TRUNK LINE.
The Reading's Western
Branch.
Mrs. W. H. Ruppel was laid to rest at 3
o'clock Thursday afternoon, in the Lutheran
cemetery. A large number of people, many
of ihem from a distant, were present to pay
their respects to the departed. Btfore pro
ceeding to the cemetery devotional exercises
were held at the residence by Rev. Harkey,
pastor of the somerset Lutheran church, as
sisted by three or four ministers of the same
denomination, from other parts of tbe coun
ty. Trof. Cliff. Hellley, of Pittsburgh, a
nephew of Mrs. Ruppel's, presided at the
organ and played a voluntary with such
feeling that all who heard were touched.
The Road will Csnnrct with the West
ern Saryland tad B.A 0.
Philadelphia will havea new line to Pitts
burgh and the west to morrow, when the
Philadelphia. Harrisburg and Pittsburgh
Railroad, as the extenaian of tbe Reading
beyond Harrisburg is called, will be opened
for business. Tbe completion of this new
line marks the defeat of tbe conspiracy by
which the Pennsylvania Railroad strangled
tbe South Penn road and attempted to kill
all competition with its own line between
the Quaker City and the west. For all tbe
money which the deal with the Vanderbilts
cost it, it now has only to show tbe half-fin-nished
tunnels of tbe South Penn road and
the bridge piers in tbe river at Harrisburg,
while tbe Reading has the line to the west
which Its rival tried totshut It out of.
The last rail of the new road was laid Sat
urday afternoon. A handsome new passen
ger station will be built soon at Harrisburg
for tbe different branches of tbe Reading
centring there.
The new line, which is virtually a continu
ation of the Lebanon Valley branch of the
Reading railroad, leaves that branch about
half a mile east of tbe passenger station in
Harrisburg, and passing through that city
by means of a handsome elevated structure,
crosses the Susquehanna river on a splendid
bridge, but a few feet distant from the unus
ed piers of the South Penn road. From the
south aide of the river about ten miles of
new road have been constructed to How
mansdule, in Cumberland county. At that
point is reached the old Harrisburg and Po
tomac railroad formerly a feeble dependen
ency of the Reading, which never paid oper
ating expenses, but which has recently baen
rebuilt and put in good shape.
This takes the Reading system to Sbip-
pensburg, where connection is made with
tbe Western Maryland Railroad. This con
nects with the Baltimore fc Ohio at Hagers
town, Md., now, but it is building a short
connecting link from Williamsport to Cher
ry Run, W. V., which will effect a saving of
a nuniler of miles. By way of tbe l'.alti
more and Ohio the Reading will get to nlj
the territory reached by that road. The new
line will be operated as a part of the main
line of tbe Reading, and ail movements of
trains will be regulated from the office in
Reading.
Tbe importance of the opening ofthis new
line for Philadelphia lies in the fact that it
will give to this city those benetits of couipe
tion which the South Penn road was
South Penn road was planned to give.
It opens a new route to the soft coal and
coke regions ofthis State, and will also give
tbe Reading southwestern outlet for its
anthracite coal, which it has long needed.
In connection with the Baltimore and Ohio
and its new acquisition, tbe Pittsburgh and
Western Railroad, the new route will ojien
up a new route from this city to Chicago of
about the same length as the Pennsylvania.

At 9:3" Tuesday morning, a frightful acci
dejit occurred at Garrett, resulting in the fa
tal injury of one person, and seriously injur
ing two others. It occurred at the main
crossing, near the station. Just as the train
started out over the " Y " trestle, a wagon
containing a twelve year-old son of Cornelius
Judv. and two vountrer .brothers, a son of
Eli l'hinecy, also a lad of twelve, and Mr.
James Hoover, attempted to cross the track.
The horses balked, and refused to go fur
ther. The two younger boys, just before the
accident, called, " The train is coming !"
and jumped. Before the others coujd follow
their example the engine was u"ion them,
throwing the wagon over the embankment
and seriously injuring the three occupants
and the horse. Young Judy died an hour
later. The Phinecy lad was cut and bruised
about the scalp, but will recover. Mr. Hoov.

Recently a Maryland village was the
scene of a tragedy similar to that for which
tbe Nicely brothers were executed. A farm
er and his wife discovered three men in
their bed room late at night and gave the
alarm. The intruders immediately opened
fire on them, inflicting fatal wounds. It is
to be hoped these scoundrels will be captur
ed and executed. There is no greater ex
hibition of malignant cowardice than for
three armed men to commit a murderous at
tack upon a defenseless man and woman.
This event should enforce ujion all, eiecial
ly upon those who live remote from neigh
bors, the importance of carefulness in secur
ing their dwellings. Every country resi
dence should be secured at nightfall. While
they are not a ierfect defense against the
exirt burglar, yet the noise made in open
ing them would likely rouse the inmates
and save valuable lives. Nor should money
ever be kept in the house over night.

One of the beauties and charms of an edi
itor's life is in his dead-heading it on all oc
casions. No one who has ever feasted on
the sweats of that bliss can begin to take in
the glory of its happiness. He does $100
worth of advertising for a railroad, gets a
pass for a year, rides $i' worth, and then he
is looked ujion as a dead-bead or a half
brown dead beat. He "puffs" a concert
troupe 10 worth and gets $1 in complimen
taries, and is thus passed "free." If the hall
is crowded he is begrudged the room he oc
cupies, for if bis complimentaries were pay
ing tickets tbe troupe would be so much in
pocket. He blows and puffs a church fm-ti-val
free to any desirable extent, and does the
poster printing at half price, rarely gets a
thank for it. It goes as part of his duty as
an editor. He does more work gratuitously
for the town and community than all the
rest of the population put together, and gcta
cursed for it all, while in many instances
where a man donates a few dollars to a
Forth of July celebration, base ball club, or
church, he is gratefully remembered. Oh,
it is a sweet thing to be an editor! He

Reamnu, April 17. Reading Railroad
General Smierintendent Sweigart, of Phila
delphia, and Superintendent Bonzano, of
this city, went to Harrisburg this afternoon
to make arrangements for the opening of
the company's new branch from Harrisburg
to ShipixTsburg. Tbe last spike which will
complete this western link of the Reading
Railroad was driven at a point six miles
southwest of Harrisburg, at C o'clock this
evening. Tbis new branch will be known
as the Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pitts
burgh Railroad.
Crossing the Susquehanna over a monster
bridge at Harrisburg, as a continuation of
the Lebanon Valley Railroad from this city,
it was built by the Reading Company as far
as Bowmansdale, and with a connection
with the Potomac road extends to Shiivpens
burg, with further connections with the
Western Maryland and Baltimore and Ohio
road. The line is now virtually complete
to Pittsburgh and the coke regions, thus
supplying the want which the South Penn
was designed to fill. The road will be open
ed for freight traffic in a few days, and pass
enger trains will commence running some
time in May. The company expects to do a
large western trade over this route. The
South I'enn organization ll still maintained,
but it is safe to say that all intentions of
building it have now been abandoned since
the Reading road has completed its own
western outlet.

Somerset, Pa., April 4, 1S01.
Mks. A. A. yicELY
Pear Madam : At tbe request of your son,
Pavid, this letter Is written. I was with
him at the last. I saw Dave and Joe for the
first time Nov. 28th, 150, the day before tte
last escape from jail. I spoke to him often
about obeying tbe gospel, as he told me on
my first visit to him that he was not a mem
ber of any church. I procured for him a
Bible ; he had only a small testament be
fore. He read his Bible a great deal, as I
think, because be often SKke to me about
it, and was familiar with much it contain
ed. He desired some commentary also, and
I furnished him some such as I thought be
would like and would, at tbe same time, be
useful to him. About 10 days ago he re
quested me to visit him oftener than I was
then doing about once every week. I vis
ited him then about once each day, and tow
ard the last was with him almost all the
time. He desired to be baptized and was on
last Wednesday, at 1 1 o'clock, in the bath
tub in the corridor of the jail. Tbe same
evening at 7 o'clock some Christian people
accompanied me and they and he and I par
took together of the Lord's supper. On last
Saturday evening, at 7 o'clock, a few breth
ren and I had a short prayer service with
him. According to his request, after the
communion service WeJnesday evening, I
remained, going with him to his cell and
laying there until 11:15, when I went
home for the test of the night. I returned
to the jail a little after 8 o'clock, Thursday
morning and remained there, with the ex
ception of the time from 10:30 to 11:15 nn
til all was over. For several days before the
end he did not have hope of receiving any
favorable news from Harrisburg, but boe
was not entirely abandoned until Thursday
morning, when he learned from counsel
that Gov. Pattison decided not to grant a
respite. I think be was prepared for death
and as much resigned to it as any one in
like circumstances could be. He preferred
to live, and said if that could be, his life
would be above reproach in the future.
Much of his last hours was spent in devo
tion. He prayed earnestly and fervently,
sometimes alone and sometimes with me.
He expressed the hope that he might have
strength for the final moment, and this was
granted him. With remarkable firmness
he stood it all. A little before 8 o'clock on
Thursday morning Joe sent for me. He
was rational. He spoke of the coming cris
is and freely of his future. After perhaps
half an hour's conversation, he proceeded
to finish a letter to his wife, which he had
commenced before I came in. He was soon
visited by Rev. Beal, of the Evangelical As
sociation who administered to him the sac
rament. At half past 11 o'clock, Dave, Joe,
Sheriff (Hood and I ate alone at dinner,
which bad been prepared in one of the cells,
the one that was Dave's all winter. After
dinner Rev. Beal returned and he and Joe
were together in devotion, praying and
singing. A little before 1 o'clock Dave, Joe,
Rev. Biiil aud I were requested to go to the
west of the jail, which we did. Soon after
Joe and Rev. Beal joined Dave and me in
our cell, and the rest of the time, until the
sheriff came, was spent in prayer and sorg
Joe leading and both Dave and I joining in
the singing. I send you in this mail Dave's
testament and a handkerchief left with me
by him for you. '
Sincerely and truly yours,
Cu.vis W. Granher.

ants of the early German and Swiss settlers,
held at Lancaster on the 25th of February,
it was resolved to call a meeting on April
15, ltl, to organize a Pennsylvania German
Society.
Delegates from twenty counties iu the
State met in the Court House in Lancaster
last Thursday, pursuant to tbe call, for tbe
purpose named. Tbe attendance was quite
large, and tbe convention was called to or
der by State Librarian Egle. The Tempora
ry Chairman was George F. Bier, of Read
ing, and the address of welcdme was made
by E. K. Martin, Chairman Baer respond
ing, Music was furnished by the Manner
chor Singing Society and by the Franklin
and Marshall Glee Club.
A pajier on tbe "Pennsylvania German
Pialect " was read by Editor E. H. Rauch,
of Maticb Chunk. "The Puritan Cavalier,
Why Not tbe Pennsylvania German," was
disposed of T. C. Zimmerman, of Reading.
H. L. Fisher, of York, read a poem in Penn-.
sylvania German. A paper on " Pennsyl
vania German in Church and State was
read by Rev. Weizer, of East Greenville.
The object of the Society is the collection
and preservation of ihe records and history
of our early German settlers.
The following permanent officers were
elected :
President, W. H. Egle, Harrisburg ; Vice
Presidents, Hon. Edward Albright, Allen
town, H.A. Muhlenberg, Reading; Secre
tary, F. R. Piffenderfer, Lancaster ; Treas

After considerable debate tbe constitution
was formed so that active membership shall
be own only to tbe descendant of early
German and 8wis settlers. German citi
sens of over ten years' residence may become
associate members, but are not eligible to
office.
Geu. Louis Wagner, of Philadelphia, who
up to this time had been active In tbe delib

cause German-born citizens were excluded
from full membership.
A Superb Summer Scueucli.
The coming summer promues to be a most
notable one for sea-shore travel. Engage
ments already made in advance for hotel ac
commodations at Atlantic City and inqui
ries received indicate the widespread popu
larity of this great resort.
Never before in the history of tbe City-by-the-Sea
have the railroad facilities been so
perfect as they will be over the Pennsylva
nia's Sea Shore Lines. Arrangements have
been perfected by which this popular route
will consolidate its two railroads (the West
Jersey and Camden aud Atlantic) between
Philadelphia and Atlantic City, so as to be
operated on the plan of a double track. Tbis
mode of management will greatly facilitate
the handling of the enormous passenger
traffic, and will present the safest and most
novel system of double lines in the country.
Tbe schedule of trains will be greatly im
proved over tbat of previous years, both in
the number of trains, their equipment and
speed. A large number of trains will run
on a time-table best adjusted to the needs of
the public. They will be equipped with
comfortable and handsome new passenger
coaches and attractive parlor cars drawn by
tbe Pennsylvania Slaudard hard coal burn
ing locomotives. The majority of the trains
will make the run in each direction in eighty
minutes, thus reducing the time of transit
to the minimum consistent with safety
and good management.

The Umberger Tragedy.
A Complete History of the Umber
Ear-Nicely Case to be Issued
In Book Form.
All the facts and details of this, in many
respects the moat remarkable criminal case
in the history of Pennsylvania, are now be
ing prepared in book-form. In this graphic
and circumstantial account, there will be
given many incidents that bave never yet
been published, among which will be the
official notes of the detectives employed In
working up the rase. The notes of Chief
Gilkinson are peculiarly Interesting in the
delineation of circumstances occuring in the
early stages of the case preceding the arrest
of the Nicely brothers by Constable Rauch.
Proceedings of all the preliminary hear
ings are given ; also many remarkable oc
currences of the most thrilling character at
tending the arrekt of Hamilton and the
Nicelys. The detection and recovery of the
pocket-book of Herman Umberger the
work of Chief Gilkinson :s given in the
latter's own language and forms probably
the most interesting chapter in the whole
book. Tbe trial of Joseph and Pavid Nicely
with its many stirring scenes and incidents
is given unusual prominence ; all the im
portant evidence on both sides is reprinted
in full from the report of the
