Pending the remodeling of the new salesrooms house of Ludden & Bates, 63 Peachtree street,
one piano suddenly caugnt fire and was destroyed
before the flames could be extinguished. Though
the piano was burned the transfer wagon was
not damaged in the least.
It is thought the piano caught fire from a
match which was on the floor of the wagon and
was ignited when the instrument was placed
upon it.
In shipping pianos they are covered with a
mbber cover and it was this highly ignitable
covering that first caught fire and started the
blaze. It spread rapidly and in the short space
of a few minutes the piano was enveloped in
flames. The hard wood floor of the wagon was
not burned.
The transfer wagon had just reached the alley
in the rear of the Ludden & Bates music house
when the fire was discovered. It all occurred so
quickly that the fire department was not called
ui:on.
BIG KIMBALL PIPE ORGAN.
The great concert organ has been installed in
Belmont College, Nashville, Tenn., by the W. W.
Kimball Co., and organists of note who have
tested the instrument have been loud in their
praise of its qualities. The order for the organ
was placed through the Conibear Piano Co., Kim-
ball representatives in Nashville.
BANKRUPTCY AMENDMENTS.
The Senate Committee on Judiciary have
agreed to report the bill which has heretofore
passed the House amending the national bank-
ruptcy laws. The Senate Committee made im-
portant amendments in the measure, the most
significant relating to the compensation of re-
ceivers.
Under the terms of the bill as amended by the
Senate Committee receivers in bankruptcy will
hereafter receive compensation under a gradu-
ated scale instead of having the same fixed by
the bankruptcy court.
