Building Inspector johnson was seen,

Mr.. Johnson said, the building was after
the principle of an eye-beam front sup
ported by one center pier of brick. The
plans and specifications were all right, but
the cause of the collapse was either the
faulty construction of the pier or the faulty
material used. The brick may have been
soft. and tile mortar of poor
quality. He says he is glad that
it did occur fGrhe has always been apprehen-
Sive of buildings constructed in this way.
1t would have been all right if the pier had
been iron. stone, or hard brick. 1t had
been anticipated Friday, but little attention
was paid to it. The same thing occurred,

The people of st. Paul, who wait with
no Slight interest for the proof OF Increase
Of population which is furnished by the
number of names in the city directory, may
congratulate themselves upon the remark
able showing of the year 1886. The multi
plier used by the publishers, two and one
half, is the lowest ever adopted. On that
basis the directory estimate of population III
1885, made at the same time the state cen
sus was taheii, but more than a month be-
fore the publication of the figures, was l09.-
BOO. The census gave st. Paul III. 397 in

the directory estimate is certainly not
above, probably considerably below, the
real population Of the city. The total num-
Der of directory names this year is 40, 35S.
an increase of 4, 1893 over 1885. This re-
markable addition. the greatest in the his
tory of the city, is only statistical evidence
of what every citizens eyes have shown
him. If the multiplier three, the one in
most general use, were employed. the popu-
lation of st. Paul would be 14S, 074. Adopt
ing two and one-half. the multiplier APP
proved by the st. Paul publishers and al
ways used heretofore. ST. Paul contains to-
day 1913, 395 souls. Gratifying as is this
showing. it can be accepted with the GER
tainty that, while it may fall below, it can
not possibly exceed the actual present pop
ulation of the city, so the publishers say.
The book is a very neat volume, bound in
cloth, and will be 1913 pages larger than il
was last year, numbering 1,0S6 pages.

The girl, who said her name is Rosa Fir

lives, told different story. She said she
had left home, it was true. but she went to

Mr.. Postelthwaite, the chairman. said that
some part Of the Franklin school building

are very defective and the sand or soil is

What the Musical Courier. New

Information of the great success of
the Hallet & Davis piano at Boston,
where it was played by Edmond
Newport, at the first concert of the Music
Teachers National association, was re-
ceived here this morning and gratifed the
many friends which that piano has in this
city. Mr.. Newport, after the concert, said.
L am acquainted with the principal Euro
pean and American pianos. and can say
that give Hallet Il Davis instruments the
preference over all others. Their (new
scale) is a wonderful piano.

Nisnnfed Ground.

In the New York Musical Courier of
July Z, the critic, in an editorial comment
ing on comparison made between Boston
and New York as to their relative piano
productions, in the course of his remarks
wrote as follows:
LAS to improvements in pianos. we have
also few suggestions to make. The great
improvements made in pianos. say within
ten years. must be equally distributed be-
tween the two cities. The wonderful i'm
provements made by the Steinway of New
York are universally recognized. How
ever in their principles of construction
there has been but little progress. We re-
iterate-in the principles of construction.
In the details there have been many changes
and improvements added to pianos, but
there have been as many in Boston as in
New York, comparatively.
1.-The only revolution of construction
within a decade, which has forced itself
upon the market in quantities of pianos,
comes from Boston. The hundreds of de-
tails that have been altered and improved
cannot be mentioned at present, although
we would not hesitate to mention them if
called upon.
This is the only journal published or this
continent which can mention them. Suffice
it to say that the Rogers patents, the bridge
agraffe in the Hallet Sc Davis piano and
patent tlange on the iron plate of the En-
erson uprights of Boston are important
changes in construction.
We know of none such important changes
in New York pianos within the same time. y
\ =
The above unbiased criticism from such
able source as the Musical Courier in favor
of Boston manufacturers against its own
city, New York, placing special stress
on and particularly pointing out the Hallet
& Davis patent agraffe bridge. does me
proud, and adds yet more support to Oul
claim for the Hallet & Davis as the creates
piano of the present age. These popular
pianos are to be seen in all their late styles,
designs and sizes at A. E. Whitney's music
house, OF East Third street. A. A. Fisher,
