Xhls Great SaJvage Sade
Of Guaranteed Pieoios
Ends Saturday
This extraordinary tire sale of high-grade
Pianos and Player-Pianos positively ends Sat
urday night, as the contractors engaged for
repairs, redecorating and additions insist upon
a practically empty wareroom on Monday
morning next.
No one who hasn’t inspected these instru
ments can form any idea of the grand values
they represent; why, many of the prices quoted
are almost ridiculously low when the fine con
dition of the instruments is considered.
No one who has the least idea of buying a |
piano can afford to miss this pano chance. It |
is the greatest money-saving opportunity New
ark has ever seen.
• , During the last two days of ihe sale you ||
will find many SPECIAL BARGAINS here that
cannot fail to interest you. And, remember, every instrument is MUSICALLY PERFECT AND \
FULLY GUARANTEED, case finish excepted. \
Every purchaser has the benefit of our EASY PAYMENTS and “GUARANTEED \
SATISFIED” PLAN. If you are not satisfied with your choice, you can exchange within one
year and all money paid will be allowed toward the purchase of another piano.

Bargains in Player-Pianos Tha^t Are Surprising

"Is this—that we are on the job collect*
• lng the facts. It may be several days
before all the facts relating to the mat
ter are in shape. If these facts dis
close that there has been criminal
negligence we wll place them before
the grand Jury.
"I am appalled at the loss of life at |
the explosion yesterday and I have al
ready set in motion an investigation. I
From what I have been able to learn
from a precursory investigation some- j
body is certainly criminally liable. I j
do not care who is to blame, the guilty
person shall certainly be punished.
“X am going before the grand jury in |
the morning and set before that body
all the facts I have in my possession
and will ask It to make a rigid investi
gation. I will use all the forces In the
office of the prosecutor to lay before
the grand Jury every fact which will
show who Is to blame for the explosion.
"Tlie law of New Jersey Is sufficient
to punish the guilty in this case, and
punished they will be. If the responsi
ble man is the highest official of the
road he will be punished, and the same
will hold good If the guilty man Is only j
a day laborer. I cannot express an j
opinion ,,at this time as to who is re- i
sponsible.”
Captain Ira Harris, of the United
States inspection service, declares that
the explosion brings home a menace
which has long threatened the traffic of
this port. He recommends that addi
tional Federal safeguards be thrown
around the transportation of high ex
plosives up and down the lanes of water
truffle.
While great progress has been made
In clearing up the debris that litters
the docks and railroad yards for hun
dreds of yards surrounding the spot
where the fearful explosion occurred,
there remains today many evidences
of the untold havoc wroght by the con
cussion that accompanied the blast.
Unknown to the hundreds who swarmed
over the docks near pier 7, where the
eViplosion occurred, there were lying j
seiJitered about tons of loose sticks of |
dynamite, and workmen are today gin
gerly picking up the explosive and re
moving it to a place of security. This
work is necessnrlly slow, and It Is not
beyond the realm of possibility that
more explosions may occur, as it Is not
definitely known where or under what
conditions all of the explosive Is lying.
Both the Central railroad and Jersey
City officials assert that the railroad
terminal. In which nearly every pane
of glass was shattered, will not have
to be demolished or rebuilt, as the
damage Is entirely local. There Is, how
ever, a big crack In one of the walls
of the station, but the railroad'Oifnclals
believe the wall can be made stable.
Several reports of missing men made
at police headquarters today will prob
ably aid the authorities In establishing
how many were killed by the explosion.
Mrs. Anna Smith, of 452 Grand street,
reports that her boarder, Anthony
Solewskl, has not returned after leav
ing the house yesterday, saying he was
going to work on a powder boat. Frank
Futz, of Thirteenth street, Is also miss- i
lng. He also said he was going to I
work on a powder boat. Another re
ported missing is John Smith, of 237
Varlck street.
Grrwiomf Itellrs Found.
Another grewsome relic of the dis
aster came to light today In the rig
ging of the dismantled iron steamer
Ingrid, that lay at her berth near the
spot where the Catherine W. was'
transferring the" dynamite. In the rig-I
ging a man’s arm was found hanging. I
Today's discovery was that of a shoe
with a human foot inside that had
been tossed Into the crow’s nest of the
steamer. The shoe was brought down,
and taken to police headquarters.
Scon s of attaches of the Central rail-1
road terminal, which tost practically!
all of its roof and the roof of the train
shed, are today walking about with
bandages, plasters arid pained expres
sions on their faces. Most of them,
however, forgot their discomfort In
thankfulness that the old depot did not
topple down.
That the Central Railroad of New
Jersey had no permit to handle ex
plosives in any form was made known
by Inspector of Combustibles James M.
Connelly. Connelly said the law re
quires that a separate permit be had
for each shipment handled.
Connelly learned from the Federal
luthorities that the Catharine W.
was licensed to carry passengers. She
lid not even have a freight license.
It also Is said the Catherine W. had
ieto'nators or percussion caps on board
with the dynamite. The New York law
itrlctly forbids the carrying of dyna
nlte and these caps in the same cargo,
rhe New’ York law also forbids a ves
set carrying more than 5,000 pounds of
explosives to approach a city pier. It
1b said the Catharine IV. would have
headed straight for New York had tho
explosion not occurred when It did.
Pong Menace to Humor.
Already It has developed that the
boats which ply In New York harbor
harrying powder from the Dupont
Company mills are a real menace to
shipping. Chief United States Inspector
Captain Harris said today that he has
long been In fear of a collision between
one of these craft and a ferryboat or
ev^n some larger vessel.
An ngent of the jfrwder company ap
peared in the wrecked yards last night
and spent hours looking over the scene
of desolation. On one pier which was
practically dismantled were a group of
men high In railroad councils. In this
group were President Baer and Vice
president Huntingdon, of the Reading,
and Vice-President Besler, of the Jer
sey Central. i
Before tho explosion a long train of
cars was backed down on pier 7. At
the end of the tram were two cars
loaded with dynamite and gelatine, the
property of the Dupont Powder Com
pany. The gelatine was destined for
transportation to Hudson river points
to be used in blasting on the Palisades.
The dynamite was Intended for Cuba
shipment.
The dynamite that had been placed
on the Catherine W. was packed In
boxes about one foot square. It was
In the form of sticks, about six inches
long and each was wrapped in yellow
paper. Ten thousand pounds of gela
tine are equal in strength to 12,500
pounds of dynamite.
Had the other two cars of dynamite
exploded It Is said that the lower end i
of Manhattan would have been de
stroyed. How the explosives in these
cars escaped cannot be explained. The
two cars practically were torn to
pieces.

RECEIVERS’ REPORT
In Wherry Suit for $80,000 for
Money Loaned.
Vice-Chancellor Emery In Chancery
chambers today allowed a rule to show
cause why the final report of the re
ceivers of the Telephone, Telegraph
and Cable Company of America should
not be accepted. Tho rule Is returnable
February 16.
The report of the receivers, Charles
M. Myers and Edward M. Colie, covers
seventy-seven typewritten pages, and
is a resume of the investigations of
various companies in which the com
pany held stocks and bonds, and is an
attempt to arrive at their value so as
to seo if the price offered is a proper
price,,
The suit In question was brought by
John Frederick Wherry on a claim of
180,000 for money loaned on which col
lateral was pledged, which he received
by assignment.
Tho company was incorporated No
vember 18, 1899, with a capital stock of
$30,000,000 to "buck" the Bell telephone
company. Its capital stock was after
ward reduced to $9,000,000 and one of
the stockholders wus John Jacob Astor
The shares were valued at $5 each and
he held 22,000.
Tht re were many calls upon the
stockholders soon after the organiza
tion, but as they remained unnoticed,
150 suits were started, some in Phila
delphia, others in Scranton, one in
Fort Wayne and a number in this
State. Mr. Astor, however, was the
only stockholder to "make good" to the
extent of his holdings, valued at $110,000
