But Note These Pertinent Facts

1. The circular in which we say, eve

rather than by playing the give
away game" was printed eight
years ago, and has not been used
by us for four years past. Hence the
charge that at the same time we were
crying down the give away game we were
giving away gold watches is false in
toto.
=. The Gold Watch. Fine Stool, Cover.
Instructor, Music Book, and freight, given
in VITA each new Piano sold in NoYem Der
and December for cash, were actually
worth 500 cash. Yet The Courier says
these gifts do not amount TO anything. !"

,. Our Arion Piano is made by |. P.
Hale, and is not a cheaper piano. If
the Musical Courier will furnish us 1000
OF STYLES , or y within IL months, at S125
or $3.50, spot cash, we will present them
with our certified check for $1,000 cash as
bonus. Let them either put up or
shut up.
(. Our remarks under heading of How
bic is your pOcket-bOOk?' are strictly
true. and hence won't be withdra wn.
The disreputable way OF selling pianos

Piano is manufactured by ourselves,
and exactly in the way we state, and our
names were never on any Piano that we
did not make from the case up. When
The Courier SAYS we are not piano manu-
iacturers il states falsely.
s. Our statement that we do not sell
Stencil instruments is strictly true.
The Arion Piano has its makers name on

81. LOUIS. Mo, Feb. s.-A freight train
consisting Of sixty-two cars, heavily laden,
while running up Poplar street from the
river this morning separated in the mid
die, and Immediately the rear portion oI
the train started back down the grade,
The brakemen did all in their power to
arrest the progress Of the runaway cars,
but their efforts were unAvailing, and in
order to save their lives abandoned the
train to It's fate. Each foot OF It's back

almost Immediately several Of the cara be-
gan swaytng from side to side and soon
Jumped the track, but still kept on In
their downward course, crushing into the
houses which line the streets and leaving
destruction In their wake,
One OF the cars became dttcned, how
ever, and this arrested the progress OF
those behind 1t. Others continued in their
mad course, some oti the track and some
on, until they were tipped over into the
river, Several houses on Poplar street
from Fifth street, where the two portions
Of the train became separated, to Second
street, were damaged, and almost every
house from thence to the river was badly
wrecked. The debris OF the wrecked cars
and houses now strew the track, which
will require several hours IN remove, The
loss can scarcely bs estimated at present
on account Of the confusion, but conser-

mendously into the eRat.bound freight
rates from st. Louis, so much 80, indeed,
that the local committee there have been
obliged to ask Commissioner Fink to help
them out Of their trouble. This, however,
ls not easy to do, for Mr.. Garrett, OF the
Baltimore 4 Ohio, shows no anxiety TO
meet the views Of other trunk roads,
and although anthracite coal cannot
be produced along the southern
and Weetern roads, the bituminous
variety !. Ia In great plenty and
can easily and cheaply be mined. Be.
.ldes the fine tidewater outlets OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Baltimore
and Ohio, there are many others still
further south, and 1t would be nothing
surprising to see large blocks OF freight
shifting to New Orleans and other south
ern ports.
The situation at present Is simply
this: II there Is . rate war, freight
will be shipped by the road charging the
lowest rates, and II there Is peace, then
the road which can do the business the
cheapest will dictate iB own terms.
Either contingency can scarcely benefit
the great trunk lines, and this makes the
prospects, Of the Drexel. Morgan syndicate
somewhat gloomy. The cutting OF pas.

NEw YORK, Feb. S.-Captain White, OF

board. The voyage continued without In.
Cident until the brig was of Jamaica, when
gale came bowling from the northwest,
and lasted for three days. But Il was sew.
eTal days later, when 100 miles out at sea,
of Hatteras, that the great storm which
wrecked them was encountered. The
waves ran higher the wind blew almost a
hurricane and lashed the ocean into foam;
wave after wave broke over the ship, and
finally enough water got below 10 wet the
cargo. Then the coffee began 10 swell,
the bags TO burst, and more water got In.
The coffee which was forced out oi the
open sacks, aoated into the pumps and
soon disabled them. II was impossible 10
reduce the water In the hold.
Meanwhile the fury Of the storm In.
Creased and the sea was itightful 10 be.
hold. In the midst Of these scenes OF
peril new and terrible danger appeared.
Because Of the disabled pumps, which
were Choked with coffee, The eleven thou.
sand bags Of coffee became completely
saturated, and the whole mass arose like
yeast. With a shock that shook the yes.
eel to her center, the decks burst open.
The matches were wrenChed on, and great
seams opened In the vessel, which ad.
mitted The sea In torrents. Nothing was
to be done but leave the ship as speedily
as possible, for she was already settling.
With great difficulty the long boat was
launched and hauled into a sheltered posi-.
ton Under the stern Of the brig long

crew toket on board. There was no time

Tho crew thought themselves fortunate In

they were finally picked upby tho steamer
