1AA1 LICENSE Ar UNION PARK.


VIII he Acted on Recommendations
Reasons why the License should Be
Granted to Christopher II. Pfrommer.
Tomorrow the judges of the upper
court will cit In Judgment on those
licenses which have been applied for, and
against which strong remonstrances
have been filed The most import
ant Is that OF Christopher 4.
Pfrommer, who wants license
to sell at Union Park during
the coming season. and a strong fight is
anticipated on both sides. The opposi
tion IL is claimed, comes from those who
know nothing OF the park except mere
rumor. and would not oppose the grant
ing OF license II they were conversant
Of the facts. On the other hand It Is
claimed that in the past. beer has been
sold without license at the park, and IL
would be a wise thing to grant license
both as a guarantee that the park would
then be under tine management Of q
responsible party, and that the good Of
the public and the peace and safety Of
the general public would be best served
by granting the petition Of Mr. Pfrom'
mer.
The appiiant IL a we'll known COM
mission merchant doing business at No
4lS West FRONT street. and has the re-
putstion OF being a law abiding and
conscientious citizsn aud tax payer, and
there Ia no doubt that In his hands Union
Park will be run In au orderly manner.

Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
NEW CASTLE. March For nearly a
fortnight, Joseph Clark, who has com
pleted his sentence of three years in
prison, has been actively engaged with a
Philadelphia reporter, G. w Symonds,
10 some scheme that is intended to work
10 the advantage Of Clark's parents.
Edward and Mary Clark, the parents Of
Joseph. It will be remembered were
convicted Of conspiracy against the
DuPonts In 1891 and Mary Clark
was sentenced to eight years,
her husband getting of with a seven
year sentences. The case was tried after
much deliberation on the part Of the
state and careful work OF Attorney
General Biggs snd his assistants. who
are also said to have worked In con.
junction with Levi Q. Bird, attorneys
Tor the DuPonts. The Clarks, however.
husband, wife and son, were convicted
on January 81, 1892, and Mrs. ClRrk's
time will not expire until 1900.
Edward Clark has frequently en-
deavored to interest newspaper men or
detectives In his case claiming that they
were unjustly convicted and that he and
his unfortunate wife were victims Of a
far greater conspiracy than they we're
charged with being accomplices In.
Reporter Symonds. who recently had
an experience tramping around this
neighborhood impersonating Lord de la
War;, Is said 30 have obtained seven
siiidsvits from persons who were con
cerned in the trial and persons who were
not and these affidAvits set forth that
the Clarks are victims OF a gigantic
conspiracy, that their liberty was fslsel y
sworn away and that their con vlction
woald not stand the test in any higher
court.
