There were oilier youiiK men with him In a similar state. They used the must foul and profane language all along the way and showed themselves to be rowdies of the first water. Itunnell was the conductor and he at tempted to eject Lankan, who was the most offensive, from the car.

Roberts and C.ileS Roberts decided yesterday to offer a reward of $200 fur the capture of (bulge Van Horn, the murderer of Sirs. Josephine Wescolt, and they have published official adver tisenients in nil the city daily newsptf pels to that effect. The county commissioners were wait ing fur tlie action of the coroner's jury. The verdict rendered Wednesday night, declaring that Sirs. Wescott was mur dered and charging Van Horn with the crime, brought the cae officially to the - . . , ' : I .1..... nonce oi ine commissioners miu inry immediately agreed upon offering the reward to the amount before stated. .Neither the police nor County Detec tive l.eyshon appear to know more about the murderer's hiding place now than they did the day after he stained his hands with the woman's blood. Ihey seem to think, though, that It will not be lomr before he Is caught. "It Is a most difficult thing." said Chler Kobling, "for a murderer to es cape, no matter what facilities ho had ut his command. He may travel across the seas and over the continents, but sooner or later he will run to the end of bis rope." Tills was exemplified In the case of Cresccnzo Merolo, the lirst man huniri'd In this county. He got to Italy and lived there nearly a. year, but after all he was captured. WILL START A CHASI1. Van Horn lias very little money and he is well known. The offered by the county commissioners and the $50 by SlayoV Hailey and Chief of Police Robllng will go a good ways toward starting a chase after him .which will hardly fail to result In his capture. The effect the offer of a reward Is having was attested In the stntlon bouse last night about It o'clock when two citizens living In the neighborhood ol the Westfott house, came 'Seeking Lieutenant Davis to complain of the veritable hordes of amateur detectives who were scouring the hack yards, nos ing through the outhouses and even prying Into the cellars. Some Imy reported during the even ing that he saw Van Horn somewhere in the locality. This brought all the sleuths who are working on the case to that immediate vicinity and caused a dozen or more wouldbe Vldocqs to turn detectives at once. Police were sent down to order the disturbers to quit the private premises. AT THE HOSPITALS. TnwCnx'H Brought to l.aekauaiina and One lo .Hose Taylor.

Sir. Moeller's only means of securing nn audience were a letter signed by several Scranton business men and a photograph of the regiment to which young LI and Lo Fung were attached In (lermuny. The likenesses of the two Celestials and the once corporal ap peared in the picture. The picture readily gained him an audience. CIIATTKD WITH HIM. Lo Fung Is one of Li's suite and first received the Scrantonlnn In an ante room. The viceroy had asked that the once drill-master of his son be brought before him, and so Mr. Sloeller and tli viceroy had a chat by means of the interpretation of General Drew. Sir. Sloeller, In speaking of the Inter view, said: "He inquired whether I luiil gone to New York purposely to see him, how far Scranton was from New York, and the expenses of traveling, how long I had been In America, and whether f liked the country as well as I did tlermany. The earl was very pleasant, and I remained about ten minutes. Then I left, as LI Hung Chang and party were to attend a banquet at ;:;0 o'clock. LI Hung Chang remained seated while he received me. He was dressed in full uniform of his station." ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Why Frank Gill, of Dunmore. Wished to Destroy Himself Is Not Known. ) Frank Gill, of Dunmore, a well hullt young man, 26 years old, fired a bullet from a .12-i-alibre revolver into his head back of the right, ear at 1."0 yesterday afternoon. It did not kill him, but for several hours afterward he was uncon scious. At a late hour last night he was resting quite comfortably wllh a fair chance for recovery. Drs. Garvey, Murphy and Winters were called to attend him. They did not probe for the bullet, and he still carries It In his head, with the indica tion that It will remain there if he sur vives in til is case. It would be danger ous to try to get It out now, and If he gets well there will' he no need to disturb the lead, us It will become en-cys-ted. What Impelled J 111 to commit the Iced lu not known. He was young, strong and cheer fill and though he wus temporarily out of work, he did not appear despondent nor troubled beyond a desire to secure ' employment. His home life wus pleasant and agreeable. A few minutes before he shot himself. he came In after being nway from home since morning. He entered the kitchen and passed on to the parlor. His sister heard n shot and going to the room, found him lying on the lloor with the blood gushing from his head. Since consciousness returned, to him he has not made any statement to explain w hy he did it. He is a son of Thomas Gill, of Pine street. WAS CARROLL MURDERED ?
