Their Last Hope Gone !
The Nicely Brothers Must Hang.
Th Stat Board of Pardons Refut
es to Commute Their Sentence.
When it became known on the street
Baturday evening that the Slate Board of
Pardons, at a special session of that body
held the proceeding day, had refused the ap
plication of David and Joseph Xicely, con
victed murderers, for commutation of
death sentence, a smile of approval and sat
isfaction screed over the countenances of all
our citizens, excepting a very few.
The efforta put forth to tare the necks of
tbeae two miserable men have been so
numerous and persistent that public interest
in their ease ha never been permitted to
lag for a day, and everybody bra been kept
on the alert to learn the next move that
would be made in their behalf. All endeav
or to create sympathy in.their later among
the sturdy citizens of this county have so
far proven futile and we doubt whether
criminal annals can produce a aimilarcase
where public sentiment has been so univer
sally one-sided. Since the hour tbe jury in
the case rendered their verdict the writer
has heard but one expression of belief in
the innocence of tbe convicted men, and that
cirne from one of tbe counsel employed in
their interest, nor can persons who have
followed up this now famous trial, cooceive
how the shadow of a doubt as to their guilt
can lodge in the mind of any intelligent
man or woman who beard the testimony or
subsequently read it in the columns of the
Hziilh.
Notwithstanding the preponderence of
evidence adduced at the trial againxt the
prisoners, the testimony of any two or three
witnesses of which might be eliminated
from the record and still enough remains to
demand a conviction, nothing has been or
will be le(t tiiidone to prevent the sentence
of the law from being carried into effect.
The conduct of the Nicely boys, since their
conviction, has not been of such a character
as to create an impression of their innocewr
but has on tbe contrary gone far towards
impress.in.'j their guilt and desperate char
acter on the citizens of tbe county. It is a
dittieult icattet for a peaces Die and law fear
ing people, to believe that innocent men con
demned to suffer death on the gallows,
would make a cowardly assanlt on the life
of their keeper. Another incident that points
towards the guilt f the Nicely boys, and
which has never before been given to the
public, oornred in the old jail just before the
prisoners were removed to Indiana.
lay-watchman Keifer, was engaged in
cleaning bis revolver in the main corriderof
tbe jail and was seated before a table in full
view of Joe Nicely 's cell.
"What kind of a revolver is that you are
cleaning, Will ? inquired Joe Nicely."
"A Herrington 4 Kichatilson," was the
watchman's reply.
"By G that's my pistol," said Joe, "I
paid $15, for it."
This confession, in an unguarded moment,
of ownership of the revolver, caa only be
rerard.d as further evidence of ruilt. It
will be remembered that on tbe trial of the
case it was maintained that Herman I'm
berger met his death by a shot fired from a
rentre-fire revolver. It was proven that Joe
Nie)y bad owned a revolver of that menu
facte re. and a number of cartridges nsed in
revolvers of that description were found in
bis beuse. Tbe revolver in the possession
of the watchman, to which Joe Nicely claim
ed ownership is one of the four found in the
county jail the day of tbeir attempted osce,
and is of Herrington & Richardson's manu
facture. The Board of Fardons is composed of four
members, three of whom are eminent
lawyers, and while their action was eagerry
awaited by the people of this county, there
was never any doubt expressed as to the re
sult of tbeir deliberations. It wiil require
but ooe more chapter to complete this hor
rible tragedy and that can only be written
after Genera Beaver, has set tbe day for
the execution of the condemned men and the
sheriffof the county baa carried tbe sentence
of the law into effect.
Anthony A. Nicely, tbe venerable father
of tbe prisoners arrived in Somerset short
ly aflr r noon Saturday, and held a consulta
tion with the attorneys for his boys He
left for I.igotiier, about four o'clock tbe same
day. Before having he said that lie would
gj to Harritfcurg Sunday.
When Sheriff Mack, of Indiana county,
wa notified of the action of the Pardon
Board in refusing to com mute the death
sentence of the Nicely boys, be at once re
paired to the corridor of tbe jail to apprise
thesa of the fact and to inform then that in
the future he would be compelled to keep
thera confined in separate cella. The Sheriff
says they both seemed very much "broken
up" at the news, and were visably effected.
Iave remarked "I have only once to die and
may as well die cow as again, but we will
die innocent men. We are not guilty."
After beirg locked up in srparate cells Iave
asked for a bible which the Sheriff farnijh
ed him, and a few minutes afterwards left
him perusing its sacred pages in the dim
light of his iron cell. Both Dave and Joe
have been very quiet since learning that
their last hope for pardon has vanished and
neither of them have made the slighest dein-
! cmtration.
The Indiana county authorities notified
the county Commissioners by telegraph Sat
urday morning that they had ordered the
Nicely boys confined in separate cells and
had arranged to put on a night guard.
The Indiana county jail is believed to be
absolutely safe and her officials promise to
deliver the Somerset cocnty prisoners con
fined there in good cooditioa when wanted.
No further effort can be made to save the
Jives of the convicted men until Governor
Beaver has fixed the dy for their elocution
when it ii possible that an injunction miy
be gotten out on Sheriff McMillen restrain
ing bim from carrying the sentence into ef
fe.1 until the question of the validity of the
order transferring prisoners convicted of
capital offenses from one county prison to
another has been decided by the Supreme
court of the State.
In commenting on the action of the Par
don Board the Johnstown TrAune says :
The action of tbe Pardon Board in refusing
a comruuta'ion of the death sentence in the
ease rf the Nicely boys will be received with
tatistoctioa by ninety-nine out of a hundred
persons who are familiar, with the tragedy,
the fair and impartial trial, and fee subse
quent proceedings by which their relatives
and cotiBsel sought to obtain clemency for
thera. Throughout Somerset County es
pecially the refusal of commutation will
carry s feeling of assurance that justice is not
yet dead, and tlong with its feeling of se
curity which could never have been enjoyed
so long as tbe horrible and cowardly crime
of the Nic ly boys went unpunished. It is
to be hoped thst tbe Governor will set as
early a day as is consistent with decency for
their execution, and the public be forever
done with the case.

Counterfeiter's Disposed Of.
Prom IlUsbanj Chronicle Telegraph.
John Henry Brisben.Sr., who was. arrested
charged with making counterfeit money, had
a bearing before United .States Commissioner
McCandiens Wednesday morning. He was
discharged.
Briaben L. the moil iuteiligent one of the
crowd whi.h was arrested by Tnited States
Marshal ilarrah. He listened quietly to
the Ut)Bony, ami scarcely seemed to real-
he tbfi be was a free man when Commis
sioner McCendless told him be could go
tome.
Secret Service Officer McSweeny was the
first witness railed. He testified that be ar
rested Briaben si his present home, about
one mile and a half from Hooversville, In
Somerset county. He searched the boos
and found a finely executed copper mold
for making silver quarters. In the bouse
now occupied by Bris ben's son, but which
one year ago was bis own residence, he found
moid for making silver dollars. It had
the appearance of having been recently used,
for part of the metal had broken off and still
adhered to the die. Ii the shop at bis new
home he found four sheets of copper of about
the thickness of the molds. He found no
money except at his son's bouse.
Secret Service Officer O'Dwyer testified
that on the &h of Fubruwy be was taken to
Brisben's house and was introduced as Tom
Griffin. Grirfin was dealing in the "queer"
and wanted to bny counterfeit money. Bris
ben said he bed none to sell but could fur
nish molds if Mr. Griffin desired them. He
could also furnish a recipe for making the
money aud mr.king it s well that it could
defv detection. Brisben (aid he could not
make the molds just then, for be had not
the material. He would have to send to
Pittsburg for it.
O'Dwyer also Uetifled that Brisben told
him that his new shop was not finished and
he could not make these molds unless he
could lock himself in so as not to be dis
turbed and detected. Afterwards O Dwyer,
under the name of Griffin, ordered three
mold?, one to make dollars, one for 50-cent
pic-es and one for quarters. For these three
molds he paid $15. He said he would write
to McKeesport when be was ready and
would sjieak of the molds as "pistols" io
the letter so no outside person couid cstch on
to what was being done. Tbe molds were
made, delivered and produced as evidence
O'Dwyer never saw him make counterfeit
money.
Commissioner McAindiess said there was
no testimony to show that Brisben made
counterfeit money, and accordingly dis
charged him.
Foiled States Detective McSweeny says
they bsd Bisben discharged with a view of
making a witness out of him.
Jeremiah Wilt had a hearing before V. S.
Commissioner McCandless. Wednesday, on
the charge of making and passing counterfeit
money. He was held in Jl.OJO bail to ap
pear at court for trial.
Wilt is a man of middle age and from tbe
country. He was most nervous during the
bearing and had but little to nay. It was
evulent that he was an ignorant farmer, and
it is doubtful if he knew be was doing
wroDjr w hen arrested.
B. K. O'Dwver.of the Secret Service of tbe

Thr Runanyi In Conemugh.

Jacob I. Kaufman. of Conemaugb
township, one of the roost widely
known and wealthy citizens of the
county, was driving down the Roxbury
hill on bis way to Johnstown, bis horse
started to run off. and breaking the bit was
soon beyond control. Mr. Kaufman was
accompanied by his wife, and before tbe
buggy reached the foot of the bill it was up
set and the occupants thrown out. The
horse ran as far as Grubbtown, where be
was caught. Mrs. Kaufman bad a bone in
one of her ankles broken, ber hip hurt, and

The Movabla Figure Arithmetical
Chart.
Mr. T. E. Meyers, of Garrett, this coun
ty has patented aa "Arithmetical Chart,"
an illustration and ilenrripiion of which we
find ia Tht World Pro'rctt, the description
of which we herewith reproduce:
The most prominent and exteniiveiy used
nW.irtm.nt of C 'ures ia addition, and it is
important that tbe scholiar shouid be well
drilled in the fxtrcires in order to rapidly
and unerringly foot op columns of figures
which occur on myriads of occasions in after
Bfe. In the other operations of arithmetic,
such as subtraction, multiplication and di
vision, there is far less figuring, generally
speaking, but the extent of coJtmns for ad
dition runs into the infinite. Now, If tht
pupil be required to write down all the col
umns of figures on the blackboard, simply
to add the figures and erase them to write
another series, it is evident that much time
will be wasted, aa tbe writing ia merely
manual. Ordinarily, the teacher ia suppos
ed to give out the figures tnat the pupU
writes down preparatory to adding. Here
with is shown a device which ia intended to
furnish an infinite snd inexhaustible supply
of adding columns without the necessity ci
time to write down the figures, and tue ng
ures, though plainly legible on the cliart. are
much more compact and extensive than
the written on the blackboard. This
invention is by an experienced educator
who has thoroughly can tassel the subject
and has brought out this admirable device
as the most practicable, comprehensive and
thoroughly beneficial. The essential feat
ure of the device coositts in s series of tbin
light slats, each slat bring perferahly abont
7 feet in length and divided into 1 1 divisions
on which figures are stamped or printed,
leaving blank ends that are to be inserted
within the vertical standards of the frame
support. Each slat has a pin passing
through tbe standard by which it is secured.
These slats are placed one above another to
any extent, say 5". GO, 72, more or lees. AU
'! lifin in uosition. it will be seen
that a large number of columns are presen
ted in a clear, legible form for the class to
exercise. Both aides of the slat may be
figured in varying order and made available
in augmenting variety. Prevision is made
for drawing the slats one by one, snd as
many aa desired, across to the second divis
ion of the frame. An intermediate vertical
bar is placed on the horizontal rods of the
frame, and tbe bar is perforated t attach
the slats, which are partially drawn out. It
is evident that the movement of one or
more slats by degrees will change the col
umns, and the variations will extend into
infinity. Tbe device is so constructed ss to
be readily taken apart and compactly secur
ed for carrying, weighing but a few pounds,
and the instructor in charge of classes in va
rious localities will have no difficulty in con
veying the apparatus. This device should
by all means be placed in every school in
the county, ss it is of unquestionable utility.

Editos HxaaLD: I notice an article in
your papier of last week copied from the
Pittsburgh Sunday Dlpolck which contains
a misrepresentation insofar as it says, in re
gard to John Sipe, one of the alleged coun
terfeiters arrested at Stoyestoan, " ia a resi
dent of Sipesville, a hamlet about ten miles
from Somerset and a descendent of the old
man for whom the place is called." John
Sipe ia not a relative to the founder of the
hamlet of Sipesville and was never a resi
dent of Sipesville or the viciuity.
