1 The announefnent of the above list
to the public was Intended by the citi
zens committee merely to let the pub
lic know who have government liqttor
licenses for the sale of whiskey and
not to place before the community in
a wrong light any persons who have
oleomargarine licenses. A conference
of a number of citizens was held sev
eral nights ago. It was then deter
mined to inatigu? ate a movement tor
better government -and for more spe
SSSeTaa paes through, different
municipal channels. It :is. the inten-
SoBlhis citizens movement: to
cific results , irom me iax
stitute - an aggressive campaign ana
k niiVi?-.Qir.Ti of th names of the
liquor license holders is the first step
in the matter, -
Mr. Jurgen Harr requested The Dis
patch to state that he and his brother
have United.Stats license to sell malt
liquors and not whiskey f that they
sell "near-beer" and riot whiskey.
For Mr. Walter C. Boesch the stJte
ment is cheerfully made that the '"li
cense held by him is merejy for the
sale of near-beer. Mr. Boesch gays
be simply pays $20 per year for his
license and that it permits mm to sen
only near-beer and he strictly con
forms to the privilege anowea.

interesting Argument in the "Gregg
: $25,000 Damage Suit Against ' the
. City , and Mr. James F. .Woofvin
Made a Co-Defendant Several ion
Suits and a Number of Continuances
Very Little Actual Work DoneTo
day" in the Superior Court, y i ;
There was very little doing in : the
Superior, Court this morning, as the
continuance of the case of Sloan i
bweeney vs. Etta Hart, et al, fplloW
ing the v continuance Saturday jf ithe
suit of X A. Burriss vs. the CJty"bt
Wilmington, knocked sky high expec
tations and counsel appeared unpre
pared to try anything this morning.
Hence, a recess Was taken shortly af
ter; noon until 2:30 o'clock this after
noon. Several important matters, were,
however, considered this morning. One
ofcbief, interest was the big damage
action brought by Mrs. Susan M.
Gregg, administratrix, against fthe
City Of Wilmington.
This case was set' for trial for today,
but when reached ex-Ma vor A G.
Ricaud made a special annearance for
Mr. James P. Woolvin- asking that his
client be eliminated from the case.
He stated that the complaint did noti
make Mr. Woolvin a party-defendant, !
and cited no cause of action agaiifst
him, but that City Attorney Herbert
McClammy ip. his" answer endeavored
to bring Mr Woolvin into the case,
claiming that he (Woolvin) was pri
marily responsible, if - there was any
responsibility. He asked that Mr.
Woolvin be eliminated from the Isuit,
arid then, after the termination of the
case, the . city could sue Mr. . Woolvin
if it saw fit. ' ' There was' extensive
argument iu the 'matter. City Attorney
Herbert MliClamniy cbnterititng that
Mr. : WQolpii' had been , brdiight into
court, the suit-havirig been originally
SijBd aga:ast hint arid: the. pity of Wil
njineton. ami while the comhlaintnniv
set up datringps against the Oiiy Ipf
wiJmngtrm, yet no Won: suit hadTefeV
been taken as to M r. Woolvin
George Rountree, Esq., stated' to the
court that the'' plaintiff did : not - wish
the case delayed ,'. !as' It was one; of im
portance to herY 'that his side had a
right to elect which party the city
or Mr. Woolvin it would sue and that
in deference to ! the" wishes of Mrs.
Gregg they had eliminated Mr. Wool
vin from the suit. - - :
Judge Cooke, however, held that as
Mr. Woolvin had been brought into
court by summons, that he was still
lin "Ourt and the City of Wilmington
had a right to make-hira a co'defend
ant. - ! ,
Mr. Ricaud protested strenuously
and cited several cases, but the .court
held against . him. Then Mr. Ricaud
asked for ample time in which, to file
.an answer to the complaint, or an an
swer to the answer filed by the City
of Wilmington.
Hon. John D. Bellamy argued for
the plaintitff and stated that they did
not seek damages against Mr. Wool
vin and would suffer a non suit as to
him. ' ..
The court held that it was too late
to buffer such a non suit, and ordered
Mr. Woolvin made a party defendant
and that he be allowed twenty days
in which to file answer. It was also
ordered that the case be set for trial
for the third one of thelay term of
court.
It will be recalled that the suit is
brought by Mrs. Gregg for damages
suffered by the loss of her husband,
E. M Gregg, who was killed April of
last year; by a pile of brick- falling
upon him. The brick were piled in
front of the large stores being erected
for Mr. Woolvin, on Princess street,
and it is charged that these brick
were insecurely packed and not prop
perly propped. This, the defendant
City of Wilmington, denies' and claims
that the accident was caused by Mr
Gregg's ; own neglbience in lean ng
against the pile of brjck and catching
a piece o tober on tog of
the pile, Twhieh, caused the briek to
tumble.
The case of Sloan &- Sweeney vs.
Hart, et al, was continued this morn
ing for the denfense, owing to the
indisposition of ex-Judge E, K, Bryan.
However, -it was , peremptorily set for
trial for the second case of the May
