DANIEL F. BEATTY, of Washington, N. J., is said to
be one of the heirs to a tract of land in Trenton and on
Schooley's Mountain, N. J., worth $50,000,000. The no-
torious organ maker is alleged to be a descendent of
George Beatty, who obtained a legal title to the proper-
ty in Trenton in 1776, and died intestate. The title of
the present claimants is said to be perfectly clear. If
this be so Daniel will have an opportunity of settling
some old accounts to the satisfaction of certain purchas-
ers of his wonderful organs.

ESTABLISHED 1851.
MR. WILLIAM E. WHLELOCK'S trip West was an emi-
nently satisfactory one.
NEWBY & EVANS, N. Y., the young and pushing firm
of piano manufacturers, are getting out some very
handsome cases in olive wood which promise to attract
much attention on the part of dealers.
STURTZ BROS., N. Y., piano manufacturers, inform us
that they are still several weeks in arrear on orders.
They have recently added two very desirable agencies
to their list. O. Wissner, the Brooklyn dealer, is having
splendid success with the Sturtz piano.
HASTINGS & WINSLOW, Montclair, New Jersey, the
popular piano-forte varnish makers, represented by
the genial Samuel Winslow, are doing a roaring trade.
WE learn from the New York Evening Sun that the
Edison phonograph is gaining much fame in England
for its worthy and wonderful inventor. During the re-
cent stay in that country of Mr. Osgood S. Wiley, Mr.
Edison's special agent, the music rendered by Mark-
with's Fifth Regiment band, played into the phonograph
in Orange, N. J., was reproduced at the home of Col.
Gouard, near London, so distinctly that ladies and gen-
tlemen present danced to the enlivening strains. For
an entire evening Mr. Wiley entertained the family of
the Prince of Wales with an exhibition of the powers
of the phonograph. The Edison House in London, de-
signed for the use of Mr. Edison's London employes
and for the storing of his inventions, has lately been
purchased and elegantly furnished.

WHILE in the warerooms of Peek & Son, N. Y., last
week, our representative was shown a printed list of
three hundred and forty-one pianos, all of which had been
sold to one firm during the year 1888. This single fact
speaks volumes for the " Opera" piano.
BUCKINGHAM, MOAK & MARKLOVE, Utica, N. Y., re-
port business as being excellent. They are one of the
leading firms of New York State. Aside from the
large quantities of musical instruments carried by this
firm they have an additional attraction in their superb
art gallery. Mr. Buckingham has been well-known in
the music trade for the past thirty years. He is one of
the oldest members of the trade, if not its pioneer
member and ornament in the Empire State.
V. B. BARRETT, of Barrett Bros., Binghampton, N.
Y., musical instrument dealers, is suffering from a very
serious attack of illness, but according to late advices
is believed to be improving.
J. T. NEWMAN, of Ithaca, N. Y., has so far recovered
from his recent illness as to be able to attend at his
store for a few hours daily.
L. B. POWELL & Co., of Scranton, Pa., expect to move
into their new store on or about April 1st.

MR. JUNIUS HART, of New Orleans, La., publishes
"The B. P. O. Elks March," composed by W. T.
Francis of Chattanooga Lodge 91, and dedicated by him
to " My Brother Elks." A noble elk's head adorns the
title page of the work, which is characterised by many
brilliant passages. It is also arranged for orchestra.

1 HE new factory of Paul G. Mehlin & Sons, 461, 463,
465 and 467 West Fortieth street, N. Y., is progressing
apace. Mehlin & Sons are preparing for the rushing
trade which will shortly tax their energies, and have
some surprises in store.
AN organ by Newman Bro3., style 135, and fitted
with their largest action (No. 271) has been purchased
by Mr. E. W. Naylor, of 1,629 avenue B, NewYorkcity,
for private use. It is an instrument of splendid and
imposing appearance, and of grand and lofty tone.
MR. MALCOLM LOVE, of the Waterloo Organ Co.,
Waterloo, N. Y., made a pleasant call at the office of
land, New Zealand. This holder has an attaching por-
tion with spring arms to engage a shelf, a finger being
pivoted at the outer ends of the attaching portion to
swing at right angles to the spring arms, and having on
its lower end a weight.—Scientific American.
MR. BRAUMULLER, representing the Schubert Piano
Co., N. Y., is making a trip through the State of New
York. He is effecting numerous and excellent sales of
the pianos of that house.
MUCH interest is evinced in an ancient square piano
now on exhibition at the warerooms of The Dunham
Piano Co., 412, 414 and 416 East Twenty-third street,
N. Y. This relic of antiquity, made by the Dunham
firm in 1838—fifty-one years ago—though it has been
in constant use throughout its long career, is in admir-
able condition, and testifies in the strongest manner to
the thorough and conscientious workmanship of its
builders. Connoisseurs and others should not lose the
opportunity of inspecting this wonderful old piano.

Ga., dealers in the Knabe, Conover, and Harrington pi-
anos, and in the Story & Clark and Kimball organs, are
alive to the value of judicious advertising. We observe
that in the Savannah Morning News of Sunday, March
3d inst., they have an advertisement of a column in
length, setting forth the terms and advantages attaching
to membership of their piano clubs, the names of some
seventy members who have drawn pianos on small
weekly payments, and valuable testimonials from
prominent citizens of Savannah. This species of enter-
prise has signally aided Messrs. Davis Bros, in their
building up of a prosperous and constantly increasing
trade.
A COMMITTEE including Sir Arthur Sullivan, Sir Fred-
erick Leighton, Sir John E. Millais, Alma Tadema, the
Duke of Edinburgh, and other notable artists has
been formed for the purchase of the fine Stradi-
varius violin formerly owned by Giovanni Viotti. The
instrument will be presented to Herr Joachim, as a
token of the esteem of his English friends and admirers,
on the occasion of the great Hungarian's professional
jubilee.
THE New York Sun tells how on Sunday, the 3d
inst., the pre-Lenten services at Christ Episcopal
Church, Binghampton, N. Y., were interrupted by an
eel. The organ bellows are operated by a water motor,
supplied from the city water works. An eel, pumped
up from the Susquehanna River, lodged in the pipe sup-
plying the motor, shutting off the current, and suddenly
striking the powerful instrument dumb*
