NO CAUSE IS KNOWN.
Serious Run on Pennsylvania Trust
 Company at Reading.

-
 READING, Pa, Nov. 1S.-A serious run was started yesterday on the Penn ssylvania Trust company, the cause of which the company's officials say they aeannot understand. There had been a humber of withdrawals of deposits auring the past few days, and when the bank opened long line of depos- itors pressed forward for their money. This was especially noticeable of de positors in the savings department of the bank.
 4 Every facility was offered by the bank officials for the quick payment of the clamoring depositors, and all were paid as rapidly as possible. All were assured that the bank was perfectly solvent and had ampl funds to meet any demands. To further emphasize 2 this claim the bank was kept open un- til o'clock, one hour beyond the cus- tonary closing time.
 It was the general opinion that the worst of the run was over. The bank officials, however, say they will con tinue today and at all times to prompt- ly return the money of all dissa tisfled 0epositors. About $10O, GOO has been paid out.
 The officers ascribe the run to ma licious persons. To allay the fears of depoSitors the company has published . statement which covers a period of nine years. During that time, the statement said, the assets have increas- ed from $S88, ,s5S to 92,7e2, ,2s1, the de posits from ssT8,855 to $1,77o,s51 and the capital surplus and undivided prof its from S8S2, ,665 to $621, ,480..
 Late in the day the Reading clear ing house met and decided to extend the Pennsylvania Trust company all financial assistance 1t needed.

A Shock For MiniMters.

The members of the general synod of the German Protestant church recently sitting in Berlin received series of shocks the day the subject of dueling came up. A motion was submitted de- claring the practice of dueling to be sinful and demanding its complete abo- lition, which was a sacred duty on the part of the church to secure. The chairman of the committee which dis cussed the motion was Graf Stosch. He startled his hearers by declaring that despite his advanced age the only way in which he as a man of honor could resent an insult was by duel. Another prominent lay member, Herr von Gerlach, said similar things. The motion, however was carried by 8 very large majorifv

SIXTEENTH ANNIVERSARY.
Five Lodges of N. B. o. P. Present
 Last Night.

Last Night.
 Anchor lodge, No 40, N. E. O. F., did herself proud last night as hostess for the celebration of the 16th anniversary of the order. The five different lodges of Waterbury were well represented and Grand Treasurer Drew of An sonia and Deputy Wall of New Haven were also present, Many remarks from the visitors were heard, but the address of the grand treasurer was one of the features of the evening. He spoke of the noble work of the order, what it had done since its organiza- ion and what it would do for those who are not members. The order IS a hourishing one, having grown in the sixteen years from 30 to 36,0OO mem- bers and having paid in death bene- fits over $4.0OO,0OO. Deputy Walls many witty remarks were heartily app1auded. One candi- date was initiated and one application was received. The degree team per- formed the work with that thorough ness and perfection that has placed them on top as a degree team of the order. The new robes used for the first time were creations of art. Many spontaneous bursts of applause and highly complimentary remarks were heard during the execution of the floor work, and the drill master, Henry Ba- ker. and staff can feel very well pleased with their efforts. Dancing followed the meeting and ref"esll- ments were served.
