Suicide OH Blum street.

This morning about o'clock, a man named
Koch, cigar maker, of factory No. 81, and
residing at No. 200 Blum street, committed
suicide by shooting himself in the head. 1t
appears that he has been very unfortunate OF
late. had failed as chemist, and as rancher,
and feared that he would fail in the cigar bust
ness. He seemed in his right senses when he
rose this morning at about hall past fVe, anu
proposed to 90 to Boerne to see ii he could get
better prospects there. He went into little
rom on the right hand side of the gallery
where he worked at his business What took
Mace here is, of course, only conjecture, but
it is surmised that he took small toy looking
g'ass, and sitting in front of it shot himself IN
the forehead with 45-Callbre Smith x Weston
revolver, Death must have been lnstantan-
JUS, the bullet having passed through the
head, and rebounding against the wall tell to
the floor and was found under the body. The
deceased leaves young wife and two children
who are said to be unprovlded tor.
A bottle of morphine was found on the
table, but none of this had been used, and for
what purpose it was intended there is no evil
dence to show; but it is Inferred the deceased
first intended to commit suicide by this means.
INQUEST ON THE DECEASED.
Justice Anton Adam he'd an inquest upon
the body.
Mrs Emma KOCH sworn, deposed: My
name is Emma Koch, am the wife Of the de-
ceased. | can assign no cause for his rash
act. lie was complaining about his business,
the manufacture of cigars, being very dull.
He intended to 90 to Boerne this morning to
See whether he could do better there. did
not see any change in his behavior this morn
ing when he got up from bed. The deceased
went into his room to his work bench about
6o'clock. He went in and out of his room
several times arranging cigar boxes, and |
was under the impression that he was fixing
10 to leave for Boerne. The last time he
went into his room he closed the door, and a
few seconds afterwards heard the report OF
pistol shot. | went into the room and found
my husband lying in the same position that
he is now. He was dead. My husband was
48 years of age; was born in kochem, near
koblenz, Germany, and lived about five years
in Texas. He has no property of any value
DIR. Adolph IIerf, being sworn, deposed:
was called to see Mr.. Koch this morning
Upon arriving found him dead, partially ly
ing on the abdomen and face, and large re
yolyer near his side. | examined his wound
and found that a ball had entered one incl
above the left eye, traversing the entire skull
and having its exit near the occpital protuber
ance, fracturing the skull at that point extern
ally, so that considerable amount of brazil
oozed out of the wound. The face was Sc
verely powder-burnt. My opinion is that MI
Koch came TO his death by gun-shot woun
inflicted ay his own hand.
The jury, having considered the question
gave in a verdict that the deceased came t
his death on the fifth day of April, 1882, {
6:3o a. m, from pistol-shot wound, intlicte
by his own hand.

Had an Eye on Him.

THAT young Brown has become a
Christian, has hep" So said one business
man to another.
Eyes, heard So"
Well, I'll have my eye on him to see
if he holds out l want trusty young
man in my store They are hard to find
If this is the real thing with him, he will
be just the man l want. I've kept my
eye on him ever since heard of it. I'm
watching him closely"
So young Brown went in and out the
store and up and down the street He
mixed with his old associates, and all the
time Mr.. Todd had an eye on him. He
watched how the young man bore the
sreer of being one of the saints" if he
stood up manfully for his new Master
and was not afraid to show his oolors.
Although Mr. Todd took rides, went to
church, or did what he pleased on Sab
bath, he was very glad to see that Brown
rested on the Lords day and .hallowed
it. Though the Wednesday evening bell
never drew the merchant to the prayer
meeting he watched to see if Brown
passed by. Sometimes he said: Where
are you going, Brown" and always re-
celved the prompt answer: 10 prayer
meeting" Browns father and his teach
err were both questioned as to how the
lad was getting on.
For year or more Todd's eyes were
on Brown. Then he said to himself
He'll do. He is real Christian. 1
can trust him. I can afford to pay him.
He shall have good place in my store. 4"
Thus, young Christian, others watch to
see if you are true; if you will do for
places of trust. The world has its cold,
calculating eye on you, to see if your re
ligion is real, or if you are Just ready to
turn back The Masters loving eye is
on you also. He sees not the missteps
alone, but also the earnest wish to please
Him. He, too, has places of trust. The
work is pleasant and the pay good. These
places may be for you when, through
His strength, you have proved yourself
true.
Fix your eye on Him and He will
keep you in the way CongregatiOnaJlst.

While Annie was saying her prayers
Nell trihed with shadow picture on the

she would talk to Annie, that mite of a

snowy gown, by the bedside.
Now, Annie, watch r. Annie, Just
see 20, Annie, do look !" she said, over
and over again Annie, who was not to
be persuaded, finished her prayer and
crept into bed, whittier her thoughtless
sister followed as the light must be out
in just so many minutes. Presently Nell
took to laundering, punching and o
dearing." Then she laid quiet awhile,
only to begin again with renewed energy.
What's the matter ?" asked Annie at
length

Good Work or None.

1t is rule that workman mustfol-
low his employers orders, but no one has
a right to make him do work discredit-
able to himself Judge NJ, a we'll
known jurist living near Cincinnati, loved
to tell this anecdote OF young man who
understood the risk of doing a shabby
job even when directed to.
He had once occasion to send to the
village for a carpenter, and a sturdy
young fellow appeared with his tools.
al want this fence mended to keep
out the cattle. There are some unplaned
boards-use them. 1t is out Of sight
from the house, so you need not take time
to make it neat Job. l will only pay
you dollar and half"
The Judge went to. dinner, and coming
out found the man carefully planning each
board. Surprising that he was trying to
make a costly job of it, he ordered him
to nail them on at once Just as they were,
and continued his walk. When he re-
turned the boards were all planed and
numbered ready for mailing.
l told you this fence was to be COW
cred with vines" he said, angrily do
not care how it looks.
az do" said the carpenter, grufly,
carefully measuring his work. When it
was finished there was no part of the
fence as thorough in finish.
How much do you CHARGE" asked
the judge.
A dollar and a half" said the man,
shouldering his tools.
The Judge started. "Why did you
spend all that labor on the job, if not for
money ?"
For the Job, sir"
Nobody would have seen the poor
work on it,
But I should have known it was
there. No; I'll take only dollar and
a half" And he took it and went
away.
Ten years afterwards the Judge had
the contract to give for the building
of several magnificent public buildings.
There were many applicants among
master builders, but the face of one caught
his eye.
1t was my man of the fence" he
said. 81 knew we should have only
good, genuine work from him. 1t gave
him the contract and it made rich man
of him"
1t is pity that boys are not taught
in their earliest years that the highest
success belongs only to the man, be he
carpenter, farmer, author or artist, whose
work is most sincerely and thoroughly
done.-Llving Age.
