PIANO MAKERS FAIL
HsIiett & Davis Drag Down the Schaffe
Piano Company

CHICAGO, July 1S.-The Schaffer
Piano company has assigned to F. f.
Jennison. No statement of assets and
liabilities has been filed.
The failure of Schaffer was, 1t is said,
the direct result of the failure of the
Hallett & Davis company yesterday.
The Schaffe rcompany manufactured
pianos and most of their product was
handled by the Hallet & Davis company.
The Sshaffer company, in selling goods
to the other concerns, took the notes of
the Hallett & Davis company and used
the notes in purchasing material and
supplies for its manufacturing business.
The Schaffer company thus became LA
BILE on the notes of the Hallett & Davis
company. Those connected with the
Schaffer company place the assets at
about $4,000 and liabilities about $780,,

that Tip Top would prove cheaper to use

1t was landslide Mr.. Mckinley has
swept the country from the Atlantic to the

the first time in 20 years in presidential

the republican electoral column Nebraska

jority and the silver fusion prevailed in Kan
sas, Missouri, Tennessee, Washington and
North Carolina, which were enrolled among

The developments whitfield down to fine
point the republican plurality In Ken
lucky and California, but Mckinley q

secure, and 1t is probable that he will have
practically he same relative standing in the
electoral college as that which Mr. Cleveland
won in the democratic tidal wave in 1892.
beginning with Chicago, the storm centre
of the most extraordinary political contest
the country has ever witnessed, where the
plurality for Mckinley Is roughly set at
b1 600, thus 1nSurlng the "a electoral 'otes

great middle western commonwealths
which have been classedby some as "doubt-
full" nearly the same ratio of sound money
strength is shown, and state after state adds
its quota to the grand total which insnres
the election of Mckinley and Hobart.
Kentucky, redeemed by strenuous efforts,
leads in the extent Of its Mckinley plurality
the little column OF border states wrested
from the Bryan party. Maryland, with a
very large republican majority In Baltimore

THE PRICE OF BREAD.
England and the Continent May BE
Seriously Disturbed.

LONDON, England Nov.4-Both in England
and on the continent we are likely to hear II
good deal that is unpleasant this winter
about the price of bread The recent ad-
vance in the price Of wheat has been seized
upon by bakers everywhere as warrant for
an advance amounting to II cent on the
four-pound loaf. and they let 1t be under
stood that further rise is not improbable X
wheat continues to go up.
Unfortunately. it cannot be remembered
that, when wheat began to drop five years
ago, the bakers put down the price of their
loaves in proportion. and there is naturally
a lot of bitter talk about the rapacity or
middemen. This will not grow less as Win
ter comes on. Every European country, in
cluding England, has administrative ma
chinery for regulating the size OF loaves.
To this provision about the price of them
could be fixed without much difficulty, and
1t is not improbable that movement to
have this done will obtain a good deal OF
momentum before spring comes.

Mckinley Gains i'm the Cities.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. S-There are evil
dences Of big frauds and trickery in the

larger majority for Bryan than was at first
thought. The republicans have made the
biggest gain in this state for 10 years. Re-
turns, slowly coming in, show close con-
test II. l.. Thorp, republican, wins in the
4th district easily.
Twenty-one out Of the % precincts in
Richmond give Bryan 5.657, Mckinley 4,O24.
The remaining precincts will not materially
affect Bryan $ majority. Lynchburg gives
Bryan 10 majority. In 1892 1t gave Cleveland
1,066 majority.
Twelve precincts out of 26 in this city give
Bryan 1928. Mckinley 1892, republican
gain OF 700 over 1892. McKnley's majority
at Clifton Forge is 20s, republican gain of
so. Charlotte county give Bryan 1928, Nc
