Temperance Work at Delphi.

Councilman Bichard Coble, of Delphi, leader of the anti-saloon and anti-vice forces in that city, has just scored a victory there by the action of the jury in a case of application for saloon license, by a man i amed Ham ling taken on ap peal to the circuit court. The jury disagreed which they think has the effect of defeating Hamling’s application. Some time ago Coble and officers raded Hamling’s saloon and canght a crowd of men playing poker. Hamling plead guilty to the charge of conducting a gambling house, and that made four times that he had plead guilty to conducting a gambling room in connection with his saloon and Coble, assisted by the ministers of the city, have sought to prevent the re-issue of a license to him. This is said to be only a beginning of the work the temperance and anti liquor forces at Delphi propose to do.
