GEISSLER SON, 731 Penn Street KG BICE (Continued from First Page.) driven wider than the leaders, came along, dividing the crowd, one part ot which, when the warning was given, made for tlief Inside of the track, while the other pressed back toward the fence in front of the grandstand. Mr.

Miller estimated the crowd on the track at fully 3.000, and said a man on horseback and several others tried to press the crowd back. The testimony of A. H. Kretz, the starting Judge of the races; was almost identical with that submitted by Mr. Miller.

Mr. Kretz said the crowd on the track was fully 2,000, and that he had warned them that if they persisted in remaining on the track, that cident that would happen would be their own fault. Witness said a marshal and a number of watchmen tried to keep the crowd back. James McGowan, president, of the se ciety, testified as to the provisions that had been made to keep; the: track clear. The men detailed to duty; he said, were Marshal K.

Morris, William Pry, John Stettler, Prank Mease and William Northcjmer, th'e latter having been chief of the watchmen. E. Morris, who served as track marshal, estimated the crowd on the track at from 800 to 1,000, and said he was assisted by four or five men in an effort to keep the crowd back. The crowd, lt ness said, was too large for the force of watchmen to handle. William Northeimer testified that he had placed four assistants on the track to keep it clear of people.

William Fry and Hlester Obold, watchmen, told of the efforts made to keep back the crowd. P. Setdel Throm, secretary of the society, knw nothing as to the arrangements for keeping the race track clear of people, that duty devolving upon other members of the society. Harry Rhelnsmith and Arthur Kink, the latter clerk of the course, testified that Yelch was first struck by Ivanhoe and thrown in the path of Ben Fisher. The Jury, after deliberation, rendered the following verdict: "We, the Jury, agree that the "above named came to his death from Injuries received by being struck by a racing hoi se and sulky, on the trackPrif the fair grounds of the Beks County Agricultural Society, on "JjWrsday afternoon, Oct.

1, 1903, while' the said Edward P. Yeich, with a few thousartd more persons, was standing on the track watching the races. "We believe, from an examination of the evidence, that the Berks 'bounty Agricultural Society did not observe 'the requisite precautions in policing the track and thereby preventing the patrons of the fair from crowding into the said track."

To tfie Stockholders of the MONTELLO BRICK COMPANY cr and MONTEIIX) BRICK WORKS: 3 At each dividend period, when stockholders open their envelopes and receive their divi dend checks, they like to receive some information concerning the investment. The Montello Brick Works pays to the Montello Brick Company a rental of $63,000 a4 year, in quarterly payments, as follows: On January ist, Rental, 15,000, 3 per cent, on Preferred. April ist, 16,500, 3 per cent, on 550,000, Common. "July ist, 3 per cent, on 500,000, Preferred. October ist, 16,500, 3 per cent, on 550,000, Common.

Total 63,000 The Montello Brick Works, having no mortgage or bonded indebtedness to provide for, sets aside and deposits in a separate hank account each month, out of the net earnings, the sum of $6,500, the moathly proportion of all rentals. This is the most substantial form of guarantee to the stockholders of the Montello Brick Company, the Preferred and Common being treated alike in this respect. The guaranteed dividend being set apart each month out of the actual earnings makes both the Preferred and Common Stocks as good as guaranteed bonds. The Montello Brick Works, with a capital of $1,500,000. with all its real estate, buildings and machinery, clear of incumbrance, and its'large earning capacity, is sufficient guarantee to make these stocks command a high premium.

The values are two to one, and tiie earnings are more than two to one in point of security both jas to principal and interest. No bonds of any kind can be made safer. No mortgage can be better secured. No stocks can be made a better investment, and no real estate is half as desirable as an investment. We now offer these guaranteed stocks for sale at $60 per share, and very few people will sell at that price.

A six per cent, guaranteed stock such as the Montello Brick Company "will not be long in the market, except at higher prices. We advise all persons to buy these stocks and lay them away for permanent invest ment. Nothing better. Clothing sater. strongly suggest the safeguards of Why trifle wtth Fire? Let us carry the risk.
