A DYING STATEMENT
Made and Signed by DaTe Steely on
the Umbenjer Homicide.
ADMITS EOBBEKY.DENIES MURDER.
SI jsterions Blares Repeatedly Discovered in
an Office.
A QUEER ELECTION BET OF A COFFIN
Somekset, April 9. Kct. C.VT. Granger,
the spiritual adviser of the executed Xicely
brothers, made public to-day tbe text of a
confession sijned by Dave Uicely before bis
death. It is believed also, that Joe Nicely
admitted his puilt before being executed,
hut if he did so, the public will not learn
anything about it for several days yet. The
following is Dave's confession in lull:
I. David Nicely, male concerning the murder
of Herman Umbergcr, for which I am con
ncted and sentenced to be banged April 2,
1SS1, the following statement: I was present
when Herman Umberger was murdered. 1
left my borne about 1 o'clock on February 27,
1SS0. to go to some place in Somerset county
Inr the purpose of robbery, but not murder,
and did not know who was to be robbed, not
learning Mr. Umbereer's name until! well along
on the road. Tne murder took place about
1 o'clock in the evening I arrived at
liomc about 1 or 2 o'2locl; the next
jnorninc I had a pistol and tired
into the celling, bnt ii"t with the
lutentton of hitting Mr. Umbenjer. nor
lul any shot f lircJ hit him. 1 intended only
to frighten bim. As to my evidence in court,
j-artwas true and nart as not. My evidence
in court was nottrnein that I said I was not
preent at Herman Umbercer's murder, when
J was. The pocketbook produced in court as
mine was not the one which I pave to Will
Thomas as I tcstiKed in court. It was bogus.
Hamilton Smith's testimony in the case acaiust
r.ie afals(Mn this. I was not in Lijonier on
.February 27. 1SS9, as he swore. Lew Beener
and Ki McCracLen did not meet me nu the
nik- as tber stated in court. Charles Vaneer
sind Lewis Vaneer, bis son, could not have rec
cgttzed me where their testimony says they
lid on the Pitisburg and Philadelphia pike,
February 27, lbS9. I make these statemeuts in
view of approachmc execution, in the fear of
God, truthlull. to C V Granger, mv nirirnal
advispr, D. C Nicely.
A later dispatch sav- Joe also made a con
lotion to Kev. Mr. Bea), who was also pledeed
not to reveal it unti' lie had delivered certain
messages to certain persons, and which will
come to light shortly. There seems now to be
nu question bn' what the Nicely bojs belonged
Joa well-orcanized cajgot robbers, who held
life of but small value.

SCKAN-iox. April S. During the past few
weeks the insurance offices of r. H. Shatter
lave beeii lue times entered by burglars, the
papers and books overhauled and damaged, the
safe cracked, money taken therefrom and the
desks mutilated, borne of these thefts have oc
curred i'i broad UatliKUt, whilo Mr. Shatter
and Ins office force were at dinner. The police
tried in vain to solve the in j stery.
At 5-15 o'clock last evening, while Mr.
Sbafter and his employees were working on
their books, a firo suddenly blazed up in the
drawer of a desk which had not been opened
during the day, and many valuable papers were
destrojed. To-day sii. more of these mysteri
ous files broke out 111 the oflice. the first oc
enned at s Id A. M.. the next at 10. the next at
18-30. and .lie next it 11:20. There were no
more until 1.3u m the afternoon, when the
drawer of an office table was found to be
ablaze. In 20 minutes later, a box of blotters
was seen to be on firo. All ot these blazes were
extmcuisned without difficulty. During the
greater part of the day Mr. Shatter sat about
his office surrounded with buckets of water
and prepared for any emergency. Hundreds
liave vi-ited tbe apartments to note the damage
caued by tbe unaccountable tires. The theory
of tbe authorities is that some fiendish and
incenious enemy of Mr. Shatter has, with the
aid of chemicals, adopted this mode ot perse
cuting him.

all widths and all-orers, the balance of this
season's stock of one of the finest impoiters
of embroidery in New York, bought at less
than half the cost of importation. We haye
placed tbe entire lot for sale at prices so
very cheap that the goods will undoubtedly
move out rapidly; prices range from 25c up
to $1 50 a yard. Special attention is called
to one special design of an Edging and an
Inserting to match at 27c a yard; the same
pattern has been selling right along at 50c a
yard. In the all-over Embroideries there
are five patterns, two of them 23 inches
wide at 51 a yard, worth J2 60 a yard; 3 pat
terns, 45 inches wide at $1 CO a yard, worth
54 50 a yard. These are great bargains,
and if you want Embroideries for any pur
pose it will pay you to come soon.
The Corset Department adjoins the Em
broidery and White Goods Department,
and after yon are tbrough looking at tbe
Embroideries take a look at oar new Im
proved Sonetta Corset, a hand-made corset
in white, drab and black; in white and drab
at 75c, and white, drab and black at $1; this
is withont donbt the best corset that has
ever been placed on tbe market at these
prices. Also full lines of the better grades
of goods in all the well-known French makes.

Every Day Adds Another Link

that a Certain Concern in This City Has Fully Made Up Its
Mind to Adopt the Shakesperian Method of Assuming
Virtues Which it Does Not Have.
ONE of the easiest things in the world, if you desire to make an ex
hibition of apparent strength, is to put up a man of straw and then pro
ceed to knock him down. While you are at it make a great deal of
noise, so as to divert attention.
NOW TO APPIY THISs
A day or so ago we advertised a superior article in a Laundried
Shirt at 99 cents, mentioning the fact that they were specially made for
us by the well-known makers of the "Star" Shirt.

simply because he can draw a load
WE SELL QUALITY, NOT PRICE.
A suit of clothes may be all wool for Sio and all wool for $30, but
that don't make the $10 suit equal to the $30 one. It's just the same
with a shirt. And the firm that put forth this seemingly tempting bait
knows this perfectly well. It is simply an attempt to get a reputation
for cheap selling at no cost to themselves.
Of course in an attempt to make the resemblance complete they" did
not hesitate to copy our illustration; even they know where to come
when they want a good article.
We still continue to sell this special brand of shirts at 99c, and
know that there is nothing like them in the market. When you see an
announcement in print with Gusky's name attached, you can bet your life
it's true.

in the Long Chain of Evidence
A few hours afterward out comes
the "certain concern" mentioned
above with an announcement that
it "has for many moons sold the
same identical 'Star' Shirts for 85
cents." The word "moons" is most
appropriate, for there's more moon
shine in the statement than anything
else. Of course they can sell a "Star"
Shirt, or a shirt made by the same
firm, at 85 cents, and this is all that
certain qualities of this make of
shirt is worth. Neither the firm re
ferred to nor any other can be sell
ing the shirt which we advertised,
for the simple reason that they were
made to our order.especially for us,
and of a quality which renders them
exceedingly cheap at the price
named.
The "Star" Shirts advertised at
85 cents no more resemble our3
