1888 Did Not Bring Any Great War Upon
the Essth, and. Though There were
Crimes, Disasters and convuisie.s Of
Nature, and tho Hand Of Death Has
Not Been Idle, Nsnkind's Progress Cen
orally Has Been Onward and Upward.
The year 1888 has been comparatively un-
sventful, and yet an era OF continuous
progress and almost unbroken prosperity
throughout the world. True, there have
been local troubles here aud there-an inter
national dispute In Samoa, an imbroglio in
Hayti, quarrels In eastern Europe aud small
wars In Asia, raids by American Indians and
tnsurrections among West India negroes.
Trus, also, there have been moro important
disputes In more highly organized societies;
cabinet crises In France and Spain, . change
Of rulers in Germany and q continuation Of
the long and wearying contest in Ireland
But all have got through the year with less
trouble than any expected at its beginning.
OF calamities caused by great natural
forces there have been comparatively few;
the greatest were the foods and earthquakes
In China, which caused the death of at least
hundreds Of thousauds Of persons and
reduced ten times as many TO extreme
poverty and suffering. In Japan occurred q
most astonishing phenomenon A lake on q
mountain broke through iuto q volcano, tho
whole upper half OF the mountain was blown
into the air by the steam thus created, and
tn its fall buried q number of small villages
and several hundred persona In the United
States there were terrible snow storms early
In the year. causing great loss Of life; and in
the gulf states the yellow fever caused some
loss Of life late in the season. But taking the
year a whole there has been unusual ex-
emption; there has been no blight upos the
grain, no murrain upon the cattle; no general
pestilence has nywhere fallen upon mankind,
and the civilized nations have had no wars
In the line Of inventions and public i'm
proveIncnts tho year has been a good one
In every part Of the civilized world railroads
and telcsraphs have extended, all tho indus
trial arts have 1ourished. and the finer hui
nanities have developed unchecked In

DO YOU WANT A FINE PIANOe

The Everett Club or CO. Operative System
Offers the following inducements, if you
wish to pay cash: By becoming member
you will save SIS in the price of the piano,
and get it at once. II you cannot spare the
cash you can get your piano any time, on
payment of SIS cash and 81 so per week.
no interest, and still save S75 in the price
If you cannot pay so fast, by waiting
until your number is drawn you will get
YOUR piano on payments of 81 per week, no
interest, and save SIS in the regular price
to our retail trade. Think of this! Our
club is composed of $50 members, each
paving 81 per week. Thus you see the
members are buying Tor cash, and one piano
is delivered to the member whose number
is drawn each week, until all are supplied,
or, if one-half of the members take their
pianos and pay 81 so per week, we deliver
twice the number, and get double the
amount of cash each week, and it leaves
only one-half the number to be drawn on the
81 weekly payments. 1t is a simple business
problem. We are saving our members the
difference in price by contracting for $50
pianos at one time, and on cash basis We
have now enough members to guarantee the
success of this plan, and have decided to
begin delivering the pianos on Saturday,
September q. Do not wait, but apply for
membership at once Call and see the
piano, or send for circular.

A FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE.
A Runaway Electric Car Dashes Down
Observatory Hill.

A Runaway Electric Car Dashes Down
Observatory Hill.
Yesterday morning as car No. 8, of the
ObeservatorytHil Electric Street Railway,
was near the power house at the head OF
Federal street extension, the driver lost
control of it, and it started down the
hill at terrible rate of speed. The tracks
were muddy and slippery and the brakes
refused to work. The car at one time al
most attained the rate of 80 miles per hour.
The first curve, at the corner of North ave-
nue. and Federal street, wastmade N safety,
but in making a second curve it jumped the
track, crashed through the park fences, and
never stopped until the wheels were buried
in the soft soil. The conductor on the rear
end of the car neglected to reverse the lever
on his end of the platform, but both he and
the driver pluckily stuck to their posts.
Where the car turned from the tracks it
passed within one foot of telegraph pole,
and the passengers had narrow escape
from death at this point
The car was fairly loaded with passen-
gers, and the greatest CONSERVATION reigned
among them. They endeavored repeatedly
to break from the car. and some one would
have been killed had they succeeded. Ex-
Mayor Drum distinguished himself by
guarding the door and refusing to let any
one out. One young man. who stood on the
platform, jumped off and was slightly
bruised and sprained. His name was Bud
Reese. None Of the other passengers were
injured, though all were much frightened
by their rough experience.

The Opening Reception at the western
Theological Seminary Yesterday.
The scholastic yearHof the Western Theo-
logical Seminary of the Presbyterian
Church was inaugurated yesterday alter
noon at $3.50 by the reception OF the new
students and the allotment among the three
classes of rooms for residence during the
ensuing three years. At the hour named
% young men, constituting the junior class
for the session of 49, go, had assembled IN
one of the class rooms, while in the Vestl-
bule and on the porch students OF last
years Junior and middle classes were ex-
changing greetings and speculating on the
probable addition to their ranks OF new
men.
On assembling in the chapel Prof. I: II.
Robinson, assisted by Prof. W. II. Jetfers,
called up each new student to the platform,
where he read aloud a solemn promise, In
view of the Importance of improving IN
knowledge, prudence and piety and in pre-
pairing for the ministry, 10 diligently follow
the course Of instructions, obey the rules
and regulations and yield to all the ad-
monitions of the professors while member
of the seminary, after which he subscribed
his name on the scroll. Following this the
number and location of the rooms were
called out and allotted to each man as his
name appeared on the books, those of the
old students who desired being allowed to
remain in occupation of last years rooms,
and the business of the day closed. The
number of new students this year exceeds
last years by nine, and the total is expected
to reach 35 in the course of few days.
The opening address of the session, which
lasts with brief recess at the holidays, for

POLITICS BACK OF 1T.

Why Allegheny Select Council Defeated n
Resolution in Regard to Mayor Pear
sons Tenure of 0mce-LiveIy Discus
sion.
At special meeting of Allegheny Select
Council last night the Common Council
resolution asking for an opinion from the
City Solicitor as to whether the Mayors
term expires in 1890 or 1891, was called up.
Mr.. Schad moved to indefinitely postpone,
because he believed Councils had nothing
to do with the Mayoralty. Mr.. Lare
thought it would do no harm, and the peo-
pie should know.
Mr.. Wertheimer said he had no doubt
that Mayor Pearson thought he was elected
tor four years, and if anyone wants to run
for Mayor let him do so and then hgnt the
present Mayor for the Office. An opinion
wouldn't settle it anyhow.
Mr.. Kennedy said the opinion would
have no weight. He hoped that there
would be no election next February, one
reason being that within the next year
the city would be changed in class and
the peoples idea of who should be Mayor
might be changed. There was a power of
politics back of this resolution. 1t would be
but an entering wedge and the next thing
would be to have Councils to order man
damus to be asked for.
The ayes and noes were called and Mr.,
Schad's motion to indefinitely postpone was
carried. The vote stood:
Ayes-Messrs Cochran, Einstein, Hannah,
Hartman, Henricks Kennedy, Lahugh, Nc
Afee, Oier, Ralthlein, Schad, speer, vert
heimer and President Lindsay-l4
Noes-Messrs; Langhurst Lare, Loew'
After some explanations the ordinance
granting the contract for erecting an cleo
trio light plant to the Westinghouse Elec-
trio Company for S141, ,15S was passed.
A resolution for issuing SIS, 900 worth of
bonds to improve Monument Hill was
passed.
Mr.. Muehlbronner called up the resolu-
tion providing for the construction of board
walks in the rural districts, over which the
members fought at the last meeting. Presl-
dent Lindsay renewed his ruling that the
resolution was out of order, as it was illegal
and conficted with an act of Assembly.
Mr.. Kennedy moved that the City Solicitor
be asked to give an opinion on the subject.
Mr.. Henricks said he had voted for issuing
bonds to the amount Of S25, 900 to improve
Monument Hill because he wanted some aid
for his own district. His vote in the future
would depend upon what Councils did in the
boardwalk matter.
Mr.. Kennedy's motion to ask for an opin-
ion on the resolution was adopted.

PALACE OF MUSIC EXHIBIT.
MeIIor & Hoenp, ~ Fifth Avenue.

The high character and reputation of this
firm is fully maintained in the superb exhibit
at west end of main hall. Nothing but the
best is permitted to leave their warerooms;
therefore, only the choicest instruments are in
closed in the handsome cases. whether carved
or plain. The speciality in pianos is the cele-
brated Hardman, which none others equal in
tone, soldity, perfect action and moderate
prices. The Hardman pianos have forged
right ahead, and from being simply very good
reliable instruments have become the favor.
ties, from their undoubted superiority.
In the display are also notable speci.
mems of the pianos manufactured by
Krakauer, and by Kimball. The Justly cele-
brated Palace, Chicago Cottage and A. B.
Chase Organs; could anyone ask more? If
they are exigent they may turn to that remark
able invention, the Eolian Organ with its FIVE
sets of reeds, from which may be evolved the
most beautiful music; it may be PLAYED like
any other organ, or by working the pedals anv
piece desired will be rendered, by having the
proper "barrels." The Eolian is certainly
wonderful. After visiting the display, visitors
are invited to visit the wareroom, and take in
IN their permanent exposition.
