Jn M'-EI.T SHOT TO k ILL
"I)jyou think Joe meant to kill you?"
sLfi a I1i:raUj scribe of tiie aounded oiri-
awey from my heart, his every effort was
! directeii toward getting a shot at a vital
I part. He kepi watchimr his revolver moth
more closely titan he did me, and t'ien,when
be was told where the buiiets had struck me
he said at once that it wouldn't kiil me;
that it was loo low; howing;hat be had
full knowledge of wliere to shoo! to kill.
The instant u covered my heart, he
pulled the trigger. The second shot was not
find till eight or ten seconds afterward,
when he got another crack at the same spot.
That he was !iooting to kill, and what lie
was aiming at, i shown by the holes ia my
side. They are scarcely half an inch apart,
and if it hal not been for my pas-lxxik, I
wt ulJ M,t be taikaig to you to-day."

For a long time I have carried this book
in my iq it left test pocket. The first, bul

course, or it Would have gone straight in,
and probably struck my heart."'
The book was produced and showed clear
ly that the bullet had been slightly tamed
in a downward direction by coming in con
tact with it. A clean hole was made through
the top cover and the first few pages, while
ooly the outride edges of the other pages,
and the lower cover was cut by the bullet.

l'jon being assured that his name would
not be mentioned in connection with the
n;!air, he said : ""We would have gone the
night btfore the day the hole was diecovered
in the wall, if it hadu t ttreii for Joe. We
had everything ready, but Joe sa:d ' he'd

was lo cover Milt. We expected that Liiey
would both throw tip their, kalian, as we
would have the call ou them, and we would
nmrcii ttieiu into a cell ud lock tbem up.
We knew that the Shenfl s Wmchester, aud
likely several revolvers could be secured in
the room adjoining the ja.t, and we expected
to take Ihem before leaving. We knew just
w here the Winchester was kept. When the
shooting took pia..-e in tlte hail we didn't
know who was doing it. so were afraid to go
out. We didn't know bat what Miit dad

that we selected the time for the break we
d.d. we knew that Kichardson was not g-tn-eraily

thesiieritf was away trora home. We thought
we couid scare M.lt, but we were mistaken
in our man. He had more sand than we
gave him credit with having."

Ever since their attempt to escape, the
Nicely brothers Iiave been confined, ia sejw
ra;e celU. be vera! guards do duty inside
Iiave slept bct htne. At every unusual
sound during tiie eight they become greatly
frightened, and imagine that a Iruching
party is about toatta k thejail. About two
o'clock Tuessiay morning the report of sev
eral gun shots were heard north of the jail,
and the condemns! men at once coucluded
that Ihe much dn-ad J lynching ;rty was
coming. They ended to the watchman and
begged pi''Usiy for prelection, aud pleaded
thai they 'ueprottrted from the party who
we;-e coming to lake them out and baa;
them. Joe was the moat abject coward of
the two-, and he was a pitiful object, indeed,

While Joe Nicely says the revolvers were
handed ia at one of the side windows Son-
day evtniii- lure and several tf the other
Iiisouers say tfary had luen iu lit abont
four weeks some time before the hole was
dug in the wall. The county authorities
have r.ifered no reward, and have made no
effort to discover who furnished the prison
ers with the guns and tools. Other parties,
however, have been at woik in the matter
and it is probable that several arrests wiil
be made ere another week has elapsed.
Tfcreeof the revolver! were made by Smith
A Wesson, and the other was Barrington
A Bicbardsoa. They were all new. Each
revolver made by Smith A Wesson is num
bered, and record is kept by the manufac
turers, by number, of every weapon sold,
and to whom. The wholesaler that the
manufacturer selis to does the same thing in
turn. It is already ck finitely known where
the Bamngtoo was purchased, and by
whom, and it ia thought thai in this way
the Smith A Wesson' a can be easily traced.
The parties that furnished the revolvers aiso
furnished the tools. That Joe Nicely is ly
ing, and that the revolver! came into the
prison at the same time the tools did, is
apparent. One thinjt is certain, every pos
sible effort should be mado to hunt down
and punish the scoundrel who furnished
them.

It is now nitnojt certain that the escape

and that something transpired thai caused a
change of program. The report was in cir
culation all over the county Sunday thai the
Nkelys had escaped, and the Ureensburg
iy of Saturckiy, the licit, contained the
following :
" A repcri reached here this afternoon
that the. Nicely buys, uuder sentence of

A SfSPKIOS THAT THE XrBtiXKXKs EoBIltn
t teVER BISK IX.
The Pittsburg i'o.t has this information
about the Nicelyst William Bankin. who
lives on the farm in Ugonier Valley, which
adjoins that of the father of the Nicely
brothers, who are to be hong for murder and
who esca;ied from the Somerset jail, was re
cently roblted of notes, bonds, mortgages
and otlier valuable papers to the value of
$1 l.UoO and a sum of money. It coot the old
gentleman T'X) to get the stolen papers du
plicated. Of late it has been alleged that the Nicely
boys took the papers, A man called on Mr.
Bankia after the Nicelys were arrested for
murder and said he could get tire japers for
tlm. This was refused. Circumstances led
to the belief that the men awaiting death
broke in Bankiu's house and took the pa
pers. The father of the murderer is a very re
spectable old gentleman. Tiie boys were
what could be termed good, religions men.
One of them led a church choir. lieports
from the Somerset jail state that prior to the
shooting of the turnkey and esca they
spent the time acting as court and judge try
ing, condemning aud executing a d9mmy
in their cell.
AS MIGHT HAVE BEEN EXPECT
ED. From the Pittsburgh Times.
TIk escape of two murderers from the
Somerset jail Momlay is one of those things
which might almost have been described in
advance, and located in any one of half a
dozen neighboring counties where murder
ers happen to be awaiting death. The con
ditions of as escape already exist in old and
insecure jails and careless regulations.
It is bnt a short time since a jail delivery
at Somerset was prevented by the merest ac
cident of an officer showing some visitors
into an empty ceti, and discovering a hole
almost through the wail. Il is a shorter
time since Beaver county lost a prisoner un
der ridiculous circumstances. Yesterday two
murderers under sentence of death, attack
the Dewity alien iTwith revoia-ers, about biro
down and escape. The revolvers have been
carried in by their friends, and they are even
better armed than their guanla. This, of
course, ia the shahbitst sort of a mockery of
imprisonment.
I:i many such county jails, like that in
Somerset, the guard is abont all there is of
the prison. Once be is dispgsed of, the way
ia clear, and the character of the structure
gives desperate prisoners plenty of chances.
There arc a lot of old ramshackle buildings
in ase as jaiis in rich counties of 'ids State
which would scarcely bold a pig of ordiuary
enterprise. County Commissioners, either
from inherent stinginess or from fear of the
political effect, do not make a move toward
replacing them with new ones. Oi,e grand
jury after another closes its eyes, and draws
its feel, and goes home to scrape potatoes ami
save the skins, until by and by there is a
general jail delivery, with perhaps a murder
or two by way of incident. That has been
the practice ia Somerset county, and it has
plenty of company.

An Old Village with New Life.
SoxcariELD. Soacasrr Co.. Pi..
September 1'i, HO. ,
Emtob Herald: Having spent a few
days in Somerfield, formerly called Smith
field, and immediate neighborhood, I hand
yon a few Botes in respect to its past and
present condition. It ia located on the cast
sid of the Youghiogheny river, in the
southwest comer of Somerset county, and on
the well-known National turnpike. It as
sumed village proportions away back in lsiH,
at the time ot the construction of tbo pike,
and attained quit a reputation for its first
class bontleriei its inns being known to the
traveling public, east and west, as among
the beat eating bouses from Baltimore to
Wheeling.
I'p to l5t the National turnpike was one
of Ihe best and moat extensively traveled
thoroughfares between the east and west ;
but in this year the traveling public was
transferred to lb plank road running
throngh Somerset, from Cumberland. Md.,
to West Newton. Pa. Thia transfer of travel
and that which shortly followed on the
completion of the Pennsylvania, and Balti
more A hio Railroads, gave the old town a
backset, which resulted in reducing its jop
ulation, ami even its buildings, fully to one
half of what they formerly were. Although
so favorably located in respect lo magnificent
scenery, good water and pure mountain air,
tehabod seemed destined to be written all
over it its former glory baring apparently
departed forever, thus leaving it to the fate
of (ioldsniith's deserted village. But fortu
nately fate had in reservation a better and
brighter future for it than that.
Almost a year ago a wide-awake eastern
gentleman spent a few weeks at a favorite
summer resort in the old town, and wisely
conceiving thai there would be money in
opening an avenue for the transportation of
the fine lumber lining the banks of the
Youghiogheny river, and the rich mineral
products hidden among the hills, agitated
the question of a railroad from Confluence
to a point some twelve miles above Somer
field, in the north-western part of Garrett
county, Maryland. The idea being favorably
received by a few eastern capitalists, a speedy
survey was made and a charter secured ; and
in an incredibly short space of time the road
was commenced, and the work pushed so
vigorously tbat the road-bed is already iia
Ulietl and rail laid lo a point only a few
miles from its terminus. Construction cars
are making two and three trips daily from
Confidence to some mites above Somerfieid.
It is expected tbat the whole of the road
will be in running onier by the middle of
October, when the event will be celebrated
by a grand opening. The road and rolling
stock wiil not be what some of the envious
residents of ueighhonng little villages say it
will be a one-horse, narrow-gauge one but
a bnil gauge, tsrsl-ciaas railroad in all its
appointments including road bed, water
tanks, stations, ties and first class steel rails.
There are no flies on its enterprising Presi
dent Mr. Henry aud its Board of directors.
It will ultimately be extended further South
up one of ihe Yough's tributaries, forming a
connection with the B. A O. railroad at or
near Oakland, Md,
Somerfield will be iu principal station the
old pike making it easy of access for both
eastern and western passenger and freght
traffic. The town already is reaping the
benefit of the enterprise, its business being
boomed to a point seldom known in the
palmy day of stage coaches and wagons.
Real estate has advanced from lot) to J1 per
cent. Few other villages ot the county show
as much life and activity as i; now does
Property holders are improving Iheir build
ings and new ones are going np. A fine
store room, modern in all iu details is near
its completion, and one of the finest Roaring
mills in Western Pennsylvania, with the
newest and mast aprtroved roller process,
has been put up, at cost of some i,000.4(.
The mill is in succesful operation, turning
out dour equal in quality to the best Vienna
in market.
A former resident of Somerfield visiting,
the old town is a much surprwed at the
change that ha taken place in it, as Irving s
Rip Van Winkle was after bis twenty years'
little nap over the Lraoalbrmatioa of his
native village.
