FUNK, ) ; THE WORK OF LIOEHSE COURT. Continued from 1st page. given by A. B. Cole and Warren Ivdgar. Judge Hinckley, representing the remonstrance, called the same wit nesses, as were heard m the De- van ney case. The interrogation of a witness for the remonstrance by Judge Hinckley, regarding an alleged vio lation of the liquor law by applicant Forbes, in selling to a minor, pre cipitated a lively tilt between him and Hon. Grant Herring, counsel tor applicant. The question was " didn't you see Forbes sell liquor to a minor at the City Hotel?" Judge Herring, in vigorous tones objected to the question on the ground that it was improper, and also that it was not specified in the remonstrance, as required by the rules of Court. The Court, how ever, overruled the objection, and permitted the question to be asked At the close of the testimony Judge Herring renewed his objec tion. He was convincingly earnest, and at the close of his remarks, he was loudly applauded. While counsel were getting ready for the next case, the Court dis posed of the following business. Simon R. Carl vs. Andrew Zero. In re rule to show cause why judg ment should not be opened and the defendant be permitted to make de fense. This action is an appeal from judgment of a Justice of the Peace. Judgment being entered in favor of the plaintiff. Now January 16, 1905, the rule is made absolute and the defendant is permitted to make defense. John F. Creasy and Hervey Creasy, administrators of W. II. Creasy, deceased, vs. Harry B. Creasy et. al. In the matter of the rule to show cause why judgment should not be stricken off. Now January 16, 1905, this rule is made absolute and the judgment is di rected to be stricken off. Jacob R. Stine vs. Bair and Cher ington. In the matter of the rule to show cause why judgment should not be opened. And now January 16, 1905, the present rule is amend ed by substituting therefor a rule to show cause why the judgment should not be opened and the de fendant permitted to make defense and which rule is made absolute upon condition that the delendants shall within fifteen days give suffi cient surety in the sum of $500 to pay the plaintiff whatever sum may ultimately be recovered by this action and also file an affidavit of defense in that time. The oath of citizenship was ad ministered to Eugene Gillaspy and Bernard Mooney, both of Conyng ham township. F.dward Bowen took the initia tory, in his application for a hotel in Locust township. He stated to the Court the reason for a hotel, among which is the fact, that in one direction it is two miles and if the other direction three miles frori any other hotel. His house, he said, is equal to every requirement and there is sufficient stable ac commodations. He was supported by the testimony of five witnesses, Patrick Bowen, William Goss, Chas. Drumheller, Henry Hart and Clark Martz. There was a remonstrance against the application, in support of which. Rev. Bachman, pastor of the Re formed Church at Numidia and Mill Grove, Lawson Lee, Aaron Rarig, Daniel Levan and B. S. Bodine, took the witness stand. 1 nere was no remonstrance against the application of Thomas Boran and John Caliban for res taurant license at Ceutralia.

Miller for a hotel license in Briarcreek, found favor with the Court, and the same was granted befoie all the testimony had been heard. An application iu which there was centered considerable local interest, by reason of the fact that the applicant is a resident of town, was that of J. E. Sands, for a hotel license at Mordansville. The tes timony of the applicant, together with that of Frank Mordau, H. II. Kindt, M. J. Elder and C L. Sands, clearly proved the ueed ot a hotel at that point. There was no reinonslrauce.
