A MINER MURDERED
AZ nerghoir. IN Jefferson County, by a
Fellow Northumberland TO sttubcn-
willie aud Committed 10 Jai,.

A murder was committed at Bergholz,
a mining town In the northwestern part
OF Jefferson county. ol.J. yesterday
morning at the mines which have been
the scene OF other murdcrous ARRAYS.
John Brown, who drove entries In the
mi" mine. met death from Il blow Of
a pick point welded by John Kellogg, u
miner. The murder occurred about six
O'Clock, Just nB the men were getting
re:sly TO begin work, and grew out uf II
quarrel over an empty car. Kellogg
wanted the car which was nearest ilS
entry. AZ he had coal he wanted to send
out, but Brown would not give II 20 him.
a scuilie OF short duration took place.
which cuded by Kellogg grabbing his
pick and sinking IL In browns left lex
above hlB knee. 4no pick point penc-
trated an artery. Brown bled to death
In about ten minutes after he was
struck. Kellogg has been working
there about seven years and Ia married
and has u wife and one child. Brown
was about forty years old and Il widow
rr. bis wife being dead about Two
months: he had worked about BerghoIz
the past six years.
According to Kellogg. he wanted to
take the car. which was standing In his
entry with his tools In It, farther up
the entry and unload the tools md
bring 1t back. Brown refused TO have
the car moved and Kellogg had taken
SOME OF the tools out. and as he reach
ed for another pick Brown struck him
and grabbed the pick which wac In
KellogG's hand and tried To jab the
point Into his side. In swinging II
around kellogg thinks he may have
showed II into Browns leg. He says
liz. did not intend TO do so. and did not
know Brown was hurt until the latter
| cried out. Kellogg helped carry Brown
nut and told some one to go for Il doc
tor. He aftcrward went TO see Brown
| after the latter was hauled home dead.
| KELLOGG gave himself up and no one
seems TO regret the occurrence more
than the prisoner does. Kellogg did not
want to fight when Brown struck ut
| him, and he called for his buddy" 10
stop Brown.
Kellogg was taken to Steubenvllle and
lodged In jail by Constable Ham Salts
man and later taken before Squire
| Trainer, where Constable SALESMAN
made IN affidavit charging him with
murder In the first degree. Kellogg
plead not guilty, waived q preliminary
examination and was held to await the
action OF the grand jury.
The murderer Is unCouth In appear
ance. He ia about the same age as
Brown. KellOgg's tale is p!tlful and
shows that the murder Was accidental
and probably In sclf-derense.

hall last evening, as one of the features
OF the bazaar being held this week for
the benefit OF the city Hospital, was nat
oniya success In coItuming. but In many
Instances the sololsts and chorus scored
distinct artistic trlumphs. The a:mos.
phere OF the fathers OF our fOrbelrs was
there, and the delicate perfume Of the
virtues OF the maids and matrons OF
those far distant days was almost per.
oeptlble as '"olde Hundred" "LenoS'
and othcr treasures OF the repertoire Of
the days of ancient melody swclled into
Il grand chorus from the throats OF the
youthful singers who dlssembled IN
features and dress last night.
The only criticism that can be offered
by the impresslOnuble reporter Is. that
II was a pity that ~ much lovcllncss OF
feature and form should b. dlsil6ured-.
even for so good a cause.

literally patronized. and every article
provided was t0othsome. This Is the
last day of entertainment that has been
In progress for this most worthy char

half O. million dollars; indeed n much
more modest sum might be suggested.
The institution is in need Of all the
helm that can be extended. To-day the
usual lunch will be served at noon, con-
slsting OF the most ~pnlatable and appe-
tlzlng dishes. And the supper, at the
same hour rs heretofore. will be on the
table for discussion at the usual price.
