THE BELL-RINGERS OF SEVILLE.

Daring Young %spnniards Rid Upon
the swnying BELLS.
There is a curious custom told OF the
young Spaniards OF the city OF Seville.
On certain iete days the young men Of
the place have permission TO ring the
bells in the clock towers Of the cathedral.
They have an ingenious and original way
OF ringing them. While the regular bell
ringers repose these amateurs climb I'M
on 10 the bells, throw them forward
with all their force, and ride upon the
bells III their furiou. swinging to and fro.
We may imagine what an uproar is pro-
duced when al the bells OF a cathedral are
being banged about IN this curious man
ner. Any man who is able may exercise
his skill, and the duration OF the ringing
depend. upon the caprice or the strength
and patience OF TIE ringers.
The spectacle is very strange Of the
great bells swinging with one or two
or more bold ringers hanging from them
in any attitude which seems to them best
adapted 10 pushing them the furthest and
beating out the most noise.

tourist, "the first time / witnessed this
the clamor was "frightful. When Unlocked
up | thought at first some unfortunate
was entangled in the bell rope. But |
soon found It was Il matter OF sport.
Another ringer appeared, suspended in
the AIR, holding the bell by the ears or
the rim, or the wooden Frame work, and
following it in all its movements, some
times feet, sometimes head downward
Such are the proud bell-ringers OF

II Shows.
Sevillel

II SHOWS! 1t SHOWS! From out the sky
The feathered flakes, how fast they fy!
Like little birds that don't know why
They're on the chase from place to place.
While neither can the other trace,
1t SHOWS! 1t SHOWS! A merry play is DER
us in the air to-day.
AS dancers in an airy hall
That hasn't room to hold them all,
While some keep up and others fall,
The atom shift, then thick and swift
They drive along TO form the drift,
That waving up so dazzling bright
Is rising like a wall of light.
But now the wind comes whistling loud.
To snatch and watt il as a cloud
Or giant phantom in q shroud,
1t spreads, it curls, it mounts and whirls:
At length n mighty wing unfurls,
And then, nway!-but where, none knows.
Or ever will. 1t SHOWS! 1t SHOWS!
Tomorrow will the storm be done;
Then out will come the golden sun,
And we shall sec upon the run
Before his beams in sparkling streams
That now a curtain DER him seems.
And thus with life it ever goes!
IT'S shane and shine! Itsnows! 1t snowsi

LIVELY LABOR WAR.
Knights OF Labor at Brocktoa After tins
American Federation of Labor.

W "
BRooKroE, Mass, Jan. 23.-There il 9
prospect OF a lively labor war between the
Knights OF Labor and The organized shoe
makers, affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor.
The cause OF the trouble Is due to the
action Of District Assembly 30, Knights
OF Labor, in declaring unwarranted a boy
colt on a certain shoe.
The Lasters' Union, in December 1891,
ordered a strike in the Crawford shoe fac
tory, where members a. the knights, who
are known as handscWed workmen. are
also employed. The Knights were asked
10 support the ~lasters. and failed to do 40,
and the lasters declared a boycott, which
was endorsed by The American Federation
At its last convention.
The matter has not been settled, and
nothing new developed until recently,
when District Assembly 30 declared the
boycott unjustified, stating thai Tho hand
sewed workmen authorized such action.
Since then the matter has been fully
considered by local labor organizations,
and conclusions have been reached thS.
the Knights intended 10 fight tho Fedora.
tion and its branches, which include tina
shoemakers. The declaration OF tn
knights has aroused confederate intere,
among s~h0cNcserS here, who think an in.
justice has been dono their organization.

1t Is Responsible for the Montgomery
Street Trench.
There was much promiscuous swearing
on Montgomery street. between Warren
and Washington street, this morning.
and the various kinds Of blasphemy.
which WED in vividness with the sparks
emitted from the trolley wires. were
exceedingly picturesque. English, Irish,
Italian, German and Polish oaths all
mingled with the Yankee gol darn it in q
babel like confusion. The cause of all of
which was the deep trench which the
Consolidated Traction Company dug In
the street some days ago for the purpoee
of laying down track. 1t blocked the
progress of teams and at times made the
street impossible.
When today's rain had mingled to it's
hearts content with the earth which had
been thrown up in the gutter. 1t formed
an almost impossible barrier of mire, and
those who wished to cross the street had
to go to either end of the block. Mayor
Wanser asked the company to lay their
tracks In this section of the street
as rapidly as possible and
Mayor the company had its men at work
all Saturday night. They started in
again yesterday morning, when captain
Farrier swooped down upon the work
men and wanted to know IL they had
permit to WORK on Sunday.
The oreman exclaimed that he did
both. He thought that the req uest OF
the Mayor would be sufficient authority
for ti en- and they had neglected TO secure
o permit. His explanation did not suit
Captain Farrier. There was the law re-
qnfring a permit. and no permit, no
word. and he made the workiugmen
stop. II they had been permitted to go
on yesterday the ditch would have been
closed mp today aud the street passible.

STRIKERS MAD WORK.
Almost Wreck a Railroad and In
terfere With the Mail. E

CHICAGO, Oct. 23 1893 The Indiana
Midland Railway, running from Ander-
son to Waveland, sixty eight miles. with
not over one employe to each mile, is in
trouble from strike Of employees for nom
payment of wages. and Saturday night
its switches were spiked, cars chained up,
bridges and tool houses burned up, track
torn up and all the trains stopped.
For several weeks employees have been
demanding back wages, all to no effect
The section and shopmen began dropping
are all gone. The shops are closed.
Across the front door is chalked mo pay,
no work. The section men claim wages
for three months.
Trains are not running any father west
on the road than Lebanon. Not only is
the freight and passenger traffic blocked,
but the United States mails are stopped.
The mail sacks lie corded up in the depots.
The last surviving engine, from which
the fires had been pulled, was coupled to
a mail car and got as far as Max, Satur-
day. There the angry trainmen per
suaded" the engineer and firemen and
pushed the engine and mail car in on the
switch and spiked the switch securely at
each end. That was the last wheel turned
the section men were doing business.
The track through Montgomery county
has been torn up in many places. As to
who ripped up this track no one seems to
know. Early Sunday morning bridge
fifty feet long, a mile from Lad Jga, be-
longing to the road was burned. There
appears to have been no possibility for it
to have been fired accidentally. An adj
jacent tool house, the property of the
company, was burned Saturday night
with all the tools and handcars it con-
tanned. A small company bridge near
New Ross was burned. Other tool houses
and switch shanties are being torn down.
Nothing has been done toward replacing
the bridges or repairing the tracks, No
trains have run west Of Lebanon for two
days. and it is not likely any will move In
the early future. Leaders of the strikers
deny that they ordered any property de-
stroyed. They depreeate violence, but
they say they want cash.

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR HOME RULE.
CAPITALISTS WILL HELP.

Counsellor W. A. Lewis for the receiver Of the
Fenning Paper Company OF Hoboken asked
Chancellor McGill this morning to stay the
mortgagees of the company's property The
receiver asks that it be stayed because he has
received an offer from New York capitalists
who propose to put the concern on its feet If
the impending foreclosure suits brought by the
Hoboken Trust and Savings Bank be stayed.
Dir. Lewis argued that if the sale proceeds the
general creditors will suffer. Lawyer Besson
opposed the application and claimed that the
Court of Chancery has no jurisdiction in the
matter and that il would bea hard precedent to
estaolish. The Chancellor Immediately follow :
ing the case heard one precisely analogous in
the matter Of the Riverside Bridge aud from
Company, where similar point was raised by
Lawyer Stephenson. The latter counsel llor
insisted that there was no case iu New Jersey
wherein party having an equitable lien could
bring separate suit to the detriment Of the re-
naming creditors.
