The blowing of the whistles on Sat
urday afternoon was an indication that
a lire was raging somewhere in this
vicinity. Both companies promptly re
sponded to the alarm. The Are started
In a house owned by the Delaware and
Hudson company, which was situated
at the lower end of Vandllng, a dis
tance of two miles from this dace. The
Vandllng and Forest City companies
succeeded In putting the fire out be
fore any very serious damage was done.
Richard Jones and John Williams re
sided in the house. Their household
effects were badly damaged by tire and
water. The building, with the excep
tion of a portion of the roof, was
saved. There has been two Vandllng
tires In one week to which the Forest
City companies responded. There is no
doubt that both fires could easily have
been gotten under control without the
aid of our companies. Would it not be
a wise Idea to Jiave a signal by which
the companies would know If their ser
vices were needed before they started
out of their rooms on such occasions,
or when tires are outside of the borough
limits and not in reach of the bor
ough plugs. This would do away with
those two mile runs in cases of small
tires or false alarms.

that Van Horn, the Scranton murderer,
was seen on Railroad street early on
Monday morning. A man named Geo.
Ksmay while on his way to work saw
a suspicious character wearing a dirty
suit of clothes walking the railroad
tracks in the direction of No. 2 shaft.
The man was not employed here. Mr.
Esmny, knowing this noticing his np
pearanee, believes it was Van Horn.
The man was a little cross-eyed and
quite heavily built. He was walking
the railroad back of the town, seem
ingly cnloylng a smoke out of a corn
cob pipe It Is the firm belief of many
Forest City residents that the murderer
Is at largs in this vicinity. Suspicious
looking fellows are inhabitants of a
smnll shanty just north of the bor
ough. Sometimes they are seen roam
ing about the neighborhood as if In
starch of food. Forest City people have
visited their place of abode and have
come to the conclusion that they are
persons who have committed a crime of
someJilnd and are mnklng their home
In the woods in order to escape pun

one and four o'clock Saturday morning.
An entrance to the postoffloe was gain
ed by prying open the front doors, and
to Bliss & Hunt's store, by removing
a plate of glass from one of the doors.
They must have been a disappointed
set of thie-es when they got through,
as they obtained nothing in the post
olllce as the postmaster has become
nccustomed to such work, and takes
the stamps home with him. At Bliss
oi Hunt's all they obtained was a re

children. The youngest, a baby, and
the eldest, a boy of 15, were with their
parents at a dance at a neighbor 8

who were left at home saved herself
by Jumping from the burning house.
The others were burned to death.
The dead children are Callie, aged
13; name, aged 11; Clarence, 6; wii
lie, 7, and Julia, 3.
Nora, aged 7, who saved herself by
jumping, says that the children all
went to bed upstairs at the usual hour,
About midnight she was awakened,
and saw Are. coming up through the
lloor. he aroused the children, and
then rushed to the window and jumped
to the ground. Imploring the others to
follow her. They, however, were
afraid to jump.
In a few minutes Hat tie, overcome
by the smoke, fell to the ground, with
her youngest brother In her arms.
Just as they fell the Neals reached
