HIN THE HEART OF THE
CLEAR SPRING.

The miners Of the Clear Spring We're
preparing to demand better wages,
under the leadership of a certain Joe
Blaine, and, after many meetings,
bloodshed was averted by his innu-
ence. At last union principles We're
discussed and established. The colliery
whistle once more rents the air with
its piercing sound, and the men return
to labor, blessing the God who sent
this hero to them.
The impoverished condition of the
poor families causes the young mans
heart to ache. What a comfort and
consolation to his weary heart to see
the men return to duty.
The labors of the first day were near
ing completion and Joseph Blaine
walked slowly to the head of the
plane. Here he remained for some
time in II thoughtful mood, gazing into
the darksome areas before him. a
loud report resounded through the
his reverie Several men gathered
forming him that mate was wounded
by a fall of black rock and necessarily
craved his presence.
so he unhestatingly entered the cham
ber and there PROSTATE on number
of coats lay a mutilated body. Look
carefully,reader, do you recognize that
countenance? No? Yet strange to
say we were once acquainted with him.
Come nearer Blaine-before l go-I
must straighten-affairs with you. O
God-this pain is-killing me! Long
ago-we visited the home--of Thomas
Desmond-during our stay-he was
brutally murdered" Here the speaker
paused and tried to turn on his side,
but the pains he endured prevented
this; he continued: "You were-con-
victed of the crime-and by some--un-
seen power-you were-liberated. How
can tell the rest? Sir George-and
went to the tavern and left it i'm no
proper condition.
We planned that you We're TO enter
the smoking room-where l lagoon
cealed: then was to--Shoot him down
and escape--so as to have you con-
victed. Afterward Sir George-seemed
to fear-his tool-and having-no fur
ther use of my seryice-he denounced
me--and FASTENED to repeat the threat.
How / suffered for that-crime no
tongue-can tell. The sin was greater
the punishment was greater. You
may return--denounce Sir George-as
the instigator of-Desmond's death and
have-these people--as witnesses to
my statement.
II crave thy forgiyeness-and en-
treat you-to--send priest-to come
at once"
Joe had knelt speechless all this time.
The surprise was great, but he an
swered:
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-06-15

Mutterins to himself, he soon
gained Greys side, invited him to a
tavern in the vicinity. Both partook
freely and on the return decided to
pursue the following course: Grey
was to enter the smoking room on
their return and remain concealed till
Desmond would enter, then he was to
rid his revolver of it's contents and in
the confusion that would ensue he
was to escape from the room.
In the meantime, Sir George was to
inform Neville that his presence was
desired in the smoking room. Re-
peating the message to Desmond, he
was to detain him till sure that Ne
vile was present; hut, entering the
garden they overheard Neville telling
servant to inform the host that he
would be pleased to have him join
him in the smoking room.
Jack turned into n side path and
gained his destination in time to see
Sir George and Neville briskly walk
ing up the gravel walk. Fearing to
detain the victim of their plot lest
Desmond sould enter before Neville.
Sir George excused himself, stating
that he must communicate with his
friends, as they might believe him
dead. Neville entered the smoking
room and prepared the speech that
was to unite or sever his connection
with Nellie Desmond. He did not oh
serve his host entering. but turned
when the report Of revolver echoed
through the house, Desmond threw
his hands above his head and sunk to
the floor unconscious.
The shrieks of the women and
stamping of feet called him to his
senses, and realizing his strange po-
sition he ran to the spot picked up
the smoking revolver that lay near
the PROSTATE body, Then he bent over
the still body of his unfortunate host,
seize the murderer" was the cry
that resounded through the ROOM The
cry was obeyed. Joseph Neville was
led to prison, his wrists bound with
handouts.

Three weeks later the trial was held
and as all evidence pointed to convic-

be hanged by the neck till dead. The
evidence was certainly convincing. The
servant who delivered the message to
Thomas Desmond stated the prisoners
