not in durance Tor any crime OF misdemeanor.
but. as FAR as We are informed, his incarcora-
ton Is only the result of misfortune and the
persistent prosecution OF q claim which. even II
its Justice Is admitted. he is unable 10 iquidate.
Neil Bryant and his. brother. the late Dan
Bryant. were pioneers In the burnt-cork pro-
fession. For years minstrelsy hourished. and
But minstrelsy had It's day. and Neil Bryants
money melted from his possession.
In April last troupe under the name OF Bry-
ants Minstrels gave entertainments In the
AcadeISy OF Music. in this city. and it was at
that time that the proceedings against Mr. Bry-
the company which used his name as that II
one of the best known and most experienced

not successful, Finding himself unable to
pay the salaries, Mr.. Bryant, during the
company all the receipts taken at the towns on
the route to be divided among tho members.
Benedict was then under salary OF go week.
He AYERS that there Is due him under the en-
Ragement 5000, This claim II appears, he as
signed 70 his brother, Albert b. Benedict Of this
cute the claim and when Mr.. Bryant Visited

Mcssrs Meoch. propretors OF the Academy Of
Music became his bOndsmen for that amount
and Mr.. Bryant was permitted to continue on
his route. The suit was submitted TO q referee
who decided in favor Of the plaintiff. EXecu-
tions were issued against Nj Bryant's prop
erty-ole in Buffalo and the other In New York
He had little or nothing with which 10 satisfy
them. The prosecuting parties then talked Of
a body execution. A body execution would al
low fifteen days in which TO find Mr. Bryant.
II he was not forthcoming in that time, the
bondsmen. the Mossrs. Mech. would forfeit tho
amount for which they had become suretcs.
. ON wednesday morning last me body eNecu :
Bryant honorablY presented himself and being
neither able nor willing TO pay the $1,000, was
committed to jail. lilo had been in the city a
week. quietly awaiting the expected issue Of tho
execution. He was in New York when warned
Of the course likely TO be taken, and alth ough
