was born in Canada and lived there I'M
til 1868, when came down to Springfield
and went to work for l. p. Dickinson at
his market garden on Long Hill. My
mother was dead but my father was still

was drinking hard at that time and Clark
who never drank anything stronger than
beer, probably noticed the fact, and thought
to make fool of me. We scrapcd an ac-
quaintance, one evening, and finally, at his
suggestion, became his roommate. After
awhile he began to tell me that he received
small pay for his work at Wilknson's har-
ness shop, and that he must have money,
and was bound to dress better Then he
told me of robberies he had committed in

he said he changed it when he left Burling-
ton, VT, because officers were looking for
him for robberies committed there. He
would get me drunk, or else watch for an
opportunity when ! was on a spree to get
me to go round nights with him, and was
foolish enough to go with him.
Whenever store was robbed by us he
would always go in first and leave me out
side to do the watching. l never went in
with him in my life, and SO couldn't al
ways tell how much he got, but he used to
keep the lions share. The only robberies
was ever concerned in with him. were at
Colwell's market, market ON Worthing-
ton street, Hudson's grocery store, Pack
ards clothing house. and the waylaylng of
Augustine Burt. Whenever we went
out on job, which would usually take lis

Clark would rest the following day while

cuse for not going with him more, and told
him it was wearing upon me to be out
nights so much. At times | felt so badly
over what we were doing that would pre-
tend to be sick and refuse to go with him.
On one of these occasions, he came in late
with 500 which he said he had taken
from man whom he had knocked down
and 'gone through" ON Main street, and
anotheItime he brought in the same amount,
which he claimed he had taken from man
in saloon whom he had thrown down on

TIE SPANISH REPURLIC.

The Spaniards have proclaimed federal
republic. Whether they can stick to it or
not remains to be seen. They lack the
political education and experience of the
Americans. We had six hundred years
schooling before we commenced the work
of setting uD a,rennhlc. Onr fothn"r' So NC
land had fought themselves up to the point
of wrestling from the King the concession
of magma charta more than five hundred
years before we began the fight for absolute
independence, aad all that space was filled
in with progressive and enterprising ideas
upon the subject of liberty. Not so in
Spain. All the struggles of that country
have been made at the instigation of rulers,
and few against them until recently. The
people are ignorant and priest-ridden to an
extravagant extent. In the grand march
of nations towards the goal of universal
liberty the Spanish are three centuries be-
hind us. We fear they are to have many a
bitter struggle before them; wars, tumults,
revolutions, changes of dynasty; now a
republic, then monarchy, then a republic
again, but victory for the people in the
end for when nation in modern times
once gets liberty into its head, it stays.
May the Spanish republic prosper

COAL MINE EXPLOSION.
Ten Bodies Taken Out.

In the Henry Clay colllery, near Shame
kin, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday. Conrad
Drumheser, the inside boss, went into an
old working on the water level, when an
explosion Immediately followed, caused it is
thought, by fire damp being fired, which
communicated with the airways from the
water level into the slope below where the
men worked. Miners in this section of the
coal region, not being accustomed to black
damp, thought that 1t was blasting powder
that had been set on fire. They remained
in the slope until almost overcome with
black damp, and then starting to come up,
met the body of the after damp, and fell
senseess and smothering. The stronger
men managed to. get out, however, and
gave the alarm to the others who followed,
but on reaching the top of the slope they
fell back, being completely overcome.
John Hays, outside boss, on hearing the
alarm Immediately went to the rescue
After proceeding about 500 yards he fell,
face downward, into a pool of water, and
was drowned. Enoch Magcnski was found
drowned by his side. Eight men were
brought out dead There was no caving in
of the mine, as at first supposed, and there
was no faalt in the ventilation The ac-
cident resulted from old gas exploding in a
disuscd working.
Up to 10 p. M. ten dead bodies have been
taken out. Many of the men from the sur
rounding mines came to render assistance.
The excitement is intensc-wives and
children rushing to the scene of the disaster,
and finding their husbands and brothers
either dead or gasping for breath, while
others were eagerly watching the arrivals
of friends on the slope wagons from below.
There were fifty men in the slope at the
time of the explosion, thirty-tve of whom
are known to have escaped, and will re

Why does not the village buy up the

,Iemn their own folly in not buying out the

their own gas works. They have usually
to complain of the quality of gas and the
rascally meters, and the unconscionable
prices Not that villages do; but it may
come to that when we all grow hoary-hcad-
ell in the ways of the wicked world. To

A cruel story is told by the Tr

A cruel story is told by the Troy Press
concerning the plugging of frog into tree
forty years ago and its being cut out alive
recently. We suppress the name of the
monster who perpetrated this horror out of
regard for his family. The poor frogs
have been the victims of many hcartess
experiments of the kind. Some of these
were in England and one minister disgrace
ed his cloth by emaciating and killing the
harmless creatures by the slow torture of
this close confinement. People do not
consider how they would like it Themselves
though we can all shudder at the idea of
coming to life in coffin out of reach of
human aid, there to die after vain struggles
to cry out and to dig through the encasing
wood and six feet of superintendent earth.
The Press doubts and we disbelieve the
frog story, but as to the taste of the man
who could boast of such an achievement
we have our opinion.
