HOW IT HAPPENED.
An Authentic Report OF The
Thousand Island Drowning.
With Proper Treatment Thos. McCulloch
and Geo. Alwell Might Have
Been Alive To-day.

Ii is highly probable that had
Thos. McCulloch and George Alwell
received humane treatment at Thous-
and Islands, one of them, and per-
haps both, would to day have been
living. The LEAF. CHRONICLE has
RETAINED from giving publicity to
the report which came here Monday
regarding the manner 10 which they
lost their lives, from the very reason
that it believed that report was false.
The Bellville (Ontario) Intelligencer,
paper published within few miles
OF where the accident occurred, gives
the first authentic report of tue san e
that has reached GAINESVILLE. Says
the Intelligencer:
yesterday, shortly after noon, the
few ioiterers in front of the big hotel
at the Thousand Island Park, and the
few who remained upon excursion
boats in the vicinity, noticed at dis
lance number of row boats congre-
eating, together with steam launch,
and as the wind drifted them along
it was evident that those In the boats
were engaged with something in the
water. Soon they started for the
wharf, the steam launch towing the
row boats, and as they neared the
shore it was evident that those in the
row boats were towing something,
which, shocking to find, was the
bodies of two men, under whose
arms ropes were passed.
"lhey were soon drawn up on the
wharf, when doctor present de-
clared that in one of the bodies the
pulse still beat. They were taken to
a store-room, and for hours every
thing possible was done to restore the
Pickering torch of life, but without
avail.
"Upon inquiry, it was found that
the two young men stopped over at
the Park in the morning on their
way to Montreal, and had, shortly
before the accident happened, hired
a boat for row, and whilst still
within sight of the hotel their boat
was upset. The accident was seen
by another person in boat, who
instead of going to their assistance
rowed to land for assistance. When
it arrived the two bodies were seen
in about eight feet of water. They
were raised, but instead of bringing
them into the boats and endeavoring
to restore life, they were thus drag
ged to shore.
"Both had gold watches, and in
the pockets of one was found con-
siderable sum of money. On the
person of one of the drowned men
was a memorandum giving his name,
age and weight, and stating that
should any accident happen him, to
telegraph to friend in Tennessee.
On the same body was found an in
surance policy.
"The victims were Thomas McCul-
loch and G. w. Alwell, both of

We suggest that when the question

the notice Of the election be made
more general. IL should te published
In the newspapers, ami It should CON

County Court TO manage the election
aud app ONT the election officers was
also a ma tier u doubt, ana It ought to
have been determined satisfactorily.
We do not think the County Court
or any Of It's members have iusl cause
TO feel disgruntled because the taxpay.

fault II any, rests with their own
party Gdherenls, who, II they had been
no disposed, could have carried the

i,y Of them dis not vote at all. But
II was their right TO vote or no, as they
chose, and to stop sprinkling the

or miserable sort Of economy.

We do not wish TO find fault with the
County Court unnecessarily. Public
men seldom give public satisfaction,
and the criticism that IL 40 freely be-.

very provoking. But In this Instance
1t really looks US though there was oc.

The Falsetto Voice.

Mr.. E. Davidson Palmer, Mus. Bac.
Oxon., calls the attention of scientific
men to an apparently unknown fact in
connection with voice production. This
fact has to do with the so called 'sfalset-
to" voice. The general opinion about
this kind of voice is that it is something
altogether unnatural, and that it ought
never to be used. According to modern
scientific theories, however, it is one of
two or more registers, and is supposed to
be intended by nature to be used only at
the upper extremity of the vocal COM
pass. But it is quite possible to produce
this kind Of voice at much lower pitch
lat least an octave lower) than that at
which singers are ever taught to use it.
Produced in this way, it may be so
weak and feeble as to be practically use
less. Still it is possible SO to produce it,
as men and singers well know. What
they do not know and what scientific
men appear to be totally unaware of, is
that it may be developed at this low
pitch, and not only developed, but COM
pletely transformed. When thus trans
formed it loses entirely its unnatural and
effieminate character, and becomes a
strong, manly voice, which is easily mis-
taken for what is commonly called ''chest
voice." but which, unlike that kind of
voice, is capable of bearing throughout
its whole compass any strain that may
be put upon it.-English Mechanic.

A German Clock.

Mr.. Thomas D. Bullinger, Of Govans-
town, is the owner Of an antique piece
Of mechanism. 1t is the result of years
of labor Of an old clockmaker of Nurem-
berg, Germany. 1t is a clock with
framework of walnut, and stands II
feet high. At the top it is 31s feet
across, but tapers until at the center it
is about 2 feet wide. It rests on a ped
estal, which is the same width as at the
top of the clock. The dial is 12 inches
in diameter, of white enamel and black
figures. In the dial is set a handsome
oil painting of David performing on a
harp and a pretty woman, with bowed
head, listening attentively to the music.
When the clock strikes the hour two
beautiful German airs are heard in sue
cession, and on platform above the
dial twelve small figures of men and wo-
men, about inches high, dance in
couples. Musicians are seated in the
rear of the figures performing on the
cornet, drum and clarionet. A clown
appears clapping his hands and moving
his mouth. A figure appears on either
side of the platform and makes polite
bow. The clock plays twenty-four diff
ferent German tunes. The musical
weight is of lead, and weighs 1876
pounds Over ;I3o various pipes are
needed to play the tunes. The entire
clock weighs nearly 900 pounds.
The machinery is extremely compli-
Gated. The clock is over 100 years old.

rhe Jews on the ,ralabar Coast.

The house of the British resident at
the Court of Cochin stands on the Island
of Balghatty, in the midst of the lagoon.
and it is easy to visit from it both the
native and the British town. The most
curious thing in the former is the very
ancient Jewish settlement, which goes
back far beyond all authentic record,
and is in possession of deed engraved
on metal which may well be as old as
the Seventh century A. D.; much older,
that is, than any existing manuscript of
the Old Testament. How the Jews came
there is mystery, but it is perfectly
possible-nay, even probable-that there
were commercial dealings between the
ports at the head of the Red sea and the
Malabar coast at an immensely remote
period.

center between Calicut and Tellicherry,

It is said that the late Admiral Porter

Fl street full Of dogs, acquired in this
manner: Whenever young naval officer
wished to ingratiate himself with the ad-
miral ne would casually remark: ''Oh,
admiral, have valuable litter of pup
pies, and it would give me great pleas
nre if you would accept one."
The admiral was fully conscious of the
raison d'etre, and whenever basket ap-
peared with Lieutenant or Ensign So and
