~ NE night, just as it was growing
1 dusk and the lengthening shad-
~ ows brought weird memories to
me, was disturbed by the rattling Of
a cab which stopped at the door with a
loud whoa" from the driver and pull
that brought the horse on its launches.
A man sprung out Of the cab, and,
hastily running up the steps, pulled
frantically at the door bell. Although
1t was nearly dark l had time to dis
tinguish the features of one Of the lead
ing lawyers of the city.
AS my servant showed him into the
front parlor, by the window of which 1
was sitting, he came forward, and,
grasping me by both hands, said: "Mr.
Martinot, we need no Introduction; we
both know each other professionally so
we'll that a personal acquaintance is
unnecessary"
l motioned him to a chair. 81 will
be seated" said he, "but only long
enough for you to get ready to go with
me. l want you to go to the Tombs.
Ny client. in whose behalf 1 have
called to see you, Is there. He is in the
shadow of the gallows. The moose IS
around his neck
1t is no unusual thing for me to be
called by professional man, and there
fore l gave no thought to the case as
we were rattling through the streets,
but the impatience Of the lawyer was
such that he would not allow the cab
man to slacken, even upon the slippery
pavements. We were nearly there be-
fore he mentioned the case. He seemed
unable to talk from nervousness. When
the shadow of the Tombs fell upon the
cab he turned to me and said:
81 can tell you only one thing about
the case; my client is innocent. That Is
absolute. In his confession to me he
could explain nothing; he only knows
that he is innocent"
With this brief prelude followed my
guide up the stairs leading to the
Tombs and into the somber gallery that
runs along murderers' row. In the last
cell, surrounded by not more than ten
square feet of space, sat my man. He
occupied a wooden chair, and when the
turnkey unlocked the door he gave nc
sign excepting to bury his head deeper
In his hands and groan.
At glance / saw that he was gen
tleman. He was a man in the prime Of
life, not over 40, well dressed, clean
shaven and handsome. This 1 saw III
spite of the dark gloom upon his coun
tenance, for never in my life had 1 seeI
such abject despair shown in the face
of human being.
AT the sound of the lawyers voice ht
lifted up his head, and at the mention
of my name a ray of hope seemed tt
come across his countenance. He rose
shook hands with US both, and beck
oned US to seats on his rude cot.
"Now," said the lawyer, leaning bach
and leaving us face to face together
"tell Mr.. Martinot everything that hap
pened that night and conceal nothing
from him. Tell him just as you have
told me-"

his genial spirit, fidelity ana industry had
made himself beloved and respected by
all who knew him. Though Mr.. Corbett
had never adopted the law as his eXclu-
sive profession, yet his business brought
him constantly into contact with the
members of the bar in and out of court,
and none took a more deeper and more
constant interest in the welfare Of the
bar or contributed more to the spirit of
fellowship and comraderv which has
characterized the bar of his county. In
the organization. development and main
tenance of the law and library associa-
tion he was always interested and active
and contributed much to the success of
the social meetings of its members.
Resolved, That the sympathy of the

Corbett's family in their affiiction and
that a copy of these resolutions be delv-
cred to the family and published IN the

THE NEW BOULEVARD.
Pittston and Wilkes Barre Celebrate
the Opening.

The new Pittston boulevard was for
merly opened yesterday. Mr.. Graham,
one of the prime movers in the road
making, sent out $50 invitations. and
the Publications was held over at the
pretty Mokwa Inn, Bear Creek where
luncheon was served at 1:30. Most of
the party came from Pittston, Wilkes

them enjoyed the drive over the su-
perb new road.
The Pittston boulevard breaks away
from the present Bear Creek and Will
kes-Barre boulevard about five miles
from Bear Creek, and thence it ex-
tends in easy grades to Yatesville. It
is about seven miles long and is well
banked, hard as pavement and packed
solidly red shale. 1t is eighteen feet
wide, like the Wilkes Barre boulevard,
and thus is added another length to
the magnificent mountain roads that
are now the boast of Wyoming Valley
people.
The new road will be kept I'D by
tolls. 1t was built by Albert Lewis men
and under Mr. Lewis personal SUPER
vision. That of itself is a guarantee Of
the excellence of the work.

SCHWENK OBJECTS.
Wants the Sewer Construction on the
Flats Stopped.


John Schwenk of South Washington
avenue, filed a bill in equity by his
attorney, /. II. Burns, yesterday in
Prothonotary Copeland's office for an
injunction to restrain the construction
of the South Wyoming avenue sewer
until he shall be secured for the dam
age that may be done to his property.
Mr. Schwenk alleges that he is the
owner of lot of land in the Eleventh
ward, bounded by the Lackawanna
river and lands of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company. The
property lies between Locust and Elm
streets, and would have been a part Of
Water street had that thoroughfare
been prolonged instead of stopping at
its present boundary. The line of the
sewer as laid out for the contractors
to follow goes right through this piece
of ground, Mr.. Schwenk declares, and
early this week the contractors tore
down his fence and entered on his
property, but despite this Illegal entry
the city, it is alleged, has made no ar
rangement or offer to secure him from
the damage or loss that will be sure to
follow such action. The court is asked
therefore, to use its restraining power
against the city and the contractors in
order to save the petitioner from the
loss that threatens him.
The land involved was formerly the
eastern channel of the Lackawanna
river, but Mr.. Schwenk claims he is it's,
possessOr, having had claim to it for
over tw enty-one years. He seems will
ing 10 oede the ground to the city IL
the authorities would see to it that
Water street, or now South Wyoming
avenue, would be run through the land
as was the original intention. The
question now involved came up when
the viewers We're considering the ques-
tion of damages and profits, and it was
thought that it was then settled until
yesterdays proceedings were begun.
