THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY APRIL. 10, 1892,
MAT WORK ILL NIGHT.
The License Judges Ban Against a
Few Hard Cases Which
GREATLY DELAY THE PROCEEDINGS
Putting In Many Hours a Day in Order to
Finish Up the List
ALL THE NEWS OP THE COUNTY COURTS
Mr. Henry Phipps, Jr., seems to be
enamored of Hertfordshire for summer resi
dence, and his taste is justified by many
precedents, for no English coutrr can offer
more palatial country seats than Herts, and
the parks within its borders are noted
everywhere for the richness of the lawns and
lylvan scenery they contain.
Kneb worth, which Mr. Phipps has leased
from April to October, and not for a term
of years, as has been stated, is one of the
great show places of the Midlands, and is no
mean rival of the famous home of the Cecils
which lies only ten miles across country at
Hatfield. Xiast year Mr. Phipps spent the
summer at Uorth Mimms, a lovely estate;
also in Hertfordshire and close to Lord
Salisbury's place at Hatfield. But it did
not exactly suit him, and he Instructed a
big real estate firm in London to find him
another countrj residence for this summer.
A funny thing happened in this connec
tion. The real estate people sent Mr.
Phipps a description of a property in their
hands which they could let him have, and
he liked it so well that he wrote for further

long.

"Walls and ceiling are paneled in oak,
elaborately carved, and from the latter de

wars since their ancestors came over with
William the Conqueror. Prom the music
gallerv over the entrance depends the
splendid banner sent to the late Lord Lyt
ton by his sovereign, when she was pro
claimed Empress of India. Suits of armor
and weapons, each with a history of its own,
a crusader's chain armor here, the helm of
a Cavalier of Charles' time there, mingle
with the rich hangings, and jn the warm
light from the stained glass windows form
just the sort of place to suit the romantic
author of "The Lady of Lyons" and
"Zanoni."
The room in which the great novelist did
most of his writing, overlooks the garden,
and is reached through the library and
picture gallery, both ot which are beautiful
rooms, the latter containing many historical

partlcnlars. He was surprised to learn
that it was North Mimms again, which he
had not recognized at all by the descrip
tion. The Hrlr Is but a Schoolboy.
Finally Mr. Phipps was offered and ac
cepted Knebworth, the ancestral home of
the Lyttons, which is vacant at present by
reason of tbe recent death of Lord Lytton
(Owen Meredith) the young son who suc
ceeds to the estate and the earldom being
but a schoolboy of 15 summers. Mr. Phipps
will presumably take possession of Kneb
worth at once, and his children, two
daughters and three sons, the former now
at school in Paris and the latter at Dres
den, will spend their holidays in this beau
tiful rural retreat later on.
It is to be doubted if Mr. Phipps could
have found a lovelier place to spend the
summer months in all England. The great
Bulwer used to say that he would sooner
live in Knebworth than anywhere on earth,
and he usually contrived to stay here from
July to December, leaving it with reluc
tance for his seaside villa at Torquay or
Nice, and returning to it gladly after the
London season.
Knebworth is reached by the GreatNorth
ern Iiailroad, one of the finest in England,
but not so much patronized by Americans
as the roads which lead directly from Liver
pool to London. Twenty-nine miles out
Irom London on the Great Northern, the
train stops at a little old-fashioned village,
called Steenage, which in the coaching
days used to be something of a place, with
its wide street, trim cottages and many
taverns.
The Castro From a Car "Window.
Before you get to Stevenage, if you look
out of the car windows on the left hand side,
you may see the turrets and pinnacles of a
great stone house deeply set among masses
ot chestnuts and oaks. This is Knebworth.
It is three miles' drive from the station, the
last mile through an avenue of immense
trees, between which vou may catch
glimpses of the park, of the deer among the
bracken possibly, of the gardens, with their
fountain, lawns and gav parterres, and at
last the noble lines of the portico loom up
beloreyou. A terrace extends along the
whol e iront, and gravel paths lead off Jrom
it in every direction between beds of flow
ers to the launs and shrubberv beyond. The
hou se itsclt extends about 160 feet, and a
vie w of the south front is given herewith.
The style of the architecture is Early
Tu dor, and decidedly florid. It runs to
pi nnacles and towers every w here. The tur-
re Is of gray stone and the gilded vanes, the
I, attlements and stone balustrade, the pro
i use car ingf and the stone-mullioned win
dows, manj- of which are stained glass in
small panes, combine to make a rather be
wildering ensemble. The main entrance is
protected by a massive projecting porch,
and a hih square tower rises abene it.
On- or thp Oldest In England.
There is no mistake about the antiquity
of Knebworth. Its ery name means "The
Estate of Knebba," a Saxon chief, whose
castle existed on the site of the present
building before the Norman invasion. The
house as it stands to-day dates back, to
Henry VII'S time, when Eobert Lvtton. :
the first master of Knebworth, bearing that
name, made it his chief abiding place and
improved itsapp'earaucein Tudor style. The
building was a- quadrangle until Mrs.
Bulwer-Lytton, who lived there before the
reat novelist made it his home, pulled
own the oldest portion, sjome parts of
which were 500 years old, and reserved only
the western side.
This old lady must have had singular
ideas for a Lytton, for she coveied a grand
old fireplace ot solid oak with plaster, and
whitewashed some of the oak wainscotting.
The house is big enough in all conscience,
altogether beyond the ordinary Amer
ican conception of what is needed in a
dwelling, and Mrs. Lytton leftTSCongh for a
palace after all. '
The first room vou enter from the hall.
passing through a screen draped with Vene- I
portraits and a large representation of the
Lytton family. It was Bulwer-Lytton's
custom to retire to this room after breakfast
and deny himself to all comers till about an
hour alter noon.
An Open-AIr Ball Boom.
Although he was such a prolific! writer he
seldom wrote for longer than three hours
each day, and the balance of the time he
spent in the gardens, fishing in the lake to
the north of the house, or sauntering among
the alcoves and fragrant cloisters formed of.
box and laurel, where on the hottest day in
August it is always cool and shady.
The beauties of the garden, probably,
would charm and surprise Americans as much
as anything in the house itself the open-air
ball ro8m, for instance, which is reached by
a winding path, and lies within walls of
laurel in the heart of the garden: or the
fernery nearby sequestered in a corner of
what was once the castle moat.
Then there is the classical garden, of
which a glimpse is given in this column,
with its pond and luxuriant vegetation, its
marble statues of Horace and "Virgil stand
ing out against the dark foliage of the
trimmed yews; and nearby is the memorial
shaft of granite erected to his mother's
memory by Bulwer Lytton, surrounded by
prodigious pollards, actually cavernous in
shade.
At the Grand Staircase.
Eeturning to the house we might look at
the grand staircase, which rises bv broad,
easy steps from two sides of the halL The
balustrade is of oak, superbly carved, and
statuary, paintings and armor adorn the
walls and landings: At the head of the
stairs is an ante-room, chiefly interesting to
visitors because it contains the portraits of

small drawing room beyond is the shrine of
a fine Eembrandt, and bright bugle tapestry
from the Medici palace at Florence hangs
on its walls. ,
The most potable pictures in the house
are to be found in the great drawing room,
but critics have never enthused over the
Lytton collection of paintings. The draw
ing room without the pictures is a superb
upuriiuem. At is me most massively ana

In the late Lord Lytton's time this room

curiosities of all sorts, the legitimate
In the neighborhood of Knebworth there
are many places whose historic memories
are thick, chiefly of the days qf good Queen
Bess and Roundhead Cromwell. A few

Jomra-KAOTMANir.'
License Court had another long day yes
terday. It did not complete the day's work
until nearly 7:30. There were a few cases
on the list that consumed a great deal of
time, one applicant in the morning and an
other in the afternoon, taking np in all over
three hours.
The applicants from Homestead, Knox-
ville, Mansfield and Millvale boroughs will
he heard Monday, if possible. This makes
a list of 99 names, and if such cases as were
found yesterday come up again, Court may
sit all night Monday night.
Beltzhoover Borough, which -has no sa
loons now, has five applicants August
Drewes, Thomas W. Drake, Bernard Far
rell, Valentine Koffler and Chris Pfaun
kirch. For all of these witnesses were
brought forward to testify that the plaees
were necessary.
Chartiers borough had a long list in
which but little of interest was developed.
Kev. J. T. F. Dittmar was again a witness,
this time appearing for Julius Gottfried.
The applicants were Eliza Adams, F. Cau-
lcen, Patrick Connors, Ferdinand Detig,
Julius Gottfried, Alfonse Greek, John
Harmsen, Frank Soaks, August Michalow
ski, Adam "Weiser, M. O'Keefc, Joseph
Paul, Jacob Eappel, Andrew Boacb, Charles
Schuck and Conrad Schaffer.
One Applicant From Coraopolis.
Coraopolis, 'with one applicant, took up
more time than all the rest The applicant
is Joseph Alexander, and he has arrayed
against him the borough Council and most
of the people. He mustered four witnesses
and the petition against him had 371
signers. The borough in the prohibition
campaign cast 90 votes for and, 16
against the proposition. The borough
Council sent in a remonstrance in which it
was set forth that the village is a place of
.residence, not a lactory existing there; that
there is no necessity for a saloon; that they
have never had a policeman, and fear that
if a saloon is started there policemen will
be netessarv.
Thomas Bain and George W. Booth, of
Dnquesne, were heard, and the court took a
recess.
Charles Downey, corner of Bailroad
street and Grant avenue, Duquesne, was
the first applicant called after the noon re
cess, and his examination continued for
nearly two hours. His is the banner case
of the present License Court. Not one of
the previous applicants has had such
opposition. Major W. C More
land and & IT. Trent had a
remonstrance against Downey. The latter
has had a license for two years, during
which it was charged that he had com
mitted ttlmnst fivnrv vinlafinn fcnntrn in flii
j law, that he is a man ot intemperate habits,
tnat almost nightly brawls were the rule in
his house. About 25 witnesses, including
many of the prominent citizens of the
borough were called in support of the
charges.
Blamed the Opposition on Politics.
A factional fight in politics seemed to be
at the root of the opposition to Mr. Downey,
as it is charged by his witnesses that four
fifths of the 60 people who had signed the
remonstrance were either defeated candi
dates or they had friends who bad been
defeated for office. Qn the other
hand it was charged that the people who
appeared in behalf of Downey were only
trying to gain his political favor. It seems
that the same fight has been made against
Downey for two years, but he always se
cured his license.
Mr. Steppy, of the M. E. Church of that
place, was one of the witnesses who testified
that they had seen Downey frequently
under the influence of liquor and his place
had a vervbad reputation.
George Fisher, aged 20 years, testified to.
having bought ber in Downey s place.
Thomas said he had frequently notified
Downey not to sell to his father, but the
applicant had continued to sell. A man
named Furlong said his wife had given an
uncle $300 He was a man of intemperate
habits, and, after spending a part of the
money in Downey's place, died of delirium
tremens.
Pillnc Vp Charees Agralnst Downey.
Seward Oliver said Downev was a man of
known intemperate habits, and that one day
this week he appeared in court under the
influence of liquor. Officer "Weisser de
scribed a number or fights he had seen in
and about Downey's place.
Downey, who is a one-armed man, stood
the ordeal he was put through without a
flush of the face, and made a vigorous de
nial of all the charges made against him.
Attorney W. M. Price had a remon
strance against P. J. Howard, of the Town
ship road, near Cochran street, charging
him with selling to men of intemperate
habits.
EJward T. Floyd said he would Keep a
restaurant if he sets a license, which is con
trary to the wishes of the court, which de
sires applicants to be keeping a restaurant
before they get a license.
John Morris has been on the refused list
for four years and admitted having been
charged once with selling without license.
Mclchior Wolf was the last applicant
from Duquesne borough. He is a new man.
- Charged With Non-Residence.
M. A. Woodward appeared against Hugh
Lvnn, 77 Bridge street, Etna, eharging that
he was not a resident, and that all the sign
ers to his petition had been secured upon
tbe representations of a friend of the ap
plicant.
There was a remonstrance against Leonard
Nickious, of Etna borough, charging him
with being a man of intemperate habits and
selling to others of the same kind. He de
nied this.
W. S. McClatchey, Burgess of Esplen
borough, appeared in behalf of Charles M.
Hawkins and John K. Scott.
Mrs. Bridget Seymour, a widow, now
holds the license that was granted her hus
band last year. He died last June. The
Court said it was unnecessary to examine
the half-dozen character witnesses that had
been called.
Elliott, the new borough .adjoining the
Thirty-sixth ward, had two applicants,
James A. Swaney and Henry Schmelz,

the' necessity of two houses.

Erecting a New Borough.

the Quarter Sessions Court a petition for
the incorporation of Turtle Creek borough.
It was directed to be laid before the grand
jury. The new borough is to be created out

been dismissed because it was not properly
advertised.
EXEMPT FROM SERVICE.
Judge IThlte Decides That Witnesses In
Attendance at Court Cannot Be Served
"With Writs Settling a Question of
Inter-State Conrtesy.
Yesterday morning Judge White handed
down an opinion in the case of D. H. Hos
tetter vs N. Taylor et al. In this case a
commissioner was appointed by the Balti
more Court to take testimony in an equity
proceeding in which the plaintiff
claimed to have been swindled to
the extent of about 51,000,000 by a certain
corporation. Tbe witnesses resident in this
city were served with a notice to appear,
but they held that the service was not good
and refused to appear before the commis
sion. A hearing was held before Judges
nite ana juagee 10 test tne validity ot the
service. On this point the opinion of Judge
White says:
The defendants who made this motion set
forth in their affidavit that they were de
fendants in a suit pending in the Circuit
Com t of the city of Baltimore, Md., and are
residents of that city: that a commission has
been appointed by said court to take testi
mony in Pittsburg, and in puisuanoe of
notice from tho Commissioner in Pittsburg
thoy came to this city March 10, 1892, for tno
purpose of attending the taking or testi
mony, and while here and on the day fixed
they were served with tho writ in this
action.
The opinion then states that a witness at
tending court for the trial of a case is privi
leged from arrest or the service of a writ
while at court and also coming and return
ing. jno testimony was taken on the day
set, yet this did not make any difference.
They were citizens of Maryland and it was
not controverted that the Maryland courts
would set aside a service on citizens of
Pennsylvania under similar circumstances.
On the principle of comity the service
should be set aside,
The original motion and rule to quash the
writ was modified to set aside the service.

Attorneys Brown & Lambie filed the suit
of Cora C. Collins, by her next friend, W.
Johnston, against Zephaniah B. Collins.
They were married March 17, 1878, and
