The steamboat inspection officers at the

In connection with the loss of the Hawk
ms, the following letter has been received
by the local steamboat inspection officers
from Washington. 1t is addressed to
George H. Starbuck, supervising inspect
or of the second district of New York:
Referring to the loss of the steamer j !.
w. Hawkins, alleged to have been lost
on Mantauk. l.. l., a few days ago, having
on board upward OF 100 persons. several
of whom were reported as drowned, you
will please direct the attention Of the
local inspectors at New York to the fact
that said steamer was certifcated about
April 20, 1895, as a fishing steamer, and
that under such certificate IL was vio-
lation of the law to carry passengers.
while as reported, the steamer has
been lost and is therefore beyond lawful
jurisdiction such is not the case in re-
gard to the master of the steamer who
took her to sea unlawfully. Therefore. l
would suggest that the case be investiga-
ted under section 4450 to ascertain wheth-
er said master has not been guilty of mis-
conduct such as would make him liable
to either of the penalties as provided in
said section.
"(Signed) James A. Dumont,
Supervising Inspector General"
The local inspectors have taken prompt
cognizance of this communication and
will send an answer showing that a care
full investigation will be made, probably
tomorrow.

PIANO COMPANIES FAIL.
Three WeII-KnOwn Firms of New
York Make an Assignment.

Three WeII-KnOwn Firms of New
York Make an Assignment.
New York, Feb. S-William E. Wheel
ock & Co., piano manufacturers at One
Hundred-and-Forty- streets and
Third avenue, Mott Haven and % East
Fourteenth street, assigned to-day. They
also have interests in concerns at Nor
folk, Richmond and Portsmouth, Va.
Chicago. Denver. Pittsburg and Water
bury, Conn, which were considered as
branches. John w. Mason is a special
partner for $4,000. The business was es-
tabished in 1877 by WheelOck who built
IN a large business throuFho1it the cam
try. Two years ago they claimed assets
of $500. 900 and liabilities of $235, coo. Charles
B. Lawson is the company. Wheelock
has also been president of the Weber
Piano Company of New York. and vice
president of the Stuyvesant Piano Com
pany of New York. Their business has
been dull for year past and a large part
of their capital is tied up in their diver
sified interests and in plants. The imme-
diate cause of the assignment is that the
firm is unable to meet obliga lions assumed
by the firm on account of the Weber Pr
ano Company.
The Weber Piano Company is in finan-
cial difficulties and the directors have
deemed it best for all concerned to apply
for the appointment of a, receiver. 1t was
found upon making up an inventory for
Jan. l. that the assets, while nominally
be Immediately available for the needs
of the company. The trade for a year
past in high grade pianos has been very
much curtailed on account of the hard
times. The production has thus been les
sened while the expenses of carrying on
the business and the cost of making pi-
amos has been increased. 1t is said that
the assets are. sufficient to meet the liabil-
tiles at a fair valuation. The Company
was incorporated in 1892 with a capital
stock of 100000 and the business was
established many years previously. APP
plication was made for a receiver to-day.
William Foster, vice president, was sug-
gested for receiver. The liabilities are
about 1864 900 and the assets are at least
least $780, O00 consisting of a factory mort
gagged for 100000 and eight lots in Seattle,
Wash. William f. Wheelock is president.
The Stuyvesant Piano Company of No.
POP and 206 East observation-disclosures
enth streets applied for a receiver to-
day. and Robert F. Tilney, the treasurer,
was suggested by the officers for temper
ary receiver. The company was incOrpor-
ated in April, 1886, with capital stock
of $40 The liabilities are $4,000, and
the nominal assets $4,000. William e.
Wheelock is president.
Justice Lawrence this afternoon APP
pointed William Foster, one of the pc
titioners and stockholders, as temporary
receiver of the Weber Piano Company,
with bonds for $4,000, and appointed Rob-
ert F. Tilney temporary receiver for the
Stuyvesant Piano Company, with bonds
at $4,000
