.Mr. and Airs. Samuel Van Wert nnd Son
Held in Hail.
Near the- Providence depot of the
Delaware nnd Hudson Hailroad com
pany, Samuel Van Wert nnd family
live in a double house owned by the
Ontario nnd Western Railway com
pany; tho other naif of the build-in?
is occupied by the family of James
Owensworth. and adjoining the double
building is the home of John F. Parks
About 1 o'clock yesterday morning
the double house was discovered to be
on fire, but with the quick aid of the
neighbors the blaze was extinguished
before any damage was done. In two
places the building had been saturated
with coal oil, and near the corner at
the front there was a barrel placed
against the siding nnd it was filled
with carpet rags which had been
soaked with oil. It was plainly an at
tempt to perpetrate arson.
They Found John Van Wert.
The police were notified nnd about
3 o'clock Lieutenant Speliman and Pa
trolman Terry fnunl John Van Wert,
a one-legged individual, sitting on the
bridge on Depot street. They ques
tloned him and he saM he could tell
who set fire to the bulldincr If ho chose
to do so. He was locked up and given
a hearing yesterday mornlnff by Alder
man Millar, but refused to speak and
was remanded until 6 o'clock In the
evening. Van Wert was brought out
asaln and said that he knew nothing
about the fire and explained that If he
told the officers anything different that
he did so because he was excited.
Ho is i son of Stephen Van Wert
and lives at home. The reason he was
out when found by the police was, he
said, that he went over to the place
where the fire had been. Alderman
Millar held him under $300 to appear at
court.
George Dearie, a boy 15 years old
was sworn, and he testified that he
heard Mrs. Samuel Van Wert on March
15 last say sh would burn the house.
It is alleged that Samuel Van Wert
and his farrrily have not been very de
sirable tenants and an effort was made
to set rid of them, and that John
Wert, the prisoner, was prevailed upon
to set fire to .the building; out of re
venge. They Denied the Chnrgc.
Samuel Van Wert and his wife were
sworn and they denied point blank
that 'they knew anything about it.
Young Dearie was again sworn and he
repented whnt he had already said
about hen Ing Mrs. Van Wert threaten
to apply the torch. The day she said
It was one on which she waj woldlng
the young man's aunt, 'Mrs. Thomas
Deacle. Mrs. Van Wert qualified the
threat with an oath.
Mrs. Thomas Dende and Mrs. John
Owensworth nnd Mrs. James Owens
worth, the latter's daughte'r-ln-Iaw,
were sworn nnd gave damaging evi
dence again Samuel Van Wert and
his wife.
The alderman held Mr. onrl Airs. Van
Wert under $500 ball each to appear at
court. Mrs. Van Wert had her infant
with hrr nnd was weeping. Tho al
derman allowed her to go on her own
recognizance, but her husband was
locked up.

IMPOSTERS WERE FOILED
Claimed to Be Sanctioned by the
Commercial Travelers' Home.
THEY OPERATED IN SCRANTON
Received Wntnlna to Leave tho City Ho
foro tho Police Could Unit Tlic.m-I.et'
tcr from IlliiRluuuton's Mayor
Asking fur Their Arrest.
Two educated and gentlemanly ai
pearlug individuals who canvassed this
clity with a scheme which they claimed
was functioned by the Commercial
Traveler's Home association, have left
the city suddenly. On the heels of their
depiipiuro word comes from Mayor
Green, of llinglininlon, nnd other re
sponsible business men of that city,
that the two men are lmposters nnd
should Ik- arrested for obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Following Is a copy of a letter re
ceived by Mayor Council from ltlng-
hamton's mayor:
Hon. W. L. Council, Scrnnton, Pa.
My Dear Mayor: At u meeting of
the sub-executive committee of the
Commercial Travelers' Hunfe Bssocla
Hon. of America, held this day, 1 wns,
for the first time, advised that certain
parties have been operating In Scran
ton, claiming to Tcpresent the Home
iimsih latlon or the Home now In pro
cess of construction In thiH city, I en
close herewith copy of statement Is
sued by the sub-executive committee
which Is self-explanatory.
Word has already been given through
the Associated and united l'rens re
ports that the scheme is a swindle
Knowing the Hose relation, fraternal
nnd otherwise, existing between many
residents of your splendid city nnd
l'.lnghamtonlans, I can sec how shrewd
operators claiming to represent th
Home would be able to do a good
business In Scranton. I sincerely hope
that the warning h.is been sutllelently
timely to prevent your citizens from be
ing imposed upon In the manner de
scribed. If the parties are still operating In
Scranton, and Halm to represent the
Home association, they should be ar
rested for obtaining money under false
pretenses. With regards, I am,
Yours truly,
George K. Green.
Bingham ton, N. Y., June 1, 1S'.)5.
Details of Their Scheme.
The circular accompanying Mayor
Greens letter describes the scheme In
ueiaii. me anegcu operators are
handling a large lithograph poster
snowing a picture of the proposed Home
building, which Is surrounded by tradi
cuts. To accompany each cut an ad
vettlsement of some local concern is
solicited. The chart contnlns the an
nouncement of a copyright by Fr.uik
Alexe, New York city.
The sub-executive committee's warn
ing circular states that the Home asso
ciation is in no way interested In the
chart and that there is no connection
between Frank Alexe nnd the associa
tion. The circular concludes by cm
phatiealiy stating that tho workers of
the scheme are impostors, and Is signed
by C. C. Frisbie, G. F. Swigert nnd
George E. Green, of the sub-executive
committee.
Nearly two weeks ago Alexe, who
heads the scheme, arrived here, and af
ter starting his two agents, W. J. Harry
nnd R. Basset, of New York city, on
their work, left the city. Basset is an
elderly and dignified looking old gentle
man, and was apparently assisted by
Barry, a much younger man. They
stopped at the Wyoming, and on the
plea of being sanctioned 'by tho Home
association, were given rates at the
hotel.
They canvassed among only leading
business concerns and had secured con
tracts for nearly all the advertising
space on tho chart, but loft suddenly
last Wednesday night on a Lackawan
na train bound east. It has not been
learned that they secured any advance
payments, and the police theory Is that
they received warning.

PLEASANT TRIPJTO NIAGARA
Lehigh Valley Journalists Tendered a
Complimentary Excursion.
IS AN ENJOYABLE PILGRIMAGE
Tho Lehigh Valley RullronU Company
Mays tho Host, in a Manner Which
l.llcltH Very lUiruost Knconluin..
Brief Story of a Two-da vs' Trip.
What Is expected to mark tho begin
ning of a highly successful excursion
sciiHon was Inaugurated on Witurday
by tho Lehigh Valley Railroad com
pany, when It tendered to the Lehigh
Valley Writer's club und several guests"
a complimentary pilgrimage to Niag
ara Fall-.-). The start was made from
Knston early Saturday morning, In a
special train comprising two Pullman
cars nnd the Justly famed Lehigh Val
ley lunch ear, In charge of J. II. Seal,
superintendent of the Lehigh Vnlley's
dining car service. The excursion was
under the personal direction of Gen
eral Passenger Agent Charles S. Lee,
who with Colonel Hollln II. Wilbur, the
general Hupn-lntendcut; A. W, Nonne-niai-licr,
assistant general passenger
ngi-nt; W. II. Oummcri', general bag
gngu ngent; A. Mitchell, superintend
ent of the Wyoming division; O. o.
Esser, superintendent of the Sayre di
vision; AV. 11. Bench, superintendent
of the Buffalo division; Charles S. Hlg
glns, superintendent of motive power;
and E. II. Hylngton, western passenger
ngent, greeted the gui'sts and saw that
no detail was lacking to their thorough
enjoyment of the Journey.
The last stop for guests wns made
nt Wllkes-lturro. From that place the
special departed by way of the Har
vey's Lake branch. Two stops were
innde on this division, one ut tho hand
some hike which gives Its name to
the branch of railroad, nnd the other
nt Lake Ganoga. The first pause was
for the purpose of affording the party
a linir-honr's circumnavigation of the
lake by steamer; nnd the second was
for tho purpose or permitting Colonel
Ulcketts to conduct the railway men
nnd scribes to the beautiful point
known ns Cliff View, from whose sum
mit seven counties nre visible. The
outlook from thin point spans nn Im
mense ravine, famous or Infamous ns
the site of the Fishing Creek
confederacy; and tho view Is
one of exceeding, nlthough rugged,
beauty. AVlth this view as a
background, the party was photo
graphed in a group picture, taken by
W. H. Rau, the Philadelphia expert.
Sunday nt the Fulls.
Tho run from Ganoga to Buffalo was
made without Incident save tho high
speed which characterized some por
tions of it. In one case a mile was cov
ered In forty-six seconds; and .the 200
miles between Towanda and Buffalo
were covered In 240 minutes, including
several stops. Supper at tho new Tiftt
house, three hours of light opera and
tableaux vlvant at the Star theater and
a hospitable reception by the Buffalo
Press club concluded the day's round
of enjoyment. On Sunday morning the
party was conveyed to Niagara Falls,
and accorded a ride In carriages, a view
of the American falls, nnd a ride on the
natty little steamer, "..Maid of the Mist"
upilmost to the Horseshoe falls. Land
ing on the Canadian side, the tourists
became for the moment guests of the
Niagara Falls Park and River Railway
company, which conveyed them In a
fpecial car to Chippewa, and then back
ward to the DufTerin islands, past the
great Canadian falls, beyond the Queen
Victoria Niagara Falls park, past the
line suspension and cantilever bridges,
to the whirlpool rapids, then to the
commanding site of the still more com
manding Brock monument, which,
towering 185 feet high, overlooks
Queenston, the fine stretch of beautiful
country intervening between Queens
ton nnd Lake Ontario, and even To
ronto. Returning from this delightful ride,
an ascent of the Niagara tower was
made, followed by a journey to the
buttery elevator to the whirlpool rapids,
where a pleasant half hour wns passed
in contemplation of the giant struggles
of the angry waters which here do bat
tie without earthly counterpart. Din
ner at the new International brought
tho day's programme to a cloSe; nnd the
return Journey wns begun at 10 o'clock
Sunday evening. The excursion as a
whole wns marked by extreme thor
oughness of preparation and by a de
gree of courteous nttentic-n to the ex
cursionists which elicited tho warmest
acknowledgements. With a route whose
scenic beauty Is nowhere surpassed, and
with met-hnnical equipments of the very
best, the Lehigh Valley railroad, under
tho present management, will. It Is be
lieved, have no difficulty in command
ing a large share of the excursion traf
fic, to Niagara and Intermediate points.
