Liceuse Court.
License court convened ill the
courthouse at Laporte, on Monday,
tit 2p. in. There were 42 applicants
applying for license; as follows:
30 l'or hotel license; 2 merchant
dealers; 8 eating houses; 1 distillers
license and 1 brewers license, 01
the 42 all were granted except the
one applied for by Iliehard Cum
muskey for the Dushore house
iu the borough of Dushore. This,
however, has not been refused, but
is held for advisement. It appears
that Cumuiuskey is not a resident of
the county and is applying for the
license with the intention of truus
fering it to whoever might lease
the house. The Court was a little
curious about granting a license to
a resident of some adjoining county
and held the matter under advise
ment.
The only remonstrance brought
bofofe the court, was that brought
by the people of Forksvilie against
the granting of a license to Major
Sceley. There were no charges of
violating the liquor law, hence, Mr.
Seeley was granted the necessary
papers to run a wet bouse.
There were a largo number of
ladies of Forksville and Laporte in I
attendance.
WH AT 'ME OOUHT RAID OF THE LIQUOXI JA W
Judge Dunham, after acting upon
the applications for license, that
were not contested, at court, took
occasion to say something in regard
to the laws governing the sale of
intoxicating drinks.
He prefaced remarks, by in- j
forming all persons wbo had applied !
for a lieenfiti,' that the (Joiict expecl
cd to carry out the law relating to!
the granting of license, not only to!
the letter, but iu its spirit, and then j
went onto inform all persons, whoi
received a license fron. the Court, j
that they also bad a duty to perform |
and that it was the duty of the Court
to sea to it, by all the ways provid-j
ed in the statute, that they also com l - j
plied with the laws relative to ILcir >
business under such license. That i
in order to obtain a license the appli- j
cant had to establish, to the satis-!
faction of the Court, that be was a ;
person of good moral character, and '
a person of temperate habits. ThH
because of this character, the law
and the Court presumed that such
parson would obserVe and obey all
laws relative, to tbe sn'.o of intoxicat
ing drinks. And that any violation
of these laws proven to tho Court by
a- conviction of the party or upon a
rule to revoke tbe lioouao of such a
person—that there was no discre
tion left with the Court as the law
provided absolutely that such license
shall be revoked. And he warned
all persons who received a license
that tbe Court would just as fear
lessly and as readily revoke a license
when the law required it, as it would
grant one when tho law required it to
be granted. He then took lip tho
various Acts of Assembly in refer
'eiep J.o tbe licenses and explained
the duties and obligations under
which persons receiving a license
are placed.
First, that under the act of 1534,
it was the duty of every inn-keeper
receiving a license, to keep good'
entertainment for man and horse. |
He must provide for all who apply, i
that arc in condition to be received,
into a respectable house who have !
the means of paying for their enter- I
tainment.
Second. A license to keep nn eat-!
Ing house'or restaurant, only allowed
the person licenKcd to sell domestic \
wines, malt and brewed liquora iu j
quantities of less than one quart;
and a lieense to keep a hotel, inn or
tavern, permitted the sale of any
intoxicating drink* in quantities
loss than one quart; hut that no per
son, whether licensed or not could
sell or furnish, by salo.gift or other
wise, any intoxicating liquors upon
Sunday, or upon any day upon
which elections are held, to any one;
nor to a minor, a person of known
intemperate habits, nor to a person
visibly affected by intoxicating
liquors, at any time, under the sever*
penalty of not b*M than fifty dollar
line and twenty days imprisonment.
He also took occasion to say, thai
by visibly affected, the law meant
that when any person hail Indulged
in driuk so that you eould see by his
appearance that lie waa affected
thereby or was to any extent under
Its ludueuce, the law stepped in and
said no more liquor ntust be furnish
ed him, until such effect had entirely
passed away.
He next took up and read the
various Aot* or Assembly found in
the last edit on of ItHghUiy'
Purdon'* IMgett, pages 050 61 ami

mitting any person to engage in any

or gaming for money, either at card,
dice, or in any other manner, or for
tbe drinks, under severe penalties;
and that sucb an offence would be a
violation of the license law and
would compel the Court to revoke
the license of any person proven to
have violated the provisions of the
statute.
He closed by warning all persons
who received a license tLat they
would be expected and required to
live up to the provisions of the law
faithfully and honestly, and that the
Court would eudeavor to have con
stables and all others perform their,
duties in regards to reporting against
any and all offenders.
Every person interested in scan

The true geutleman or lady will

Obituary.
Jonathan Rogers died suddenly oi
heart disease, February 12, 1896.
lie was 75 years and 2 days old.
His death was unexpected to all his
family, and while in the enjoyment
of comparative good health. Fre
quently during the past year he ex
pressed his apprehension that bo
would pass away suddenly and in all!
probability-was ready for the depar
ture. He was the *on of Jonathan
Rogers who was the third son of
SaanielTlogers, it : d has spent nearly
all the active years of his life in our
county. He was one of the fore
most men in developing its resources.
His father was born in England in
1785 and came to America with his
parents in 1 SOI His oldest brother
had preceeded them and secured a
home for the reception of tho family
near Philadelphia, where they re
mained for a,\ oar. Soou after they
had beeome settled Mr. Rogers went
to Northumberland and contracted
for the laud on the. Loyalsock, now
tbe site of Forksville. Here, he,
with his son, Jonathan, during the
summer and fall of 1801 made a
small clearing and erected a cabin to
which lie o.\p'jetad to bring tho fami
ly the following spring, but they re
turned to the Philadelphia home for
tbe winter.
The family ; in England, had been
engaged in a woolen manufactory,
where they had learned to operate
power looitis—a business at that time
not to any .extent introduced in
America,"The three oldest, sons of
Nartyuel Rogers leased a factory in
Delaware and there successfully en
gaged in business. Doubtless from
the start anticipating a permanent
establishment of the business on the
Loyalsock and therefore arranged
with their father for a site to build a
factory. They commenced operation
In 1S10; Samuel ami William taking
charge of the Loyalsock factory at
that time and Jouathan remaining in
Delaware until 1813 when he closed
out the. busiuess and joined his
brothers on the Loyalsock. Here
the three carried on a vory extensive
business until JBlt> when the entire
plant was Bwept away by the great
llood of tha4 year, lij 1817 Jona
than engaged in the same business
wjth his brother at'Muney, where
after 0 years successful operation
thov ayain suffered the loss of their
proporty; this time by fire. The
brothers then devolved partnership
and Jonathan with his family con
sisting of wife and seven children,
settled at the Forks of Loyalsock
and in IS2G built the woolen factory
now known as the Osier property.
He continued hern till tbo time of
his death in IS:J0, his wife survived
him a short time. Leaving the sub
ject of this sketch an orphan at the
ago of nine years. His first employ
ment was in the factory but as a
change occurred in the ownership
and management of the business he
nought other employment and en
gaged in work at the saw mill and iu
the lumber-woods. As early as
1833 he commenced running on raft*
down the Loyslaock, proving one of
| the most expert in the business he
*as soon put iu uharge as pilot.
This business he regularly folio wed
during rafting season (or over 50
years. After he engaged in business
for himself he located at the splash
dam and operated at that
point tor a short time. In 1853
he purchased Die Lincoln Fall*
property and a year later rcinov ed
jto that place. At this lime Mr.
I Itogers had probably accumulated
i but Utile, but In- had established his
| reputation as a successful lumber -
I man. At flr*t thu prices of t«tauu>
i factored lumber Wt-re as low at It or
j#s per thousand after beiug ruu
down the river, hut the priues soon
increased and the busbies* became
more remunerative. He was then
fully prepared to increase his busi
ness and from a small beginaing be
came one of the largest manufac
turers running the Loyalsock. lie
