Court.
Twenty-one ‘department heads at tne
Edgar Thomson Steel Works, of the
Carnegie Company, at Braddock, have
received blocks of company stock rang-
ng from $30,000 to $60,000 each. In
tach efse the 5 per cent. interest guaran-
ved “on the bonds will produce an
amount™equal to the recipient's salary.
At other plants it is said similar awards
this purpose as rapidly as the department
heads are thought to deserve it. The
beneficiaries at Braddock have their pay
doubled by this arrangement, and in ad-
dition will have the principal of the
bonds when they are due. Camille Mer-
cader, chief draughtsman of the com-
pany, who is said to be a Hungarian
count, was given $75,000 worth of bonds.
One of the worst fires in the history
of Bradford occurred Friday morning.
It originated in the livery stable of
Frank P. Beamer and consumed a dozen
buildings, including the $35,000 city hall.
Thirty-seven horses in one livery stable
perished in the flames, and the $10,000
ibrary of Brown & Schoonmaker, city
fttorneys, was totally destroyed, to-
gether with valuable maps. The fire was
discovered at 3.30 A. M., and it burned
fiercely until 5.30, when the firemen gain-
ed control of the flames. The fire burned
buildings on three streets, Kennedy and
Boyleston streets and Patent avenue.
The loss is estimated at $150,000. The
tity records were in fireproof vaults and
were not damaged. .
.» While driving from Factoryville to
Scranton, John McAnulty had an ex-
citing experience with a bear which rush-
ed from the woods adjoining the road.
McAnulty had a quantity of meat in the
wagon and this first attracted the atten-
tion of bruin. While the bear was
munching the meat, McAnulty left his
horse and wagon and fled to a house
some distance away for help and a gun.
A crowd of hunters was organized, but
when they arrived on the scene bruin had
finished his meal and disappeared again
in the woods.
Miss Elizabeth Huey, of Reading, fell
dead in the drug store of John B. Raser
% Son. After the body had been re-
moved to the morgue three purses were
found on her person. Two of them
were sewed into the lining of her skirt.
In addition, gold and greenbacks were
concealed in various parts of her cloth-
ing. The money aggregated $700. Of
this $450 was in gold. Death was said
to have been caused by heart disease.

Company ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product,
which have commended it to the favorable consideration of the
most eminent physicians and to the intelligent appreciation of all
who are well informed in reference to medicinal agents.
Syrup of Figs has truly a laxative effect and acts gently with-
out in any way disturbing the natural functions and with perfect
freedom from any unpleasant after effects.
In the process of manufacturing, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, but the medicinally laxative principles of the
combination are obtained from plants known to act most bene-
