Ham. U. McGrirT. third son of Mr-. A. E. Plsei, died very unexpectedly at h:s home in this borough, about dusk Friday even ing iu his thirtieth yeir. Ha was both pnnter and etgar maker by trade, hsving learned the former in this 021-. and was one of the most thorough and practical journeymen erer graduated from the IIxi- au. His mental qualifications were of a superior order, and. combined with excep tional good taste, made him a printer of such ability as is rarely fxind in a conn try orfije. The lat work he did in this otSce was on Tuesday night last, when be "set up" th floor plan of the county jail, published in our last issue. He was not well at the time, but none of his fellow workmen ap prehended that there was anything serious the matter with him, as he kept on at his work throughout the entire night and until at.er 9 o'clock the next morning. The an nouncement of his death came to them as a shock and was received with tinore sorrow.

MctjrltT ready wit and tender, sympathetic nature woo him the friendship of all our townspeople. and his death has occasioned the greatest sorrow. Notes From the) County Ja I. Thetragdy at the county j-ail Itst Sitnr- day niht a week has not been permitted to pass from ro'i'c view. Doxmis of people visit the ja a every day anxioua to see the crippled men and to examine the ja:l from bich they escaped. Very few persons have been permitted to sse the Sicely boys, but ail who have looked upon their deathly pale faces have turned away with expression of sorrow for their helples condition. Taeir father and sister, who had come from their home, near Ligoaier, Friday morning, were permitted to spend an hoar ia their cells be foie returning home the following day. Joe Xicely is much more serionsly hurt than bis brother and has suffered intensely ever since the rope broke with him while sliding down the rear wall of the jail. Hi foot is very painful, several of the smaller bines being broken and the entire foot fro xen. He complained a great deal during the week, but is resting comfortably at this tine. Pave Xicely would be able to walk about his cell were it not for bis broken foot Hi eurTers very little pain and teems in a much better frame of mind than his brother, wbo during the twenty months of their confine ment in jail has always done the talking for both. The jail authorities thought for several days that Joe was going to try to work the insar.ity racket, but notwithstanding his manifest suffering his ravings elicited no at tention from the keepers and he soon relaxed into his old time 'ray ortalktng and laugh ing. He remarked Monday evening just tfter tbe jail physician had dres"d his wounds that he could never have believed that hurts such as he had received could heal so rapidly. When told cf Queer's death be only remarked "poor old fellow, it t too bad." Alex Q ieer died about nine o'clock Wed nesday night in the hospital ward of th jail. He never regained consci.Mtir.ess, ailer Sun day morning and apparently passed away without a sirusij'e. Queer was about W years of age ani had been lame almost all his life. Tbe Common weal, b htda very strong ease ajainst him and there is but little doubt that had he Lved to be tried he would have been convicted of arson and sentenced to a long term of yearsio tbe penitentiary. tieer was a man as qieer as bis name implies. Most of his days were spent ia tbe woods and he enjoyed quite a repitation as a ban ter and trapper. He was also distinguished for several other characteristics of aa un savory chararter. His death, although ex pected for several days sent a thrill of horror through those wbi recalled the manner in which it eame about Queer's body was given in charge of his too wbo taw that it was properly interred in a burying grocuu in Brothersvalley township. The county . r . r ' authorities bore tne expense oi ut wnt., but they will likely be reimbarsed from the estate of the dead man. The Xicely boys continue to occupy ad- joining ceua. w" cr mv. wu. - takes place, between them and wnen tuey converse at ail it ia not in the friendly tone that character! led their coo venations before the auempl at escape. Dave seems very bitter at Joe for the carelessness soowa by him in tying the rope after all their plans bad worked so smoothly op to that time, and appears to have r BP tope of obtaining another opportunity to eloditoe keepers of the jail. AH of the stories ia circalatiao ia rerard to tbe critical condition of the Xicely boys are mere boab. They are both braised and sore bat will be as well as ever ia a few weekt f- ttme. It is understood tbat their attorneys wiil make another appeal before the Pardon Board for a re bearing, but there is little probability that their appeal erfl be granted. Candy!

If ye then be risen with Christ seek those -thin; wbica are above" The termoo thronjhoat was an exhortation to more earnest living to wotk for to j p iao for to talk about as one talks about his buisnesa. We talk about that ia which we are most interested. "Behold aa Israelite indeed in whom is no guile" John 1 :4T formed the basis of the evenings discourse. Xapoieon, in standi 3g before the Pyra mids with his soldiers, said: "Forty cen- taries are looking dowa npoo ns.' We are standing in tbe presence of twen ty centuries of Christian influence. All the opposition that could bebrocghl to bear azai est it has been in vain. Never before has there been a class of men and women that have had tbe servi- ge whtch belong to yoa aaa to me. "Wbeotboti wast coder the Cf tree I taw thee." We are oa nview. Do yea sapoose that Josua the Christ has His eye leas upon you. than He bad upon thia nxii ? - ' M.

The Hie.u.0 last week foreiahed County Superintendent Berkey with the handsomest " folder " turned out of its job room fw many a day. It cocfaind tbe program for the thirty-fonrtla annual teasicn f the Som erset County Teachers' Institute, and from which we make few txtratt. A teens tte iastructoraere : Dr. D. J. Waller. Jr, State Sapericteiid eot ; Prof. George E. Utile. Washington. D. C; Dr. Z. X. Snyder, Principal Indiana State Norma! School ; Prof. M. G. Brum basgh, Huntingdon. Pa. ; Dr. T. B. Xoas, Principal California. State XormaJ School : Pnat 3. C. Scbeaucker. Indiana Stale Xor snaiScbool ; Prof. J. D. Meet, Mfjertdale, Somerset Co , Pa. Prof. S. 0. Smith, of Ada, 0, will have charge of the music, and Mm M. Amelia Fee, of ConaeUavilie, Pa., will be tbe soloist. Thia eharroing young lady will be remem bered with pleasure by ali who attended last year's Institute, aad is tare to receive aa en thusiastic welcome. Topical talks will be delivered during tbe week by X. a Keplogie. Grant Kendall, A. J. Johasoo, J. S. Fuitea, G. it. Baker, H. F. Yost, J. C Barroa. Papers will be read by iiiss Ella Voge?, Miss Lou A. Moore, Miss Ida H-ItoU. Miss Flora B. Turner. . .- Toe following qtsettaooa will be taken up I for discussion : 1. A graded coarse of study for country schools.'' 2. " The spelling book, ami how to ore it" 3. " Is district supervision desirable ! 4. " Advantages and disadvantages of free text-books." 5. What should be the basis for the gra ding of teachers' salaries T 6. Elements of a teacher's success.' . 7. " Is the copy-book a neceseityt a con venience, or a nuisance ?" Tbe directors of the county will meet with the teachers oa Tuesday afternoon, since that is tbe only day State Supt. Waller can meet with them. The director s con vrntior will meet in tbe Lutheran church Wednesday morning. Superintendent Berkey Las displayed his usual good judgment in providing - taking' attractions for ibe svtcing entertainments. Wednesday evening Mrs. Mary A Liver more wiil deliver ose of her most popular lectures, " A Dream cf To-morrow." Super intendent Berkey has frequently been im portuned to secure this talented womaa to appear before a Somerset county audience, and has only snccteded after repeated at tempts to gain her consent. Rev. Joseph Cook says : Mrs. Livermore is tbe 1'ieen of lecturers a lady whose eloquence Las had a larger publie recognition (ban that of any other woman ia ancient or modern times." " A Chapter ia the History of Liberty " will be the subject of Tuesday evening's lec ture, and Dr. F. W. Ilunsaalos, of Chicago, will be tbe orator. Col. Bain, whose judg ment will go a gnat way towards influenc ing the pinions of many of our peoi''e says : I would go farther to hear Dr. fiun saaius than any other living aaaa. He is, ia my judgtnent, the greatest lecturer of this age." The Doctor has left a moet ex cellent reputation wherever he ha been beard, and has received tbe moet f! altering press notices. Wednesday evening Rev. J. M. Buckley, D. D-, will lecture on " Dollars and Sense. " Dr. Buckley has been knowa to hundreds of Somerset county peopie for years, through his connection with a prominent church pa per, while his flame as a public speaker has long been firmly established. The " Lotus Glee Oab." from Boston town will famish tbe entertainment Thurs day evening, and we are confident ail who bave the pieasnre of listening to this cele brated organization will thank Superintend ent Berkey for having brought them here. Tbe club comprises a male quartette, accom panist, aad Miss M ianie Marshall, elocution ist. The Lotus Glee Club proved itself to be second to no quartette tbat has been beard in Clfca in many years, and Miss Marshall found high favor with the Urge audience from tbe outset. She ia a reader of excep tional ability, and possessing an attractive presence and unusal ease and grace on tbe platform, it is no wonder that she was repeatedly and enthusiastically encored.

E. B. CcrraoTH. Pity For the Nicely s. i The man must have a callous heart indeed j rbo does not pity the Nicely bojs. True, j his saerings were only momenta.ry end t physical, while the Nicelys have endured I the pang of remorse, the terror of aa ign- j minions death hanging over them, the eon- ; finement in a close ceil the very revt rse of i the lite-they had led the great stock at- ! tending the escape and recapture a year ago, j the hope of favorable action by tbe Tardea '. Board dispelled, the escape again, their man- gled bodies dragged by sheer will owerto ' barns, there to remain under the hay one i for thirty-six tours, the other for forty-four ' hours cowl, huDgrr, acd ttirsty, with brok- ea bones and in eneenerjoB terrible prys- kal agony added to their great mental i torture, while they could hear the tramp of people huaung them dowa w;Lh noes, s;xx- j guns, revolvers, knives, and ciuts tiercer and more vindictive than if they had been I panthers or hyecar. The escape and capture of Wilkes Booth, i the murderer of Abraham Lincoln, were scarcely more sensaxioaaL But Booth was armed, and when the bam in which, in bis : maimed condition, he bad taken reTuge. was ! fired, he at least bail a gun lo make a last ! dtfecse. The .ce!ys had not Ling, and that f tbey should have held out so long in their maimed aad helpless condition ia the great wonder. But hucger and paio will coo-ier the stouts st. They doubt Less both endured their tafferingj until tbey came to tbe point where fur a last cup of wa er er crust of bread and a cbaace te warm themselves they would bave gone contentedly to tbeir death on the galioaa. A condition more frightful to contemplate car not be imagined, and for it the law's delay ia largely respon sible.. In their present shape they deserve pity, as we have already aid, tnd will re- cetve it from all hearts that can feel for human suffering. Jh'ut Trntxe.
