IMPORTANT DECISION ABOUT INCOME REVENUES
In the case OF the United states va. William Il.
Frost, Indictment for false income return for 1893,
the jury have returned verdict Of not guilty. If
appeared that Mr.. Frost's return for that year
showed an income OF about $4,000. The govern
men claimed that there ought TO have been returned
about $4,000 In addition. The defence set up was
that this sum was exempted from taxation AZ bad
debts. The case turned on law point Judge
Drummond decided that man was NOT
bound to return as income debts or promises
TO pay, but was only required 70 return the
gains, profits or income OF his business
actually received. He thought 1t would be unrea-
sonable on tho part Of the government to require
man to pay tax on promise TO pay or mere
debt when neither might be collected, especially
the party would have no recourse upon the govern
mcnt TO recover the amount so paid. The court In
structed the jury that they would be justified In find
ing the party not guilty under the opinion which he
had lntimatcd, although he desired 40 to qualify IL
ns to state that II person had note account
due him, and he neglected TO collect when II ma
turcd or refused the money when rendered or u he
received other property In exchange for the sum due
and In liquidation OF the Indebtedness, then ne

THE BALL SEAsOg.

Our city during the past week has been unprece-
dentedy lively with Terpschorean festivities The
votaries OF the nimbe-fo0ted goddess have been re-
called during the last six nights with greater num-
Der OF masquerades, full dress receptions and civic
and military balls than were probably ever before
held in this city within the same length OF time,
and each and every one OF these AFFAIRS 1t is
but just to add passed or in q manner which
reflects the highest credit upon those who
were entrusted with their management. Twenty
nine balls, hops and receptions were held In this
city alone from Monday to Friday night, inclusive
besides several similar affairs Of some note which
were given for the entertainment Of our cousins in
Jersey City and Brooklyn 1t lie estimated that at
least 10000 persons attended these festive gather
