Judce Noonan Takes Them Under Ad- visement Until Thursday—The Case Exhaustively Presented. "“\0 Lelnb saloon case, commenced last Fri- ‘ICY. was called up yesterday afternoon in tile Court of Criminal Correction for arguments. At the trial the State sought to introduce in evidence tlle defendant's license. To tllls the defense objected, aild that and other points raised were laid over until yesterday for ar- gument. All of the points involved were of a strictly lelral nature, and upon them rests solely the decision in the case. Judge Noonau had signified his intention of hearing arguments from‘). o'clock until 6 p.m.. but also suggested to counsel on botll sides that he desired briefs containing all the points of law brought up. cases and decisions cited. It was 3 o'clock before tlle Judge opened court, and after the case was called be re- quested the attorneys to proceed witlltllelr arguments. Ills lionor appeared to be unwell and intimated that he would nlucll preler to have only the briefs submitted and hear no oral ar utnents. Maj. ctlinnis opened for the defense and bctrnn by stating that there had been two oints made during the trial of the case pend- nlf. 'I‘lle first was the invalidity of tllelicense offer din evidellce. and the second, the valid- fity o the special act of 1857, pleaded by the dc- ellse. At this juncture Col. Claiborne. for the State. asked the Court how much tlllle would be given each side. Judas Noonan said that he thought half an hour for each would be ample, although he would very mucll refer not to hear ally oral arguments, btlt have it subluitted on the briefs. Maj. .\icGinnis stated that the defense had its briefs ready and was willing to submit the glse; but desired to make a short oral argu- en . ’ Col. Claiborne said the State was anxious to hear orally from the defense, no matter how short the argument would be. Tile Court then ordered the defense to pro- ceed. Mil). McGililli.-l, resuminlz, said the de- fense objected to the paper purporting to he a dratnshop license, as it had not been granted by com etent authority. The license had been l-ante by N. 0. Hudson, Tax Collector of the ‘ity of St. Louis, while the statute provided that it should be granted by the County Court. Counsel then explained the discretionary power of the Count Courts as to the issuing of ii- censes. In t iinmatter THE JUDICIAL POWER wasexercised. and these functions could be performed only by the same authority for the city and in the absence of such authority by a corresponding power exercising the same func- tions. The city having no County Court, the judicial power, the defense contended, was vested in the Municipal Assembly. alld section 24 of the Scheme for the separation of the City and County of St. Louis, authorized by a Coll- stitution a1 Convention ,dclegatcd the functions vested in the former County Court, and not otherwise provided for, to the Mullicipal As- senlbly. That body possefised the sole authority to grant dramsllop licenses. It was the duty of the Municipal Assembly to enact sucll ordi- nances_as were llt3Ce98li.I'V'tO carry into e_xe- cution the laws relative to the State and mu- nicipal taxes. Counsel quoted the law of 1877, as set forth in the Revised Statutes, page 1557; section 5441, 5442, 5443 and 5438. By the charter the power to grant saloon ‘and dramsbop licenses was conferred upon the Municipal Assembly. The question then was whether the ower so delegated could be redclegatcd bytlle unicipal Assembly to another body or person . Section 34 of the Cllarter, page 1570 of the Re- vised Statutes, was quoted, which set forth the power of the Assembly to license and con- trol dramshops and enact such legislation as pertained to the revenue. It was clear that the discretionary power to grant or refuse dramshop licenses upon ap- plication and by petition was a function for- merly performed by the County Court, but now devolving upon the Municipal Assembly. The law was plain, and ill its ..pplication to the city it was specifically set forth; that wllere the word "county" ' appeared the word “city” should be substituted for it. The Col- lector of the City of St. Louis, under the law, collected the taxes and performed the other duties ertaining to the office of and per- formed by County Collectors. He simply col- lected the dramshop tax, but he neither had the power nor was it his duty, under the law, to grantlicenses. Counsel again quoted from section 24, article 34, of the Charter, which de- clared that the Council shall in all things ap- pertaining to the assessment and collection of taxes perform and do all things which de- volved upon the County Court. if not other- wise provided for. In no manner except by ordinance was the power conferred upon the Collector to grant dramshop licenses. The case of St. Louis vs. Keulbling, reported in 46th Mo. , was cited. Ill that case the question was raised as to the power of the city to delegate certain authority to the Cit Engineer, which the Court held to be invali . It had been decided ill numerous cases that the power conferred upon it City Council could not be delegated, and it was a well-established fact that that power could not be dele ated to even a committee of its own body. r. Hudson did not possess any other authority than that derived through the chan- nel of an ordinance. '.l‘lle authority which be exercised being solely vested ill the Municipal Assembly, the granting of dramsllop licenses by him was illegal. '.1‘1le law under which the case pendlngwas prosecuted applltyl only to LICENSED DRAMSIIOI’ KEEPERS, and it had been so declared by the Supreme Court of the State. Under that decision, and u n the pleat1'.at'the1icenscs issued by the Cl)t(j’7 Collector were illegal, the defendant was not a licensed, dramsliop keeper, and hence not amenable to the law. Col. Claiborne, for the State, spoke briefly. He argued that the license granted the de- fendant was legal. Under it he had acquired all the benefits that mirzllt accrue by reason of the privileges it gave tin), and it was not for him to question the manner of its issue. It was the first time that a person had ever come into Court and denied the legality of ii license. Counsel cited a case (23d Mo.) which was in oint, wherein the Supreme Court old that the defendant was not‘ justified in carrying on business because the license had been withheld. Whether it had been properly or improperly withheld made no difference. If section 24 of the cllarter had gone uofurther than to declare that the fulle- tions of the former County Court devolved upon the Municipal Asselnnly, the position taken by the defense would have been correct, but the same charter which the defense re- ferred to as the organic law of the city gave the Municipal Assembly the power to enact or- dinances to carry ill to effect all laws pertain- fn to the revenue, State. county and munici- p .and to designate by ordinance such officer as may collect the revenue. Major McGinnis here interrupted and stated that in order to not stop at mere tecllnicalities the defense would ndm t the ordinance in evi- dence. The ordinance. counsel for the State said, provided that all applications upon pe- tition for licenses shall be made to the Col- lector. Under that ordinance, passed by au- thority of sections 24 and 34 of the Scheme of Separation, the Collector ext-rcised the duties In) sed upon him by it. Counsel cited several or inances. sections of the .~.~clu:me and Ulnar- ter and dram-shop laws to prove that the . Collector had the right to exercise the powers of the former County Court ill relation to the ranting of licenses. The case of tllzzolo vs. ‘I. C. Hudsomdecided by the Court of Appeals. was cited. The Court affirmed the decision of the lower Court, and held that the Collector had the right to exercise discretionary power in issuing dram-shop licenses. Col. Claiborne also argued that the defense would seek to prove that the SPECIAL ACT or 1857, under which it clalnletl exemption. was valid and in force. This was not so. The act ap- plied onlv to St. Louis City and County, but by the separation of , the city and county it ex- ired. Besides, it was necessary, to carry it nto effect. that an ordinance should be passed and in force. In the revised ordinances of 1870 no such ordinance was to be found, and nowhere does it appear in the ordinances and laws of the City of St. Louis except in Gottst-halk’s compilation of the laws and ordinances of the City and County of St. Louis, 1868. Ftirthermore, the act was un- doubtedly re ealed by the Downing law. If that act was eclared valid by the Court, that woum be no bar to the prosecution. as there was no ordinance in existence to carry its pro- visions into effect. and ordinance 5.421 of the Revised Ordinances of 1871, section 4, page 5% 1-epea,l8(.l the ordinance. and nothing was 131% but the special act on the old statute ”°,§’g'§2;- Col. Claiborne had concluded some of no other attorneys expressed a desire to make w further arguments, but the Court declined to hear them and announced that the briefs would be suflicient. Tile Court also stated that counsel on botll sides would be allowed to file additional briefs this lnorninlr. The t the fixed by the Court to give its decision on the points raised is Thursday afternoon, but Judge Noonan stated that he would robnbl require lnore time, and it was possib e that e mi-,:llt not be ready at the time appointed. The case was. llowevel . continued until 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. THE CRIMINAL covirrs. A Deserted Wife——Shocking Complaint Against a Father. The case of George Schuh, charged with wife abandonmt-nt.came up for a hearing yesterday in the Court of Correction. The alleged deserted spouse swore that Scllnh had not contributed to her support for over nine months. and had refused to provide for her. Scbub took the stand, and testified in his own behalf. When examined by the Prosecuting Attorney he admitted that he had failed to support his wife durlng.the time mentioned by her. Col. Claiborne. satisfied that he be had a clear case against the ac- cused, informed the Court that was all the evidence for the State. . Judge Noonan then questioned Schub, who drew from his pocket and handed to his Hon- oradt-crce of divorce from the prosecuting witness granted in 1874. The Court and prose- cutor were taken completely by surprise. It is needless to state that the case was dis- missed. and the defendant was promptly dis- charged from custody. An examination was had of the case of Chris Lallnien, the man arrested a few days ago for burglarlzlng and setting fire to a house on Kossuth avenue. Evidence was offered show- ing that the defendant was of unsound mind. and the case was dismissed. The case of E. Ash agnist F. Kuhlmann for criminal libel was dismissed for the want of prosecution. Ash alleged that Kuhlmanh had accused him of stcalint: a horse. Andrew Schmidt, charged with assaulting- Josepll Kaiser with intent to do great bodily harm, had an examination, and was held in 3500 bonds to await the action of the Grand ury. , THE SUNDAY LAW CASES. It having been decided b ' the Colg't that the running of street cars on t le Sabbath is not a violation of the Sunday law, the prosecution in the cases pending will be discontinued. Yesterday the following cases set for trial were nolle pros'd; W. C. Lange, George Case, John H. Maxon, Christian Peper, W. R. Allen and Charles Parsons. Tile cases of Christo- pllcr Winkelmeyer, Henry Grone. Ernst Link, August Remullin, Wm. Dahui Wm. Simon, John O'Neill and Henry Broeggelmeyer, charged with Sabbath-breaking, were coll- tinued to September 5. The cases of James Kelly and eighty-tllree others. charged with liquor selling. also went over until August 30. The case against S. E. Freuud was dismissed at the defendant's cost. . New Warrants. Joseph Schunlncher. a gardener, 55 years old,was arrested Monday evening by Detective Eggs upon a most revolting charge. During the afternoon of the day mentioned a Mrs. Bauer called on Capt. Fruchte at the Four Courts with Susanna, the 15-year-old daughter of Schumacher, and related a horrible story of the treatment the child had been subjected to by herfatllcr. Some time ago the girl com, plained to the neighbors that her father had compelled her to yield to his desires ever since the death of his wife, two years alto. By threats of killing her be had succeeded in preventing the child from divulging ally- thing about it. Detective Eggs was detailed to investigate the matter alld found the child's story to be true. A warrant was issued and Schunlacher was lodged in jail. lie is a gar- dener and came to this country from Switzer- land two years ago. THE H()8TLER'S stunpnn.

There was a full rehearsal last night of Manette, the new opera by Mr. A. G. Robyn, libretto by Mrs. H. D. Pittman, and those who happened to be present were greatly pleased. The music is bright alld original. There are several airs that will be very taking. The choruses are especially brilliant and are pl'l:- vnded with a waltz rhythm that is very capti- vating. ’I‘1le prospects are excellent for full houses at the Pickwick 'I‘he:lter all next week.

Promoters Retarded by the Apathy of Business Men-The List Must Be Closed at Once. The effort that is being made to repeat the illumination of Fourth and Fifth streets during Fair week and a portion of the fall 8.338011 is not meeting with the success it deserves, judg- ing froul the reports tllnt have been received by the Conlmittec of Management. When it is considered that the illumination last year. which. after all, was an experiment in a crude form. was proilounced the greatest and nlost artistic success in that line ever produced in the United States. the dllatory action of sub- scribers is perfectly amazing to the energetic promoters of the enterprise. They are only interested in the general welfare of the city, and although the commit- tee is composed of Fourth street merchants, it is contended that they should not be expect- ed to meet the entire expense as they are not directly benefited, their stores being closed in the evening when the crowds are attracted to the tzayly lighted promenade.- Areborter of the Gl.ofll-'.-Dl~:MocnA‘r called yesterday afternoon on Mr. S. pi. Keil- nard. Chairman of the I-Jxccutive Committee. to inquire how the preparations were getting along. “Very slowly," he murmured. ° ‘Anything particulartlle matter?’ ' "Nothing except that the btlsllioss men do not respond very promptly. The fact is, we sent out over 2,500 circulars to citizens asking them to contribute towards dcfravlng the ex- penses of the illnlninations, and the responses are so few that we have determined that unless we are lllucll be-ttcr supported by the C011‘.- nlunlty than present subscriptions indicate we shall cancel all pledges received and take no further steps towards getting up the illumi- nation. 'I‘1le Executive Conlulittce, consist- ing of three gentlemen and myself. bad to set- tle up nearly a thousand dollars that we were short last venr, and we do not care to assume We think if we give our time and pay one-half of the expense it is all that we should be expected to do. ’ "How soon will you decide?” "We have only ten days more time to make our contracts, and if during that time the answers to our circulars do not colne in more rapidly than they have done we shall take no further steps ill the nlattcr. If the citizens ltcnernlly do not evince interest enough ill it to contribute a small amount of money to de- fray the expenses we shall conclude that they - do not want it. and so far as we are concerned we shall abandon the idea. We do not wish to beg the citizens to contribute, nor are we in- clined to force an illumination upon them against their expressed desires. It was not surprising that it took some trouble to raise the money ‘last year. as people did not know what we were going to do, but after such an exhibition as that of 1882 we thought there would be no oc- casion to urge the matter upon the public. Tile members of the Commercial Club of Bos- ton, who were here late in the season, said the display was uluch superior to the vaunted illumination that welcomed the Shall of Persia to Paris. and they all expressed a desire to visit St. Louis with their friends the following year to admire the grand spectacle." ' ‘What is the estimated cost?’ ’ “Tile cost this year will be more than half the cost of last year.” “How is_thnt when you have the fixtures?” '°Yos,wc have what is left of the IlXC1ll'0S,Ill6 pipe, etc. The largest portion of the cost was for labor in putting up and taking down the pipes. Labor is no cheaper. anti no money will be saved on that point. Then. again,ovcr two-thirds of the globes used last year were broken wllilc up in consequence of being wet with rain while heated, and from otllcr inci- dental alld accidental causes. ' ’ "Did you propose to illuminate in the same way?" ' °Our intention was to make the display more handsome by using a greater variety of colored globes, and we also proposed to enhance the general effect by erecting arches across I-‘ourth alid Fifth streets at Walnut street and Wash- ington avenue. These arches would have to be very large, owing to the width of the streets, and ill order to get the requisite strength they would have to be of a double pattern, similar to the Laclede arch which was constructed last year at Eleventh and Washington avenue.” A visit was paid to the other members of the committee and they all spoke in the same strain. Those who have received subscription blanks should return them without delay. wllctller or not they were willing to aid the movement. 9 THE NEIV CUSTOM HOUSE. Location of the Telegraph “fires and Prospective Completion. Work on the Custom House is beinz pushed forward with great vigor by Superintendent Cameron, and it is now thought that a major- ity of the offices will be ill readiness for occu- pancy about the lst of November, and that the ,, entire building will be completed by the first of the year. A part of the Signal Service Depart ment has already nlovcd into the build- ing, and yesterday Mr. Baker, telegraphic manager of the service. had a conference with Superintendent Cameron as to the best man- ner of introducing wires into the building. Ml’. Cameron was decidedly opposed to any wires being run illto the building from above the surface, on the ground that they w e un- sightly. inconvenient and likely to b come dangerous. He advocated runllillgtllclil down the bridge ventilating shaft at the corner of St. Charles and Eighth streets, and thence to the building through the tunnel. Tllis, however. was 0 posed by Mr. Baker, because the wires wele lkely to rust in the tunnel. Mr. Cameron then proposed that they be run to the post just opposite the Locust-street en- trance, and thence to the ground. and into the building under the Belgian pavement at the main entrance. This was agreed to by Mr. B:lkel'. and the work will begin in a few days. After getting into the building, the wires will be carried through some of the shafts inside to all floors and offices desired, the chief office being at the corner of Eighth and Olive stleets.
