JANUARY TERM OF COURT
Hearing of Petition for and Op.
potting Liquor License Con
tinues Ntftii ly h Day.
BIG FIGHT AGAINST DUBLIN'S HOTEL.
Immediately after the court crier
convened the regular session of the
January courts at 10 o'clock Tues
day morning, Clerk Harris read
the commission of Associate Judge
William II. Bender, and that offi
cial took bis seat. "
The court appointed D. V. Sipea
tipstaff to till a vacancy existing.
The report of VV. Scott Alexan
der, appointed to report on the
mental condition of Alexander
Bernhard, of Bethel township, was
presented. The court said the ap
appointment of his son, Grant
Bernhard, as a committee would
be confirmed unless exceptions be
filed within ten days.
The examining committee of the
Fulton County Bar association re
ported favorably upon the appli
cation of Frank P. Lynch, and in
admitting him to practice in the
courts of Fulton county Judge
Swope administered the customary
oath.
The next business to occupy the
attention of the court was the mat
ter of hearing the petitions for the
granting of liquor licenses and the
remonstrances against the same.
The first petition taken up was
that of George Kexroth for license
at the Fulton House in McCon-
nellsburg. A general remon
strance by the Moral Reform as
sociation was presented by Rev.
J. L. Grove. The petition for
license bore the signatures of
twenty-four electors and the re
monstrance was signed by ninety
two male and femalo adults. The
court said that the number sign
ing the remonstrance would have
had great weight in the case if this
had been an original petition for
license. The fact, howover, that
this was an old established hostelry,
the necessity for license being ap
parent and there being no specific
charges, the remonstrance being
general in character, the license
would be granted.
Petition of Leslie W. Seylur for
license at the Cooper House, in
McConnellsburg. There was al
so a general remonstrance in this
case. For reasons set forth in the
case preceding license was granted
and bond approved.
There was no remonstrance
against the granting of a liquor
licence asked for by Harry Hamil
for the Eagle Hotel at Fort Little
ton, and the same was granted.
When the petition of John E.
Speck, for license for his hotel at
Burnt Cabins, was presented by
Attorney Daniels, it developed
that there was pronounced oppo
sition to the granting of the license.
The applicant was specifically
charged with being intemperate,
selling liquors in quantities of
more than one quart, selling to
minors and to men of known in
temperate habits. M. R. Shaff
ner, Esq., represented the remon
strants. The inquiry into these
charges was exhaustive, and a
large number of witnesses were
called to sustain them. Probably
as many more testified to the tem
perate habits, within the meaning
I of the law, of the applicant, and
that he had conducted his hotel in
an orderly manner. At the con
clusion of the testimony and ad
dresses for and against the peti
tion, the court summed up the
matter with his associates. .They
decided that it would bo safe to
entrust Mr. Speck with a license
for the ensuing year, and it was
accordingly granted.
It was near the close of the day's
session when the petition of James
II. Fields for a license to sell li
quor at Clear Ridge was present
ed. There was a remonstrance
against the granting of the privi
lege of selling intoxicating bever
ages at tnis point, out neiore it
was presented the application was
withdrawn.
At this juncture courtadjourned
until Wednesday at 1) o'clock a. m.

Birthday Surprise. '
It camo about this way: Last
Monday evening Mrs. S. M. Cook j
culled at the home of her neigh-:
lot Mrs. 8. A. Nesbit, and sue- i
nviled in impressing upon the
miud of the latter that they owed
their down-street friends some
calls, and that the matter ought
to be attended to at once. Mrs.
Nesbit hustled around, and in a
few minutes the pair was pro
ceeding down Courthouse Hill.
(Not coasting). Well, their friends
were glad to see them, and Mrs.
Nesoit was enjoying the eveuing,
with the exception, as she said,
Mrs. Cook wanted to be a little
too formal, and the calls were
rather short; and to add to her
surprise, Mrs. Cook suggested
going home at a rither early hour.
It was only a little past 8 o'clock
when Mrs. Cook had succeeded
in returning Mrs. Nesbit to the
latter's door, when upon it being
opened, a parlor full of friends
were there to congratulate Mrs.
Nesbit in having reached another
mile post in the journey of life.
An hour later Miss Netha ser
ved delightful refreshments and
the company remained until near
ly midnight.
