A POddl0r's R0m@mcs-The Strange Story of a Swiss Gentleman.
 LONDON, May 1.-The famous deaf and dumb kpick-knack peddler who, during the past fourteen years. attracted so much st-
 tention on London bridge, is dead and the
 subject of the latest sensation. He died in the Southwark workhouse, near the south end of the bridge. Despite his infrmitives
 he manageable support himself by his small
 sales, and, securing official and police favor
 by the gentleness of his demeanor and the
 intelligence of his conduct, he was allowed
 to occupy the same post on the great thoroughfare from year to year. Before his death, the peddler beckoned to his cot one of the hospital attendants and terrified
 him by speaking to him. When the attendant recovered from his astonish- ment, the bsggar confessed that his deafness and dumbness had been feigned He said he was Swiss gentleman of fortune, and belonged to one of the best families in the republic. When young man he was betrothsd to beautiful and accomplished girl. He was possessed of a most violen temper, and, in a lover's quarrel one day over Q trifie, he SO wounded the girl by the  bitterness of his invective that she fell ill The reproaches of his friends for his cruel conduct stung so that he became melancholy from remorse and left home. He then re- solved to punish himself. He vowed to be- come voluntary exile for twenty years, l to earn his own living, leave his for ! tune untouched, keep his relatives and friends ignorant of his whereabouts and go bareheaded and barefooted in all weathers during the entire time and to listen to no one and speak to no human being during the ten last years of his exile. If he had lived to complete his VOW he meant to return home and use his fortune and the remainder of his days in making his betrothed happy, provid- ing she were alive and unmarried. He had rigidly kept his VOW. "But," he cried before he expired, ''my time is not quite up, and must die before it is. have been punished as deserved" Investigation, so far as it hasegone, has proven that the peddler's story is entirely true. and hIs family in Switzer-
 land have been made acquainted with his death.

True to Their Mether-LittIe Children
 Who Refused to Swear Their Mother a
 Murderess.
 DUBLIN, May 11.-A sensational scene of an unusual kind, even in Irish murder trials, occurred yesterday at Carrick-on- -Suir, county Tipperary. The victim of the sup posed murder was Michael Blaney, of Kill cash, whose body was recently exhumed and was found to show traces of arsenic in sufi- cient quantity to cause death. Suspicion rest ed upon the widow, and she was arrested and placed on trial at Carrick-on-Suir yesterday Her two children, of very tender years, were produced as witnesses, but on being placed upon the witness table they stubbornly re. fused to utter a word. They were threaten ed with imprisonment, and were evidently much frightened, but threats and persuasion alike failed to elicit from them 8 single morsel of evidence. They were therefore committed for contempt of court and or dered to be kept in confinement separate frem their mother until they purge them selves of contempt by giving their testimony in open court.
 The severity of the judges action under the peculiar circumstances has caused great sensation in the neighhorhood and has turned the sympathies of the people in favor of the widow, who has hitherto been regarded by most of the neighbors as guilty.

 FoRT WORTH, May 11.-Last night sn Italian priest, J. Casimier, en route from Chicago to Los Angeles, was robbed of SIS, GOO at the Union depot in this city. At Dallas he got out and at benchstand dis played his roll when he paid for his lunch. He was noticed by two men who afterward tried to scrape up an acquaintance on the train. Just as he reached the Union depot they pushed against him and one jerked the roll out of his pocket and escaped. Casimier cried out and followed the men, telling of his loss to the depot watchmen. The men were not found, but just as the train was leaving he saw the robbers board the train and cried out, but too late. By the use of the telegraph 1t was discovered that man jumped from the train just beyond this city. The money was mostly in 8 1000 bills.

The man introduced the girl as his niece, Miss Edna Tate, of Harper's Ferry, and asked for a room for her. When the apartment was assigned her he visited it to see if it was suitable, and soon after took his departure leaving the girl alone. Tester day morning the hotel was filled with gas, which was traced to Miss Tate's room, and when the door was broken open she was found insensible. The gas stopcock was open. Physicians were immediately sent for, but death ensued last night. The police have been searching for the man who brought her to the hotel without success. He had stated his intention of returning yesterday morning for his niece, but did not do so. In- quiry of responsible parties in Harper's Ferry prove concIusively that the name Tate is false ons There is not single clew to the girls identity, and suspicion is gaining ground that the man who took her to the hotel turned open the gascock while in the room. The girl was quite pretty and evi- dently well educated and refined. The phy- sicians think that she was about to become 8 rnofhar

No Statues Game To Hear.

None of the so-called statues appeared ir the gallery of St. Mary's church yesterday to ruffle the equanimity of those who thought the singing which was not ur to their ideal of musical excellence was due to the disturbing magnetism ol the statues. And the leading soloistf and many of the chorus singers had gone to join the statues, and the places that once knew them were desolate!and forsaken. They had somehow not taken kindly to the ides that the presence of alleged animated statues in the gallery could hush the tuneful harmo. ny with which they were wont to chant ths praises of divine service. So organ voluntaries were brought in to make substitute which, however skillfully executed though they were, failed to impart that exalting power of religious inspiration which flows naturally from the blending oi voices in sweet and harmonious unison. It is probable, however, that with the continued absence of the objectionable statues even the remnants of once effective choir may lead the thoughts of the congregation to spiritual things with a directness and a fervor that can come only from an effective concentra ton of vocal energies-
