A piano has been brought to this
country that is a novel innovation in
musical instruments. A discription
in the New York World says: :
'-The piano is made to utter sounds and
words more or leas intelligibly by mechani
cal contrivances in imitation of all the
separate organs of speech in man. A bel
lows from behind sends the force of air into
the larynx, where the primal sound is pro
duced by the vibrations of a thin piece of
bone. The sound coming from here is
modified at will. The lips and .tongue are
made of India rubber and the lower jaw
and tongue are movable .and thus, abletQ,,
control me sounds wnicn are produced.
: "To supply the place of a nose, directlv
underneath the mouth and in connection
with iL is a lemon-shaped chamber to
which a rubber tube curved upward forms
an outlet When the air is driven through,
the nasal sounds of the instrumentare pro
duced. A series of stops placed directly in
iront or toe vocal cords in the larynx, and
under the control of the operator by pedals,
regulate the pitch of the sound. The key
board by which it is operated consists of
fourteen keys representing fourteen distinct
letters or sounds."

There was a drunken rQW among the col

last that almost assumed the proportions of
a riot Finally, Capt, R. P. Paddison suc
ceeded in arresting Noah Powell, one of
the ringleaders of the disturbance, and put
him is the guard "house, when the remainder,
of the crowd cooled down somewhat.--Soon
afterwards Powell, who is a desperate" fel-
low, managed somehow to set fire to the
prison in which he was : confined, and he
would certainly have ' perished but for
promptness on the part of those who went
to his rescne, who broke the lock to the door
and took the "badly frightened criminal out.

Fire Yesterday morning.
Yesterday morning, about 9 o'clock, fire
was discovered in the northwestern corner
of the residence of Mrs. James Dawson,
corner of Chesnutand Front streets. I The
.alarm was sounded for the third district
and the department wVrjTqnlckry on"hand,
the flames being finally extinguished before
they could get under good headway. The
fire originated somewhere under the roof
and extended from the northwest towards
the northeast corner of the building, but
how it originated is a mystery difficult to
solve, as the family say there has been no
fire in that particular part of the building
in several months. It is thought that the
damage from fire and water together will
amount to from $600 to $800. The most
of the furniture was removed. The loss
was covered by 'insurance with Messrs.

the larceny of a watch, the property of Mr.

from Ihe evidence , that Mr, Westermann
lost the watch on the occasion of a proces
sion during the late political campaign and
that a daughter of Rosa Carter found it,
and the two, when it was traced to their
possession, refused to give it up. . As the
evidence did not . sustain the charge of lar
ceny the case was dismissed, but Mr. Wes
termann afterwards recovered" his watch
from a man into whose hands it had been
entrusted by Rosa Carter, and who surren
dered it. "
