THK NICELY'#, THE SOMKKHKT MI"H
-DKltKll#, RKFISUD A NEW TltiAi..
C!ii*r Justice I'MXton'n Opinion ot the
Uinherger Murder Cune— nt
of the Low-r Court Atltrined.
Uhii f Justice Paxson, in theSiipi .ine
Court, Pittsburgh, M'-naay moridog,
rendered an opinion affirming the judg
ment of the lower court in the appeal of
Joseph and D-iviii Nicely.
The men were convicted in the Court
of Oyer and Terminer of Somerset county
of the murder of Herman Umbergcr, an
ageil tanner, who was killed on the 27ih
of February last while they were trying
to roll him of $115,000.
Chief Justice Paxsou, in banding down
the opinion uftlrming the judgment of the
lower court, said :
" But few of the specifications of error
•In this anpeal require notice. The de
fendants below were indicted for homi
cide and were convicted of murcer in the
first cigree. At tlie trial of the cause the
District Attorney appears to have been
aided by private counsel, uud the di
fendants complain tiiat in many instances
things were said bv counsel for the Com
monwealth either directly to the jury or
In their presence and hearing which
were not warranted by the evidence or
, which were unfair comments on it. While
*t-lie matter has been brought upon f tlie
record by exceptions, we have only
isolated passages extracted from the re
niaiksof counsel and we can but im
perfectly judge of their character and
propriety."
Continuing the Chief Justice says :
•' The time has gone by for a convicted
murderer to escape upon mere technical
ities. The harmless blunder of an inex
•periencad jury did the defeadants no in-
There was a time in the history of
the .English criminal law when great
Crimes were left unpunished because of
harmless techuical errors. This greater
strictness was perhaps due to the fact
that at that period the criminal code was
especially bloody. Capital punishmeu'
was inflicted for very trifling offenses,
and it may be the judges sought to
ameliorate its rigor by holding the crown
to the observance of the merest tecbnical
<hiea - . *
' " With the advancement of judicial
i science, and a more enlightened adminis
tration of the law mere technicalities are
less regarded when they work no harm
to a defendant.
"We have carefully examined all the
assignments anil tind no error. The
judgment in this case is affirmed, and it
is 'ordered that the record in this case lie
remitted to the Court below for the pur
pose of execution."
ANDY Gt.OSSICIt'.S CONDITION.
It Continues Good—Strong Hopes for His
Recover—The Accident.
At a late hour Saturday evening Andy
Glosser was reported to be doing well.
His father arrived on Thursday evening
and has been witli hira several thru s
since. Andy seems cheerful, and tie
probability is that he will recover.
There is much speculation as to how jc
came to be caught. The engineer re
ported that Glosser was lying on the
track when first seen by him. How he
got there is not much clearer than when
the news of the accident first came out.
Glosser, it is known, had just receivud
his check fremthe flood relief. Persons
who saw him very shortly before the
accident contradict the statement, as
made by some, that he was intoxica
ted. He may have been drinking some,
but bad full control of himself. lis was
also seen to have a roll of paper money
on Wednesday, at least reports say so.
' When found, he had only something over
two dollars on his person. There are
those who believe that Andy was the vic
tim of foul play. That lie could not have
been on the track long is true, for the en
gine had gone up less than fifteen min
utes before it returned.
There are also those who think that lie
got the heel of his shoe fast between the
track and the guard rail. He was caught
just at tlic end of the crossing where the
guard rail is curved away from the track
. making a trap into which a concave
heel Bitch as was on the shoes he wore
easily slip. It would be impossible
to extricate the shoo without a little time.
The train tnay have been close upon him
and in his struggles he may have fallen.
The lice! was torn from one of his shoes,
which seems to render probable the
theory that he was caught while crossing
the track. It is likely that when he re,
covers more from the shock of the acci
dent that lte will be able to give an ac
count of how he came to be where he
-> was.
George I). Flndley Injured.
Mr. George D. Fiudley, proprietor of a
large boarding house at Moxliam, who
met with a serious accident on Thursday
evening, is in a precarious coudition. It
appears that Mr. Ftndley was putting up
a new porch to his building when the
scaffolding broke and lie fell to tbe
ground, a distance of twelve feet. Ne
bones wore broken, but he was vsry seri
ously hart.

MR. CHARLES OSWALD'S REMAINS.
They Were Brought From Nineveh and
Will be Interred in Sandy vale.
The remains of Mr. Charles Oswald, a
victim of the flood, who with his family
lived at No. 311 Railroad street, were
brought up from Nineveh Saturday even

be found at that place. Funeral services
will be held at Bc. Joseph's Church iu

mains will be interred in Sandyvale.
Air. Oswald lost three daughters in tlie
flood, aged nineteen, twelve and nine
years. Tlie body of the eldest lias been
found and is buried in Lower Yoder. It
will soon he moved to Sandyvale also.
The other bodies have not been found.
Mrs. Oswald, it is well known, had a
most remarkable and thrilling experience
in the flood. She has left of her family
three boys and one married daughter.
THE " UNKNOWN " IN LOWER CODER.
Seventeen ltoilie* Kiiincd Yesterday. But n
Identification*.
The work of raising the unknown
dead from the cemetery in Lower Yoder
wis begun Alonday morning. A large
crowd of people as usual, were present.
Seventeen bodies, about half tlie number
iu that part of tlie cemetery, were raised,
but none were identified. Alucli incon
venience is caused by the water, tlie
graves being nearly full in some cases. A
pump is used to remove tlie water so that
the bodies can be raised. No bodies
were taken to Grand View as was intend
ed, owing perhaps to the condition of the
Cambria bridge. It is expected that all
the bodies in tlie English Catholic section
of the cemetery will be raised to-day.
Those in the German Catholic division
will be taken up next.
For the Benefit of St. Joseph'* School.
A fine " cukoo " clock of unique de
sign is on exhibition at Ivost's barber
shop on Adam street, ft was bought by
Father Alto, and will be chanced off at
the Christmas Fair, to he held in the new
Catholic school building for the benefit
of tlie schools. The quarter hours are
announced by the German call a
" watchel " and the hours by a cukoo. II

" 1 think my 'ixfeiit. wasdne more than
anyth'u els,- lo llie hostility of the
liquor iuteii sis. Ido not think tbftt the
third term mil ihe other causes combined
ou!d have amounted to much, and it is
.my opinion that Mr. Ilulstead's publica
tion of the forced signatures of Mr.
('unmix II tli-l not. ultimately work tne
nay injury, (lis action in retracting the
limine ,t he hatred the signatures were
forced -va- so manly that it excited admi
ration for him. I think the whole matter
outside of Cincinnati was 'orirolton and
• hs, luu-ly without effect ..pon the voters
-f tin- Smte. It certainly was not a good
cause to make any Republican vote
nrainM in-. Moreover, Mr. Halstcad
should not b-- blamed for being imposed
upon. Moreover, as 1 have already said,
f, too, saw tlie paper and saw it before lie
did, and I am frank to say I was quite as
much imposed upon as he was. I did
not - " the paper as he did, but my not
itsiii" it was due to oilier causes than sus
picion of its genuineness.
'• I do not think it profitable for Repuh
I leans lo disecuss in an unkind way the
cniees of d, feat. Whatever mistakes
mav have la-en made should he remem
bered only in so far us they afford lessons
for the filiate. While, of course, chag
rined by defeat, I have no unkind feeling
toward anyone, either inside or outsit!"
the Republican party, and I do not
.-.-tint anyone who lias seen tit
heietofore to call him-elf in any special
sense inv friend to entertain any feeling
of ill will or to harbor any spirit of
revenge toward anyone. Our duty for
the future is t. close up the lines and re
deem what has been lost.
" I ain going out of politics in the way
1 would have been pleased to go out, but
I shall be glad when I am out and once
more intending to my long neglected pri
vate affairs. I hope to be fully occupied
with I lie practice of the law, but I shall
always be reach- to help the party and

Adjournment.
POOR LIGHTS AND BAD SIDEWALKS.
Two Sertoli* Accident* Itemilt Therefrom.
We have repeatedly culled attention to
the fact that many of our important
streets were without lights at night, and
that they were in consequence very dan
gerous to nocturnal pedestrians. As
might have been expected, there were
two accidents last night. It is a wonder
there have not been more.
Air. John AI. Wilson, of South Fork,
while on his way to the depot in Johns
town Monday night, fell over a pile of
dirt near Aliller's store, on Alarket street,
and had his leg broken. He was attended
by Drs. Miller and Zimmerman and after
ward taken ou Fast Line to his home in
South Fork.
The other accident was the fulling of
a lady into the cellar-way of the old
Merchants' Hotel. She was not badly in
jured, but it is a wouder she wasn't
killed.
There is somebody responsible for all
this. Matters will be left as they are till
the borough, like a city not far distant, is
compelled to pay a heavy loss for a life
or limb. It is high time for the proper
authorities to move or be made move.
The next meeting of the National Edu
cational Association will be held at St.

lmpre**ion* of Johu*towii.
Indiana Democrat.
The citizens of Johnstown have raised
nearly $13,000 for the purpose of search
ing for tHe dead. It is a shame that tin
great State of Pennsylvania would allow
this work to be continued ,by those who
have lost everything—mouey, home and
ft iends.
The mud in Johnstown is fearfully
deep and awfully filthy, but the people
are working away hopefully, and it will
gradually be removed.
The TtbiiJior House, which is ably man
aged by Capt. Gagehy, is an elegant,
homelike place to stop, and we ad
vise all our friends to give the Windsor a
trial.
The Hulbert House Restaurant, on
Main street, which was started by the
Beuford boys a short time ago, changed
imnds on Friday last. The Benford boys
expect to lease one of the new hotels
which it is proposed to erect.
The Johnstown newspaper offices are
working under great difficulties, but ex
pect to have their establishments in better
condition before winter sets in.
The stores throughout tlie city are all
well supplied with large stocks of goods
and appear to be doii g a thriving busi
ness.
We called to see Justice Alex. N. Hart
and found him full of other people's busi
ness, with two law suits on hands to try
during tlie afternoon. Justice Hart and
family are enjoying excellent health.
Tlie Johnstown Supply House, owned
by John S. Waters & Bro., who are
well-known here, is doing a large busi
ness. They have twenty-five plumbers
and gas titters in their employ, and can
not get all their work done. They are
full of enterprise and grit and deserve
success.
We were sorry to see the alarming
condition of our old friend Frank Dober
neck, who is suffering from an attack of
miliaria! fever. We hope that he may re
cover his usual health, and advise him to
come over to Indiana and get well.
JoluiAtoxn is gradually rising out of
the flood, the large gaps iu its streets
eacli day becomes less distinct as some
new building ot- shanty rises upwards.
Very few of the buildings are of a perma
nent character, but are erected with a
sore intention of tiding over tlie winter.
We believe that in less than three years
Johnstown will have more and better
buildings than she had before tho flood,
besides making great improvements in
the streets and the public buildings;
The Cambria Iron Works, Gautier
Works and tbc Johuson Steel Works are
working full time, and are putting plenty
of money into circulation among the
people.
There are a large number of mechanics
employed in erection new buildings, and
next spring will bring hundreds more to
assist in rebuilding the destroyed city.
The citizens are beginning to see the
light of more prosperous days ahead of
them, and arc full of energy and pluck,
and a determination to rebuild their
buried city in a more substantial manner
than it was before the disaster. We wish
them God speed.
Still IncreftHing.
Tks search fund is now 912,018.70, and
Ike amount paid in 911,081.
FIINICRAL OF XHW. <f. C. DUNCAN.
■•r Itemiiliiß Rained From Fr,.peel and
Ke-IntM-rcd in Grand Vlw.
Among Hie bodies buried as " identi.
fled " on rt-oepeet was that of Mrs. Sarah
Ada Wendedf, wife ef I>r. J. C. Duncan,
the dentis* Tuesday morning the re
mains were raised, placed in a line new
casket and taken to Hende.rson's under
taking establishment. In e afternoon
the body was taken to Grand View and
re-Interred. Several beautiful flood de
signs were placed ou the casket by the
friends of the deceased, who with the
bereaved liushaDd accompan ed ttic re
mains to the cemetery. Services wen
conducted at the grave by Reverends Per
shing, of the United Brethren Church,
and Miller, of the Presbyterian Church,
both of East Conemaugh. Mrs. Duncan
was a member of the church ot which the
former has charge.
Prior to the flood Dr. Duncan lived at
No. 279 Maple Avenue, Woodvale. He
was married to Miss Wendell, daughter
of Mr. Charles Wendell, of Woodvale,
about seventeen months before the flood.
When the rush of water came they left
the house, but got only as far as the
Pennsylvania railroad before the torrent
was upon them. They, with dozens o
others, climbed upon a standing freight
train. The heavy cars tossed in the
waves like toys. They climbed toward
the front of the train where there seemed
to be less danger, the husband preceding.
A coupling broke just as he had crossed
it, and the rear of the train with its load
of people, among them Mrs. Duncan,
went down the stream. It bad gone but
a short distance until it rolled over
throwing all the people into the water.
None of tlieiii are thought to have escaped.
Mrs. Duncan was found near Dr. Low
ntau's residence on the Thursday after
the fiood, and was buried in Prospect us
stated above.
WOMEN AND HOUSE-WORK.
Home Duties Wholly Compatible Willi
Good Intellectual Work.
Louisville courier-Journal.
House-work, in moderation, i., healthy
and pleasant. It is the want of Just such
an unemotional vent for tlie restless en
ergy that produces many victims of ner
vous prostration. It is also wholly com
patible, if brought under any proper sys
tem, with good intellectual work. More
over, the creating and guiding of a
home is the best gift tlie world has to
offer.
When one thinks of the flood of bad
art and second-rate literature of the pres
ent day, is it not melancholy to reflect
upon the wasted energy that might have
gone into beautiful and helpful lives?
Tlie education is costly, indeed, whose
price is the woman's joy in tlie supqriii
denee of her home. If she, with ail tin
incentives of love and pride, despises ilie
daily cares that make the comfort ut the
household, how can she expect them to
be rightly met by a hired housekeeper,
whoso only interest is mo.iev -getting ?
"No man can serve two masters;" ami,
therefore, it seems to nte self-evident t
any woman wfio accepts the gift of
home thereby pledges herself to tics ••
to it her best service. The ueghit -
her first duty and highest privilege
not lead to any true work in oliiei
rections.

Mr*. Gabriel F. Fleok Find* tlie Body ol
Her Boy in Prospect.
Among the many patient and persever

work at Grand View and Prospect be
gan was Airs. Gabriel F.Fleck, of Alorrell
ville. She had seen every body raised in
the lormer place, and all but one in tlie
latter, but none of them were her son.
The last body of the "unknown" in Pros
pect was brought up by tlie workmen.
That it was not a full-sized body was seen
from the size of the coffin. Tiiose who
were looking for lost children watched
anxiously as the lid was removed. There
were many disappointed, but one rejoiced.
It was Mrs. Fleck. She had found her
son. Samples of clothing which she had
with her were identified with that which
was found on the body.
Airs. Fleck's son was at bis grand
mother's, Airs. Leitenberger, 1010

came. Had he been at his home in
