RULED AeALSsr rHE STATE.
Tax on Personal Property OF Nationa
Banks Held TO Re illegal.

Tax on Personal Property Of National
Banks Held TO BE illegal.
CHAMBERsBURg, Pa, Oct. sS.-Judge Arch
ibald Of Scranton yesterday forwarded the
parliamentary OF Franklin county his opinion
in the case OF the National Bank of Cham
bersburg VS. William Gilwicks, ct al. The
case was one involving the right of the state
TO collect from the national banks the 4 mill
tax which il imposes on securities for money
at interest, whether held by individuals or
corporations, state or national. Up to 1891
no attempt was made by the state to collect
this tax from national banks, but in that
year the revenue law was so amended as to
subject these banks TO the tax. The
assessor here, w. l.. Gilwicks, accordingly
demanded OF the National Bank of Cham
bersburg a statement OF the securities held
by it In order to assess the tax. The bank,
on the ground that such state taxation was
illegal. fled a bill 10 restrain Its assessment.
Judge Stewart granted a preliminary in
junction against the assessment, and after
the defendants had answered the bill the
case was argued before Judge Archibald,
who now makes the injunction perpetual,
holding the tax TO be illegal. The Judge
holds that the national banks are agencies
of the national government and that. as con-
gress has allowed them to be taxed by the
states only in two particulars ION their real
estate and shares), a tax upon their per-
sonal property is beyond the states power.

Hoosier Farmers Selling Out and Prepar-
ing to Mine the Yellow Metal.
MARTISsvILLE, Ind, Oct. 2S.-For many
years people lave been finding bits of gold
in Morgan and Brown counties. but until a
few days ago it was never believed that it
could be found In paying quantities. Sew
eral months ago some old 40 miners went to
Brown county and began to wash gold by
hand from the gullies between the hills.
They were fairly successful.
The excitement has been increased by the
announcement that gold in paying quauti-
ties has oeen found in this Brown county,.
John Mccain, a wealthy citizen OF
this county, has become interested.
He Is here showing $50 worth
of gold in coarse particles. He will
take back with him a patent gold washer
and w. 5. Richards, an expert in gold min
ing. Mr.. Richards is one of the persons in
terested in the gold industry In Brown
county.
Several men have abandoned their farms
and are making q living gold hunting. John
Merriman recently sold about 500 worth.
h represented the labor of his family for
about a month. MIR. Richards says there is
a gold lead reaching through the hills four
teen miles. As soon as the machinery ordered
arrives he will develop this lead.
Foreigners are coming in and buying land.
The Pence brothers of Bartholomew county,
have bought largely and win mine an an ex-
tensive scale. Last week twelve farms
changed hands IN jackson township.

Archbl,hop K.tzer su,,a,ned.

Member Of the Independent Order Of
Good Templars express surprise at the in
formation contained in a press dispatch from
Milwaukee under date Of October 81. saying
that word has been received from Rome to
the effect that the order of Good Templars
has been placed under the ban so far as
Catholics are concerned.
Chief Templar Frazier of Wisconsin some
time z brought the matter before Arch
bishop Katzer, calling attention to the fact
that the London convention had refused to
allow Catholic members of the order to re-
veal the secrets of their order to their con-
fessors. The archbishop at that time said
he had decided TO oppose Catholics in his
diocese joining the order. Recently the
question was brought before the supreme
BODY of the church from Norway and a de-
cision has been given sustaining the position
taken by Archbishop Katzer.
The decision is of great Importance to
Catholics and secret societies generally.
The position of the Baltimore plenary coun-
Gil in the matter of secret societies is
thereby upheld by the holy see, even in the
face of confessions made by the representa-
tive orders so that the condemnation does
not refer merely to the order, but to the
principle that secret societies are inimical to
the welfare of the people.
