the County Commissioners to Try to
Secure Them.

EX-County Detective Thomas f..

amicable action in assumpsit yesterday
in court, and Commissioners S. w. Rob

are named as the defendants. Reyn-

HOTEL MEN WILL ACT.
They Intend to Take Steps to Prosecute
Those Who Are Selling Liquor Without
License in This County.

License in This County
There is a strong probability that
during the year 1895 systematic eff
fort will be made to weed out unlicensed
drinking places, of which there are
about 500 in this county The move
ment will be inaugurated by well
known hotel keepers who have, during
the last few weeks, given the matter
considerable attention and held con-
ferences with public officers who can
aid them in the matter.
They are in earnest his time.
Within recent years several such
movements have been inaugurated, but
after a little work had been done the
organization collapsed for the reason,
as has been openly charged, that many
of those interested in the crusade were
themselves fragrant violators of law
with regard to selling on Sunday and
to minors and were, therefore, not in
a position to push to the wall those who
We're without license. 1t, therefore,
became a matter of necessity to toler-
ate the opposition of the unlicensed
dealer.
Principal Cause of Complaint.
Last year when court granted liquor
licenses a number of those who We're
selected as proper persons for the honor
of holding them did not take their
certificates out, although, 1t is stated,
that in some instances those for whom
they We're intended continued to do
business in exactly the same manner as
when they held license. These busi-
ness men have been so successful in
saving the $500 license fee that others
have declared their intention of adopt
ing the no license idea this year, and
1t Is probable that when license court
meets in March a number of old houses
will not present applications.
1t is this condition of affairs that has
aroused the conservative and law re-
specting hotel keepers and made them
resolve to act.
An Unjust Opposition.
They contend that it will be impos-
sible for them to pay their license and
live if men are allowed to keep places
all about them who have no legal right
whatever to sell any kind of brewed
liquor or spirits.
A war of determination against the
"speak-easies," such as is said to be
contemplated, would soon overcrowd
the county Jail.

WORK HAS BEGUN.
Engineer Szlaph Here to prepare Detail
Drawings of Roaring Brook Bridge.

Work was begun. yesterday by Null
doom G. Bowie on one of the Platt place
abutments of the Roaring Brook bridge.
p l.. Szlaph, bridge engineer of the
Phoenixvlle Bridge company, was in
the city yesterday preparing detail
drawings of the bridge for the con-
struction of which his company has the
contract. As soon as he completes his
labors the work of manufacturing the
iron for the bridge will begin.
City Engineer Phillips is not satisfied
with the progress that is being made
on the abutment of the Linden street
bridge by Muldoon 4 Bowie, and is
urging them to make greater progress.

Wanted Bread, Not Sermons.

Cadiz, Oct. 15.-There was a procession
OF the Rosary here last night that re-
suited in somewhat serious attack on
the Drocessi0nists.
AS the procession. which was headed bv
the Bishop of Cadiz, was passing through
theSstrcets. a mob OF idle work ingmen were
met who did not approve OF the religious
parade. They shouted
I'VE want work, not sermons. Go kill
the insurgents i'm Cuba -
Not satisfied with thus insulting the
clergy, they hustled those who were TAX
ing part in the procession and then
stoned the priests.
The yoilcys were SO heavy that the
priests and their followers were compelled
to take refuge in church.
The mob then stood outside, hoOting
and Iecring. until dispersed by the police
During the stODe-thro W ing the bishop
was slightly injured.
The mob made a feeble resistance to
the police and many OF the rioters were
wounded.
The prefect complains that the trouble
arose from the fact that the bi-loD
did not advise him that the procession
was to be held. thus not allowing him TO
take timely measures to protect those
who took part in it.
