new patent steel tuning device, instead of wood
is the greatest invention ever made in pianos, 1t
consists of stationary steel tuning pins that are
set in mold and molten steel is run round the
pins. keeping them selidly in place. thimble or
shell pin is made to exactly fit the stationary pin
revolving thereon; thus the strings Wird round
the pins. After the strings are properly stretched
the piano can never get out of tune the rest plank
mate. This will be appreciated by all musicians
in city or country, 1t will stand 20 years without
tuning, and is good for 100. No other piano has
this Improvement.
Great strength and durability is another advan-
tage. In other pianos boles are bored in wooden
boards and tuning pins inserted. The pins turn
round in this board and cannot stand permanent
ly in tune, and it often cracks, splits dries out,
becomes utterly. totally and entirely worthless as
musical instrument. Our Steel tuning device
is in no way affected by such casualties. and the
sounding board is 30 constructed that our pianos
can never become thin or metallic In tone. They
are always in tune and the expense Of tuning is
saved. This patent alone Is worth millions and
makes our piano the greatest in the World. Prices
are no higher than other pianos. Buying direct
from us, the largest manufacturers, you save 500

THEY HAVE ESCAPED.


The Negroes Who Did the Shooting at
Nahal;sk, Miss Not Found.
A Wahalak, Miss, dispatch of the Goth
aavs: Runners came In to-day from
White House bringing report from the
other band Of searchers. They rode
nard all day and covered their terri
tory well. but failed to find any
of the negroes for whom they were
hunting. A negro woman who was
in the house during the shooting Sunday
night was seen to-day and told what she
knew of the affair. Her statement, how
ever, only confirmed other accounts
and brought out no new facts. The
guards who had charge of the prisoners
report that they escaped last night, but
do not think it worth while to attempt
to find them, and have asked that
their names be scratched from the
list of the spotted" A note Was
received to-day stating that several
OF the negroes who were in Maury' s
house during the shooting Sunday night,
were making their way to Meridian
through the country, where they intend
ed taking the train in order to leave the
country. This information was tele-
graphed to Meridian and all other
points near here where they might at
tempt to board the train, and if they
attempt they will certainly be caught.
This seems to be the only chance to cap
ture them. The searching party has
been disbanded and the riot is practic-
ally over, at least for the present.

RoCKLAND, Me-, Dec. 19.-Three ship
wrecked men arrived here to-day,
bringing terrible tale of loss of life
and property at sea. They are George
A. Smith, captain; First Mate William
Smith, and Alfred Doran, of the steam
er Almlra, bound from Birmingham,
Eng, to New York, via Halifax. I'm
mediately upon their arrival, Capt.
Smith left for Boston.
The particulars of the wreck were OBJ
tanned from Doran. The Almira, he
said, sailed from Birmingham on De-
cember 8 with cargo of red wood.
There were on board twelve sailors,
Capt. Smith, his wife and two children,
cook and two mates. On the
night of December IA, when eighty
five miles off Halifax, one OF the
crew carelessly threw down his lighted
pipe in the forecastle and instantly the
floor took fire and the flames soon
spread beyond control, owing to the
combustible condition Of the wood
work which was saturated with oil.
The captain, two mates and the cook
took to the boats and were picked up
three days later, with the exception of
the COOK, who died from exposure. by
schooner whose full name Doran
could not give. He remembered that
her first name was Sarah A. They were
brought here and the vessel did not en-
ter at the custom-house.
Those who perished were the captains
wife, his two children and twelve sail
ors, the latter belonging in st. John,
n. B. Capt. Smith was a native Of Cape
Cd and Doran's home is in Fall River.
Doran says the flames spread over the
ship in almost an instant

Capt. Kelly, Of the steamer Sagina W
which arrived in New York on the 18th,
from Hayti, would not make any report
on Haytien affairs, but it was learned
from other sources that the Hayden
Republic was still in the harbor of Port
au Prince when the Saginaw sailed. On
the morning of December 5, the pas
sengers state, four of Gen. Legltime's
men of-war-the Dessoline, Belize,
Toussaint L'Ouverture and one
Cape Hayti. The
gunboats dropped anchor tour
or five miles off shore; ly-
ing broadslde to the town. The guns
were fred with blank cartridges to give
notice oil the warlike intentions. The
foreign consuls in the city sent out a
petition to the commander of the fleet
asking time to get out of the city. They
were given thlrty-six hours to evacIate
the town. The people fed into the hills.
taking al the possessions they could
conveniently carry. wealthy resi-
dent by the name of Morel paid 500 or
the use of single animal Tor the after
noon of the first day on which people
had to remove their effects, and those
of the poorer classes, who were for
CundL0 enough TO own d. uu1O pT0IoTT6u
renting it out, to using the animals to
save their own goods.
Shortly after day break on the second
day the Haytien officers trained their
guns on the town and the bombardment
began. The Toussaint fired the first
shot. which went whistling through the
air and buried itself in the sand on the
beach, just in front of the frail matched
bamboo houses of the poorer natives.
The other vessels followed suit and fred
wildly. In a few minutes, however, the
shots began 10 tear through the town,
demolishing the trail structures. The
bamboo huts succumbed easily, but
the stone buildings in the central
and more elevated portion of the
town were not so easily destroyed,
the heavy walls resisting the fire
for several hours. Despite the warning
they had received to leave the lated
town, many of the residents chung to
their habitations. In fact, it was inn
possible to remove many of the sick in
the city within the time allotted by
Legitime. On the top of all of the
houses in which a sick person was
known TO be, Il white flag was placed,
but the shot and she'll were no respect
els of the appealing emblems.
None of the people could estimate
with any degree of accuracy the num-
Der of killed, but it was thought that
fifteen or twenty at least succumbed to
the deadly fire.
