The ''Beethoven's House society,"
Bonn, has recently acquired Beethoven's
last piano. 1t was made by the court
piano maker, Konrad Graft, who died al
Vienna in 1851. He went to that city in
the beginning of this century, and soon
gained a reputation by the excellence OF
his pianos, The instrument in question
was expressly ordered from him BY
Beethoven. In consideration of his deaf
ness, it was made with four strings to
each key, instead of the usual three.
Owing to the strength OF its tones,
Beethoven used it almost exclusively in
the last years of his life. After his death
it passed into the hands of the bookseller,
Franz WINNER, of Vienna; and, after
the marriage of his daughter to a Swiss
clergyman named Widmann, it became
tine property of the Widmann family in
Berne. Its genuineness is proved by
documents, and confirmed by the au-
thority Of Johannes Brahms. 1t is now
in the house in which the great COM
poser was. born at Bonn. London

The Bank

New YORK, Jan. 3l.-GeorSe II.
Pell, banker, was arrested last night for the
part he took in disposing OF the securi-
ties of the Sixth National bank, and was
today held in $3.50, 900 bail for examina
ton Thursday next. Clausen, president
of the bank, for whose arrest a warrant
was issued at the same time as was that
for Pell, is still at large.
The Sixth National bank and Lenox
Hill bank are still closed, and at 10
O'Clock a notice was posted on the door
OF the Equitable which stated that bank
was closed temporarily. An official state
ment of the condition OF the three banks
is expected this evening.
1t is rumored that Cashier VanZludt,
of the Lenox Hill bank, is being watched
by the police and it was thought would be
arrested as 500 as a statement now be-
ing prepared was ready. Examiner
Hepburn when seen at the Sixth Ma
tional baLk, at noon. said the bank would
not lose more than $3.50. 900, of this
amount 100000 was represented by
bonds and securities, which had already
been sold, and the other S350,0CO was
represented in checks which we're held
against Equitable and Lenox Hill banks.

A Prohibition Crank.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3l.-David Alex
ander, who tried to assassinate Bishop
Whitaker Sunday last. pleaded guilty
this morning before Judge Arnold. DR..
Andrews of the county prison testified
that Alexander was sane ON every other
subject except prohibition. When asked
by Judge Arnold what he had to say.
Alexander rose, and in an eloquent voice
addressed the court said: Il ALWAYS
thought the church was supposed to help
and support boo widows aud orphans, and
when a man, a minister of the
church. openly denounces prohibition.
| as a Christian. consider it a vile and
base crime. but when a mar ranks SO
high as bishop, l think he is guilty of a
very vile crime indeed, and a hinderance
to the church instead of a support. They
speak of increase of the good use and
the church, but when a bishop is allowed
to openly and publicly denounce prohi.
bition, | think it shows a great decrease. -
Sentence was reserved.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3I.-Old time pugi-
lists who hate to admit that youngsters
can do anything in the fighting line and
who were present tonight at the mill"
between Tommy Kelly, the Harlem
spider and Chappie Moran OF Jersey, for
the bantam championship of the world,
admitted after ten rounds had been
fought that the battle was one of the
greatest they ever saw The fight took
place near the border between New York
and Pennsylvania and $50 of the most
prominent sporting men of this vicinity,
Boston and Philadelphia were present.
The stakes were for $500 a side and a
purse of $500, of which 500 went to the
loser was guaranteed. Skin gloves were
worn.
An ex pugllist, now a teacher of box
ing in this city, was referee. Jack
Matchmaker held the watch for Moran
and Johnny Rekardt did the same for
Kelly. Jimmy Larkins and friends sec
onded Moran. and two HARLEM sports
we're behind Kelly. This was the third
match that had been arranged between
the men. When the Others fell through
each man accused the other OF cowardly
conduct, and the personal feeling be
tween them was bitter, and they had
trained carefully. When they were
weighed this morning Kelly was three
pounds over weight and he had to sweat
off in a Russian bath. Even that expert.
ence brought him down to only log!
pounds. Moran's regulation weight was
los pounds.
Kelly won first blood in the first round
by a cut on Morans eye, and first knock
down in the second by a left handler on
the neck. The betting which was lively
and opened at 100 to 81 on Moran be
came even after four rounds had been
fought, as Moran was knocked clean off
his pins for the second time in the
fourth round. Both were badly cut and
bruised before the end of the fifth
round, but they continued to hammer
away at each other with a vigor that sur
prised old timers.
In the ninth round Moran put in some
heavy body blows and Kelly appeared to
become groggy.
In the tenth round Moran knocked
Kelley down squarely by a right handler
on the Jaw The spider remained on his
back for eight seconds. AlPof a sudden
he rushed on Moran. Moran forced
sharp infghting and during it Kelly
placed a right handler on Moran's neck
and Chappie in falling struck a post and
bunched himself on the floor fairly
knocked out. 1t is estimated that about
81, 900 changed hands on the result.

ENGLISH CAPITAL.
Monied Men of London Seeking
Investments in America.
Another Syndicate Buying Up
Sash and Door Factories.
A Great Mill" Between Ban
tam Pugilists.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3l.-Amory B. Lyd-
ston, OF London, who is largely interested
in English stock companies was in the
city to day, on his way to Colorado, where
he expects to visit the silver quartz mills.
In conversation he SAID it is not at all
strange that London capitalists are invest.
ing largely in American properties.
What | wonder at is that they didn't
Don discover hat the United States
offered safe and sure profits to Investors.
1t is only within the last two years that
English capital has been directed toward
America, but already there are twelve
great syndicates which have representa-
tlyes In this country on the lookout for
large investments. These syndicates
make a business OF floating stock in
the London money market, but do not
and small corporations.
Wealthy Londoners who formerly we're
content to remain at home and buy up
stock offered by s%yndicates, are taking
trips ID the United States for the purpose
OF looking over the ground and investing
then own money.
These men are helping America more
than they think. When they get home
they find their money pays them nearly
twice as much as il would if they had in,
vested it in London. They know tina,
what builds up America helps their in,
vestments, consequently they are ready tl
urge their friends TO invest and to invest
more themselves and | suppose that
already half of the monied men in Eng
land hold stock in American concerns.
1t is hard Tor one who has never lived
in England to understand how hard it is
to carry forward schemes or projects in
that country. The law places all sorts of
restrictions upon all money transactions
which are in any degree out of the ordi-
nary, to buy and sell. You have to pay
the government a big fee before you can
float the stock of a foreign company on
the London market. | understand the
company which made the Minneapolis
mill deal had to pay u 5000. 900 in fees
of various sorts before the stock was all
sold.
Conservative London capitalists are
content with less than 3 per cent interest.
He will not invest in any company
which is advertised to pay over 3 per
cent. London bankers will not pay in
terest on deposits, however large. Under
these circumstance the progressive bust
ness man must look outside of England
for profitable investments. Formerly
his first thought was of the colonies, but
now he turns to America.
KANSAS Cry, Jan. 3l.-The Star
asserts an English syndicate is negotlat-
ing for the purchase of all the principal
sash and door factories in the country.
Options have already been secured on
thirty five different plants. including the
Western Sash and Door factory of this
CITY, the largest plant of the kind in the
United States.

A peculiarly pathetic incident marked
the closing of the life of Alonzo E. Stod-
dard, the well known Boston baritone,
who died with typhoid fever. As he lay
on his cot in the hospital breathing his
last, a sudden inspiration seemed to re-
yivify him, and, to the wonder of all, he
sat upright in his couch and began to
sing iu~his familiar, robust voice one of
his favorite operate solos. He never
sang with more feeling or with moro
beauty of tone. The song was sung
from beginning to end, the last notes
died away, and just as they ended the
singer fell back in his bed, dead. =

SAN Francisco, Jan. 31.-Samuel
W. Garness, a money broker, died last
night from the effects of bullet wounds
inflicted by D. II. Arnold, a wealthy resi-
dent Of Cclusa county. The shooting is
believed to have had its origin in an
anonymous circular distributed in Colusa
over a year ago, charging Mrs. Arnold
with improper conduct.
Suspicion rested on Garness. The men
have quarelled over the affair several
times before and yesterday afternoon
entered a saloon together and into a pri-
vate room A few moments later several
shots;were heard and when parties enter
ed the room they found Arnold had shot
Garness with Il revolver. Arnold was
arrested and is still in custody. He re-
fuses to make any statement.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3l.-Mrs. Crop
pinger, eldest daughter of Secretary
Blain, is lying critically i'll with brain
trouble and the gravest ap~prehensions are
felt in regard to her. She has not been
well tor some time, but was not regarded
as seriously i'll until this morning when
the malady took a dangerous turn and it
was deemed advisable to telegraph for
her husband who is now in the west on
an inspection tour, and for her brother
Emmons, the only members of the family
out Of the city. The president learned
of the case this morning and went over
to the secretary's to offer sympathy and
assistance. Consultation of physicians
