FEWER SALOONS IN ENGLAND.
But Drinking in Social Clubs is on
the Increase.


the Increase.
LONDON, Oct. 8.-The brewers and
liquor dealers throughout the country
are much disturbed over the severe and
critical course pursued by many of the
magistrates at the license sessions. Hree-
tofore, when license was not indorsed
with evidence that the holder had been
convicted of some violation, it was re-
newed as matter of course. This has
all been changed by recent decision of
the courts, affirmed on appeal by the
house Of lords, that the justices have
entire discretion as to the renewal
Of u license, whether the conduct of the
license holder has been satisfactory or
not, and that, when the licensing mag
istrates deem 1t to be public interest to
do so, they can refuse any longer to Ii
cense place, no matter If 1t has been
licensed for hundreds of years,
The result is that the justices are re-
fusing licenses to some very old taverns
on the ground that there is no real need
for them, and are also refusing in other
cases where, in former times, the license
would have been granted almost as
matter of right The Manchester mag
istrates, by vote of forty to eighteen,
have decided not to grant liquor Ii
cense to music hall recently erected at
a cost of e80,O09, and at West Brow
mick a license to sell beer, porter and
cider was refused to the mayor of the
borough. Meantime drinking in social
clubs is on the increase, and these are
considered beyond the reach of the
police or the magistrates. Parliament
will be asked TO deal with the subject at
the coming session.

CLOSED BY A RUN.
CAUSE OF THB SUSPENSION.

Dcpositors Took Alarm Because the
President of the PhiIlipsburg Com
Germ Was Related to Dill. of tho
Defunct Ciearfield Bank.
PHILLiPsBURa, Pa, Oct. 8. - This
quiet little city was electrified by the
posting of the following announcement
on the doors of the Phillipsburg bank,
supposed to be one of the strongest in
stitutions in this portion of the state:
The continued demand of our depos-
itors is greater than we can meet at
once. We deem it best for all their in
terests to suspend payment and liqui-
date our affairs. We firmly believe we
can pay every depositor in full"
Ever since the Clearfield bank closed
and the Houtzdale bank failed the Phil
hpsburg institution has experienced an
unprecedented run. The miners and
their friends first took alarm from re-
ports from Houtzdale, and began an
open onslaught on the local bank. gath
erihg there in line and steadily drawing
their deposits Of $500 to 81, 900 without a
word of comment from either side.
Forced to suspend.
The bank stood this pressure easily,
and paid ont thousands within the last
three banking days. Then the heavy
depositors took fright, and began quiet
checking of their balances, which re-
suited in yesterdays announcement.
Officers of the bank had feared run,
and had made every preparation for the
worst, but with every check paid out
there seemed two moro rapping at the
gate, and yesterday they decided to at
tempt to stem the current no longer.
At the closing last Saturday enormous
SUMS were paid over the counter and
confidence was somewhat established
In the minds of the public by great
stacks of currency and heaps Of gold
piled on the counters. At the last mo-
Inent, however, two heavy checks from
lumber and coal mining firms overlrew
the balance.
The ClearfieId Affair Caused 1t.
The secret Of the closing lies in the
fact that Jonathan BOynton, Of Clear
field, is president Of the bank BOyn-
ton is father-in-aw Of President Dill of
the Clearield and Houtzdale banks.
1t is said that Boynton drew out S20,-
600 to assist Dill, and this, coupled with
wild rumors that Dill had previously
borrowed enormous sums from Boyn-
ton, caused u feeling of uneasiness that
the Phillipsburg bank might become in
Solyed in the run.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
A Prospect That IL VIII BE Car
ried without Opposition.


HARRIsDuRo. Oct. 6.-Unless some-
thing unforeseen occurs, the constitu-
tional convention will be fixed fact. 1t
grows out of very simple circum.
stancel the printing Of the tickets. The
constitutional convention act Of June
1S, 1891, does not contain in any of its
sections anything relating to the print.
Ing Of tickets.
Is was understood when the act was
under discussion that a. clause wonld
be inserted delegating the. printing of
ballots to the state. For some reason
this part was forgotten. II is generally
conceded by those who have given the
matter their attention that this omis-
sion will lead to the adoption of the
project at the polls. At the general
elections The political parties supply the
tickets, but this year neither party has
sufficient interest in the convention to
pay for The printing of ticket for or
against 1t. In some states when such
matter came to be voted on, both par
ties agreed to print at the bottom OF
their ballots the words ''For Constitu-
tional Convention" and Against Con-
stitntional Convention" leaving the
voter to take his choice.
Under the new act in this state, how
ever, the tickets must be separate. and
outside the words For Constitutional
Convention" and Against a Constitu-
tional Convention" can contain no other
inscription.
1t is reasoned that the men who are
candidates for delegates to the conven-
tion will supply the polls literally with
tickets declaring for convention, and
they will supply no other tickets.
