This bill was placed in the hands Of

ession. Mr.. Delamater, was chairman
# the Committee. He was interview
d many times and always declar d that
he favored the bill and would use his
influence to make it law. On the 2d
If May 1889, Mr.. Brown of York
county, member of the Grange made
motion seconded by Mr.. Hernir ger, a
awyer of Lshi9h County thst tn @ IN
nittee having charge of IN e bill be DIS
charged for neglect of duty and that
he bill be taken up in open session.
The vote was taken as above, and Mr..
Delamater showed his deception by

.lone would have brought the bill be-
'ore the session for debate, and it is
the bill would have become a

will name as his successor. Ii this matter
were left to the people OF the county or
even the State, no one could have any
doubt as to who would be their choice, and
1t would only involve the mere forms OF
law to place A. z. Robinson. ESD, in the
Judicial chair, thus made vacant by the
death OF Judge Paynter. But alas the
poor people, as usual In such asee, will
have very little, IL any, voice In the seleo-
ton. In addition to the name Mr.. Rob.
inson several others have been mentioned
as possibilities and wen probabilities,
prominent among which are o. M. Cullen,
others among the young members OF the
Sussex bar. Whether these latter
are used with any degree OF serious.
ness | know not; but there rs
one name that has not yet been mentioned
among the younger members OF the bar OF
Sussex, which for lie 2al ability and judicial
fitness is recognized as standing head and
mentioned In connection with the appoint
ment, with the bare exception of Messrs.
Cullen and Robinson, and that man is II. @.
White, E-q. Mr. White Is recognized by the
bar of Sussex and by the rench of the State
as possessing legal abilities OF no mean
order. Possessing, as he does, natural
legal mind, he would very soon develop
into nm able and efficient judge. And while
Mr.. White emphatically asserts chat no

the Office than he possesses Is fit to I'LL 1t,
yet trust the governor will do no greater
violence to the wishes OF the people than
the appointment of Mr. White.

FIRE AT MIDsIaBE


Morris Cohen's Second Hand Cloth
ing Store Burned Out Last Night.
Morris Oohen's second hand clothing
store at No. Z East Front street was
burned out at midnight Monday night.
Loss, about $400; covered by insurance.
Police Officer Sherer discovered the
fire at 12.05 O'Clock and sent out an alarm
from box No. Al at Warmers wharf.
The fire was extinguished by the engines
in leaa than half hour. Its not known
how the fire originated, but it destroyed
or damaged nearly the entire stock of
clothing.
Cohen and his wife and children live
in the second story of the building, and
Andrew Wilkinson and his wife on the
third floor. All escaped unipjured but
frightened.
In responding to the alarm the Friend
ship hose carriage collided with an iron
electric light pole at Front and Market
strests, and smashed letter box attached
thereto. 1t contained letter and postal
card which, with the box, were taken to
the post-ofiice by Police Officer Gayner.
j. d. Darlington, the driver of the
hose carriage, said this morning that he
was coming down grade at good rate
and did not notice a red light at the rail
road crossing until he was nearly on it.
He was going too fast to stop so had to
turn quickly or run into train. In
making the abrupt turn, the box was
struck.

NO 1loUok IN CAMDEN.
Every Sa'oOn CLOSED 'FO-6ay-Cause
of the DrOuth.

OIL the DFOuths
PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-Oam5snites
will go dry to-day, all the saloons in that
city having closed their doors last night,
the licenses of the liquor dealers having
expired, and no new permits for the sale
of liquor having been les ed.
By act of the New Jersey legislature
approved on April 18th, 1884, and amended
on June LIST, 1856, the liquor licenses in
the city of Camden are granted by
board of excise commissioners consisting
of five persons. The present board con-
sists of Messrs. John Cherry, Lewis Nc
Dowell, John A. Furey, Louis Schiemer
and James Clearey.
The act creating the commissioners
aleo provides they shall make rules for
their own government which shall not
be inconsistent with the act. Since the
passage of the act OF 1884, as amended
by the act of 1886, the celebrated Wertz
law has been passed, and puts an entirely
new face on the matter of granting
licenses for the sale of liquor. Judge
Alfred Hugg, the attorney for the Liquor
Dealers Association, discovered that a
number of the rules made by the board
of excise commissioners confiioted with
the Wertz law, and after long and elab-
crate argument, covering nil the points,
the board decided unanimously against
against him. He then oertioraried the
case to the Supreme Court.
The case was thoroughly argued before
one of the judges of that court, but it
appears the latter has gone to Europe,
and ss the excise board cannot grant
licenses until the matter has been de-
cided by the court, it places the liquor
dealers in most peculiar position.
The liquor dealers and the excise COM
misaioners both awaited news from Tren-
ton with great anxiety.
Dispatches few between the two cities
with all the rapidity that lightning could
command, but they failed to move the
judges. So at midn ght President john
Mccormick of the Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation issued orders to all the saloon
keepers to close their PLACES OF business.
With great reluctance this mandate was
carried into effect.
