About fifty ladies occupied seats within the bar. Among them were the presi dent, ex-president and other officers of the Y. W C. T. U., with a number of mem bers. Members of the W C, T. U. and representatives of the Law aud Order {So ciety were also present. The ladies took great interest in the proceedings. Among the gentlemen present were: Revs. C, A. Grice, W. L. S. Murray, Harvey W. Ewing and T. Gardner Littell, and John Massey, superintendent o." the Associated Charities. The chief justice was inclined to spend litrtle time over applications that had been previously turned down. New applicants had to bring strong evidence of the ne cessity of the additional saloons in their neighborhood and of their own good repu tation and respectability. In the absence of W. 8. Prickett, Esq., counsel for the Law and Order Society, who Is very ill with typhoid favor, Horace G, Knowles represented the society aud the rernon strato rs. The first caso taken up was that of John A. North whose saloon is at 10 East Second street. It was a reapplication and there was no remonstrance. John McCaffrey of 303 East Fourth street was not objected to. application. George F, Robinson of No. 100 West Tenth street is a member of the Liquor Dealers' Association and Walter H. Hayes represent«! him. There are no specific remonstrance, but there was already a large number of saloons in the neighbor hood. This application was passed. Against William Barefordof Third and Market streets, who is a member of the Liquor Dealers' Association, there was no remonstrance. Neither was there against Sarah E, Legg, whoso saloon is at 721 Market street. The application of C. J. H. Beckett of 108 West Seventh street was for a whole sale license. lie has a retail license. There were no remonstrances, but the court remarked that a retail license was probably the least pernicious. F. W. Heiss, 6th and Walnut streets, was represented by L. C. Vandegrlft, who staled that Mr. Ileiss was worth $30, 000 or $40,000 and was a very reputable man. They had never been any objection against him. His was a re No remonstrances had against James A. Kelly of Shipley streets. The above were all re a been filed Tenth and pplications and the applicants are generally considered respectable and reputable parties Joseph Soli, Eighth and Bottunwood streets, lias been refused three times. A remonstrance had been filed and a map showing tho number of saloons in ids vicinity. Two remonstrances stood against tiie application of John Kopp of 218 Orange street, There was a remonstrance against George Sharp of 609 Pine street. His application had been refused at the May term of court. He sold to detectives ami allow«! the liquor to be carri«i away. Walter Hayes, Esq,, the applicant's counsel, said that he was incapacitated from doing manual labor from rheunia tism, contracted under Judge Wales dur ing tiie war. There was no saloon within eight squares of his place. The court did not desire to hear any witnesses. The license for 509 Tatnall street, which John F. Gallagher now applied fur, had been previously turned down under another name. Michael Miiliiu's application fora saloon at Front and Franklin sts., one. r retail license. was a new He applied for both a tavern and a Mr. Vandegrift repre sented him aud said that there was no ob jection to the tavorn license. There was considerable discussion betw«m the coun sel and court over this case, in the midst of which Associate Judge Houston ap peared. and after cordially greeting ids associates and bowing to the gentlemen within tiie bar. took his seat. Alexander Wallington's application was turned down at the last term of court. Mr. Knowles read a remonstrance saying that there was a new school house oppo site tiie proposed saloon and that there had been better order in the hood since the saloon had been Mr. Knowles also read the newspaper port, of the evidence against the saloon at the May term of court. Mr. Hayes, sei for the applicant said that the only charge against the saloon was that a pub lic school was 1 «ling erected near it. said that not half of the signers of the petition were residents of the school dis trict, and read a petition from citizens of New Castle asking that tho license be granted Thomas H. Russell's application fora saloon at Lancaster avenue and Monroe street was a new one. resented the applicant, plaee had once boon licensed, and that the applicant was an able and competent man. A remonstrance had been filed,also a map showing that there were eight saloons in tiie locality. The roraonstrators held that there was no necessity for this loon. The application had been turned down at the last term, although Russell did not apply neighbor closed. re coun He W. T. Lynam rep lie sai l that the William S Martin, of Prent and Walnut streets, wlioie liai been pre viously refused, was represented by W. T. Smithers, who cail«l Mr. Martin and obtained some letters from him which ho requested t lie court to read. This man has been before the Municipal Court twice for violating the liquor laws. The u< t case was that of Brier!v «V Whit craft of 199 East Water street. This notorious place was refused a license at the last term of court. ■The proprie tors have been convicted of selling liquor illegally, and tiie place is a resort for dis reputable p«>ple. Mayor Harrington ad dressed tiie court and said that tiie sec tion of tiie city in which this saloon was situated gave the policetlie most trouble. This firm have been selling without a license. If the court granted a license to this place and io Barton cf the Novelty Theatre it would set hack all that the: administration is trying to do for the benefit of the city. The firm have been selling all ah mg but there was no proof available. City Solicitor Bali stated that they were convicted of selling on Sunday before the May term of court. This ap plication certainly went down. James M. Barton, proprietor of tiie disreputable Novelty Theatre, who wanted to open a saloon at 105 Water street, was the next. Mayor Harrington said iu regard to this place, that uud> r the law. he wem compelled to grant a license for the theatre. He had no option but if the court granted this liquor license it would than thirty -eig keep the peace. William T. Smithers, who represented the applicant, made a lame excuse for him which evidently had no weight whatever with the court, Bernard McCullough of 800 Church street was defended by Mr. Smithers. who stated that he had been unfortunately turned ■down at the last term of court, and then related a long and harrowing story about the applicant's children. H. 11. Ward, Lsq., stated that the applicant was a t a k • ' more ht officers u> member of the Liquor Dealers' Asseois tion and had been turned down on account of the number of saloons in the locality. As Mr. Knowles arose to make some re mark Mr. Smithers demanded: ''What right has this man to appear in court ; what right has he to talk ; he has not been admitted to the bar." The chief justice replied; "We will hear anyone in a matter of this kind. Mr. Knowles was sent by Mr Prickett who is a member of (he bar, and we agreed that if he showed a good reason why a license should not be granted we would hear it. I will avail myself of all means of information." Alice Tucker of Cedar and Brown streets came up for the fifth time. It probably went down again. The application of James A. Dutton of Delaware City caused no discussion. Hayes and Ward represented Patrick Haney of Seventh avenue and Duncan street. Mr. Hayes stated that Haney once had a license, but was turned down at the last November term, refused in February and May. never been proved that he had violated the law. There was no saloon within throe-fourths of a mile of his place. The application of John Hession of 2nd and Van Buren streets was a new sue. W. T. Lynam, who represented him, said that he had bsen emnloyed by the J. Mor ton Poole Company for the past twenty yejira. He was a reputable, reliable man. A petition with 140 signers was presented in favor of granting the licence. The re moustrants claimed that the saloon was not necessary; that it would only be add ing one more to the large number in the city. It was also It had It was claimed that Bernard Farren of Heald and Apple Streets wan'd violator of tho law previous to the May term. There wore seven saloons in his locality, three of which had been turned down at the last term. Elam Page of Port Penn was repre sented by J. Frank Biggs. There wore two grounds to tho remonstrance against him : one for violating the law and one for keeping a disorderly house. He was turned down last term and the testimony against him then was related by Judge Houston, who recollected the case, George Aliele, Jr., of Eleventh and Church streets, was objected to on ac count of being at tho terminus of a street railway. Judge Houston related this case also. Samuel McCormack of tiie Rbbttt House, was represented by "Wiiiard Hall Porter. Mr. Knowles called William Canby, president of tiie City Passenger Railroad Company, who testified that liiere was a watting room in the Ebbitt House, which was at one of tiie ter minai points of tho railroad company's line, which was used principally by ladies. If the house proved to be a disorderly one it would be very objectionable, but if it was kept like the Clayton House there Would be no ob jection. Mr. Porter said that he had im plicit confidence In tho applicant. A pe tition from 100 citizens of the Seventh ward in favorof tho license,was presented ; also a number of recommendatory letters, one of them from Ex Mayor Joint K. Wales. The chief justice remembered that the applicant previously had a bad reputation and was evidently opposed to him. The application of William H. Guthrie of Glasgow was met with a remonstrance giving seven reasons. John C. Rodney stated that .Guthrie had kept the house for many years. The road commissioners, the assessors an 4 collectors met there. The bouse had been licensed but was turned down at tho lust term, when Mr. Guthrie being sick, H. L. Dayett, ids son-in-law, made the application. A letter from tho road commissioners was filed witli the recommendatory petition. There was no hotel wit bin five miles of the place. The remonstrance stated among other objections that the law had been vio lated. Dr. William T. Skinner lived close to this house: he testified that he had fre quently seen persons intoxicated before the license was refused. Liquor had been sold to a minor, a boy who lived with him: the boy said lie bought the liquor of Guthrie. It was a common complaint that entertainment was refused to per sons who had applied. John P, Thorington, a youth between 19 and 20, testified to buying liquor at Guthrie's, taking it away and getting intoxicated on it. Walter Ward, a minor, swore to the same facts regarding himself. Mr. Rod ney said that it was a matter that appeals to tho discretion of tiie court. It did not appear that Mr. Guthrie know t liât these persons were minors, Tiie court did not desire to hear any testimony fur the applicant. John F, Bradley of 1712 Pennsylvania avenue was turned down in May for vio lating the law. Mr. Ward tried to save him tins time, saying that there was no other place within a half mile. Mr. Knowles read the newspaper report of tiie evidence against the place at tho last term of court. This was tho last license case heard. Several were probably decided by the court without hearing remonstrances. A civil case on the serving of a writ was argued by Messrs. Lore aud Spruauce. Tiie court decided that tiie writ had not been properly served ami Mr. Spruance at once discon tinued the case. On motion of Mr. Spru a ice John C. Patterson Jr., was admitted to the bar, he having passed » very satis factory examination. The exceptions in the ease of the mechanics' liens against the property of Judge Cummins on Adams street was withdrawn and judgment ren dered in favor of the plaintiff in all the cases. Court then adjourn«! until the Novem ber term. LADIES' TENNIS TOURNAME NT The Itiu'quel I« lleing 1*1 aye«! nt the Delaware I'lehl C'lub (irunnUs.

A curious political incident, worth men tioning, is the circulation in New York city for Democratic signatures of a me morial to the President, asking him to come out with an endorsement of Gov ernor Hill. The paper is preceded by Mr. Hill's famous declaration, "1 am a Dem ocrât," and then proceeds in thiswise: "To Grover Cleveland, President of the United States and Presidential candidate of the Democratic party, Washington, D. C. : We, the undersigned Democrats, de sirous alike of tho triumph of Demo cratic principles in the national and State issues now joined, respectfully unite in calling your attention to the efforts made to defeat the regularly nominated candidate of the Democratic party, David B. Hill, by a faction which falsely arrogates to itself the claim of your special friendship. The injury to the Democratic cause which this faction can accomplish depends largely upon your permission, unrebuked, of its constant assertions that 'you are better than your party, and that 'pri vately you do not favor the election of Governor Hill.' "We beg you not to delay to make public your emphatic denunciation of the assertions and actions of this undemo cratic faction of the parly and, properly rebuking it, so heartily to endorse Gov ernor Hill's candidacy as to render abor tive the efforts to divide the Democracy of the state of New York, by falsely trading on your name." PURSUING A FIEND. A Meeting to Raise Means To-night—Ar resting a Wilmington Mulatto. The brntal mulatto, James Mills, who made a violent assault on little Bertie Howard of Tredyffrin, Chester county, Pa., six days ago,has not yet been caught. Tho people of t hat community will hold a meeting to-night to raise means with which to pursue the fiend. On Monday afternoon a strange colored man answer ing the description of Mills was noticed loitering about the woods of James Hyatt, near Devon station, Chester county, and with tho assistance of residents, Constable Hall, of Tredyffrin, succeeded in capturing him. He was taken to Paali, where he was found not to be the man wanted. He gave his address as Wil mington, Del., and succeeded' in proving ids identity, after which he was released. The girl was better yesterday, but she is still extremely nervous, and it will be a long time before she fully recovers from lier terrible experience of Thursday night. Many mothers in Tredyffrin, Willistown, Paoli, DuBryn Mawr, the Warren Shops, the Valley Store Ball Shops and Uowel town are afraid to let their children go to school, as they believe that Mills is still lurking in the neighborhood. He is believed to be heavily armed, as Mr. Beck says ho had two revolvers; and it is thought ho is likely to show fight if anyone attempts to arrest him single handed. The Water Department. The regular meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners was held last even ing. The treasurer reported a balance in bunk of $48,250.58, divided as follows: Current expenses, $34,172.89; bonds and interest, $14,077.69. reeled to be drawn in favor of the pay roll amounting to $843.74.
