Family Grief.

P. P. Bliss, the song writer, the au-
thor of '.Hold the Fort, y 1.-The Armor-
bearer" "Almost Persuaded and
scores of other popular songs, was on
the train that went down with a crash
to terrible destruction at Ashtabula,
Ohio, last Friday night. He was COM
ing from the holiday meeting at his old
home, with its tender memories cling
ing to him, to hold a grand praise meet
ing in Chicago, to which he was looking
forward with all the wholesome enthu-
siasm of his stalwart, Christian man
hood. Moving along q line leading
from joyous. scenes to pleasant duty, he
was stopped midway to die with his
wife and children; to die in an attempt
to save those he loved from a terrible
fate.
This horror Of a railroad disaster has
darkened many a home; in the cas of
Mr.. Bliss it destroyed one-blotted it
out as with a thunder crash. The ca
tastrophe has depressed the public, a
public already sore to the hearts core
over the Brooklyn theatre disaster; but
in the death of Mr.. Bliss it touches
chords that bring it home as q family
grief to every church and Sabbath
school in America and England. i3,s
Mr. Bliss sacred competitions are
held in high esteem. His chief songs
are, ''Hold the Fort" which has be-
come a watchword in the ranks of
Ol-.l.r~ -, -.,1 III A. o-
most Persuaded - and "What Shall the
Harvest Be-" These are his better
known songs. His last work was a
book called Gospel Songs" In which
were included his best compositions,
written during the past year. His voice
possessed a sweetness of tone and a
magnetic power; just the kind of voice
by which the sentiment of the hymn
could be best conveyed. His singing
awakened all the sympathies of his
hearers.

The Helena (Montapa) Herald tells
us that DR.. Holmes recently removed a
tumor from the left side Of Mr.. B. F.
Herrin, of the size of a ordinary apple.
While the operation was being per-
formed, Mr.. Herrin was reading the
news in a daily paper, and was not
aware that the knife was being used
until the tumor was placed on the table
before him. The method of destroying
sensibility was this: The doctor took a
ball of snow, added to it a tablespoon
full Of table salt, and applied this freez-
ing mixture to the tumor until the
surface was white. When the knife
was used the tumor was insensible.

Mysterious Death of a Black Hills Miner.

BLACK Hills Pioneer.l
On Wednesday morning, Dec. 10th,
a miner named Keller, entered the
/. X. L. restaurant and engaged a bed.
Keller had been drinking, butIwas not
sufficiently intoxicated to be irrational.
He retired at once. The proprietor,
Van Danaker, made an unsuccessful
effort to arouse Keller by shaking and
calling him; thereupOn he drew down
the bed clothes and discovered the &C.
cupant of the bed in an unconscious
state, breathing heavily and frothing
at the mouth. Medical aid was at
| once summoned and every effort made
to arouse the man from his lethargic
state, but without success. Asphyxia
| and d cath followed the comat0se condi-
ton in which the patient was first
found. A bottle of sulphate of NOR
phia was found in the bed, which sug-
| gested the death Of the deceased as re-
| sulting from an overdose of that opiate;
but the doctor who was in attendance
says death ensue6 from alcoholic poison
ing. Deceased was well known through
out the entire camp and had many
warm friends. During last summer he
took out a large amount OF gold from
his claim, which he lavished indiscrim-
inately among his associates. kehler
was about 38 years of age, and origi-
nally from Canada, although he has
been engaged in mining the west for
many years. 4
Soda water was the principal drink

per cent. ON its sale amounting to half

the total sales nearly three and q
