For Killing Thomas Gavin at Livingston
Last December
LIVINGSTON. Jan. 30.-TSpecisl. THE
CASE of Charles Bloom. who is now on trial
before Judge Henry for the murder of
Thomas Gavin. Dec. 22, is attracting un-
usual attention in this city Each day
since the commencement of the trial the
court room has been crowded to the doors
and many have been turned away unable to
gain admittance. Considerable trouble has
been had the past four days in securing
jury. The twelfth juror was finally &C.
cepted this forenoon at IL O'Clock. The
defense objected to the deposition Of
Douglas Flint, an eyewitness to the shoot
ing. being admitted in evidence The OBJ
lection was made on the ground that tho
justice before whom the testimony was
given had failed to sign the acknowledge
ment. Judge Henry overruled the obiec-
tion and allowed the deposition to bs
properly signed.
The evidence submitted by the prosecu-
tion was in substance that Bloom entered
the saloon and asked Gavin for the loan of
S.; that Gavin offered him 81, saying it
was all he had; that Bloom became abus-
I've and struck at Gavin, who then came
from behind the bar to put Bloom out of
the saloon; that the two men fought out on
to the sidewalk. and that Bloom was
thrown to the ground; that Bloom while ly-
ing on his side drew a revolver and
shot Gavin in the leg; that Gavin turned to
enter the saloon when Bloom fired again,
the shot striking Gavin in the back pro-
ducing fatal wound; that Gavin WAS car
ried to room over the saloon, where he
soon after died.

BEFORE HIS WIFE's EYES
johnson Miller Crushed to Death in a Con,
Mine,

johnson Miller Crushed to Death in q Coal
Mine.
CHINOOK, Jan. - Special, An accident
occurred at Box Elder, on Monday last, in
which johnson Miller lost his life. On
Monday Mr.. Miller and family drove TO his
coal mine which he had recently located.
for the purpose Of procuring wagon load
of coal. 1t seems that he had only begun
the development of the mine as the en-.
trance was only six feet wide, and the
length Of the tunnel but about twelve feet.
Leaving his wagon and family at the en-
trance of the mine, he proceeded to drill
hole through the coal and striking the
dirt overhead. He placed a shot. and
after waiting a sufficient length of time for
ID to explode, he thought it was dead and
put in another one. This one did explode.
and too soon for the unfortunate man to
escape from the tunnel. He was knocked
down on his face and completely buried
beneath the falling coal, which was of such
quantity that it clushed him. He was con-
scious for short time, but only his wife
being near, no assistance could be rem
dered; in fact. with plenty of aid his life
could not have been saved, as the Injuries
were principally internal and fatal in their
character.

now until March he will be az much the
chief adviser of Mr.. Cleveland as he will be
after the inauguration.
MIR. Cleveland felt that II Mr. Carlisle

the wind was from the southwest and
was not very strong, only four miles an

rate of eight miles an hour. Later it blew
harder aud at eight o'clock genuine bliz-

began week ago to-day and every day the
thermometer has registered below zero.

A Genuine Philanthropist.

One of New York's philanthropic mer-
chants spends thousands Of dollars each
year in aiding the poor, but none of his
beneficiaries eve gets u cent in cash.
His idea Is that money giving demoral-
ICES the recipient. He will buy groceries
and pay rent for u distressed family and
secure employment for the wage earn
ers. Once they are at work ho tells
them that ho considers it u moral obi
cation for them to refund, at any con-
venient season, the sum he has expended.
II they do, he regards the case rs a tri-
umph Of self respect. II they don't, he
finds somo excuse for them in his own
mind and keeps right on at his self APP
pointed task. Last winter he hired a hall
in tho Hebrew district down town, en-
gagged a competent teacher and provided
o number of Jewish girls with free in
structions. Noproselyting was attempt
ed. Indeed not word was said about
religion. The girls became greatly in
terested, and their brothers begged for
and obtained admittance. Similar classes
are to he established this winter. The
merchant allows himself IN income Of 3d.
900 per year. All the rest of the money

How to Learn Music.

Do not fail to take advantage of the
library. Begin a course Of good read.
ing. Music is notorious for narrowing
ones mind, so resolve to counterbalance
your practice with library work as well.
As to your practice, l would give you
this maxim, 1.-The essential thing in
practice is to SEQ exactly what is to DO
done in all its details, and then do it
again and again with the greatest clear
ness, precision and energy"
When you take up u new piece, notice
the key, the harmonies, chords, scales,
lingering and general effects. One Of
the first necessaries is concentration"
Develop self criticism. "The thing you
cannot do is the very thing you should
make yourself do"
In practice begin where you left off
tho day before. Connect your days
work. Apply all your knowledge. Do
not try to do more than thing ut q
time. Spend q good deal Of time every
day thinking about what you arc doing
and what you will Edward ID. Hale.
