THE ToNoPHoNE.
Beautiful Electric Piano at the Ice cream Parlors of Bastiani &
 Cassimus.

SuoSA4AuS.
 In line with their usual policy of ag- gresiveness, Bastiana & Cassimus have just had installed in their Ice Cream of an electric piano. which will furnish music for their friends. morning. after nocn and night, during the Summer.
 The Tonophone is magnificent instru- IT nent and is totally different from any, thirg of it's kind ever put On .hc mar ret. In appearance it resembles the piano. with the exception of the front. V hich shows no keys. and is operated en- tirely by electricity.
 The Tonophone is the invention of Jos. ven Jenney. who is at present in Mont gt mery making a tour of the South, and the instrrnent he has just sold to Bas- tisni & Cassimus is the first ever brought to the State of Alabama. MT. von Jenney N associated with the large manufactur- ing concern of The R. Wurlitzer Co.,, whose factory is located at North Tona- wen6a, N. Y.. and whose sales head quarters are at Cincinnati, O.
 All of the newest and popular music, and quite a number of the classics, are played by the Tonophone in perfect manner. and to hear 1t. ore would imag- inc some gifted pianist manipulated the keyboard. Mir. Cassimus said to rep resentative of The Advertiser last night that he was very much pleased with the Tonophone. and felt that 1t would greatly augment the attractiveness of their Ice Cream Parlors. It is certainly a treat to hear the instrument play. and 1t would not be going too far to predict that 1t will add to the constantly increasing throng that visits their parlors each day and night.
 Tell your friends about the Tonophone. and be sure that you hear it, and while you are enjoying its sweet music, treat yourself to some of the delicious good things served. adv.

IN HANDS OF JURY
ARGUMENT IN coFFMAN CASE
 CONCLUDED.
Justice of the Peace Charged With the Murder of Rev. ]. ". Bradford at Brookside
 Last Winter.

Birmingham, June 14-tSpecial) l)-The trial of R. D. Coffman is at an end and the, case is now with the jury. The aryu- ments were concluded yesterday, Solici- tor H. r. Hefin closing for the prosecu- tion, and the case was given to the jury after an able charge by Judge Samuel E. Greere. The trial of this case began two weeks ago, and it has been as stubborniy fought as any criminal case in tine his- tory of Jefferson County The defendant was represented by five leading attorneys and they left no stone unturnsd to estab- fish his side of the case. On the other hand, the county solicitor was aided by able counsel. who had been employed by citizens of that place to join in the pro- secution. About 200 witnesses were ex- anined.
 Coffman. who is a justice of the peace at Brookside, shot and killed Rev. J. w.. Bradford, pastor of the Brookside Meth ooist Church. in the parsonage at that place last winter. the killing being a most sensational one. The State sought to prove that Coffman went to the house of MT. Bradford for the purpose of reveng- ing fimself for sighting remark all legged to have been made by the minister, while the defence sought to prove that the minister sent for Coffman and that he went to the house in response to this call. The defence also sought to prove that after reaching the house Coffman was murderously attacked by the minis ter, and that it was necessary for him to shoot to save his own life Cofrman is a young man and throughout the trial his wife and mother and father have cIung closely to his side. Public opinion is much divided over the case
