It Is to be five stories high, 40x210, and Is to -cost $30,000. The addition to the factory Is to secure greater facilities for the piano department, which has become Imperative on account of the largely increased demand for the Kimball pianos.

Tho present facilities are sufficient for an output of 8000 Instruments a year. In view of the persistent efforts to malign and decry the Kimball piano, this fact is very significant. It shows that the dealers who handle the MM MM BBB A II MM AA KK II MM BBB A A II AAA ft II BBB A A LUX LIXL PIANOS want more of them than they can get. i If they want more than they can get, it shows that there Is a demand for them on the part of the public With the public at his back, Mr. Kimball can well afford to view with supreme contempt, even the strongest efforts to Injure his business, not to speak of the silly and puny ones that have so far been put forward.

Under return to 101J W. SEVENTH ST. President Harrlnon Think It will Prove a Great nurceM. Pittsbcboh, Oct. 21.

By the Associated Press. Last week W. C. Crone-myer of the United States Iron, Steel and Tin Plate Works at Demmler, sent to President Harrison a box of tin manufactured at the Demmler works. This morning Croncmyer received the following letter from the President, dated Washington, October 19: iiy Dear Sir: I have your letter of October 15 and the box of bright tin plate which send as a specimen of the product be-ng turned out by the Cnlted States Iron, Steel and Tin Plate Company.

I have no Hklll in determining the character of thU work, but to the eye it seems eminently satisfactory, and I thank you for this evl dence that a new industry has been established In the United States. I cannot quite understand how any American can doubt that we hare the mechanical skill and business sagacity to establish successfully here the manufacture of tin plate. So other country certainly surpasses us in the inventive genius of its citizens, or in the bUBiness sagacity of its capitalists. It is surprising to me that any patriotic American should approach this question with a desire to see this great and interesting experiment fall, or with unwillingness to accept the evidence of its success. It will be a great step in the direction of commercial independence when we produce our own tin plate.

It seems to mc that nothing, unless it be lack of faith in the maintenance of the present law, can thwart tfalM desirable achievement. I can understand how our success should be doubted and our failure accepted with satisfaction in Wales, but I cannot understand how any American can take that view of the question, or why he should always approach every evidence of the successful establishment of this Industry in this country with a disposition to discredit and reject it. If the great experiment is to fall, our own people should not add to the mortiHcatlon of failure the crime of rejoicing at it. A WRECKER'S WORK. Details of the Disaster on the Burlington Road.

Two Engineers and Two Passengers Killed Outright Somebody Had Tampered with the Switch Two Men Arrested on Suspicion. By Telegraph to The Times. Galeobcro, (111.,) Oct 21. By "the Associated Press. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy fast passenger train, which left here at 10:30 o'clock last night, was derailed near Monmouth, sixteen miles west of here, by an open switch.

The whole train of seven cars, save the sleeper, turned oyer on its side. The killed are: Engineer Al Emery, Galesburg, 111., Traveling Engineer George Courtney, Galesburg; Mrs. George Allen, Lamoni, Iowa; Frank L. Johnson, Avon, 111. About eighteen persons were seriously injured.

Great surprise was expressed Wiat the list of casualties was not larger. The saddest casualty happened in the first chair car. George Allen, his wile and baby were seated near the middle of the car when the accident occurred. The car tipped over and Mrs. Allen was killed.

The baby was hurled across the ear, and except for a cut in its head was uninjured. Mr. Allen received only bruises. The scene after the wreck was heartrending. The imprisoned passengers broke out the windows of the cars to effect their escape.

A large force of surgeons and railroad officials went from here and Burlington. The Coroner visited the scene of the wreck, and will hold an inquest tomorrow. F. C. Rice, superintendent of the Illinois lines of the Burlington road, expressed the opinion that the switch had been tampered with after the wreck, as it was found half turned.

The news of the wreck created great excitement here, and hundreds are visiting the scene. Mosmouth, (111.,) Oct. 21. The officials of the Burlington road here assert that the canse of last night's disastrous wreck is that 'the switch was deliberately tampered with. C'-roner Taylor expresses the same opinion, and asserts that the guilty party will soon be caught.

Two men were arrested oa suspicion today. One was released soon after, but W. R. R. Healey, who has been working on a farm, is held.

Some other people assert that the switch was not in good condition; that the lock did not work, and that the vibration of the rails might spring it open. The Coroner, however, represents that the switch was in perfect condition, although one of his assistants asserted 'this afternoon that the lock could be slipped through a big link and the pins pulled. There were at least 100 people on the train, and it is marvelous that half of them were not killed. The chair car in which two passengers were killed, was literally smashed to pieces. Besides those named in previous dispatches a dozen other people received slight injuries.

JUMPED THE TRACK. Wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio Two Men Killed. PiTTSBvaon, Oct. 21. By the Associated Press.

A frightful wreck occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, near St. John's station, forty miles east of Cumberland, this afternoon, resulting In the Instant killing of two persons and the injury of four others, three of whom will die. The dead are: James Knuckles, engineer; Rodney Richards, fireman. The injured are: W. H.

Llppincott, H. Silvers and Charles Craig, postal clerks, who will die: J. C. McDonald, a passenger from Baltimore, seriously injured. The train was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour, when suddenly the engine jumped the track, and was followed by the baggage car, postal car.

1 Thousands of broken Tennessee hearts and thousands of empty pocketbooks were carried away from Cumberland Park this ervening. Direct, that matchlessCalifornia pacer, had shown Hal Pointer his heels with ease in three straight heats. The time of the second heat was the best ever made in a race in harness, lowering Pointer's record a second. In the first heat Pointer had the pole and held it until the quarter, when Direct, who had been on almost even terms with him from the start, made a magnificent spurt and pulled away. The second heat saw Direct at the pole, and he held it throughout.

The best Pointer could do was to stay abreast up to the half-mile, when Direct gradually drew away. The last heat was a repetition of the others. The time by quarters was: First heat, 0:32, 1 :05, 1 :38 and second, 0:33, 1:04, 1:88 and third, 1:38 It is believed by many that Direct could have gone in 2 :08 in the second heat had Pointer pressed him more closely. Pointer was a big favorite in the po'ols on the first heat, selling at $100 against 30 for Direct. The betting for the second heat was not materially changed, but the third found Direct selling at $10 against $5 for Pointer, Trotting, 2:40 class Nashville won.

Robert Bonner's eyes sparkled last night when he received a telegram announcing Sunol's great victory over time. He said: "I regard Su' nol as the most wonderful animal ever I hesitate to compare her with Maud as the latter made her record over a regulation track. As all horsemen know, the kite-sfcaped track, over which Suftol trotted today, is a. trifle faster than the regulation one. Still, it is a glorious I will say I paid $40,000 for MaudS.

and $41,000 for Sunol. There is a regulation track at Stockton, and. Sunol will trot over it later, and I think she will excel Maud S's marvelous speed. These two horses I regard as nearly evenly matched. Senator Stanford, from whom I purchased Sunol, has written to me that the mare will trot in .2:06.

He knows more about her capabilities than I do, and he may be right. I believe her performance of 2 10 as a three-year-old is greater than this, her record as a five year-old, and I think every horseman will agree with me. The three greatest trotters in the world are, in my opinion, Maud Sunol and Nancy Hanks. We have not had enough experience With the kite-shaped track to tell what may be accomplished on it. Charles Marvin, Stanford's trainer and superintendent of his ranch, has written to me that the kite-shaped track being new is somewhat slow.

He says after the fall rains in a week or so, the track will be vacked solid and that Sunol will reduce perhaps by a fraction of a second het present magnificent time. "Maud Is now breeding, but I believe that when she is in perfect condition and in good training she can trot in about 2:07. I believe also that Sunol can equal her on a regulation track. I will bring her out about November 1, and will jog her on the roads for a while. In the spring I will have her put in training to beat the record over a regulation track." PALO.

ALTO DOES IT, He Lower HU Record One Second on the Stockton Track. Stockton, Oct. 21. By the Associated Press. Two more world's records were broken on the Slockton track today.

The Palo Alto yearling Bell Bird, driven by Marvin, went against her record of 2 2 7 and made a mile in 2:26. Her quarters were 1:14,1:51 and The filly did not make a skip in the mile. Marvin then drove two-year-old Arion by Electioneer against his record of 2:15, and he made the mile without a skip, finishing wonderfully strong His quarters were: 1:07, and 2:14. All the timers agreed, and the veteran horsemen said the record would never be beaten by any other horse. Orrin Hickok said he never, saw such a game finish.

He added: "That is a horse that will make tro-jnlnute work If any horse ever does. Palo Alto came out lame but warmed up well and went against his record of 2:12 He made the mile in 2:11, lowering hit record. His quarters were: 83, 1:05, 1:89, 2:11. Some watches made it 2:11, and two timers were a shade over was called 2 :11, The Hopkins-Searlea Contest. Will The Disconsolate Widower Spends Another Day on the Stand.

He Deemed a Marriage Settlement Buying; a Husband. A Keen Bunlnens Man Who phi Not Bead Legal Documents Affecting Ills Intercut Tim's Mistakes Due to Tonth, By Telegraph to The Tlmee. Salem Oct. 21. By the Associated Press.

The bearing in the Searles will case was resumed this morning with Edward F. Searles on the stand. L. S. Dabney appeared for the first time with counsel for the will, and Russell J.

Wilson of San Francisco joined the counsel for the contestants. At the opening, Burley, for the contestants asked if Searles knew why Timothy Hopkins had not been notified before November 5 of the proposed marriage, and he replied that he never dictated to Mrs. Hopkins anything in regard to her son. He first heard of the marriage settlement from Mrs. Hopkins.

Witness objected to a marriage settlement after the English style as it looked too much like buying a husband. Witness did not read the paper when it was signed. He was told that it was a marriage settlement, but knew that It could not impose any giving by him to her as he had nothing in particular to give by a marriage settlement. His wife probably knew its contents, as she had caused It to made. He did not know whether there had been anything paid as a compensation for the trustees under this settlement.

Witness never opened a letter addressed to his wife before marriage and none without her permission since. Mr. Burley here called for the diaries kept by Mrs. Searles while in Europe. Continuing his testimony, witness said that Mr, Stillman came to Meth-uen on his return and saw Mrs.

Searles on business matters. At the time of the marriage witness heard Mrs. Hopkins speak of peril to her property, and that she wished Stillman to go to California to look the matter up. His report-after returning was that the property was in god shape. The first suggestion of copartnership came from Stillman.

at the suinrestion of Mrs. Searles to the effect that she would like some arrangement made to manage her business. Witness did not read. the copartnership papers, as ha had confidence in the party that drew them. His wife never, to his knowledge, took independent advice In regard to the matter.

Witness knew that some California property had been deeded to him, the deeds running direct from bis wife; although unrecorded, the deeds of the same property were in existence. Witness did not understand that the lawyers were to have $65,000 a year in any event, but they were to have 10 per cent, of the Income. He understood that the 10 per cent, for the attorneys, of both assets and Income of the partnership, was for their services. Mr. Burley put in the will of Edward F.

Searles, made on the same day as that of his wife now in contest, July 1 6. It left all his property to his wife. All the real estate, witness stated, was in his uame, but the deeds were unrecorded. He had not attempted to transfer them and made no papers or declarations of trust in regard to them since his wife's death, and the matter had not been discussed in his presence. He did not know of his wife signing more than one codicil to her will after marriage, and no other wills than those shown.

It was suggested before they left for Europe that the deeds be made to witness. He did not make the suggestion and did not know who The papers were executed before they left, as Mr. Stillman was to go to California to look up the property. A letter received at Nice with the deeds was produced. The letters gave as the reason for making the deeds that the title was in Stillman.

He had a repugnance to recording the marriage settlement. At the afternoon session Mr. Burley asked the witness if he was aware that Stillman and Hubbard had a voice in the kind of securities which they could withdraw. Witness replied that he only knew they could draw that amount. Witness had his name left off the office door to relieve Mm from a large number of applicants of one kind and another, as he Was not to be an active partner, Mrs.

Searles wishing him to attend to domestic affairs. When he signed the supplemental agreement he understood that the Great Bar-rington property was exempt from the copartnership assets, and put in his name to protect it in case of accident. The will of Edward Searles, dated November 22, 18 87, was introduced. It left the Income of a sum sufllclent to yield $10,000 per year for the support of his mother, and" the residue to his wife. The trustees and executors were his wife, Stillman and T.

H. Hubbard. Letters from Stillman and Hubbard and Mr. and Mrs. Searles were here offered and occupied the remainder of the afternoon.

Most of them were of no particular interest. The first, dated February 11. 18 88, was from Mr. Stillman in California and estimated Mrs. Searles's property, exclusive of the Great Barrington estate, at counting the indebtedness of the Western Development Company and Pacific Improvement Company at face value.

Referring to the desire of Tim for Sherwood Hall and money enough to run it, he says. "It will require an income of $500,000 yearly. Tim has honestly endeavored to do the best for her and any mistakes that have been made are du to youth and inexperi ence." On November 1 8, he writes that he had drawn a new will for Mrs. Searles, which had been rendered nee essary by a change in affairs.

Following came Gov. Thoroand staff, the Mayor and City Council and carriages containing Gov. Hill and distinguished guests of the family, Mr. Grady's family and the Monument Committee. Shortly after the procession halted at the statue the exercises began.

Gov. Charles S. H. Northern presided. The statue was unveiled by Miss Gussie Grady; Fulton Colville delivered an address in behalf of the Grady Monument Committee.

Gov. David B. Hill of New York was introduced and delivered an oration. Gov. Hill's address, which was a lengthy one, reviewed Mr.

Grady's career "and was warmly eulogistic. Speaking of the press Gov. Hill said: It is our best security for the preservation of our political institutions: our best safeguard against the perversion of our Government, apatnst loading it up with private business. To our editors we may look when Socialism and centralization stand unrebuked by those to whom ballots have been entrusted. The freedom and the growth of the press will invigorate that clause of our Constitution wblch withholds from the Government all but a few specific and express-Jy-jrrauted powers.

Better every just expansion of private freedom than any growth of governmental function, still less of governmental usurpation. A touching letter from Henry Watter-son on Brady was read tonight at a banquet tendered Got. Hill by tho Young Man's XKaafuiratifi Clafet.
