(J/obr.Feb.7th.ISM ) •*A visit to the custom house a few days ago revealed the most interesting fact that the Gerhard teeintzman Company are exporting Pianos to Chili, South America This being an item of considerable importance to Canadian commerce a Globe representative called on Mr.Gerhard eintzman to gain some information regarding this far off market for these famed instruments.Some months ago a merchant prince of Valpraiso, Chili, visited the United States and Canada on a purchasing trip, and among other lines he was looking for a high-class piano.Visiting Toronto in the interest of his busi ness he made inquiries as to pianos The Gerhard Heintzman being most highly spoken of as a high grade piano, he visited the immense plant of theGerhard Heintzman Company, and although he had had the privilege of inspecting other pianos and factories in Toronto and some of the recognized standard piano factories of New Youk he was so well satisfied w ith the thoroughness of construction in the Gerhard Heintzman pianos and with their superior tone quality that the result was a large contract for an assortment of these pianos.Mr.Gerhard Heintzman naturally feels proud of this stroke of business, and it is certainly a distinct triumph for Canadian art and enterprise, and opens up a new market forCanadian products.Gerhard Heintzman pianos have also a market in Bermuda, where the superior material and workmanship are proof against that most trying climate.They have also shipped several instruments to the United States lately, all of which point to a progressive and well established business.” The above will no doubt be interesting to the readers of the Examiner through whose columns G.A.LeBARON, our city dealer, has been eulogizing the Gerhard Heintzman as the best Canadian Piano.Every day proofs to this end are being established.Gar vets Wilton Carpets with borders to match.Axminfs’er Carpets with border and stair to match.Velvet Carpets with border and stair

Street.ANEW BOILER FOR ROAD DEPARTMENT.Councillor McManamy, chairman of the Road Committee reported that the Committee had recommended that 100 yards of granite block at $1.50 a yard be purchased from Mr.Fitzgeiald, and also that two new horses he purchased to replace one dead and one sold and that a new boiler be purchased for the steam drill.Some discussion took place as whether the money required for the last two items he taken out of the appropriations or whether they be charged to special account.After some talk it was decided that the department pay for them in the meantime.CALLS ON THE BRIGADE.Councillor Belanger submitted the Fire Committee’s report.There were nine calls on the brigade during the month.The first four calls on the brigade were for fire which were got out without any damage.On the 18th a fire broke out in the barn owned by N.T.Dussault.The fire was chtefiy in the hay loft and the contents were a total loss.At this fire a piece of iron was found in the steam chest, and be thought it would be advis able to have the boiler overhauled.In the course of his report of the Bryant fire Chief Davidson says : “The members of the brigade displayed indomitable energy and cheerfully stood to their work, in many instances under very trying cir cumutances.” The lire is supposed to have originated from a hot box.Continuing, the report says : “In connection with the last fire, allow me to remark, that there were several young men who ably assisted the brigade on that occasion and as large fires are possible, where assistance in a Hko manner would be appro ciated, I would recommend tha* those men, whoso ably and willingly rendered assistance at the Bryant fire should be paid for their service.The report also recommends that new hose should be purchased immediately.THE PAYMENT OF VOLUNTEER FIREMEN.Councillor Belanger in submitting the report dealt with three clauses of the Chief’s report.The first was that the Committee be authorized to purchase hose immediately, $1,000 for which had been set aside in the appropriations.(2) That there wereaeveral citizens who rendered valuable assistance at the Bry ant fire, and that for their services they be paid $‘2 each, and (3) that the Silsby engin* Oh overhauled and a new boiler put in.ttnivii was estimated would cost about $500 He would move, seconded by * - utcillor Jenckes, that the report be i’pied.Councillor McManamy said that with regard to the hose, a sum had been set aside for to purchase it, and he would be in favour of granting authority to ask for tenders.As to the payment of citizens he did not think they should be called upon to pay for assista ce rendered.They had a brigade of their own, and it would be creating a dangerous precedent if they acquiesced in the report.With regard to the repairs for the engine.Last year both engines were inspected by government inspector, who informed him fCouncillor McManamy)they were in good condition.At that time they were just on the point of spending some $1500 in getting new boilers, but the money was saved by the report of the inspector.Councillor Jenckes stated that the Chief had informed them that the boilers were badly corroded with rust, and that they were in a bad condition.T he Com mittee thought the best way would be t< lay the matter before the Council so that they would be relieved of all responsi bility.Councillor Cate said that the Council did not know anything about the condi tion of the boiler, and he thought they ahoold have a com pet ant man make an inspection before they agreed to spend any money.Councillor McManamy—If the itn provements are made in the water ays tern aa suggested by the Water Committee the engines will not be required to any great extent.The engines were not used at the Bryant fire and he for one would certainly like to have them examined by an inspector.Councillor McManamy moved an amendment that that portion of the report dealing with the payment of volunteer firemen bestruck out and that an inspector be called in to examine the engines.The amendment carried on a division.Councillor Le Baron gave the report of the Police Committee.There were 20 arrests during the month, none of which were for aerioua offences.During the month five calls were answered ; persons given lodginga, 45 ; doors of business places fonnd unsecured, one; goods found at the store doors, three ; ambulance, tw«»; lights found not burning, twenty seven ; fires attended, eight The collection for the month amounted to $300.02.•HEALTH OF THE CITY.Councillor Hebert, chairman of the Sanitary Committee, stated that during the month four cases of contagious diseases were reported, two of scarlet fever, one typhoid, and one membraneous croup.There was twenty-six deaths during the same period, being nine more than last month, and eight more than the corres ponding month last year.The committee opened tenders for sewer pipe and recommended that the tender of the Hamilton and Toronto Sewer Pipe Company be accepted.Councillor E.B.Worthington, chair man of the Market Committee, submitted the monthly report.The market during the past month had been pretty well attended, although there was quite a falling ff in the receipts.The receipts for the month were :— Stall rjnts.$ 5/00 Market fees.133.50 Public scale.49.20 Cleveland Bicycles !

ing that Sir Charles Tupper was the greatest parliamentarian on the continent, and there was no more faithful party than that which was behind Sir Charles’ back in the House of Commons.The election of officers was then pro ceeded with and resulted as follows : — president R H.Pope, M.P ; treasurer, C.VV.Cate, joint secretaries, A.P.Lomas and J.E.Genereaux ; vice-presidents—Sherbrooke, C A.French ; Compton, A.Learned ; Stanstead, Geo.rt.Piere ; Brome, David A.Mam on ; Miss-istquoi, Dr.Chromo ; Shefford, A.F.Savaria ; Richmond, W.L.Ball ; Wolfe, N.P.Tanguay Drummond, F.N.Macrae ; Artha*'aska, J.E.Methot ; Me-gantic, John Mooney.Mr.Pope on taking the chair as presi-dt-nt returned thanks for the honour done him, and stated that it was decided by the party to hold a grand rally in the Eastern Townships.He was auth rised to state by Sir Chari* s Tupper that he would attend a convention on any date in May.He thought, if the signs of the times were read antihr, that a general election would soon be upon them and it was well to be prepared.Mr.L.E.Panneton moved that the Convention be held in Sherbrooke.Messrs Chicoyne, H.R.Fraser an 1 Hon.M.F.Hackett supported the idea of having a convention as a means of again carrying the flag to victory.It was decided to hold the convention on May 9th, and a committee of the following with power to add to their numbers was appointed as a central committee: M essrs L.E.Panneton, J.A.Chicoyne, F.P.Buck, J.S.Mitchell, N.T.Dussault and Major Wood.Mr.Powell, M P., for Westmorelan l, New Brunswick, and Mr.Bergeron,M.P.for Beauharoois addressed the meeting at considerable length.The former dealt with the brokeu pledges of the p$rty, and maintained that the Liberals had followed the policy of the late Government,and when they had deviated from that they had made huge blunders.He dwelt at some length on what Sir Cha.les Tupper had done for Canada, and likened many of his speeches as equal to that * f the illustrious Burke.He referred to Messrs Blair and Tarte as colossal corrupt tionists.Mr.Bergeron spoke bitterly of S r Wilfrid Laurier.He did not, he said, believe in calling him Sir Wilfrid.He contended that Sir Wilfrid was a nobody in the Cabinet.He was the weakest man in it and had to do what he was told by Tarte and Blair.He endervoured to show that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was inconsistent from the beginning of his political carter up to the present, and that he was put into power by the French Canadian vote simply because they thought it would be an honour to have a French Canadian prime minister.Hon Mr.F.Hackett proposed a vote of thanks *o the speakers and the meeting adjourned until eight o’clock.THE EVENING MEETING.The meeting did not commence until nine o’clock, and even at that hour there was a very slim attendance, not over seventy-five persons being present.Mr.R.H.Pope presided.There were also on the platform -a.u.Moore, M.P., M Bergeron, M.P., Mr.Powell, M.P., L.E.Panneton, M.L.A., and J.A.Chicoyn* M L.A.The president in opening the meeting referred to the afternoon t-ession and its decision to hold a convention here the 9_h of next month, and he hop d that all present would do all in their power to make it successful.They had expected the Mon.M.F.Hackett to open the meeting but as he had not arrived yet, he would call upon A.H.Moore to fill up the gap until Mr.Hackett arrived.Mr.Moore upon nsiug said as there were so many different aspects of the political question of the day it was ditti cult todeiiie which to speak upon first, but he confined himself principally ta what he termed the broken promises of the present G jvernment and claimed that they had forfeited the confidence of the electors by not carrying out their pledges.Mr.Btrgeron followtd in a lengthy address in French.Mr.Powell was the next speaker, and commenced by pa> ing a high compliment to the present leader of the Government for his statesmanlike ability, but with all his admiration for his ability he could not help but pity him for under him there was a power which he seemed unable to control.Hon.M.F.Hackett followed, but as the hour was late and his hearers had frequently a chance to hear him, he would rot detain them with any lengthy remarks but tausted that on the 9 h of May they would see such a gathering in Sherbrooke that would put new life and vigor into the Conservative party.R.H.P pe, M.P., closed the meeting by impressing upon those present the mcdssity of trying to induce the rising generation to become members of the Association IT, I V.: .f A ff >s ATVTrtm ont
