SORROW AT BLACKsHEAR.

His Last Reward.

DR.. Andrew McDowel Moore Goes to
His Last Reward.
BLACKsHEAR, Dec. 80 DR.. Andrew Nc
Dowell Moore, at dawn this morning, passed
hence to enter into the day eternal, and
every heart in town is bowed with grief
He was born in McDonough, Henry
county, in this state, Oct. 2s. 1888, but soon
afterward his father, a prominent lawyer,
removed to Griffin, where he was reared.
Descending on his mothers side from the
Lamar family aud on his fathers from the
Moore family Of Virginia, he had the best
blood OF the two states in his veins. He
graduated at Lexington, Va. after which
he studied law, and by special act of legis-
lature was admitted TO the bar before he
was 81 years old. He afterward studied
ical college OF Atlanta. In 1853 he married
Miss Sallie Stone Of Decatur, and. coming
to Blacksnear soon after, remained
until the beginning of the war, when
he entered the army as surgeon, serving ~
Georgia a I'd Virginia. Returning home at
the close of the ar he was identified with
all the best interests of the place, aud his
life and the development Of the town were
closely interviewer.
He held many Offices of trust, both in
town and county, and always to every ones
satisfaction. He represented the county in
the legislature several times; was clerk of
court, mayor of the town, and In fact, any
| Office that be would accept, was given to
him. But it was in private life that his
| virtues shone most brightly and the noble
ness and purity of his great heart was dis
played. The honored and beloved ply

whose words always surprised and elevated
his hearers; the idol of every child's heart,
and the respected and revered object Of love
and esteem from every one for y as, his

munity. About six months ago he was
stricken with paralysis and suffered recur-

bility the people loved himso they wouldn't

was, as he had been since its organization, an

RAILROAD CROSSINGS IN CITIES.
Decision That COmpeIs Chicago to Open Streets
by Building Viaducts or Tunnels.

CHICAGO, April "A decision of interest
to cities was rendered by Judge Collins to-
day. The City Council had passed ordi-
nances for the opening of certain streets
across the tracks OF the Illinois Central
railroad. That company began a suit to
enjoin the city from opening the streets at
grade. claiming that it would cripple it's
business. interfere with the rights of emi-
nent domain and in other ways create
great injury. To this the city demurred.
holding. among other things. that the court
had no authority to nulllfy the ordinances
opening the streets. Judge Collins held
that the ordinances were unreasonable and
that the railroad company was entitled TO
the injunction. The effect of the decision
is to compel the city to open streets across
railroad rights of way either by viaducts
above, or tunnels beneath the tracks.

TWO BROTHERS HANGED.
Joseph and David Nicely Pay the Penalty of
Law for Numbering Herman Umberger.

SOMERSET. Pa, April 2-The Nicely
brothers were hanged at 1:43 o'clock this
afternoon. They both died game and pro-
testing their innocence. Death resulted
from strangulation. The bodies were cut
down nineteen minutes after the trap was
sprung.
The crime for which David and Joseph
Nicely suffered stands out pre-eminent as
being one of the most brutal and deliber-
ate. and at the same time one of the most
mysterious crimes for which two men were
ever hanged. On the evening of Feb. 81.
1889, an ugly, cold sleet was falling that
drove little country family closer to a
generous fire in the home of Herman Um-
berger, in Somerset county. 1t was gen.
orally known that farmer Umberger was
wealthy and kept large sums of money in
The house. Early in the evening of the day
mentioned two men went to Umberger's
home, where they represented themselves
as officers in search of some jeweiry sup
posed to have been stolen from a peddler.
They found two pocket books containing a
large amount of money, which Umberger
put into his vest pocket. One of the men
then produced revolver and demanded
shots at the old man. Umberger received
one bullet In the shoulder and one In the
breast. killing him almost instantly. The
men then seized the two pOcket-boOks. con-
tanning between $4,000 and $4,000 in gold
and greenbacks. and fled.
"A reward of 5000 was offered for the
murderers. Suspicion soon turned to the
Nicely brothers. well-to-dO farmers living
about fifteen miles from Uhnberger's. On
Monday following the murder. David and
Joseph Nicely were arrested and taken to
Somerset. Two months later they were put
on trial. The legal fight was bitter one.
but they were finally convicted and sem
fenced to death. Then began another fight
for pardon or reprieve.
Before the execution John Reach made
confession. in which he said that Umber-
ger had been shot In a scutfe. while he and
q man named Miller, who was then dead,
were taking the old mans money. But the
pardon board refused to act in the case.
Then followed bold break for liberty.
The prisoners succeeded in breaking jail
but were recaptured. Again they made a
confession by either of the men was ever
made. At the last moment another appeal
was made to the Governor for clemency,
and not until the drop fell was the idea of
q pardon abandoned.
1t has been learned that the Nicely boys
were related to the James brothers, the
noted Western desperadoes, Mrs. Nicely.
their mother, being cousin of the father
of the James brothers. Joseph, one of the
executed men. is believed to have been at
one time when in the West, q few years ago,

turn from the West he frequently, and to

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary Blaine
was at the Department of State this morn
ing transacting routine business and pre-
pared to receive his usual Thursday diplo-
matte visitors. There is nothing new in
the Italian situation to-day. Baron Fava
has not yet made an application for a pass
port, nor has the Marquis Imperiali ao-
knowledged the receipt of Secretary
Blaine's letter, which was sent to him yes
terday evening. The letter is very strongly
commended by men of all shades of politics.
and the opinion is widely expressed that
it Will bring the Italiou government to q

in public life remarked, wittily. to-day:
Italy would have no difficulty in landing
troops In America; they could DO landed

Ex-Representative Farquhar, OF New
York, speaking of the correspondence pub
lished this morning, said he believed Mr.:
Blaine's letter would appeal TO the good
sense of every foreign nation. He said;
Italy does not want war; she wants to

send a letter-a circular letter-to the con-
tractors who are engaged In constructing

men had no intention of committing an
overt act. Mrs Mary Rusko, who lives
about fifty feet from the scene of the riot
