Mr.. Myers, this was not Mr.. Nesbitt's
frs, political speech, having according
to his statement, addressed an audience
previously in Richland district and an
other country district meeting. Mr..
Nesb:tt. while deficient in knowledge
OF fundamental truths Of the financial
question, and while erroneous in his
statements and conclusions, has good
voice and an elocutionary ease that per-
mi.ted his hearers TO give him respect
ful attention. The audience, which was
quite creditable at the beginning, grad
ually diminished owing TO the lack Of
enthusiasm, and after the conclusion of
Mr. NesbitJ's address, the meeting was
adjourned.

An Old Source of Trouble on the Island
Revived.
Yesterday afternoon the Council Com
mittee on Streets. Alleys and Grades was
called TO meet on South York street,
Island. for The purpose Of taking some
action regarding he irregular lot lines
on The east side of that street, south Of
Ohio street. The trouble was brough.
to the surface by the desire of the B P.
w. TO set curling on the east side Of the
street and an attempt 10 run line
showed that some Of the owners of abut-
ing lots were out on what should have
be5n the street a very considerable dis
lance.
This trouble really began abouJ twenty
years ago. when the southern extensions
of South Penn, Broadway and York
streets. south of Ohio, were made. Al
mat time the then City Engineer, OF
whoever run the street lines, made an
error which swung the streets 10 she
west. and all three of these stress have
ever since been crooked south Of alleT

trouble. both on Penn and Broadway,
years ago. over this matter. arising, as
in the present case. on York street, when
the city came 10 lay the curbs. All eff
forts to obtain a rsctification of ths
street lines were futile, and they remain
crooked to this day, and probably will
remain so throughout the future. AS q
result, some some Of the sidewalks along
these streets are six or seven feet wide
in one place and fifteen or more feet
at another. If the trouble on Souli
York street is adjusted. it will probably
only be by general consent of rla prop
erjy owners. The matter has been re-
ferred to the Engineer, Solicitor and Mr.

Still l spoke not, for my voice would
not come.
"Your majesty must assuredly be

chamber" said my lords voice. ALAS

your majesty a suitable train! Myself
as waiting gentleman and the good
doctor for usher, but for sewer and
page"
Good friend" broke in the king.
Il am too proud after this night that
you should serve me as a waiting
gentleman. Get you to your rest, we
beseech you. And bethink you. my
lord, we are now soldiers: we live In
tents; we have cast aside the ceremoni-
Gus trapping of a court. This lad here
will serve my turn as page; that Is,
he continued, "if he will consent, even
for a night. to exchange your service
for that Of an unhappy gentleman who
has no gold nor preferment to offer
him?" He rendered me his hand as
he spoke. and l set my lips to it, though
indeed, I found 1t icy cold. A few
broken words only could l say, but they
caused him to smile on me the kindlier.
''Then let us forward" said the king.
more cheerfully, turning once more to
his host. My lord had. by the help of
DIR. Bailey's arm. gotten to his knees.
His face, as could see. looked strange
and sad, as he strove to kiss his majes-
tvs hand. but the king prevented him.
''Old and tried servant" he said. and
the sweetness of his tone accounted at
once for the devotion of his friends;
between thou and us this night there
must be none of this. Age and good
deeds should kneel to God alone"
Ny lord was, as I could see plainly,
affected by this to the breaking point
of tears.
'Sire." he said, as Charles helped him
once more to his feet, II have not a
thought in my heart that tends not
to the services of my God and you!"
Upon this he waved us away, that we
might not behold him weep.
DR.. Bailey lighted the king In silence
to his chamber, which he had often
times occupied, the easement thereof
opening upon fair wide sweep of field
and park. In this prospect his majesty
had been wont to take much delight,
and twas a token of his heavy spirit
that he said no word of 1t on entering.
The king unbuckled his sword upon
table and flung himself silent, into
| an armchair, while the doctor, having
set down the waxen candle. respectful.
ly withdrew. l, as page. stretched my.
self before the arras till should be

SCRANTON MORNING. APRIL

nose at the blow, but was after them
In a trice. cursinx the slippery fioOr
where i slid and faltered. I was light
heeled. yet that vile rascal's feet were
winged. and l saw that soon must the
king come to grips with him. for he
gained RAPIDLY. Down the long. dark
gallery sped the king. his fair hair
streaming from his head: faster. and
growing close. followed the wild beast.
after them both the wilder I. screaming
for help as I ran. So sunken are men
in sleep just before the dawn that all
this passed unnoted, and twas many
seconds ere all Raglan began to hum
with an alarm.
At the end of the gallery were two
doors: the king whipped thro' one Of
them, up the stone stair. and so out on
the battlement, where he doubtless
looked to be seen of the men, of arms.
His pursuer was at his very heels;
put forth my best, sob broke in my
throat as / saw the man so close, fair
ly flew, never had ! run to such pur-
pose.
Just as I sprang into view on the
battlement the king doubled. turned.
and took his assailant by the wrist
He was no wrestler; there was his op-
ponent slashing the air with that ugly
knife. but was on them now, and beat
my fist on the mans face as I would
hammer stone. With the knife he cut
at me, laying open my shoulder. The
kings quick breathing in my ear fired
me. I stopped and pulled the mans
ankles while the king twisted the wrist
that held the knife. And all the time
We were pulling him to the edge of the
battlement l heard shouts and the
clang of mailed feet on the stone stairs,
just as with one wrench I toppled the
man into space. the knife making q
glittering arc as 1t fell. The murderer
gripped desperately at the stone edge,
failed. slipped and pitched head fore
most far below, where he lay still.
The blood on my face and shoulders
had dyed my hands and my eyes were
| dizzy. The castle walls wavered be-
fore me like a candle flame. and only
the kings arm kept me from falling.
When / awOke from my swoon I was
In my chamber and my Lord Charles
face bent over me. 1t was even-tide.
the king had ridden forth again in
haste. I did not know 1t was to his
death. At the head Of my bed and fall
ing to my pillow was broad blue rib
bon and sparkling jewel. my greatest
treasure. and the treasure Of my chill
dren, the kings own George" which he
had left for me. or my lords goodness
to me, here Is no fitting place to speak
that and my George" remain to me
but all else has passed into oblivion ot
what was known in the country side a.
