LEGAL NEWS.
The Court-room was crowded when
Court was opened. M<>nday afternoon, and
strange to say the majority of the crowd
seemed to be called there by an interest in
the license ca-.es. for when the Court an
nouueed that the two cases held over, and
the two transfers asked for—Vogeley House
in Butler and Forqaer house in Evan«
City—they left the room.
Several members of the bar showed
sign- of having the grippe, bnt the trial
list had it worst, for after the list had
beeu gone over, it was found that 30 of
the 28 cases were either settled or continu
ed and that but eight were lelt (or trial, •
and none of them were ready till next (
day. J
Several Jurymen were excused on cc- ,
count of sickness—principally grippe—in !
their families.
The Court called attention to the noise
made by people going in and out—a nui
sance that a little rubber matting would

John Adams, who was sent to the work- m
bon.se some months ago, for stabbing the ]
Swede who called to see his Fanny, was

in the shape of a reeog. to appear at next
term to answer the supplementary charge ]
entered against him.
The trial list was taken up and up to the J
time of our going to press the list stands as
follows:
J W Kas tor vs The James Squires Co.
vereict for the plaintiff. \
Marg E Davidson et al vs P G Smith, '
verdict for defendant.
J II Thompson vs W H Ziegler, verdict
for plaintiff for boiler and engine. 1

Smith et al; C G Christie et al vs A Greis
bach, et al; Jas Kerr vs Daisy Cnbbison I
et al., (2 cases,) are yet to be tried, and all

Tuesday afternoon Judge Hazen heard ,

county, had never been Indicted, etc. and
Messrs W. S- Braden, Wm. Boyle and Ed.
McCarten testified as to his good charac
ter. Judge Hazen asked Mr. Blinn as to
bis intentions regarding the conducting of
his bar, and bis replies being satisfactory
granted the transfer.
The case of the Willard House was then
taken up. and Mr. Reihing who was sick .
during license court took the stand. He
said be had sold by the bottle but had in- 1
structed his bar keepers to be careful. The
Court asked him regarding certain persons
getting liquor at his bar, advised him to
post himself regarding them and granted
his license to date April Ist. i
The Eitenrailler House case was then 1
called; Mr. Eitenmiller is sick and Mr. Lei
bold, took tbe stand. The Conrt asked bim 1
certain questions regarding tbe conducting
of his bar, and then said that if he would
file a satisfactory paper, he would again
consider the matter. The dispute is in re
gard to the bottle business, it being assert
ed that tbe House used 90 gross of bottles
in less than six months and tbe Court re
ferred to the bottle business as a nuisance
that must be abated. Bis idea is that a
hotel has a right to and should sell by the
quart, or less, to guests, bnt not to people
in tbe neighborhood, unless it is drank on
the premises.

ry injunotion granted to the Water Co.

Doings of Council.
Council met Tuesday evening to con
sider bids on Washington and Howard Stl
sewers, but it was discovered tbat that
part of Washington St. —Jefferson t»> West
—for which bids were advertised was not
in the plot of sewerage. —the sewers fur it
following the alleys,—and therefore the
bids on it were not considered.
The bids on the S-inch Howard St. sewer,
90*) feet in length, with manholes, tlu-hing
tanks, and inspection ohaml>ers complete,
were as follows: A. C. Wilson Jas.
McWade $761, E. F. Hughes #697, James
Graham and B. M. I'olard #1,050, and Ott
Bros. $723. They were referred to the
sewer committee and engineer, and upon
their reporting, the solicitor, president and
secretary were authorized to contract with
Mr. Hughes.
Mr. Forquer presented the report of the
committee on Oak St., which is to remain
as per report of viewers.
Some small matters were referred to the
different committees, with power to act.
Mr. McJunkin presented the petition of
the citizens of Centre Ave., asking that the
street be paved from McKean St. to Ziegler
Ave. and signed by 2.379 of the 3,300 feet
of frontage, or 179 more than is necessary.
The petition was granted, and the ordi
nance, which had been prepared, was read
and enacted.
Mr. Mechling moved that the grade of
Jefferson St. as plotted by the engineer be
adopted; and Mr. Vogel wanted some
changes made, but the motion after some
discussion was carried. The cat at the
McKean St. crossing was changed trom 3
feet to 2 feet, 3 inches, and the grade from
Franklin to McKean will be about 3 feet in
100. Some of the properties along that
street are lower than the street, which will
make the street troublesome to pave.
Mr. Forquer brought up the subject of
repairing ontlying streets, and mentioned
several tbat are in bad shape; so a motion
to appoint a street commissioner at $2 per
day, for such days as he was actually em
ployed by order of the street committee
passed; and one will be appointed and
some work will be done on the streets
named.
Mr. H&ffner reported that the people in
the vicinity of the West Penn depot were
getting up petitions for sewerage, and the
matter was talked over. As yet there is
no main sewer for that part of the town.
Some complaints regarding assessments
for sewerage, where the properties are bnt
imperfectly sewered, were referred to the
sewer committee.
The bond of the borough treasurer in
140,000 was approved.
A petition that Solicitor Campbell bad
prepared, asking the Court to act in the
matter of the Water Co.'s fee, was ap
proved of.

A Superb Summer Schedule.
Tbo coming summer promises to be a
most notable one for sea-shore travel.
Engagements already in advance for hotel
accommodations at Atlantic City and in
quiries received indicate the widespread
popularity of this great resort.
Never before in the history of the City
by-tbe Sea have the railroad facilities been
so perfect as they will be over the l'enn
sylvania's Sea-Shore Lines. Arrange
ments have been pcrtected by which this
popular route will consolidate its two rail
roads (tbo West Jersey and Camden and
Atlantic'! between Philadelphia and At
lantic City, so as to be operated on the
plan of a double track This mode of man
agement will greatly facilitate the hand
ling of the enormens «-ssenger traffic, and
will present the safest ana most novel
system of double lines in the countrj.
The schedule of trains will be greatly
improved over that of previous years, both
in tht number of trains, their equipment,
and speed. A large number of trains wili
run on a time table best adjusted to the
needs of the public. Thev will be equip
ped with comfortable and handsome new
passenger coaches and attractive parlor
Cars drawn by the Pennsylvania Standard
hard coal burning locomotives. The major
ity of the trains will make the run in each
direction in eighty minutes, thus reducing
the time of transit to a minimum consistent
with safety and good management.

SICK PEOPLE want to get
well and are anxious to
secure the most reliable rem
edies. This is important, tor
the physician may be ever so
j competent, but if drugs are
| dispensed that have become in
ert by long standing or not be
ing properly cared lor the re
sult expected cannot be obtain
ed. We have ever tried to
supply our patrons with the
very best and purest drugs the
market affords. Our stock is
new and fresh and every arti
cle is carefully inspected on
reaching our store. Our rap
idly growing trade is the best
evidence that our effort* are
being appreciated. We en
deavor to keep everything that
is likely to be called for, but
if we do not have what your
prescription calls for we will
frankly tell you so and not re
place it with something else,
and will try to secure it for
you in the shortest possible
time. Physicians prescriptions
and sick room requisites a
specialty. Our prices are as
low as consistent with pure
drugs. We do not care to
handle inferior goods at any
price.
