10 hbt:
Wlijreas, It Is desirable that the Cam
brlaiiltutual Fire Insurance compunv of
6cranYn, a corporation organized under
the laws of Pennsylvania, bo dlssohod,
becuis It Is deemed Inexpedient to con
tlnuo tlo business of tlio coiporatlon, for
the realms, first, thai while the company
Is unquestionably solvent the receipts, of
the camiuny for the lust few years and
at tho pment time are too small to Justi
fy a continuation of tho business, and,
second, because tho requirement that
each polcy holder shall stan a premium
note Is detrimental to tho business of in

Qeoigc K. Van Horn, who Is charged
with having murdered Mrs. Josephine
"Westcott hfeie on Aus. 28. 1890, was.
brought back to this city yesterday af
ternoon In charge of Lieutenant of Po
lice John Davis and Detective John
Molr. Last night he was airnlgned be
fore Aldeunan Millar and after the evi
dence of Coroner H P. Longstrect,
George "Wlckenhorfer ind Chief of Po
lice Robllng had been heard Van Horn
was formally committed to the county
Jail to await tho action of the grand
Jury.
Van Horn was cap t tired at "Wadena,
Iowa, Tuebday, June 28, and on Thurs
day morning at 9 o'clock tho two
Pctnnton ofllcer"! armed with the prop
er papers started for Harrlsburg to
have the papers endorsed by the state
nuthorltles. They left llarrlsburg nt
7.10 Thursday evening and on Friday
at 5 p. m. arrived In Chicago. A few
houis later they were again on the
train nnd pushing onward to Des
Moines, tho cnpltol of Iowa, arriving
there at E a. m. Saturday morning.
The attorney general of the htate,
Milton I'emley, was not to be found
there and they had to go to hl3 homo
at Iowa City. "When tho papers were
presented to him at 7 o'clock last
Sunday morning ho asked a few hours
to consider them. Three hour3 later
he told the oltlcera that to satisfy the
red tape that exists In Iowa they would
have to obtain a copy of the Informa
tion lodged with the alderman who Is
sued the wairnnt in tnli city. A tele
gram wad immediately sent to Scran
ton nnd at 0.30 Tuesday morning the
necessary paper arrived.
WENT TO SEE THE PRISONER.
When the telegram was sent foi the
papers Lleutunaiit Davis decided to
press on to Wadena nnd make sun
that the prisoner was not allowed to go.
Dctertlvc Molr remained In Iowa City
until the paper came and he then se
cured from the attorney general tho
certificate permitting the removal of
the prisoner. Mr. Penley wanted to
have the pappr sent back to Hnnls
burg for state endorsement but he
finally waived that piece of led tape
and Detective Molr went to West
Union, the county seat of Fayette
county, where Van Horn wns taken
after his c ;ture. His cell mate was
a man wh Is now on trial there for
murder.
After Lieutenant Davis paid his visit
to Wadena ho went to Union City and
was taken to the small Jail where Van
Horn was confined. He was in a largo
room with a number of other prisoners
but was immediately recognized by tho
lieutenant. Van Horn nl.so recognized
tho officer and as he approached ex
tended his hand. The lieutenant shook
It and found It cold and clammy ns
clay.
At 5 o'clock Wednesday evening the
officeis left West Union with their pris
oner. The weather ranged from 101 to
lOi In the bhado while they were In
Iowa and thev suffered greatly from
the heat. Thursday morning at S
o'clock tho officers reached Chicago and
passed through Pittsburg at 3 o'clock
yesterday morning, arriving here by
wy of Wllk'es-Itarre and Punbury nt
5.20 yesterday afternoon. On the- way
eist one of tho officers wns handcuffed
to the prisoner all the time. Van Horn
was quiet and docile but the ofilcers
were not disposed to take any chances
with' him. The further east they came
the more nenous Van Horn became
and yesteiday he chewed and smoked
tobneco almost incessantly Several
times he started nervously as 1 mous
ing himself from de;p, unpleasant
thoughts.
VAN HORN'S WANDERINGS.
On the way east Van Horn told the
officers that on the nlrjlrt of tho mur
der ho came up the cellar steps "with
Mrs. Westcott and Jumped over the
fence into the alley and then, "walked
rjontf tjulte rapidly to Mllllin avenue
and along Mllllin to Lackawanna. He
crossed that avpnuo at tho "V" pud
passed through tho alley in the rCar of
the wholesale block until ho got to
Cliff street. There '10 hesitated a mo
ment undecided whether to cross the
Hyde Park bridge or go down Bridge
street. He had baen somewhat Intoxi
cated but after leuving the Westcott
house rapidly became sober.
He decided to go down Bridge street
and when he reached tho Delaware and
Iiudton railroad he got on tho track
and walkcJ south until he was below
Hickory' street. Then he returned east
and went through the yard surround
ing the Lackawannx Iron and Steel
company's shops on the Jlats. A small
lrldge crossed tha Roaring Brook at
that point which brought Vaa Horn to
Alder ttreet, South Side. He followed
Alder street eastward to the mountain
and walked about four miles into tho
country until ho reached a cabin whero
he had once work'd. He slept there
for the remainder of the night and the
t.ext morning walked to Wlmmers
w here he arrived nt 8 o'clock. Next he
passed through Moscow and continued
on foot until ho reached the Erie nail
road somewhere near Haw ley. A
freight train carried him to Jersey City
and h'e there secured employment on
a canal boat that "was bound for Buf
falo by way of tho Erie canal. Six
teen days later ho reached Buffalo
where he woiked at one of the grain
elevators until December when he
crossed over to St. Thomas. Canada.
Tho greater part of tho winter was
spent In Ohio and In tho spring he
pushed farther westward. About 250
miles .."est of Wadena Van Horn has a
brother and ho paid seeral visits to
him. Tho brother was unaware of tho
charge that wan against him nnd ho
did not say aus thing to him concern
ing It.
HE RECEIVED LETTERS.
Several times he made trips to Wad
ena and West Union for letters and
he ndinlts that he received ono at tho
latter plnce. Who It came from he re
fused to say. The fact thit .'10 receiv
ed a letter shows that someone Inter
ested In his wclfaro had been kept ap
prised of his movements. On the day
before his capture Van Horn went to
the houne of h. man in Wadena, with
whom he had been acquainted whew he
wns a resident ol that place and made
application for work asa farm hand.
This man knew of the charge against
Van Horn in the east and as soon as
the latter left his house he lnXormcd
Constable Charles Henlman. Van
Horn hhs relatives In Wadena but he
did not go to see nny of them.
Constnble Henlman and his son-in-law,
Thomas F Jones, at once started
out to find Van Horn nnd learned that
ho had left town. Tho next morning
they found their man asleep In a log
cabin about two miles from Wadena
whero he had spent the night with a
man with whom he was acquainted.
The ofilcer covered him with his revol
ver but Van Horn quietly told him to
put It up that he would go with him
without any fuss. Nevertheless he was
led Into town covered by a revolver and
wns subsequently landed In the Jail
nt West Union. Ills captors will re
ceive the reward of U00 offered by
the county.
After being locked In the Jail he ad
mitted cutting Mrs. "Wcscott's throat
hut snld It was an accident. He was
strapping his razor In the cellar when
Mrs. Wescott came down. He began to
fool playfully with her and made a
pass to show her how easy It would
be to cut her throat. Ho Intended to
strike the dull side of the razor against
her throat but instead the sharp edge
struck tho flesh. He declared that he
did not know she was dead until he
wns placed under unrest. That state
ment he repeated several times to De
tective Molr and Lieutenant Davis.
ARRIVAL IN THE CITY.
Chlef-ot-Pollce Robllng had taken
every precaution to prevent any news
of the time of Van Horn's nrrival be
coming noised abroad. Ho did not
want a large crowd at the station.
When tho train nrrlved at the Dela
waie and Hudson at 6.20 yesterday nf
ternoon tho chief was there In citizens
clothes on the opposite side of the
track from tho platform whero passen
gers alight. As soon as the train
stopped, three dust-coveicd men
Jumped off on the side whero the chief
was standing. Van Horn was hand
cuffed to Molr and Davis walked on
the other side of the prisoner who was
shoved Into a cab standing back of the
Weston mill. Before half a dozen per
sons had tlmo to congregate the cab
was In motion and Van Horn was on
his way to the central station. The
route was Mifflin to Spruce to Franklin
to Mulberrry, by tho house wihere the
murder wns committed nnd thence out
Mulberry to the city hall. He was
locked In cell No. 2 of the Woman's
ward until the hearing In the evening.
While there the prisoner and Captain
of Police Edwards had a long talk. Van
Horn, the captain says, admitted cut
ting Mrs. Van Horn with the razor,
but ho did not think It was a deep cut
and did not know that Mrs. Wescott
wns dead until his arrest. He denied
that he had any trouble with her, but
a moment later said he was afraid she
would kill him. When Mrs. Wescott
entered the cellar he was strapping his
razor, ho said. He cut her but why he
does not know.
At 8.15 ho was taken to Alderman
Millar's office In charge of Davis and
Molr and there was met by his bi other,
Frank Van Horn, of Dunmore, and At
torney George M. Watson, who had
been retained as counsel for the ac
cused. Tho three men held a consulta
tion In the nlderman's private room,
which lasted about ilfteen minutes.
District Attorney .Jones nnd his as
sistant, W. Gaylord Thomas, were pres
ent to seo that the interests of the com
monwealth were properly cnied for.
DID NOT WANT A HEARING.
Soon after 8.30 Attorney Watson and
the prlbonor stepped from the private
nlllce into tho court room and Mr. Wat
son announced that they would waive
a hearing. To this District Attorney
Jones objected. Ho said he would llko
to call a few witnesses. Mr. Watson
said he could not understand why It
wns necessary to call witnesses, as his
client said he would waive a hearing
nnd go to Jail. Mr. Jones maintained
that In buch a serious case It was the
better practice to hear witnesses and
have a prima facie case made out be
fore making out a commitment. Alder
man Millar said he would hear wit
1 esses and Coroner Longstreet was
called.
He testified that he made an autopsy
on the body of Mrs. Wescott and found
a cut six Inches long on the neck which
had cut the Jugular vein and partially
severed the windpipe. Death was due
to hemorrhages caused by the wound.
The cut was clean nnd clenr and must
have been made by some Bhaip Instru
ment. Geoige W. Wlckenhorfer, who lived
opposite Mrs. Westcott, on Fianklln
avenue, on tho night of the murder,
testified that Mis. Fetherolf had called
him over after Mrs. Wescott came up
out of the cellar with blood streaming
from her neck. She suld, In the pres
ence of witness, Mr. and Mrs. Fether
olf, a Mr. Btlmble, nnd nn unknown
young man, that George Van Horn
had cut her. Witness went for a doc
tor and later In the night made an
examination of the cellar and found
tho steps nnd floor covered with blood.
His wife found a razor In the cellar,
which was covered with blood. This
testimony was only elicited after a
series of strenuous objections on the
part of Attorney Watson.
Chief of Police Robllng testified that
Van Horn left the city Immediately
nfter the cutting, and that great ef
forts were made to capture him. DIs
tilct Attorney Jones then naked for
the commitment of the prisoner, pend
ing the action of the grand jury. The
alderman started to make out the com
mitment. OFFERED TO AGREE.
"Wo offered to agree to that some
time," said Mr. Watson.
"You ought to havo done It a yeur
ago," replied Mr Jones, "and you
would have faved the chief of police
much trouble. You didn't do it until
you had to."
The commitment waj ready and Van
Horn was led downstairs to a cab, and
whirled off to the. county Jail, which
will bo his homtt for many months to
come.
Tho prisoner looks as If he had ex
perienced tough usago since ho left
Scranton, almost eleven months ago.
He has lost twenty pounds and his
black hair Is now strongly streaked
with gray. Ho wote a black sack coat,
torn at tho sleeve, which had been
turned a rusty brown by tho sun. His
once black derby hut was In the same
condition. His shirt and trousers were
better than tho coat and hat, but had
seen better days. Cheap, well-worn
shoes covered his feet. His hair was
rather long and uncombed, and a
beard cf several days' growth covered
his sun-bronzed face. He wears a
medium-sized moustache that Is dark
brown lu color. Ills forehead Is high
and begins to show signs of approach
ing baldness.
At the county Jail Van Horn was
weighed and tipped tho scale at 161
pounds. He Is 5 feet 8U Inches in
height, nnd about 42 years of ago. Ho
was assigned to cell No, 18, corridor 3,
tho sumo cell that Merolo occupied.

Again Scrnnton's Thirteenth regiment
Was left for camp. They left the city
last evening In a long train of Lehigh
Valley cms from the Delaware and
Hudson depot for Mt. Gretna and It
was probahly not until after daybreak
this morning that their Journey was
finished.
The departure was attended with the
tamo tinge of excitement, crowds nnd
adieus that have accompanied the
leave-takings In past years. At the
depot the soldiers were outnumbered
three to one by the hundreds of friends
and relatives who gathered to cheer tho
bluccoated fellows away.
During Its absence the regiment will
be officered as follows:

MARCH TO THE STATION.
A few minutes after 0 o'clock the
central city companies. A, B, C and D,
left the armorj 1 by Colonel Courseri,
a part of his stnfl nnd the drum corps
of 19 pieces. Tho march was through
Linden to Washington, to 'Spruce, to
Wyoming to Lackawanna to the station
where Companies E, of Honesdale; F.
of the West Side; G, of Montrose, and
H, of the North End were In waiting.
While large crowds lined the stieets
the throng at the station was of such
proportions that tho hundreds there
taxed the standing space along tho
platform and stretched Itself along tho
train, less than half of which was
alongside the platlorm. The majority
there were of the gentler sex and
young, and that many of them were
sweethearts was suggested by the na
ture of the adieus.
The regimental train was made up of
eleven cars. Tho one next the engine
contained the horses; following was a
combination car contalningthe baggage
and musicians, nnd next were nine pas
senger coaches, ono for each company
and one, a "headquarter car," In tho
center of the train and containing
Colonel Coursen and his staff. They
were Lehigh Valley cars and were
drawn by a Delaware and Hudson en
gine as far as Avoca,
Fach company contained Its full com
plement of men, the advance detail
considered, and will be recorded at
Monday's Inspection as 100 per cent,
present. Distributed beneath the seats
and baggage from one end of the train
to tho other wore fifteen or more boot
blacks, strikers nnd camp bummers,
nearly all of whom will enter camp
with the regiment this morning.
Colonel Coursen granted a brief in
terview to a Tribune reporter and said:
HE WASN'T ANXIOUS.
"Yes, I nm perfectly batlsfled with
the condition of the regiment In every
way. It Is well officered nnd I think
our rank and file Is composed of an
unusually Intelligent lot of young men
It's a command I am proud of. I un
derstand our Inspection will take place
on Monday. That's a handicap as we
will have little or no opportunity for
battalion drill before that time, but I
guess we will pass through tho mill
all right; I'm not anxious about It,
anyhow."
At 9.40 o'clock the train left tho stn
tlon amid a veritable din of cheers and
screaming good-byes.
RUSH STILL CONTINUES.
Thnt Tlrrcn Cents n Day r.rnv is
Keeping the Judges Busy.
Another hundred or so aliens were
up before Judges Archbald and Ed
wards for naturalization papers yester
day. Few were refubed, as those who
do not know their catechism or who
can not read realize that It Is useless
to go up for examination nnd Instead
of running the chance of being turned
down, apply themselves to the mastery
of English with a view of stnndlng tho
examination next fall.
No account has been kept of the
number who have sought or secured
papers during tho past two weeks, but
It Is believed the. figure will not fall
much short of four hundred
A new test Judge Archbald has adopt
ed Is to have the applicant mark a bal
lot, according to directions. This will
not only show whether or not a man
can lead English, but also whether or
not he understands. A man could read
Latin and yet not know Its meaning.
The samo way, a Frenchman for In
stance, might read English fluently, yet
would not understand the meaning of
tho words.
The ballot test, the Judge contends,
settles nt once every question of tho
applicants' Intellectual fitness to enjoy
the rights of citizenship and suffrage.
BROOKS STREET SWEEPER,
Demonstration of Its Merits Given
liefbro City Ollicials.
There was a test of the Brooks rtreet
sweeper yesterday in the presence of
Street Commissioner A. B, Punning nnd
Councllmen P. J. Nealls, Morgan Swee
ney, Charles Gordon and D. H, Reese.
The machine was tried on tho tyrlcl;
pavement between the car trncki on
Adams avenue, on the asphalt on I'enn
between Spruce and Linden, and on
the stone block on West Lludeu street,
whero the mechanism of the uweeper
got out of order and the demonstration
of its possibilities had to be discon
tinued. The test was very satisfactory.
Where tho roadway had been sprinkled
there was comparatively little dust. It
was noticed thnt the sweeper seemed
to be more cffectlvo on brick nnd stone
block than It was on the asphalt pave
ment. fltrpot f!nmmlqalnn. niinnlnt. a-v-

first scrape the pavement and then
