suddenly after forging the firm's name to checks for
$500, was brought back to Chicago on the 5th inst. from
Cincinnati work-house, where he was serving six months
for larce-ny. There are several indictments against
him.

A. J. BROOKS, with the Sterling Co., Derby, jConn.
is now on a trip through the states of New -York
and Pennsylvania, the dealers of which sections seem
well satisfied with their present trade, and also with the
prospects for fall business.
MRS. M. B. BARKER of Lewiston, Me., formerly M
B. Sprague, is building a very fine residence on Main
St., of that city, which will be ready for occupancy in
November next. Mrs. Barker is looking for a purchaser
of her music business.

ISAAC I. COLE & SON have just cut the finest walnut
burl that has been seen in the market for fifteen years.
It contains 9,200 ft., 6 ft. long and 3 ft. wide.
MR. J. H. WILLIAMS, formerly with Davis Bros.,
Savannah, Ga., made a pleasant call at the office of this
paper last week. He informed us that he had recently
severed his connection with the above named house,
and that he is now with Thomas & Barton of Augusta,
Ga., with whom he occupies the position of manager of
the piano and organ department. Messrs. Thomas &
Barton handle the Knabe, Estey and Everett pianos,
and the Estey, Story & Clark, and Kimball organs. Mr.
Williams reports that the fall outlook for his firm is
very flattering. Mr. A. A. Thomas, of Thomas & Barton,
was also in this city last week, expecting to select a
large stock of goods for the fall and winter trade.
MR. F. CONNOR, N. Y., is enjoying a most satisfactory
trade. His new warerooms at No. 4 East 42d street,
near the corner of Fifth avenue, attract scores of visi-
tors daily, a large proportion of whom are induced by
the mellifluous tones of the F. Connor pianos to become
purchasers of those fine instruments. Mr. Connor's
fall and winter trade promises to be exceptionally large.
MR. E. P. HAWKINS, formerly representing the Smih
American Organ Company in London, England, has ar-
rived in Boston, Mass., where he is now connected with
the Emerson Piano Company. The music trade press
of London devotes some space to an expression of the
high opinion entertained of Mr. Hawkins in the old
country, both as a man of business and as a private
gentleman.
JACK HAYNES, N. Y., general Eastern manager for
Newman Bros., Chicago, and J. M. Starr & Co., Rich-
mond, Ind., has just been on a very successful trip
through the Eastern states.

Mr. Bellak formerly held the
agency twenly-two years.
THE Hazelton Bros, piano is handled by C. B.
Clemens & Co., the new firm of piano dealers in
Chicago, 111., as their leader.
THE people of the city of Brunswick, Germany, have
become the possessors of the valuable collection of
musical instruments gathered together by the late
I heodore Steinvvay, he having bequeathed them to the
Municipal Museum of that city. The bequest is of over
a hundred instruments—some being of very ancient
date—and also includes many engravings and photo-
graphs of musical interest.
pany, N. Y., who returned from abroad on the 1st inst.,
has settled down to his duties in his usual thorough and
contented style.
E. S. CONVVAY, of The W. W. Kimball Co., Chicago,
has again been showing of what sterling stuff he is
made. Mr. Conway, accompanied by his charming and
excellent wife, recently returned from a trip to the
Pacific coast and the chief pleasure resorts of the North-
west. Though on pleasure bent his business instincts
asserted themselves, and a number of friendly calls
upon dealers resulted in his booking orders for 195
Kimball organs and 95 Kimball pianos.
FRANK DENNINGER, piano-case maker, 653 East 156th
street, N. Y., who is said to be a creditor of C. C. Mc-
Ewen for a considerable amount, made an assignment
on the 5th inst. to Jacob L. Toch, giving six preferences
for $2,670. Mr. Denninger's assets are estimated at
$8,000 to fi0,000, and his liabilities at about $10,000.
MR. ROUERT REED, piano man, is one of those phe-
nomenal persons in Chicago who had formed no opinion
about the Cronin case, and who had no prejudices
against the Clan-na-Gael. So Mr. Forrest, for the de-
ense, accepted him. Subsequently Mr. Reed was let
go because he had conscientious scruples against capi-
tal punishment.
E. S. CONWAY, of Oak Park, Chicago, 111., member of
the W. W. Kimball Co., was examined as to his fitness
to act as a juryman in the Cronin murder case. Mr.
Conway's straightforward and decisive manner of
answering the lawyer's questions was very character-
istic of him. He had no prejudice against Camp 20,
but had against a large number of its members, and
would be prejudiced very strongly. Has read the ac-
counts and papers very closely, and also the testimony,
before the Coroner's jury, and had expressed his opinion
freely. His prejudices affected the defendants. He
knew one of ^he members of the Coroner's jury, and
had talked with him about the case. He had formed a
very decided opinion on the case, and would not make
a fair and impartial juror. Challenged for cause and
excused.

THE A. B. CHASE CO.,
NORWAIK, OHIO.
AN assignment for the benefit of creditors has been
made to F. L. Braid, 104 Kent street, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
by Francis Meyer, maker of piano plates, Keep and
Ainslie streets, Brooklyn. It is likely that Mr. Meyer
may resume business as soon as he can effect a settle-
ment of his affairs. The C. C. McEwen failure is alleged
to have been the cause of the trouble.
