THE LIQUOR LICENSES.
The Total Number Filed Is Seventy-two
Sliort of r.nnt Vrnr,
Yesterday was tlio Inst day for flline ap-
plications for retail nnd wholcsalo liquor
licenses and it was a busy day for tho Clerk
of the Courts, who kept his ofllco open until
eleven o'clock last night to accommodate
tardy applicants. During the day 410 appli
cants wero filed, making tho total cumber
this year 1110, or a decrease of 72 over last
year.
The falling off In the number of applicants
Is attributed to the poor business during tho
past year, many of tho saloon men barely
clearing expenses wbllo others went behind.
Especially was this true of many of those
doing business In Shentndoah.
Tho totnl number of applications (lied this
year from Shenandoah is 172, divided In tho
several wards as follows : First ward, 00 j
Second, 30 : Third, 40; Fourth, 10; Fifth,
SO, This is a decrease over last year of
seventeen.
Last year tliero wero filed 16!) applications
from this town, as follows: Iirst ward 00,
same as this year ; 'Second 31, a decrease of
four; Third 51, a decrease of eight; Fourth
10, snmo as tills year ; Fifth 31, a decrcaso of
five; total decrcaso for this year, 17,
Somo of theso may not sccuro their licenses,
but figuring on a total of 172, tho full num
ber, the borough will receive much less than
it did last year Irom this sourco of rovoiiue.
Thero is considerable soeculation as to what
course thoso gentlemen who constitute "Tho
Law and Order Society" will take In filing rn
monstrances. Quito a numhor of thoso who

Message.
ERE IN SEARCH OF BIALECKI.
Ileys. Yards and Houses Known to bs
the Fugitive's Old Haunts Were
Carefully Searched, But the
Tip a Messenger CUvo
Failed.
Tho excitement occasioned several weeks
ago when Constahlo Daudo was shot and
killed, was revived to some extent last night,
when a messenger Informed tho police that
llialecki, tho constable s murderer, uad been
seen on West Strawbeny alley. Sovorul of
the police got togetherand summoned tothcir
assistance one or two people woll acquainted
ith tho fugitive, and then tho hunt com
menced.
Tho first precaution taken was to plnco a
man at every avenue or approach to tho
placo where Ulateckl was supposed to have
been seen, after which every alley and yard
wero carefully searched without success.
Houses were then visited, and twouty or
more, where it was believed tho man might
possibly bavo been sheltered, were carefully
examined, but no clue was found. The
polico then gavo up the search, satisfied that
tho party who had given tho tip was
victim of a delusion.
Later a report gained circulation that
llialecki had been caught, but succeeded lu
again escaping from tho police. This, how
ever, originated from some people who wero
nclined to cast a mantle of ridicule over the
affair to the prejudice of the officers.
The fact is that no clue to tho man has been
secured since the murder, notwithstanding
the scores of telegrams and largo number of
photographs of the fugitive!1 witk which the
country has beeu flooded. Nor has anything
transpired to warrant tho belief that llialecki
has beon near tho town bIuco the night lie
left it. Last night's affair was a puro hoax.
and llialecki is still among tho missing.

Chicago, Dec. 13. Tho ordinance ex
tending the franchises of the Chlcngo
Btrcet Car companies for 60 years cume
up in the city council last night and
was referred to the council committee
m railroads. On all votes touching the
'Hdlnance the friends of the measure
A-ere in a strong minority, and unless
hey can muster much greater strengtu
here Is no probability that they will
ver be able to pass It over the veto
of Mayor Hurrisun.
Contrary to general expectation, ther
was little excitement around the city
hall, and although the council cham
ber was packed to suffocation and a
crowd filled the outside corridors the
number of people present was but lit
tle larger than usual. The crowd was,
however, against the franchise propo
sition to a man, nnd made no pretense
of keeplnf? Its convictions a secret. Ad
herents of the franchise were openly
hissed when they attempted to gain -i
point for their measure, and loud yells
greeted the announcement of the vote
by which the ordinance was referred.
Alderman Melnerney made a speech
to a certain extent defying the spirit
shown by the galleries, and from that
time to the adjournment he was the
object of numerous remarks from the
outsiders, many of them being warmly
personal. The crowd, however, was
good natured. and there were no dem
onstrations. The railroad committee.
which now hps the ordinance In charge,
Is composed c 13 members, 11 o whom
voted last night as friends of fran
chise extension.
Alderman Walsh was first In bringing
up the franchise question. He lter
rupted the regular order of business
In the council with a motion that the
vote of the last session committing the
franchise extension ordinance to the
Joint committees in streets and alleys
west, north nnd south, be reconsidered.
He was ruled out of order on thtf
ground that the rules had not been sus
pended and the regular order of busi
ness should obtain.
Some routine matters were soon put
out of the way, and Alderman Maltby.
a strong opponent of the extension of
the franchises, Jumped up with a mo
tion that no ordinance whatever ex
tending existing street railway fran
chises shall be passed, and that no
proposals to that end shall be enter
tained until the so-called Allen law
shall have been repealed.
This brought on the fight In earnest,
and In a second a half dozen aldermen
were on their feet, shouting and ges
ticulating In frantic efforts for rec
ognition by the mayor. He gave the
floor to Alderman Walsh, who had In
troduced the first franchise motion of
the evening. Alderman Walsh asked
Alderman Maltby to withdraw his mo
tion temporarily, as he wished to in
troduce a resolution providing that tin?
vote by which the ordinance granting
an extension of franchises to the street
car companies of the city of Chicago
was referred to a Joint committee he
I'pcnnpl'lered.
A'. 'i i, "i", by vl Nlr. v his ien-
lutlon r nd the motion of Alderman
Walsh was !ofi!e 'V," h u"-.
"I rrove It '.o laid nn the table,
shouted Aldermen O'Hrlen. who Is
champion of the car campanles.
The motion was lost by a vote of :
tn 37.
The vote for a reconsideration was
then carr'ed by 37 to 20. This was the
Prst 'est of Rtrer-:h. nnil the foes of
the extension were in high glee.
Immediately after the passage of Al
derman Wp'h's motion to reconsider
Mayor Harrison referred the ordinance
to the municipal committee on rail
roads. Debate then followed upon the motion
of Alderman MaMbv shutting off pns
e ,.c. , t -i-iv o"iitnnrii'o 'unking to the
extension of local siieei car franchise
"until after the repeal of the Allen
law." Tho alderman moved a suspen
sion of the rules to permit considera
tion of his motion, but was defeated by
a vote of 38 to 25. The ordinance was
then formally referred to the commit
