Inside the next ten years this country will

"Gold King" because Of the magnitude
OF his gold mining properties in North
Wales. Mr.. Morgan had Just arrived in

he will sail for England to be present at the

PHuApEIPHIA. June 1.-THE Union Traction
Company, which operates the consolidated lines
OF street railway in PhilAdelnh!a by overhead
wires, has found another Legacy OF deb: that
came unawares when the consolidation WAS eff.
fecied two years ago.
In 1892 the street railway corporations OF the
city asserted that their stations were public
property and exempt from taxation. The city
assessed taxes against them and fled liens
against them with multiplying costs and inter.
est, and a short time ago a decree BY Judce
Wilson in one of the local courts settled the
matter in favor OF the FAX collector.
The railway companies agreed TO settle I'D
with the delinquent TAX collector to-day. some
$2o,ooo but the amount in arrears for former
years aggregates more than 500.

PARAMOUNT PARK SNAKES.
a Bunch or MS Run Out OF . Burning Cherry
Tree-Au Were Killed.

PHILADELPHIA. June ll.-No fewer than l1s
snakes were killed in Paramount Park last SUM-
day. A wild cherry tree, which had caught fire
at Belmont avenue and Georges Hill drive, in
West Park, about 10 o'clock. was cut down
while still burning by two laborers. who had
been summoned by a park guard. There was a
crowd at the scene. A bunch OF snakes, old
snakes and little baby snakes, deprived OF their
home in the decayed tree. made their way out
and wriggled as fast as they could to a clump OF
bushes near by. Women and children screamed
and ran away, but the park guard and the la
borcrs armed themselves with clubs and tackled
the snakes.
When the clubbing was over. by actual count.
lis snakes had been killed. Here and there a
siy snake would play possum and pretend he
was dead when he was only half dead. and when
he thought no one was looking would creep and
edge away. But the men finished them before
they got away.
Gen. Thayer. superintendent OF the park, was
driving by At the time. and he was TO
the scene; He was nonplussed as to what had
brought the snakes there in such large number,
and why they had made their home in the
cherry tree. What caused the tree TO catch fire
is also q mystery.
