 Summary Justice,
 SOMERSET, Pa., Sept. 2O.-The two murderers, Joe and Dave Nicely, are still confined in the jail here, and as yet no attempt has been made by their friends to Hberate them. nor have the residents made any effort to lynch them. Last night Sheriff McMillen had an extra number of officers inside of the jail, and several others were stationed about the grounds surrounding the little prison.
 The class of people feared by the Sheriff and the cool-headed citizens are the farmers living in the neighborhood where Unger was murdered. The farm CTS for twenty miles around in Somer- set and Westmoreland counties express themselves as anxious to see the prison. CTS hung without loss of time. Nearly all of them keep their savings under their own roofs, and say the only way they have of protecting themselves is to make an example of the Nicelys.
 The September term of court will open here on Monday next, when the town will be crowded with farmers. The court has now five murder cases to dispose of during the September term, four of which are for outright murder, while the fifth is that of Dr. Miners, of Meyersdale, for alleged fatal abortion.

The Street Buried Twenty Feet Deop-Thc

 Buried Under tho Avalanche of Earth
 Horrible Scenes Witnessed While Rescu-
 Ing the Unfortunatc Victims.
 QUEBEC, Ont, Sept. 2O.-About 7:sO o'clock last evening terrible land slide occurred immediately below Dufferin terrace by which seven houses were crushed out of shape and from twenty to forty people killed and wounded.
 Those who saw the fall of the rock say that they heard a long, loud noise, as of several cannon, and on looking up toward the terrace and citadel, were mortified by the sight of an immense mass of stones, rock, and earth breaking loose and rushing down the 800 feet of declivity upon the doomed houses below.
 Immediately the air was filled with dust, so that no one could see ten feet in front of him, and breathing was made difficult. This was followed by the sounds of timbers crushing and yield ing to the immense power of the ava lanche, and the shouting and scream ing of men, women and children. ill all the agony of despair
 The avalanche was caused by the hot weather of the past few weeks cracking the earth and rock, which were driven down by the heavy rain of the last few days.
 The mon of the water police, whose station is near the scene of the acci- dent set to work at once to rescue the imprisoned persons, while the general alarm was sounded which called out the fire brigade and the police, for, with lamps and stoves breaking the houses soon caught fire.
 As each of the sufferers was rescued he was carried into the quarters of the water police, where a large staff of medical men was on hand, as we'll as a priest, who did all they could to ale vii ate their sufferings. All sorts of wild rumors were soon flying about the city, and conflicting reports were met with everywhere.
 It was said that as many as twenty were killed, and then again that the in- jured were few and far between. This Is accounted for by the fact that 1t is next to impossible to obtain particulars, owing to the fact that when the rock fell it covered the road-bed to the depth of twenty feet.
 Six bodies have been taken from the ruins, viz: Thomas Farrell and two of his children also two children named Burke and one unknown child. Far rells mother-in-law, Mrs. Allen, and her husband are still i'll the mine. About thirty-fve persons have been removed from the debris badly injured. Some have broken arms and legs, and others are badly crushed and mutilated.

He added: If among those counted as Democrats there arc found timid souls, not well grounded in the faith, who long for the flesh pots of vacillating shifts and evasions, the answer to their fears should be Party honesty is party OK pediency'"
