IT HAD TO GO UNDER
Phillipsburg Bank Also a Vic
 tim to President Dill.
HOPES OF PAYING ALL CLAIMS.
The Failures at Clearfeld and Houtz lale
 Caused a Great Run on the Bank.

The President of the Bank the FasIl lar- in-Law of Dnl-He Had Drawn Out a Large Amount to Assist His son-in-Law. A Panic Imminent, and Fears that Many Individuals Will Go Down.
 PHILLIPsBURG, Pa, Oct. 6.-This com munity was greatly excited yesterday by the following announcement which was posted on the doors of the Phillipsburg Bank, supposed to be one of the strong est private institutions of the State:
 Ger. 5, 1891.
 The continued demand of our deposi- tors is greater than we can meet at once. We deem it best for all their in terests to suspend payment and iquidate our af- fairs. We firmly believe we can pay every depositor in full
 o. PERRY JONES, Cashier.
 Ever since the Clearfield bank closed and the Houtzdale bank failed the Phillipsburg institution has experienced an unprecedented run. The miners and their friends became alarmed and began a run, steadily withdrawing their de- posits of $500 to $1, 900, and many thousand dollars were thus paid out during the last three days. Then the heavy depositors took fright, and began 8 quiet checking of their balances, which rcSult0u III UL0 dnnOunCemenU.
 The officers of the bank had feared a run and made every preparation for the worst, but with every check paid out there seemed to be two more coming in and they decided to no longer attem pt to stem the current.
 On Saturday confidence was somewh at restored by the gold and currency visible on the counters. At one last moment two heavy checks from lumber and coal sDS,, a nasty meeting of bank officials was called for 8 o'clock yesterday morning. At 3 o'clock the notice was posted.
 The secret of the closing lies in the fact that Jonathan Boynton, of Clear field, is president of the bank. Boynton is the father-in-law of President Dill of the Clearfeld and Houtzdale banks, now in jail.
 The statement has been made here and in Clearfield that Mr. Boynton, only a few days ago, had drawn out $20 coo, which he loaned to his son-in- law to assist him in his troubles, and this, with rumors that Dill had previously borrowed enormous sums from Mr. Boynton, caused feeling of uneasiness
 The effect of closing the Phillipsburg bank can hardly be estimated. This city lies close to Houtzdale, while Clearfie Id is not far away, and as all depend for their prosperity largely upon mining and lumber, the panic cannot be fully meas ured.
 It is feared that many individuals will go down in the crash that seems inn minent here. Cashier Jones made 8 statement yesterday that every dollar would be paid in full as soon as the bank had time to negotiate the collateral security it has on hand. He also said that President Boynton only nf hn bank, and that he was merely a figure head. President Boynton has not spent a week in the bank for the last five years

side. But with it all, I find time to work and read and study. am great reader of American newspapers and books l am studying so when I visit the states I will have some idea of the great country and the progress it has made"
 ''What of England at present?''
 Remarkably tranquil. The queen is dearly beloved by all. Our statesmen are wise, and our country is prosperous. l think there is less crime than former ly, and the poorer people are better ed ucated and better clothed. England has much to be thankful for.''
 You have been taking some interest in the coming fair in Chicago?"
 ''Yes, and I hope it will be great success. I fancy a great many English men will be exhibitors, and I guess you may count upon large number of wis itors from our shores. It is a splendid idea"
 The talk ran on for few minutes

THE pressure, political and otherwise, which has been brought to bear upon Secretary Tracy for the dissolution of the squadron evolution and the sending of the vessels composing it to various points where they are needed, has at last been success full in spite of the strong ''pulf' of Con- modore Walker. The Boston and the Atlanta will in the near future go to the Pacific; one of the three vessels left-the Chicago, the Newark and the Bennlng- ton-will go to the South Atlantic squadron, and the other two will join the North Atlantic squadron. It has been a long fight and a very bitter one, and the wounds left are likely to cause trouble in the navy for years to come.

A post mortem on the remains ot

A post mortem on the remains of Charles C. Barowsky, who died recently at Sioux City, Iowa, revealed the re- markable fact that he had lived for the past twenty-nine years with bullet in his brains. He was shot with a re- volver during the war, but recovered. Since then lie had never been able to lie on the right side or to stoop over without violent pain in bis head. The doctors found that the bullet had gone through the eye to the upper part of the head and turned downward and lodged near the base of the skull, where It had become encysted. Tie most vital parts of tie brain were traversed by the ball and how th& man lived Is a mystery.

longer, and then the lord mayor arose to go into court. He invited me to ae- company him, and was conducted to room across the broad hallway. It was not an imposing room. It was over crowded with spectators and lawyers, and was but dim1y lighted. When the lord mayor appeared he wore judges gown over his shoulders, and there was deep silence until he took his seat and opened court. This appearance of the highest public official of great city like London presiding over a petty criminal court seems somewhat strange. So you can readily see that the lord mayor is far from being an idle man. Then on special occasions, such for in stance as the visit of a frishy monarch to London, the drafts which are made upon his time and energy and pocket book are something enormous. In re- turn he gets compensation in the way of little extra glory, and in the shape perhaps of decoration of some sort to have and to hold as mark of the gen. erosity of kings and queens. His show on lord mayors day, when he is sworn into office, is very costly affair, but he does not have to pay all the expenses of 1t. It IS paid TOT on a sort or voluntary assessment plan by the lord mayor, the aldermen of the city and the city guilds.
 For all this, the lord mayor is paid five thousand dollars per year, while to keep up anything like the dignity of the office he must spend at least twenty-five thousand dollars-he can serve but one term of one year in duration. Most lord mayors indeed spend good deal more than this, for they do not elect poor men to be lord mayors in London, and as the honor is considered a great one by London merchants, rich aldermen are willing to spend a deal of money once they reach the high position ot chief magistrate of the city.
 There will not be a London mayors day for some time, so after seeing the lord mayor himself I went over and saw the next important feature of the pageant on lord mayors day-the great state coach in which he rides to Guild hall It is worth seeing, too.
 This coach antedates the United States, for it was built in 1757 and was first used in November of that year by Sir Charles Asgil, knight, lord mayor It was built out of 8 fund made up by the aldermen personally and thereafter

every alderman upon his election had to subscribe sixty pounds toward anoth- CT fund to keep it in repair. Every lord mayor elected had to put up one hun dred pounds for the same purpose. Later the corporation took the affair in hand and now attends to the coach, so it looks well despite its age. Of course it has been repaired from time to time, and it's present wheels are comparative ly new-they were put on in 1928.
 But the way it is gilded and carved and decorated and painted and becush- toned would surprise you. It must in a sense overpower the lord mayor, to- gether with his chaplain and sword bearer and mace-bearer. when they ride on it on lord mayors day. Nor is it any small affair, either. It weighs three tons, 1,G0O weight, and is drawn by six horses. The horses wear superb state harness made in 1883. That on each horse weighs 1O6 pounds. Of course the lord mayor has a state coach of his own, and I was able to sec that, too, and it is Q fine modern affair in green and gold and gilt and brass. It is decorated with the royal crown, with the drIuS O1 AOuCOL, UIC drInS Ol G1l0 lord mayor, the arms of the various guilds to which he belongs and other things. It must have cost MT. Savory a pretty penny.
 Lord Mayor Savory will go out of office on November 9, and shortly after that, according to what he has said, you may expect to see him in the United States. An any rate, he will be there in time for the worlds fair at Chicago. Americans are pretty sure to like him, as he certainly does like them, so far as he knows them. He is a sensi ble, democratic sort of man, much in- terested in social reforms, in educational matters and new methods of governing citles.
 Americans who think that public men should come of good old stock can find no fault with Mayor Savory, for he can trace his ancestry back in a direct line to Charlemagne the Great. Pepin, king of Italy, who died A. D. SIS; Robert king of France; Hugh Capet, Henry l., King of France, and other distinguished royal personages were among his an cestors. Later and after the edict oj Nantes, his forefathers, who were Huguenots, came over to England. O. such stock sprung Mayor Savory. So much for London's lord mayor, anC leaving his descent from Charlemagnt out of the question entirely, he is a; able, honest man and a good public of | ficial

 The lord mayor of London is very great man. There are those in London who believe that he sits on a small throne. There are those in the country. districts who believe that he feasts on nightingales' tongues and lives life of sybaritic ease. So much has been said about the gorgeousness of the lord mayors parade that some Americans fancy him to be unapproachable to the common people. He is still an official about whom the glamour of red coats, laces, tinsel, royal feasts and fiunkeys in stained glass attitudes is yet thrown. He is the civic head of Lon don. The present official is Joseph Savory.
 His residence is in the Mansion house, built in 174O, and place worth visiting, in the very heart of bustling London. An endless string of wagons, hansoms and busses are continually going by it,

TIE LESSON oE IT.

The lesson to be learned from yester- days election is plain. In the words of the old song: United we stand, divided we fall. That is the sum and substance Of it. Internal dissensions sapped tie very life out of the democracy and the only surprise is that the disaster WIS not more complete. Had the advice of the DEMOCRAT been needed We feel that the result would have been different. It was known long ago that many in the fourth ward were preparing for open revolt and something should have been done to plucate the dissatisfied ones. No olive branch was held cut however, and the fight, which should have ended at the primaries, was car ried to the polls. Republican money helped to widen the breach and the natural democratic majority vanished like the dew before the rising sun. We hope the lesson will not soon Le for gotten.
