AN accident occurred last month at an auction
sale in a private house in Birmingham. About fifty
people were assembled in the room where the sale
was proceeding, and a piano was under the hammer,
when the floor suddenly gave way, precipitating all
the people into a cellar beneath, a depth of ten feet.
A scene of great confusion followed, and it was not
until half an hour had elapsed that all were extri-
cated. Several were seriously hurt.

are ten designs of organs, several of them new and
registered. There are also designs of harmoniums
in various styles from Hi. 10«. to SOJ. retail. The
catalogue states that over 15,000 of the Hillier organs
are in use in all parts of the world, and that Mr*
James Hillier is in America for the purpose of pur"
chasing timber for the use of the company.—London

IT is rumored that dealers in certain parts ot
Pennsylvania are selling consigned goods below cost-
It is not necessary now to mention the names of the
dealers engaged in this practice, nor the names of
the manufacturers whose pianos they handle; it is
sufficient to say that Shamokin is one of the places
named.

WK are informed that Messrs. Heebner and Paul,
of Fort Carbon, Pa., buy their organ actions and
cases separately. The cases it is said are bought,
not set up, and unvarnished from a Connecticut
firm of manufacturers. They claim that shipping
in this way saves considerable on an organ, besides
advertising themselves as manufacturers.
MB. J. A. BATES, of Ludden & Bates, Savannah,
Ga., writes us that our account of the battle between
himself and Mr. H. L. Schreiner in the street's of
that city, was entirely correct. He says: " Two
minutes more would have spoilt Bro. Schreiner's
beauty for six months, and as it was he had to have
his meals sent in for two days. I presume Mr.
Ludden has seen you in regard to the Blumenberg
Stencil Piano Expose, which I expect will create a
ripple in the New York trade. It certainly ought to>
for the Courier is about the last sheet that should
say anything about the Stencil business. Its
crusade on that line has been hypocritical and
sickening, and if others had had the nerve to fight
it as we have they would quiet down muchly ere
this. Our business is clean and square, and hence
we do not hesitate to resent all such, and fight them
out at home or abroad.

WE are delighted to announce that Mr. John
Willard Northrup, of the W. W. Kimball Co.,
Chicago, will be married on Tuesday, March 9, to
Miss Sallle Benton Martin, of Englewood, 111. We
can give to no one in the trade better wishes for
happiness and prosperity during his married life
than to Mr. Northrup, whose friends are as the
sands upon the sea shore, and who will second us in
our good wishes.
IT is said that pianos in Pittsburg houses are being

Mr. J. N. Merrill, of the Smith American Organ

WE are informed that Mr. J. L. Stone, of Raleigh,
N. C, who has made an assignment to the W. W.
Kiniball Co., of Chicago, was forced to do so by bad
collections and poor crops which forced him to make
an extension. We are told that he has abundant
assets to pay every dollar he owes and leave him
from $30,000 to $40,000. I t is not probable that any
of his creditors will lose a dollar. His embarass-
ment is only temporary, and his honesty is unques-
tioned.
