asked ofh tseh cmfw cmwfyp ypwy
asked for is the pavement of the south
side of the street between Franklin and
Broome and also curb and pave the
sidewalks between the two streets. The
north side of the street has already
been ordered paved and now the resi-
dents want the same thing done to the
south side. 1t is likely the request will
be granted after the property owners
in the thoroughfare curb and pave their
sidewalks.
Mr. Kurtz also requested the board
10 compel the property owners in Sec
ond street west of Scott to curb and
pave their sidewalks. He said that
children going and coming from Sill

walk i'm the street between the railway
tracks, a dangerous practice. Action

pavements will be ordered laid.

WHERE IS ALICE BRADLEY?
SUM OF MONEY IS DUE HER
Woman Has Disappeared
While Defunct Loan Is
StilLIndebted to Her

Mystery surrounds the whereabouts OF
Alice Bradley. who at one time lived in
this city and was a member of the Dia-
mond state Loan Association which has
been defunct for nearly fourteen years
At the time of the organization OF the
association business was brisk in this
city but as years rolled by the assets Of
the concern gradually dropped off until
it became necessary to disband the com
pany and reorganize it. This was done
with Edgar A. Finley as president and
Alfred Gawthrop treasurer. Later. how
ever, the company failed and it was voted
by the stockholders to give up the en-
terprise and divide the assets among the
holders pro ratio to their holdings
This was done and all shareholders were
located except Alice Bradley. whose
whereabouts have not been learned al
though repeated efforts have been made
to locate her.
The task has been made more difficult
by the fact that It cannot be recalled
whether the woman is white or a>
negress.
A peculiar circumstance in connection
with the case occurred several days ago
when a local newspaper published an ac-
count Of the death of Edgar A. Fin,ey
and in an adjoining column almost paral-
lei with it appeared an article relative
to a Mrs. Alice Bradley co,ored, Of Will
mington, having received injuries in At
lantic City by being run over by an om-
nibus while On an excursion to that place.
Although the amount due Alice Bradley
is not large It has been added to by the
accrued interest OF fourteen years.

CARSHOPS HAVE
OVER 1000 MEN
Almost Full Quota Now at
Work in Pennsy's Shops
at Todd's Cut
GREAT AMOUNT OF WORK TO Be DONE

From less than half a hundred en-
ployes three weeks ago, the force Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad shops at
Todds Cut has been augmented until
now it reaches about 2,2OO men.
In compliance with the retrenchment
policy the working force was reduced
gradually in all departments early in
the spring and was continued until
there were but a mere handful left.
This continued for some time until the
old employees became discouraged and
were about to give up their positions,
which meant they also had to give up
their membership in the relief which
is the railroad mans insurance. If they
were over thirty-five years old they
tould not be taken back to work again,
as one of the rules of the company for
bids the hiring of men older than
thirty-four years.
Just as it looked blacklist for them
the order came to have the shops re-
opened. Gradually the force has been
returned to their old places and the
whole Of the big works is now in full
swing repairing the hundreds of loco
motives and cars that have been dam
aged in one Of the busiest seasons the
company has ever had.
The impression has been given out
that only about 1,20O men were employ
ed at the big works. The additional
force means many thousands Of dol
lars each pay day that Will be put into

TENDENCY or ruE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world Is being given
to the subject. 1t Is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend
with. can be prevented by the use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of influenza (grip).
and 1t has been observed tat this
remedy counteracts any r Iency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases In which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years. and can be relied upon with inn
piicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no
danger Is apprehended until 1t Is sud
denly discovered that there Is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber
iain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold Is contracted. 1t always cures.
