How Is the Piano Business ?

When customers in fact or prospective ask that question we at once come to the conclusion that they are slightly interest ed and exert ourselves accordingly to make him or her more so.
 When an agent in the same line of busi- ness propounds the question with a grave countenance, our opinion is at once formed that he is desirous of ascertaining the exact condition of the business in general, and answer him accordingly.
 Who creates a demand for pianos and organs: Why good, live, smart agents They are the intermediate, so to speak, between the manufacturers and the people. Into their hands is confded the delicate task of convinc- ing, if possible, the customers that they really need the instrument for social and above all, educational advancement of | their children. How often we are met with the argument that no piano or organ was thought of in their younger days, even | as a luxury, to say nothing of it's being a valuable acquisition and help to educa- tion. That as thus far they have been able to make their way in the world without it surely the children should be content to do the same. Such customers | forget that the progress of time is of any value to the human race, Could they | have their way the world would be turned
 
 advanced in the art of music than the preceding one, condition of affairs un- desirable. Such people are to be pitied rather than condemned from the stand point of one idea, like father like child Happily the fraternity does not number customers of that class in the majority and they usually find themselves left by their more progressive neighbors awaken ing too late to the fact that the neighbor's | nhil1 hoe Inv thiS inc r>f cation far eclipsed theirs in the struggle for supremacy in the battle of life.
 To our brother agents we offer tie sug- gestion that honor in dealing with a GUS toner should always be above every other consideration. Never make state ments that it is impossible to fulfill, simply to gain point the better of your antagonists. But rather let us deal as be- comes gentlemen of an honorable pro- fession keeping il mind the golden rule and selling our goods strictly on their merits according our competitors at all times the same treatment and courtesy ex- pected by every gentleman in honorable prosecution of business.
 To the people who are always our friends we would say, listen patiently, become interested if possible Should, however, your patience be sorely tried an easy remedy would be to inform the agent that you have decided to make or have made your selection from the well known and reliable house of B. Shoninge1 &c Go, Shoninger or Weber piono, as the case may be, and are only waiting for the fall house cleaning to be completed before placing it in your home. Such a course will save you much annoyance and secure YOU the best the market affords, beautifyinl your home with that most desirable of al household effects, fine piano or organ. B. SHoNINGER & Co,

 ''From the President of the United States and from many a humble citizen have come heartfelt felicitations.

BY TKE TRUST METHOD.
How Broker Backer Expects to Get on fyi
 Feet Again.

Feet Again.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 10. The affairs of Abraham Backer, formerly a dealer in commercial paper at No. 285 Broadway, who made an assignment for the benefit of his numerous creditors on August 3 last, will probably be liquidated by formed among the creditors at the in stance of the assignee, Lawyer Benjamin F. Einstein.
 It is expected that by means of this trust all of MT. Backer's creditors will be paid in full, the assets preserved and the best possible result secured out of the property and securities in the as signee's hands.
 It is even possible that after all the ex- penses of the assignment and trust are met, and all the creditors paid in full there may still be a surplus, which will go to Mr. Backer.
 The reason for this unusual settlement is that the assets of MT. Backer consist chiefly of bonds of southern railroads and other securities which are listed and have a limited market. If forced sale of these securities were to be held they would have to be sold at great sacri flee, whereas held until favorable op- portunities offer themselves, they may be disposed of very advantag eously, and away above their present vaIue.
 The largest number of the forty odd creditors have already signed the trust document. The rest are expected to follow suit. The trust agreement is not valid unless creditors whose claims az gregate 97 per cent. of the unsecured claims sign it.

He Caused Mrs. Isaaos to Give Permatur'
 Birth to. Child, By Arresting Her.

For No Apparent Reason He Dragged Her
 BrutalIy to the Station HOuse--Her Ter
 rib1e Sufferings--He Made the Family
 Give Him Money, Food and Drink. Be-
 cause of His Official Position.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Policeman Adam H Schery, of the Madison Street Police Station, is accused of hlackmail and ex- tortion and of causing Mrs. Jennie Isaacs to give premature birth to a child by his inhuman treatment.
 Abraham Isaacs, who has 8 wife and seven children, keeps a saloon at No 2S East Broadway. He claims to have kept a respectable place and to have had no trouble until Schery was put on the beat about year ago. It did not take that officer long to become familiar with the place, and then he began, Isaacs declares, to extort money, liquor and food on the strength of his official position.
 At first Schery would drop in, the Isaacs say, get few drinks and tell them to "hang it up" Then he would bring in friends and treat them, also at the ex pense of the Isaacs. He would drop into the place, drink until too full for speech and then go into the kitchen, which is just back of the saloon, and go to sleep in chair. He would make them send out and buy food for him, 'tlend" him money on various pretexts, and give him bottles of liquor to carry home.
 In August, during the cloakmakers' strike, Schery sent a boy over to the sa- loon to have 'growler" filled for him. Isaacs objected, and from that time on there was trouble. One night Schery asked for 25 cents for coffee and cakes firms, vowing revenge. On Sunday, Sep tember 27, 1saacs got up at o'clock in the morning to attend a ceremony at the synagogue. He left the side door of the kitchen open and passed Schery on his way. The saloon was closed, he says. Mrs. Isaacs, wEho was soon to be- come a mother, arose soon after her hus band had left and went down to the kitchen.
 'I had my eighteen-months-ol child in my arms,'' she says, "when Schery pushed open the kitchen door and entered. | He started to go into the saloon, and I told him it was closed and he could not | go in. He tried to push by me, but resisted. He then told me he was going | to arrest me. I wanted to know what for, and he replied: T have got to get my grudge out of you; you have got to come with me- I told him l was in no conditionsto go anywhere, and appealed | to his humanity to let me alone. It was all in vain, and was half dragged, half l driven to the station, some ten blocks 1 away.
 Mrs. Isaacs describes her sufferings during the few hours she was there be- | fore the court as terrible. She was taken before Judge Ryan and let go on $100 bail. She had been home less than | an hour when her child was born.
 Mrs. Isaacs was able to be about yes
 terday, and she promptly went to polict
 headquarters and preferred charges
 against Schery of false arrest, of causing
 the premature birth of a child, and o
 demanding money and liquor.

Receiver Brodhead Oualifies-WhO Will
 Defend the Wreckers.
 KINGSTON, N. Y., Oct. 1O.-County Treasurer Nicholas E. Brodhead, who was appointed temporary receiver of the Ulster County Savings Institution, has qualified, his sureties being the Ameri- can Trust Company of New York city. The amount of the bond is $25O, 900, which has been approved by Judge Furs man of Troy. Receiver Brodhead has retained the firm of Linson & Van Blu ren as legal advisers, and it is the inten- tion of the receivers and his attorneys to close up the trust as rapidly as pos sible and in a manner to secure for the creditors the largest possible payment.
 An arrangement will be made by which the mortgages held by the bank will be sold so as to avoid foreclosure and consequent loss and injury to both the depositors and mortgagers. It is rumored that Ostrander and Trum bour will retain ex-Congressman David M. Dewitt and Frederick L. Westbrook to defend them. Messrs. Linson and Van Buren had only been retained to act for the prisoners in the preliminary exami nation.

 AsBURY PARK, N. J., Oct. 1O-The patrolmen of the United States Life Saving stations No. 1 and 9, at Sper- maceti Cove, and Normandiebyt the Sea, threaten to desert the service unless the United States Government officials at Sandy Hook testing grounds stop their reckless firing along the beach.
 The patrolmen claim that they are constantly in danger of being hit by the shells from the big guns and mortars. They have complained to the government officials but they pay no attention to them.
 Last week Captain Edwards of station number ? had a shell plough up the sand but few feet from him. He has saved the shell as memento. When com plaints were made to the Government officials they promised the life saving men to inform them when they were going to shoot along shore, but have never done

SAY THERE IS A PLOT.
An Alleged Conspiracy to Assassinat0
 Leading Anti-ParneIIites.

LONDON, Oct. 10.-The Healyites claim to have discovered we'll organized plot to assassinate leading ntiParnellites who may attend the funeral of the dead statesman. This will be made the ex- cuse for absence on the part of many, and it is said that they are rather glad of so good 8 pretext to stay away, thus avoiding the disorders that seem inevit- able in case the factions meet at the grave of the man over whom they quar- reled so bitterly in life.
 Alfred Webb, M. P. for Waterford, says that the fact of such a conspiracy as above described cannot be denied. He had obtained proof of it's existence, and would lay the facts before the world at the proper moment. Parnell, in Webb 8 opinion, perished in an attempt to bend the laws of God and the conscience of men to his will. Parnell was a man, not God, and no forced tear to please a passing sentiment was likely to wet the cheeks of those who had opposed him from motives of high principle during his lifetime.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-A happier home than John Derrick s it would have been hard to find week ago. He is an elec- trician and worked for the Eureka Elec- tric Company: He has been married % years and lived with his wife and three children in Brooklyn. He belonged to a lodge of Free Masons and was also a Knight of Honor.
 The members of MT. Derrick's lodge attended an encampment in Utica few weeks ago. He wrote affectionate letters to his wife daily.
 Only two days had passed when MT Derrick came hurrying home late in the afternoon and announced that his firm had ordered him off to Boston on import ant business. Then followed 8 period when there was night work to be at tended to, and Mrs Derrick would not see her husband oftener than one or two evenings week. That was about ten days ago. Thursday and Friday nights of last week MT. Derrick took her to the theater. Saturday he said he was again called to Bos ton on business and would be away until Monday evening. She has not seen him since.
 Adolph Wenzel, a platter, and an inti- mate friend of the family, called on Mrs. Derrick last Monday and asked to see her alone.
 He then told the woman that while at the encampment at Utica her husband had met Miss McCarn, black-haired, black-eyed girl of 26 or 27 years. Just who Miss McCarn was MT Wenzell did not know, but he did know that she came to New York shortly after Der ricks return, and that Derrick became greatly infatuated with her and spent much of his spare time in her company. A letter awaited MT. Wenzel at his | office Monday morning. It was from l Derrick, who said that he was about tc leave town, as he had tried in vain tc withstand the charms of Miss McCarn. l The writer asked Wenzel to inform Mrs. | Derrick of his departure and to tell her | that he would send her money before what she had was spent.
 The deserted wife was at first grief stricken. Then she became angry. She called on her husbands employers and | found that they had never sent him tc | Boston or given him night work. She has put the police on the trail of the run, | awayS.
