Wm. J. Base,
President Judge of the 16th Judicial District
of I'enn a.
Somerset county's two must notorious and
much raiked about residents, left very nnex
pectedly Monday morning, for the Indiana
ciHiniy jail. The first grey of dawn was
slowly lighting up the " bills o' Somerset,"
when Deputy Sheriff" Miit" McMillen pok
ed his '.nee into tbe frost-laden air,
and called out, " All ready ! Come on.
boys !" He was followed by Dave and Joe
Nicely, bound one to another by a highly
polished chain, which encircled Joe's left
and Dave's right wrist. They were closely
followed by Kd Richardson and
Will Keifer, the jail watchmen,
while the rear of tbe procession was
brought op by Sheriff McMillen and tbe on
ly other prisoner in bis custody, one John
Lapdis.who bad bis bunds folded in front of
hira and seemed very much exercised about
bis silver bracelets and how he could con
ceal them from the view of bis fellow men.
Milt McMillen set tbe pace with a quick
nervous step that was eagerly taken up by
the Nicely boys wba were experiencing tbe
first sensations of relief from tbe cold, heavy
chains that bad dangled from their heels
since the day of their murderous assaalt on
tbe deputy .Sheriff and subsequent attempt
to escape.
ShenrT McMillen ha"d confided in only one
or two persons the fact that he was going to
remove his boarders Monday morning, and
consequently but few knew of their depart
ure. Joe and Wvt Nicely were recognized
hy several.of tbe early morning passengers
for Johnstown, and their presence was made
known to all who gut on the train at the
ilirTcrsent stations. Before the train reached
Johnstown the aisle of the smoking car in
which tbe prisoners were seated was crowd
ed with men, esger to catch a glimpse of the
famous criminals. On tbe arrival of tbe
train at Johnstown the prisoners were
marched to the " Mansion House,"' opposite
the B. A O. Station, where a room had been
secured by the Sheriff. Their presence in
that city was soon noised abroad, and in a
few minutes several hundred men had sur
rounded tbe hotel, seeking permission to be
presented to the distinguished desperadoes.
No one was permitted to see tbeni. however,
and the crowd about the hotel kept increas
ing every minute until the time of
the departure of the ShenfT s posse for the
Pennsylvania railroad station where not
less than five hundred men were elbowing
their way towards the hotel door. Shortly
after nine o'clock Constable Waters, of
Johnstown, assisted by two or three police
men, drove the crowd back from the hotel
entrance and cleared tbeway for theSheriffs
piwee. At the first appearance of the Nicely
boys a hundred voices remarked in sn under
tone. " It's a pity they didn't lynch the
scoucdrels tbe day tbey shot the Deputy
Sheriff." while others expressed the opin
ion that " they don't look like mur
derers". The Pennsylvania railroad station
contained a perfect jam of jieople, snch as
one is accustomed to witnessing on " circus
day " at Meyersdale, all anxious to see tbe
Nicely boys. Constable Waters and his as
sistants opened a passage way through the
crowd to the waiting room, where seats were
provided for the prisoners. Tbe Nicely boys
wt re apparently as unconcerned as any two
men anion? tlie thousand persons present,
and never for a moment evinced the slight
est indication that they were aware that the
crowd bad collected merely to look upon
their faces.
Oa the train to Blairsville all of the pass
engers seemed to learn of the presence of
their distinguished company at the same
moment and all made a break for tbe smok
ing car to greet them. Everybody, it ap
peared, knew of the Umberjrer murder, and
were anxious to see the men convicted of
the, crime. Joe had a smile and a pleas
ant word for every person who spoke to bim
while Pave looked vacantly out of the car
w indow, seemingly uninterested and uncon
cerned in the people who were talking about
him. Tbe authorities at Indiana bad not
been noliried of the coming af the Somerset
county prisoners, and no official was at the
rsflasy atation to meet them.
Commissioner David E. Wagner, repre
senting Somerset county, led tbe way to the
jail, and introduced the officers and prison
ers to Sheriff J. M. Mack.
Tbe Nicely boys expressed themselves as
being only too glad to get out of Somerset
county and its miserable old jail, where they
had been confined for more than a year.
After being conducted to their cells by Sher
iff Mack, both removed their coats and join
ed the eight or nine Indiana county prison
ers in the central corridor, where Davs
interested himself in newspaper while Jos
1 .entered a new acquaintance for a game of
"oldieilge," and was cheerfully dealing the
cards before the officers left bios.
The Indiana county jail is a modern
structureand is one of tbe most secure and
best adapted prisons in the Slate, and pris
oners placed in it are sure to stay there until
released by due process of law.
Literary Notes.
It is said that a literary form almost whol
ly new to English literature wiil be intro
duced in a volume which Messrs. Harper A
Brothers have in press for early publication.
The boc k is collection of examples of a
striking species of composition, carefully se
lected and translated from tbe French. This
literary form has of late years been carried
to a high degree of development in France,
but it has not as yet been naturalised in
other countries, except to a certain extent in
Russia Tne volnme will be illustrated from
one hundred and fifty drawings, by H. W. j
McViekar, after the French manner or

Tbe Young Peoples' Mite Sxiety of tbe

year's work. By their assistance and Co op
eration tbe young people have been brought
mors actively into the church. The meet
ings of the society art hM on alternate Mon
day evening, at the homes of the memSers.
On last Monday eveninj the meeting place
was at the home of Miss Susan Schrock and
tbe representation was unusually large.- A
new feature in the society wai introduced,
ia tbe reading df tbe first number of their
new paper. Tin Cycle, edited by Miss Mary

A special meeting of thesociety was call sd
for last Sunday evening at the residence of J.
M. Cook, to discuss a plan for ths new year's
work. There were present about twenty
members, when President Charles F. Cook
called lb meeting to order. A pro position
to educate one of their cumber for the min
istry, or to assist him as far aa possible, was
offered, and favored by tbe entire representa
tion of members.
The name of R. M. Patton was brought be
fore the meeting, and bis aims for preparing
for tbe ministry being known, his choice for
tbe honor was made unanimous.
A committee, composed of Miss Fannie
Snyder, and Messrs. Joe Brallier and Willis
Pisel, was named to acquaint Mr. Patton of
the plans adopted, and tendering him good
wishes and snpport,oa behalf of the society.
After the evening servicss Mr. Patton wis
apprehended by the committee as he was

He was completely surprised, and expressed

Drowned While Attempting to Cross
Shaffer's Run, Allegheny
Township.
Oa Saturday, March 22, WW, Miss Julia
Glessner, while returning from a visit in
Southampton township, accompanied by a
young Mr. Einerick, son of Valentin Em
erick, attempted to cross Shaffer's run, a
branch of Will's creek close to David Bak
er's, on horse back. But before crossing
there was considerable hesitation on tbe part
of the lady, owing to the siaa of the stream.
After the young man bad crossed and we
learn that be swsm bis horse part wsy he
beckoned ber to follow, which after a time
she did, and succeeded in getting only part
way across when it is supposed that she be
came dizzy and lost her balance ; tbe saddle
girth then broke and she fell into the strea.n
and was hurled a short distance, when she
was caught by young Emerirk, who put
forth his utmost exertions to save ber, but
in vain ; she wss torn from bis grasp, and
the seething waters gulped down its victim.
Death set bis seal on ber fair face, and she
was seen no more alive. Tbe news spread
like wildfire and soon there were scores of
people oa the scene, and eager eyes were
peering into every little pile of driftwood
and every clump of bashes as far down as
Weld and Sheridan's dam. but search was
fruitless, Tbe approach of night compelled
all to abandon their task, only to resume it
again early Sunday morning, reinforced by
double the number of that on Saturday. By
this time the waters bad abated somewhat
and any object was more discernable than
on the day previons. Portions of her ap
parel were found early in the day, such as
shawl, hat, etc. About ten o'clock, how

the UtatLU, as I cannot possibly get along
without it,. and look for it on Tuesday of
each week as regularly as I do for my regu
lar ration of pork and beans. During the
snow blockade I was without eastern papers
for three weeks, and felt the loss greatly.
Tbe last winter was the severest one I ever
spsnt in California, and reminded me very
much of the winter of 1351, being tbe last
one I spent in Pennsylvania. It seemed as
though it never would let op dousing us
with tbe beautiful snow. We had here, all
told, for the winter, between six and
seven feet, which is by far the greatest depth
of snow I ever saw before. Eight or ten
miles north of here the depth of snow is
much greater, attaining a depth of from 25
to 30 feet.

a nephew of the late Hon. Henry 8. Picking,

occupant of the place during tbe winter, and
snow fell there to tbe depth of forty feet
He occupied the largest bouse in the place,

The South Penn R. R.
What will bo tha Ultimata File
oflth-i Enterprise?
The purchase mad? by George F. Baer,
General Solicitor for the Bsading railway, at
the sals at McConnallsburg, has revived
speculation as to tbe ultimate fate of the
South Been. It seems Incredible that a root
on which tbe immense sum of $3,500,000 baa
been expended sboold be rendered of no
avail and tbe vast outlay be entirely wast
ed. But ia what shape tbe South Penn may
be revived is questionable. Mr. Baer has
said bis purchase was not made for the
Bonding, and it is not reasonable to suppose
that ths Pennsylvania people, afur the
pains they had taken to kill ths enterprise,
should permit it to get into bostils hands
It is hardly reasonable to suppose, on ths
other band, that Mr.CBaer was acting for
any interests unfriendly to the Reading.
Thus tbs whole affair isjsbrouded in mys
tery. TheReedi.ig railroad now extends from
Shippensburg, in the Cumberland valley,
from where tbe South Penn was to striks ot!
through the southern tier of counties. A
railroad from there to a connection with the
Baltimore A Ohio, with which the Reading
is acting in harm ay, would accomplish the
purpose of the djuth Penn lo furnish a
shorter trank line to the West, Under Aus
tin Corbin's mangeraent the Reading has
been pursuingaggressive policy in the East.
Instead of pursuing a policy subservient to the
Pennsylvania railroad, as it was supposed be
would when be was placed at the bead of the
Reading by the Drexel A Morgan peacema
kers, be has been quietly strengthening and
extending tbe system until it is now rumor
ed be has designs uf extending to and
absorbing tbe Poughkeepsie bndge and
reaching after New England trafUc.
There has beeu some doubt expressed as
to what Mr. Baer bought at the Fulton
county sale, but, in the language of a former
South Penn stuekholder. " no one need im
agine George Baer don't know what be has
purchased."

Twenty four monuments to tbe South
Perm railroad decorate the broad bosom of
the Susquehanna strung in single file, stsn
ding at regular intervals from each other,
from the confines of Harrisburg to tbe Cum
berland county shore. Tbey are of solid
masnory. substantial and symmetrical, and
when erected in the years that are fled in
spired the people of the Cumberland valley
with tbe hope of railroad competition was
about to be given them ; that a new trunk
line connecting the land of the sunrise with
the sunset country would stimulate tbe indus
tries of the southern tier of counties and in
vigorate tbe business and traffic of this great
State. The twenty-four monuments are the
piers on which were to rest the bridge that
was to have connected tbe Reading system
with the new steel highway and give tbe
former an entry into Pittsburgh, and from
there a way west over the Vauderbilt
system.
These twenty-four man a men Is span the
stream at a historic spot. Almost where
they leave the Dauphin shore is tbe grave cf
John Harris, father of that John Harris who
founded the city now most noted aa the
Capital of the great Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania The elder Harris came from York
shire, England, and built himself a log
bouse on t he banks of the Susquehanna, and
traded fire-water, beads, and jtber products
of civilization to the red men for the furs of
the animals that filled the forests Tbe In
dians were not pleased that Harris built this
log bouse, and in course of time a roving
band seized bim, tied him to a tree and at
tempted to burn him. But tbe attempt was
defeated. Harris was rescued and lived and
traded many years on the banks of the river
that later sang a requiem as bis remains
were interred st the 'foot ol the tree where
be was so nearly sacrificed to the ire of the
sons of the forest. His grave is now sur
rounded by a little iron railing, and tbe
slump of tbe Ires lo whkfa- tbe Indians tied ;
him when tbey wanted to cremate him is
his monument. So proud are the people of j
Harrisburj of this monument that the man
who first planted civilization in that region
will probably have no other, unless an icon
oclastic State Legislature provides for some
thing more pretentions.

The old 'camelback" bridge, which Dick- ,
ens embalmed in bis "American Notes," snd
which iscrowding rapidly along in its eighth
or nineth decade of attempted usefulness, is
another relic of 'be past that frowns on ths
piers of tbe South Penn. Harrisburg almt
lout this valuable adjunct to its antiquities
when the rebels made their raid over the
border into Pennsylvania It was feared
at one time the torch would have to make
an end of the relic to keep them out, but it
didn't. Some citizens of HarrUhurg. utterly
devoid of local pride and afflicted with pro
gressive ideas. hae never forgiven the Gray
coats from the Sjulh for not advancing far
enough lo make it an object to completely
cut Harrisburg off from the southern shore
of the Susquehanna
The South Ptnn Road wss designed to
parallel the Cumberland Valley railroad
through the rich Cumberland valley. Iron
and limestone, timber, and sandstone would j
have furnished freights that would have
been no mean addition to the rich agricul
tural products of the region. Tbe mineral
productions need just tbe stimnlus a strong
competing line of railway would give them.
Cumberland is historic territory. Taecounty
seat for a time was Washington's headquar
ters during the whisky insurrection. A
United States barracks was bnilt there by
Hessian prisoners during the Revolutionary
war and was long used as a cavalry school.
The rebels destroyed it on tbeir raid np tbe
valley. Shippensburg. tbe oldest town but
Yoik west of the Susquehanna, is at the
western end of Cumberland county, and
also on the line of the South Penn. Fort
Morris and Fort Franklin stood there in the
troublous French and Indian tim and the
place was a depot of supplies for Brsddock's
army when be started on his ill-fated West
ern campaign. The Cumberland county
conns nsed to be held at Shippenaburg and
their removal to York caused great excite
ment Tbe town ia in an agricultural coun
try and has State normal school. Dickin
son College is at Carlisle. Tbe whole Cum
berland valley is dotted with prosperous vil
lages, monuments to the sturdy Scotch-Irish
population that settled it and held it in tbe
last century against French and Indian
foes.
THE0CC.H THE SOLTnia.V TUB.
From the Cumberland valley the South
Penn's route was marked out across tbe rich
southern tier of counties, whose develop
ment and population is far in excess of that
country through which tbe Pennsylvania
railroad run in the days when it was first
constructed. Franklin, Fulton, Bedford,
somerset and Fayette crossed by tbs
right of wsy, which, tending northwest in
Fayette, crosses tlie southwestern section of
Westmoreland county to Port Perry, twelve
miles from Pittsburgh, where it meets ths
Vanderbilt system, the Baltimore & Ohio,
the Pennsylvania railroad, and tbe Monon
gahela slack-water. Here at Port Terry it
was to have made its connection with lbs
Vanderbilt system, which would bare given
it an outlet to tbe We-t.
Tbe late Dr. Huetetter formulated the
South Peon scheme in 1984. and interested
Andrew Carnegie in it. Then the Vander
bilts were brought to look favorably on tbe
matter, and unfortunately for tbe population
interested in tbe success of the South Penn.
acquired a controlling interest in it. Tbe
Pittsbarghers who put ibeir money into tbe
scheme to further tbe interests of the city
were hardly less fortunate, being compelled,
as is well known, to sacrifice V) per cer.r. of
their actual investment to tbe necessities of
the Vsnderbilts' New York interests. Dr.
Hostetter, at the time be conceived the
South Penn scheme, was Director in the
Reading, and interested that corporation in
it. His connection with the Wheeling 4
Lake Erie that secured the Western outlet is
well known. Everything st first looked very
favorable for tbe South Penn, and an actual
expenditure of S.j.0h0 was made on the
roadbed, tniiDels, etc. Then came the par
alleling of the New York Central by tbe
West Shore road, and this was nsed by tbe
Penasylvania railroad interests to strangle
tbe South Penn project. Tbe Vsnderbilu
squeezed in their own territory, gladly made
terms that ended the prospective formidable
competition to ths Pennsylvania railroad
interests.

The heaviest work bad been d.me. Fire
tunnels, each from a mile to a mile and a
half long, bad been almost completed. Nu
merous smaller ones bad been finished, cul
verts of solid masonry had been built and
nearly all the heavy filling had been com
pleted. Only the lighter work of grading
remained besides the completion of the
longer tunnels to make tbe roadbed ready
for tbe ties and rails when the expenditure
of millions was made of no effect by the
famous arrangement between tbe Vanderbilt
and Pennsylvania interests. Ruin and dis
couragement reigned all along the abandon
ed route. Property bad been enhanced in
value by the prospects of a trans: line of
railroad and changed bands on tbe inflated
basis. Innumerable small business plans
bad been formed by persons of small capital
and innumerable small investments made.
These were swept away by the breath of a
few railway magnates and prosperity was
changed to mourning. The last state of tbe
inhabitants of tbe southern tier of counties
was worse than tbe first, when they were as
yet undazzled by vain hopes.

The whole country through which the
South Penn's right of way passes is rich in
minerals, timber and sgricultural products.

Franklin county, through which
was to run after leaving Cumberland, is no
less rich. Numerous streams give good
water power to mills that send fl-iur to li'.
timore, Philadelphia and New York. Frank-
lin is a fins agricultural county and also j
boasts its iron furnaces, which might !e i
greatly extended. Tbe grist and Hour mil's j
number more than a hundred, and there are
10U to 150 saw mills. There are also woolen
mills, paper mills, a straw-board mill and
almost unlimited possibilities for industrial
development.
Scotch Irish was tbe first population of
Franklin county, followed by Ut-rmans.
Cbarcbersburg is tbe county seat, so called
after Colonel Chambers, wbo built a stone
bouse roofed with lead aa s protection
against the Indians when they became
troublesome after Braddock's defeat. Saw
and grist mills bad previously been estab
lished, and tbe bouses were enclosed in a
fort. After Braddock's defeat the Indians,
previously well disposed except when under
the influence of liquor, gave wsy lo their
savsge naturr, snd for several years their
slaughter of the whites form a painful chap
ter in the history of the country, t ranklin

war and tbe war of 1312, and suffered in the
wsr of tbe Rebellion, until at last under or
ders from General Kariy it was cruelly
burned by McCauslsnd on bis last raid in

this occasion was one of the most pathetic
features of the war. For the damage uone

last session of the Legislature is endeavoring
to obtain reparation from tbe general Gov
ernment. ma it boa d rictt-iTiits lackisg.
Fulton more than any ottrr county of the
group through which the South Penn passes
needs railroad facilities, which it utterly
lacks. The coantry is agricultural because
it lacks proper transportation facilities for
its industrial development. Timber is abund
ant, and large beds of ore only swait the
coming of railroads to develop them. Bitu
minous coal and limestone also abound. At
the county seat, McConneiisburg, where the
recent Sheriff" s rale of the South Penn fran
chise occurred, are some small furnaces and
Aianu factories of agricultural implements.
There are also tanneries, saw mills, grist
mills and woolen mills. Tbe only coal min
ed is for local use. and there is a tradirie-n of
a silver mine. Like the other counties cf
this region. Fulton county snfTereil much
from the Indians after Braddock's defeat.
Bedford county, the next throngh which
tbe South Penn route extends on its wsy
westward, cowtsins rich agricultural valleys,
and fine deposits of coal, Ifmestone and iron.
For fifteen miles in Bedford county the
route passes through tbe mineral lands of
Robert Hare Powell, on which are the fa
mous Sax ton furnaces. There are forests of
chestnut, hiexory, oak and sngar maple, and
bituminous coal ia worked on the Broad Top
mountain. Tanneries, woolen mills, etc..
Sourish in the various small villages that
dot the coun'y. Bedford, the county seat,
was originally Fort Bedford, named after
the Duke of Bedford. The town was laid
out by oriler of Gov. John i'enn in 17CC
Washington's headquarters were here for a
time during the whisky insurrection. The
early history of this region records the terri
ble slaughter of the Tull family by Indians,
and gives a name to Tull's Hill, six miles
from Bedford.
AWArrisr. r.ivrLormsT.
Somerset county, next to Bedlord on the
west, is" divided from it by Laurel Hill,
through which one of tbe long South Penn
tunnels ia cut. Coal, iron ore and lime
stone abound in the county, which is also
well timbered. Irairying is pursued, and
some leather and woolen gooil are manu
factured. Somerset contains in itself great
industrial possibilities, which tbe stimulus
of a trunk line would have done much to de
velop. Tbe riches of Fayette and Westmoreland
counties are too well known to all our peo
ple for further comment. The advantage
tbe South Penn would bave been to this sec
tion can only be spoken ef as almost beyond
imagination. It would have opened the
whole southern tier of counties, and brought
their wealth to the very doors of Pittsburgh
their immense deposits of iron, coal, lime
stone and timber anil would have develop
ed their agricultural possibilities and made
Ibe whole line of road hum with the noise
of industry.
