BosroS, Aug. 1O.-The failure of the
Giencon Company, firm interested in
lumber, was announced late this after
noon. Their official statement Of their
financial standing last March was debts
S2ie,s43; nominal assets $43l ,s3a. 1t Is
generally supposed that the figures to
be produced in connection with the
failure will be less. encouraging as the
debts have increased, while a forced
sale Of the assets will doubtless reduce
their figures.

John j. Carolan the Successor of w.
h. Guerard.
John ]. Carolan was yesterday appointed
agent of the Merchants and Miners Trans
portation Company, to succeed W. E.
Guerard. The appointment of Mr.. Carolan
was q foregone conclusion last week, but it
was not made until yesterday. He was re-
ferred to in the MORNING News Monday
as the one most likely to be made agent.
The appointment is one which will give the
utmost satisfaction to the entire CONNER
cial interests Of Savannah, and is a rec0gni-
ton OF the recommendations of the patrons
Of the Baltimore line.
Mr.. Carolan has been an employee of the
Ocean Steamship Company for about eight
years, having risen from the position Of
a clerk to that Of freight agent of that CON-
pany. Previous to his connection with the
Ocean Steamship Company he was a clerk
of the Central railroad.
So popular has Mr.. Carolau made himself
with Savannah's commercial men by the
manner in which he has handled their busi~
| ness with the Ocean Steamship Company
! that as soon as Mr.. Guerard resigned from
the agency of the Baltimore line commi t.
| tee OF prominent cotton and naval stores
men started a petition, which was signed by
almost every firm in the city, requesting
the Merchants and Miners company to APP
point him agent.
When Traffic Manager J. c. Whitney
| came here to take charge of the office a
committee of the petitioners, together with
| one of the leading officials of the Central
railroad, called upon him and urged the APP
pointment of Mr.. Carolan. Mr.. Whitney
| was so favorably impressed with the strong
| recommendations that while he did not
make any positive statement he intimated
that their wishes would be favorably con.
sidered by the company, and probably
recognized. Monday Mr.. Caroan was called
| by telegraph TO Baltimore, and after a con-
sultation with the officers of the company
he received the appointment yesterday
Tbs new agent is about so years OF age
but is said to be one of the best posted young
men in freight and steamship matters il

TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS.
No. 7.

No. z.
Until the year 1882 the house of Mason
& Hanllin had been known simply as the
greatest in the realm of organ BUILDING
The Mason q Hamlin reed organ being the
criterion Of excellence the world over A.
the time named, they decided to 90 into the
making OF pianos, and with characteristics
enterprise and Judgment produced at
once what has been demonstrated to be the
greatest improvements in the piano forte
since the invention Of the iron frame.
This great feature is the entire and radi-
cal change in the method of stringing. that
is, OF fastening the wires to the frame Of
the piano.
The old system, which is the one in ga,-
eTal use, consisted Of an Iron peg driven into
wooden block or wrest plank. the wire
being twisted around the peg or Din. which
is turned back and forth in the wood TO in
crease or decrease the tension of the strjnO
thus raising or lowering the tone. In spiie
OF the most skilltul construction this has
never been an entirely satisfactory method
OF strlnglng, and nine tenths OF the annoy,
ance caused by the failure to stand in time
and exasperating breaking of strings ara
owing to the faults of this manner of fast.
ening the wires.
Like 90 many great inventions, the Mason
q Hemlln stringer is SO simple as to excite
wonder at its not having been sooner dis
CoFSIeu. IL Is q simple screw device by
which the string is fastened directiu to tis
iron frame By this means the Immense
strain of the wires is placed qUhere it prom
eTty belongs, upon the only part of the in.
strument which can successfully resist the
tension. The consequence is that the Mason
q Hamlin piano stands in tune perfectly
for great length Of time, and broken
strings are almost unknown.
The makers of this instrument were NOT
content with the Introduction of a mere
mechanical improvement, however import
ant. They Immediately set about produc.
ing an instrument that should be of the
highest musical excellence, and 50 we'll have
they succeeded that any maker in the
i00rtd might be proud of their present
pianos.
Within the past few weeks four NJ. oh
grands and ten uprights have been sold to
the Chicago Conservatory of Music. one of
the leading music schools Of the world. and
they are constantly growing In favor with
the musical public. It will be remembered
that William II. Sherwood used the Mason
q Hamlin on his last winters tour through
the south.
We shall take the greatest interest in
showing the many fine examples of the N.
d II. now in our warerooms, and invite
correspondence concerning them.
