Cannot Tax Ball Parks.

A decision was reached in court
at Wilkes Barre on Monday affect
ing the interests of the Wilkes
Barre Athletic Park, and no doubt
will have bearing on other parks
in this Commonwealth. The case
is entitled borough of Dorranceton
VS.. Wilkesbarre Athletic Park COM
pany. The finding reads Judg-
ment not sustained because, First,
the ordinance does not fix the maxi
mum limit to the fine which is
unreasonable, that may be imposed
for its violation. Second, the ordi-
nance is invalid because there is
no act of Assembly authorizing a
borough to impose a license and
enforce the collection of the same
upon and against the proprietor or
lessee of private park where the
game of base ball is played. Judg-
ment is reversed. Exceptions of
plaintiffs reversal of judgment were
filed.

FOUND $4,000 IN A BUREAU.
Brewer Left His Family Prepared for an
Emergency.
DRAWER FILLED WITH MONEY.

When an old bureau at the home of
John Arnold, a millionaire brewer,
who died at Hazeton, was opened
incidentally last week there was dis
closed snug fortune in ready cash
whose existence was unknown to the
family.
A member of the family was max
ing search for some documents per-
tanning to the brewers estate, and
drew out bureau drawer in the hope
that her search might end there. For
an instant she was unwilling to be-
lieve her eyes were not deceiving her.
Tucked away in the drawer were
packages of greenbacks and bank
bills, held down by heavy bags, out of
which, when they were opened, rolled
gold and silver coin.
When the family recovered from
their surprise they summoned H. w.
Jacobs, who was Mr.. Arnold's conf
dental book-keeper. Mr.. Jacobs
thumbed over the paper money and
counted the coin out in piles, and
found that the contents of the bureau
drawer footed up$se,ooo. He carried
the money to the bank and deposited
it to the credit of the estate. 1t is
supposed Mr.. Arnold secreted the
money at his house to be prepared for
any immediate emergency.
The find was a surprise 20 every
one connected with the family, as Mr..
Arnold was never known to keep any
large amount of money in the house.
Mr.. Jacobs, however, remembers Mr.
Arnold telling him some time ago
that if ever anything occurred he
should look in this bureau drawer,
but he had forgotten all about it and
never expected to unearth any money.
