Col. Albert A. Pope, the pioneer
bicycle manufacturer of the United

in Cohasset, last Friday.
Colonel Pope had been in i'll

ing down of his nervous system,
which followed the financial embar-
rassrnent of his bicycle company,
which had its headquarters at Hart
ford, Conn.
He was born in Boston in 1874
and started his business career as a
clerk in shoe findings store at s.
per week.
He served in the civil war with
marked distinction. At the close
of the great struggle he was brevet-
ted lieutenant colonel of the Thirty
fifth Massachusetts, infantry for gal
liant conduct.
In 1876 the first imported bicy-
cles began to make their appearance
in this country, and Colonel Pope,
who was quick to see the possibili
ties of the wheel, decided to start
manufacturing them.
The venture proved a success
from the start. A craze for bicy-
cling swept over the country, and in
the very first few years of his busi
ness Colonel Pope amassed for.

cycle boom few years ago, how
ever, caused him financial embar,

There were 900 births and 1913
deaths in Scranton in July. While
the Times of that city rejoices In
The big birth rate, it deplores the
nnsanitary condition which caused
the death of 90 infants during the
month. Register Robert M. Heany,
who has charge of the records,
beamed with JOY as he noted that
the boys outnumbered the girls,
,he figures being I67 to I33. The
Register gave out these further
facts: 1T is also remarkable that
the general birth rate has increased
of late. Although the present ad-
ministration did not take office
until last April S, the record for
the year thus far is $500 births, as
compared with only $500 for the
whole of 1908, when Mayor DIM
mick, oe Green Ridge, was in office.
Moreover, last July had larger
total of births than the same month
OF the preceding year, the record
being 800 to 2o2."

Cheap Watermelons.

Philadelphia is experiencing the
greatest glut ever known in the
watermelon market. Never before
have dealers in this luscious pro-
duct of the creeping vine handled
them in such quantities and so
cheaply. Up to a late hour Satur-
day night hucksters, who had
bought heavily on account of the
drop in prices, carried them
through the streets For 10 cents
the thrifty housewife secured a
choice 25-pound melon. Smaller
ones vent begging at a nickel.
The cause of this was a large
ver-shipment from North Carolina.
Prevailing prices in Bloomsbury
are twenty-five to forty cents, and
even at these prices the dealers
claim that there is very little profit.

Fiendish Robbers Fire Victims Home
Bind and Gag Husband and Wife After Beat
ing Former Into lnsensibiliiy.

Clarence Berlew, a West Pittston
merchant, and his family had a
thrilling experience at the hands of
four masked burglars at an early
hour Monday morning. Berlew
and his wife were bound and gag
gep and a wallet containing $265
taken from beneath the mattress of
their bed. After setting fire to the
building, evidently to conceal the
cruel robbery, the burglars made
god their escape.
Berlew, his wife and two-year-
old son occupy fiat above his gro
cery store. AT I o'clock that morn-
ing he was awakened and confronted
by the masked men in his bed
room. They commanded him to
arise and open the safe in his store.
Berlew Informed them there was no
money in it and denied having any
elsewhere in the place.
This angered the burglars, and
one Of them grabbed the sleeping
child from his cot and hurled him
to the floor.
At sight of this inhuman treat
ment of his son, Mr.. Berlew leape1
at the masked man and received a
blow on the head with a club.
The thieves left one man who
guarded the couple and searched
the house, procuring silverware and
small trinkets. Failing to find
money they we're after they return
ed to the room, threw Berlew on
the floor and gave him three min
utes in which to tell where the
money was hidden. Mrs. Berlew,
overcome with flight, told the men
the money was under the mattress
and they got the wallet, which con-
taiued S265.
When he awoke, a couple of
hours later, he lay in bed his hands
tied behind his back, his legs bound
in three places and a wash-rag
stuffed in his mouth for gag. His
wife was in similar plight.
The room was filling with smoke
and with almost superhuman
strength he broke the clothes-line
rope which bound his hands, and
then with his pocket knife freed his
feet.
Grabbing his wife under one arm
and his child under the other, he
made for the stairway, but wa:
driven back by smoke and flames
and finally sought refuge on the
porch roof and aroused the neigh
borhood.
John Scureman, a Carnegie med
al hero, was first to respond, ant
with a small ladder managed te
reach the porch and brought the
child to safety. The fire company
then rescued Berlew and his wife
the burglars meanwhile having
made good their escape. The fire
loss is $1,000.
| Shortly before noon four tramp:
were arrested in a railway yard or
suspicion. They claim to be limo
