A TEST CASE.
Decision Therein Opens the Doors to
Scores of Suits for Damages.

SSOICS VI Sulho iSi Dai'idSSos
Albany, N. Y, Dec. 14-As the re-
suit of a decision by the court of ap-
peals yesterday the city of New York
may have to defend scores Of suits for
damages for personal injuries growing
out of an explosion at public display
of fireworks. The court reversed the
lower courts and granted a new trial
to Solomon Landau, who appealed
from a judgment dismissing his COM
plant in an action to recover for the
death of George Landau, his son.
On November 4, 1902, there was a
display of fireworks in Madison
Square, New York, in connection with
parade and demonstration of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic
Clubs. A premature explosion OF
bombs occurred which caused injuries
to $50 persons and many were killed.
The Landau suit is a test case, upon
which many others depend. His ad-
| ministrator sued for $25,000.

entirely an outburst of loyalty from
the multitude.
His holiness was preceded, sur
rounded and followed by guards of the
court and high prelates. The
pope was thus escorted to the throne,
| the cardinals. archbishops and bishops
forming a square about him.
The ceremony that followed was in
teresting in the extreme. Pope Plus

really a harvest time for those who
want pianos.
There is a magnificent Baldwin small
grand in genuine San Domingo mahog-
any: a counterpart OF the one made for
Madame Sembrich. and which sells for
$500. This piano is offered for $500 One
fine Hazelton. $500 upright grand re-
mains, this is marked $3.50. Lower priced
pianos are marked as low as SIPS. Pianos
of the class sold by Pfeifrer are very
seldom. indeed. sold under their regular
price. There never was a Hazelton or
Baldwin plano sold IN his city under
it's regular fixed price before: there new
er will be again. Fake sales. so-called
bargains. are common enough. enuine

is rare. indeed.
Persons interested in buying pianos
should come in and see these instru-

this 1t will be necessary to come 1mme-
diately: there are not more than twenty
pianos left in the warerooms. lS24-l326
