The Umberger Tragedy.
A Complete History of the TIMBER
ger-NiceIy Case to be issued
In Book Form.

All the facts and details of this, in many
respects the most remarkable criminal case
IN the history Of Pennsylvania, are now be
ing prepared in book form. In this graphic
and circunistantial account. there will be
given many incidents that have never yet
been published. among which will be the
official notes of the detectives employed in
working up the case. The notes Of Chief
Gilkinson are peculiarly interesting in the
delineaiion of circumstances occurring in the
early stages Of the case preceding the arrest
of the Nicely brothers by Constable Rauch.
Proceedings of all the preliminary hear
ings are given; also many remarkable oc-
currenoes OF the most thrilling character at
tending the arrest Of Hamilton and the
Nicelys. The detection and recovery Of the
pocket-bOok of Herman Umberger-the
work Of Chief Gilkinson-:s given in the
latters own language and forms probably
the most interesting chapter in the whole
book. The trial of Joseph and David Nicely
with its many stirring scenes aad incidents
is given unusual prominence; all the inn
portant evidence on both sides IS reprinted

building house and laying in store OF
provisions for the winter II practicable
a reconnaissance will be made over the
inland ice to Humboldt Glacier and
supply depot established. The balance
of the winter will be occupied in max
ing sledges, clothing and travelling
equipment and in snowshoe practice.
Early in the spring several OF the par
ty will 90 out ard establish stations
along the proposed route. The extra
men used on this work will then return
with two or three of the party, who will
remain at Whale Sound, and the time
here will be utilized in hunting, collect
ing specimens and making meteorolog-
ical observations. The expedition in
the interior will be carried on by the re-
mainder of the party, and their mission
being accomplished, they will return 10
Whale Sound and take the first favora-
BILE opportunity for returning home.
Lieutenant Peary says that experience
has taught him that small parties are
best for interior explorations, and that
every increase in the number beyond
those essentially necessary is an element
of danger. my estimate" he said, us
that we can easily travel from eighteen
to twenty miles day, and as the dis
lance from Humboldt Glacier to the
supposed Greenland terminus and re-
turn is estimated at 1000 miles, the
time consumed in travelling this dis
lance would be SiXty-siX days.
Former attempts 10 explore the
coast have been made on dog sledges
over the frozen sea, but as the foes are
liable to break at any moment the ex-
plorer is in danger of being cut of from
the ship and supplies.
ut is also difficult to examine the
coast in this manner, as it is indented
with deep narrow bays that reach for
miles into the interior. The journey
over the inland ice will eliminate all
these dangers; hundreds of miles will be
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1891-05-23

saved, and We will be able to look down
from an altitude of >, 900 feet into all the
indentations, getting the outlines OF the
coast as accurately as if spread upon a
map. The only danger lies in storms,
and pit dug in the snow always affords
complete shelter and protection from
these.
-Four or five gentlemen besides my
self will comprise my party, and these
will be selected especially for their ro-
bust and hardy natures, and also for the
interest they manifest in the discoveries
TO be made. l am not yet at liberty to
give their names, but can assure you
they will aid me greatly in the work |
shall undertake. Starvation will have
no menace for us, our food having been
selected with especial care, and will con-
siSt of pemmican, hard bread, baked
beans, condensed milk, cranberry sauce,
compressed tea, etc. A spirit lamp will
boil the tea.
The results to be attained will be
the solution of great geographical
problem-the northern extent Of Green
land, second only in Importance to the
discovery of the North Pole: the posi-
BILE discovery of the most practical and
direct route to the Pole, and the Ger
tainty of important additions to our
knowledge of geography, ethuology,
meteorology, geology and glaciation.
Lieutenant Peary speaks confidently
of his project and its undoubted sue
cess. The only element of hardship,
he says, will be from exposure to the
cold, and this for wellfed, we'll
clothed and healthy set Of men will be
only physical annoyance, not dan

many the Lieutenant TO his farthest
Journey north, where he expects TO hnd
the northern boundary Of Greenland or

that his daring journey will be success
full, and will lead to more important
discoveries than have been made since
the finding OF the Northwest Passage.
The expedition will be under the au-
snices of the Academy of National
Sciences, of this city. 1t is maintained
that the discovery of Greenland'S north
ern coast will solve the much-veXed
North Pole question. The opinion that
Greenland extends TO the North Pole Is
not. however, shared by Lieutenant
Peary; but he said yesterday that the
discovery of the pole depends almost
entirely on the complete mapping
of Greenland, and in particu-
lar its MINER boundary. BaSing
his methods on experience gained in
former tours of exploration in the
frozen North. Lieutenant Peary and
mis- party will make the trip on foot,
starting from White Sound over the in
land snow, to point supposed to be the
northern terminus of Greenland, in s.
degrees north latitude, and about l,SOO
