Spoxtmg News of tie Diy.
The meeting of tbe local billiard room
keepers, conened by George Meyers, was to
have been bold yesterday at the rooms of
Erunswick, B.iikc & Co., but owins to tome
unavoidable circumstances only three gen
tlemen and Mr. Meyers were at the meeting.
The three gentlemen were Messrs. Dodds
and representatives from the Monongahela
House and the Seventh Avenue Hotel. The
meeting was to discuss tbe question of hold
ing a billiard tournament in this city for
the State championship.
Mr. Dodds and tbe other two representa
tives had a long conversation on the matter,
and they all expressed a strong desire that
the proposed tournament should be held.
They stated that they would contribute 550
each toward the venture. Mr. Dodds ex
pressed bis surprise that after all the talk of
some people nobody should be on hand to
represent these coot! plajers and have the
toun-atnent made a sure go. Alter about an
hours' talk on the matter it wasasreed to post
pone the meeting until next Monday.
A visit was made to the various billiard
rooms last cvenin,and out of ten rooms if si ted
the keepers of eizhi. exnresseu themselves as
ueinc bijlily in favor of the project. Mr.
Maron, of the Central Hotel, said: "Why, cer
tainly I'm iu witb anything that willbooni
billiards, and a tournament will do that.'' Man
ager Dm is, of the hi? 1'iltli avenue rooms, was
too sick to attend the meeting, but he stated
that lie would cerU'mlv aht in any way
toward getting up a tournament. Mr Harri
son, ot tbe Hotel Anderson, could not attend
the uieetmc; but he mil help in the promotion
of :i tourney. Ed Morns, of Morris A Kuehne,
is hcartil in favor uf the project and his firm
will support it.
It i. therefore, certain that a bis majority of
the room keepers will assist m proinoiins the
tourney, aud that means that e mil have one
mihiscitN. 'there is, undoubtedlj, abirace
for billiards in this city at present, and a tour
nament uould certainly be pouular. Xo'hinc
could be morelnlercstln:: than to have the State
championship played for here Uieu Pitfoburg
had tuo or tLree aspirant for the title in tl e
contest. One thins is sure, that there will be
no peace until the question of who Is the best
plajer in Pittsbun; i settled.
THE WHEELMEN HOPEFUL.
Zimmerman Reinstated and Others Expect
tu Get Hack Into the fold.
IsEwYoi.K, D-c 23. Chairman Davol, of
the League ui American Wheelmen's Racing
Board, has, altera thorough investigation into
the record of Arthur A. Zimmerman, of the
2Ceu Jersey Athletic Club, from which he was
suspended with WilI.e W Windle. charged
with hating recend hlo training expenses
wnile at Pcona, haN concluded that he was at
least, a little hist) in his suspension of Zim
merman, and has reinstated him. The rein
statement of the Neiv Jersey rider has set the
other men wondering w nether any more will be
taken back into the fold. From con ter&ations
with prominent bictcle men it would appear
that the hopes that have been raised by the
men charged with like offenses need not be
raised Dy tins one reinstatement, as the? will
not be dealt with as lenicntl) as Zimmer
man. Mr. Davol lalornicd a &u re
porter that he was certain, after com
iuuuicatimr with Sccrctarj bullivan, of the
Amateur Athletic Union, u ho is a member of
the ew Jersey Athletic Club, that the latter
club had not paid any of Zimmerman's ex
penses while, training. The connection of his
name with the selling of the Washington race
was entirely unauthorized h the Jersey rider,
as he was entirely ignorant, much less"guiltt,
of acceding to a request to sell the race. The
reinstatement of Zimmenran was not caused
uj the prominent uthletii "pic, sis many may
imagine; tbe WbechncuV K icing itoard found
tnat their charges against tins man were a bit
prematuie, and so rescinded them. There are
strong probabilities that a few more may be re
instated, hut a large number will receive the
full p. n It).
Z.mim.nna", who is a very popular member
of the Jcttx.)' Athletic Club. , is cll as among
the wheelmen, was overjoyed at the news of
Ins reinstatement. There is every indication
that at the meeting of the committee of the L.
A. W.. A. A. V, and N. A. 1 A. O. on Satur
day that an agreement will be arrived at that
will preclude anv ; oibilmcs of a clash. be
tween the A. A. W. aud Jj. A. V,'.. despite the
prospects of such at the outset of the suspen-
JACKEOS'S EXCUSE.
The Colorod Pnglllst K-vplains 'Wily He
Didn't Knock Goddard Out.
Peter Jackson, the colored pugilist, makes
the following excuse regarding the contest
with Goddard:
"I was surprised to learn at Honolulu that
mj meeting with Goddard had been so repre
sented as to make me apiear inferior to that
boxer. It is all wrong Alter reaching Syd
ney I was asked to box in order that nici-time
friends might judge it experience in Califor
nia and elsewhere had made any change Jn my
style or menu I refused because I wanted to
simply enjoy mjself while I was there. My
friends were so persistent, however, that I
at last consented to box eight rounds with God
dard. presuming that they would only be such
rounds as two men commonly box without
especial preparation. 1 continued my indul
gence in social pleasures aud really had as
good time as a man could. When'the time
for m exhibit on with Goddard camo I went
over to M lbourne a little before the night and
KeptuD renewing old acquaintanceships and
cementing neT friendships. On the night of
the boxing I was lceliug comfortable and far,
but on stripping was surprised to note that
Goddard showed the most caret nl preparation.
He had evidently trained hard.and us m the
finest of condition. He at once made a pace
that would have soon winded me, and Icon
fined myself to scoring clean poluts on him
without exerting myself to stop him. As it was
he was so much outpointed as to make it ap
parent that if it had been a teal light be would
hardly ha been "in it" He hit me some
hard blows, but so few in comparison with the
clean, straight scorching that was done on him
as to make the decision of the referee a com
plete surpnse to the crowd, even though it
could see only Goddard all through tbe affair.
A more partisan lot of spectators I never saw,
and I am rot anxious to appear belore a Mel
bourne crowd again azainst a local man. 1 con
sider Goddard an easy game, if we were both in
fair condition. I made a mistake with bnu, but
shall not repeat it with another. He did not
leave a scratch on me.
A BAD SET BACK.
Tbe Late Questionable Battle at Buffalo In
juring the. Sport There.
BUFFALO, Dec 20 The worst set-back given
to boxing was the match between the unknown
and Gorman. The efforts in defense of tbe
gang have been very weak. r"or have any of
the participants given any explanation which Is
at all satisfactory, and if they aro Innocent a
wrong course has been pursued. If Murphy
was not fleeced it conld be shown easily.
There is another thing about the matter that
should be remembered. If the light had been
on its merits or for tbe gate money thero would
hai e been no cause lor the protest now being
made. As it is tbo charge has been openly
made that thn whole deal was to catch Muiphy
for 7,000. It was simply a bunko-steerer's
deal.
Or course, no one supposes that Murphy can
get back his money, but before theaifalns over
the ring may learn something about the laws of
this btate. it is but a few weeks ago the ring of
contractors learned that the conspiracy laws of
this btate arc decidedly ample. The same sec
tions will cover Murpln's case exactly. If it
cau be proien he was duped by tbe gang then
tbe indictment should follow.
A rilchcr for Uio Phillies.
MrLWAtJKlE, Dec. 23. Although all Na
tional Leaguo clubs are said to"have agreed to
eign no men before January 13, the Philadel
phia Clnb some days ago signed Jack Thornton,
.... .j- Ji:
frti-'fBffF"'""?!-'
the crack pitcher of the Milwaukee team. The
loral management had tried to fceeplt a secret
for the present. The consideration is said to bo
4.000 and the exchange of one or two Phila
delphia players, but the local management say
thev only got a Philadelphia battery in ex
change. TUo battery is understood to bo
Vickery and Screiber.
THE PHILADELPHIA T20UBLE.
Whito Wings Thurman to Visit the Quakers
on a Peace mission.
Philadelphia, Dec 29. It is safe to say
that tbo Athletic Club will not play on the
Philadelphia League grounds, no matter who
gets tho Philadelphia Association franchise.
Tbo Association officers a(o against it. This
cither means that the Wagner Brothers will get
the franchise in consideration for their Broad
and Dauphin street grounds, or else that tho
minority stockholders of the Athletic Club will
be called upon to fit up new grounds.
In reply to the letter from George Morrison
Ta)lor, receiver of tho Athletic Club, Mr.
Thurman writes that he will be in the city to
look after the Association aff lirs after January
I. J. J. Snellenburjr will, however, this week
make a isit to Columbus. Manager Barnie, of
Baltimore, who is aln a member of the Amer
ican Association Conference Committee, is, 'tis
said, heart and hand In favor or giving the
franchise to the Athletics, while the latter also
claim to have a good friend of their cause in
Brooklj n. But their is trouble brewing in their
o a n camp. It is now said that unless William
1". Russell can get a controlling interest m the
Athletic Club he will not invest any money in
baseball.
MAGNATES WILL MEET TO-DAY. '
Messrs. Nimick and Brown to Be Elected
Directors of the Xcw Ball Club.
There will be a meeting of the local ball club
directors to-day to transact business of more or
less importance. Two more directors will be
elected to make the requisite seven. The two
additions will be Messrs. W. A. Nimick and L.
li. Brown. Manager Hanlon has resigned from
the directorate and his place will be tiled by
P. It, Anton. By-laws will be adopted and the
meeting will adjourn until next Saturday.
At Saturday's meeting Ed Hanlon will be
definitely elected manager of tbe club, and the
new organization will be given the assets of the
two olu clubs in exchange for a certain amount
of stock. The club then will be in thorough
ship-shape. President O'Neill stated yester
day that all differences havo been healed and
that everybody connected with the club will
from now on pull in the same direction, that is,
to get a good team.
SPALDING BUYS IT.

Chicago, Dec 29. President A. G. Spald
ing completed an arrangement with Presi
dent John Addison for the transfer of all tbe

It is thonzht both grounds will be retained, the
games in Chicago being played alternately at
each.
Lots of Money for Dempsey.
New Yoke. Dec 29. Bob Fitzsimnions docs
not appear to have many money e J admirers in
this city, and the predictions made by some
sporting men before his meeting with Demp
sey was arranged that ho would be the favorite
iuthe betting has not thus far held good. A
well-known broker left $l,00u with Billy Ed
wards, at the Hoffmann House, to he wagered on
Dempsey at etens. Phil 1inch has 5000 which
be de-ires to place on tbe same conditions.
Jack McAulilTe.wro has consented tolnokafter
Dempsey in the ring, will leave for New Or
leans on rriday.
The Purse Is Too Small.
Jim McCoy called at this office last evening,
and stated that he cannot think of fighting
l'red Wise to a finish for S50. Ho (McCoy) will
fight ten rounds for S3", or to a finish for $150.
He states that he will meet tbe parties inter
ested at this office any night they name to talk
the matter over.

CHANGE OF OPINION.
'Force Bill Advocates Are Kow Quito.
Sure of Its Passage.
FAY0EABLE TURN IN SENTIMENT.
Senator Hoar Takes the Floor In Defense
of the Measure.
TIIE T0S1T10X OP CAMEK0S iXD QUA!
trnOM A STAFF COItnKSPONDEKT.l
"Washington, Dec. 21). There was a
deal of elections bill talk in the precincts of
the Senate wing of the Capitol to-day, aud
the weight of opinion was certainly favor
able to the theory that the bill will be paEsed
by the Senate. The vacillation of sentiment
in regard to the fate of this measure is some
thing almost unique in the aunals of Con
gress. Two weeks ago the most earnest ad
vocates of the bill could hardly be induced
to predict its passage, and yet these advo
cates now say they were convinced from the
first that it would have nearly if not quite
tbe solid Republican support.
Mr. Aldrich's action in regard to the
cloture amendment to-day, in reporting it
and having it laid over, is accepted by both
Democrats and Republicans as notice that
the proposed change of antiquated rules will
be brought up for discussion the moment it
becomes apparcut the Republicans have a
quorum, and that in some way it will be
adopted without prolonged discussion.
A Weapon Against Tammany.
John I. Davenport, Supervisor of Elec
tions iu New York, who was hopeless in re
gard to the elections bill a fortnight ago,bas
said, within the last few days, that he was
now convinced that the bill would become a
law. Much of the change of opinion, Mr.
Davenport thinks, is due to the fact that
Republican Senators who were lukewarm in
regard to the measure because of its appar
ent sectional charactcr,are at last convinced
that it is more important in its application
to the North than to the South.
It has leaked out that the Democrats care
far less for its operation in the South than
in New York city, lor they feeldhat it will
avail them nothing if they gain the whole
Southern section and lose tbe metropolis by
a curtailment of the method of Tammany.
Senator McPbersou's declaration the other
d.iv in repard to corruption in Philadelphia
elections was intended to draw the fire away
from New York. It is now believed that
the lukewarm Senators have all been in
duced to come over to the support ot the
bill with the understanding that if it be
comes a law, nothing shall be done in it3
application to the South which would to
any important degree renew sectional
hatred, but that it shall be rigidly operative
in Northern cities like New York.
Cauierou and Quay's Position.
A prominent ?ennylvanian said to-day
that while he believed both of the' Pennsyl
vania Senators were opposed to the bill as
affecting the South, for the reason that they
believed it would be inoperative at best and
would arouse sectional bitterness without
any counterbalancing good, neither of them
have at any time seriously iutended to vote
against the bill if it came to a vote in the
Senate, with anything like the unanimous
support ot the Republican side.
Now that a new Republican Senator from
Idaho has been sworn in, with another to
come. within a few days, and both of them
supporters of the elections bill, a few Re
publicans can be spared if sick or absent on
pressing business, as Senator Ingalls is, and
any Republican measure will still have suf
ficient support to put it through.
Indications are not wanting to evidence
the purpose of the majority of the Republi
can Senators to terminate tbe debate on the
elections bill. There will be a determined
eliort to adopt tbe cloture rule and to press
tbe bill to a speedy determination.
Hoar's Defense of tho BilL
Senator Hiscock addressed tbe Senate to
day on tbe bill, and at the conclusion of bis
speech Senator Hoar arose for bis defense ot
the measure for which he is sponsor.
He rejected and repelled, with all the in
dignation which tbe calumny deserved, the
aspersion that tbe bill was a partisan meas
ure, or that any man who supported it was
actuated by partisan purposes. Its sup
porters undoubtedly believed it to be true
that tbe men who were now deprived of
their constitutional rights were deprived of
them because of their political opinions.
But that the operation of the bill would
give one party an advautagc over another he
utterly denied. The committee that re
ported the bill had merely undertaken to
act on the advice of Mr. S. S. Coi and other
leading Democrats and to extend the ben
eficient system of electoral supervision in
forced in New York to other parts of the
country.
If the pending bill should become a law,
and should prove effectual, he said, it would
be the last of tbe great measures that had
anything of the legal restraint which the
changes iu the Constitution had made
necessary. Another measure which he had
fondly hoped would precede this one would
have to follow it. That was a measure to
secure lor every child on American soil the
education which would fit him to read and
understand the Constitution of bis country.
"When these two things were brought to
pass, the era of the Republic would be real.
The struggle for the pending bill was a
struggle lor the last step toward establish
ing a doctrine to which tbe American
people were pledged by their histoiy, their
Constitution, their opinions and their
interests.
An Honor to Bo Abused.
Republican Senators charged that, through
election practices iu operation in some of
tbe Slates, the seats of at least 30 Repre
sentatives had been illegally usurped; that
tbe Constitution of the United States bad
Deen so violated and overthrown that for 14
years a minority had controlled theNational
House oi Reprcseutatives aud that for four
years the Presidency of tbe United States
itself had been held oy a usurper.
What had Senators on the other side
answered to that? Some of them had seemed
to think that their best answer was in rail
ing and reviling at the Senator who had
charge of the bill. Their abuse had done
him (Mr. Uoar)au honor to which he would
not have laid claim. It brought him into a
company into which be should otherwise
have been ton modest to seek admissiou. It
was Democrats who had reviled Adams and
Sumner aud Seward and Lincoln and Grant.
The Senators from Virginia and West Vir
ginia (Mr. Daniel and Mr. Keuna) bad but
repeated, with far less capacity, what their
predecessors bad said to men, the latchets
ol whose shoes he (Mr. Hoar) was not
worthy to unloose.
Without concluding his speech Mr. Hoar
yielded to an eiecutive session, and the
Senate soon adjourned. Lightnzk.
Canadian BEcmaocrry.
A Resolution by Senator Carlisle on the
Subjctt.
Washington, Dec 29. Senator Car
lisle to-day introduced a joint resolution,
authorizing the President to appoint three
commissioners and to invite Canada, to ap
poiut the same number, to consider all ques
tions affecting tbe commercial relations of
the two countries uuder existing treaties,
and to recommend to their respective gov
ernments such reciprocal legislation as will
settle all differences and best tend to pro
mote the growth of trade and commerce be
tween the two governments.
CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.
An Effort to Be Hade to Dispose of Them
Soon.
Washington, Dec. 29. Mr. Rowell, of
Illinois, Chairman of the House Committee
on Elections, intends during the month of
January to secure, if possible, final action
"by the House on all the remaining" unde
cided election contests. One contest only
remains to be dealt with by the Committee
that of Eaton vs. Phclan, from the Mem
phis, Tenn., district. Though no action has
been taken on this case there is a wcll
fouuded impression that the majority of the
committee will report iu favor of the seat
ing of the contestant, Eaton.
The cases in question, exclusive of the
Pbelan contest, arc those of McGinnis
against Alderson from West Virginia, and
Goodrich against Bullock from Florida.

The Victim's Father Sutlered the Same
Fate From Ii Mob.
JFROJI A STAFF COBRESPONDKHT.J
Washington, Dec. 29. John P. Mat
thews, the postmaster at Carrollton, Miss.,
who was murdered a day or two ago by a
young man named McBride, has a brother,
J. M. Matthews, living in this city, who was
the late Republican candidate for Congress
against General Hooker. Mr. Matthews to-
-day reeeived a telegram from Carrollton
giving the following particulars:
"John was murdered by a mob. He had
been notified by a dozen men that a mob
was going to kill him ihat day. He saw
the men tfith their guns and he got a rifle.
When he did this tbe Sheriff arrested him
and placed him under bonds. John
pointed three men out to the Sheriff
aud asked him to arrest them aud protect
his lite. The Sheriff refused. It was
a plot and all were in it. John told Lloyd
(a young man working for him) he thought
they would kill him before night. He
stayed at the postofnee until his second din
ner bell rang, when he said he would go to
dinner. They begged him not to go, but he
said he would. When he reached the hotel
steps, McBride, who was still in bis drug
store, shot him down with a shotgun, killing
him instantly.
"Not satisfied with this, McBride fired
five shots at him from a revolver after he
was dead. The mob then began dancing
and shouting around the body with the most
vile abuse and curses. John had received
several anonymous letters, telling him be
must leave the town. The murderer goes
free and all because they must have the
postoffice at Carrollton."
"My brother," said Mr. Matthews, "was
only 21 years old. He was a bright, intelli
gent boy. He was appointed postmaster
several months ago at Carrollton, and while
there, have been a number of threats
at his life, I did not think anything would
come ot it. He was tbe first Republican
postmaster to take tlie Carrollton office lor
many years, and it was freely said that no
Republican should hold the office. Carroll
ton is Senator George's borne."
Mr. Matthews, the dead man, comes of an
old family in Mississippi. In 1883 his
father was shot down by a mob at Hazel
hurst, Miss.
CIVIL SERVICE APPOINTMENTS.
The Commission Denies Some of TVana-
lnaker's Recent Statements.
IFROII A STAFF CORr.ESPOJJDENT.1
Washington; Dec. 29. The Civil Ser
vice Commission has addressed a letter to
the President in reply to tbe annual report
of the Postmaster General, in which Mr.
Wanamaker said that the civil service ex
amination ought to be improved by being
rendered more difficult. In its letter the
commission points out the fact that it has
many times asked high officials of the Post
office Department for suggestions as to the
improvement of these examinations, and has
also asked the Postmaster General himself,
aud that tbe officials have never been able
to give them any suggestions. This report,
they say, is the first intimation they have
received of the Postoffice Dep irtmenthavmg

CANADIAN CUSTOMS FBADDS.
The Government Losses Will Not Be So
Largo as Stated.
Washington, Dec. 29. Secretary Win
dom to-day received the report ot Special
Agent Whitehead iu regard to alleged
frauds.in the matterof goods shipped from
Canada, but he relused to disclose the char
acter of its contents, for the reason that it
applied solely to the Consular, aud did not
reflect in the slightest upon the Treasury
customs service. He had therefore referred
the report to the Secretary of State for such
action as he thougnt necessary. It was
learned at the State Department that tbe
report of Dr. St. Clair, of the Consular
Bureau, who conducted the investigation in
behalf of that department, had not yet been
submitted and that nothing would be made
public in. regard to tbe resultsot tbe investi
gation in advance oi its receipt.
It'is now said that the 'published reports
in regard to the matter are greatly exagger
ated, and that while irregularities were
lound in the Consular service, as recently
administered in Canada, the resultant losses
to tbe Government through undervaluation
or otherwise, are nothing like the amount
stated, viz.: 51,000,000.
IDAHO'S PIBST SENATOR. .
Governor Shoup Sworn In as a Member of
the Senate.
IFROM A STAVT C0EUESP0NDENT.3
Washington, Dec. 29. When ex-Governor
Sboup, of Idaho, presented his cre
dentials and was sworn in as Senator this
morning, the unusual occurrence was pre
sented of a Senator certifying to his own
credentials. The occasion for this Pooh
Bah performance on tbe part of the new
Senator lay iu the fact that at the time of his
election he was Governor of the State, and
under the law it was his duty to pass of
ficially upon his own election and certify
tbe .'act lo the United States Senate..
Senator Shoup was assigned to a seat on
the extreme outer aisle on the Republican
side. He is a man of fine personal address,
weighing nearly 300 poundsiullysix feetiu
heignt and bald-headed. A close-cropped
silvery mustache gives him a Frenchy ap
pearance. His colleague. Senator-elect Mc
Conuell, did not appear, he not having yet
arrived in. the city. Both the new Senators
are tree coinage advocates.
Brown's Nomination Confirmed.
Washington, Dec. 2D. The Senate to
day confirmed the nomination of Henry B.
Brown, of Michigan, to be Associate Justice
ot the United States Supreme Court.

KEGULATING LIQUOR
Representative Fow Has a Substitute
for the Iirooks Law
READY FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
It Calls for Many Changes and a Different
License Court.
COLD WATEE PEOPLE WILL OPPOSE IT
rerrciAt telioeam to tiie dispatcim .
Philadelphia, Dec. 29. Notwith
standing the announcement made, appar
ently by authority, that there' is to be no
radical change in tbe Brooks law, Legis
lator John H. Fow, of this city, proposes to
intioduce a bill on the opening day of the
coming session of the Legislature, which, if
passed, will make a number of changes in
the present liquor statutes. It is entitled,
"An act to consolidate the licensing of whole
salers, retailers, compounders, brewers,
rectifiers and bottlers." According to this
act, licenses are to be granted to citizens of
this State, but they must be citizens of the
United States as well.
The retailers will be allowed to sell in
quantities not exceeding one gallon.
Wholesalers can sell spirituous and vinous
liquors in quantities of one gallon and over,
but nothing less. They cannot sejl less
than five gallons of malt or brewed liquors,
but bottlers may sell the latter two beverages
in quantities "down to one gallon. The
brewers are also restricted to five gallons as
the minimum which they may sell. No
wholesaler, compounder, bottler, rectifier,
manufacturer or brewer shall allow any
thing to be drank on the premises.
New Form of License Court.
All liceuses are to be granted by a license
court, to be composed, in every county in
the State, of the County Commissioners
and two commissioners appointed by tbe
court. The latter may be either learned or
unlearned in the law. "This," Mr. Fow
says, "makes a license court, three members
of which will be elected by the people and
two to be appointed by the court.ind there
fore it will always be iu tbe power, either of
the people or tbe court, to make a change if
tbe license court does not act right."
All petitions, remonstrances or letters in
the nature ot remonstrances shall be sworn
to aud filed for record in the case, and the
License Court shall not consider as evidence
any anonymous communication. The ap
plicant shall have the right to be repre
sented by counsel and also the right to
cross-examine all parties remonstrating
against him. The Clerk of the Court of
Quarter Sessions shall still continue to be
tne Clerk of the License Court.
Little Change in Present Eules.
Nearly all tbe rules in reference to the
form of the petition and in regard to tbe
filing of the same are retained'iu Mr. Fob's
bill. The bondsmen may be two reputable
freeholders of the county, instead of being
confined to the ward or township, as at
present. This license court shall have the
same discretion and power in granting
licenses as the present courts, and cau re
fuse them whenever, iu tbe opinion of the
majority of the court, the same is not neces
sary, and tbe party asking for the same is
not fit to be intrusted with a license, and
shall, when a license is refused on the re
quest of the applicant, file their reasons for
not granting it.
The court shall have power to revoke any
license on any facts proven before them tbat
would show them that the law has been vio
lated and sball transfer license3rom person
to person, whenever, in their judgment, the
same should be done. Wnenever a rule is
taken to revoke a man's license, he must
have five days' notice and a copy of the affi
davit on which the rule, was granted.
The Cost of Licenses.
Regarding the cost of licenses, the bill
provides that all wholesaler?, brewers, com
pounders, distillers and rectifiers shall pay
51, TOU per annum; oottierc m cities ot the
first, second o.- third class, S2S0, and $100
in all other cities, boroughs and townships;
retailers in cities of the first, second or
third class, $500, except where it is shown
by the mercantile appraiser's returns that
their receipts are over 15,000 per year.
They then shall pay $1,000 and the license
money so paid shall be divided, as under
the present law.
Section 17 of the Brooks law. which has
been tbe most obnoxious section of tbat act,
will be struck from Mr. Fow's bill. This
section is the one which prevents any one
with or without a license irom treating his
friends on election day or Sunday, even at
his own table. "To say," said Mr. Fow,
"that a man cannot have a bottle of winein
his own house and give it to a friend on Sun
day or election day is the veriest nonsense."
The Prohlhltlonlsts Will Oppose It.
Some of the other sections of the present
bill are chanced where it is necessary to
meet the decision ot tbe different courts of
the Commonwealth. A few of the minor
portions ot the present act will be used in
tbe new bill as tbey now stand. The mem
bers'of the Prohibition party organization
in this city are opposed to any change in tbe
existing laws regulating sales of liquors,
which shall take away from judges tbe
control of granting the licenses.
The Prohibition City Committee has
adopted resolutions to thai effect and enter
ed their "emphatic protest against the at
tempt now being made to strip the courts of
their power in granting licenses aud to
lodge such power in an excise commission.
Any change in the existing laws, which
shall have in view the reliet of the judges
from the more arduous labors in connection
with the License Court, will receive onr ap
proval, provided the conclusive and final
decision of all applications for license shall
rest alone with the court."
Proposed Brooks Law Amendment.
Embodied iu the resolutions is a recom
mendation to the Legislature, advocating
the passage of tbe following amendment to
the Brooks law:
Judges each year shall have power to appoint
three nersons. who shall hear alj applications
for license, with powerto send lor and examine
witnesses. Tbat such persons so appointed,
after hearing all applications and all testimony
pertinent thereto, sball report to the judges
such persons and places, as in their judgment
should aud should not bo licensed. Tbat the
judges shall thereupon examine such report
and connrm it in whole or in part, bygraiitin
orrelusingsuch applications for license as in
their judgment they shall deem proper under
existing laws. These persons shall hoappointed
yearly, to he removable at pleasure; to be the
incumbents ot no other office, nor to he en
gaged directly or Indirectly in the liquor
traffic, and to recelvo an adequate salary.

AN ANCIENT SINNER.
HE IS ONE OF THE W0EST CE00KS IN
THE COUHTBY.
His Record a Celebrated One In Criminal
History Still Plying His Confidence
Games at the Age of 70 Albert Victor
Ward's Career of Crime.
Kansas City, Dec. 29. Albert Victor
Ward, the old man arrested in this city by
Detective Hayes last week, and now in jail
on four charges of practicing confidence
games, has been identified. He is not a
wealthy horse-breeder of Kentucky out
on air unfortunate spree, bat is one
of tbe most noted and dangerous
check-raisers and all-around crooks that
this country has ever known. He is a man
now probably 70 years old, and over half of
tbat time has been spent in the penitentiary
in nearly half the States in the Union. His
pictures are in the rogue's gallery of every
principal police station of the country.
Ward had but recently been released from
the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus, where
he was sent for cutting a female fortune
teller of Cincinnati. Inspector Byrnes, of
New York, in his book on criminals, devotes
a whole chapter to Ward, whom he desig
nates as the most skillful and dangerous
check-raisei aud confidence man in the
country. Ward is a native of Indianapolis.
His correct name is the one he always gives,
and he is believed to be a descendant of one
of the three celebrated Ward families of
Kentucky.
Albert "Victor is thought to be one of two
brothers who went to the bad years ago, one
of them being a fugitive from justice for a
murder he committed early in the fifties,
and the other following suit not long after
ward by committing a forgery. This latter
one, it is claimed, is- the aged and gray
haired man now in jail here. His
preliminary trial will take place
next Saturday. The identification of
Ward is wholly due to a suggestion"
from a reporter, who thought he recognized
in Ward the old confidence swindler sent to
prison from Cincinnati about two years ago
and who imparted his belief to Chief of Po
lice Speers.
AN INJURED DOCTOR.
HE EECOVEES $2,000 S10LEH FE0M HIM
BY AN ALLEGED WIFE.
Tbe Proves Her Story and Is Acquitted, To
gether With a Female Frpnd Con
Ironted Iy a Garnishee on an Old Judg
ment A Safe Robbery Case.
Philadelphia, Dec. 20. Kate Make
peace, or Mrs. Dr. John Montsomery, was
acquitted to-day, without even a fight, in
the new Court House of the charge of steal
ing $2,095 from the doctor, who, she claims,
is her husband Miss Lizzie Anderson, ber
triend, was also acquitted of receiving
stolen goods. This is the case oi al
leged safe robbery, a few days ago, in
which Dr. Montgomery charged Kate
Makepeace ot burglarizing his safe and
taking 2,095. Miss Makepeace, or Mrs.
Montgomery, admitted having had tbe safe
opened during the doctor's absence and
taking tbe money, part of which she had
handed over to her friend, Miss Anderson,
who is a buxom and attractive dressmaker.
Miss Makepeace, who has lived with the
doctor for the past 13 years, claimed to be
his wife, and stated tbat she had been so
recognized by him, although no marriage
ceremony had ever occurred. Miss Make
peace, or Mrs. Montgomery, Miss Ander
son and over 20 witnesses snrrounded
their counsel, Moses Stevenson
and Thomas B. Price, while the doc
tor, in picturesque black sidewbiskers,
white hair and green spectacles, gathered
with the police.
District Attorney Graham abandoned tbe
case, on the ground that there could be no
larceny by a wife irom a husband. The bill
a?.iinit Miss Anderson was also submitted,
and verdict of not guilty taken. Mr. Stev
enson satisfied "Sir. Graham, through Isaac
Lobb and his two daughters, of Cliltou
Heights, and other witnesses, tbat Dr. Mont
gomery and Miss Makepeace had boarded
at tbe "former's house as Mr. and Mrs. Dr.
Montgomery, and George Cowan, of Clifton,
showed the same state of facts. '
When Dr. Montgomery made a demand
for the return of his money he ran against
an unexpected snag in the shape of a garni
shee against 5843, being the principal and
interest of an old jit'Igment against him,
bearine the date of 1878. About $2,000 was
returned to him.
