An Old Piano.

A little piece of note paper pasted
on top of the piano tells the history of
its wanderings and its owners. Itruns
thus:
This piano was purchased in Lon
don, A. D. 1905, by John Graham, of
Rockingham county, Virginia, being
the first one brought to the county.
Its cost was f100.
1T remained as an heirloom in the
Graham family, descending first to
his daughter, Maria Graham, who
married Jacob Koontz, by whom the
music book accompanying the instru-
ment was copied. II was then in the
family of EMILY Graham SISTER of
Maria), who married Samuel Cootes,
where it remained many years, de-
scending to the family of his daugh-
ter, Margaret c., who married DR..
Reuben Moore, where it was during
the civil war. Ella, daughter of DIR.
Moore, who married Newton Burll-
holder, next came into possession,
from whom it was purchased by Mrs.
Maria G. Carr, granddaughter of the
original owner, who donated it to the
Chicago Historical society, April,
1885,"
The music book is indeed curl
osity. ALI the notes are written with
pen and ink, and the amount of labor
expended on the preparation of the
score must have been great 1t has a
"hand made" title page, and on page
preceding all this is some elaborate
writing and scroll work which tells of
its possession by Maria Graham, now
long laid to rest, and listening to and
possibly making more heavenly music
than ever came from the yellow and
worn keys of the old pianoforte.
The whole book is curiosity. Its
leaves are of heavy rough paper. The
ink which forms the notes is of a
rusty hue, and the paper itself is yel-
low and stained. The notes are quite
legible, however. Chicago Mail.

A SCHOOL BUILDING WRECKED.
Seven Persons Receive Fatal Injuries at
Hastings, Neb.


Hastings, Neb.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb "A heavy gale pre-
vailed all over Nebraska yesterday, starting
at o'clock in the morning at Alliance, and
reaching Lincoln at about o'clock a. IN.
Considerable damage was done in the western
part of the state, buildings being unroofed
and trees blown down. At Arapahoe a mum.
Der of small buildings were blown down, but
no one injured At Hastings the Central
school was almost totally wrecked, four per-
sons being so severely injured that recovery
is impossible, besides large number slightly
injured. One of the pupils in the Hastings
school building was killed outright, one other
injured so that he will probably die, and the
teacher, Miss Aldrich, fatally injured. The
storm was widespread, but reports so far re-
ceived confine the serious damage to the
places mentioned. Lincoln escaped with a
few cornices blown away and few outbuild-
ings overturned. The storm was also an cleo
trical disturbance, many watches in this city
stopping at about 8 o'clock in the morning.

SEVENTEEN MEN DROWNED.
Terrible Accident Caused by Breaking Ice
at Pine Lake. N. ".

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. s-News has been
received here of dreadful accident at Pine
Lake, Fulton county. The reports are in
definite, but as far as can be learned the dis
aster resulted in the drowning of seventeen
men. The victims were driving teams en-
gagged in hauling logs across the ice when the
ice broke, and the men and horses were all
lost. A dispatch from Canajoharie says that
the following information has been received
there regarding the accident at Pine Lake:
Twenty-four teams were engaged in drawing
logs across the ice, regarding the safety of
which no fears had been felt. It gave way,
however, after seven drivers and teams
reached the shore and the remaining drivers
and horses broke through the ice and sank
out of sight None of the bodies have yet
been recovered

HOSPITAL BOILERS EXPLODE.
Two Lunatics Killed and Two Wounded,

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. Sat 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon two boilers in the engine
room of the state hospital for the insane ex-
ploded, completely wrecking the engine-house,
killing two patients and injuring two others
and the two engineers. One Of the latter will
in all probability die. The engine-room is
separate from the large main building in
which the patients are confined, the main
building being uninjured except broken glass
from the conclusion. The explosion COM
pletely destroyed the five boilers and the
dynamo for furnishing electric light, leaving
the building without light, heat, or the means
of preparing food. The loss will probably be

THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES.
The Senate and Assembly met in joint
convention in the Assembly Chamber
this afternoon and elected r. d. Stevens,
of Sacramento; N. s. Green, of Colusa
A. Z. McEwen, of Solano; Fleet F.

State Library for four years after the ex-
piration of the terms of the present in
cumbents, on February 20, 1890.
The Republicans sought in vain to clog
the wheels of the proceedings, claiming
that the statute under which they were
taken is unconstitutional. In order to
be consistent with this claim, they de-
clined to a man to vote on the nominees.
Outside of the gentlemen named above,
no candidates were placed in nomination
save one Charles F. Murchison, of
Pomona, whose name was presented by
his friend and co-tactician, John K.

THE LANNAGAN CASE. M2

To be Given to the Jury for Decis-
ton To-day.
The case of William Lannagan, charged
with the murder of William Stack at San
Fernando on election day, was still on
trial yesterday. DIR. Turner testified that
Stack identified defendant as the one who
had beaten him, and the defendant said
he had hit him because he called him
names, and no one could do that and
live.
The constable, who arrested the de.
fendant, testified that Lannagan was
drunk at the time. When taken before
Justice of the Peace, flanagan said he
wanted to 20 back and finish the job.
This closed the case for the prosecu-
tion, and the defense introduced Henry
Gum, of San Fernando, who testi-
fed that Stack said barrel of cement
fell upon him and hurt him.
Mrs. Glenn, the keeper of the board
ing-house where Stack lived, said that
Stack had been hurt on the 5th of Nov
ember by barrel of cement. She had
heard no noise in the room of deceased
on the night when it was said Lannagan
beat him.
Medical testimony was introduced to
show that Stacks wounds were older
than was supposed by the prosecution.
The case was continued until to-day
for argument.

FOR ALLEGED ARSON.

Levine's Bond Fixed at $4,000.
other Matters.
Robert Levine, of the Bank Exchange
Saloon, who was arrested early yesterday
morning on charge of arson, was ar.
raigned during the afternoon before
Judge Austin and his preliminary exam
ination set for the 28th inst. at 2:3O P.
M. with bail set at $500. Detective
Mccarthy yesterday unearthed more evil
dence which would make it appear con-
elusive that the fire was incendiary, for
underneath desk near the bar
he discovered pile of cloth
half burned out, which had been
saturated with kerosene and placed there
for kindling purposes. Under the bar
was also the remnants of a mass of hay
which had been fred, but was extin-
guished on the arrival of the fremen.
Chief Moriarty wishes to deny the state
ment in an evening contemporary, in
which it is attributed that he said that he
knew of Levine's being connected with a
similar affair in Portland, Ore. The sa-
loon is in charge of the police, SO that
every available piece of evidence may be
secured,

An ArSOm Case.

Abraham Aaron, the proprietor of the
clothing store at the corner of New Main
and Upper Main, which caught fire some
few nights ago from some prepared kin
dlings, came up for examination yester-
day before Justice Austin. The name of
Henry Davenport was included in the in
formation with that of Aaron, but at the
beginning of the case, on motion of the
District Attorney, it was dropped out,
and the clerk allowed to go free.
The charge of arson against Aaron was
then investigated. The defense was
based on the testimony of some plumber
who had done work on the premises
several months before and had left some
kindlings underneath the floor. The tes-
timony was taken, and argument will be
heard next Monday.

The material for the approaches of the
Downey-avenue and First-street bridges
has been on the way eight days and it is
expected will arrive shortly. Work will
be commenced on them just as soon as
they arrive, and next week, it is
expected, that the preliminary arrange
ments will be made so that there will be
no delay. The people in East Los An
geles and Boyle Heights are anxious TO
see the work 60 ahead and Mr.. Burrel,
of the Bridge Company, having the mat
ter in charge, states that he is as anxious
as anybody to see the bridges completed.

road we'll nigh useless for public travel.
The work must all be done over again to
make the road passable.
Nowhere in this last inspection
of the HERALD's commissioner, in
over q days ride, did he find
any evidence of any considerable ex-
pendlture of money on the highways,
except in the case above mentioned. On
Vermont avenue he came across one OF
the overseer's men putting in a foot
SQUARE culvert. He had his team, and
at O'Clock in the day he had laid the
culvert and had load of straw and a
load of dirt on it. On the Green
Meadow road team and scraper were
at work throwing up the grade on the
west side of Main. The makeshifts, or
patches of straw were numerous all along
the line.
It is not always possible to precisely
locate the boundary lines of a road over
seer's district, and if the HERALD com.
missioner tells of road being in cer-
tain overseer's district, when it is in
another's, little harm will really be done,
for as yet little difference has been found
in the district visited 60 far as the con-
dition of the roads are concerned.

ALLEGED STRANGE OOINGs.

Mr.. kanoelehua, who lives at Au-
waiolimu, on the Eva slope of Punch
bowl hill called at theBULLETiN office
this morning to relate rather start
ling story of the deings of rifemen.
He said that between ten and eleven
O'Clock last night two white men in
the uniform of the Honolulu Rifles,
carrying their guns, came to his house
in q carriage. They knocked at the
door and when he went out and asked
what they wanted, they said they
were just taking Q look round. He
told them that was no place for them
to DO looking round, let them 60 into
the public roads if they wanted to see
what was going on. Mr.. Kanoelehua
returned into the house to put his
clothes on, SO as to go cut and see
what the number of the carriage
Has, but on coming outside again he
was only in time to see the carriage
drive rapidly off. Putting the Incl
dent and the rumors of the previous
day together, Mr.. Kanoelehua and
family passed an uneasy night after
the departure of their warlike visi-
tors, Some of their neighbors re-
ported similar disturbance of their
repose. and all want to know il such
proceedings arc done by authority.
II so they think it remarkable style
Of pacilying the feelings OF natives
wrought up by recent events.
Col. Ashford on being told the
foregoing story said he could not
believe it. There must be mistake
at least in the identity of the dis
turbers. Members of the Rifles had
no authority to go about with arms
and uniform except when on duty,
and there was no company drill last
night.
Other members of the battalion
said there was recruit drill last
night, and the fellows were pro-
badly raw recruits prowling round
foolishly. The men were not al
lowed to leave their guns at the
Armory,
