THE LEvIA-RIcHTER CASE.
1t Bids Fair to Make Further Busiu
for the Bnlica Count

1t Bids Fair to Make Further Business
for the Police Court.
Mary Richter and Lena Levia, charged
with battery. burglary and petit larceny,
did not appear in Court yesterday when
Judge Buckley called their cases. The de-
PENDANTS were tried on Saturday last, and
it was understood at the time that if the
defendant, Lena Levia, would return the
rings she had taken from her father, the
cases would be dismissed. The Court &C.
cordingly announced that the verdict
would not be rendered until Tuesday.
The father of Miss Levia was in Court
yesterday, and stated that the rings had
been returned to him. He said, however,
that since the trial the defendants were
continually annoying him, and be showed
the Court a large rock which one of the
women had thrown at the house.
Judge Buckley ordered the cases contin-
ued until to-day, and it is quite probable
the defendants will not get off as easily as
they have expected.

THE FOLLOWING Is A LETTER FROM THE
i Mathushek Piano Manufacturing Company,
New Haven, Conn.,.
June %, 1890.
JOHN F. COOPER, FsQ.-Dear Sir: Replying to
your letter of the 4th inst, will say we inclose
copy ofreport of the Mathushek d Son Company,
also q copy of the Musical Courier" containing
an article relating to these people. The above
mentioned is all the information we have in
the matter. 1t is very evident from the above
report that the coucern is not in shape financ-
ally to do very extensive business, bnt of
course, rival and INSCRIPTIONS dealers will
make all they can out of it, in the hope of
putting something else forward. 1t is only an
other of those desperate attempts to make CAPT
tai off from the name and reputation the Math-
ushek Piano has gained AS matter OF fact
1t is really gratifying to see how much the
name is appreciated, and that it is considered
so valuable that previous failures don't seem
to dampen the ardor of the projectors We are
confident in the belief however. from the f.
nancial standing of the new concern, that no
longer lease OF life will be accorded them than
was granted their predecessors. The Mathu-
shek Piano is pretty well installed, ann we
hardly think the public viii be beguiled tito

but it will end like all the other attempts in
