THE MOELLER ORGAN FACTORY.
MONG the numerous industries contributing
to the prosperity of Hagerstown, the Moeller
Organ factory deserves high rank. Its oper-
ations are continuous throughout the year and it
gives employment to a large number of mechanics
and laborers. The factory is purely a local enter-
prise. Quite recently a quantity of new machinery
has been introduced and Mr. Moeller is now building
an additional hot-air brick dry-house, which by far
exceeds any arrangement of the kind in this cily.
The Moeller organs have won a deserved success,
which is owing partially to the very excellent woik-
manship in their manufacture and very largely to
leading features of these organs, patented only last
June, that place them far ahead of other competitors
for popular favor. Moeller organs have been shipped
to nearly every State in the Union, to England and
Australia, and the company has now inquiries for
other instruments from nearly all the States and
territories.
Mr Moeller manufactures every variety of instru-
ment, from the small reed to the large pipe organ.
Among the latter built at this factory are some of
the finest in the United States ; notably those at St.
Luke's Methodist Episcopal church, Newark, New
Jersey, which stands thirty-two feet high, is twenty-
four feet wide and lias eighteen hundred and four
pipes; and a fine two manual organ at the First
Methodist Episcopal church at Jamestown, Chautau-
On Monday of last week Mr. Moeller received the
contract for a large two manual pedal pipe organ to
be placed in the First Presbyterian church at Wat-
sontown, Pa.- He is also building two other fine pipe
organs—one for the Lutheran church at Selinsgrove,
Pa., and the other for the Presbyterian church at
Sunbary, Pa.
The pres; has been lavish in its commendation of
the Moeller organ. Concerning the one in the Meth-
odist church at Jamestown, the Evening Journal, of
that city, after describing the new church edifice,
says : "Of the great organ as a fixture of the church,
it can be said it is fully commensurate with the scale
on which all parts of the edifice have been built and
furnished. The builder is M. P. Moeller, of Hagers-
town, Maryland, who has personally superintended
the work of getting it up. Even a novice scarcely

A BOLD FISHERMAN WHO PROPOSES TO
HOOK DANIEL F. BEATTY.
JOSEPH McCREDAN is a bluff, hearty Long Is-
land fisherman, who lives at Canarsie, digs for
clams, and catches fish by hook or by crook.
The Tribune tells us that last summer, by toil, pru-
dence and economy he laid up $45 against a rainy
day. He has two daughters, and one day Mrs. Mc-
Credan suggested that as the girls were getting old
enough he could not do better than to get them an
organ. She had seen Daniel F. Beatty's $45 organ
advertised as made in Washington, N. J.,and a great
bargain, and so the fisherman sent on the money
for the instrument. But he got none. He waited
patiently; then he wrote. He got circulars in return
from Mr. Beatty. McCredan wrote again ; more cir-
culars. Finally he received a letter from Beatty
saying that if he would send $5 more he would get
his organ. Thereupon, some six weeks ago, the fish-
erman started for New Jersey and made a sworn
complaint setting forth these facts before United
States Commissioner Muirhead, who issued a warrant
for the arrest of Beatty under the statute providing
against the use of the United States mails for fraudu-
needs to bo informed that the mechanical parts are lent purposes. The warrant was placed in the hands
of the very best material and that the workmanship of Deputy Marshal Taylor, who has not yet succeed-
is unsurpassed. This superb instrument is unques- ed in arresting Beatty, although he has been seen in
tionably the finest of its kind in the city. It is an this city within a few days, and is said to be going

THE NEW EXPRESS TRAINS BETWEEN

BOSTON AND NEW YORK.
HE two limited express trains between New
York and Boston are to be made the most ele-
gant in the country. Thirteen new cars have
been built for them. They are long, extra heavy,
and exquisitely fitted with dining cars, headrests,
and all that goes to make such chairs desirable.
There are two dining cars furnished with all the
recognized luxuries of the day. Plate and colored
glass form leading features in their make-up. The
cars are to be ready for the road in a few days. The
principal feature about the passenger coaches, how
ever, one that will attract general attention and elicit
approval, undoubtedly, will be the large bay windows

than steel.
