TALKS WITH PIANO BuYrRs
No. @.


Now that you know some OF the ;n..,.
facts about the piano trade, and ra -si1ile
perhaps, some of the difficulties in the I',e,
OF selecting really good instrument Iat 80.
tell you something of the history an rs
pianos we have been identified with 81 us 4O
years. There are several very celehrs,ay
names among the piano makers n ~
world. ''Broadwood" is household mac e
in England; ''Beckstein" is eoualIv III;
known on the continent, but it is no exsg-
geratlon TO say that the name of stChict1s
ing" is famous the world over. A nomara,-
reflection will convince any one thai tba.s
must be solid reason for this No ,io-
could make itself a name In the culhraS'
centers OF Europe unless il had merits 90
most decided and peculiar order. Nov "a q
fact is that the Chickeriug piano. ehovo . ~,
others, has been from its birth the Iesdsr -.
every great Improvement kHoic, N ~
modern pidno-Corte. Jonas Chickerino
the founder of the great house of Cbici,ass'
ing Sons, had positive genius for nieno
construction, and when his instrunr new
were exhibited at the great Paris Exnoe;ss
ton OF 1860 they excited more attentjor,
than any pianos produced up to that ti,,n
and so great was the interest excitad 49,
Mr. Chickering received from the ernnero'.
the cross Of the Legion of Honor. tbe mo-.
distinguished mark of approval ever bo1
sVO"ou upon any piano. From that day m
the present the Chickering has maintained
It's position, and while it has few WORTHY
rivals, it remains the very best exannls -
all that piano ought to be. Like ever ~
really meritorious thing, tins piano has ~
enemies and detractors. The best answer ~,
be made them is that the firm of Chickerino.
q Sons has made nearly 50, 900 pianos-morss
than double that of any other mannfsc-
turer. and of late years their output bs,
steadily increased, being in 1888 nearI1
double what it was in 1873

FEATHERS MAKE A SMOKE.

A Burning Bed In capt. Screven's
Residence Causes an Alarm.
Some gentlemen passing on CASTOR street
yesterday afternoon about $50 o'clock were
attracted by some negro women on the
street screaming "firel" in most excited
manner. Smoke was issuing from the base
menk Of Capt. Thomas f. Screven's resi-
dence, No. SIS CASTOR street.
A feather bed lying upon a sofa in the
basement had somehow caught fire, proba-
bly, from aspark, aud was smoldering away,
producing very heavy smoke.
The gentlemen went to work throwing all
the water they could get, with the aid of
the servants, upon the fire, and soon lad it
under control
The fea ,herbed was DESTROYED and the
sofa was about burned through.
There was very little other damage except
from the SIN Ike. Some one sent In an
alarm from box 81, at the corner
Of CASTOR and Lincoln streets,
about fifteen minutes after the
fire was discovered. The department re-
sponded, but its services were hardly
needed. The basement was occupied by
servants. and 1t is supposed that a spark
from pipe set fire to the feathers.
Quite crowd, chiefly women and chill
dren, gathered in the street at the alarm of
fire.
Capt. and Mrs Screven were not at home
at the time.

KEEP UPTHE DRAINAGE.
THE GRAND JURY URGES ACTIV 4
WORK AROUND TIE CITY.

The Corporation ofthe City and County
Authorities Asked in Placing Aus
grove Creek and the Lands De
pendent Upon it for Drainage in a
Sanitary Condit oman Inquiry
Asked for Concerning the Couaty
Roads Appropriation.
The grand jury Of the superior court
which adjourned yesterday for the term,
paid particular attention, in its general pre-
sentiments, 10 the drainage question.
After commenting fayorably upon what
mas already been done in this Inns, the grand
jury urged an active continuance Of the
work, particularly 10 and around the city.
The county commissioners and city authori-
ties are asked to cooperate at once in plac-
ing Musgrove creek and the lands dependent
upon it in thoroughly sanitary condition.
High tides and heavy rains" says the
jury, now cause the trunks to leak and
overflow, and the lands adj acent are flooded,
and remain in a sadly unhealthy condition.
Il has always been O msnace TO the health
of the city and subject Of continuous anx-
iety and Just complaint. We are informed
by high medical authority that the greater
portion of the sickness of the city prevail
tion is attributable to the condition Of this
creek aud the lands that neod an outlet for
drainage
The grand jury recommends that Mus
grove creek be Videned its banks raised
| and food gates constructed al It's mouth to
carry off all the water that may be required
Of 1t in thoroughly draining the dependent
lands.
Attention is also called TO the low lands
at Southover junction aud to the condition
OF the Casey canal, both Of which need at
| tention.
The Louisville, Telfair, Pine Barren,
| Quaco and Ogeechee roads are reported in
bad condition on account of the recent
heavy rains aud in need Of immediate atteu-
ton. The chairman of the road commits
sIoners having reported to the jury that he
| had repeatedly asked for and was refused
the 5000 appropriated for roads aud
bridges in the county budget, Judge Falli-
CANT Is requested TO inquire into the matter
and have some understanding arrived at
that the roads may receive the benefits of
the funds appropriated for their improve
ment.
In view OF the fact that the city council
has deferred action until November in the
putting down Of a noiseless pavement on
Drayton street east of the court house the
grand jury refers the whole question to the
proper authority for the suppression of
nuisances, with the request that vigorous
measures be at once instituted for its ahate-.
ment. If the matter cannot be arranged
otherwise, the grand jury recommended
that the county commissioners do the work
at the county's expense.

CAN'T BREAK The LIE AsE.
The Legislatures Action IN the central
Railroad Matter.

A gentleman who is a keen observer OF
railroad and financial matters said In con-
versation with a MORNING NEWS reporter
yesterday:
tsIt strikes me that the Georgia legislature
is very inconsistent in this matter OF the
lease Of the Central railroad by the Rich
moud and Dalville.
mot very long az There was the same cry
againss railroad rnOn0polies and the leasing
| ~ the railroads Of the state by larger rail-
! road svstens but whel the Western and
| ArI9ntic railroad was 10 be leased the state
nroceeted 10 offer it in q very
/ bushes. like manner % the highest bidder,
! and II was knocked off 10 the Nashville,
/ Chsttauooga and st. Louis railroad,
! branch of the Louisville and Nashville sys
tam FOR the sum If s35, 900 month. How
can the legislature, with any degree Of con-
sistency. object to any railroad system leas-
inq any railroad line il the state, whea the
state is itself engaged IN leasing its own
railroad line to one of the largest railroad
CORPORATIONS in the United States. It was
lust rs much wrong for the state to lease
the " estern and Atlantic b the Louisville
and Nashville as it was for the Richmond
ami Danville to lease the Central railroad.
The lease will never be broken, no matter
how many investigating committees are ap-
pointed. A similar Investigating commit
