In POVERTY In THEIR OLD AGE.
The Senior Members of the Peak Family of
Swiss Bell Ringers in an Almshouse

SYRACUSE, Feb. 23-Mr. and Mrs. William
Swiss Bell Ringers" who were very popular
throughout the country few years ago, have
become inmates of the CORTLAND county poor
house, having lost their property, and being un-
able longer to compete with the newer attrac-
tons of the stage. Their family has been broken
up by death and the withdrawal of their children
from the company, and they have been trying to
maintain themselves by giving concerts in the
small villages in northern Pennsylvania and
southern New York. Their travelling equipment
was burned in Waverly, Pa, and they became
stranded in Jamestown, in that State They
were admitted 10 the county house on New
Years Day.
Mr. Peak is severty-six years old and his wife
is seventy five. They are very sensitive about
their situation but hope yet to recover their old
position and to maintain themselves Mr. Peak
has the melodeon which they used for thirty
years in their public performances, and the fine
toned glasses on which he played with wooden
mallets They play sometimes for the other in
mates of the poor-house, and their presence is
greatly appreciated. They are natives Of Med
ford, Mass, where, at the age of fifteen, Mr..
Peak played the organ for the Unitarian church.
Forty years ago they joined John B. Cough in
his temperance crusade in New England and
travelled with him several years They recall
his cravings for narcotics after he had quit the
use of liquor, and how he was Kissed in fremont
Temple, Boston, after his temporary lapse in
New York. The tour Of the original Swiss
Bell Ringers with P. T. Barnum gave Mr.. Peak
the idea of organizing such company, and
when the Switzers returned to their own country.
through Barnum he bought their bells, learned
their use, and taught his wife and children, Will
liam Henry Fanny, Julia, Eddie, and Lisetta.
The two latter are dead, William Henry is in
Australia Fannie is widowed and living in
jamestown, Dakota, and Julia, now Mrs. Will
liam Blaisdell, is in California. Their family,
except William Henry's wife. do not know of
their restitution. Mr. Peak lost 500, 900 in
speculation in ST. Paul, and more in theatrical
venture at Pixies Peak. They will probably go
to the Old Folks Home in Ellsworth.
Mr., Peak discovered Sol Smith Russell, and,
speaking of him, said: He was one of the best
boys that ever lived. He came to us barefooted
in Spring feld, ILL.,. and asked the privilege of
peddling our bills that kind of work being then
his only means of livelihood He was very
bright and became so interested in him that
adopted him into the troupe. He was nothing
of singer. but his deficiency in this respect was
more than made up by his genieus for comedy.
l never saw boy that could make such faces.
He would practice for hours and hours together
before glass, appealing to me to tell him how
it all looked, and keeping me in a roar of
laughter. He remained with us for ten or
twelve years"

amounted to SO. IS per day, 100 mile run, or less

stopped for only one day, through the tires of

Awful Explosion.

W1LKEsBARnE, PA, October 2l.-A
terrific explosion of gas took place in
No. 2 slope Of the Hudson Coal Conn
pany, at Plymouth, this morning, caused
by miner, who entered an abandoned
portion of the slope, which was marked
dangerous, with a naked lamp. One
man, Denis Titus, is dead, and IA are
frightfully burned. Most of these can
not recover.
The miner who went into the aban-
doned opening and fired the gas, with
fatal results at No. 9 shaft, was Peter
Zelintzkey. There were two explosions.
The first was of gas, which was followed
by another, sweeping everything before
it, sending flame of fire up the slope
and above the fan house and knocking
the shingles and timbers from breaker
400 feet above solid earth. Zeintzkey
was not killed bat was removed from the
slope with only his boots on and no hair
on his head, but was otherwise uninjured.
The scene that ensued was terrible. The
victims of the disasters lay in every di-
rection. Titus vas killed, and when
found lay two hundred feet away from
his kit Of tools, which he vas examining
at the time. When the gas was ignited
all the men in the slope were thrown to
the ground, or against the cars or ribs of
the gangways. The lights on their
heads were extinguished by the shock of
the second explosion, and all were in
confusion, making their way through the
flames and managing with difficulty to
reach place Of safety.

All the Bad Gone Out.

They we're going to whip man at the
public post at Glendale, Va, and three
or four of US rode over from the Malvern
Hill battlefield to see the operation.
The culprit was burly, big negro, and
the audience, numbering about 500, was
mostly composed of blacks. When we
reached the scene the man was already
triced up. They had his wrists lashed to
a cross.bar on the post, his sleek and
greasy back was bare, and he was trying
hard to work his courage up to meet his
fate like white man.
"Hi! dar Moses-doan' you wish you

one could see that he was "attled."
When the official finally appeared, strap

own wife pushed into the front rank, her
face covered with grin, and called out:

DR.. Curry's Appointment.

WASHINGTON, October 21.-Rev. DR..
Curry, the newly appointed Minister to
Spain, spent the day at the State Depart
ment, where he consulted with the
Secretary and Assistant Secretary of
State, with his predecessor, and with Mr..
Williams, United States Consul. General
to Cuba. To a reporter of the Associated
Press, DR.. Curry said he expected to
leave for his post on the 9th of Noyem'
ber. "It is said, sir" remarked the
reporter, "that you were once in COM
mand at Andersonville, and were in
part responsible for the cruelty practiced
toward the Federal prisoners.
"I never was in Andersonville in my
life," replied DR.. Curry, "and I never
had command of Federal prisoners in
my life, except such as I captured myself,
and those I turned over at once. can
not imagine how such story got its start.
l shall be glad if you will make my
denial broad and emphatic"
"The critics of your appointment"
continued the reporter, Question the
propriety of sending Baptist clergy near

"The criticism is unjust" was the
reply. "It would be strange thing if
the strongest demonstration in the coun.
try-you know weare the strongest-were
to be disqualified for diplomatic offices
on religious grounds. A mans religion,
1 hold, is a thing between his God and
himself, and one with which the Govern
ment has nothing to do. I am little
surprised at the criticism too. The hard.
est struggle have had when in politics
was as q candidate for Legislature in
Alabama during the "Know-Nothing"
excitement. The issues, you remember,
were two-one proposition to deny to
foreigners the privilege of naturalization
after six years residence, and the other
proposition to disqualify Romanists from
holding office. My County was pivo,

"Certainly uot. The Spanish Govern
ment knows my mission has nothing to
do with religion"
"I am very much gratifed by two
things, may say three things" coniinu-
ed DR.. Curry. "when was objected 10 on

a Republican paper as the Providence
Journal vouched for me and said I was

was exceedingly gratifying, coming from

But the expression of approval from the
colored people of the South have been
exceedingly hearty and pleasing. My

Roses RaScality.

ATLANTA, October 2l.-Chas. Rose
was to-day convicted of burglary, for
which he will to morrow be sentenced to
twenty years in the penitentiary. Rose
has had a singular history. Fig hteen
rnonths ago his wife, Jennie, was found
shot to death in hor home. Nancy
Frazer, q cousin, was the only inmate of
the house with her. Suspicion fell on
Charley who was known to be intimate
with Miss Frazer and Miss Clara Suggs.
The women were arrested also, but sutti.
cient evidence could not be found against
them. Four months later Miss Frazer
died, alleging that Rose was guilty of
the murder of his wife.
A week later Miss Suggs took NOR
phine, and before death told her compan
ions that Rose killed his wife, and that
she helped him. The robbery of the
Richmond and Danvile pay car followed,
Of which Rose was undoubtedly the hero,
but sufficient evidence could not be Sc
cured. He followed this By the burglary
OF railroad freight car, The last
offence was the burglary of B;eser's
saloon, and he was only convicted
because he was found in possession of
the goods. His career is now ended.

Anecdotes Of two Famous Painters,

Xeuxis, q famous Greek artist OF an.
cient times, painted so naturally a dish
of grapes held by boy, that birds flew
down to the canvas and pecked the fxnit.
But, while his friends regarded the act
as the best compliment ever paid to an
artist Xeuxis sighed, exclaiming. "Had
l painted the boy as true to nature as
the grapes, the birds would have been
afraid to touch them !"
tits of Xeuxis and rival Greek that
more familiar anecdote is handed
down. The rival was Parrhasius. In
the contest between them, Xeuxis paint
ed his favorite subject, grapes. At the
exhibition of the pictures, down came
the birds again, and flew at the grapes as
if to eat them. "Now," said Xeuxis,
triumphantly, "draw aside that curtain
aud show your picture" His rival
smiled, for the curtain itself was the
picture, painted upon a board to repre-
sent real drapery. The generous Xeuxis
yielded the palm at once, saying, 81 de
ceive birds you, an artist"
