Farmer's Institute.
Representative, Tiller) of th Soil
in County .Convention.
The first Farmer' Institute ever held
in somerset county under tbe auspices
of tbe Pe.no) lvnia Stala Brd of Agricul
ture convened in . the 0urt IXuaa at lo
o'clock a, m. this. Tueday, mo.-ning Rep-
resentaiive farmer were present from all
part of the county and at least one-third of
the large andienoe was composed of ladies.
The meeting was called to order by Judge
0. P. ehaver, who suggested Rev. N. B.
Critchfield for temporary chairman. On as
suming th chair, Mr. Critchfield retaroed
thank for the honor conferred upon him in
a very few words. He stated tbat tbi meet
ing wa for everybody interested ln farming
and be hoped tbat all would nndentand that
they were at perfect liberty to speak.
J. S. Miller, of Quemahoning, moved tbat
a committee of Set on permanent organiza
tion b appointed Tbe chair appointed J.
8. Miller, of Qaesuahoctng, L. A- Lambert,
of Stonycreck. J. R. Boo of Milford, A. F.
Dickey, of Somerset and Albert Berkey, of
Qiemahoning.
Pending tbe report of this cammittee the
chair took occasion to introduce the repre
sentative of the State Board of Agriculture
present. First came Hon. John A. Wood
ward, Associate editor of the For Jowwii,
who said, " I regard institute work of tbia
description as tbe beat educational work
farmers can engage in. . I myself am a farm
er, when not engaged in duties like the pres
ent one. I have attended a great many
institutes like this one during the past few
yearn, and I have never attended one with
out going home feeling that I waa better
qualified for my work than I was before.
Our Legislature has generously made ap
propriations for these meetings', but the
work has grown faster than tbe appropri
ations. Progress is being made in all tbe
avenues of trade, and we farmers must
progress with them. In all mechanical pur
suits new methods and new machinery are
cotittantlv being introduced, and the margin
of profit ia beiog cut down, and we must
keep abreast with them fir ourowu pro
tection. This meeting i for all. and what
you want to do is to help the members of
the State Board of Agriculture, who are
here with you.
lon't fail to have a query-box and to
make use of it ; yea will find that tbe
answers and arguments ou the question
will be of more use to yoa than the pro
gram, as they always liave to be arranged at
a venture. Fire in the questions; they will
answer your own special needs. The pro
ceedings of this convention may be of very
little importance, but it will start you to
thinking in the right way.
Mr. J. Gundv. of LewUbtav. another
member of the Slate Board of Agriculture,
was next introduced. He said : "I fully
concur in all that has been said by Mr.
Woodward. I, too. have never attended an
Institute without receiving information.
You all know something some one else dou't
know, if you will only communicate it.
I would suggest tbat the question box be
opened at the meeting of each eessim, and
as this Institute's likely to hear more of me
before it adjourns, I w ill say nothing more
al present."
Tho. J. Edge, Secretary of tbe State Board
of Agriculture, w ho' name if not on tbe pro
gram, waa then introduced, and gave the
organization of that body, atating that uore
of its members were aaiaried. only receiving
such eoiut-eusalion as barely pays necessary
traveling expenses.
Mr. Pbelie, of Crawford county, got up to
show himself, as he said, "theother gentle
men having stolen all my thunder. "
B. H. Warren, M. D-, Ornithologist of the
Stale B-iard of Agriculture, West Chester,
Pa., on bein introduced said, " I am only
an honary member of the 8tate Board and
represent the crank" end of it."
BEPOBT OF (OHlllTTtX OS OBtjAXIZtTlOK.
Rev. X. B. Critchfield, President; Rev. J.
L. W. Seioert, Vice President; H. J. Hoff
man, Secretary, were here reported for
permanent officers and were unanimously
elected by the Institute.
The regular program was then taken Up.
Mr. J. A. Boose, of Summit, read a paper ou
" Farmers' Institutes for Somerset County."
He regretted tbat it fell to his lot to open the
Institute, but remarked that ali things must
bavea beginning, and that he was pleased to
see tbat nine-tenth of his audience were of
bi calling. " The success of this Conven
tion depend upon bow much interest we
farmers take in it. Though it may prove
little embarrassing for us to make ciieeche,
I hope that ail will do their part, and that
the program will be carried out, and, that
following Horace Greely's advice, we will
tell what we know alout farming. Without
farmers we would have no bread, clothes,
schools, or country. ur meetings must
have no political significance, and we should
gag the local of5ce-eekers who seek to fur
ther their end through them. They have
no more bunini-s here than Lave the fellows
who want to sell the latest patent fence, or
farm machinery. These meetings are for prac
tical farmers, aud we thould create such an
interest among ourstlvea that we will go
borne better qualified to perform our duties
than we were before. Farmers' Institute
are a good thing ; every farmer knows some
thing tbat will benefit his neighbor, if we
can draw it out. Let the farmer raUe their
voices against unjust discrimination in taxa
tion, aud battle for their rights.
Mr. Boose said tbat he ou!y urged that
politics he gept out of the Institute, to which
Mr, Seihert rejoined, "farmers are politicians.
Philip Waiker, of Somerset township,
then read a paper on fFarroer'a Mistakes."
He commenced by saying : ""we have same
retty big guns here and tbey acknowledge
they have a "crluk" among them, so I may
be pardoned If I merge on the 'crank" order.
The farmer ia compelled to do more work
now than in 15 years past, and our farms
are appreciating very little in value." Mr.
Walker thinks ihere j joniejhing radically
wrong somewhere tbgt causes this slate of
aJTiirs. He thinks fanner make a mistake
iu selling their bay and draw. Better feed
it on tbe farm aud reap the benefit in fat
stock and manure. Another mistake ia in
not providing better shelter fortock;in
string their cream to agents who call around
and collet it only to manufacture inferior
butter; in signing remonstrances agaiust
the granting of liquor licensee, since there is
no decrease in drunkenness and the grant
ing of licenses would lessen the burden of
taxation ; that it is a mistake to vote fur a
high tariff, but the greatest mistake be
thinks baa been made in electing county
Commissioners, who build extravagant
brieves and spend $25.0u0 ip building a new
jail which be predicts will be only ornament
al, and we inferred, entirely useless. Mr.
YVa'ker recited a number of other mistakes
wliib lie tiiipM farmers make and while
the Institute seemed pleased that be bad the
courage to speak Li conviction it til evi
dent that all were not in fympathy with bis
idea.
William H. Miller, of Quemahoning. fol
lowed with a carefully prepared paper on
Reading Matter for Farmer' Families"
which will apper in our next issue. At the
close of Mr. Miller s remarks Institute ad
journed to meet at 1.30 p. m.
Rev. Bate' Loctur.
Rer. W. H. Bate, of St, John Reformed
Clicrch, of Johnstown, Pa., delivered one of
bis illustrated lectures on " The Johnstown
Flood." on Thursday evening. February
6ta, in Stuyertowo. Owing to tlie inclemen
cy of the Weather the audience was rather

both with tk instructive lecture, and the
aevrnty-eigbt truthful and graphic magic

In tn Cambria county
Cr-
phan's Court.
Mr. L. E. Stone', a staff correspondent of
tbe Pittsburgh Viyxitch. recently paid a visit
to Ebembarg for the purpose of looking up
the condition of estates left in a tangle by
the flood, end has been able to contribute to
bia paper a very interesting article, from
which we take the information given below:
0i the morning of Jane 12h a team drew
up at the Cambria County Court House, in
Ebenfcburg, from Johnstown. It brought
Mr. D. D. Morretl, of Henrietta, Blair Coun
ty, who at once applied for letters of admin
istration on the estate of Mrs. Mary L. Diller,
bi daughter. She wa tba wife of Rev. A,
P. Billar, of Johnstown. Both were drown
ed in tbe flood. The value of Mrs. Diller s
personal property that wa saved wa 7,773.
This waa twelve days after the flood, and
was tbe very first application to the Orphan's
Court to settle an estate where the will bad
beeu destroyed.
In th estate of Howard J. Robert, Cash
ier of the First National Bank, wbo was
drowned, tbe letters were tsken out by bis
on, Dwigbt Roberts, and an appraisement
showed tbe value of $32,400. Separate en
tries were made in the estates of Mr. Rob
erta' wife and son, Otis, wbo perished also.
A a appraisement of tbe estate of SberiT
Ryan swowed $26,100. He, with his wife,
mother, and several children were ail drown
ed. William F. Diller appears as the admin
istrator of Rev. A. P. Inller's estste, but an
appraisement only hows (S7.30 of s value.
Alex. Recke's estate is estimated at $7,157.
Martha Dibert appears a the executrix of
John Dibert. tbe banker, who lost hi life.
His personal estate is put down at $3,175.
Matilda Bensboff s name was found as ap
plying for papers on Arthur M. Benshoff's
estate. Arthur was ber son. He was lost in
tLe flood. Oa the next page she also asked
for letters on the property of J. Q. A. Bea-
shoff, ber husband. He died in one of the
improvised hospitals three days after the
black Friday.
Captain O'Connell's heirs appraised what
property remains at $I.o).
Christ Fitzbarris was a well-known hotel
keeper on Franklin street, who was drown
ed, and in settling up his affairs all he left
was found to be worth only $itl.
Jame P. McConaugby was another pop-
alar resident. His heirs applied for letters,
without a will, of course, and an appraise
ment showed $5,751, exclusive of real estate.
e. I
Justice of uie Peace John Brady left prop
erty worth $fl.42-
In a double frame bouse in Woodvale
there resided W. E. Hjopes and family and
H. W. Smith and family. Tbe great crest of
water from South Fork lifted the building
high in the air and then smashed it into
kindling wood. Mr. Hoopes, his wife, and
both tbeir children were ail drowned within
a few minntes. Mr. Smith lost all hi fami
ly, and bi baby girl was killed by crashing
timber while be held ber in one arm. His
other arm thrown around a tree barely sav
ed bis own life.
There was absolutely nothing left of Mr.
Hoopes' possessions, aud tbe hutory of tbe
family and borne would have been ended as
extinct, but for tbe fact that an agent of a
Baltimore beneficial society advertised tbat
W. E. Hoopes bad his life insured with
them for $2,000, and they were ready to pay
it as soon as tbey knew who it should go to.
Mrs. Com man, a sister of Mr. Hoopes. took
out letters of administration through her !
attorney, R. S. Murphy. E-q of Johnstown.
A Mr. Roger", brother of Mr. Hoopes' wife,
has also made application for administration
letters, basing the claim through the chil
dren of bia taster ; that they being dead he
is the next of kin.
In other worJs, Rger means that Mr.
Hoopes died first; that the life insurance
would tben have b-en paid to Mrs. Hoopes,
but she dying too, the children were entitled
to it ; and they having also perished, the
money is now legally d ie Mrs, Hoopes' im
mediate relatives. Where wills do not exist
after deaths estates always have to pass, ac
cording to law, from hnbn. 1 to wife, from
ife to children, etc. Of course no wil! re
mained in the Hoopes case, as everything was
swept away.
The case of the Parke beirs follows : The
rights of the son-in-law as againat those of
the son depend npon tbe question of the
survival of the daughter. But as all attempts
to prove anything were futile, an amicable
arrangement was effected between thebroih-ers-in
law. In this way quite a number of
disputes were settled where trouble had been
expected, aud would have resulted, bad the
cases been allowed to go into litigation, be
cause this point of priority of death would
give both sides of a contest about equal
chance.
In many entries on the docket are ciphers
like these : "000 00" opposite the words
general appraisement," That means that
there was not a cent's worth of personal prop
ty left by the flood. Such a case is that of
John W. Stuff!, of Woodvale. He perished,
with all his family, and his pretty house
went to pieces. Only the arid ground. 00x100
feet, remains, and to claim tbat bis brother
in-law John C. Lardin. of New Florence, has
taken out letters of administration. Clow
by this spot stood another house, that of J.
W. Tro. He had a large family, but tbey
al! went down to death together in the ruins
of tlieir borne. The sole survivor of the
family in any of its branches is a brother,
John Tiosr, and be has taken out letters of
administration on tbe bare lot of ground.
A Word From Stonycraek.
As tbe time of election draws near, a few
words may not be amiss. I think tbe Re
publican voters of Stonycreek are loaing all
interest in our township elections. They
don't seem to care who is in office. Democrat
or Republican. Why is it ? When we bold
a Presidential or county officers' election are
we willing to see tbe Democrats rnle? I
think not ; therefore I think we should also
see that each Republican vote be cast for a
Republican candidate at our township elec
tion. For instance, for the past ten years
we had a Iemocratic Justice of the Peace.
Shall we have a Democratic Justice' the next
five years? I hope tbe Republicans will no
longer leave the impression among the pub
lic that the b; publicans have no man fit to
bold thai office of 'Squire. We have over
three hundred Republican voters, and why
ia it that w can't elect Republican officers 7
We have three Republicans miming for Jus
tice. - One In tbe Glades, one in Lameert
ville. and one in ShankivUle. Now, I am
positive all of these men are capable of fill
ing the office. They are all three bright,
moral, ino-liigent men men whom the
peoyle can be proud to Lve in their midit ;
and now, as good honest Republicans, shall
we see these men detested by Democrats ?
I ssy let every Republican voter come out on
election day and vote for bis party men, and
is it wise or prudent for those few Republicani
who are working to get Democrats in office?
I say reflect a moment before you commit a
rash act. Every Republican should keep an
eye on those Republican who work for
Democrats, and hereafter count them no
I&nger Republicans. I think the proper way
bribe Republicans lo do would he to bold a
nomination ; they are held in every town
ship bat Slonyefek.

While tben' life there's hope, and until
tbe fateful moment shall have arrived when
the trap will be sprang, and the two men
now confined In tbe insecure old county jail
under aeatence of death will be seen dan
gling at the end of six feet of hemp, the hops
of saving tbeir unworthy necks will not be
abandoned, and no means known to tba law
will be left untried by tbeir counsel, relatives
and friends to save them from tbeir awful
doom. '
Tbey were tried and convicted of the crime
of murder. Tbeir motion for a new trial
wa beard and refused. Sentence of death
was pronounced npon them. Their case waa
appealed to the Supreme Court, and the
judgment of tbe trial court was affirmed.
Tbey have only one chance left, and tbat ia
to create such a doubt ut their guilt in tbe
ra inds of tbe members of tbe State Board of
Pardons as will warrant that body ia rec
ommending their pardon or a commutation of
their sentence from that of death to impria
onment for life.
For reasons best known to himself. Gov
ernor Beaver hes not yet named tbe day for
the execution of these men, although be has
fixed tbe day for tbe banging of several oth
er murderer convicted at a much more re
cent date than were the Nicely'.
They were sentenced, by Judjre Baer, to
be taken to the jail from whence they came
and there be hanei by the neck until d-d
Tbe "jail from whence they came, " wil be
given into the bands of tbe contractors, on
April 1st, who will tear it down preparatory
to building the new jaii. If the Governor
further neglects bis duty and does not name
a day prior to April 1st tbe prisoners will be
removed into another county for safe keep
ing while the new jail is being built and the
execution cannot uae place till the new
building ia completed.
Tbe Pardon Board bave given notice that
they will not meet this month, and wil! hold
their next meeting on the 18th of March, at
which time, are suppose, the application for
the pardon of Joseph and David Nicely will
be argued before them.
With a view of going before the Pardon
Board on the 19th of the present month dep
ositions were taken in the interest of Joseph
and David Nicely, before Justice Gilian
Lint, at the office of Messrs Co (Troth Rup-
pel on Wednesdsy and Thursday of last
week.
Messrs Coffrotb, Ruppel and Koontx rep
resented the Nicely 'a while F. J. Kooser Esq.
took care of the Commonwealths interests.
THK TESTIM05T.
The first witness called was Frank KUlen.
He was examined by Mr. Koontz.
lie said he lived about two miles from
New Florence, in St Clair township, West
moreland county. On tbe morning of March
1st, 1J he went to the bonne of Mr.
George Barron, a little over a mile from his
place, in the opposite direction from New
Florence. II was on horseback, and star
led to go home about 8 o'clock. As be came
out of the lane leading to Barrens bouse on
to the road he saw a man ahead of bim
walking toward New Florence; the man was
walking very ftut and looked back two or
three times. The witness caught np to ti.e
man and engaged him in conversolion. He
said be was a boss carpenter and bad a lot of
men working for bim in Johnstown and a
lot in Pittsburgh and the storm there had
killed some of bis men. He was going to
Johnstown bnt could not wait for tbe pas
senger train ; would lake the first freight
train. He had a red face, and Lis beard was
short and thin ar.d bis mustache was a
brown or sandy color. He bad on a mid
dling daik colored coat, brown jeans ants
that were faded and dirty. He wore a gray
cap sticking'.cioie to his bead. He was com
ing from the direction of tbe Laurel Hill
Mountain that divides Somerset and West
moreland counties. The witness had been
in the county jail tbat morning and bad had
th Deptiity Sheriff point out Joe and Die
Nicely to him, neither of whom were the
man be saw on the 1st of March. Tbe man
be saw on tbat day was about 5 feet 8 or 10
inches gl).
rBOSS-EXlMI3KD BT XX, KOOSI8.
On cross ? lamination, tbe witness said be
did not know Anthony, Joseph or David
Nicely, and that be had first told about meet
ing ibis man to his father and sister. Mr.
James L. Hair came to see him in the inter
est of the Nicely'. He first learned of the
Tmberger murder on the first of March, and
it was on that day he met tbe man on the
road.
James L. Hair, a farmer of St. Clair town
ship, Westmoreland county, and a former
resident of Jenner township, this county,
was the next witness examined. He said
be was fifty-six years of age. and that on
the 1st of March last he was at tbe railroad
above New Florence, hauling ties. Benja
min Nicholson, Samuel Hill and George
Hull were with him. When he got Ihere,
at 9 or ba!f-st 9 o'clock, be found a
stranger there. The stranger had on a pair
of gum boots, and pants tbat were very
mnch bleached, and appeared as if be bad
beeu working in mortar or paint. He had
on a gray, tight cap. He was about 3 feet
8 inches in height, red complexiooed, with
a sandy mustache and light beard. Our
conversation was this: He talked some time
about the tie question ties that would pass,
and tben about traveling on the train, and
I spoke tip and says, thetw was a young man
killed there ; I can sympathise with Mr.
Winebrenner, for I had a boy killed witb an
engine. He asked me if it was Jacob Wine
brenner' boy. I said, no ; Peter Wineuren
ner's He said he "used to go with Wine
brenner daughter Uester, Tben he aked
me if we bad beard the new from Mr,
I'mtierer's murder. He asid he wa xuur
dured, aud that the people who murdered
him
rsiiER'TooD rr uEviusn wxix.
He said oid Mr. I'mberger was over in
Westmoreland county to see some of her
relatives, aud that he and bis wife were go
ing to go away in a buggy and met ber. and
that be said to the old lady, you wiil bave
to wail for a conveyance, and it will cost
you a dollar to where yoa want to go ; you
will Lave to wait about an hour for tbe 'bus
or whatever conveyance she ws waiting on.
He asked her to get into his baggy ; be said
it would save ber a dollar and she would be
much quicker there. She got in and bis
wife drove and took Lex ont there.
He said the girl at I'mberger' tbat night
was at J tinging, and. when the came home
the brought ber btau with ber. When they
went into the bouse the old man waa mur
dered and the men wbo did it were there ;
one man ran out of tbe door and got away,
and as the other ran out tbe bean caught
him, and in bis posessinn they got $1300 or
$13000, I don't remember which. Then be
said, yon wiil see it in the papers. lie said
the Inquest was held tbere that night, and
tbat tbey appeared devilNh dumb about it,
and -that be apoke up and said to them,
gentlemen, yon will bave to strip and ex
amine the man to see bow be enms to hi
death before yoa can make bnt a verdict.
He said I'mberger came to bis death from a
blow or lick of an axe bark of bis head.
Fie said something about having his nose in
other people' business, and that Wine
brenner. had sail! he' would some to tbe
devil's end. He said be was a boas mason
or brfrkteyer and that be bad some bands
at Johnstown and was going thtre to psy
them off. Hie said be owned a farm back of
Donegal some place and was going to retire,
He Ux4 a freight train east -
Mr.' Hull said that if what the roan said
was tree, lw must be one of the murderers.
I first made this known to tbe Nicely "s,
and first came here on New Year's day of
151). J went to the jail, and tbe man wbo
was shot pointed out fie N'ice'ys to me
neither of them were the man I saw that
.lay.
I believe I got a glimpse of tbe man I saw
at New Florence once since; it wta in the
Cambria Iron Work at Johnstown, in the
roiling milt. We had to go in pretry quick,
and a man came past us that I thought I rec
ognized as him; we bad nothing bat the
light of the iron to recogr.Lat Lint by.
Bis o.vc oE wis -:l. ;
On cross-examination the witness said he
did not know either Joe or Dave Nicely, and
that be only knew Anthony Nicely since
tbe 1st of January ; he first told the story to
Matthew Griffith, who wa around looking
matters up for the Nicely ; be admitted
that be had been pretty active in tbt matter
and bad served a number of abpana ; had
gone to Johnst iwn to look ef.er the ruau he
bad seen at New Florence, at the reqaest of
the Nicely s counsel ; be said lbe man's name
was David Boils, and that h reported it to
Mr. Kocnti asoat the first of tbe year.
George Mull, one of the men who was
with Hair at New' Florence was next x-
am!nd. Hi testimony wa in corrobora
tion of uur s ana he tola muck the tarn
story. H had been at Johnstown and bad
seen Boils and thought be was the man he
saw at New Florence. n eaid that Hair
bad given bint $1 to pay hi expense to
Johnstown. Tbe witness thought Boil was
not mentally what he ought to be and tbat
he was from 35 to 40 years of age.
Samuel Hill testified tbat be was on tbe
Pennsylvania Railroad near tbe watering
trough, making telegraph poles, when this
man came along, between 9 and 10 o'clock
and aaked why it was that there was ao
freight train going. He said he waa going
to Johnstown on the freight. Hair came
there then and this stranger told about tbe
I'mberger murder to Mr. Hair. The wit
ness then described the appearance of tbe
stranger and' told pretty much the same
story tbat had been told by tbe witness Hair.
The stranger impressed the witness as
MUG A MAS hot or socxn I5I.
Fioyd L. Stuff! said that be was Tt years
of age and lived on a farm ail joining Her
nia! I'mberger. He was at rmberger's the
night of tbe murder got there about 8 o'clock. I
There were from 12 to 13 persona there,
all nl whom he knew. H wu a member
of the jury cf inquest and saw nothing of a
stranger with gum beots on and did not
bear any one make the remark that before
they returned a verdict they should strip
tbe man and see bow be came by bis death.
I'mberger's is from 3 to 4 miles from For
wardstown and tbere is a rood leading di
rect from Glessner' post-ctF.ce to the moun
tain and over to Waterford. This road is
only a mile or a mile and a half beyond I'm
berger's. From Umbergcr's going to Water
ford tbe direct road would be the road by
Glessner' post office and it leads ia the di
rection of New Florence.

man of from 35 to 40 years of age, has a san
dy mustache, red lace, and i somewhat bald

I'mberger murder. Boils said to the witness
it was strange that they did not try and see
if they could find out this ped Her ; that he
passed I'mberver's house, and they ought to
try aDd find him ; he. Boils, said he bad
come on the train that day to Latrobe, and
