a Few Solid Facts.

from me NeU ORR IftOIfe.
Knabe & Co., like all frst-class makers,
manufacture all classes of Pianos-Grand,
Square and Upright. They have secured a
pure, full and equal tones in quality melo
dious, rich and sonorous. The Square
Pianos possess all these qualities. and are
much sought after. Their Upright Pianos
are exceedingly beautiful, possessinga clear
and beautiful scale, with a power In the
lower octaves but rarely found in instru-
ments of that class, shortness of the string
generally producing short, tubby tone,
unless, as in this case, assisted by
some compensating mechanical contrivance.
The new Grands Of Knabe q Co. are noble
Instruments, their scale is finely graduated,
the tone is brilliant, full, powerfuland very
sympathetic, aud possesses the much COW
eted Singing" quality in a high degree.
The touch of all these instruments is agree
able, being light, elastic, and Of ample
power, and suited alike TO the amateur and
the artist. We have examined the work
msDsnip OF the Knabe Pianos, and we find
1t thorough in every par ocular. The cases
are rich and elegant in design, and are lin
lshed in the best possible manner. The en- ire
mechanism IS cleanly AID faithfully made,
and long and thoroughly seasoned matters
al is only used in building up these fine in

enables them to allow $3.50. 900 TO lie idle,

GUS state fairs throughout the country the

THE KNABE PIANo.-At a recent concert
in this city the wonderful tone of the Grand
Piano used for that occasion divided the
praise of amateurs with Mr.. Hoffman :
splendid playing. The Knabe Grand Piano
was in some measure a surprise, and mos
agreeable one to tie audience, elcitiug the
warmest commentator from the large
number Of musical critics who heard it, and
giving unusual satisfaction to the audience
This piano, which is made by the house of
VIM. Knabe a. Co. of Baltimore and New
York, is constructed with an entire new
scale, finely balanced and Of great power,
aud capable OF the widest range of express
sion. The instrument is the fruit of forty
years of labor expended by this firm in
perfecting the piano and bringing 1t to such
a degree of excellence that it may be re-
garded as perfectly adapted to all the re-
quirements of the parlor aud concert room
This instrument seems possessed of almost
inexhausuble power, responding magnifi-
Gently to the touch equally in the most deli
cate passages as i'll those requiring laborious
execution. The mellow grandeur of its
tone, the brilliancy of its upper register,
and power Of the low notes, all moulded
to an exquisite and harmonious balance, at
once give it a character Of the highest

the instrument eninently satisfactory, as

THE MARKET SEWER.
All Bids Rejected and the Work to Be
Done by the City.


The city council committees on market
and streets and lanes met in joint session
yesterday to discuss the proposed sanitary
improvements to the market building. and
pass upon the bids for the sewer work, the
council having referred the matter to the
two committees jointly with power TO act.
All Of the bids we're rejected and it was
decided that the work be done by the city,
under the supervision of the city suryeyor.
Alderman Reid, who is chairman OF the
market committee, and who has long sought
to have the much-needed sanitary improve
ment made, will look after the work Al
dermAn Reid was asked last night whether
the sewer will be put In by tunneling or by
open work, and he said that he did not
think II will be tunnel work.
'Will not the open sewer excavation on
Bay street interfere with traffic great
dealf
mot to any considerable extent. There
will be as little delay as possible"
"What IL the Character OF the contem-
plated improvements to the market build
inRp
There are quite a number of improve
ments 10 be made. We will put in "a
inch sewer from the center of the market
basement througl Barnard street, running
north TO Bay street and through the retain
ing wall under the bluff, thereby con-
Meeting the market basement sewer
with sewer that runs from
the retaining wall 10 the river.
There are other improvements under
consideration, one Of which is the taking
up OF the entire brick flooring Of the mar
ket basement and relaying it in cement;
also connecting the sewerage of the market
basement on the east west and south sides,
so as TO drain the building to the center,
where the drain is TO be connected
with flushing pipes. We will ar
range for water closets, ETC., and will
no away with the unsanitary use of
the market basement. 1t is the design of
the committee to have the market base emit
lighted by three second size incandesceuu
electric lights instead of the two dim gas
Jets which we are now using. We will by
this pla not only have the basement better
lighted, but at saving to the city Of 50 per
cent.
THE market committee" ssid Alderman
Reid, proposes to put the market building
in a thorough sanitary condition The
alderman was not prepared to state when
the work will b. completed, but he said
that work will begin next Tuesday.
