American Pianists and Pianos.
• .
But a few years have elapsed since we imported all
our first class pianos from Europe, and oar domestic
manufactures of that instrument were sneered at by
Europeans. American pianists were held in much the
-sane repute as the instruments of their native land,
and even American upper•-tendom exhibited a pre
ference for foreign artists over these who were proud
to call themselves Americans. Thns Herz, Leopold
Meyer,De Alfred Jaell, Tbalberg, etc., reaped rich
harvests of dollars from playing on pianos brought by
them from Eurene, but so inconceivably rapid has
been the progress made in American piano -forts
mar ufacta ing, and so numerous the improvements
made on European models, that the manufacturers of
the old world have been left behind in the race for dls•
Unction, and the very same artists whose names we
have mentioned. and many others of equal eminence,
openly declare their preference for playing in public
on American pianos, DA far superior instruments to
those made In Europe, of which scarcely a
sing]e specimen is imported in a year. whilst. on the
contrary, American pianos now f.'rm a large and In
(r. aging stance of export from our shores. duo too
with American pianists. Wherever they have per
formed in Europe they have at once challenged admi
ration. and achiever the most brilliant success; and
were Mills, Mason, Goldbeck Hoffman, etc., to visit
Europe now, they,could not fail in vieing with any
European artist, and surpassing a large majority of
them. Whadoes not remember the boy pianist, Willie
Pape, who exhibited such extraordinary genius as a
pianist a few years since and who left thlshis native land
to try bis fortune in Europe five years back, and who
has obtained the most extraordinary success and dis
tinction as e pianist? Five years have converted the
youth into a - young man, and the American boy un
known to European fame into the Court Pianist of the
royal family of England at Marlborough House, by
commandot the Prince and Princess of Wales. In an
imertsting letter of his, over date of London, Feb. 4th,
he says:
Masses, STEINWAY & SONS : "I am much pleased
to see the rapid advances you are making, and the
numerous certificates you baveso deservedly obtained.
Should my bumble opinion be of any weight you
may ado that I give my four hundreth pianoforte
recital at Cheltenham on the 10th of this month since
my arqval here; that during my four annual visits to
Paris, I have used the grand pianoes of all the first
European manufacturers, but /lays found no tavern •
ntent e qual to to the one I purchased of you. In fact,
I consider one of your finest sqtrare pianos is quite
equal to any of the grand pianos manufactured here.
'Truly yours. WILLIE PAPE,
"Pianist to H. H. the Princess of Wales."
Such testimony as the foregoing, added to that of
meaty of the most eminent of the European artists,
speaks volumes In favor of American art manufac
tures, which now enjoy an equal pre-eminence with
those of a strictly utilitarian character, as the reaping
and sewing machines, printing presses, etc. It is also
truly gratiylng to our national pride, and must, of
course, be especially so to the now world-famed firm
who were the reclpitents of the above letter.— Wilkes'

THE FIRST WARD ASSASSINATION.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT
THE MURDERER.
What He Said in Prison.
dell 4 :1 *ln frAzil 110 te): id
Fumeral of the Victims.
The excitement in regard to the arrest of
Antoine Ganter (or Antoine Probst, as he
wrote his name yesterday afternoon), the
murderer of the Deering family, still con
tinues throughout the city. During yester
day afternoon the Bura,Erin' office was
completely besieged, and the papers were
sold as fast as' they could be printed, so
great was the anxiety to learn the details
of the capture and read the statement of the
prisoner. A large crowd continued around
Fifth and Chestnut streets until dark, and
every time a prison van came around there
was a rush of the eager throng. At six
o'clock, when the regular van stopped at
the Central Station, it was at once sur
rounded, and Fifth street from Chestnut to
Library, was almost completely blocked
up. The anxious individuals were all
doomed to disappointment, as the prisoner'
had been conveyed quietly to Moyamensing
Prison several hours before. To the details
published in the:BuLLETIN of yesterday,
there is very little to add, as no farther de
velopments were made.
The Prisoner Photographed.
Probst, as the prisoner now calls himself,
was taken to a photograph saloon opposite
the Central Station, yesterday, and several
excellent negatives were taken. A large
posse of policemen was nec • chary to protect
the murderer from violence by the crowd.
The 'picture of Probst will be hung up in
the Rogue's Gallery to-day.
Some of the Movements of the Murderer.
Ganter or Probst was fully identified yes
terday afternoon, by Mr. Eckfeldt, as the
man who left the black bag at his lager beer
saloon, No. 445 New Market street. It ap
pears that Probst did not remain at Eok
feldt's over Sunday night, but stayed at a
lager beer saloon on Front street near
Brown. On Monday he again visited Eck
feldt's, and remained over night. During
the afternoon of Monday he was considera
bly intoxicated. He left on Tuesday, and
did not make his appearance until Thurs
day morning, when he came in and played
several games of cards with a German who
was seated in the bar-room at the time.
During the day he read a newspaper con
taining an account of the murder, but said
nothing about it. In the afternoon a num
ber of Germans engaged in - conversation
about the massacre. One of them remarked
that it would be a shame for a Dutchman to
bring disgrace upon his countrymen by
performing such a shocking deed. The
prisoner took no part in the conversation.
A number of police officers were in Eck
feldt's tavern during Thursday, inquiring
if there had been any suspicious looking
persona about there during the day. Probst
beard the conversation; he sat-with his hat
pulled over his eyes, as if asleep. During
the afternoon he left, • saying that he was
going down Front street. This was the
last heard of of him until it was known that
he had been arrested.
Discharged.
The man arrested in the Eleventh Ward
yesterday, on suspicion of having been the
accomplice mentioned by Probst, was con
fronted with him in prison,but he denied all
knowledge of him. The man was thereupon
discharged.
Probst In Prison—More Statements.
The assassin reached the prison about
noon yesterday, and was at once placed in
the cell, on the second corridor, convict
side, recently occupied by Berger, he mur
derer of Miss Watt. He showed no signs
of emotion, spoke freely to such of the offi
cers of the prison as asked him questions,
and, when dinner was served to him, he ate
uomewhat voraciously. ;
To one of the Inspectors of the Prison,
who conversed with him in the German
language, he told the stay of the murders
much as he bad narrated it to the Mayor,
but entered more into detail, describing
how they were done. To this gentleman he
said that he was from Baden, where his
father and mother and brother and sisters
reside.. It was during this conversation
that he, for the first time, showed anything
like sensibility, and it was when he was
asked what his parents would think when
they heard of the commission of the dread
ful crime by him. A tear was then observed
stealing down his cheek. One of the officers
of the Prison put the question to him—How
was it, if you killed the boy, as you say, and
your companion killed all the rest, that the
boy was killed in precisely the same man
ner as the others were? He paused for a
moment, and then answered—He told me
how to do it! Such an answer, probably the
best he could give, is calculated to increase
the doubt of his having had an accomplice.
The last time Probst was visited yesterday
afternoon, he had a Bible in his hand, and
appeared to be reading it.
While Chief Franklin was at the Prison
on business, he had a further conversation
with the prisoner, and asked him more par
ticularly as to the manner of the killing of
Mr. Deering and his niece, and as it differs
somewhat from that given before the Mayor,
we add it to the above:
Q. What were yon doing when the other
man killed Deering?
calu
A. I was holding the horse; the man
knocked Deering down w th the axe as soon
as he got from, the carri ge, and his niece
started to run, when he ght np with her,
and striking her alongsid of the head with
the axe knocked her down. He then cut
the throats of both.
Q. How did the woman's bonnet get in
the house?
A. I took it off her head and carried it in.
The bonnet was examined, and old-fash
ioned one, which came well over the face,
and no marks of blood mild be found upon
it'or any indication that it had been on the
ground.
More of the Stolen Property.
Late last evening the detectives discovered
a watchmaker in the Eleventh Ward, to
vi L
whom Probst had offered a gold watch for
sale on Wednesday. It ill be noticed that
Probst, in his statement the Mayor and
the officers, asserted that his accomplice
took the watch, and yet the watchmairer
identifies the prisoner by, the absence of his
thumb.
Deering The D Family..
The following additional particulars were
obtained yesterday in reference to the Deer
ing family. Christopher came to this cotm
_
ii• ' I.
try seventeen years ago, from. Dublin, Ire
land. Soon after his arrival he engaged in
the service of Commodore Engle, and re
mained in it for several years. After leaving
the employment of the Commodore he went
to Maryland, and was there for a time.
Upon Ins return he went into the milk busi
ness, and from that took to droving. In
1855 he married Julia Duffy, his first cousin,
who was a few -years older than himself.
Miss Dolan, his cousin, had been but about
six months in the country. Her mother
paid a visit to Ireland last year and brought
her over. Her age, as fixed by members of
the family, was twenty-nine years. On the
day she reached this city, the last seen of her
alive, she had just left the home of her uncle
in Burlington, and the compound interest
notes she had with her were to purehttAte
Government bonds with. Mrs. Deering has
a brother living in New York, who reached
this city on Thursday.
Another Arrest.
, A suspicious looking German was ar
rested last evening by three citizens and
some policemen while going along the Lime
gun turnpike, in the Twenty-second Ward.
The man had with him a valise, containing
a coat, a lot of men's and women's under
garments, an old fashioned black dress, a
pair of pants and several smaller articles.
Some of the clothes had evidently been
recently washed, and looked as if they had
been blood-stained. One handkerchief was
marked "W. M. V.," and some of the other
articles ;were marked "Boyd." The man
told very contradictory stories. He said
that he was on his way to York, Pa., and at
the time of his capture he was going in the
opposite direction,
He then said that he was from Collegeville,
which is in the Twenty-third Ward, but he
was going towards that place. He was
asked last evening whether he knew any
thing about the murderer, and replied in
the negative, This morning he related
many of the details of the tragedy. At
first he said .that lie could not read or
write, but when put into the cars
this morning to be brought to the city he
asked fora newspaper. One was given to
him, and he immediately turned to the ac
count of the arrest of Probst. The under
clothing be says belongs to his wife, bat he
does not know where she is, as ie ran
away from him. The coat he declares he
brought from Germany four years ago„but
it is evidently a Philadelphia made gar
ment.
The man was brought to the Central Sta
tion this morning, and there was imme
diately another exciting scene. A crowd
gathered around the door, and there were
anxious inquiries in regard to the prisoner.
There is nothing about this prisoner which
resembles the individual Probst charges
with having been his accomplice. He is
about six feet high, slimly built, is cross
eyed, and has no boil on his neck, whereas
the man described by Probst is short and
stout, is not cross-eyed and has a boil on his
neck.
• It is evident that this individual had no
connection with the murders, but there is
no doubt that he obtained dishonestly the
goods found in his possession, and the
probabilities are that he has committed a
robbery somewhere. He is detained for a
further investigation.
A Continued Excite Meat.
The speculations in: regard to a second
man having been engaged in the bloody
deed, are various, but a general impression
that Probst alone committed the murders,
is rapidly gaining ground. The excitement
about the Central Station continues,
although the crowd gathered there is not
so large as it was yesterday.
Every man who goes into the building in
company with a policeman, is closely
scanned, and enquiries are at once made as
to whether he is the second man. An indi
vidual was taken in this morning for the
larceny of a paiir of shoes, and a rumor that
the other murderer had been captured, was
at once set afloat.
Arrests Abroad
A very full description of Probst, the
murderer, having been telegraphed through-
out the country,the officers in various cities
and towns have been on the alert, and in
several places Germans answering some
what to the description have been taken
into custody, and the authorities here tele
graphed to. Nearly a dozen despatches of
that kind have already been received.
Still at Work .
The detectives and police are still at work
and are making strenuous efforts to find
the supposed accomplice of Probst. This
morning Detectives G. H. Smith and Tryon
found a man on New Third street, upon
whom suspicion rested, but he accounted
for himself satisfactorily.
Thus far no new developments of impor
tance have been made.

the bodies of the victims will have been con
signed to earth in St. Mary's Cemetery, on
Passynnk road.
The preparations for the funeral were all
made at the establishment of Mr. Simon
Gartland, Thirteenth street, above Chestnut
street, at an early hour this morning, and
the remains were viewed by many carious
spectators between 9 A. M. and noon.
The remains were placed in the main
apartments of Mr. Gartland's establish
ment, on the right of the entrance. The
bodies were shrouded in white, and all that
art could do to soften the ghastly appear
ance of the fatal wounds had been done.
The coffins were of neat walnut l and
on the lids were the inscriptions, which, as
we took them from the undertaker's books,
were as follows
Christopher Deering, - aged 38 years.
Julia Deering, - - - 45 "
Elizabeth Dolan, - - 25 it
John Deering, - - " 8 c.
Thomas Deering, - - " 6 "
Anna Deering, - - - '• 4 "
Emily Deering, - - " 2 "
Cornelius Cary, - - . " 17 "
The neighborhood was thrrilged with
persons anxious to see the 1 coins from
an early hour this morning. ad the ut
most efforts of the police had reemployed
to keep order in the, throng ich pressed
towards the entrance of the indertaker's
establishment.
An astonishingly large prof. ntion of the
crowd was composed of females, some of
whom had brought children with them at
the peril of their lives. A considerable
number of tickets had been issued and par
ties possessing these eards could pass in
with comparative ease, though not without
an occasional collision 'with the police in
charge of the multitude who were not pro
vided with the necessary pasteboard.
The arrangements for the funeral were as
follows, the ambulances being supplied by
various fire companies: •
Ambulance containing the police.
Pall bearers in an ambulance.
Remains of Cornelius Cary in a hearse.
Remains of Miss Dolan in a hearse.
Remains of the four children in an ambu
lance.
Remains of Mrs. Nering in a hearse.
Remains of Christopher Deering in a
hearse.
The relatives and friends were next to
take their place in the sad procession.
As the time for the departure of the fnne
ral drew near the crowd increased, and the
pressure to gain admittance to the apart
ment where they lay was intensified. Com
paratively good order was, however, main
tained up to the hour when our reporter left
the scene.
Burning of All Extensive Glass Factory.
[From the Boston Herald of Yesterday.]
Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, a
large tank connected with the New England
Glass Works, situated on North and Water
streets, East Cambridge, and covering an
area of over four acres, (being the largest es
tablishment of the kind in the United States)
which was filled with some five hundred
gallons of kerosene oil and is used to feed the
"glory-hose," so called, connected with the
furnaces, exploded or took fire from some
cause unknown, and communicated to the
large brick buildings, 135 feet in length,
which compose the furnaces, in the north
east section of the yard, and containing four
large furnaces and forty pots, holding 2,000
pounds each; also a three-story brick build-.
ing, which contained moulds, glass, and a
large number of pots, which were manufac
tured of German clay, all of which were
nearly destroyed. The roof of the furnace
buildings fell in with a crash, greatly dam
aging the furnaces and destroying two of
them. The tall chimney which is seen at a
great distance was uninjured.
The alarm was promptly given by ring
ing the Glass-house bell, and the fire com
panies of Cambridge, with both hand
engines and steamers, were soon upon the
ground, and checked the fire from commu-,
nicating to the outside buildings, which are
tbre e stories in height, over 200 feet in length,
ane used for sample rooms, packing glass
ware, offices, itc. and which contained a
very large and valuable stock. Steam Fire
Engine Company No. 0, of Boston; Harvard
Steam Engine Company and Red Jacket
Hose Company, of Charlestown; Liberty
Hose and Somerville Engine Company,
and other fire companies from the suburban
towns, were present and rendered great
service in saving the outer building from
destruction.
The Glass Company employs . over 500
men and women. Many of them have been
connected with the works for over a quarter
of a:century,and they lost most of their tools
by the fire, but will not be out of employ
tnent, as Mr. Leighton, the active foreman
of the works, immediately set the men to
work in clearing up the rubbish, and it was
found that two of the furnaces are not badly
injured, and the works will go on by Mon
day. The Company estimate their loss a
some $75,000, on which there is an insurance
which will clearly cover it, in the Firemen's
Merchants' and Manufacturers' Offices of
Boston.
Facts andtraneles.
Michael Geary, the billiard player,
"mashed a reimrter's nose flat"—as he pret
tily described it—for making an unpalatable
report of a match game. If that indiscreet
reporter had taken his "cue" from Michael,
he would not have meddled with his
"bridge." ' .
General Grant is to sit fora bustto Frank
lin Simmons, a youpg sculptor from Boston
who has a studio in Washington. If he
makes General Grant look like bu'st per-
Simmons, he will not be handsome.
An exchange announces that Wednesday
was the anniversary of the birthday of
Hahnemann, "the father of homceopathy,
and also of Edward Everett."
Mr. Richard Grant White, in the preface
to his "Poetry of the War,"says "some peo
ple complacently thought, as they listened
to that nonsensical farrago, 'Old John
Brown,' that here was proof that 'the great
popular heart of this country beatin unison
with the impulses of humanity toward uni
versal freedom.' But the truth was that
the alternate jig and swing.of the air caused
it to stick in the uneducated ear' as burrs
stick to a blackberry girl." He finds proof
for his theory in the fact that "the song, al
ready unheard and passing rapidly into
oblivion with us, is now just as popular in
London as it ever was here." All of which
proves Richard to be a donkey. Long after
White ceases to be read, Brown will be
green in the hearts of the people and his
memory preserved inviolate.
The Boston Post says: "Secretary Stanton
is providing snug little berths for his
nephews and so on." We don't believe it.
If they belonged to Mr. Seward now, he
might accothmodate,them in his Secretary
of State-rooms.
Sir Hugh Henry Rose, the new Com
mander-in-Chief of the British army in Ire
land, has seen hard service in India, and is
the man who blew the Sepoy leaders from
the mouths of his cannon. If we remember
aright, he was justified for that playful lit
tle act of British humanity, on the ground
that it is natural for a rose to blow.
"Admiral" Semmes is named in the Mo
bile papers for Judge of Probate in that
city. If they can only contrive to elect the
amiable pirate twice to that office, it will
make him just the re-probate judge we
- should expect him to be.
"HE'LL NEVER SET THE TEMsE ON
FlRE."—Many years ago, before machinery
was introduced into flour mills for the pur
pose of sifting the flour, it was the custom
of the miller to send it home unsifted. The
process of sifting was done thus—but prin
cipally in Yorkshire: the "temse," or sieve,
which was provided with a rim, which • pro
jected from the bottom of it, was worked
over the mouth of the barrel into which the
flour or meal was sifted. An active fellow,
who worked hard, not unfrequently set the
rim of the temse on fire by force of friction
against the rim of the flour barrel; so that,
in fact, this department of domestic em
ployment became a 'standard by which to
test a man's will or capacity to work hard;
and thus of a lazy fellow, or one deficient in
strength, it was said, "he will never set the
tennge, on fire." The long misuse of the
word tome for slave, aswell as the super
seding os hand labor by machinery in this
particular species of work, may possibly
have tended to the substitution of sound
for sense in such phrases as "he will
never, set the Thames on fire" the Mersey
I
on fire, or any other river. cannot recol
lect having seen any notice of this phrase
in "N and Q," and should be glad to know
whether it is familiar to many persons. P.

There hi no falling off In the supply of money, either
at the Banks or on the street, with a very limited in
quiry either from the mercantile community or fro . =
the brokers for speculative purposes. The tendencyof
the proposed reduction of the rate of interest on the
temporary deposits held by the Sub-Treasury on the
let of May to live per cent., and on Clearing House
Certificates to four pent., will be to increase the sup
ply of unemployed capital, and cheapen the rates.
