Reported Arrest of Anthcnjf fCIcely Charged with Having: One of Herman Umberger's Pocket Books in His Possession PROVES A CANARD. How His Sons Rscolvsxl the) Nsws. OTHER RUMORS IN REGARD TO THE TRAGEDY. Schedule of th Monsy Stolen from Herman U mDsraer. The report of the arrait of Antlony Nicely, father of Ilia two young men now in to county jail, charged with the nsurder and robbery of Herman ITmberjsrr, of Jenner township, oa the evening of February J7ih, at hb home near Ligouier, as published in the Johnstown aud Pittsburgh pa(ier of Monday aud Tuesday baa proved lo be a ca nard aud without any foundation in ict, aa evidenced by a telegram received at thb of fice from Ligonier, Tuesday evening. The rumor of the arrest of Anthony Nicely, received Monday evening, created no excite ment in Somerset, where it has been known for some time that be was being shadowed by detectives. We are not in a position to Mate at thb ti me on w hat evidence the canard was based, but well authenticated rumors charge the senior Nicely with telling different sto ries to different persons in regard to matters connected with the arrest of bb sons, charg ed with the murder and robbery of Herman Urubrrgcr. There b no question bnl that on the morning following tbe arrest of the Nicely boys one of them gave a pocket hook to a man named Thomas, with s request that he give it to a brother-in-law of tlie prisoners named MeuoheT, to be delivered in turn by him to the prisoners" father. Thb coming to the ears of the officer Menoher was asked in regard to the pocketbook. He acknowledged that li- -arrived it and delivered it to the senior Niceiv, out claimed that it contained only a lew dollars. Men oher was cautioned to tell tbe truth, as be himself might get into trouble in regard to it. lld man Nicely was then visited when he denied all knowledge of the pocket book. On leaving Sir. Niceiey tbe officers were met by Menoher who said be bail decitled to tell all he knew in regard to the matter; that tlie pocket book contained il'Si and that be had delivered it to bb father-in-law and would return with the officers and confront that gentleman. On the return of the o trice rs to Nr. Niceiey s home he acknowledged that theporket book was in hb possession and gare it up to tbe representatives of the law. Tbe pocket book was taken to the borne of the I'mherger's for identification. When it was shown to Mrs. Cmherger siie was not positive that it was her late husband pocket book, although she regarded it as very much : like one of the twothat had been taken from him. When onr reporter visiled the county jail this, Tues-iay, morning and called Joseph Nicely to the small Six 10 opening in the prison door be thought he could detect some slight change in the prisoner's physiognomy since hb last visit. He wasn't greeted with the same child-like and bland smile as on former visits, and the little grey eyes tbat had formerly looked so confidingly into Lb wondered around tlie prison corridor w ith a nervous snappiahness tbat comes perhaps from close snd unaccustomed ontinetuent. A stubbly beard of three week growth cov ers his face which is becoming blanched and somewhat thinner with prison life. In reply to the question bow about this pocket book story, Joe, be replied " I've beard about that, and we can explain it when the time comes. No, tbe pocket book wasn't mine, I believe it was Dave'." At this juncture David Nicely arose from the breakfast table at which he was seated and said : After se were arrested and on onr way over here I gave my pocket book to Wm. Thomas who was, driving one of the teams, and told him to give it to Menoher, my brother-in-law, to hand to my woman or my father or to keep it himself until I call ed for it. It b a book that I bought in or 1Ss3 and have used it ever since; there was no patch on it of any kind, hut the clasp was broken. I don't exactly remem ber but I think there were either four or live pockets in Hie book. There was over $ioo in it when I gave it to Mr. Thomas, I know the exact amount aud where I got it and I want it back when thb trouble is over. I can prove by no less than fifty witm-ses that tlie pocket book I gave Mr. Thomas was mine." "There is an etlort being made," said Joe Nicely, "to hang," and sort of shuddering at the word, he changed it "to convict some one, and if they can't find the guilty parties they mean to take innocent one. I hope to get out of here Thursday ; the Sheriff l a good, kind man and treats us well, but I have work to do and would like to get at it. We are not afraid of the truth, but no one can tell what will happen when men swear to lies. If all tbe witnesses tell the truth we are not afraid. I don't see how they expect to identify the money unless Umberger's bad it marked. If the money taken was ia and tl.ol-u bill, there oughtn't to be any trouble iu catching ou to it." W ben onr reporter showed Joe Nicely a telegram announcing tbe si rest of hb father, he was thrown into a towering rage, and, striking tbe jail door with his clenched fist s blow that caused that venerable means of approach to creak on il bimj -s, exclaimed : "They can make men desperate if they keep on." snd started to prance up and down tlie jail corridor like a wild beast in a circus cage. "Dave," who is troubled with an sfBiclon of the heart, and is ander tlie care of a phy sician, was quite cool aud collected alien the Biesnge was read to him, and quietly aked if the reporter thought the old geutle man would be brought to the Somerset jail, savins, "of course be was arrested in regard to this pocket-book matter." By thi time "Joe" had reduced tbe tem perature of bb bkssl to conversational heat, and said: "Some body needs hanging bad. Isn't it a shame to drag more innocent peo ple into this ? Jesse James once said that he bad been tried and convicted of so many crimes when be was innocent that he was driven to desperation. I'll get out sortie day" and hb fists were again doubled up threat eningly. A tear could be seen trickling down the lace ot the "little man" who b charged with firing the allots thai caused the deal b of Herman Cmberger, as he meditaTed upon the arrest of his fat Iter. While the Hebalo has endeavored to give its readers all tbe particulars relating to tbe robbery and murder of Herman Cmherger, we have consbtently abstained from pub lishing such facts and rumors as in out judg ment were not well founded : and while we have been acquainted with many suspicions in regard to tbe tragedy which we ase sxat si liberty to divulge, not alone on srrount of the confidence rejsrsed in lis, but in our de sire to abstain from anything but tbe truth and without desiring to create prejudice against the men charged with committing Ihe awfql crime, we have only published those learned from re liable parties. One well verified rumor b that on the Sat urday following the ITmbergex murder, Da vid Vicely wa een quietly lea ring the la cred portal of tbe little Dunkard church, situate near the Nicely properties. Tbe church was carefully searched one day last week iu the hop that some of the Cmber ger plunder might be found hidden therein. Every nook and corner of the little church was examined ; tbe floor was removed, but nothing was brought to light A ten dollar biU that David Nicely paid to hb landlord for rent on tbe Monday follow ing tbe murder u regarded with suspicion by those who fcve seen it. Tbe m te b said to show do evidence of having been used ia trade for a long, long while, hot rather hv.ks like a bill that had been rsrefully laid awsy without having been C jiJed or creased in any way. orrataL ciiKrMLx or the rroLE AS 9 THE SKWaSD OffrJIl.

March 23, ISO. The recent election in New Hampshire on tbe Prohibition Amendment has thrown a wet blanket on the n movement in Pennsylva nia. It b now very doubtful if it will carry in ihb State. The New York Triba...t. com- ruentiug upon tlie recent election, ha the following : "New Hampshire makes tlie sixth State that ba refused during the las two years to adopt a Prohibition amendment. Mi n Iran gave a majority of 5,V15 against such an amendment. Texas one of iO,i;i, Tennessee 27 .'53. Oregon 7.0W5. and West Virginia 574. The case in New Hampshire is some what different, as two-thirds of all the votes cast are required to amend '.lie Constitution, But it b thought that the amendment has not only failed to secure these, but has not even succeeded iu winning a majority. Coup led with the fact that a law prohibiting the sale of liquor though not its manufacture, has been on tbe statute-book for A ears. this result will be interpreted as a decided sernaca tor rroiiibitton. The amen'iment 1 rirnposed to prevent also the rnana&r-tnTr of J liquors, which b now lawful, and which j renders the law pmhibiling the sale a dead ! letter in many place ; aud if, after an ex;te rience of this system covering a third of a : oriitnry, a majority vote could not be ob- tained for complete Prohibition, the infer- ' ence will be that Ihe policy has not grown in ' the favor of the people. Nor does the fact j that the vote was very liirhl not more than i one-half the vote in November help the j rase at all. Thb indicates popular indifTcr- ' ence among the clashes which might have j been expected to support the amendment ; for certainly its opponents worked actively. though quietly. j At tbe same time the news com s tbat the i Rhode Island Legislature has passed Ly a : large majority the measure to resubmit the Prohibition atrnendment lo the people. Tlrf j next General Assembly, however, must pass j upon it also, before the question can be laid before the people at tbe spring elections two years hence. Meai.'.iine the present system, ' or the lack of one, must continue. There is j a conflict of testimony, as tliere alwsys is. ss ; to the working of Ppjhihition in Rho4e is- ; land. Senator Chare, an a Me and conscieu- ; ti us Republican leader, uphold it warmly, i But tlie burden of the evidence seem to he 1 that the system b a downright failure, and that the situation in regard to the liqaor traf- fic is worse than it was before thearuend men I was adopted three years ago. All tbe signs go to show that the vote to resubmit j it to tlie people is in obedience to popular ' sentiment. It b found tbat thetraffic which ; ws formerly under vupervbion and oontnjl, j is now practically free. Liquors are brought inlo the State by thecarioad, the drag More sell without heeding the law at all. and the attempt to enforce it haying been praciiialiy abandoned, at least in the cities, because there b no public sentiment to sustain it, sa- ! loons Sourish. So far as we know, thestate- j mem of tlie Providence Jvunvil. that there' are places is that city where liquor is j openly sold, not including drug stores, etc., has never been siitTessfallv challenged. It could not well be. in fact, seeing that it was j supported by lists and diagrams. The degree of the failure of Prohibition in t Rbo-ie Island b probably explained by its j peculiarities of population. Its rural popu- j lot Ion is so small that it hardly counts in the ! balance aeainst that of the manufacturing cities and villages which crowd its modest ' territory. In these the failiiie of the law is positive, and the rural communities cannot ; make a strong enoui;h showing of success to ' offset it. There can be no doubt that in -many rural communities, with a pii'i'.ic sen timent to sustain it, Prohibition has made a good record. But when ihewltempt is made to apply it without discrimination over a ' whole State, the rule seems to be that thongh it may be enforced in the country, it will not ; be in the cities. The result b that in the latter theliquor trsfficb freed from restraint and the demoralizing spectacle b presented i of a law which b enforced in some localities and b a dead letter in others Additional interest wiil attach now to the role in Massachusetts next month, though a large majority against the amendment ' eems to be a foregone conclusion. On the ; wlw.de. Prohibition is losing ground in New England. Tbe drift of eients tliere would j o! onST "' a II 3"'!"' " " ,,'"'v seem to strencthen the .nnciples t.fl.ocal ' wiil outnnmher any other in the Stale Option and of High License as opposed to Mitch good b ing done. During the itasS general Prohibilion." ! year the orler lias c-mtritnite-l ) to aid This is mttiy traeof Pennsylvania, ai d I if the Amendment b not carried it is because I the peojJe are not reaily for it, and have r.o j faith iu the matter that it will prohibit the ' sale of intoxicating drinks. It b useless for the temperance people to raise the hue and cry that th Republicans of the State must carry tbe proposed amendment. Ail that Ihe Uepuhiksn party promised io do was to give the people a chance to vote upon the I Amendment, and this was all the temiwr- j ance people asked at tliat time. It b for tte people to say whether they want tlie Pro- I hibilion Aniendmen to carry or wbether ! it shall be defeated if either the RermhrKan I party or the IVmocratk- party can carry or i defeat it. It is purely the voice of tte pro- ' pie for or against it, and tte temperance neo- pie ronst make up their mind to abide by the result whatever it may be. Tbe House was prompt in meeting on Monday evening, and at once went to work. The effort on the pan of Mr. Israrrlon. of Philadelphia, to refer all legislation to s coia- mitteeof fifteen wa dtwat-tl, f;ef cooaidir- ; able discussion.

On Wednesday a number of bills passed finally. Among other was tbe bill placing bounty on foxes and minks, polecats baring been stricken exit. Tbelu'll ha now passed th House and has been sent to theSenale. where a similar bill has pass ed already. It b more tlian Hke'y that some bill Sxing a scalp boontyy 00 foxes, at least, will pass finally and become law. n Wednesday afternoon the whole ses sion was taken up discussing tbe County Commissioners Tax bill, which b very weeping in its nature and character.
