a Well-Kept Prison.

"The cleanest Jail in America" said
Keeper Strickland at the county Jail last
night Keeper Strickland takes the deepest
interest in the Jail, and looks out always
for the prisoners. A month ago he began
to clean up the Jail. Four men were put to
work scrubbing the floors, wiping the bars,
and cleaning the windows. Toe keeper did
a good deal OF inspecting, and the work
was kept going. A few days ago it was
finished, ana the jail looks a good deal bet
ter, smells better, and is pleasanter every
way. The work was not done any too soon.
for the grand jury went through it
Yesterday and inspected it, When the
foreman came out after looking the build
ing over, the keeper asked him what he
thought Of it, and he replied. ut is Just as
you told me; it is all right Keeper Strick-
land felt very proud, and he said that he
lutends to keep the Jail as neat as a pin. !
The prisoners even looked cleaner wtfSn
they came out of their cells yesterdav

Editors Musical Courier: GENTLEMEN
In answer to your circular letter of the
23d inst, we will say to you that the num-
Der Of new Steinway Square Pianos in
stock has been reduced to four instruments,
and, as stated to you one year ago, the
manufacture of Square Pianos has been en-
tirely discontinued by U.S.
The number of Upright Pianos made and
sold during 1889 is only per cent. larger
than IN the previous year.
There is again a heavy increase in the
number Of Grand Pianos this year over the
year 1888, having this last day Of the year
1889 reached the unprecedented figure of
1920 Grand Pianos Of the different STYLES
and sizes for tae year just past, with a large
number Of unflled orders, and consequent
loss of sales even at retail for not having
them. The year closes without our having
single Parlor Grand on hand for sale. We
have completed arrangements largely to in
crease our production Of Grand Pianos.
Respectfully yours,
STEINWAY & Sons
This proves conclusively the extraordi-
nary demand and immense popularity of
the Stetnlcay Pianos.

in the United States circuit court
by petition asking the court to stay pro-
ceedings on the estreatsd bond and to
compel the state to recognize the marriage
contract entered into between Charles
Tutty and Rosa Ward in the District of
Columbia, under the laws of the United
States
The defendants were separately indicted
by the superior court grand jury of Liberty
county on May 3, 1889, and, failing to
appear for trial at the adjourned
session of the November term, their
bonds were estreated Dec. 5. The
petition admits that Rosa Ward is of African
descent, but that the defendants were
married in the District of Columbia accord
ing to and under the sanction and approval
OF the laws of the district, and therefore
they are living in state of lawful mar
riage, and were at the time of the alleged
violation OF the Georgia statutes. Judge
Speef received the papers and said that he
would examine them. The state was NOT
