Music in its educational and practical sense is receiving a healthy impulse Irora the meetings of the Music Teachers" Association now being held in this city, the opening session being held yesterday and the closing one beinj ar ranged for Wednesday evening. This three days' reunion of music teachers can iiardly tail to be of practical value in bringing the music talent of the State into closer com munion, and in making the people who fol low the profession strain after higher means of tuition and more perlerted methods 01 5-udy and application. "And not only i th's'being achieved," said a once famous prima donna to the reporter, "but these meetings bring together and make known to each other members who were known only by repute. It also gives iheni a chance to ttudv the methods ot difierent schools by giving practical illustrations of style, treat Wentand touch, wh.ch otherwise they would only have ti-ona as theories." TI:e Opening Ceremonies. The opening session of the eonentionin Association Hall was presided over bv President Wolsieffer. Colonel O. C. Bosby Fhell, who had been invited to preside, be ing prevented from attending by reason of a death in his latn'ly. Mr. Wolsieffer's open ins address was a happy one and ad vised tt.e 'ormation of a tourists nwiety anil the lmldine of the annual conven turn- during the summer vacatiui penoa.

Bach, Chopin, Schd 1 1 rt and Wagner bad been selected as the test p.ece. But apart from all question as to the mints or dements of the new system, the re cital was a treat, because it introduced a mas terlj manipulation in limb cla-s music, and bbuned In in to uos-e-s a dclicac of touch and a nei lection of nnerins which would have Mauipeci him as an artist under any instru mental difficulties. lie has a perfect command "i jis manipulation; has -jinpatliy as well as ait, and tenderness as well a expression.

To-day, in consequence of the absence of the first essayist, Mr. Beiendge Webster, of Pitts burg. Dr. Iiugh A. Clarke read Prof. Michael II Cross'aper on "Musical Criticism." In this -.lucuiuerA it was held that while criticism may V keen it should be kindl).

It has been held that tbe boys arc jiiisjhievous, nut, if they be well behaved m eliurch, who can sing so well? There is no set i ule for the organization of a boys' choir, but Mr. Carnell would sugscsi proportions ot IS feopranos, i altos, 4 tenors and 4 bassos. An Agitation of the Subject. He tbougl.t good would come of the use of Tjo.s Uioirs. and ho earnestly advocated an agi tation of the subjfCt. Prof. Zobonati opposed the usa of an instrument except tho tuniug iork. The organ or piauo leads to ear singing. Prof Carnell said be only favored the instru ment for tone huildmg. Prof. Batcheller t'j mht the instrument helped tho inward ru.tli of music Vocal music can be acqmred ven well withour the piano, but the instrument a often a help, and a very pleasant one, to the nildren. The discussion was brought to a ik b the remark of a member that out of Ii churches and chapels in this city possibly "n 75 hasby choirs, so that tho matter 13 i inc:iiiro. i he question of seleetirga place of meeting for tho next annual ses-ion of tbe association .- take i up and P.ttsburg was selected unan lmonslv after assurances that the Iron City would extena a hearty welcome. Tbe matter of indorsing the establishment of a piano 'snrs' bureau was considered and tbe neces sity and advisability of such an institution was acknowledged, provided it bo entirely under n e control of tbe association.

Tho Independents Seem to Be 'Now More Active and Determined Than Kter Nothing of a Startling Nature Shown by the Reports I"rom tho 1'lcld. At no time since the inauguration of the independent movement have the producers of Pittsburg and vicinity been so active as yesterday. Mysterious groups were observed gathered at the Oil Ex change, in the hotel corridors and in the offices of different prominent producers. The air seemed permeated with mystery. The indications led the reporter to believe there was something important on the tapis; and investigation revealed the fact that the local assembly of the P. P. A. of Pittsburg was to convene. A number of the prominent lights of the assembly were busily engaged all the afternoon in taking the applications of new producers who were anxious to join in the independent movement. Tne meeting, it is understood, was represented by a majority of tho heaviest opcraturs in this district. The situation, of course, was diSLtissed in all its phases, and the general vernict of the combination, of tho pro ducing interests, predominated. One of tho more conservative members of the organiza tion said to The Dispatch reporter: "We have nothing now to give for publication; wo have arrived at no definite conclusion and practically we are in our infancy. Our first step is to re organize every local assembly of the P. P. A. that eier existed, and induce all independent operators to join our ranks with an iron-bound oath. When the greatoil belts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio have been consolidated bj this union, then we will take the first step toward devising means to protect and build up our interests. From tho happy smilo worn by each producer as they filed out of their place of meeting last night the reporter was led to believe that their meeting hau been harmonious, and that the fraternal feeling would soon be spread broad cast throughout the oleaginous world. Tho local assembly at Butler will meet to-morrow niirht. while durir.ir the week the assemblies of f other sections will also convene. Neils From the Kield. The field news is unimportant. Wildwood did not assume a very different aspect from oar j esterday's report. The only feature being a confirmation of the report regarding tho Cjuyton well, owned by McDevitt Js. Co., last evening.

IT CLOSES LIKE A HUGE PARASOL Ilalf a Hundred Workmen Canght in the General Wreck, but ONLY THREE I1YES KEP0ETED LOST Not Yore, Dec. 30. Shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon the roof of the five story building on the northwest corner of Twenty-ninth street and First avenue fell in with a great crash. There were half a bundled mev at work transforming the building into an annex to the brewery of H. Koehlcr & Co., for the storage of ice and beer. For the protection of the, men from the cold and snow, the flat roof was left, but cut loose from the walls. It hung propped up by immense center posts, like a huge open umbrella above tbe building. Ko one may ever know just what caused the collapse. Whatever it was, suddenly, without a note of warning, the roof over the south half of the building caved in. It caved in precisely as one folds an umbrella with a jerk. The "roof beams fell everywhere at the ends first, last at the center pole. "Why All Were Not Killed. In the general wreck the posts gave way too, and all above the second story fell in one great general smash, the two hanging floors above with the rest, down upon tbe iron beams and brick arches that bore the second floor. As the ambulance came tearing up and the firemen raced down the street and avenue, there came forth from amid the cloud of dust rising irom the wreck one seared, white face after another, some be smeared with blood, more smudged and blinded by dirt and dust, until nearly the whole troop were gathered in the street. A few crawled down the ladders and were met by the firemen, painfully bent and crippled, yet with strength to crawl. One slid down a guy rope hand over hand. Two did not come. "When sought they were found amid' the wreck, pinned down one with skull crushed, another half or wholly insensible, A look at the wreck showed how it had happened that they were not all killed the manner of the miracle, as it were. It was as if the umbrella, in shutting, had "not been closed entirely. The Dead and the Wounded. Around the shivered remnants of the broken centre posts, the beams the ribs hung yet slightly raised lrom the floor, forming a sort of shelter for those who had not been close to the wall. James Duneen had his skull badly lractured and died at the hospital. L. Weber, trom severe contusions and wounds of the face, also died at the hospital. John Hayes, another laborer, will also most probably die; he was injured internally. The following are more or less severely in jured: S. Bnenlinger was badlv scraped about the face and bands; John Tulley, A. Ackerman, B. Doran, P. Hanson, Thomas Lahey, Peter Heidricb, Thomas Heath aud Casper Ebley.
