FOUL ATTEMPT
AT MURDER
Horrible Deed in a Franklin Avenue
Boarding House.
WOMAN'S THROAT WAS SLASHED
George Van Horn, a lind Character,
Lay in Wait for Mrs. Josephine
Weitcott, the Landlady-He Has
Eluded Arrest and She It Hovering
Between Life and Death in the
HospitalWas a Ittjcctcd Suitor.
A foul and dastardly attempt at mur
der was committed early laBt evening.
George Van Horn, a bad character
and about B0 years old, lay in wait in
the cellar of Mrs. Josephine Westcott's
boarding house, corner of Franklin ave
nue and Linden street, and cut her
throat with ft razor or other sharp in
strument. He eluded arrest: she is lying in the
Lackawanna hospital and is as liable
to die bb to live. Each is married but
separated from husband and wife. Van
Horn was a rejected suitor for the
landlady's affections.
With a great, gaping slush, which
extended across her throat, almost from
one ear to the other; with the Mood
(lowing in a stream over her chest; with
her wrapper held to catch the gory How,
and barely able to speak in that con
dition Mrs. Westcott staggered up the
outside cellar steps and made known
the awful deed to her little 9-year-old
daughter and the only two boarders who
were in the hoiiRe. A few moments
later, almost before the arrival of police
and surgeons, a dimse crowd surrounded
the house. The neighborhood was
thrown into a fever of excitement.
VAN HORN'S ESCAPE.
A neighbor heard someone scrambling
over the low board fence In the rear of
the building, and, a few moments after
the horrible deed was perpetrated Van
Horn was seen at the corner of Spruce
street and Mllllln avenue, two blocks
away. That was all the police could
learn of his doings and course of flight.
After supper last evening all the
boarders left the house, except two,
Mrs. Fctlerolf and another boarder who
were In their rooms on the second floor.
It was with the main floor deserted that
the brutal act was committed In the
cellar. There was no witness to it, and
the only light on the matter was Mrs.
Westcott's few broken utterances to
Mrs. Fetlerolf, after the victim had
staggered up the outside cellar stairs
and groped her way into the front door.
Mrs. Fetlerolf heard someone stumble
on the stairs and mutter as if in great
agony. It was Mrs. Westcott.
"What's wrong?" asked the boarder,
"I'm murdered," was the reply.
It was then that the former saw the
blood and gaping wound.
"My God! Who did that?" exclaimed
Mrs. Fetlerolf, rushing to the other's
aid.-
"It was George Van Horn," gasped
the victim as she sank upon the stairs.
That is all the police or anyone else
knows of the Immediate crime.
HE CALLED OCCASIONALLY.
Van Horn boarded with Mrs. Westcott
up to about two years ago. She then
kept a boarding house on Spruce street
near the Florence Mission. After he
won no longer a boarder, he called on
Mrs. Westcott occasionally. The
neighbors gossiped about It. His visits
became less frequent about two months
ago.
Late in July Mrs. Westcott missed
$15. She had Van Horn arrested. He
was the only person liable to be gullt
who knew where the money was kejit.
Before the hearing he pleaded to the
woman to withdraw the charge. She
did so. It was after tins that he was
known to have threatened to "get
even."
In passing from the cellar-way to the
front door, the mother was seen by
Cora, the 9-yeur-old daughter, who ran
screaming to a neighbor's house where
she was cared for. The woman was laid
on the bed on the mnln floor of the house
and several neighbors did what they
could to staunch the flow of blood until
the arrival of Dr. W, O. Fulton and Dr,
Want-hard, Of the Lackawanna hospi
tal. They succeeded In temporarily
dressing the wound so as to make it
posisble to transfer Mrs. Westcott to
the hospital.
THE WOMAN CONSCIOUS.
At the house and In the hospital she
was conscious and able to gasp a few
words with great difficulty. She sev
eral times named Van Horn as the
guilty person.
The wound was a clean cut about six
Inches long. It penetrated the wind
pipe and laid bare one juglar vein and
the two carotid arteries. There was no
other cut on any part of the body, face
or limbs, showing that Van Horn did
the deed with deliberation and with
out a preceding struggle.
A peculiar condition of affairs was
found in the cellar. The house is on
the soutwest corner and faces Frank
lin avenue. There are two cellars, a
large one and a small one connected
by an archway. From the later a
short flight of steps leads Into the yard
t the southwest corner of the build
ing. Each cellar was neatly kept and that
Is why the presence of a quantity of
clean rags In the archway is peculiar.
The rags were arranged regularly and
In the form of a bed. At one end of
the pile was an improvised pillow made
out out of a bag stuffed with rags. The
police noted the very neat and tidy
condition of the cellar, which were en
tirely out of keeping with the crude
couch. It was argued that Van Horn
did not come In the cellar to sleep so
early In the evening, and, If he did,
that he would have ran up the outside
stairs or concealed himself when he
heard Mrs. Westcott approach.
ACTIVITY OF THE POLICE.
Patrolmen' Hawks and Parry, whose
beats were In the neighborhood of the
scene, were early at the house and Im
mediately despatched word to Lieuten
ant Davis and Chief Robllng. Special
Officer George- Wlckenhoffer, who was
among the first to arrived, scoured the
immediate neighborhood and then set
oft in the direction Van Horn took, In
quiring by the way if he had been seen.
Chief RoWlns, with one or two others,
who knew Van Horn by sight, hurried
oyer to the northern division of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad,.' suspecting that possibly he
would head towards'-Clark's Summit,
where he recently .worked. The track
as far as Tripp's crossing was patrolled
and every out-going train searched. .
Men were stationed in the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western yard and
others were sent to various cheap
boarding houses and other 'haunts
where he was known to have friends.
Telegrams were sent in all directions,
and the outlying precincts were tele
phoned to be on the lookout for the
fugitive.
The description sent out by the police
Is as follows: Age, 43, height, 5 feet 8
Inches; weight, about 190 pounds, broad
shouldered, dark complexloned, curley,
black hair and heavy mustache. When
last seen he wore a derby hat, dark
coat and vest and gray pants. His gen
eral appearance is shabby.
Up td 1 o'clock nothing had been
heard of him further than above noted.
The police held the belief, last night,
that he had not gotten very far away
and expected to locate him before day
light. It was supposed that he Is In
hiding somewhere about the city, and
being so well known cannot show him
self without being detected.
THE WESTCOTT FAMILY.
M,rs. Westcott is about 45 years old.
Her husband, Ira Westcott, lives In
Jermyn. They have a son, Samuel,
who is married and lives on Penn ave
nue, and two daughters, Emma, aged
23 years, who was at her brother's house
when the murder was attempted, and
Cora, the 9-year-old girl already men
tioned. Van Horn's wife is living with her
father in Dunmore. Van Horn is a
heavy, undesized man and has a broth
er who married one of Mrs. Westcott's
daughters. Another of his brothers,
John, is now' In the county Jail under
a charge of having enticed young girls.
The escaped culprit has several tlmeB
been arrested for petty misdeeds. He
Is an ex-rallroader and .recently worked
at Clark's Summit.
IN THE WEST.
Major Warren In an Interview Telia of
Growing Republican Strength
Beyond Chicago.
Major Everett Warren returned from
Milwaukee yesterday afternoon. He has
been attending the National Republican
league t-onventlon there, and was a
pusher of Mr. Woodmansee's candidacy
for the presidency. Major Warren was
asked his impressions of the situation
In the west. He said to a Tribune re
porter: "Politically, I think some of the Mis
sissippi valley states are debatable
ground at this time. I saw several of
the nutlonal committeemen from Iowa.
Kansas and Illinois at the Chicago
headquarters on my way back and I
llnd they realize the fight to be within
a few Btates.
"Kentucky, they clnlm.'is reasonably
Hure; Missouri is as likely to go for Mc
Klnley as Kansas Is for Bryan. They
are very conlident.
"It Is astonishing the interest people
are taking In the silver question. I
heard Congressman McClenry, of Min
nesota, at the League convention. He
is a marvel and Is In more demand as
a stumper than any other man on the
list. He said Minnesota Is certain to be
for McKinley. Ho is the favorite In
the betting on the result In that state,
and the odds are In ljis favor In the
betting in Wisconsin on the results In
those states, I mean. The people are
changing front rapidly In the west, and
hte Repugllcan ranks are sodldifylng
und closing up.
'Tho national headquarters at Chi
cago is a hive of industry. A whole
double store, as largo as the Globe
store in Scranton, is used for packing
and Phelflng documents. The Auditor
ium hotel is crowded nightly with call
ers on the national committeemen. No
such campaign was ever heard of In the
west. From what I saw and heard I
believe we're bound to Win, and that,
too, splendidly."
POLITICAL CHAT.

Side of the House.
The Fourth district Democratic pri
maries will be held today. The candi
dates are P. J. White, of Archbald; F.

Twentieth ward; ex-Jury Commis
sioner E. J. Ward, of Mooslc, and Fred
W. Warnke, of the Fourth ward, are

t. W. Morgan, of 1507 Washburn
street, announces himself as a candi
date for alderman of the Fifth ward.
The Democratic county committee
meets at the St. Charles, tonight, to
fix the date for the convention.
KELLY WAS FRACTIOUS.
Small, but Gave the Police No End of
Trouble.
William Kelley, of the Twentieth
ward, is small of stature but a half
dozen police officers experienced an
noyance when they officially placed
themselves to his path.
Kelley, or "Sugar," as he Is called,
was arrested Thursday night for creat
ing a disturbance at Music Hall. Of
ficer L F. Jones, although towering
far above hIB prisoner, was compelled
to use his club on Kelley's head before
the little giant could be controlled.
When locked In a cell at the police sta
tion Kelley was so violent that he had
to be handcuffed to the bars. The
fastenings were removed yesterday
morning and the prisoner was taken
before Alderman Howe. While there
he struck at Chief Robllng and the
head of the department floored the
prisoner in jig time. He was again
taken to the station house where he
now is, handcuffed to the bars.

ANOTHER SCHEME . .
FOR THE VIADUCT
Special Committee Proposes a Sort of
Omnibus Bill.'
TO BOND THE CITY FOR $300,000
With This Amount tho Viaduct and
Several Other Improvements Would
lie Assured, as Every Section of the
City Could Be Interested Detuils
of the Plan, Which Is Inlcudcd to
Please Everybody.
Select Councilman John E. Roche
and Common Councilman P. J. Nealla
and Joseph Oliver, of the special Joint
committee of councils appointed to
consider and report upon the viaduct
question, recently resurrected by the
West Side members, held their first
meeting last night in tho city engi
neer's office. City Engineer Phillips
and E. M. Clarke, who represented the
West Side board of trade, were also
In attendance.
After an hour's discussion it was
agreed, first, that the viaduct must
come eventually; second, that the plan
of building it on the southerly side of
the Btreet was the most feasible, and,
third, that an effort will be made to
have it again submitted to a vote of
the people at the spring election.
It Is proposed to pass a general city
Improvement ordinance providing for a
number of much needed Improvements
which can be secured only by bonding
the city. The improvement of West
Market street and Providence road,
the opening of Wyoming avenue
through Pine Brook and ureen Ridge,
the opening of Olive street and cer
tain streets on the South Side, Cherry
street In particular, are among the
projects contemplated.
To provide for all the Improvements
and the viaduct, it Is thought that
about 1300,000 will be needed. The city
can be bonded for $200,000, If the voters
will consent, and without their consent
councils can borrow $121,000, as that
amount of bonds will be redeemed on
Dec. 1 next.
An omnibus bill such a contemplat
ed will insure the support of at least
three-fourths of the councilmen, and
when the people are called to pass
upon it they will, it Is expected, be
overwhelmingly for It, as every section
of the city gets a slice.
AFTER THE BOTTLERS.
Retail Liquor Dealers Will Extend Their
Boycott Still After .the
Speak-Easles.
The retail liquor dealers association
Is now after the bottlers.
It dawned upon them during the
week that even if every brewery should
agree, and religiously live up to the
agreement,, to furnish beer to tho
speak-easles, theBe places could still
Becure a supply through the bottlers.
To overcome the difficulty the retail
ers at their meeting yesterday deter
mined to extend the boycott to the bot
tlers, if they do not observe the man
dnte sent out to the brewers. They
will be given two weeks to comply,
and any bottler who falls to Blgn the
agreement In that time will encounter
four hundred licensed dealers sworn to
patronize him no more. Soft drink bot
tlers are Included.
Reports from the delegates present
Indicated thnt the boycott against the
brewers Is more effective than was at
first expected. During the week. It is
said, wagons from- the boycotted brew
eries, were dally seen returning almost
as heavily loaded as when they started
out.
If this mode of attack does not have
Its desired effect the league proposes
to petition court to revoke the license
of the breweries that persist in sell
ing to speak-easles.

BABY DEATHS MDLTIPY.
Tiny. Stomachs Giro Out,

Utmost Strength Needed
to Withstand Heat
of August.
Lactated Food KecpsThcm Sturdy, Wcll
Fed and Steadily Growing.
These feverish days and nights make
It a question of life and death with the
babies.
It cannot be Impressed too often nor
too strongly upon parents that August
Is the most deadly month for children,
especially for those under G and for
babies going through thtlrsecond sum
mer, and that now is the time when
young children need the mort whole
some, nourishing, and palatable dlt
that can lie procured for them.
Lartated food is recognized all over
the country as tho most nourishing,
strengthening, easily digested, and pa
latable food that can be given the
baby. . .
Hot weather must not be allowed to
weaken the child's digestion nor pro
vent Its eating heartily. Many par
ents, knowing the vital importance of
SAVED FROM CHOLERA INFAN
TUM. keeping baby abundantly nourished in
hot weather, force the child to take
more food than it can assimilate, or
food that is ill adapted to hot weather
feeding.
High temperature, with such impro
per feeding, brings cholera infantum,
diarrhea nnd convulsions.
Mothers who feed their children on
lnctated food will have everything pos
sible for insuring baby's heulth.growth
and lasting linppiness. Lactated food
Is the happy achievement of a long de
sired substitute for mother's milk. It
Is known to Invariably make firm
flesh, a clear skin, bright eyes, and to
strengthen the child's body so that
diarrhea, cholera infantum nnd ex
hausting summer sickness do not gain
a footing. Lnctated food babies are
rosy specimens of genuine fun-loving,
noisy children, that develop strong
physiques, with,, large bones and mus
cles. ,
The tinly assured safety for pal,
weak, sickly babies In summer la for
mothers to stick close to a diet of pure
lactated food. The danger of over
loading the tiny stomach, and the con
sequent diarrhea nature's way of
dealing with Indigestion Is thus
avoided. Lnctated food Is the on per
fect substitute for healthy mother's
milk: Specialists In children's disor
ders prescribe It, and babies living on
It show how perfectly it Is adapted to
Infant summer fedtng. by their heal
thy condition, their plump, happy fac
es nnd their bright e'yes.
Mrs, H, A. Vreeland, of Windsor,
Conn., has tho Fame reason to llrns
lnctated food thnt thousands of other
mothers have, f-'he writes to the pro
prietors of lactated food:
"I send you herewith picture of my
baby, Vlra Roberta Vn-plaml, who has
been raised on your lart.tted food. It
iwas n -commended by th doctor nml
druggists, nnd it saved her life. Slio
was very sick with cholera Infantum,
and this wns the only nourishment slio
took. When eight months old slio
weighed !"; pounds. I can glady re
commend lactated food to any moth
