Court matters are' again the topic of conversation at the county seat. At a session of argument court, which began liere in Monday, the matter of licenses came up, ind the court filed a-tmmber of papers re- atiug to bvtels and restaurants, especially liote in Doylestown. The Hcemre of the fountain House here, Daniel McLaughliu iroprietor, was revoke'. This is tbe lead- 'ug hotel in the county seat, a propeity rolued at fully $60,000. The court stated it was fully cognizant of the prominence aud importance of tbe place, but the pro- irietor liad behaved in a manner that iudi- he was either ignorant of the law or iad been extremely reckless in complying with its prtivisious.

The bartender had ieen convicted and fined for violating the aw. and proprietor liad not been vigilant in observing it Therefore the license ould be revoked. Counsel for McLaughlin asked that the license be transferred to the wife of the proprietor, who has a large ecuniary interest in the propeity. The court stated that th suggestion would be considered and temporality dismissed the mailer by c'irecling the attention ol counsel to tbe fuct that in making his application for a renewal of the license the proprietor had upon his petition the names of one or two citizens in the restricted class, which the court said was a grave mistake, as an inn- ought to know better than to place jjmsvlf under obligation lo or in Ultimate relations with persons of this In refeiring to the investigation into the method of conducting the liquor traffic here court said it had no apologies to make and would uphold the law in spite of adverse criticism from so-called respectable-citizens. In the cases of other hotel keepers here he licenses were granted, the couil stating that the evidence bad disclosed the fact that they had endeavored to observe the law.

In the cases of Mrs. Sarah Huber, proprietor rf a wholesale store, and Will.am Suhoner and Frank Billeibeck, proprietois ot restaurants, the licenses were granted with a ing to suppress trade mid to exercise more discrimination in tbe sale to certain customers and with reference lo the liour of closing. The petitioners were also directed to pnty aceitam proportion of the costs of tbe investigation, the amount to be adjudged by the court. The hotel men were advised to abandon the bottle trade unless all snob articles contained tbe name of the vendor blown in the glass, a provision bottlers must comply with. The application of Jacob M.

Winder, for a wholesale bouse in Bristol, was gianted, tbe court stating that under tbe law there was no reason to refuse tbe petition. Licenses were refused Abraham M. Youngkin, Riegelsville, and John Thompson, Wycombe, both applicants for new plitces. The licenses of Jidiu H. Nickel, Bucksville, and Oliver Kimenhour, Harrow hotel, applications for renewal, were held up pending en investigation into alleged violations of tbe law.

With the exception of the cases slated all the old applications for renewal were granted. With regard to tbe Maennerchor Club, of Poyleelown, which bad also been the sub- jecdof investigation, the court stated that love of beer and fame had brought the organization to the verge o( legal inquiry, and it would advise the members to weed out the smugglers and traders in beer anl to also rid the clob of Beit seeking politicians who were a disadvantage to it. On Monday afternoon the cases of John Livezey and William Ash, of Doylestown, the young men convicted of furuishingliquor to minors and to persons of intemperate habits, were taken up. Both bod been sentenced at last term to pay $500 fine and undergo an imprisoument in the county jail for eight mouths, but this sentence, it was contended by their counsel, was wrongfully imposed because (he defendants had not been convicted of the offence under which they bad been sentenced, that of selling wiihout a license. This was found to be the case, and therefore sentence was reoonsid ered.

The court tben pronounced a second sentence, sending the defendants to the county jail for 90 days and imposing a fine of $50 A small army of Italians, eighteen in all, were brought to the county jail on Monday evening by Constable Peters, of TuT.ytown, and Constable Rue, of Bristol, who were accompanied lour deputies.

The strike of tbe Italian trackmen of the P. R. R. apparently culminated on Monday so far as Tullytown is concerned, when eighteen of the ring leaders in ibe movement were sent Doylestown jail in default of $100 bail apiece, charged with conspiracy and breach of the peace. The strike, as.is generally known, commenced Friday morning, and the promoters, most of whom were from Bristol, took up their line of march eastward along the railroad tracks.

Armed with slicks and shovelhandles the baud proceeded as for as Lawrence, N. taking away the tools Irom the tiaokmen who were at woik, and with threats of violence, driving them on before. On Saturday and Monday the same tactics were employed until during Monday forenoon, when Constable Peters, of this borough, with several of his deputies, captured eight of the most disor- deily men, and with the assistance of tbe officers of the railroad company, eighteen of the leading spirits were rounded up. At the hearing before 'Squire Wageuknight, the evidence showed a intimidation and threats were being used to keep those who desired to work from so doing, and Ihe eighteen were therefore committed to jail in default of bail.

They said they were afraid to go while the leaders weie around. EDGELV. Miss Violet Lovett paid a short visit at William Leigh's last week. Miss Lillie Smith, of Philadelphia, was a recent visitor at Mrs. Simpson's.
