Another Piano in Chicago
A~SsiEEs-0the Failures. .
CHICAGO, July 1S.-The Schaffer Piano
company at 239 Washington avenue has as
signed in the county court to F.. e. Jen-
nison. The FIRMS place of business is on
the floor Immediately above the store of
Hallett & Davis. who assigned yesterday.
The failure of the Schaffer company was, it
is said, the direct result of the failure of
Hallett & Davis. The Schaffer company
manufactures pianos and most of their
product was handled by the Hallett & Davis
company. The Schaffer company in selling
goods to the other concerns took the notes
of the Hallett & Davis company and it is
said used the notes in purchasing material
and supplies for its manufacturing business.
The Schatfer corporation thus became liable
on the notes of the Hallett & Davis COM
pany. Those connected with the Schaffer
company place the assets at about So, 900
and liabilities at $50, 900.
BOSTON, July 1S.-The Hallett & Davis
Piano Manufacturing company of this city
assigned to George w. Morse and Edwin n.
hinball today on account of the failure
OF the Chicago concern OF the same name,
which owes the company large amounts of
money. The directors thought it advisable
to protect all its creditors alike. The liza
bilities are placed at $175. 900; the assets
are more than double that amount.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July 1S.-A receiver
was today appointed by Judge Simonton for
the Middletown Car works, Middletown.
Pa, one of the largest Of Dauphin
county's industries Until the creditors
are paid, the affairs of the company will
be under the supervision of the court. Ar
thur King, principal owner of the concern,
was appointed receiver. The bill of com,
plant was presented on behalf of the Sus-
quehanna Iron company, Columbia, which
is a creditor Of the concern for $4,5l9, and
the Pennsylvania Nut and Bolt works, Leb-
anon, which holds judgments amounting to
81 ,21S. Paul A. Kunkel. Mr.. Kings attor,
ney, says the receivership is due to the
hard financial times. and also to the trouble
which MI. King had with his men. The
plant has not been running full time, and
several of the men had several times re-
fused to work until given higher wages.
At present not more than 200 men are
employed in the works. The Middletown
Car works is the third concern of the kind
in Dauphin county to go into the hands OF
a receiver within the past five years.

On account of the laws of the country,
Mrs. Jennie A. Brown, 622 South Twentieth

refrain from voting, Mrs. Brown will do
some heroic work for the republican ticket,
both state and national.
Mrs, Brown started in last night to do a
little campaigning and her work was loudly
applauded by her neighbors. She lives in
a three-story fiat and some days ago she
ordered a thirty-soot flagpole. Yesterday
the fagpOle was finished and delivered, after
which it was put in place on the roof of the

she went down to her rooms and returning
to the roof, flung to the evening breeze a

trail committee, will establish headquarters
in Sioux Falls at a very early date. He

ity, but admits that a hard campaign will
be necessary to meet the campaign planned
by the republicans. Senator Pettigrew will
return to Sioux Falls after the st. Louis
convention. but will not be able to take
part in the campaign until September !.
From that time till election day he will
take an active part in the campaign, and
has delighted the populists by saying he Is
going to deliver 100 speeches. Judge G.. s.
Palmer, the senator's right bower, will, of
course, lake an active part in the cam
paign, especially in this county. He will
lay special stress on the transportation
question, claiming that the Aberdeen plat
form Is a meaningless shift, in spite of the
fact that he wrote ii himself, and that it
was adopted just as he presented 1t to the
convention. The judge will say but little
upon the money question, as he has al
ways been a sound money man, and in this
section of the state would have but little
influence for free silver.
Senator Kyle will go to the Black Hills
about August 5, and will thoroughly stump
that part of the state before he begins his
work on this side of the river. II. -.
Loucks will speak nightly from the open.
ing to the closing of the campaign. Andy
Lee and Melvin Grigsby will go together,
like the apostles of old. Grigsby will dc
the talking and Lee the handshaking. Ex-
Chairman John T. Cogan of the county
committee says that from the commence
ment of the campaign until its close a
light will be burning nightly in every

MILWAUKEE, Wis. July Ex-senator
William f. Villas and General Edward S.
Bragg have each prepared an address TO the
democratic party in Wisconsin which will
be submitted to the other two delegates-at-
large at a conference to be held in Mil
waukee. One address will be adopted by
the four delegates and issued to explain
the course pursued by the gold delegates
from Wisconsin to the national democratic
convention. Bragg's address is short and
charges the south and populists with over
throwing the long established rules and Gus
toms of the party and being controlled by
the spirit OF CoXey and Herr Most. The
address OF Senator Villas scores the conyen-
tion for refusing to endorse the Cleveland
administration, declares that free silver
means ruin to the country, and urges the
party to nominate a straight gold ticket.

The on arrangements for the

short meeting last evening, but transacted
very little business. The principal thing
decided upon was the location Of the
speakers stand. 1t had at first been con
templated holding the reception in the ro-
tunda of the city hall, but the promoters
thought that would prove too small for the
purpose. 1t was then suggested that Mr..
Bryan address the people from the east side
of the court house grounds. Last evening
both of these plans were thrown overheard
and it was decided that he should speak
from the balcony of the Creighton theatsr.
Further than this no business was trans
acted and the committee adjourned until
