Th) High School Csmmsnesmsnt,
Tbe High School Commencement exerei.e
in tbe Opera HonseThursday evening oflast
week, drew one of the largest audiences of
the season. Every seat on the lower floor,
and in the gallery, was occupied. To say
that everybody was pleased with the prompt
nis with which Professor Cover carried out
the carefully arranged program, is only to
repeat what everybody says. Interesting as
werw all previous commencements, this last
one was an improvement on all former ones.
The music, so skillfully rendered by the F.u
terpean Band, and that of the cornet duet,
gave universal satisfaction, and greatly con
tributed to the enjoyment of the occasion,
while the vocal solos of Miss Mamie S. C.
Uhl brought the whole affair up to the
equal, if not the superior, of the most irr.W
rlit entertainments ever given in our town.
As to the performances of the graduating
clas, tbe general rerdict is that tbey all.
Without single exception, reflected jjreat
credit upon both tescheis and performers.
From the salutatory to tbe valedictory, in
cluding all tbe essays, orations and recita
tieiiis, not only good judgment was shown in
the selection of the subjects, but meritorious
literary ability was displayed in composing
them. One of the commendable. features in j
getting them off was the clear, distinct man
ner in which nearly every sentence was ut
tered. Instead of mumbling the words, so
as to be inaudible to half the audience, all
were spoken as words should lie spoken.
distinct and loud enough for everybody in
the hall to hear.
The topics discussed were so diversified
that monotony was rigidly excluded, hence
the patience of the large audience, instead of
being exhausted, was not even put upon a
strain. Frank Love's welcome words in the
salutatory : Eva J. Shafer's tribute to wo
manly women in opening her Pandora box,
Charley Endsley's palpable hits at the slow
coach processes of some of Somerset's Rip

crossing the Rubicon ; Carrie Rhoads's cap
ital sketches of the class ; Rob Beerits's I n
elercurrenls ; Mary Fleck's unique origin
al prophetic poem : Cieorge Benford's evolu
tion of life by an Algebraic process : the
cu-eness of the " Ich Dein " essay by Mary
Davis; and Mary Kooser's appropriate vale
dictory references made the occasion " a
feat of reason and a flow of soul."
liclieving in giving praise where praise is
due, too much credit cannot be bestowed
upon scholars, teachers, and trustees. Som

schools, from the primary department up to

mas, and by appropriate remarks by F. J.

For the Benefit of the Town.
If cleanliness is one of tbe req iisites to
wards securing and preserving the good
health of a town or a community, then.it
must be confessed that Somerset is in a bad
shsiw in that respect, at least, for the town
is about as dirty and filthy as it well can be.
For this state of affairs the citizens them
selves are largely to blarue. Many, perhaps
most of them, seem to think that the proper
place for them to dcosit the rubbish, waste
ani refuse of any sort that accumulates
about their places, is on the street. There is
no plaee hks tbe street for emptying tbe ash
pan. Do they clean up the yard or trim Kie
trees into the street generally goes the rub
bish. Does the family dog or cat happen to
pick up a button in his travels that gives
him a fatal spell of indigestion, into the
street or gutter, as often as anywhere else,
g sts hiscarcdss and so does much other ref
use matter that ought to be disposed of oth
erwise, t If course all citizens do not dispose
of their waste in this manner, but many from
whom better things might be expected do,
and they do it without any regard for the
ordinanevs. or how much of a nuisance it
may be to their neighbors, or to the general
pjblic.
Another trouble is the defective system of
drainage tbo only system being that of sur
tao drainage. Under some circumstances
and conditions this is well enough, and will
answer. But the town has grown too large
for any system of surface drainage to meet
the requirements of the situation, and as
long as surface drainage nlone is tleprnded
on. just so long will the gutters and streets
l in a more or less filthy condition, to the
detriment of the public health, and the in
jury of the town otherwise. It is admitted
that there is more or less waste in every
house-hold that must be got rid of in some
way, and as things now are tbe only way is
through the gutter and water Ubles. An
inspection of these will everywhere show
drains emptying into them from cellars, as
well as from kitchen, etc., and from these
list comes matter that speedily becomes
very offensive. Much of it may justly be
sustected of such a chamber that it should
find its way into the privies and water clos
ets, instoa I of the gutters. It is utterly im
possible to keep the gutter and water tables
in such a condition that all these things will
readily run off. There must necessarily
some of it remain to make them foul, and
bad -smelling.
It is evert strongly asserted that in one of
the largest busi'iess houses on Main Cross
street there is a privy, having a connection
with the cellar drninage, ami which latter
also receives part of the rain water from the
spouting fro u the roof, which washes all
this liith into the gutter on Main street,
at the intersection of Court alley with Main st.
If this is tru, is it any wonder that there
was sickness in the east end of town last
summer? And if such nuisatics as this
does exist in the heart of the town, some
way of abating it should be found. There
are som? pirts of the town in which the
present surl'-tce drainage may answer for a
time, bat in many parts a good under
ground sewerage system is imperitively de
manded. In no other way can the town be
kapl clean and healthy. Of coarse, an im
provement of this sort will cost money, and
a good bit of it, and we are wU aw trs of the
fact that if such a thing is once seriously
proposed, that a howl will be raised over the
great expense. But it is bound to come it
is only a question of time, and why not es
tablish such a system now, and reap the ben
efit of it at once. We have said that it was
not needed for all parts of the town at the
present time. Well, such parts need not
psy anything. Only those need pay who
get the benefit of such an improvement.
Perhaps some people may want to know
what steps should be taken to have proper
sewers bnill. Some people may be Interested
iu the matter. At least they ought to be,
and we will give them information on the
subject.
The lyegislature at the session of '80 passed
a law authorizing the town councils to have
them put down whenever three-fonrths of
the projieriy holders along a street would
sign a petition asking them to do so, and
gives them authority to assess tho cost of
the same on all tli3 owners of property
abutting on the street or line of the sewer,
and compelling then to pay it. For in
stance, let tbe people on tbe east end of
Main street who are flooded with all of the
waste and much of the filth of tbe central
part of the town, start such a petition, and
get all the signers they can, and come up
towards the Diamond with it, and if they
secure the required three fourths it can be
built, and all property holders can be com
pelled to connect their drains, whether cel
lar or kitchen, with the main sewer, and
thus have outlet for all their liquid waste,
and getting rid of it wilhont mak ing it a
nuisance to their neighbor. With a good
system of sewerage we would certainly place
the town in a better sanitary condition, and
that alone is worth the cost, and the town
would be the gainer otherwise.
Somerset has always been a favorite resort
for many city folks during the summer
months, but of late years the town has been
in such a condition that it is losing good
deal of in reputation as a resort.
There are other things which might be
mentioned in which improvement might be
made, and the town be all the cleaner,
healthier, and more attractive to those who
coma hera from abroad, and we hope that
our people will not neglect to brighten and
tidy op their places all around. X.
Before the Pardon Board
Remarkable Depositions In Be
half of the Nicely Boys.
The application of Joseph and David Nice
ly for a coramntatiem of death sentence to
imprisonment for life was argued before tbo
State Board cf Pardons on Tuesduy and
Wednesday of last week. The prisoners
were represented by their original counsel,
Wro. H. Koontx and A. H. Coffrotb, Erqs ,
of Somerset, supplemented by Lyman D.
Gilbert and S. J. McCarrell, two of tbe lead
ing attorneys of the Dauphin county bar,
whiie the intereets of the people were guard
ed by F. J. Kooscr. Esq., of Somerset, and
Hon. John Cessna, of Bedford.
Particular stress was laid upon the testi
mony of one Dr. O. K Brown, whose depo
sition was taken at Film Crove, West Vir
ginia, about ten days previous to the meet
ing of the Pardon Board, and which was
submitted to the Board to show that the
e-onviction of the murderers was due to a
trick of Constable John ltauch, the officer
who arretted them.
Dr. Brown savs: " I asked Rauch how be
convicted the Nicely boys. He answered :
'Easy enough ' I said: 'Did yon have any
peisitive evidence against them T He laugh
ed and said nothing. Again I said : 'How
did you get along with the bat and pocket
book that you got from the Nicely boys?'
He said: 'I will tell you, Blown. I fixed
the bat and wallet ; tbe hat I madea mistake
iu ; I got the bole in tbe rim and should
have had it in the crown. I fixed the wallet
so nice that one of the women swore that
she had not seen it for live years ami that
l"mterger carried it in his bootleg with $15.
O00 in it the greater part of the time and had
not soiled the stitches.' 'How did yon get
along with the two men's evidence that
swore they saw the Nicely boys on the pike
the night of the murder?' 'All right.' Ra-tch
replied ; 'I was only afraid I had got the
time too regular, but we knew tbe jurymen.
They were not the Nicely boys' friends, you
understand.' -Say, Rauch, what did you do
with the first advertisement when the wom
en described the murders?" He replied :
'Don't you forget it, I took good care that
none of them was brought to the trial.' '8ay,
Rauch,' I said, "you would not give away
those two innocent men for the sake of the
reward ; would you?' 'Yes. by , twenty,"
lie replied, and said further, 'Any man in
the world.'
To this absurd story counsel for the Com
monwealth answered:
1. Thai J. O. Rauch had not testified alone
to the condititin and apiearanee of the hat
and pocketbook, but was supported by
the testimony of Rufus Shaffer, Howattl
Camp and Jos. W. Ambrose, and the case
was fully made out if even Rauch were
omitted from the list of witnesses.
J. Raueh's election as constable ar.d his
commission showing his appointment as
special detective by the District Attorney,
with the approval of the court of tnis coun
ty, were offered as evidence of his character.
3. The rules of the Board of Pardons per
mit and reqtiire depositions to betaken with
in the county, and yet, with months of time
and two hearings actually had on other
questions in Somerset, tLey had failed to
cail, and had not dared to call, my witnesses
to assail his character.
4. That "Dr." Brown's deposition was
taken in violation of both the general rule
of the Board, requiring depositions to le
taken iu the county where the crime was
committed, and of the special rule for this
case, ordering that it betaken in Charleston,
W. Va , not later than 1st April, when in
fact it wss taken in Elm Grove, in a differ
ent county, on the 10th of April.
.o. That counsel for Commonwealth did
not know, and could not know, if the party
who appeared and testified before the Justice
in Elm Grove is the same fellow who in his
brief career of several weeks in our county
succeeded in getting himself in our jail for
crime charged.
0. That Brown is a wandering horse doc
tor, traveling this and adjoining counties,
Maryland and West Virginia, whose papers
stale he is from Boston, Mass , and whose
deposition fixes his home at Cleveland, O. ;
that iu his career of several weeks in this
county he succeeded in having a warrant
issued against him by Mr. William Baldwin
for procuring horse by false pretenses
and fraudulent representations, and Con
stable Raucb. in execution of this warrant,

studied effort at detail.
Lincoln Shaulis, in a deposition, also de
tailed an alleged conversation with Rauch,
iu which the latter said be bat! set tip some
of the essential evidence in the case.
A number of the most reputable citizens
of Somerset county furnished testimony in
depositions that Shaulis' character for truth
and veracity was bad in this county, where
he had worked at saw mills for number
of years. liefepdanU' counsel attempted to
establish his good character by witnesses
who had known him in Westmoreland
county, but cross-examination develoed
that most of these witnesses lived five or
six miles away from his father's home, while
many of them didn't know where his home
was, and that since 1S.H1 Lincoln Shaulis had
only been at home one summer, when he
assisted his father on the (arm, and on sun
dry brief visits during this period of nine
years, and in fact he had been a comparative
stranger to the neighborhood situe his boy -hotii).
A large number of petitions, signed by
people living along the line of the Pennsyl
vania and B. & O. Railroads, in Westmore
land county, praying for a commutation of
sentence, were presented to tbe Pardon
Board. The names of only a few, if any.
residents of Somerset county were attached
to these petitions. A number of commu
nications were submitted to tho Board
from lawyers in Westmoreland, Indiana
and Somerset counties, some of whom were
rrlainrd by the defendants, and none of
whom appeared in the trial of the case, ask
ing for a commutation of the death penalty
to imprisonment for life.

interest of the condemned. Tbe Board of
Pardons over a month ago received (letter
dated Chicago, and signed " F. 11. 8," in
wliich the innocence of the Nicely brothers
was proclaimed, and the writer's guilt was
admitted, and four unnamed persons were
implicated. There is no date to the last
letter, which is addressed to A. II. Coffrotb,
and reads thus : " I have learned you are
one of the Nicely brothers' attorneys, and I
can't abstain from writing on account of the
bunlen which is weighing opon me, but I
am confident the Nicely brothers are inno

Friday last Mr. Will rkkinff, Traveling
Passenger Agent of the B. & O. R. R. accom-
patiied by Geor-re and Boh, tbe two young
men who uso the seu-sors and paste oml
shove the peucils on this paper, left for
Baltimore, where they joined three other
gentlemen on a trip to Old Point Comfort,
Va , and thence to sea on a Pilot Boat. At
6 p. m. Saturday evening the little party of
six embarked on one of the Bay Line steam-
ere and were soon steaming down tbe Chesa-
peake at the rate of twenty miles an hour.
ne gen a better idea of the business done
In Baltimore from the deck of a muring
steamer than from any other point of obser
vation. A thousand vessels lay alongside as
many docks unloading and receiving car
goes that could not fail tolimpre tbe ob
server that Baltimoreg.sets'thcreJ just tbe
same although she don't boast much about
tbe great business she does.
These large steam vessels are "eye open
ers" to the country Jake who has never
been accustomed to navigating a larger bdy
of water than Kantner's dam. The cabins
are luxuriantly furnished with the most
inviting easy chairs and divans, handsome
paintings and ornamental carvings. The en
tire ship is lighted up by electricity. But
the most euticiting part about the boat is
the dining room. "Ob, let's talk about any- i
thing else than things to eat." All right, new U. 8. man-of-war Baltimore, completed

sun iieeped above the waves.
On the warf we were met by Captains
Coleman and Met 'lay and were conducted to I
their row boat near by and soon were bounce
itig over the foaming billows to the two
masted schooner pilot boat, Baltimore.
( nco on board tbe schooner all ham Is "cast
their eyes aloft to see what they could see
and there they espied the pretty fair ' rays
of "Old Sol" kissing the tops of the waves iu
the far east and painting them a thousand
brilliant colors. Captain Bjb Mcf'lay
"swore he never would tell" how many
suns he had seen come tip iu the heavens.
and he didn't strike tut as being excessively
modest, but he vowed thut he had nfverseen
a prettier sun rise than on that Sunday
morning.
The boat was soon gotten nnder way and
not long after nine o'clock we had rounded
Capes Henry and Charles and were well out
to sea. A mountaineer experience mighty
q jeer sensations just about the time he is
aixiut to pass out of sight of land. I wish I
could explain mine. But we got there, and
had not sailed far when we sighted the steam
pilot boat which headed for us and was soon
along side. A cumber of tbe pilots came
abroad pur craft and partook of a mild da
coction that the colored chemist, Isaiah,
skillfully aud rapidity compounded.
Tbe pilots of the Chesapeake bay have an
organization of about fjrty members. They
own the vessel our party was aboard, and
the steam vessel that we met. Tbe schooner
plies between Old Point and the capes, while
the steamer never comes inside. Under ex-
tsting laws no ship is permitted to enter
port without a pilot on board. The steamer
supplies the in-coming ships with pilots,
while ttie schooner in turn supplies the
steamer. The pilots are all young men of
good education and birtb, and most of them
are ready to retire from business when they
reach the age of fifty.
After tbe steamer left us we run within
two or three miles of shore, and as the wind
was unfavorable to return to the Point, cast
anchor. Tbe evening was delightfully warm,
and all bands whiled away the hours sing
ing and smoking. A breeze sprang up dur
ing the night, and before three o'clock Capt.
Coleman had his boat under way, and by
daylight we were in sight of Hampton
Roads. The deserted " ripraps" looked very
gloomy in the morning's grey, but the Gov
ernment school-ship "Jamestown," anchor
ed in front, was all alive. It was wash-day j
on board, ami the would-be sailor boys had i
the rigging filled with linen, which, at our ;
distance, looked like a display of the flags of ;
all nations. The great, silent guns ou the '
rortre-ss wans irowned down on us as we
sailed und'ar them, when further observa
tion was cut off by a call from Isaiah,
"break fas is rady. Mastah Captain." A
most delicious breakfiist of fresh sea fish.
crabs and oysters was served and dispatched,
after which all hands donned " biled shirts"
and went ashore, anchor having been cast
immediiktely in front of the Hygcia Hotel.
This hotel is an immense structure so large,
in filet, that invalid boarders are conqielled
to ride to the dining-room on horses, so far
is it removed from the sleeping apartments.
A large, open wagon conveyed our party
over tbe Point to historic Hampton, where
are located a United States Indian School,
and a Colored Normal School, in both
of which the boys and girls are taught
trades. The grounds and buildings are
kept in the same neat and cleau repair
that Uncle Sam keeps all his private posses
sions. The day was balmy and fair ; such
a one as we in the mountains are wont to
call rare in June. The roses in the gardens
were in full bloom ; the leaves on the mag
nolia trees more than half grown, while the
magnolias themselves were just about ready
to unfold their petals and send forth their
sweet perfume. Indian boys and girls
dressed in civilians clothes are no more of a
curiosity than are colored children, but
s iraehow or other '"Dan's" searching eye-s
discovered severat Pocahontases reposing on
the green sward.
Hamptot. is decidedly an interesting town,
and. one of its most interesting spots is St.
Paul's Church built by the English colonists
almost two hundred years ago. The edilh-e
itself shows no signs of decay and is kept in
excellent repair. After a half hour in the
churchyard, loitering among the grave
stones, reading the quaint inscriptions over
old fellows who have been under the ground
for'more than a century, we returned to Old
Point and went inside the Fortress. Fort
ress Monroe ia the largest and strongest
fortification owned by this government, and
contains several hundred acres inside the j
ramparts, aneeniirs ronress is surrounueu
by water, an artificial channel separating it
from the land, over which foot bridges are
suspended, that can hastily be removed in
case of an attack. Right inside the entrance
is the old bast ile iu which Jeff Davis was
imprisoned after bis capture. Members
of our party expressed themselves as not be
ing averse to soldiering provided tbey could
be stationed at Monroe during the term of
their enlistment. A light rain prevented us
from witnessing dress parade in the evening
and from making an examination of the I
guns. However they struck us as being too
heavy for fowling pieces.
The military band furnishes music in the
hotel ball-room six nights in the week, and
the scene of gayety it presents to the un
sophisticated eye is one long to be retuetn-
be red. After watching the merry dancers ,
till near midnight, onr party again repaired 1
on board the Baltimore, where a court mar- '
tial was at once convened to try friend
''Dan" on a charge of having left the boat '
without permission. Herr Lemeback was !
elected Judge Advocate, but further proceed- !
tags were cut short by the prisoner pleading !
guilty, and falling on his knees begging for j
time to say "my catechism." The sentence !
of the court, ' to be keel-hauled from stem I
to stern,' was indefinitely postponed, and j
all bands turned in for a good night's rest, j
