The Alleged Confession of One OF the
Umburger Murderers.
SOMERSET, Pa, April "a confession
was made public today of Dave Nicely,
who, with his brother Joe, was hanged
for the murder of farmer Umburger.
Dave said he and his brother were at the
farmers house with the intention OF
robbing it. While there he fired off a
pistol with the intention of soaring the
inmates, but said he did not shoot the
farmer. While he did not say as much,
it is thought David intended to convey
the idea that Joe, his brother, commit
ted the murder. 1t will be remembered

The officer or officers of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, responsible
for the present disgraceful arrangements
at the Clinton st. station, Trenton, should
be presented with a leather medal, put
on by No. 10 stogy boot, and be COM
PEELED to stand on the platforms during
the day. The old station has been de-
molished and passengers have TO leave
the new station and go down on the plat
forms to await the trains few moments
before they arrive. There is no protec-
ton whatever from the weather, and
delicate women are compelled to stand in
the cold winds aud even in the storms to
await the trains. Should the train be
late, it is so much the worse. Last Wed
nesday evening we witnessed old and
feeble men, women and children, parad-
ing the platforms for over half an hour,
the train being late, while bitter cold
wind swept through the gulley in which
the tracks are laid. If the old station
had been allowed TO stand until some
ether shelter had been provided, this
difficulty would have been prevented.
