Van Horn, who Is to be executed Thursday morning for the murder of Josephine Wescott, was Im merse d yesterday by the Hev R. R. HulRln, of the Tripp Avenue Christian church, of Dunmore. The certnionv was nerfoinied In the presence of sev eral members of the church, the cleath watch and the ofllclals of the Jail. Rhv. Mr. RulRln Is Van Horn's pIr Itual adviser and he has iecn a dally caller at tho Jail. In his visits he reads the IJIble to him, pi ays with hlni and talks to him of his soul and the future. When Rev Mr. Hulgln first boKiin to talk with hhn, Van Hoin acted erv nonchalantly. He soon became Intel -ested, howeier, and was touched bv the words of the minister. The latter never leaes him without markincr some passages of Scrlptuie for him to read. The promises of God and com forting words by his disciples have won tho admiration, at least, of the con demned mnn and It is belleied that he has, at last, made him peace with God. He expressed his belief to Rev. Mr. I5ul- Bln nnil requested to be baptized. Anions the passnsres which he had read was tho one which said "He that belleveth and Is baptized shall he saved." Since he belleied. he deter mined to ho immerbed. The warden kindly oulered a baptismal font to be hnpiovlsed In tho jail. Van Horn looked a lepentant man as he walked to the baptlsti'iy. Ills taee was maikcd with lines of thought nnd he sighed heally while listening to the minister, who was clad In the robes of his olllce. Before propounding tho question which Is asked of all penitent bellev eis, his spltltual adviser ead some condoling passages of Scrlptuie- "Judge not that e be not Judged. For with wlint Judgment ye measure unto othets. It shall be meted out to you." "Though our sins be as stailet. they shall be white as snow." "He that confesseth mo befote men, hlni will I confess be fote my Fnther which la In heaven," anil tho words of the Savloi : "He that belleveth and Is hnptl'ed shall be saved." And the words of Peter on the day of Pentecost: "Repent and be bap tized, eeiy one of you, in the name of Jesus Chi 1st, unto tho remission ot j our sins and :,i shall tecelve the gift of the Holy Spirit." The minister then put the question to Van Horn: "Do jou believe with nil jour heart that Jesus Is the Christ, the Son of the Llilug God?" A moment's pause and the teply camp "I do." En tering tho water the minister solemnly said: "George K. Van Horn, by the authority of the Supieme Head of the church, I baptize thee In tho name of the Father and of the Son and of tho Holy Spirit." A reporter saw Van Horn aftPt wards and abked him how he felt, and he said "I am much relieved " His mother, who was also with him through tho ceremony, was much affected, but ap paiently glad that Gcorgo was piepar ing his soul to meet the Judge of all the earth. Following is the opinion of the supremo court In the case of the com monwealth against Joseph Keller, which was written by Justice Fell: The defendant. In support of the alle gation that he had ncted In telf-defcnse, wiib allowed at tho trial without objec tion to offer proof of threaU made by tho deceased. Homo thcuo tlm'ats had been made in the presence of tho de fendant, and neard by him; others hud been made In his absence and had not been communicated to him. In three of tho assignments it la alleged as en or that tho court failed to call tho attention or tho Jury Ui tho effect that should be given to uncommunlcatctl tin eats, and thnt In this remit cl the charge was In adequate and misleading. In connection with thcho assignments only that part ot the charge Is given which refers to tho effect on tho defendant's mind of threats madn by tho deceased Earlier In tho chat en tho attention of the Jury hail been called to tho threats which tho deceased and the accused had made against each other, nnel It was then ile.uly stated that tho purposo of this testimony was to throw light on tin relation In which they stood to eneh other and the condition ot their minds when they nut. It was said: "Hut In considering tho evidonco, ou will lteglu with tint which thiows light upon the relation of tho two men one to the other, mid these throats on tho one side or tho other. If you believe they were made, will show vou tho condition of mind of these two men when they came near or when they approached each other at least It will have u tendency to do that " WHY IT WAS ADMISSIBLE. It was foi the puiposo thus stuted thit tho testimony us to threats mado by cither was admissible. 1'ioof ot uncom munlc.itcd threats made by the deceased Was received as tending to show his mo tive and intention and thus glilng il&c to an Inference that In the fatal en counter he was the aggressor. Tho ef fect to bo given to such testimony might hao ibeen more fulls oxpjalned, but what was tald in the charge In relation to It was not misleading, and In tho ab- benco of a rcauest for more specific In structions on tha subject It cannot bo said that the chaigo was Inadequate. Tho photograph of the deceased was offered by tho commonwealth to rebut tostimony that tho defendant was a smaller man than the deceased. This Is a kind of testimonj which should be re celitd with caution. In a recent case, Beardsleo vs. Columbia Township, lbS Pa. C02, It was said by our brother Mitchell: "Photographs are competent evidence, and when properly taken are Judlclallj lccognlzed as of a high older or accuracj . See Uddersook vs. Com., 70 Pa. 34i). But in careless or Inexpert, or Interested hands thi v are capable of verv se rlous mlsrepreicntatlous of tho original. Bofoio they are peimltted to bo used In the trial, therefore, there should always bo preliminary proof of care and accuracy In the taking of them, and ot their relevancy to the Ibsuo beforo tlio Jury." On a question of size a photogiaph would probably bo less reliable than on one of Identity. But where other ob jects, whoso size Is known, are shown In tho picture, and appear therein to hae been nt the Mine dlstonco from tho camei.1 as the oblect whoso size Is bought to be established, a reasonably safe moans of comparison is furnished This was a full-length photograph, and tho witness who Identified It and testified to Its accuracy was represented In It, standing by the side ot the deceased. This gau tho Jury a sulllclently safe gulde. REMAINING ASSIGNMENT. Tho only remaining assignment which need bu noticed relates to the refusal of the court to direct the district attorney to call a witness, Charles Lowu, whose name was on the bill of Indictment. To the request of tho defendant's counsel, the district attorney replied tint ho had called all the eye-witnesses to the occur ence, and the court sustained this re fusal to call the witness on the giound that his testimonj, would be cumulatlvo nierelj,. It uppears that this wltniss saw tho shooting, and that the fact that ho was present had been disclosed by wit nesses beforo examined. The offer should, howeier, be Judged In tho light In which It was presented to the court at tho time-. The statement of the district attorney that he had tailed all tho eye-witnesses was not controverted and tho fact tint other witnesses hail testllled to the pus otto ot this one was not called to tho attention of tho couit. It then uppearel to the court that the eio-wllness could hao testified only to the threats which had been mado some hours befoio tho encounter, as to which theio was no dis pute. The refusal to require the. common wealth to call this witness would not bo giound for revel sal even If It had np peaied that hu was present when Urn de ceased was shot. Sixteen ejo-witnesscs had nliendy been examined. While It Is the duty of the district attornej. In such a case ns this to present all tho testi mony on the material facts, whether ud erb0 to the defendant or favorable to hhn, the court In Its disci etlon may limit tho number of witnesses to bo called. TRIED WITH GREAT CAKE. There was not a withholding of testl mon tavomblct to the dctendunt or a failure on the rart of the district attor ney to picscnt to tho Jury all the mine rial facts It was the right of tho de fendant to have all the facts connected with tho shooting fully nnd fnltly dis closed by the prosecution, but It was not his right to have them rcpeuted over nnd over Indefinitely by nil tho persons who saw tho occurrence. The cno seems to have been tried with great cine Hiid ability In tho learned Judge, und the record discloses no error calling for a reversal Tho Judgment Is afllrmcd. The complete recnid In the case has also nnlveil und Keller will be railed for io-senlence within u few duys STILL SLlZimti ClUAllb, Over 00,000 Have Been Confiscated in This District. Reports of new sedzutes of Jacobs . Co. cigars are received by Collector Penman In nearly every mall. Since Saturday over .10 000 ot these cigars hae been confiscated In the Twelfth district. Deputy Broslus, of Lock Haven, re pot ts having come- upon 1,300 In one store, and 275 In another, at Lock Ha ven; two lots ot "ii!G each In Renova, nnd two lots of 2,600 and 1,030, respect ively In North Bend. Deputy Weaver, of Easton, writes that he has found a dealer there who has a bill for 10,000 Jacobs & Co. cigars that were shipped on April .15, three days after the factory was seized. If thry arrive they will be turned over to the government Plttston turned up two lots, one of 600 nnd the other of f.,930, und nt Dan ville, Deputy Buckingham discovered a lot containing 7,650. This makes over 60,000 cigars bo far confiscated In this district. DO NOT STAND ON CAR PLATFORMS IF THERE IS ROOM INSIDE TAKE A SEAT. Supremo Court Decided Yesterday in the Thnyno Case from.

SPECIAL SESSION CALLED Councils are Convened hy Mayor to Consider Matter of Asphalt Re pairsTalk of Resurfacing Paves Out of Bond. Millar & Peck, Councils will meet tonight in special Joint session In i espouse to a cnll by Mayor Molr to consider the question of asphalt rcpalis Just what will ho done It Isn't safe to predict, but this much Is known: A resolution will be Introduced request ing the mayor and contt oiler to make a conttact with the Barber Asphalt com pany under the terms of the repair otdlnance and the company's bid. If this passes and the probabilities are that It will. Mayor Molr and Controller Howell will observe the request, It is understood. When the contract Is executed the Barber company will proceed Imme diately with the work of repair. Thete was some talk about the city hall yesterday of Ignoring tho present contract altogether nnd entering upon a new one for the resurfacing of all streets now out of bond. It Is esti mated that this could be done for about $60,000 and If a ten year guarantee was given with tho wnik It would virtually save the city $00,000, minus what It will cost ot care for Mulberry street, Clay, Vine and Jefferson avenues, which will In the Interim go out of bond. These estimates, however, would ap pear to be decidedly rough when mathematics arc applied. There are 159,570 squat e yards of asphalt out of bond. A fair estimate of the cost of resurfacing would be $1 per square yard. At this rate the resut facing nlone of a portion of the streets would cost within $151,630 of what the Baiber company wants to keep all the asphalt pavements In repair for the period of ten years. EX-SERGEANT RAFTER ENLISTS Was Sent to the Far-off Philippines Yesterday. Eight more men wete sent yesterday from the lecrultlng station on Spruce street to serve for three years In the United States army. Six were fiom Scranton and two were from WilUams- port. Among those from hereabouts was William E. Rafter, former sei geant of Company I, Fltst Volunteer Engineer corps, which did duty In Ponce harbor, Poi to Rico. Several of hist let ters were published In The Tribune. He goes to the Philippines. The men sent yesterday were Tru man L. Wise and James O. Miller, Wllllamsport. cavnlry, to Fort Colum bus.

Olmstead Is a na tive of Hlgglns Lake, Mich, and was a member of Company C, Ninth legl ment, P. V. I. AN EQUESTRIAN SURPRISE. The ense of Edward Thnyno against the Scranton Railway company, which was decided yesterday by the Supreme court, Is u victory for tho compnny In a matter of oonldotaWe Importance. Tho case was nn appeal from thejudg ment ot the Superior court reversing a Judgment In favor of the plaintiff In the common pleas of this county. In asmuch as two Judges of the Superior court dissented fiom the Judgment of tho court Ittelf, the Supremo court nl-lowe-d the writ of appeal and the case was argued In February, Hon. John V. Kelly representing tho plaintiff, nnd Attorney Everett Watren tho defend ant company, before the Supreme court. Judge .Tessup represented the Traction company In the trial of the case In common pleas hero, when a ver dict was tendered In f.ivor ot tho plain tiff for tho sum of $S50. The plaintiff was a passenger on one of tho Traction company's cars, on the Providence line; was standing out on tho platform, smoking a cigar. At or near the power house on tho Diamond Hats there was u colllblon, causing damage to the car upon which the plaintiff was titling and he stiuck the dashboard In some way so as to re ceive severe Injuries. Tho lower couit submitted the case to the Jury and a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff. DECISION REVERSED. Tho Superior couit reversed tho Judgment of the lower coutt on tho ground that tho plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence, because he was on the plntform riding when there was ample room Inside the car. The Supreme court has affirmed tho Judg ment of tho Superior couit and the case Is now ended. The importance of the case Is very much In excess of the amount Involved, liecauso it Involves the right of passen gers to ride on the platform of cats, when there Is ample room inside, and then claim damages If they are Injured by reason of their position on the car. In the matter of Robinson's estate, Haeberly's appeal from the common pleas of this county, the decree was alllrmed hy the Supiemo court. The appeal grew out of tho account of Charles II. Welles, trustee for the widow of "William Robinson, deceased, and Henry Armhrust, guardian of Lena and Amelia Robinson, children of Will lam Robinson. The widow of William Robinson married Mr. Haeberly some time ago and the question In dispute was the distribution of one-thlid of tho amount of money going to the estate of William Robinson by reason of the sale to the Pennsylvania Central Brew ing company, the dispute being whether It should be distributed as real or per sonal estate. AUDITOR SUSTAINED. The matter came up before E. C. New comb as auditor and he decided that the bulk of the fund should be distributed as real estate, which secured the same to the chlldien ot William Robinson ultimately. James II. Tor rey, representing the widow of 'Will iam Robinson, now Mrs Haeberly, ap pealed to the Supreme coutt. The judg ment of our court, aflhmtng the report of the auditor, Is aflltmed, and the dis tribution made by him, vesting the bulk of the money, becured by tho sale of the property, In the chlldien. Is de termined Anally The amount involved Is unwatds of one hundred thousand dollars. In the matter of Crelghton vs. Scran ton Lace company, Chappc'l s appeal from the common pleas of this county, the order discharging tho lule Is le versed, and the rule reinstated with ellrectlons to award tho same prayed for, unless it shall appear that there Is no party before the court entitled to ask for It.

Last Show of Season at Gaiety. The last show of the season at tin Gaiety theater ptoves to be one of the most entertaining. The musical ie.it uie3 by the white and coloictl per forniets of tho Mctiy Widows' Bur lesque company were very good throughout the enteitnlnments yester day and the specialty acts were- ex ceedingly tunny. The singing of the colored male quuttcttc was highly ap pi eclated and heartily encoted. Tho comedy sketch of Tom and Gertie Grimes was one of the best of the season, and the Powell Sisters, "who sing Just to please the bos," were very successful. Satllle and Young, the California vo calists, and Howard, the contortionist, were excellent, and the balance of the olio, In which Beeson nnd Miles, Mlg non and Lulu and Thomas W. Mack appeared, was pleasing. The Merry Widows company will appear at the Gaiety until tomorrow evening, with matinees elally, closing the season to morrow night.
