DISTRIBUTION OF
PIANOS
THREE or HERMAN WIsE'S Gus
TONERS ARE MADE HAPPY. c.
POPE, s. 0. HENDRrcKs0N AND
LUDWIG CARLSON, WINNERS.

One OF the most successful social
parties, Of the year, was what was gem
orally known M the "Wise' party, which
was held at Logan's Hall last night. The
occasion was the distribution OF the
three pianos which this enterprising mer'
chant had offered 10 his patrons. From
the crowded condition Of the hall when
the first number on the dance program
was called it would appear that many
OF our citizens, both ladies and gentle.
men. had been having business rela-
tions with Mr.. Wise. An excellent or.
chcstra had been engaged and dancing
was INDUCED in until about 1890, when
the following judges Of the contest we're
selected by those attending: II. i.
JeiTries. Jas. Hannaford, 0lof Anderson,
Jms II. Hansen and Louis Erickson.
Earl Holmes was selected as the boy
who should draw the lucky numbers,
and as he appeared, blindfolded, there
was a suspense.
The contest was in three divisions.
one piano was to 90 TO customers re-
siding outside Of the city. Country
customers had yhitc tickets. and in the
white division, No. 55l, held By j. c.
Pope. OF Elsie. was drawn out.
Division No. were city customers
residing west Of Twelfth street; they
held yellow tickets; in this division No
SAG came out and Mr.. s. o. Hendriekson
Of 4l6 Taylor avenue, was the lucky
holder.
The third division comprised all that
part Of the city situated east of Twelfth
street. No. 81. held BY Mr.. Ludwig Carl
son, nephew Of Otto Carlson, proved the
lucky number for the east portion Of
the city.
General good feeling prevailed, and
the evident fairness Of the contest
brought forth pleasant comments on thu
business methods OF the host OF th'
evening. After the distribution OF thu
pianos, dancing was resumed until aftel
midnight, and all left for their homes
wishing continuance OF the "Wise" dis
tributions.
Mr.. Wise when seen after the function
was IN a good humor, reflected. no doubt
from his guests, and he stated tha
commencing this morning another plan
contest will be started and the contes
will be closed next summer in a lik
manner Mr.. Wise also suggested tina
his customers save their sale slips TO
this distribution which will be on tn
same plan as the one just concluded.

STRUGGLES WITH BURGLAR.
Dr.. Weiss Puts Up Nersce Battle With
Negro Armed With Razor.

BROOKLYN, Oct. Sl.-In q death
struggle in the dark with a negro burg
lar armed with razor DR.. Leopold
Weiss, Of 27s West llSth street. fought
his way from his bedroom to the base
ment of his home early today and fell
exhausted only after he had wrested the
weapon from the introducer and used it
upon him with telling effect.
DR.. Weiss acts as financial agent here
for an English actor who is his friend.
He drew the actors money out of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company before
that institution closed its doors, and be.
lieves the negro who. he says he recog-
nized as former porter, saw him in the
line at the bank.
DR.. Weiss was awakened by some one
at his bureau. He sprang out OF bed
and upon the negro. They clinched and
went tumbling about the room, out into
the hall and down the steps. On the first
floor they fought desperately, the negro
using the razor constantly. Then they
rolled down another flight into the base
ment.
Weiss then succeeded in grasping the
razor and slashed the burglar. As the
struggle stopped moment he turned
on the electric lights and says he recog'
nized the negro. The burglar ther
sprang upon him, bowling him to the
floor, snatching the razor from his hant
ana escaped.

A warrant for Morgan's arrest has

nue. officer and on account of this decla-
ration was made the guest of Captain
Mason of the steamship Costa Rica and
the sheriff of Clatsop county, besides
ingratiating himself in the favor Of
many others of Portland and Astoria.
The Morgan case is complicated
one. For months the fellow had been
travelling between this city Seattle, As
toria and San Francisco. His frequent
trips on the Costa Rica, his affable man
ners and his apparent knowledge Of gov
emment revenue work made Captain
Mason and Purser Haywood think that
their passenger was fine fellow, wor-
thy of their confidence. At Astoria
Morgan met the sheriff and was fire.

Investigation has shown that Morgan
has been making the rounds Of the
