A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The Police Board Ask the Council to Pass m
Ordinance Requesting Sn1oon-Kecpcrs Il
Close Their Pfnces of Business ut IL O'Clock
ut Night.
The Board OF Police have been discussing tho adyisa
biity Of closing the saloons At IL o'clock in the
ing, and have concluded to do what they can to
complish It. Yesterday the Secretary under insruc
ons, sent the following communication to the Mayor
To the Hon: Joseph iMedai Mayor:
We would respectfully recommend that ordinance
be passed by the Common Council for the closing Of ali
may he sold BY the glass quantity to be drank on
the premises, st II p m and to DO kept clos
ed until O. M in the SUMNER and T. m. in tho win
ter monthe and that the Corporation Counsel be re-
que.ted to draw up ordinance to that effect We
would unanimously ask for this, in the belief that al
most all the riots and trnulta proceed from such
Places and that tho closing Of saloons or regulating
them that their LICENCES Will be revoked for not obey
ing auch ordinance will largely decrease c7ime and
be for the benefit OF al well-lisposed citizens.
CAn1ILx MASON.
LEVI P. WRIGHT,
MARX SHERIDAN,
Commissioners OF the Board OF Police
The Mayor Il understood to favor the closing, and
1t is probable that ordinance enbody1ng tho re-
qui1e1neus OF the Board Of Police will be submitted to
the Council tomorrow eSening. The assertion Of the
Commissioners that nearly a11 tho law1essness orig-
Mates in saloons is correct and 1t the vicious classes
prevented from getting tho drink that makes them
reckless, riots In saloons and a. dances kept up until
morning will be Of rare occurrence.

charges against tho defendant had been
made good to such an extent as to
Justify proceedings in bankruptcy. Proof were
given BY both parties that balances were due to
them, but that Insolvency existed the part of the
defendants ho did not think had been established by
the petitioners. The Court could readily SEQ how
misunderstanding between the parties could have
arisen botween them, and resulted In these procee-
ngs Tho petitionng creditor had contracted to sup-
ply provisions for the subsistence Of the men and
horses employed at tho contractors works. These

the purveyors failed to supply them with goods Of
