THE MURDERER SIGHTED.
Ucorgc Van Horn Supposed to Be
Hiding in the Erie Shaft.
It Is thought anions the miners of
Jermyn and MaynVld that C.eoiKe Van
Horn, the murderer who killed Mrs.
AVestoott. in Scranton, on the evening
or August 2S. is hiding In the old work
ings of the Krie shaft. This belief is
not imaginary, for his hiding place has
been diM-oveivd. The discovery was
made by Michael Uuddy. an employe.
It Is not certain that Van Horn occu
pied It. but that is the general belief.
While Mr. Kuddy wai wandering about
In an unused portion of the mine he
heard a noise as if some one was try
ing to escape detection. He thought It
was some one who had been stealing
the miner's oil or dinner pails. He fol
lowed the sound, and was at last re
warded by seeing a pair of legs as a
man drew himself through the roof and
up on the surface.
Mr. Kuddv told his experience to
Michael Harbour In this city, who is
mine foreman. Mr. Harbour made a
thorough search, and discovered a bed
and bedding. The remains of food, an
oil stove and rooking utensils were nlso
found, and copious files of the Scrwm
and Caibondnle papers, showing iiint
he desired to keep posted with public
affairs.
As Van Horn had friends In Mayflcld
and Jermyn who would be desirous to
help him in hiding himself, helps to ron
llrm this belief. A stric t watch is being
kept so that the fugitive will be cap
tured if he shows himself again.
A SERIOUS MISHAP.
Itnilroad Travel Delayed II a Horse
on Thursday.
Thursday afternoon a horse strayed
from the West Side, and in attempt
ing to cross the little bridge leading
fi i the gravity track fell between the
tics, t'ity Assessor .lames l'idgeon saw
the aclcdeiit and noticed that tho pas
senger train that leaves here at 0
o'clock was npproa liing, signalled to
the engineer and the train was stop
ped. It took about half nn hour to re
lease the horse and all this time the
passenger train was obliged to wait.
It whs fortunate that the accident did
not occur at night, otherwise u train
might have been wrecked.

SCIENCE AIDS JI'STICE.
Some Wnys in Which Crime Have
Ileen Detected and Proven.
From the Buffalo Times:
In no branch of knowledge are the
resources of civilization more conspic
uously displayed than in the Increas
ing perfection of the means now resort
ed to for the detection of crime. In
poisons, ior instance, the marvelous
delicacy of the tests employed Is bo
surely narrow ing the choice of those
which can be used with impunity that
It may be safely prophesied that when
once the action and character of every
known poison has been mastered by the
chemist, poisoning will not be resorted
to, except as a last resource, by crim
inals. I'p till now photography has not
fulfilled the expectations which were
formed of it. But It is in microscopical
examinations, nnd after the photo
graphing of the object examined In
magnified form, that the value of the
camera Is likely to be demonstrated.
A Well-known French detective tells
of a cose in which micro-photography
has clearly proved the innocence of a
man charged with murder. Several
hairs on the clothing of the victim
were found in color nnd texture to re
semble the hair of a person who, short
ly before the murder, had been seen
In the company of the deceased. But
w hen the aid of the microscope was in
voked it was seen that the ends of the
hair were pointed, which showed that
they had never been cut. Upon this
the man was at once released. Then
some hairs were taken from a dog be
longing to another suspected man. on
being brought before the magistrate
the man was so confounded when It
was suggested that during the struggle
bis dog sprang al the murdered man
that he at once confessed the crime.
THE SPECTROSCOPE.
In France the value of micro-photography
was also evidenced in the ense
of M. Rogier, whose body some time
since was lound In a cottage which
had been burned down, ill such a char
red condition that no thought of foul
play would have been entertained but
for other circumstances which tended
to fix the guilt upon a relative. A drop
of blood was taken trom the lungs nnd
examined speclroscopically. Its condi
tion was normal nnd showed that death
must have occurred before the cottage
was set on (ire. In this case also, the
prisoner, overwhelmed at the unexpect
ed nature of the evidence, confessed
his guilt.
The determining of blood stains by
micro-photography will provide Justice
with a new species of evidence, the
valueof whichlt will be difficult to over
estimate: yet the powers of this new
aid are limited, and it is In the attempt
to show the difference between the
blood of man and other mammals that
Its limitation becomes apparent.
A medical friend says that a woman
patient of his had been feigning indis
position by pretending to spit blood.
Had she known that under the micro
scope the blood of birds, reptiles and
fishes reveal in the centre of each
globule a particle known as the nucleus
she would probably have chosen the
blood of a mammal nnd not a bird. It
Is not so easy to distinguish between
the various bloods of mammals. To
begin with, the globules of both men
und animals are all circular, with the
exception of those of the camel, which
nre oval in shape. The differences.
when there are any, lie in the size of
the globule. The globules of a horse
nnd a mouse ure nearly of the same
size, while those also of man, do: and
rabbit show no dissimilitude In dimeu
Eions.
A well-known scientist says that on
one occasion he was able to prove by
the microscope that the stains on the
ax of a man charged with murder were
those of a goat, because the blood
globules of this animal are smaller than
those of man. Had the stains been
those of a dog, however, the microscope
would have failed.
IN CASK OF FORGERY.
As forgery seems to be a 'crime on
the Increase, it is fortunate that in
micro-photography Justice is likely to
iind a truly remarkable ally. An ex
pert on hund-writing who has discard
ed the old-fashioned method of com
paring loops, curls, nourishes and other
features of callgranhy. a short time
since was called on to decide which of
two documents was the original one,
It seems that the writer, whose cali-
graphy was in dispute, used frequent
ly, In sheer forget f ulness, at the com
meucement of each new year to write
the llgures of the old year which in
It is often (lillieult to convince peo
ple their blood is impure, until dread
ful cai'lntni'lts, abscesses, boils, scrof
ula or tall rlicimi, are painful proof of
the fact. It is wisdom now, or when
ever there is any indication of
Impure
blood, (o lake Hood's Sarsaparilla, nnd
prevent such eruption ami sulfei'inr.
"I had a dreadful carbuncle abscess,
red, fiery, fierce and sore. The doctor at
tended me over seven weeks. AVhen the
abscess broke, the pains were terrible, and
I thought I should not live through it. I
heard and read so much about Hood's
Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and
my husband, who was suffering with
boils, took it also. It soon purified our
built me up and restored my health so
that, although the doctor said I would
not be able to work bard, I have since
done the work for 20 people. Hood's Sar
saparilla cured my husband of the boils,
and we regard it a wonderful medicine."

this case were 1894 and then Immedia
tely alter them. Under the document,
the authenticity of which was believed
in, it was clearly seen that the altera
tion had been made before the Ink had
dried, the two Inks being'amalgamated.
in tne otner document, the alteration
presented an unbroken outline, which
meant that the alteration had not been
made till after the ink had dried. As
the document consisted only of three
Hues written with a thick quill pen,
the conclusion was obvious.
A check for Jlti.oou was disputed In
New York recently, and the check had
been sent to the expert to report on.
There was nothing In Its appearance
to arouse the slightest suspicion, slill
the check had leen originally drawn
for $1,000. and this fuct the little In
strument at once revealed. The space
reserved ior the written flirures had
been most dexterously cut out and un
uther piece substituted, the Joins being
quite Imperceptible to the naked eye.
Then by altering one to four and plac

for the miscroscope, which showed ul
so that two sorts or inks had been used,
would have detied detection.
