WlLEESB ARE, March "A remark
able conspiracy case has just come to
lighl in the town of Nanticoke. In that
town there lived until six months ago
Clara Neuberger, young lady highly
spoken of and having many friends.
Miss Neuburger had many admirers,
among whom were Alfred Nagle, a
young Austrian employed in a clothing
store. and Michael SchWarz. Nagle had
81 couple Of thousand doIlIrs laid away
III bank. He was industrious and
thrifty. On the other hand his rival,
SchWarz, was a worthless fellow with
out penny. Yet, despite these feat
urcs. he was the favorite for the young
womau's hand. Nagle realized this,
and made every attempt to overthrow
him i'm the affections Of Miss Ncuburger,
but without avail He then became
desperate and app aled to SWartz to let
him have the giTl for his wife, but
Schwarz wouldn't listen to any such
proposition,
HE TRIED BRIBERY.
As Il last resort Nagle offered his sue
cesstu rival a bride. He would give
linn $50 if he would give up the girl.
SchWarz claimed TO be mSulted, and
one Sunday evening, meeting Nagle,
gave him 4 sound thraShing. But
Maggie was not to be driven from the
field yet. BY the aid of 4 friend Schwarz
was approached again. This time he
WAS offered 81, 900 if he would renounce
all claims to the girl and move out of
town. AT first Schwarz wouldn't hear
Of il, but two days after he called upon
the friend of Nagle and said he was
ready to take he money. He loved the
girl dearly. and she loved him, but he
was moor, work was slack and he must
have money. NagIe would rot ply
oyer the money until he had first seen
Miss Neuburger. The latter thought it
would bc best if SChWarZ had $1,000
rather than wife. On the strength Of
this hint Nagle paid over to SchWarz
$1,000, taking his receipt for the same.
In the contract there was also promise
that SchNarz should leave town imme-
diatCV upon the payment Of the money.
This he did, taking his departure the I'd
OF last September.
THE FIELD NOW CLEAR.
Nagic now CONGRATULATED himself
upon having the field all to himself.
He laid eye to Miss Neuburger's heart
eaTncS tIy. and told his friends that the
wedding day wouldn't be far off. Early
in October, however, Nagle had the
misfortune to fall and break his leg.
He was confined to the house until the
middle of last month. In the mean
time ne suffered a double affection.
Miss Ncuburger TOOK sick and died So
Aagle was ted to believe. He wanted
Ia, to- l,,,t
SCiauS forbade him to leave the house.
His sister Carolina went to the Neu-
burger household. and says she saw the
girl laid out in the coffin iii the front
room. She placed Il wreath of roses,
HE gift OF her brother, on the caSket
She then took her departure. That
night the casket was closed, and al
I, ged to have been shipped to Winona,
where some OF the Neuburgcr family
were buried. Nobody now re-
members having seen hearse
about the place, but at that time
everybody believed. of course, that a
funeral had actually taken place. The
NCuburgGr girl resided with her aunt,
and the neighbOrS were all P0landerS
and Uungariaus. Nagle grieyed very
hard over the death Of his sweetheart.
and his companions noticed that he
wasn't the same man as of yOre. 1t
seemed as though he would never re-
cover from the shock.
SURPRISING INTELLIGENCE.
About 4 week ago, however, he was
thundprstruCk when he learned that
Miss Neubnrger had not died, but was
still in the land of the living. She had
been seen in Philadelphia in comp my
with SchWarZ and her aunt The man
VITO saw her, a Nantcokean himself,
was positive that his eyes had not de-
rpiVed him. All doubts, however. were
set aside yesterday when john Lenoke,
a Polish butcher, returned from trip
to Philadelphia. He said he had talked
to SchWarz. He was married to tho
Ncuburger girl and they were living
comfortably in the Quaker City.
SchWarZ said he was not sorry for
Nagle. The latter had used every
means. fair ana foul, to win the girl
away from him. With his money he
thought he could do everything. His
presence finally became a nuisance to
thc girl, ana TO get rid of him she en-
tered into a conspiracy with SChWarZ by
which the latter was to take the money
S0aS to enable him 10 90 to hOusekeep-
ing. The original plan was for the girl
To leave town secretly. but when Nagle
met with his accident she thought of

She rugged up Il coffin of rough boards
and covered II with black cloth NagIe's
sister was then invited to call and see
the corpse. When the visitor departed
Miss Ncuburger jumped out of the
raSlyet, and fled TO meet her lover, who
was waiting for her at White Haven
junction. Nagle is not reconciled to
the condition of things. He has brought
suit to recover his $1,000 A constable
