FEWER LIQUOR LICENSES.
Upwards of n Hundred I.m Flint ThU
Yrnr Than Lnnt Year.
Pottsvillo, Dec 12 It was near midnight
when Clerk of tho Courts Shoener closed bis
ofllce last night. This was done to aeeomrao
iate auy belated applicants for llqoor licenses
and as usual there were many. Yesterday
was tbe last day to file applications ami when
tbe ofileo closed there were 1000 applications
on file. Thero is a falling off of upwards of a
11 unit red rrom last year, when there wore
1117 applications. There were but 575 appli
cations made up until last Saturday evculnir.
so that about ore-half of the entire number
of applications were filed yesterday.
Thero are several reasons for the falling
off, one of them being, there are too many
licensed places, aud in many town; it was a
case of tbo survival of tho fittest. As a re
sult few saloonkeepers made money last year,
notwithstanding tbe fact that boor is sold
wholesale much cheaper than a year ago.
However the fact that one hundred less ap
plications appear this year will not ho no
ticeable, not an average of one to each dis
trict. So far as Sbenaudoah Is concerned, there is
an Increase of applicants thlsyearover that
of last year. In 1893 there was a total of
173 applications filed, and onlv four nt thvm
were refused, thus making 100 granted. This
year there aro 170 applications on filo with
the Clerk of tbo Courts, an iucreaso of three
over last year.

parison of the accidents for 1809 with tbo

siderable decrease, though tbe fatal accidents
were the same iu number.

Ilrltoim Have Yielded to the Iloem,
Over Fire Hundred IIcIiik Killed.
London, Dec. 12. No further official
news has been received to remove the
mystery overhanging General Gat
acre's retreat from Stormberg. He hag
not yet forwarded the promised ad
ditional message, and the censorship
has prevented the correspondents from
explaining the matter. While it ap
pears to be generally admitted that
General Gatacre Is Inclined to over
work his men. Lord Durham's re
marks are considered aa in rather bad
tasto. Until General Gatacre has given
his explanation It is felt that consider
able allowanco must be made for the
extreme difficulty of getting intelli
gence In a country whose Inhabitants
are in strong sympathy with the
enemy.
Stormberg Is described as a stronger
position than Lalnga Nek. Tho only
road winds through lofty hills and
flanking Is Impossible. Colesberir la
also said to be an almost Impregnable
position, and as no troops are avail
able to reinforce the columns acting
in those directions. It becomos evi
dent that General Gatacre's misfor
tune or error will delay the Invasion
of the Free State perhnps some weeks.
It Is exceedingly probable' that he will
be compelled to retire on Queenstown
nnd to wait for reinforcements, which
can hardly reach him until Sir Charles
Warren's division arrives at the cape.
The first detachments will sail Satur
day next. Even If General French Is
not compelled to retreat he will be
obliged to pause In his advance.
No news has yet been received con
firming the Boer report of the capture
of GO prisoners at Modder Hlver from
Lord Methuen'a column.
It la Just two months since tho
Transvaal ultimatum was delivered.
Nine engagements have been fought
and the Drltlsh have lost 50fl killed,
2,027 wounded and 1,977 missing or
prisoners.
The war ofllce has Issued a notice
that after Jan, 1 a deduction will be
made from the pay of soldiers serv
ing in South Africa In the case of
privates, four pence per day for wives,
and a penny for each child; In the
case of sergeants, 3 pence for wives
and 2 pence for each child. The order
indicates a belief that tho campaign
will be a long one.
It Is announced from Cape Town
that the Boers have succeeded In re
pairing the Leuwfonteln bridge, be
tween Stormberg and Burghersdorp,
which the British had destroyed on
retiring.
A Pretoria dispatch says that G72
British prisoners were taken at Storm
berg, and that the Boers captured three
British guns.
In tho fighting at Modder Hlver Sun
day evening General Cronjo maintain
ed his position and captured 50 British
soldiers.
The sortie at Kimberley last Sat
urday was an attempt to take the
Boer position at Kamperdam and to
secure the water works. All the Brit
ish shots fell short.
Details are expected from the Boer
outposts In the direction of Modder
River. "There Is a report that the
British aro advancing on the plain, and,
heavy fighting is anticipated. General
Prlns Loo and General Cronje com
mand the Boer forces.
The following dispatch has boon re
