"Friday morning bi skin had tsroed almost black, and it make tiim look like an entirely different man from tbe smiling, good-looking fellow he used to be. It (the death warrant) haa made a woe desful change in his appearance. HU face was bleached white s a sheet up until Thursday, bat it is altogether different color now. He still tries to pot on a bold front and says that he ha not given up hope, and tbat he believes tbe new Board of Pardoaa will commute the sentence to life imprisonment, or that something cnlooked tot will turn np to prevent the sentence being carried into effect. I don't think be believes what he says, but you know "' a drowning man will clir.g to a straw," and it is possible be finds some comfort in trying to delude himself. - Dave is the most miserable looking man I ever saw in my life. His face is the ery picture of distress and is as white as the snow on the ground. He has given cp all hope: seems to think tbat everything has been mismanaged, and, I believe, is earnestly preparing himself for the next world. His mental suffering must he well tiigh unen durable, and taken in connection wiih his bodily suffering it wouldn't surprise me if he is in bis grave before tbe second day of April rolls around. " It makes my blood run cold." he con tinued, "every time I look at these two men. Both are good loukiiig and pleasant :can nered and possess more than average intelli gence, and it is hard to believe that they would commit murder. Their poor old father mas in to see them Friday and tried to brace up their courage, but Dave didn't apptar to be any happier after an interview with hire.

Removing his hat, be drew a large of ficial envelope from tbe inside pocket of his coat, remarking as he did so, "Well, David, I have the death warrant."

J. H. LOXGENECKER, Secretary of the Commonwealth. By the Governor. The only manifestation the prisoner made while tbe death warrant was being read was a nervous drumming he kept up with the fingers of his left hand on his side. He never turned his eyes from the rear wall of the cell on which he had rivited them when the Sheriff entered and never Tentured to rpeak until ex Sheriff McMillen inquired how he was feeling, when he replied in a steady voice. "I'm getting along very we'L" A minute later when tbe Sheriff picked np his hat !o go the prisoner said : "If they execute me it will be for what seme one else did. That's what 1 said first and that's what I My tew.'' The little knot of spec tators looked at each other ia amazement as nearly all bad expected to see Dave who ii regarded as by far the weaker brother of the two b:ei completely down ander the trying ordeal. Joe Nicely's cell i only two removed from the one occupied by his brother and he could hear every word that was said there. "e was lying on his bunk, covered up with ii.-i. 1 : 1 t i:. : a - L. "" " official notice of bis doom and did not stir until sfter the Sheriff had entered his cell and remarked, "I have tbe death warraat." "I knew yon had it," said Joe in a sub j dued tone, at the same time sitting np I straight in the bank. He placed his left hand under his chin, while the right was j spread out behind him. Tbe Sheriff took i the death warrant from bis pocket and read it clearly and deliberately. Once or twice while be was reading the prisoner yawned wearily, bat nude no other manifestation. He ventured no remark at all nnul asked how he fas feeiiag wbeo he replied very cheerily that he was getting along all right. His face was deathly pale and showed very plainly the suffering he has endured the past few weeks. He never tamed his eyes tow ards the gentlemen wbo were present and was apparently oblivious to the awfid im port of the paper read to him. Many people are inclined to believe that Dave Sicely told tbe truth when he said, "if they execute tne it will be tor what some one else did." According te the evidence it was Joe Sicely Tha fired the ballet that killed farmer lTmberger while hi brother Dave sat listlessly by, warming his chilled body at the hospitable country fireside. Jje Xicely U was too who 6 red two leaden halls into the body of Depqty Sheriff McMillen and only the merest accident prevented bis having to answer for that cScer's murder. People generally believe that all the plan ning and scheming of the murder and sub- stquent attempts to escape have been the j work of Joe and that Dave was omy dupe in his bands and feared not .to do bis bid ding. There is a great deal more sympathy expressed for Dave than there is for his brother. Ia case the Nicely hoys are executed the County Commissioners will be saved the ex pellee of erecting a gallows, since the new jail is provided with a pair of death traps. These nnfortnnate men hare already put the connty to an expense of over i6,ts0. c Anthony A. Nicely, of Ligonier, was In town Friday and had an interview with bis sins in jail. The conversation took place in the presence of a Drpaty Sheriff. ft a .Near the last hour in the hut day of his term Governor Beaver signed tbe warrant which semis to an ignominious death th condemned murderers ot Herman Cmberger. Never, prhs;w, in the history of crime have murderers bad a fairer trial or a f jUer hear in?. Everything that could be done was done, and with rare patience the Pardon Board and the Executive have listened to the persistent appeals of the brother' elo- Quent counsel. No stone was left unturned to save them. They had the advantage of powerful friends who seem to have believed in their innocence, and the greater advant age of money with which to purchase the beat services of the most able lawyers. Twice they escaped, one of their experiences being Ur worse than death. Justice was slow, but ever on their heels, and at last has overtaken them J.tm-H Z ibnne. Jotn L. Butler, F.j., of Harriabrtrg, one of the counsel 6r the Nicely brothers, and who presented their case to Governor Beaver asking for Executive clemency, is spending a few days in the city. He says that the Gov ernor action in signing the death-warrants of the Nicelys was not much of a surprise to him, but that he has not abandoned all hope lor his client?, for be will carry the case to the new Board of Pardons. Pitttbwrak Com- e The condition of the Nicely brothers, in the Somerset jail awaiting execution, would be pitiable were they not the desperate criminal that they are. It does not seem very likely that tbe suspense they have had to endure will drive tbem crazy. If their past records coui.t for anything it would seem a fair conclusion to say they were not built on the plan of men likely to go insane under the circumttances. Pituljtujh Port. The Pittsburgh Ti.ua says that Alderman Btipp, of Allegheny, has received an order for two ropes to be used ia banging ths Nice ly brothers. At tbe present time he is niac in g four ropes, which will be used in bang ing as many murderers in different parts of the state. When be has finished these six ropes it will make an even one hundred he has made. m e Isdujh, Pa.. Jan. 3'. Shortly after the attempted escape and recapture of tbe Nice lys at Somerset. Joe Nicely claimed that he had fa wed I lie bolls in his cell while con fined ia tin county Jail in Indiana, Sheriff Mack and the board of Commiaaiooers made an examination and found nothing wrong. Since bis assuming the office, Sheriff H. P. Lewis has received a letter written by one who evidently knows whereof he speaks, in which it is stated that the writer knows that the rivets in the cells of the condemned men were sasred ctf. The SeriffandCommisaion er Cameron to-day made another examina tion and found six rivets which had been cut. They entered the cells and by poand ing on tbe rivets with a hammer the heads of sii of them dropped off. Two of the rivets had been entirety sawed off and were glued on with molasses: the others were slightly attached. As the interior of the. cells is painted white the heads of the rivets had been carefuiiy covered with white tissue paper to conceal tbe scratches and marks.

The wonderful popnlarity of the Pennsyl vania tours to tbe Golden Gate is best illus trated by the fact that the full complement of passengers for the first, starting on Feb- rUAry 7th, registered six weeks before the date of the tour. The space in the first train being all taken engagements are now being made for the remainder of the series. The second tour, fixed for March 4th, is an exceedingly desira ble one, on account of the interesting route traversed, as well by reason, of the fact that its members are in California at what many consider the moat diligitful season of the year. Eastern people w ho denire to see the Golden Coast in Us most attractive garb could not choose a mare desirable opportu nity. Names are being registered very rapidly for the second tour, and those who wish to make their gjing certain should apply at once for tickets. The magnificently appointed train, pre senting all the com forts of home or hotel, is not the least conspicuous feature of these great transcontinental trips. For itineraries and tickets apply without delay to Geo. W.
