JOSEPH JEHLE SHOT.
A 38-Caliber Bullet Ends His
Last Evening at 6,30
0'Clock.
Life
END OF A MiSFIT MARRIAGE.
An Inquest Will Be Held This Afternoon by
Justice Finn—Great Mystery Surround-
ing the Shooting.
Joseph Jehle is lying dead at J. Levy &
Bros.' undertaking 'rooms on Postofiice
street with a hole in his head, through
which the life blood ebbed at (5.30 o'clock
last evening. The hole was made by a
pistol ball of 38-caliber. It entered his
mouth, perforated his tongue and was cut
out of his .right shoulder.
The shot was fired at 5.15 in the barroom
of the Tolex place, on the beach at Seventh
street and avenue L. Jehle never uttered
a word after the shooting and died an
hour and a quarter later.
Immediately after the shooting the police
station was notified by telephone and Chief
Lordan sent two men out in the patrol
wagon. Sergeant Paul Delaya happened
to be In the vicinity and was the first offi-
cer on hand. He found the man lying on
the floor by the bar in a pool of blood, as
though he had been standing facing the
bar and had turned and fallen forward on
his face; A broken pipe stem was between
his teeth, the pipe lying on the floor in a
pool of blood.
It is claimed by those About the place
that the man fired the shot himself that
caused his sudden demise. Sergeant De-
laya found a 41-caliber Colt's revolver on
a shelf behind the bar, which those in the
house claimed was the instrument of self-
destruction. The ball which was taken
from the shoulder of the deceased was
pronounced to be a 38. Unless the de-
ceased was left-handed the shot had a pe-
culiar course.
Jehle and his wife had been having con-
siderable trouble lately. Both have figured
in the police court. On New Year's nlgbt
he came into the police station with a
badly damaged optic, claiming that he had
received it in a family row. Later his wife
preferred charges of disturbing the peace,
but the case was nolle prossed.
The wife claims that Jehle, who was a
bricklayer and about 45 years of age, was
drung and quarrelsome and threatened her
life. They separated several times, the last
time about six weeks ago. Joseph and
Mrs. Jehle had been living with Frank
Butts, who is running the Tolex place.
She claims that yesterday morning he and
a man named Mobile came to the door,
which was locked. Mobile was let in, but
Jehle was told to clear out. He went
away very wrathy and came back in the
evening.
The wife claims that both she and Butts
were out of the barroom at the time of
the shooting. When she came in, alarmed
by the shot, a stranger, whose name she
did not know, was bending over Jehle, who
mis lying on the floor.
Justice Finn was called, and after exam-
ining the body and a couple of witnesses,
called an inquest for 1 o'clock to-day, when
a solution of the mystery may be arrived
at. County Attorney Bradford Hancock
was also present.
No arrests have been made. Detectives
Jordan and Owens are working on the
case.

CHILDREN'S PURIM.
Entertaining Tableaux of Bible Stories.
Little Folks Make Merry.
The much talked of, long expected Purlm
ball of 1895 is now a matter of history. Last
evening Harmony hall was packed to Its
utmost with a large, expectant crowd, all
intent upon seeing the tableaux from Bible
stories, and the audience felt fully repaid
for its trouble, to judge by the storm of
applause that greeted every number.
The little children filled the highest ex-
pectations, In fact, they could not have
been better. They all took their poses with
the utmost grace and showed by the ex-
pression they lent to their work that they
were fully acquainted with the characters
they represented. Noticeable features were
the handsome costumes and scenery dis-
played. All the dresses were of the richest
material, and made up with great care as
to harmony in color, and that they should
be perfect fac-similes of the styles they
represented. This successful feature of the
programme was due to the efforts of the
chaperones, who personally superintended
the cutting and fitting of the costumes.
The following tableaux were presented:
PART I.

orchestra, under direction of Mr. B.
Schram.

Lewis, Rosa Block, Jennie Cohen and Jen-
nie Mansberg.
Arranged and directed by Miss Loula
Jockusch, assisted by Miss Bella Marx and
Florette Lovenberg.
The first tableau was that, of Queen
Esther confounding llaman. As the whole
entertainment was in Queen Esther's
honor, a few words as to last night's
presentation of this part will not be out of
order. Miss Florine Lasker made a most
stately queen, an.l was dressed in the most
approved style of that day. The Deluge
was handpomelv mounted as to scenery and
costume, and elicited much applause. Mas-
ter Ralph Schwartz made i most venerable
Abraham, and little Baby Lieberman, as
Moses, came in for his share of praise.
The Misses Stern and Levy as Jephthah's
daughter, and Ruth, respectively, went
through their parts with great grace, and
looked exceedingly pretty.
But all the members of the cast were
food. all nartlciuanta did so well that
further comment Is unnecessary. The
choruses were well trained.
Miss Alice Moritz gave the Biblical his-
tory of each number in good style, an.d
added greatly to the entertainment. Miss
Jockus' h deserves great credit for the suc-
cess of the performance, as the manage-
ment was entirely in her hands.
After the tableaux a dance was given by
the ehildreit, followed by a supper, and the
children went home, after having enjoyed
tht ni.- ives to the utmost, to dream of next
year's Purim.
AMUSEMENTS.
CLEVELAND'S MINSTRELS.
There was not a large audience at the
Grand opera house last night to witness
the performance given by Cleveland's min-
strels, but a blind man would not have
known that only a few were there from
the character of the performance. As much
care was taken, as much attention given to
detail for the pleasure of the few as would
have been given for a packed house.
The singers were in much better voice
than on the evening previous, and re-
ceived well merited applause all the way
through. A feature of great artistic merit
was'the performance on the bells by Mr.
Arthur Coburn. He drew from the tiny
bells the sweetest music imaginable and
received several encores.
"WANG" TO-NIGHT.
'Wang," one of the latest comic opera
successes, will be presented at the Grand
opera house to-night and" Saturday mat-
inee. The presentation of "Wang" will be
with an idea to details. The costumes are
accurately Siamese and the scenery, of
which a carload is carried, represents the
Siamese localities in which the scenes of
the opera are laid. One hundred and fifty
costumes are worn by the chorus alone.
"Wang" was written by Goodwin &
Morse, and is owned by D. W. Truss &
Co., which firm has held the proprietor-
ship from the time it was staged.

DR. J. ROMAINE RICKER, \
Dentist, 8117 Market street*
Could the Rev. George Hudson from
away over in China have looked across the
seas into the parlors of the First Presby-
terian church last evening, he would have
felt that this congregation certainly appre-
ciates his work. For upward of four years
he has been In China as the foreign mis-
sionary of the church, one of the few con-
gregations that fully supports Its own for-
ign missionary. Being a graduate of this
church, as one may say, there Is a tie that
binds and makes these annual missionary
teas of more or less a tribute of personal
appreciation. Where a person or society is
working for the advancement of a friend
or his cause the interest is more keen and
heartfelt.
The missionary tea embraced four fea-
tures, each of which was splendidly pat-
ronized. There was a sale, a musical en-
tertainment, a supper and warm sociabil-
ity. The sale was the first in order and the
ladies had prepared elaborately for it. The
room set apart for this portion of the en-
tertainment was the first parlor from the
stairway and two corners were occupied
with it. The candy table was decorated
apropos of the cause for which the tea was
given. A huge Chinese umbrella served as
a canopy, and about lis «dge, somewhat
apropos of the position held by the Jap-
anese, were little lanterns of the latter
nation. A big Japanese mat was hung on
the wall and made a very pretty back-
ground. Three tables, trimmed with decor-
ations of yellow crepe paper, upheld the
candles. The candies and the boxes that
contained them were made by some of the
fair ladles of the congregation. Miss Craw-
ford, Miss Thompson, Mrs. Kennedy and
Mrs. Beatty served all with toothsome
delicacies.
In the opposite corner was the fancy ta-
ble, all the articles of which were taste-
fully arranged. Right in the center of the
table was a water color of the First Pres-
byterian church, with the gray horse and
buggy of Dr. Scott occupying a prominent
position in the foreground. Miss Dee Beebe
is the artist. On one of the shelves at the
back was a landscape In water color by
Miss Perry of Austin. A very delicate hand
painted fruit plate by Mrs. Knapp was an-
other of the articles. There were sofa pil-
lows, hand worked silk articles and nov-
elties that commanded high prices. A
small hand painted China photograph
frame by Mrs. Beatty attracted much at-
tention. Another article that was often
admired was a jewelry case made by Mrs.
Ball. But the novelties of the table were
the hand painted rag dolls, named Eliza
dolls, for which these missionary teas have
become famous. During the years the
ladles have been giving these teas over six
hundred of these dolls have been sold and
have resting places in many homes from
Maine to California. Mrs. Ball makes them
and has secured no copyright.
At 7.30 o'clock the sale was stopped and
the ladies and patrons of the entertainment
were called to the Sunday school room be-
low. The room was well filled. Dr. Scott
delivered the invocation. Mr, John Hanna
sang a bass solo, "My Native Land." He
was followed by IMrs. iMerrow, Mrs. (Main
and Mr. Fuller, who rendered "Hear Our
Prayer." Miss Burck sang Chaminade's
"Rosemonde," and Dr. Scott spoke for a
few minutes on missions. Miss iMcCul-
lough rendered a piano solo, "Chromatic
Valse," and -Mr. Frank Ball also gave an
excellently rendered piano solo. The Zither
club of five pieces, of which Mr. Paul
Naschke is the kader, rendered a couple
of selections. The entertainment closed
with the "Missionary Hymn" and benedic-
tion by Dr. Scott. The audience then filled
the rooms above, where the sale was re-
sumed and supper served. The parlors in
the rear of the sale room were furnished
with neatly arranged tables, at which
were served various delicacies, including
salads, Vienna cakes, sandwiches, tea and
coffee. The ladies who presided at these
tables were Mrs. Ball, Mrs. C. Root, Mrs.
Banks, Mrs. S. Root, (Mrs. 'Wortham, Mrs.
Remmelin, Mrs. Scott and 'Miss M. Scott.
At the cake table »Mrs. Bishop, IMrs. New-
son and Mrs. English presided.
The ladies who presided over the desti-
nies of the missionary society were all
there. These were: Mrs. McCullough, pres-
ident; Mrs. Scott, vice president; Mrs. Kil-
lough, secretary; Mrs. Dr. Nichols, treas-
urer, and Mrs. P. Griffin, first directress.
The o'bject of the tea is to raise funds
for the support of the Rev. George Hud-
son in missionary work in China. Mr.
Hudson came to Galveston when he was
22 years of age, from England. He went to
-work as a cTerk for E. D. Garratt & Co.
and simultaneously began to take a deep
Interest In the Young 'Men's Christian as-
sociation. He attended the First Presby-
terian church, and Dr. Scott, finding him a
remarkably bright and energetic young
man, proposed to educate him for the min-
istry if he had a desire to enter that field
of labor. Dr. Scott and members of his
congregation then took up the work, sent
him to Austin, and later to the Union sem-
inary in Virginia, where he graduated with
high honors for himself. He came away
with the resolution to enter the foreign
missionary work. His mother church was
not slow to respond to his wish and he was
sent to Foo Chow in "September, 1891, where
he has since remained, he being supported
wholly by this church. Every six months
the church forwards him $300. Since enter-
ing the work he married a young lady of
his native land and has only once been alb-
sent from his field of work, that being
last year, when'she was sick and he took
her to Japan for her health.

DR. WYETH'S INVENTION.
He Will Demonstrate It at the Medical
College To-Day.
Dr. John A. Wyeth, the "prince of sur-
geons," will demonstrate his Invention for
the bloodless amputation at the hip joint
at 11 o'clock to-day in the medical college.
It is expected that a large number of the
members of the medical profession, besides
the students of the college, will be present
to listen to the lecture and witness the
demonstration. As was stated at the oys-
ter roast given in his honor Wednesduy
evening, this invention alone would have
made him famous. But he has done many
other things which have gained him the
title of "prince of surgeons." He was a
confederate soldier and still possesses a
warm affection for the southland, as was
recently demonstrated In his articles on
southern prisons printed In the Century
Magazine. His career has been more or
less romantic. lie was a poor young man
and rose to the head of his profession. He
founded the New York polyclinic, won sev-
eral prizes for essays on medical topics,
wrote a work that is taken as an author-
ity on surgery and is connected with some
of the leading New York hospitals. So it
is probable that his demonstration to-day
will cause a large assemblage at the col-
lege.
Dr. Wyeth yesterday morning took a car-
riage ride along the beach and returned
perfectly delighted with the trip and the
beach. In the afternoon he called upon a
distant relative and at 4 o'clock took din-
ner at the home of Dr. J. F. Y. Paine.
the efforts of Ticket Agent Joe Morrow of
the International and Great Northern, will
carry up the Galveston contingent. Those
who go up from here can return immedi-
ately after the fight and be on deck for
Saturday's work.
NO BIDS received.
The board of public works met yesterday
at noon to open paving bids, but there were
no bids to open. There were present Presi-
dent Leon Blum, Commissioners Gilbough
and Amundsen and City Engineer Ilallon-
quist. The bids expected were for the pav-
ing of Bath avenue from Mechanic to
Church streets, but certain portions of the
work included in the advertisement were
objected to by the contractors. The board
thereupon instructed the clerk to so re-
aort to the city council and request that
Jids for the paving of Bath avenue from
Mechanic to Postofiice, Twentieth from
Postoffice to I, and Mechanic from Twenti-
eth to Twenty-first be advertised for. The
board then adjourned.
DEMOREST ORATORICAL CONTEST.
The Demorest oratorical contest, as per
programme published in Sunday's News,
will take place at St. James' Methodist
Episcopal church, corner pf Fourteenth and
Postoffice streets, to-night, commencing at
8 o'clock. The misses and young gentle-
men who will participate in the contest
are fully prepared to edify and instruct
the audience, and the singing will be up
to the standard. On the whole a pleasant
entertainment will be presented to those
fortunate enough to be in attendance.
MONGAN'S LAST DAY.
When a Newrs reporter qalled at Bernau's
gymnasium to see Tom Mongan that gen
tleman was not in, but an attache gave the
following information:
"Mongan has been training very lightly
to-day and will hardly do any work to-
morrow (Friday ) He Is in excellent condi-
tion and splendid spirits. He will leave to-
morrow evening on the special for Hous-
ton."
The fight has occasioned considerable
talk in sporting circles here, and no doubt
a large contingent will go to the Bayou
city. No doubt the go will be an interest-
ing one.
The "Mongan special*" secured through
