Big Bargain List of Pianos Free

A list that is the biggest that has
ever been compiled, comprising fine
pianos, has just been issued by Lyon g.
Healy. This list contains many Stein
way, Weber, Krakaners, Washburns,
Sterlings, Huntingtons and other we'll
known pianos. Moreover the partic-
ulars of each instrument are given, SO
that the buyer may Judge for himself
whether or not the piano isa bargain.
This list will interest persons who
want very good piano, for the reason
that many of these instruments are
slightly used in name only, that is they
have had exhibition use in show wind
ows or have been used for brief periods
in artist studios.
The prices quoted are phenomenally
low. Lyon & Healy are making de-
termined effort to close out several
hundred instruments of this description
within the next 30 days, and the prices
have reduced very materially.
Send for a copy of this list. If you
do not wish to pay all cash for piano,
you can arrange for monthly payment
on portion Of the price. The only
difference in the cost would be 6 per
cent on deferred payments. Address
Lyon & Healy,10 Adams Street Chicago,
Lyon & Healy exhibit the largest and
most varied stock of pianos in the
world over 1000 instruments.

health but at different times particular

Odd Funeral Of Workmen Who Were
0var,s,hstnoad IN Molten Steel,

Odd Funeral Of Workmen Who Were
Overwhelmed In Molten Steel.
Philadelphia, Nov. 20. = A funeral
without a parallel in this city took
place at the Midvale Steel works,
where a 4O-ton ingot Of steel, per-
meated with the flesh, blood and bones
Of two workmen, was buried with the
solemn rites OF the Roman Catholic
church. The workmen who were so
strangely laid away were John Forkin
and Joseph Gazda, two foreign-speak-
ing laborers, who met a horrible death
a week ago. They we're in a pit near
cupola containing many tons of molten
steel. A plug gave way and 10000
pounds of the fiery fluid poured from
the cupola and overwhelmed them. The
men were completely incinerated and
not a trace Of themselves nor their
clothing was left.
The Midvale Steel company was
averse to selling the steel or using It
for the purpose it was intended, and
it was decided to bury it with the
rites of the church to which the un-
fortunate men belonged. Accordingly
the 40-ton ingot. oval in shape, 2S feet
long. G feet wide and feet thick, was
moved by travelling crane to the
rear of the machine shop, where a
grave 10 feet deep had been made.
Heads were barred and flags lowered
to half staff while two priests conduct
ed the services. After the sisters OF
Gazda had been led away the great
ingot was covered with earth and the
funeral party dispersed. The grave OF
the men will be appropriately marked
by the company.

Work to Take 20 Years and Cost over
s1oO.ooo,ooo More Than Lock Canal.
washington, Nov. 2O.-Another cri-
sis in the history of the Panama canal
undertaking was reached, when the
board of consulting engineers by a
vote of 9 to 5 reached the momentous
decision that the great waterway
should be of the sea level type.
If this action of the board is ap-
proved by the president, as it is conf
IDENTIFY expected to be, it will precipi-
tate new and probably prolonged
and acrimonious debate on the whole
question of the canal in congress when
the report embodying the action of the
engineers goes to that body.
This may be looked for. because the
digging of a sea level canal will take
from Is to 20 years and perhaps
longer. while conservative estimates
Of the difference in cost between a
lock and sea level canal run from
s1OO, ,OOO, 900 to $2OO,OOO,OOO.

"Every Community Should Be Empow-

Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. 21.-The
National Grange, Patrons Of Husban-
dry. went on record in favor OF tenn
perance and the curtailing of saloons
declaring that they should be
abridged until they are abolished A
resolution says: Every community
should be empowered by law to vote
every saloon from it's midst or its bor-
ders." The grange strongly condemned
all influences brought to win legisla'
tion by lobbyists or others. and de-
plored the use of money in campaigns.
''The recent agitation" says a resolu-
ton. "and Investigations in regard to
extravaganza in the management OF
our great financial institutions, the eX'
posure of graft in high places and the
enormous power exercised by great
transportation companies through
combined arrangements have aroused
the people to a realization Of the ne
cesities of vigorous action If they
would protect themselves against the
inordinate desires Of wealth.

Philadelphia, Nov. 22,-Lying on

phia. helpless from paralysis. David
F. Rowe. an elderly man, was shot
four times by Casper Cooper, his SON
in-law. who then fed from the house
and killed himself by sending bullet
through his head. The father-in-law's
wounds are so serious that he had to
be removed to a hospital. 1t is be-
lieved he will recover. Cooper had
been married to Rowe's daughter for
three years, but the wife left him
about eight months ago because of ILL
treatment. The husband returned to
his father-in-law's house and asked to
see his wife. Rowe said she was out
earning her living. The father-in-law
reproached the son-in-law for ill-treat-
ing his daughter, and quarrel follow
ed. which ended by Cooper shooting
his wife's father while he lay on the
couch. Before anyone could interfere
Cooper ran from the house and, enter
ing a building two blocks from the
scene of the shooting, sent a bullet
crashing into his brain. He was dead
when picked up.

the recommendations of the general
board of the navy on new construction
were carefully considered. The gem
eral board is in favor of ships Of much

ment being regarded as a minimum

are other important factors which
should be considered along with in

ATLANTIC CITY
HAS A MYSTERY
Attempts to Wreck Pennsylvania
Flyer May Bring Arrests
GoODRICES STORY DOUBTED

Atlantic City, Nov. 21.-Two at
tempts to wreck a Pennsylvania rail-
road train and what may have been
an attempt to murder the man who
says he frustrated the first effort are
the salient features of one Of the most
baffling mysteries that has ever come
to the attention of the police OF this
city.
As the scene of the would-be crime
is out of the jurisdiction. the police
here are not bound to make an inVes-
tigation, but they are, nevertheless,
paying great attention to the case and
Captain of Detectives Maxwell says
that the developments promise SEN
sational climax Captain Maxwell
freely admits that he has some startl-
ing evidence in his possession which
to divulge now would defeat the ends
of his examination, which will PROB
ably result in an arrest.
In the tangle of peculiar circum-
stances only one thing is certain and
that is that the train for Philadelphia
was saved from a disastrous and un-
ouestionably fatal wreck by the mer-
est chance.
The remainder of the case hinges on
the truthfulness of Lloyd Goodrich,
young man % years old, who is stay
ing with DR.. w. H. Walling, at 1903
Pacific avenue. Goodrich tells in de-
tail narrative of a remarkable ex-
perience when he was bound to pile
of railroad ties and left on the tracks
to be killed He says he escaped by
cutting the ropes with his pocket
knife. Certain discrepancies in his
statements have led the police to be
skeDtical of their entire truth and they
mean to question him more closely
When seen at DR.. Walling's resi-
dence the young man exhibited both
wrists. which were chafed as though
by cords and long red welt on the
back of his neck was just such mark
as would have been made by rope.
On his forehead there we're marks OF
a severe blow.
Goodrich has not yet been catechis-
ed by the police, but will be closely
questioned after they have secured
what other evidence they can and It
will then be seen how closely his YER
sion fits the known facts.
The second attempt was made at ex-
actly the same spot where Goodrich
saws he had his battle The position
was so chosen that had the ties not
been removed they would have plung-
ed the locomotive into the stream and
there would have been a fearful wreck.
It was Charles Adams, a bay fisher
man. and William Hackett, an en-
Move of the railroad, who averted the
disaster.
Adams was on his way to visit his
sIoop when he saw what looked like a
man lying across the tracks. On in
vestigation he saw that five ties had
been laid there, one across both rails
and the other four across the outside
rail. AS he was wondering who could
have attempted such crime he heard
the whistle of the train and calling
for help to man who was approach
ing he set to work to clear the tracks
The other, who was Hackett, as
sisted in the work. The two had not
removed the distractions a minute
before the train dashed by.
While the young mans account by
no means explains the case satisfac
torily. it is nevertheless the only plaus
ible explanation thus far advanced
which accounts for everything.
