encountering no resistance.
The federals approached the town
from the south and east during the
early hours, coming In slowly and cau-
tiously lest they encounter an am
bush. Great was the surprise OF the
commanders of the government troons
on finding when they reached the outer
works OF the rebel entertainments that
the trenches had been abandoned ana
no insurrectos were in sight.
The federals continued to come IN
still more slowly, presumably expect
ing at every moment to encounter a
surprise, but they found no rebels
anywhere. The latter had vanished
as completely as the night.
There was no indication even Of the
direction they had taken. THE rea-
son for their evacuation OF she city
after their all day defense OF il was
not at first apparent. The most logical

BIG BONUS
Employees Get Bonuses for
Steel Shares.

The late special bonus of S21 IS
that was paid to employees of the
Oliver Iron Mining company who
subscribed for the 1906 issue of
steel corporation stock, and who
still hold their shares, makes total
returned to date of $S1.35. The
price of the stock issued to employees
in 1906 was $106.04, so that the
returns on the stock in the shape
of extra bonus, annual bonus and
dividends brings the cost to the
subscribers down S24.69 per share
at the present time. The price of
steel preferred now shows the sub
scribers fine profit as it is selling
around $11S.5O per share.
The extra bonus is the second
largest ever paid by the corpora
ton. The largest was on the issue
of 1908, which tota1ed $65.O4. The
1908 issue was sold to employees at
the rate of $3.50 per share. The
return on this investment has been,
in addition to the So5.O4 extra
bonus, S25 in yearly bonus and
$50 III dividends, total of S146 .O4.
which, added to the present market
value of the stock gives an aggre-
gate of over $3.50. The extra
bonus money comes from the ac-
cumulation ofbonuses and dividends
on stock subscribed by employees
who have dropped out the past FIVE
years. There is bonus of SIS a
year in addition to the regular
dividends, and the accumulation OF
both constitutes a special fund suf-
fcient to make a very desirable
! distribution to those who retain
holdings and who constitute a large
percentage of the investors.
