1t Is with great pleasure that am able to state
that the financial condition of our COMPANY has
been greatly improved, rs will be seen by cOmpar-
Increase In the value of some of our property is
very encouraging and adds confidence TO an al
ready well established rule-"That real estate
class Of investments"
Notwithstanding our brief existence as a cor
pOratiun we have passed the stage of experiment.
has been proved that the CLAIMS set forth as an
inducement for the associates to INCORPORATE have
been more than realized. With the increase of
capital from the association Of 81 600 OOO 90 10
capital OF $4,000 10000 as a corporation, it has
been enabled to buy for cash at greatly reduced
rates, and it has also greatly reduced the ex-
Denses and improved our earning power.
During tn past year the company paid SI.75
quarterly per share and ST. extra dividend De-
cember !, making $500 per share in 1890. With
the continued success now attending this compa-
~ we may hope for similar success in 1891.
During the past six months shares have sold at
premium of IRONS to SIS per share. On January
9th. the price will be advanced toS OF per share

Being Hanged


HAzLEToN, Pa, July 90.-When Giu-
seppe De Comali, accused of the murder
of Katie dorgano, stepped of the train at
the depot he saw q crowd of excited peo-
pie that blocked up the platform and
extended across the street.
When the crowd caught sight of him
they made a rush and cries of Lynch

The officers who had him in charge
were pushed against the car with their
prisoner, and all the crowd wanted to
carry out their purpose was leader.
The police after considerable difficulty
succeeded in pushing their way through
and hurried Coman into one of the up
per rooms of the depot, where he was
given q hearing. The evidence against
him. is mainly circumstantial. He was
held in s., 900 bail.

come to Hazleton and hack him to
pieces. The mine officials succeeded in

A Wealthy Citizen Found Per-

SENSATION IN JEANNETFE, Pa.
Two Of the Gang Implicated in the Kid
mapping Arrested

They Are Captured After a Shooting Con-
hlct Behind Trees-A Belief that Other
Missing Persons VIII be Found Dead or
Alive in the Den-A Thorough Search
to be made In the Morning.
GREENsBURG, Pa, July 30.-Joel Moore,
wealthy citizen Of Jeannette, who
mysteriously disappeared several days
ago, was discovered during the morning
lying half famished and nearly persisted
in a damp cave in lonely ravine some
distance south of that place. He was
tenderly carried home, but suffering
severely from starvation and the ex-
posture from which he had undergone.
The whereabouts of the old gentleman
was disclosed by the arrest of Joseph and
Madison Johnston, the two notorious
speak-easy proprietors, who were cap
tured through the extraordinary efforts
of five officers after a shooting conflict
from behind trees
The Johnston brothers had been ter
rorizing the community for over q year,
and their headquarters south of jean
nette had been a loaf1ng place for
toughs of a most desperate character
On the evening of the disappearance of
Mr.. Moore he was seen in the company
of one of the Johnstons. He was KIN own
to have large some of money with him,
and when he failed to return homo that
night hissfriends became greatly alarmed
and at once instituted a search.
ALI sorts of dark rumors began to be
circulated. The officials finally made a
descent upon the Johnston place, and
the two brothers were captured, together
with several of their associ ates. One of
the men taken became frightened at the
threats of the officers and revealed the
place where the old man was hidden.
His money was gone and he had been
roughly treated. If he had not been dis
| covered death would have soon occurred.
These revelations have caused an as
tonishing sensation. During the last
| six months there have been severalHm ys-
| terious disappearance from Jeanette
and vicinity. A searching party, accom-
panied by officers, Is to make a thorough
search of the cave and ravine in the
| morning in the hope of making addition
| al discoveries.
In the effort to arrest the Johnston
brothers 4 Constable Wetshon's officers,
Pitts and Fritz of Jeanette, and County
Detective Alcorn, had lively work Madt-
son was arrested without any trouble,
but Joe resisted and fed behind big
tree. Drawing revolver he compelled
Wetshon and Alcorn to get behind
| trees. About a dozen shots were ex-
changed before Joe's ammunition ran
| out. He and Madison were then brought
here and placed in jail, Joe being held in
| 81 200 and Ma Olson in $500 bail.

Perhaps you don't quite understand
the meaning of "broken lots" as ap-
piled to clothing 1t means a suit not
all made up from the same piece of
goods. 1t doesn't mean that the trous-
ers won't harmonic with the coat or
that any one of the articles will be out
of place when worn with the other.
On the contrary, some exceedingly be-
coming combinations can be made at
prices that astonish the purchaser.
Broken lots and shattered prices go
together you will find if you call at
our store this month and want suit
for yourself or boy.
