 ACCOMMODATE REMoNsTRANrs,
TaftvilIe Saloon Question Will Come Before Commissioners Thursday.

The hearing before the county con- missioners of the remonstranceS against the granting of licenses to six saloons in Tartville has been post poned until Thursday morning at 9.30 o'clock. The hearing was to have been held Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and the commissioners, five of the saloon keepers, their counsel Attorney J. J.. Desmond, and a number of others in terested were present at the appointed time in the commissioners office in the city hall. Attorney W. A. Briseoe, counsel for the Ponemah company, ap- peared, however, and, stating that John Eccles and Rev. Arthur O'Keefe were both unable to be present, requested that the hearing be postponed until Thursday morning. After a brief dis cussion the postponement was allowed, as it was stated that the testimony Of Father O'Keefe and MT. Eccles is most important.
 The remonstrants whose names are signed to the six remonstrances are eight in number, John Eccles, A. O'Keefe. J. D. Aiken. F. J. Working, Alfred Edmundson, George W. Whittle- sey, George N. Beardow and Lewis A. Tilliaghast.
 The saloon keepers are Arthur E. Watt. Gus Paradis, John J. Dsjarlais, Charles Mercier & Cc., Peter Fournier and Patrick OKeefe, and all except the last were present Monday morning. All are within 200 feet of the Wequonnoc school and some within the same dis tance of the Sacred Heart church.
 There promises to be. plenty of in teresting testimony at the hearing on Thursday and both interests have strong points to bring forth.
