TifTTSTJ . THE SCltANTON TRIBUNE7- WEDNESDAY. MARCH 1G. 1898. WAVERLY "NOVELS" APPEAR IN COURT One Committed tor Contempt and a Second Chatcd Away. CHARLEY LEE'S LICENSE AQAIN Intimated Thnt Slgnnturei Were So cured to tho Application by tlia Uio at Money, and Openly Churned That the Antl-Snloim Element Stoned 8lgners--Tom UurnliiR Applies lor a Mcnntc--AII Applications Ilcnrd nnd Adjournment .Uuile Until t'rldny Waverly, as tiaunl, held tho front und center of the Btaco in the annual license court force. The hcarlnK of the one application from that quiet little borough yesterday had more Interest attached to It than all the rest put to rether. One witness went to Jail for con tempt, another waa dismissed from the stand because he was maklntr euch I. ridiculous exhibition and thero de reloped from the evidence the fact that tho good people of the borough, to put It lightly, go to extremes, In lighting for and ngalnst the granting of the license. On the one side It was broad ly Intimated that signatures to the petition were secured through the use Df money, and on the other It was alleged that men who had signed the petition were stoned on the street by tntl-saloon enthusiasts. The applicant, Charles E. Lee, was represented by Attorney R. II. IIol tate. The remonstrance was repre lentcd by Attorney W. W. Lathrope. the remonstrance alleged that there tvas no necessity for the place, tliat Lee was an unlit person to keep a notel, and that he had permitted gam bling at his place. Judge Edwards itated that tho matter of necessity of (he hotel had been passed upon be fore, nnd the court did not care to kear anything further on It. This taused Mr. Lathrope to confine himself to showing that Leo did not conduct Ihe place properly. "WAS AGAINST LEE. His first witness was Abner Dlx, vho knew a thing or two and wasn't lo be played by any smart aleck law fer. "Do you think Mr. Lee Is a fit person lo conduct a hotel?" asked Mr. La Ihrope, after the preliminary questions Sad been answered. "No, I don't," sharply returned Mr. Dlx. "In my judgment, he ain't no fit Person." "Tell us what you base your opln on on," Interrupted Judge Archbald. Wo want facts." "Well, my judgment is just as good ts anybody else's." "That may be, but what Is there vrong with him. In your opinion?" lourt asked. "One thing, he ain't honest. (Laugh ter.) No, he ain't, nuther. Laugh aB fou mind to, Charley Lee. I know Mat you did. Do you know he bought t load o hay from me for $19. He got tie bamboozled when he was counting Ihe money to me In his bar room and (heated me. Yes, he did. When I got o hum I found one of them air dollar (Ills an' he give mo wad doubled up ke and 'twas counted twice. Only 18 was thar when I got hum and lounted It over myself." I "You signed Mr. Lee's petition, didn't cm?' adked Mr. Lathrope. jes, sir. didn't sign It for Lee, :n. uen ureen, he got me to sign I'harley set 'em up for me and Le used to set 'em up for mo once Lyhlle in the hot weather, you ICharley ain't a bad ....ow that you asked him to take your off the petition afterwards, did not?" 'Tes, but when I went theie Ken treen said it was all right, and Charley flapped me on the back and they put ne off that way, you know." READY FOU HOLGATE. The witness was then turned over br cross-examination. "Mr, Dlx." "Well, I'm ready for you, Mr. Hol late."' "You heard there was some money folng around up there, eh?" "Yes,I did. I hearn how they gave t to a rich man to pass around and mly those rich follows got any of it, !nd the poor trash could sign for noth ng " "And you wanted some of that money hat was going around?" "Yes, I did." "And thaVs the reason you wanted "our name taken off?" At this Juncture Judge Edwards in errupted and told tne attorneys not 0 ask the witness any more questions. Such an exhibition as this in a court t justice " but in charity tho judge efralned from finishing his comment. Watson H. Stone, the next witness, aw Lee nnd some of his customers baking dice for the drinks at the bar n one occasion. Leslie Tyler, an 18-year-old boy, tes Ifled that he played pool in Lee's lace, and had to pay for tho game rhen he was the loser. "Isn't that customary?" Judge Ed mrds remarked. "It may be, but it is gambling, I ontend," replied Mr. Lathrope. Edward Everett and A. P. Decker, tvo other witnesses subpoenaed by the fmonstrants, did not answer when heir names were called, and an at tchment was Issued for them. While waiting for them the other side flbmltted some character testimony. tev. A. I). Urowe, pastor of the Waver f Baptist church, when asked If he nought Charles E. Lee was a fit per on to conduct a hotel, answered In a uarded way: "As lit as any man as ir aS I know." On cross-examination e said he had signed the remonstrance gainst the place, and then qualified Is answer as to Lee's fitness by ex lalnlng that he meant that Lee was cod enough for that kind of business, le knew nothing ngalnst Mr. Lee'B haracter. ' NOT A DIFFICULT TASK. George E. Stevenson thought Mr. Lee Iflt person In every respect to conduct 1 hotel. Mr. Lathrope asked the wit fess concerning the applicant's repu ation In the community for morality, ilr. Holgate raised the point that this Vaa not cross-examination and further hid that in an antagonistic community t is not very difficult to manufacture t bad character for a man. Edward Everlll, one of the witnesses br whom an attachment had been Is ued, strolled Into court at this Junct ire and Mr. Lathrope called him up to testify. "Mr. Lathropo, you oi?ht not bring nis man here," eald Judge Archbald, as Everlll approached tho bench. "This man Is drunk." "Your hlc Honor, you do mo a wrong," spoke up Everlll, with an air of injured Innocence. The Judgo did him further V'wrong" by committing him for contempt. He will serve twenty-four hours nnd pay a fine of $10. When Sheriff Pryor had escorted the tottering Everlll out of court, 'Squire E. J, Feeley enmo up and gave testi mony In favor of tho application. Mr. Leo was a fit man to run a hotel, the 'squire thought, and as to the gambling he know personally that the losers were never required to pay for the drinks, or In other words, It was not obligatory. He also know that Mr. Leo had pro hibited betting on pool gnmes. A. F. Decker, the other absent wit ness for tho remonstrants, came In about this time and was called to tell why he had ordered his name erased from Lee's petition. "What bearing has that on the case?" asked Mr. Holgate. "It will show how difficult It Is for an appllcnnt to get twelve signers to his petition in Waverly," Mr. Lathrope replied. "If you want to go Into that," re marked Mr. Holgate, "I can show that they havo stoned people up there for signing the petition." The testimony was not desired by the court. Andrew Mahoney, the last witness called by the remonstrants, said he wasn't qualified to Judgo whether or not Lee was a fit man to keep a hotel. "My Judgment ain't no good," said Mahoney. He was excused. THE WALSH LICENSE. Attorney W. J. Hand presented the opposition of the First Presbyterian church to the granting of a wholesale license to E. J. Walsh at the corner of Washington nnd Lackawanna avenues. There was no objection to Mr. Walsh, he said, but the sentiment of a Chris tian community is against locating n liquor houso In such close proximity to a church. Hon. C. P. O'Mnlley, Joseph O'Brien and George S. Horn spoke In favor of the granting of the license. They showed that Mr. Walsh had been grant ed a transer to this place and on the strength of It had entered Into a five year lease and spent nearly $3,000 In remodeling the stote. The opposition of the church developed and the trans fer on some technical ground was re voked. It was nlso pointed out that the church Intends to move from its present location In the near future, hav ing given an option on the property to C. P. Davidson. It was vouched that Mr. Walsh would use only the front door, which fronts on Lackawanna ave nue; that there would be no drinking on the premises and that he would continue his present custom of closing up at 7 o'clock in the evening. Remonstrances were presented against the applications of Michael Sewak and Andrew SInionlak, of WInton, by At torney John F, Murphy, representing the Gieek and Polish Catholic churches. Dx-Judgo Stanton was making an earnest plea for his man Slmoniak, lay ing great stress upon the fact that he had a large, sustaining petition. Judge Archbald looked up from a photograph of Slmonlak's dwelling. In which he contemplates keeping the hotel, nnd re marked: "It might be better If he had a little more house and a little less petition." Undaunted, the attorney persisted In his arguments. LITTLE TOO SMALL. "Why, judge, look at the size of the house," remarked Judge Archbald, and then seeing that It was all day with his petition, Judge Stanton allowed a broad smile to steal over his erstwhile serious countenance and he slowly re sumed his seat. When the application of Thomas J. Durning, of 1624 Luzerne fctreet, was called, Judge Edwards, with some feel ing, asked: "How dare Tom Durning come Into this court and ask for a license?" "I presume he has as much right as any other man, he has fourteen sign ers," said Mr. Sando, his attorney. "Well, he would need fourteen hun dred signers before I would grant him a license," remaiked tho Judge. George Havlcz. of 1024 West Lacka wanna avenue, met with exceptions in the shape of charges preferred by Wil liam Olch'efskl, one of his own coun trymen. The accuser and John Kopet slti, testified that they bought liquor there on Sunday and that gambling was permitted there Sundays and week days. John J. Murphy, attorney for the applicant, brought out the fact that Olchefskl had been nrrested for com mitting assault and battel y, with criminal intent on Savicz' wife and then Mr. Baylor, attorney for Olchef skl brought out the fact that this ar rest was subsequent to one which Sav icz mado to recover a month's pav whirh he alleged he lost in gambling in Savicz' place. Attorneys F. P. Ilohan and P. W. Stoke3 appeared for the application of, Jume3 MfGovern. of the McGovcrn Bros., Lackawanna avenue, who wants to conduct a re&taurant In the rear end of the Williams building, on Linden street, opposite the peptonic?. Mr. Ho ban, In speaking of th'e necessity of the pluce, said among other things that It was In the heart of tho news paper district, and would be a great convenience to tho men In that busi ness. THE TRAVER CRUSADE. That the Traver crusade Is having its effect was evidenced by the presenta tion of five Nineteenth ward applica tions that had been filed too late. They wer not considered. When the application o' William II. Moyer for a hotel license for a new housf he is building on Sar.ders-or. street, Throop, was presented by Mr. Horn, Mr. Soper claimed the attention of court and saying lu represented a number of citizens of Throop, objected to the granting of the license on the ground that there wero enough hotels theie alieady. Mr. Horn and Mr. New oomb, attorneys for Max Swartz, an other Throop applicant, alleged that Mr. Soper represented opposition hotel keepeis and demanded that he should name his clients. Court Insisted on Mr. Sopsr making answer and he reluct antly admitted that he was attorney for F. C, Pllger and Domlnlck .Corcoran, two present hotelkeepers at Throop corners, where Moyer intends to locate. All the remonstrances noted as hav ing 'been filed from time to time, weie ptesented and heard. When the list had been finished at 4 o'clock p. m., court heard some further arguments on the brewery license ques tion told of at length yesterday, Tho main question Is whether or not there shall bo one license Issued for all the combine's brewerlea or a separate li cense for each. There is also Just a possibility that the combine may be called upon to show under what law It claims the right to conduct inoro than one brewery in a county. Court adjourned until Friday morn ing. V. Itobittsou's Hons' Bock Beer on tap In all hotels and res taurants Thursday. ' . BOTH COUNCILS WERE IN SESSION Contractors and the City Involved in .. Some Disputed Accounts. THE APPR0PKIATI0NS FOR 1898 Reported and Referred to tho City Clerk for rrlniliig.. Knotty Point Halted by President Sanderson ou tho Contract Stroot Cleaning Otdl nuueo Jinny fllcnsnrei Passed Third Rending in Lower Branch. To Meet Agniu Tuesday Nlghl. Both branches of council met in ad journed sessions last night. A half hour or more of the session of the Belect branch was consumed In reading and approving eighteen pages of minutes of previous meetings. Attorney R. A. Zimmerman, repre senting Peter Stlpp, contractor, waa permitted to make a statement in ref erence to some complicated claims and accounts among his client, P. T. Mulli gan, the Hunt & Connell company and the city In connection with Mulligan's Columbia avenuo sewer contract. The Hunt & Connell company, it appears, has on file with the city controller bills against the contractor amounting to $3,167 for money nnd materials furn ished on the contract. Stlpp's claim Is $136 for brick. The assertion Is made by the Stlpp people that while the Hunt & Connell bills exceed the amount duo- Mulligan from the city, the bills are lncorrectnnd excessive to the amount of several hundred dollnis, und if cor rected would leave a sufficient balance In the hand3 of the controller to pay Stlpp. Two resolutions in connection with the contioversy had been Introduced. One provided for the payment of $13G to Stlpp, the other permitted the pnrtl.es to contest their claims befote tho city solicitor, his verdict to guide councils In the matter. Mr. Roche offered a motion refer ring the dispute to the city controller, the city solicitor and all the parties Interested for an agreement If possible. The resolution was adopted after Mr. Lansing, of tho judicial y committee, had repoited the views of tho control ler and solicitor on the matter. RECEIVED WITHOUT DEBATE. The 1S9S appropriation ordinance was reported by tho joint estimates com mittee through Mr. Chittenden. It was received without debate or com ment and ordered printed. Mr. Finn Introduced a resolution which was ndopted and hurried Into the lower branch for concurrence di recting the city clerk to advertise the petition and names of tho petitioners for a pavement on Providence road, and tforth Main avenue from Court street to the city line. This Is one of the legal steps necessary In the final provisions, for the extensive improve ment. A knotty point was raised by Presi dent Sanderson when on second reading was called the common council oidl nance amended in select council provid ing for the cleaning of paved streets by contract. President Sanderson rele gated the chair' to Mr. Chlttendon and suggested an amendment for the pro tection of property owners on Jefferson and North Washington avenues who pay the street department a stipulated share of the expense of keeping sweep ers permanently on certain paved sec tions of those .thoroughfares. If pave ments were to be cleaned by contract, President Sanderson thought It might be Impossible to continue the private system unles-p some provision in the premises was Incorporated in the ordi nance under discussion. Mr. Manley sought to outline the value of the measure by citing that $11, 000 for street cleaning was appropriat ed In 1S97, $1S,000 was asked for 1S9S and contractois were ready to guaran tee the work for about the same as the cost to the city in 1S97 and with more blocks to clean. President Sanderson contended that he had not objected to the principle of tho ordinance. MR. ROCHE'S VIEW.S. It was suggested by Mr. Roche that .the doubts In relation to the present arrangement between Hip street de partment and propet ty owners were re moved by tho clause in the ordinance to the e'fect that bids should be re ceivtd and the contract awarded by tho street commissioner according to specifications, schedules, etc., propared bv him. Mr. Lansing thought the ordinance, should provide for tho arrangement now existing between tho street de partment and property owners. Further consideration of the matter was, on motion of President Sanderson, postponed until the next meeting. The mayor's nomination of Edward Peth'rlck as additional permanent mnn for Columbia Hose company was con firmed The amended select council ordinance piovldlng for sidewalks, curblrg and grading on the east bide of Clay avenue between Myrtle and Price streets pass ed third reading. One negative voto was recorded against the final passage of a common ci uncll ordinance providing for an ad ditional electric light In he Second ward. President Sanderson voted ngalnst it and said he would vote against any other light ordinances that might bo called up as tho city wub al S ANNOUNCEMENT, i 5 oooooooo Sri If The Public is Cordially Invited to the S $ Opening of the si 1 High Art and Misfit I li Clothing Parlors i 1 ' S ATI Lackawanna Avenue, on Wednes- S' sr J$ day, flarch 16. & oooooooo c!

Among Bevoral concurrent resolutions approved one directs tho street com missioner to fence in Luzerne street between Ninth and Meridian streets, the thoroughfare being in a dangerous condition at that point. Tlie meeting adjourned to meet next Tuesday night as did common coun cil. Common council had a lengthy and busy session nnd strange to say there was not even the semblance of a tpeech although Mr. Flanaghan and all tho other orators of the body wero In at tendance. Tho ordinance establishing the "big No. 19 sewer district extending from th'e river back to Keysor valley and taking In the Sixth, Eighteenth, Fif teenth and part of the Fifth nnd Twenty-first wards, passed third and final readings, ns did also Its sequel tho or dinance providing for the construction of a sewer system, which will be as a sort of skeleton to tho district. There wns no oomment or opposition, but some of the members voted "aye" In a half-hearted manner. The ordinance providing for a main sewer on North Main avenue, Provi dence road and Phllo street; the ordi nance providing for tho opening of n sixty-foot street from the southerly end of Spruce street bridge to Prospect avenue; the ordinance providing for the creation of the office of plumbing Inspector; the ordinance providing for sidewalks on Washburn street between Main avenue and Tenth street, also passed third reading. PASSED TWO READINGS. The following ordinances passed first ar.d second readings: Providing for the transfer of $30 from the unexpended balance of the appropriation for th'e put chase of the Columbia's chemical wagon to the appropriation for Fifth ward street repairs; providing for flag stone sidewalks on West Linden street. Clay nvenuo, between Myrtle and Pine streets; providing for a fire alarm box at the corner of Rockwell place nnd Gilbert street. There was pursed on third reading or dinances providing for electric lights at the corner of Washington avenue nnd Delawaie street, Cnpoupe avenue and Poplar street, Hyde Park avenue and Sndlo court, Jackson street and Morris court. Linden street and Oakford court and Raymond court, between Spruce and Linden btreets. On first and second reading ordinanc es were passed for electric lights at the following places: Dougherty street and Sumner avenue; Reese street, in front of the German Lutheran church; Charles street, near tho McLaughlin property; corner of Rockwell place and Gilbert street; corner of Bloom ave nuo and Cayuga street. A ret-olutlon was adopted on motion of Mr. Reagan directing the street com missioner to fence In Luzerne street, 'between Ninth and Meridian, streets, the roadway being in a dangerous con dition. MINING NOTES. Coxo Bros. Si Co. havo leased part of the old abandoned collieries recently oper ated by Lindermann & Skeer in the lower part of Luzerne county. Pumps are being placed to drain tho mines. The Lehigh Valley Coal company has decided to erect a new breaker at Mid vale, near Wllkes-Barre, in placo of the old Ilorton, which will bo torn down. Work was on Friday suspended indefi nitely. A largo foice of men will be put to work on tho now breaker and It will be built as rapidly as possible. The coal from tho old 1'ort Bowkley mine will be transferred to the new breaker, which will glvu employment to many more thun tho old Horton. Tho South Wilkes-Barro shaft of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barro Coal company, which has not been !n good shape since the explosion and flro of a. year ur more ago, Is neaily restored to a condition to lesumo former shipments. The gas is nearly all cleared out and the gangways and airways arc opened in goud shape. Two slopes are being sunk, one in the .lllllman and tho other In the Baltimore seams. This opens new coal areas, fo that the production can be kept up for some t.me. They will be ready for full work In about two months. Tho Delaware and Hudson Canal com pany has decided to open up a mli.o on the hillside back of Larksvllle, Luzerne toiinty, und with this In view has leased lots from Churles Lawson, ten lots from William Jactmlsh und twelve from Ilut llson Xesbitt. Tho company has been making investigations for somo time and after securing possession of the pmperty had a suivey made. The vein which has been found is s'xteen feet In thickness. Tho new opening will produce &J0 tons dally und will give employment to a huge number of hands. Tho coal can be mined veiy cheaply, as all expenso of pumping machinery will be avoided. Tho new piano will run up the mountain side from a point opposite tho Boston colliery. From the top of tho pluno they will also build a railroad on tho sldo of the mountain and when the piano und railroad aro com pleted tho coal will bo brought from the new opening to tho Boston breaker, where it will be prepared for market. - The leeent tapping of the old and aban. donod Buck Mountain colliery by Coxo Bros. & Co. has developed that In six sep uiate basins there still remains to be mined more than 20,210,000 tuns of good coul. The water lias been drained trom tho old workings through a tunnel a mllo and a half long, the mouth of it biling In the Laurjtown valley nnd the water empties into the Lehigh river. The coal from seeral of tha lifts will be taken through tills tunnel and then hoisted over a plane l.DOO feet In length, nnd by a thirty-ton mlno lokie huuled to tho break er, to and one. half miles distant, fifty to sixty cars in a trip being whirled that d.stance at the rute of twenty miles an hour. The old deserted village of Buck Mountain Is ussuming new llfo again, and many new blocks of houses are being erected on tho foundations of those that were torn down a few years ago nnd moved to a mining patch In Schuylkill county. In a month or to probably WO men and boys will find woik at this colliery. Now for Carpets Custom and tradition has designated St. Patrick Day as the Annual Opening of the Carpet Season.
