PERFECTION IN PIANOS.
HaIIet, Davis & Co.'s Now Leads All Con
nafitprs.

Hallet, Davis & Co.'s Now Leads All Com
petitors.
Among the many meritOri0us attractions
at the Mechanics Fair none called forth a
larger need of praise than the display OF the
Hallet, Davis & Co. pianos. " Excelsior I"
is the motto of the manufacturers of this IN
excelled instrument, and it is undoubtedly a
fact that the years which have been de-
voted to the work of peTfecting it have been
crowned with success. 1t was awarded the
first premium, the grand silver medal, over
everything, thus confirming the Judgment of
List, Rubinstein and other eminent artists.
The Hallet. Davis & Co. piano is not the
result of a few years of hasty labor, but on
the contrary is the perfected handiwork of a
vast amount of careful thought and I'M
ceasing perseverance. 1t is principally on
this account that the instrument to-day
stands ia the foremost rank and commands
the unsolicited praise of eminent musicians
both in Europe and America. 1t is at pres
ent in use at the New England Conservatory
of Music of Boston, and occupies a high
notch in public favor in this city. Seven of
the instruments are being used by different
members Of the California Furniture Com
pany On. p. Cole 81 Coz and hundreds of
others are giving the highest satisfaction in
various parts of the city. William G. Badger,
the local sole agent whose office is on the
ground floor of the History Building, at 725
Market street, states that within the past
few years the Hallet, Davis 81 Co. piano has
won its way on simple merit. The prize
upright, exhibited at the fair, has been pur-
chased by Z. l.. Dingley Of East Oakland.

lmpersonating an Army Officer to Sc.
cure a Pension.

The indicting of Chas De Armand for max
ing and presenting a false affidavit in a
pension case by the grand jury yesterday
was the special business for the grand
jury. 1t is alleged that an affidavit now
on file in the Pension Bureau shows
that he took an oath that he was mustered into
the service Of the United States early in 1861 as
captain in the fifth Missouri infantry, and
that he was mustered under the name of Alfred
Arnaud He swore that he was this identical
Alfred Arnaud and was sometimes known as
Charles Alfred De Arnaud. Recently it was
discovered that Capt. Alfred Arnaud was
alive and practicing medicine at Hot Springs.
Ark. He was the only one of his name in the
regiment The facts were brought out in the
course OF a recent suit against Charles de Ar
maud IN New Jersey. In looking up his record
III 81. Louis the fact that he had falsely per
sonated Capt. Armand was brought to light.
The Pension Office thereupOn began an inves-
ngatlon. and the result was the Indictment re-
turned yesterday. The penalty for the fraud
for which DE Arnaud is indicted is. upon con-
victiOn. fine of not more than $4,000 and I'M
prlsonment at hard labor for not more than te n
years. DE Arnaud will be brough. here from
New Jersey for trial The rightful Capt. Al
fred Arnaud was before the grand Jury as a
witness.

THROWN OUT OF A WINDOW.
A New York Woman Found Dead on
Back Yard Pavement.

Early tuesday morning An aged woman, Mra
Mary McEntee, was hurled from the window Of
the second story Of los Mott street, New York.
and fell with fearful crash upon the stone pave
ment in the back yard, where she lay until
death terminated her sufferings. The mystery
OF her death il not yet solved, though four per-
sons, Matthew J. Carey. hack driver, and his
wife, Elizabeth, James Mcdonald and Mary
McCabe, are under arrest in the Mulberry
street station, rather to give the police chance
to question them than because they have any
proof against them
The dead woman lived with her married
daughter. Mrs. Carey, in the front room on the
second hoor. The rear rooms on the same
door are occupied by Mcdonald. who says he is
an actor, and his wife. The latter became a
mother a week ago and Mrs. McEntee nursed
her. Mcdonald appears to have been drunk
the most of the time his wife was ILL
At about o'clock Tuesday morning Carey
went to the station and told the police that he
thought his mother in law was dead in the
yard. Sergeant Moloney sent Officer Clarke to
investigate and he reported that Carey's sur
misses were correct. Mrs. McEntee's body was
found about three feet from the house and near
1t was pool of blood.
When she was being assisted to her room
Mrs. McDonsld's husband said to her: "For
Gods sake, Mary. wash that blood off the
door, pointing to an imprint of bloody hand
on the door of their apartment In spite of
her efforts the stain still remains
According to the neIghbors the McDonalds
were both very drunk Monday night and dis
turbed the people in the house near them by
their boisterous orgie early in the evening.

part of a womna, then followed the crash OF

TO CHOOSE A GIRLS HUSBAND.
Both Lovers Get Licenses to Wed Her
and She Appeals to an Official

Deputy Register Schappert of Wilkesbarre
has a heavy weight on his mind. Today he has
to chose husband for Miss Susan Koss, a Hun
garian maiden. Two sons of Hungary want to
marry Susan. One is named Michael Sidor and
the other Michael Geysich. Sidor was the
girls lover in the old country. He paid her
passage to this country and gave her so to
purchase wedding troussesu. Upon landing
here Miss koss fell in love with Geysich. The
latter lost no time, and after he had secured his
sweetheart's consent to marriage he started for
the registrars Office to secure license Sidor
heard of it. He got license. too, spelling the
name OF the would-be bride somewhat different
from Geysich.
Both men then besieged the Koss girls house
ana Susan was perplexed she did not know
what to do She finally called at the register y
office and asked Mr.. Schappert to make a
choice for her. At first he declined. but the
woman insisted that he must do So as he is a
better judge of human nature than woman
can be and she will be perfectly satisfied with
his choice. SchaPpert was investigating the
characters OF the two men last night and will
make known his decision today.

WOULDN'T LODGE HIM.
Grant, the COlOred Ball Player, Barred
Out of Wilmington Hotel.

The Harrisburg Base Ball Clubs negro player
was barred out of the Clayton House at Will
mington, Del, yesterday. The same team was
there few days ago, and all the members, in
GLIDING Grant, the negro player, we're quar-
tered at the Clayton. Grant took his meals in
the dining room with the rest of the guests
and was assigned a sleeping apartment Ill the
guests hall.
The boarders protested against being obliged
to eat in the same dining room with c6lored
man and threatened to leave the house unless
the dusky -hued ball player was turned out. Mr.
Pyle, however. allowed Grant to stay with his
fellow players while they remained here. This
morning the club returned, and with them
Grant. They applied at the hotel for board
and Proprietor Pyle informed them he would
accommodate all but the cOlored man. The
white players determined to stick by their
sable-hued companion and all marched out Of
the hotel in high dudgeon over the refusal to
accommodate Grant. Another hotel was
sought where the players were given rooms
and board with the understanding that Grant
must eat with the colored help or get his meals
elsewhere. He accepted the latter alternative.

Harsh Judgment of the Chinese.

FROM the San Francisco Chronicle. July -.
In ABOUT month we may expect to read
heartrending stories of distress among the
Chinese along the Hoang-Bo and the Pei-Ho.
The flooding Of these rivers will cause fully al
much suffering as did the great overflow in the
fangste or Yellow river two years ago, and we
may count on the same appeals Of foreign mis-
sionaries for the misery that no European can
witness without yearning to relieve It. Such
AID the Chinese are always willing to receive,

poor Deighbor die of hunger before he will give
SO much as . handful. II 10 this trait which
closes the purse strings of Europeans when any
appeal u made to assist starving Chinese.
