The home life which the American traveller
was admitted to view has many engaging ele-
ments, however little It might suit the Anglo
Saxon for himself:

tlemen jest, all in an atmosphere OF ease and
spontaneous sociabilty. The father is not pre-
occupied with business. the mother has never

Why So Many Arsiilerymen saffor From
 Defective Hearing.

The stunning report of each gun as it is fired is something that stranger on the deck of a ship of war will long reme"sber. There IS an old saying, "deaf as a post" Now in the English navy this is changed to "deaf as a post "a tain" No man can go through a le- series of gunnery practices Witfc,'t having his hearing seriously affeet-.. Some men put cotton in theii ears, but even this precaution does lit tie to deaden the terrible shock. And if the firing of one or two guns has such shattering power, what would be the effect if the whole armament were in action together? It is im- possible to conceive the strain on nerve and. senses of the rending eoneussion. If a visitor watches the firing of one Of the monster ni7e-ineh guns and then places bimsaif beside enc of the small CT pie ,Gs, the report made by the one will not appear much louder than that of the ether. The extra distance to the muzzle of the big pieces discounts tbe sound. The only apparent difference between the two appears to be that the small pieces have sharper, high er=pitened l. ote, and that the six ano nine-inch guns speak with more of a believing roar. One piece of, advice may be given to any one who finds himself in the neighborhood of gun in action. The noise will not have nearly the same effect if you are watching the gun as if the crash comes unexpectedly Uneonsciously nature prepares you to resist shock which ia known to be impending.

New York Musical Club.

The first entertainment before the
Teachers Institute was given on
Monday evening by the New York
Musical Club, which includes a re-
otter, who capt,ivated the audience;
a soprano singer, who has sweet
voice. though rather weak, and who
was laborng under disadvantage by
slight illness; a violnlst; and saxo-
phonist, who are named on the pro-
gram as soloists, but who can hardly
be placed in that class professionally.
1t did not profess to be a highly
artistic program, and probably pleased
the audience better for that reason.
There were "tunes" in their select
ions that everybody could understand
and appreciate, and that is why every
number was enthusiastically encored.
Miss Greene's recitations were very
we'll rendered. She made the audience
laugh at her humorous selections, and
held their closest attention when she
gave a serious scene from "Quo
Vadis."

On Trial For Murder.

The trial of Ritter Goss charged
with the murder Of John Cole, above
Benton on the evening of July 2Ist
last was taken up in court on Tues.
day. Our readers are all familiar with
the circumstances of the case. Cole
1t will be remembered was returning
home on a bicycle. Above the Ed.
son bridge he was overtaken by a
team Of horses, knocked down ard
killed. Ritter Goss vas the driver of
the team. He was promptly arrested.
AT the hearing given him much evil
dence OF an incriminatng nature was
offered and he was held for court.
The grand jury returned true bill.
This is only :the third time that a
Columbia county Grand Jury has re-
turned true bill on a murder charge.
The first was in the famous Molly
Macgulre case, twenty-three years
ago.
An examination of list Of forty
eight jurors resulted in the selection
of the following jury: David Mouser,
Montour township: Abraham Bennett,
Pine; Nathan Rice, Beaver; John H.
Parker, Cleveland; James Hobbs.
Mifflln; Wilbur Fritz, Jackson; Thorn
as Downs, Beaver; b. ID. Cole,
Sugarloaf; Samuel Pugh, Charles
Persyl, John w. Knles and William
G.. Rhodomoyer, Bloomsburg.
District Attorney John G.. Har-
man opened the case for the common
wealth.
The first person called was James
c. Brown. He submitted drawings
of the road at the point where the
tragedy occurred showing the width Of
the road, etc. The diagram was hand
ed to the jury for inspection.
Testimony was given by Charles
VanHorn, Bruce VanHorn and Rob-
ert Evans. All three were with Ritter
Goss in the wagon on the fatal night.
The evidence of the latter was prob
ably the most damaging to the accus-
ed of any yet adduced. But he ad-
mitted having been under the effects
of liquor, which fact took away the
strength of his story. In cross en-
animation, too he was badly mixed up.
Fred Ikeler and John G. Freeze are
counsel for the defense.

Burglar Identified.

A Cambria correspondent furnishes
the following:
The burglar, who met death at this
place few weeks ago, has been posi-
lively identified, by careful and
thorough investigation, as Sir Chas.
Douglass, the name by which he
passed at the different fairs; late OF
Flnleyville, Washington county, Pa,
where he has wife. The lady with
whom Mr.. Hughes has been in COM
munication regarding the man, says
ne was Scotchman by birth and very
intelligent. He was reformed
gambler and preached while living
there. He left sometime in Septem-
Der, since then they have had no
account of him until they saw an
account of the shooting at this place
he was wanted at that place for bur-
glary, as he took $500 and a gold
watch when he left.

DEATHCANEQUICK
Peter Jones Crushed to Death
by a Falling Crane at
Catawissa.
He was Foreman at the HamIin
Car Shops.

Peter Jones, an old and respected
citizen of Bloomsbury, met with
sudden and violent dealh at the
Hamlin Car Works last Saturday at
about quarter Of two Charles B.
Oil, superintendent of the works, gave
the following account Of the accident
to the DaiU on Monday. Mr.. Oil
was an eye witness.
"Mr. Jones was at work with
force OF men and was erecting large
derrick pole twelve inches in diameter
and forty feet long which was mounted
heavily with iron bands, the pole and
its equipments weighing about 1900
lbs. This mad been raised to a point
about twenty-five feet high when the
first derrick, by which it was being
raised, suddenly snapped in two places,
and the huge pole being top-heavy
the men with their pike poles were
unable to hold it, and the end which
was to have rested in heavy iron
socket was forced SIX or eight feet
toward the point where Mr.. Jones was
standing. In its descent it struck an
ordinary hitching post and the re.
bound of the big piece Of timber after
striking the post was the blow that
unquestionably killed him. He was
knocked several feet away and the
pole atterward fell across his body in
the region of the stomach. The blow
struck Mr.. Jones in the face and it is
thought that his neck was broken.
Kind friends Immediately admin
istered to him and medical aid was
summoned but it was all to no pur-
pose, as he died in very few minutes
after the accident occurred, which was
about 1:45 p. m.
1t is strange to relate that the der
rick which broke and caused his death
was Of his own construction and had
been erected under his personal super
vision"
Mr.. Jones was carpenter bytrade.
He served four years as a member OF
the Town Council, and SIX years as
School Director in Bloomsbury. He
has also filled the Office of Assessor,
and was many tines member of the
election board.
He was born in Mt. Pleasant town
ship, this county, on October 10, 1882
and was therefore aged 68 years, I
month and 2I days. He was son
of John Jones, and the other children
were: Catharine, now the widow of
Frederick Schwinn, and now residing
IN Scranton; Evan, now deceased;
Eli and Frank, of this town; and
Thomas, residing in Three Rivers,
Michigan. Peter moved to Blooms
burg in 1850, and has resided here
ever since. On February 9, 1860 he
married Polly Wanich, and one son,
Charles w. Jones, of this town was
the only offspring.
Mr.. Jones was a quiet and law
abiding citizen, and his family have
much sympathy. The funeral was
held at the residence on Wednesday
at two o'clock.
