We Lead in Church and Chapel Organs,

Having the largest and best selected stock
in the two cities, composed of reed and pipe
organs Our reed organs are in chapel, pipe
top and canopy top styles, are large and
full toned, of Estey, Story & Clark, Farrand
& Votey and Clough & Warren manufac-
ture. We are the only place in this part of
the State where you will find pipe organs on
exhibition and ready for service. We can
build them in prices from 500 up to S1O,-
600. Specifications and designs furnished
on application. We can refer you to Butler

Church, Johnstown NJ. L. Church, Allie
gheny City Third U. 2. Church and others,
and remember, no matter what name may
be given to a reed organ, it is still reed
organ, and an $500 reed organ is no more
equal to a 500 pipe organ than artificial
light is equal to the sun. This is acknowl-
edged by all organists, and it is ridiculous
to view it in any other light. If you want

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
NEW York, Aug. l2.-The funeral of Will
lam T. Croasdale, who died at his home in
Merriwold Park, n. Y, last Sunday, was
held from the rooms OF the Manhattan Sim
gle Tax Club this afternoon. A large num-
Der of people were present at the services,
including Henry George, John Dewitt War
ner, Louis Windmuller, Louis f. Post Au-
gust Lewis and Eva J. Turner, the President
ofthe Woman's Single Tax Club of Brook
lyn. The Rev. Father Huntington, son of
Bishop Huntington, read the prayer for the
dead, and Henry George made an address.
1t was the first time Mr.. George had spoken
in public since his illness of last year. He
said that Mr.. Croasdale had worked for the
elevation of humanity, that it might be bet
ter when he ceased to be. After the services
about 80 members of the Manhattan Single
Tax Club, with representatives, from the Della
ware Society, of which Mr.. CroasdaIe was
the first President, and the Reform Club, ac-
companied the body to the Fresh Pond ere
matory, where the remains were cremated.
The pallbearers were Henry George, Louis
F. Post. A. J. Steers, q. H. Bates, Isaac
Cook, E. n. Vallandingham, R. H. Young,
Read Gordon, j. A. B. Dilworth, Jason
Hinman, Colonel G. A. Miller, +. J. Schriver,
J. A. Eason, j. p. Crawford, Martin Battle
and E. H. Underhill. Neither DIR. McGlynn
nor Hugh o. Pentecost, old associates of Mr.
Croasdale, attended the funeral. There is
no doubt now that Mr.. Croasdale died from
drinking impure we'll water at his place in
Sullivan county. The water brought on the
illness, which settled in his intesttnes,
already weak from an operation, and peri
tonitiS ensued.

YOUNGSTOWN, Aug. 12.-Detectives en-
ployed in investigating the robbery of the
First National Bank at Kinsman last Sum-
day night have ascertained that the job
was worked by five experts in bank raids,
under the leadership of Pete Canishaw, a
noted crook and safe burglar. The party
were not driven into Kinsman, but walked
in on the railroad after nightfsll, and prose-
cuted the work after the town had gone TO
sleep.
No trace has been found of any rig leaving
the town that night, and as the silverware
stolen would fill large trunk it is believed
it was carried by hand short distance and
planted the burglars intending to resurrect

1t Is known that someone thoroughly ac-
Quainted with the construction of the bank
assisted in the raid, and several persons are
under surveillance. Colonel ID. NJ. 1eomans,

and expensive workmanship The burglars
were traced to Buffalo, where they separated
