But few who purchase Pianos realize the
Importance of having them tuned regularly
and of having this work done by experienced
and reliable men. A Piano, unless properly
looked after, will deteriorate and develop =
metallic tone, and will fall so far below the
proper pitch as to seriously depreciate its
value. The action also requires occasional
regulating, if its best performance and dura-
bility are desired. In order that our friends
and customers may have their work properly
done we keep corps of first-class tuners and
repairers for our city work, and will send them
to points outside the city Whenever sufficient
amount of work is guaranteed to justify the

Proposed New street RAILWAYS.

A syndicate, of which Judge E. B. Martindale
is the head, is said to have in contemplation the
building OF several new lines of street railways,
provided the Council will give its consent to the
carrying out of anything so audacious and revo-
lutionary an interference with the Johnsons'
sacred privileges. In conversation with a re-
porter, Judge Martindale said
II do not care to antagonize the Johnsons but
if they don't want to build additional lines, can
secure the capital to do it. The plan proposed is
upon the following general basis: Starting at
the south end of Madison avenue and running
north to Meridian and thence to the Circle. the
line to divide at that point, with branch run
ming west on Market to Tennessee, north to Ohio.
west to Mississippi, north on Mississippi to the
corporation line, then back one square and across
to Tennessee, and thence directly to Crown Hill
Cemetery; while the other branch strikes east on
Market to Alabama. north to Seventh street and
east to the Atlas works with switch north on
New Jersey street to the fair grounds. This is
the system proposed, and the money will be
Forthcoming to build it," He thought the line

GEORGE EMERY'S DEATH.
A Peculiar Fatal Accident the Basis of a Suit
for Heavy Damages.

In Judge Walkers court yesterday. the trial
OF WillianrC. Shocks suit as administrator,
against the proprietors of the Hoosier Mill. was
begun. 1t is for $4,000 damages in the inter-
est of George Emery's family. A few months
ago Emery, while employed at the mills, met
with an accident that caused his death. Tho
compliments case is that Emery was sprinkline
the floor near dynamo machine used for tele-
phone purposes. 1t is alleged that his employers
did not caution him about the machine or in
struct him as to its management Emery,
standing on the wet floor. became a good con-
ductor, and the electricity of the machine threw
him onto the fly-wheel which. in its terrible
revolutions, tore him to pieces. The defense
will claim that it was impossible for him to re-
celve a shock from this machine, except
through his own carelessness. and that he could
touch it at any point without danger except at
the point of the two binding screws that held the
wires to their place In connection with the
dynamo. Emery had no business to touch these
screws. In addition to this. it will be urged
that, frightened at the shock he received. Emery
fell on the key seat of the fy-wheel. The trial
will last several days.
