who claim that regardless Of how
cheaply legitimate whisky may be OBJ
tained after repeal, "moonshine" liquor
will be available at about half as much.
In fact. they reason. the hard-liquor-
drinking public probably will get new
deal from the Illicit industry because,
with plenty Of legal whisky to be had,
the "moonshine" distillers will be forced
to raise the quality Of their product
and at the same time lower the price In
order to retain their market.
History Favors "Shiners."
Just what will happen remains to be
seen, but history is In favor Of the
"moonshiners." Almost every one
knows that the "moonshine" stills had
fires under them before prohibition was

fires kept on burning and the liquor
kept on flowing during the prohibition

DESPITE REPEAL
Kentucky SpecuIates Whether
Doom of Illicit Stills Is
Sealed by Vets.
BY the Associated Press.

FRANKFORT, KY, October 1s.-Now
that Kentucky has come to the aid of
one OF her major industries-the whisky
distilling business-by enabling distillers
to obtain permits to make whisky when
the eighteenth amendment Is repealed,
speculation has arisen as to what will
happen to the tndustry's renegade rela-
tive, "moonshining.
Until recent years the moonshiner
was confined principally to the noun
tain regions, where rocky cliffs and
hidden caves afforded comparatively
safe refuge from 'revenooers" or Fed
eral agents. But the industry is no
longer what it used to be. Almost every
county in the State now has its quota
Of "moonshine" stills pouring out their
stream of spirits.
OF present-day "moonShining" there
are many who believe repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment will be judg-
ment day for the sinners" And there
are just as many who believe tho in
dustry will go along about its business
Is 1t did before prohibition.
Market Chief Factor.
Exponents Of the former theory point
out that makers Of illegal liquor will not
be able to compete with the legitimate
business simply for economic reasons.
They contend the price of legalized
whisky will be low enough to cut down,
or even eliminate. the demand for the
less reliable liquor. And, with his mar
ket gone, they argue the "moonshiner"
also will go.
On the other hand. there are many

DRUGGISTS AWAIT HARTFORD APPEAL
South Manchester Phar- fnacist Refused Permit
 By Commission

Attorney John c. Blackall of Hartford filed notice yesterday of q formal appeal to the superior court from the state liquor com missions refusal to issue a drug gist permit to Edward J. Murphy of South Manchester. The appeal is expected to be test case on the question of druggists permits or package store permits for drug stores. Members of the Water bury Druggist association are greatly interested in tho outcome of the case. They have been fol- lowing developments very closely.
 MT Murphy Is registered phar- macist and a member of the state pharmacy commission.
 It is alleged in the appeal that MT Murphy filed a proper applica- tion and bond for a druggists per- init to sell liquor, a certificate of fitness and a fee of $50 with the liquor commission and that after 9 due and proper hearing the per- init was refused because it was not an application for package store permit. It Is alleged that MT Murphy is a suitable person and his place a suitable place to have a druggists permit. He says he is aggrieved by the action of the commission and he asks a review by the court, and that the matter be remanded to the liquor commis- sion to be proceeded with accord ing to law.

 mate for 1884 Is $7,000 as com pared with $S,O0O for 1893. On the other hand, the city fathers are apparently of the opin-
 ion that more couples will walk up the aisle to say "I do" during
 1884. They estimate that receipts from marriage licenses during 1884
 will be e100 more than they were estimated at for 1888.
 Real estate transactions will be
 about the same in Waterbury for 1884, the budget predicts. The fi-
 nance board estimated that 912,OOO

Interesting Dagnostic Statistics Revealed in Annual

Diagnostic examinations made during the past year by the city laboratory totalled almost 5000, according to an annual report filed today by Miss Attracta Murray, municipal bacteriologist. The report covers the entire fiscal year of the department. Twelve different pro- cedures were followed out.
 The procedures were as follows: Examination of cultures for diph- theria bacillus; of sputum for tu- bercle bacillus; for bacterioiogical and chemical contents of milk; for bacteriological and chemical con- tents of water; testing blood for vidal reaction; for urine and feces for isolation of typhoid and dysen- tary bacilli; for smears of gonococ- GUS; for mouth secreti0ns for Vin- cents antina; for urine for gonoc- occus; for urinalisis; for vaccina- ton of school children; and for miscellaneous matters.
 The table of diagnostic examin- ations shows the following: Diph- tehria cultures, total made. 933, unber positive, 22, number negative 911; smears for gonorrhea, 57 pos- itive, 503 negative, total, 560; tu- DcTSulOSiSS Of PCSlliNCs foO hCbd- tive, total SIS; widals, positive 5, negative 72. total 77; typhoid speci- mems, urine specimens positive, none, urine specimens negative, 10, feces specimens positive, none, spe- ces negative, IS; blood counts, red blood cell counts 91, white blood seells counts, 80. differential blood &ouhts, 78. total, 249; specimens of Eincent's angina, positive, 21. neg ative, 26, total, AT.

 with the year almost closed the controller will soon be in posi- ton to see whether the city is making any money on the new sys- tenn of having the municipality collect the fees and pay the town clerk a straight salary. The char ter, up to a couple of years ago, allowed the town clerk to collect and retain all fees and pay the help in her office out of her own funds. Now the city not only pays the town clerks salary, but also the salaries of all the clerks.
 One of the unusual features of the budget is that the city fathers apparently expected to take in less money on dog licenses during 1884 than they did during 1888. This is unusual because while many dog
