Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1882-04-03
THE FIRST OF APRIL.

Immense Business as Banks, County Offices,
Taverns ana stores.
Those who prOphesied that there would
be falling off in the usual rush OF business
which has heretofore marked the 1st of
April in this city were much mistaken.
From inquiries made at the National
banks and private banking houses We
learn that the transactions have been from
ten to thirty per cent. greater than ever
before, while the transactions at the new
National, the Fulton, have exceeded all
expectation. Everything at all these in
stitutions passed off very pleasantly debt
ors met their Obligations with unusual
prOmptness, depOsitors were flush, money
flowed like water, and borrowers had no
difficulty in getting all the cash they
wanted On favorable terms.
In the court house there was constant
throng of people all day, and the business
done in the prothonotary's and recorders
offices was larger than ever before. There
were no less then 373 judgments entered
in the former office, about 40 more than
last year while the releases were numbered
by hundreds. In the recorders Office there
were IS mortgages and 100 deeds and
other papers presented while the satisfac-
tions and releases far exceeded those of
former years. ..... r.1a
The taverns, restaurants and eating
houses had many more customers than
they could conveniently accommodate,
and many hundreds OF barrels of beer
were swallowed by the thirsty multitude.
Of course, there was some drunkenness
and quarreIipg, but considering tho crowd
and the occasion, there was comparatively
little disturbance of the peace.
The INTELLIGENCER was of course WIS.,
tied by many hundreds of its friends and
patrons, who left behind them substantial
tokens of their continued confidence in it's
efforts to furnish 4 tirst-class daily and
weekly newspaper. ~. J. -
Meeting OF the Irish Land League
The Charles Parnell branch of the Irish
Land League. met in Fulton opera house
yesterday afternoon and elected for the
ensuing year the following named officers :
President, Thos. McC Clarnar vice president
James McGregar; recording secretary,
Edw. A. Kreikel, jr. corresponding Sec
retary, John Madden treasurer, James
McGraw.
The League decided to adopt badges, and
will also send delegate to Washington
this month to represent their Organiza-
tion at the national convention. Speeches
were made in favor of the cause by most
of the members. The president, Mr.. Nc
Clarnar spoke for some time, and in his
remarks said that he hoped "to see-and
he was satisfied it would come-the day
when Ireland would take her place in the
world as a distinct nation, and could send
her ministers to America to take care of
her citizens, as America sends a minister
to Great Britain to not take care of hers"
Although not large number was present,
quite liberal sum of money was subscrib-
ed. The League will meet again two
weeks hence.
