the Atonement, Brooklyn, with the result
that the organist has been discharged.
The organist says that the preacher asked
him to buy all his music at a certain store
and that his refusal brought about his dis-
charge. The pastor has evidently an eye
to things material.
TKOUIU.E
Weber Affairs.
J
USTICE SMYTH, of the Supreme
Court, granted, on Monday last, an or-
der dissolving the Weber Piano Co., whose
office is at No. 108 Fifth avenue, and
factory at Seventh avenue and Seventeenth
street, and made the temporary receiver,
William Foster, permanent receiver. The
company went into the hands of a receiver
Feb. 3, 1896, with liabilities of $364,806.
When seen on Thursday regarding the
foregoing, Mr. Foster said: "My appoint-
ment as permanent receiver was a legal
formality necessary before any steps
towards the re-organization of the company
could be effected." When asked it there
were any late developments on the consum-
mation of the Weber-Wheelock re-organi-
zation, he tersely said: " I have nothing to
say about re-organization, I am the re-
ceiver."
We may add, however, that Mr. Whee-
lock is meeting with considerable success
in his efforts to get the enterprises in which
he is concerned on a working basis. Stimu-
lated by the support of the creditors and
with the possession of renewed health and
vigor, Mr. Wheelock will undoubtedly suc-
ceed in bringing order out of what looked,
at one time, like chaos.

porting Association.
