DESPERATE MURDERERS
Break Jail and Escspe In sight OF the
GallOWs.

SOMERSET. Pa, Nov. 29.-Two years ago
herman Amberger, an aged farmer residing
here. was brutally murdered in the presence
of his family, ana robbed Of nearly $4,000.
Joseph aud David Nicely were tried and con-
yicted OF the murder and sentenced 10 death.
Every possible effort has been made by their
wealthy friends TO secure clemency for the
brothers, even TO producing man who con
fessed that he was the murderer but
without avail. Shortly after the adverse
decision by the Supreme Court the
Nicely brothers broke Jail, but were
recaptured. AT o'clock this evening the
new iail, just completed and occupied, and
supposed 10 be one OF the strongest III the
country, contained seven prisoners-the
Nicelys, convicted OF murder, ana
five others charged with burglary,
arson, embezzlement, &c. At Z O'clock,
four of them were gone. and one OF them,
named Alexander Queer, charged with
arson, was lying on tue ground on the rear
OF the building, bruised and bleeding mass
of flesh and bones. The alarm was given
by Queer, who, in attempting TO descend
the rope by which the others had escaped,
fell a distance of fifty feet. His cries at
tracted attention, and soon the enure popu-
laiiOn OF the town, almost wild with excite
ment gathered about the building. sherili
McMilln summoned posse OF one hun
red men aud started OF for the fugitives.
The sheriff offered 5000 reward for the MUIR
derers' capture. The citizens assembled in
the courthouse aud In few moments sub
scribed large sum OF money 70 defray the
expenses OF the search.

virginia and the Worlds Fair.

The people Of Virginia and their repre-
sentatiyes in Congress were anxious that
this great American enterprise should be
held in Washington city. IL was matter
Of convenience 10 them and the propriety Of
the place Of holding il.
We often oppose measures that are TO our
vital interest, and afterwards see that the
"fates have favored US" II is pre-emi-
nently SO in this case Let Us STE how this
Worlds Fair can benefit Virginia.
The two great lines OF trailic and travel
start from Norfolk and run through Nir-
ginia to the far West. We refer to the Nor
folk and Western and the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroads.
We suggest that each Of these two lines of
road get up map showing tnat these TWO
lines are tue most direct from the best har-
Dor on the Atlantic coast 70 Chicago. On
the margin Of this nap present the views Of
the exquisite scenery along their lines
than which there is no grander or more
beautiful in the world.
In connection with these views give a
little description OF the country. Show
them the magnificent port of Norfolk, view
of Fortress Monroe and lovely surroundings.
Tell them Of jamestown. he first English
settlement on the continent. Tell them Of
williamsburg and its former regal glory;
of Yorktown, with its towering marble
monument, and Of the battles Of the Penin-
sula. No county on the American cOnti-
nent contains as much Of the early history
of the United >tates as this Peninsula.
Snow them the city of Richmond, the capi-
tai Of the COntederacy, with its wonderful
historic "reminiscences. Show them how
she has risen from the smOuldering ashes of
her former glory tSthe great manufacturing
and commercial metropolis OF the new
south. Show them the great water-pOwer
OF the James. Show them the two thousand
miles OF navigable tide-water in the state
abOunding in fish and oysters. Show the
beautiful Blue Ridge, the grand old ALE
ghanies. and the lovely fertile valleys among
these lofty hills. Show them Petersburg and
AppOmattOx, the scenes Of struggle. and OF
the surrender OF the noble cnitftan Of the
lost cause. Show them the immense coal,
even lead, zinc and copper mines OF the
southwest. Show them the genial climate
and productive soil of Virginia, and let
these maps and views and historical items
he scattered broadcast all over Europe.
All this Will turn large portion OF the
travel via Norfolk instead OF New York or
