complication of diseases for the past three
years, died at his home in Ivory ton, Conn.,

tree street, Atlanta, Ga., was entered by
burglars last week and some expensive in-
struments and strings were stolen,"
J. T. Wamelink's piano store, Cleveland,
O., and the entire stock of instruments,
was destroyed by fire last week. An in-
surance of $30,000 was carried, which, it
is estimated, will cover the loss. Tempor-
ary quarters have been secured and busi-
ness will be carried on as usual. A new
stock of Henry F. Miller pianos, Hardman,
Vose, Emerson and other lines which he
carried have been ordered.
Affiech & Ellis have opened a music store

in position, and are now manufacturing.
C. P. Bowlby, the Washington, N. J.,

his creditors of thirty cents on the dollar
payable in 12, 15 and 18 months. The
proposition has not been entertained fav-
orably.
Alfred Dolge will deliver a lecture before
the University Club at Little Falls, N. Y.,

Capital and Labor."
Hugh Sterling contemplates opening a
piano store in Camden, N. J.
The Phelps & Lyddon Co., Rochester,
N. Y., report an excellent demand for
their piano cases. The oiders on hand
insure a busy factory late into the spring.
Miss Zella Cole, a young pianist who is
destined to make her mark in the musical
world, played an ambitious program on
the Mason & Hamlin grand piano at
Steinert Hall, Boston, last week. Miss
Cole pleased her audience by her splendid
interpretation, and the piano, a magnificent
instrument truly, delighted everyone. The
Mason & Hamlin grand is steadily grow-
ing in popularity; its superior qualities
are fast being recognized.
E. P. Murphy, piano dealer, McKees-
port, Pa., is enlarging his store. When
alterations are completed it will be one of
the finest warerooms in that city.
A. L. Rawlings, who has just moved into
the warerooms formerly occupied by H. D.
Munson & Sons, is one of the energetic
music trade men of Newark, O. His new
quarters have been entirely remodeled,
and he is carrying a fine stock of instru-
ments with the celebrated " Baldwin " as a
leader. He is also handling a choice line
of organs and small goods.
Last week Estey & Camp, of St. Louis,
recovered a $200 piano which they had
loaned to the Oriental Theatre of that city
a long time ago, and which they had for a
time despaired of recovering. A few days
before recovery they heard that one of their
pianos had been offered for sale at a private
house, and when Mr. Hepburn, the sales-
man, was sent out he recognized the long
lost piano. A blank writ of replevin
was secured in Justice Clements' Court,
but it was not necessary. The piano was
peaceably secured and is again back in its
oJd home after a series of interesting
^escapades.
