It n?eds must be a thief of lowest charac ter who would enter the domicile of a c!er pyman for the purpose of robbery, but such a scoundrel was in :hitown Sunday and visited the Ii?cpl parsonage while the good Elder was delivering his evening dis course. The house was ransacked from cel lar to garret t by the rascal, who was evi dently in search of money, of which same he found none. A neighbor observing a light moving mysteriously about in the parsonsge crossed the street to investigate, whereupon the thief beat a retreat, carrying with him only a few trifles and th goad Elder's side-arms, consisting ot one "Hoxs icr" pistol of no great value.

The story goes that a young roan employed by Oeorge Kimmell, one of the republican nominees for Commis sioner, was engaged in hauling baled hay Saturday from Mr. Kimmell't bam. He bad the wagon heavily loaded bat did not have the bales secured to the bed. The young man was perched on top of a bale driving a spirited team, and while crossing a breaker the bale tilted, precipitating the driver between the horses, the bale falling on top of him. The team ran away, drag ging the young driver a considerable dis tance, when the horses broke away from the wagon. He was found a short time af terwards, lying uncoiiscious in the roadway. His head was terribly crusheo and one of his arms broken. II was carried to Mr. Kiramell's house, where be is lingering in a very critical condition. The Nicely Brothers. It begin to lock that the whole Nicely business up at Somerset will go down in his tory as a miserable farce ; that is, in its clos ing scene. Notwithstanding a refusal for a new trial, the actii.n of the Supreme Court in declaring that there were no reasons for reversing tLe decision of the lower Court, and the Pardon Board failir.g to discover any grounds for interfering with what the jury d;d, the proverbial "law's delay" seems to'roaUe it probable that the "neck tie party" that was to be witnessed in Somerset will never ta ke place. Eveu if tbe rardoii Board on the lihof this month shculd confirm their former act. a good uiauy shrewd law yers th'ttk that Governor Beaver will not sign ttie death warrant. If he does not, hia siu-ccs-sor hardly will. JiJuadowit Pcntvirat. A Dangerous Crossing. Charles Lohmin, a German firmer who lives on the Bedford pike (our miles east of town, hail a very close call Saturday after noon. He was driving an old gray horse hitched to an old time" rockaway " bittyy, and was within a few feet of the 3. .t C. B. K. crossing, at the foot of Main street, when a freight train came thundering along at a hiL-h rate of speed. The venerable horse be came thoroughly frightened and plunged madly forward into the approaching locomo tive, only tn be picked up by the pilot and hurled thirty or forty fe.-t to the sid! orthe track. The luyse received a number of ugly cuts and bruises which, if they do not ter minate in the beast's death, will badly crip ple him. The harness was tra to tatters, w bile the buggy was scattered along the track tn small pieces. How Mr. Lob ma u escaped without serious injury is a mystery, and that he thotild escape withjut sustaining a scratch conld hardiy be realized bv persons who witnessed the accident. People living along the r.iilros 1 track tell us that engineers rarely, if evf r. blow the required signal for crossings in the borough limits ar.d that the borough ordinance regulating the speed of trains is violated hourly, in fact by every train that passes over the road. It is the duty cf the town authorities to investigate this matter and see that the ordinance is complied with before lose of life results. One of the Governor's Letters. Mabel Croniae Jones, writing to the Pitts burg IKijMtcli.irata. Harrisburg. under the caption rA.Uwvanior's MaH" says'. There are some phases of a Governor's life which no private citizou would be inclined to en joy. The price paid for Gubernatorial honors is high, after all. Bespite tbe boasted intel ligence of the great Commonwealth of Penn sylvania, there is a sujrabuudance of super stition and ignorance.' There are as many cranks to the square inch in this State as in any other. Many of these cranks are aimost destitute of education, but some of them manage to get np illy-spelled, illy-punctuated and iily-capiuliaed letters and these they send to the Governor. Hera is a blood curdling epistle 1 BnviE, April 21, liOO. 1 want to tell you that I am a bitter ene my of jours.

Correspondence and inspection of herd so ikited, Meyersdale, Pa.,, j ) DAVE KIEELK'S EQSFESSIBS. He. Proposes to Make it to Sheriff McMillen Under Cer- Lain Conditions. Wanted It Published In Pamph- .let Form and Sold for ' His Benefit A Last Effort to b Made to Have the Pardon Board Set Aside the '. Judgment of the Court. Encouraged, no doubt, by the inexplicable delay on the part of Hia Excellency, Gov ernor Beaver in naming a day for the exe cution of Joseph and David Nicely, convict ed of the murder of Herman Cmberger in May, 1359, and resting under the sentence of death lor over s year, the relatives and friends of the condemned men have deter mined to make a last desperate effort to save their unworthy necks from the hangman's noose by petitioning the State Board of Par dons to grant them another hearing on their application 5t pardon, or commutation of sentence. The monthly meeting of the Par don Board will be held at Harrisburg on Tuesday of next week. To be used iu sup port of their application for a rehearing, depositions were taken by counsel for the prisoners at Ligonier, Confluence and Som erset during the past ten days. Tbe only evidence of any consequence bearing on the case adduced at any of these several hear ings, in tact tbe only thing pointing direct ly to the guilt or innocence of the convicted men that baa transpired since their trial, saving, perhaps, their deadly assault op-on Deputy SherilT McMillen at the time they made their reckless attempt to escape from prison, was disclosed by Sheriff McMillen at the bearing at Mr. Kooser's office Friday morning. We append th Sheriff's testimo ny in full, and leave our readers to draw from It their own conclusions. The aged father of the murderers was In constant attendance at the different hearings and has been unceasing and untiring in his efforts to procure evidence of the innocence of his Inhuman sons, and to save them from their shameful rule. wuxsj Tni orn soot was balv solid. At the bearing before Esquire Griffith, Dave Nicely' wife and her sister, Silvia Mc K en tie, test i tied that Silvia went to' Dave's house about a week after the lftb of Janu ary, IS) (the murder having accurred SI Feb I, and that Joe came to liave's several days aSer Silvia's arrival there, to have a leather sole put on a gum boot ; and that both these women saw Dave put on the boot sole. Th 19th January was fixed by the birth of a child to Dave's wife on that day. Joe himself testilied on the trial that the one sole was put on ten days before his arrest, and counsel for the Commonwealth exhibit ed the boot to tbe jury and claimed it bad keen worn little, if any. Dave's wife was present at the trial but said nothing then about the soling of this boot. Laura Mcllvaine testified that on Tuesday of court, just after dinner, at the Somerset House, Ella Stern told her tbe tall man had a red mustache and red hair, and the small man was so well masked she could not see what he looked like, and that she told Ella they had black hair and black mustaches. Her husband thought the conversation was on Monday. Mrs. Mcllvaine on crose -examination did not know thai Ella Stern had described the defendants before at Esquire Bauch's on the preliminary hearing, and before Judge Baer 011 the kahcu corpus hear ing. Her conversation with Ella was only of 10 or 15 minutes' duration, and she had never seen her before. - rar cavABAi-i.a bobs cr. Jacob Payne, a brother of Lewis Payne, who testified 011 the trial, said Noah Horner said he was just as sharp a man as his daughter Nannie was a girl, and it took hard teaching to make ber mind the things she 1 saw. And Patrick Cavanaugh, who ia the happy days of the South Peon work dwelt about tbe Laurel Hall tunnel and did busi ness to bis own pleasure there, testified that on the 27th of. February he was in s buggy with one Rambusky, traveling from the coke works some where about Mt. Pleasant ; that when he came to the water trough near Ligonier at 4 o'clock that evening, he turned hia horses about to return home. He saw David Nicely then and there, a few rods off, but did not speak to him, He had know a him before as a barkeeper in Ligonier. Pat rick said he was buying cattle that day ; that he bought none, but priced some at four or five places, but could not name any one from whom he had tried to buy. He knew it was the 27th because Rambusky charged far the team that day, and k new it besides. Rambusky did not appear as a witness. THIT ALL KttSW CEACH. It will be remembered that we published an extraordinary paper some weeks ago, al leged to be a confession of one John Beach that he and a man named Miller murdered Herman Cm'jerger. It was hard then to understand tbe rery peculiar fact that this would-be confessor began bis story by giv ing an aceonnt of Liseifort to get a skiff at Kansas City away back in 171), and follow ed it with an account of his wanderings thereafter until ttie murder. All this of course had nothing to do with the murder, and was hardly to be looked for in an ordi nary, oomtnon place, square ap and down confession."1 - ' ( ! At Confluence on the 3rd instant witness es were called 10 prove that there was such a man asJohn Beach in Gaylor Kansas, In IH7 ; that he, with. Jasper Mountain, James Mountain, Amos Sipe of Fayette county and Wm- Burkholder ot Draketown this county expressed their satchels to Scott.lale, and started a foot, and by freight trains for the east. Beach waa from Iowa, the others from Pennsylvania. They trudged along to gether U Atchison when the Mountains left them, and the rest went together to Kansas City. Here Beach told tbem to go below the City and he would get a skiff and meet them down the river at 9 o'clock that night. They went and waited until 11 o'clock but Beach did nut come and from then until now their eyes have not seen him, nor their ears heard of him except through this con fession. They came east and front tbence-tur-.b Beach is a missing man. -Just the sort of ctorsctw needed fcr some one to tie s con fession U. . . ' On cross-examination they admitted they had talked about the occurrence of their Irip west, one of them (Sipe) saying "it was a big thing to talk about them times." Burk holder produced a picture of Beach, which he said he had kept In bis album at home for .several years where it was inspected by the neighbors and that he often explained who the man Is. From this it seems the story of Beeche's mysterious disappearance has been floating around the Dracetown and Mill Bon" region r some years, sM easily supplied a seady suade, cut-am Wrfcd hero for this wonderful eonfissi'- . 3 It explains for itsvlf also the reason for begining the story at the point where Beach started for tbe skiff in H79. Tbe witnesses described the man Beach they traveled with in Kansas aa 8 feet tall or over, 33 to 40 years old, bald headed, thin hair, heavy beard and dark sandy heir, i Tbey also proved that in the latter part of July l)a stranger appeared In Fayette connty, and went to James and Jasper Mountain and talked shout the Jficely case and said their story oorroiwwated Beech's confession sod asked if they thought tt would be right to give a statement to let guilty parties escape, ar.d wound np by say ing he knew of fifty men who would give $.i or $10 a piece not to have that corrobora te! testimony.' This man disappeared and the witnesses Samuel E, Leonard and James Mountain could not give bis name as evi dence, but he offered to sell a buggy or an organ and asked the road to 'Bakersvills. Jasper Mountain did not appear to testify. 'hJtRX KI5U TEStirilS. The deposition of Elijah P. King Esq., of 3Iiddlecreek township, tne Justice before whom BeaUi owore to Li alleged con less io"J was taken in Somerset on Friday. Ha raid on Sunday evening June 8th, a man came to his boase, about dusk and asked to be swera to a paper. The Justice told him it wasSuc day and not a day So administer oaths and that he should stay with him-over nigM. Tha stranger declined this hospitable invita tion ar.d insisted opon tbe oaih being ad ministered. He produced the paper with his signature attached and the Justice swore him to the truthfulness of its contents. For tbis the stranger offered to pay and pulled out a large pocket book filled with bank notes from which he extracted a five dollar bill. The Justice could not make the proper change and the stranger then handed him a silver quarter. He then asked Mr. King to keep the paper (or him tilt morning and took his departure. The justice had never seen 0e man before, and described him as being a man of about fifty years of age and weighing from 175 to 130 pounds. In fact he thought he bore a strong resemblance to the man - whose photograph had been produced by one of tbe witnesses whose deposition was taken at Con fluence. After dinner Monday the Justice concluded to examine the mysterious package left with him on tho preceding evening He opened it and found that it contained a note j asking that it should be tent to the Nicely 's. He mailed it to General Coffroth. Tbe paper wae produced and wss the rediculotu alleged confession of Beech published in the Hxeald some weeks since. On cross-examination Justice King said that be lived near the Fayette county line, about 12 miles from Mill Run and that he was acquainted with Wm. Burkholder, James Mountain and Joseph Mountain, but had not seen any of them recently. Hia family consisted of his wife, a son aged 15, a , daughter aged 17 and another daughter aged It, but all of them denied having seen his mysterious visitor that Sunday evening, nor did any cf the many neighbors living along the various roads leading through that section ever speak of having seen this strange, conscience-stricken, self-accused criminaL days mciLT orrxas to icvial all hb mows, 'ir asvTHiaaf The only deposition taken on part of the Commonwealth was Sheriff McMillan's, ia which he declares Dave Nicely 't offer to make a confession upon certain conditions. The deposition was taken before Justice Lint Friday morning, K. 3. MciliUen, sworn Examined by Mr. Kooser : I am Sheriff of Somerset county, and have been since first Monday of Janua ry, livS ; bail Joseph and David Nicely, con victed of the murder of Herman Umbergcr, in my custody in tbe summer of I.s-sO; on the pith of September I took a woman to Dixmont ; I returned home at noon on the 17th ; M. R. McMillen was my deputy at that time ; when I came borne I (bund him in bed in a very critical condition, sufferiug from gunshot wounds ; couldn't say wheth er there were one or two wounds ; I learned from Joseph and David Nicely, who inflict ed the wounds ; Joe told me bs did the shooting, but that it was unintentional ;that the revolver was discharged in the scuffle they had in the hall ; he said it occurred in the hall in the dwelling, outside of tbe jail, y. Did David Nicely send for you after this, and how socn after this occurred ? A. Yes, sir, David Nicety sent fr me, but I don't re member bow soon ; they were confined in separate cells at the time David sent for me ; previous to that they were together ; I went to David Nirely's cell when sent ur ; there was no one else in tbe cell ; when I went in be said I have a paper or .instrument of writing here I want to show to you, and handed me the paper ; I read it, and banded it back to him ; I never saw it afterwards ; I asked him about it once afterward in the presence of General Koontz ; he said he had destroyed it; I have never seen it since, and don't know where it is: Q. State what the contents of that paper were J ... (Objected to, because there is not sufficient evidence of the loss of the paper to warrant parole testimony as to its contents, and no notice having been served Oiif the defendant or his counsel to produce the a$er. A. I can give tbe subs tan us if the paper, but not tbe wording of it ; jt was written on f, half-sheet ot fool's cap paper, and filled it np ; he wrote a coarse nana ; 1 wrote a copy of it a short time after and mislaid it, but I have everything clear in my mind so far as the substance is concerned ; I have written out another statement of the substance since I have been subpo naed, in pencil, which I have here. Q. How did the paper start ? A. It was dire ted to R. S. MciliUen. Sheriff of Somerset County, Pa, ; It began, I do here by agree that I will tell all I know concern ing thel'mberger murder, (if anything) on certain conditions hereinafter to be named : XAK.ES K-50W5 HIS C05MTIOSS. First, That you will use your best efforts to have me pardoned, or seutence commuted to imprisonment for life. Second, That if any of my friends should be implicated, that you will use every effort to protect them. " , Third, That I will, write all I know con cerning the Cmberger murder (if anything) to be published in pamphlet form, for my benefit. . ' Fourth. I will not agree .to any of the above without first bavin-' a consultation with my father and mother. Signed David Nicclt. The portion I recollect as being his exact words is from the beginning down to tbe word anything ; then the conditions came in afterwards, and I am satisfied in my own mind that I have given the substance of tbem. This paper was shown me a week or so after the 17th of September, lSa3. Cross-examined by Gen. Coffroth : This paper that I have here now was written within tbe last few days ; Dave did not say that he would not make any statement un til after be was pardoned ; he may have been worried at that time, but seemed to be very calm ; he said that be regretted the attempt to escape, and opposed it from the very start ; I did not tell him that he bad better make a revelation of what he knew of the murder ; I don't know that any persons went into the jail for the purpose of entrapping him into making any declarations ; I don't know of Dr. Tannehiil being in. - . TUB LAST SPAKK or IIOPB. Re-direct. tj. Did David .Nicely send for you at a later period? A. Yes, sir, he did ; shortly before their case was argued in the Supreme Court, or before the Pardon Board, I am not positive which. It was on Sunday evening. Q. What did he ask yon then? A. He said be was informed that I was going to make an affidavit concerning the instrument of writing he had shown tne. I told him that was not correct ; that I had not been suhpu naed to make an affidavit. Q What did he reply to tbatt . A. He said I did not think you would try to destroy the last spark of hope I have for my life. This was the last conversation I had with him in regard to this paper. The Supreme Court met in October. The prisoners were taken to Indiana on the 30th or 31st of March, Re-direct. Q. How many conversations do you recollect of having with Dave in re gard to this paper A. I only rt collect three. First, when Be showed me tbe pa pers ; second, in presence of General Koontz, when he said it was destroyed, and third, when he spoke of my making an affidavit. i Justice of th Peace, and Consta bles, Recollect that when yon come to Court you will want to drop Into Fisher's Book Store, and bny your snppfy of summonses, deeds, judgments, marriage certificates, and other legal blanks.
