THE AVOCA TRAGEDY,
IL Is Still the Theme of Talk and
Comment.

The talk about the shooting of Jack
Mayne by Arch Coffman at Avoca has by
no means stopped, and the little bits Of
evidence thus far presented to the public
are the subject of mauy a street corner
and shady discussion during the lulls Of
business. Coffman remains ostensibly In
Jail here, but In fact has not been sab
Jected to any very close confinement.
He is still suffering from the eff acts of
the beating which he received at the
hands of Mayne, and the heat being 80
Intense the iailor has allowed him to re-
main outside the door, and In the
yard much of the time, though
guarded all the time. Some have
compared this treatment with that of
other persons arrested on less serious
charges, and with the treatment of Dr..
Gross, who was kept in the jail with the
other prisoners from the moment of his
arrest. Some criticism has been INDUCED
In as to the discrimination shown, but II
is not thought for a moment that Coffnan
would entertain the least idea of tryinp
to escape, and there seems but little
doubt but that he will be admitted TO
ball 30 soon as the arrangements can be-
made. A preliminary hearing will be
had at Ayoca on Monday, and then more
will be known of the real details of the
1t Ia claimed thatthere will be evidence
that the hight was, In fact, over when
Coffnan shot, and that he fred the shot |
more In reveD geful anger than In any at
tempt to defend himself from further
1t Is also claimed that he went to
the house and got the revolver b. fore
meeting Mayne, aud that this looked like
generalization. Coffman declares that hs
had carried this revolver for i've years or
10, not la the daytime always, but that
was in the habit of takiog 1t With him
he went down town In the
evening, giving as q reason that there
10 many roughs hanging around, some of
whom might attack him. 1t ia rumored
hat the real reason for his carrying the
lver about town o. night was that he
lad been threatened by a prominent
ocAl politician, with whom be had had
ONE differences, and that he feared an
tack from him almost any time, aud
Ia not propose to be oa"ght defenseless.

THE Y. M. G. A.
A Look NJ the Work of the Past Six
Months.

From February 1 to August l., 1885
decided advancement has taken place Ii
the work of our association.
About the LIST of May 1t became neces.
sary to change the quarters for larger
ones where room could be secured to
hold the large numbers of persons who
attended the gospel service and the lit.
erary and social meetings. The rooms
corner of Main and Broadway are now
nicely fitted up and from two to three
hundred people can be accommodated.
A strong, healthy growth has marked
every department. of the work. The
meetings held each week are: a gospel
service, a young mems meeting, a young
mems Bible study, and q literary and
social gathering.
The Gospel service has had an average
attendance of $50, the Young Mems
meeting 80, the Young Mems Bible
study 40 and the literary and social 14O.
The above meeting have all been we'll
sustained and much development In the
spiritual lives of the young men Is
noticeable.
On moving to the present quarters it
was found that there vas a lack of seats,
80 arrangements were made for q chair
sociable which took place on Tuesday
evening, May 18th. As the result about
130 chairs were brought In and donated.
The hall Is pleasantly located, fronting
on Broadway with the east eide on Main
street, well lighted by nine windows, and
them, can be well ventilated.
The first pay entertainment was held
on Tuesday evening, July 28th, and was
we'll attended considering the hot wealth
er. 1t consisted of readings, impersana.
lions, recitationB, tableaux and music.
A curtained stage has been built, and now
we are prepared to give an occasional en-
tertainment, reception or lecture.
A neat register has just been put in
the reading room. 1t Is so arranged rs
to be a directory of young men visiting
the rooms. Il
VI late a number of the boya have
brought their friends in to show them
the advantages to be gained by coming
here, and all seemed pleased to find that
there lis such a place OPP. to the young
of the city.
The aim of the active members of our
