BROOKS LAW KNOCKED OUT, The Original Package Industry Ene couraged in Pennsylvania, PiTrssURrG, June 16.—A Pennsylvania jury practically decided that the Brooks high Pe law in Pennsylvania is null and void. A telegram from Kittanning, the county seat of Armstrong county, says the jury in the case of Charles Silver- man brought in a verdict of not guilty. Silverman sold a carload of beer at Leechburg, as agent of a Hamilton brewery, and expected to escape prose- cution under the original package de- cision of the United States supreme court, The jury returned a verdict of not guilty of selling without a license, not guilty of selling to minors, but guilty of selling to persons of known intemperate habits, Silverman says this conforms with the original package decision, and that sales can be made in every town in the state with or without a license. Leechburg is a local option town and a prohibitory district, by vote of its citizens, under a state law which antedates the Brooks law. Will Nominate Delamater, PriLapeELPHIA, June 16.—The nomi- nation of Senator Delamater for gov- ernor by the Harrisburg convention seems assured, Hisname will be placed before the convention by Col. John J. Carter, ex-mayor of Meadville, a large oil producer and one of the leading men in that portion of the state. Col. Carter is an eloquent and forceful speaker, and the fact that he is an individual oil pro- ducer will effectually set at rest the port that Senator Delmnater will be op- posed by the oil men outside of the Standard Oil company on account of his attitude in the i Bil- lingsley bill. It is not improbable that District Attorney Graham may make the speech seconding the nomination of Senator Delamater. re- $1 Another Dunkard Love Feast.
