This cuds tho case so far as the jury is con
corned.
LICKNSK MATTERS.
Tho license of Vincent Kuprelawicz, of
Shenandoah, was revoked and the rule made
absolute. Judge Iiechtel said two weoks had
been granted and the evidence of a detactive
who is by some pooplo called a county do
tcctive, but who is not a county detective
showed that many porrons were lounged in
fiontof thecouiiterand others standing hack,
awaiting their turn. The defendant testified
that ho had not violated the law, but that
bis wife did it. and that he was at a meeting
when sho did so. Ho also said it was beer
aud it was not boor that was sold and that
there wero eight, ten or fourteen persons
there. His witnesses stated that it was Woiss
beer and soda water. Tho Judge added that.
although tho petition for the liconso stated
that tho building was a three story brick
House with lourteen rooms, it turned out
that Kuprelawicz rented but one room, and
lived five blocks away. Had this been
nown to the court tho licenso would not
avo been grantod in tho first place.
Judge Koch, on hearing the application for
tho transfer of tho licenso hold by the son of
Michael Graham, of Shenandoah, said the
liquor stands wero being worked into the
andsof Hungarians, Lithuanians and I'oles
in spito of the fact that Americans come
intocourt and ask for licenses and ret them
tl Oil tho arounds that the Hunrrariann lnlr.
nil Lithuanians hold all the licenses in the
districts applied for. The court had mad
rulo, Judge Koch said, not to transfer licenses
held by Americans to Hungarians. Lithu
mans and Poles uulcrs for exceptional
reasons.
.ur. uraiiam icsuneu mat nis son was
selling out because ho was working for the
Columbia Ilrewing Company and could make
ioro money thoro. Decision was roserved
by tho court fer tho present.
TWO YEARS FOR FOQAltTY.
Andrews Kogarty pleaded guilty to
chargo of burglary by breaking tho show
window of a shoe store at Mlnersville aud
taking several pairs of shecs. Kogarty
pleadod that ho was drunk at the time aad
didn't know what he was dointr. Judg
Koch gavo rogarty two years.
A TALKATIVE WOMAN.
An amusing case tried beforo Judgo Koch
to-day was ono of assault and battery in
which Mrs. Coyle, of Port Carbon, charged
Bridget Callaghan. Tho defendant persisted
in interrupting the witnesses in spite of
Judge Koch's warniurs to commit her to
jail It shedidn't desist. When Mrs. Calla
ghau was called to the witness stand sh
piovoked a roar of laughter by innoceutly
answering "Yes, sir" when Judge Koch
asked her if she was as quiet before th
Justice as sho had been during the trial I
court. Mrs. Callaghan was fouud guilty.

"Washington, March 14. The govern
ment Is DorfectiiiB its plans to make
movements of troops to the coast de
fenses, orders for which were Issued by
the war department on Friday and
published at that time. A conference
was held here yesterday by representa
tives of the following railroads to ar
range for the tranxportntion of light
artillerymen and their accoutrements:
The Atlantic Coast line, the Southern
railroad, the Seaboard Air line and the
Chesapeake and Ohio. It was stated
that companies of artillerymen consist
ing of about CO men each were to he
transferred from Fortress Monroe to
thu following points: Fort Caswell, on
Cape Fear river, Ga.; to the Tybee,
near Savannah; to Fort Morgan, near
Mobile, and to Sheridan's I'oint, on the
Potomac.
It was stated also that a company
would be moved from Fort Mcltenry,
Baltimore, to some point on the Dela
ware river, near Philadelphia, The
government wanted, It Is declared, the
arrangements perfected tomorrow at
the latest. No bids have been asked
for regarding the transportation of
heavy guns, and it was understood that
tho men wero to be carried to the dif
ferent points simply to man the bat
teries. It Is not known when the con
templated changes will take place.
Secretary Long was at the navy de
partment for a short while yesterday.
He stated late In the afternoon that
there was no news of any nature for
the press, and added In response to a
specific inquiry that nothing had heen
received from the court of lncpulry.
The board of auxiliary cruisers and
number of bureau chiefs met in As
sistant Secretary Hoosevelt s room
during the morning. Kach of the
bureau chiefs present were able to give
the board some information Incident to
the work that may be required to fit
out any ships that might be obtained.
Several of the members of th board
as originally appoin(ied to look Into the
matter are unauie to leave me cuy ar
the present time, so It was determined
that a special board, of which Cap
tain rtodgers will be president, should
he designated to proceed to New York
last night to undertake the work In
hand. An olllce was opened at 2G Court-
lundt street, New York city, this morn
ing, at which owners and agents for
ships are invited to make their pro
posals for turning over to the navy
such vessels us are of value for con
version into war purposes.
The naval olllclals say there will be
no dllllculty experienced m orjtainmg
all vessels that are desired, as there
are hundreds available. The depart
ment has a record of 40 such ships,
of all sizes and classes, which will be
Inspected and examined If their own
ers desire to part with them. A num
ber of these are vessels which have
been constructed under the subsidy net
of congress, and are engaged In car
rying the mnils. The vessels to be ex
amined will include all classes from
liners like the St. Paul to oooan tugs,
which can be of very material service
for a number of purposes,
At the Washington gun factory there
are now In various stages or construc
tion no less than 150 guns of formidable
character, on which work Is being done
night and day, with a view to their
early completion. No new guns are be
ing started, but the entire efforts of the
factory are devoted to flniBhlne those
now under way. A naval otllcer said
there would be enough of them when
finished to constitute a fair armament
for propbably 30 or more auxiliary
cruisers should such a lleet be found
necessary to supplement the regular
warships.
Secretary Long last night made tho
statement that the matter of the pur
chase of the two Brazilian ships had
not been settled.
Meantime warlike preparations nre
going on In various sections of the
country. The Pupont powder works at
Wilmington, Del., are working day and
