NO CURPEW BELL FOR CHESTER.
The Ordinance Sent Hack to Ihc
Committee to Die
Chester, Pa., Jan. 111. The curfew or
dinance came up in common council to
night and Councilman Lilly stiongly
pleaded for It and foretold Us good re
sults, fortifying his arguments by doc
uments collected from every city in the
Union where the curfew Is in foico.
Councilman Hart replied thnt if the or
dinance Is to become a lnw It would be
well to build a stone wall mound the
city und label It "Penitentiary."
Couiuiltnen Boss, Dlckerson, Crelgh
ton, While and W. S. Blekeley spoke
iigulnst the curfew, while J. II. Hleke
