Young English Physician Decoyed to St.
Paul and Murdered in Cold Blood The Crime
Committed More Than Two Years Ago-Ar-
rest of the Supposed Perpetrator.

From the Cnlc6RO IlmeS, oeptemUel
Saturday forenoon 4 man named George l..
Van Solen was arres ted ut the Wheeler House.
in this city, by Detective Samuel Ellis, at the
instance of Chief Of Police McIlrath, Of ST.
Paul, MINI, on the charge of the murder of
DR.. H. Harcourt, near that city, in the month
of August 1865. For over eight months Nc
Ilrath has been engaged upon this case, and
his Investigations have revealed one of the
most coolly planned and perpetrated crimes
on record.
was young English physician of rare attain
ments, and who had lately come to this coun-
try in St. Louis, in the year 1864. at that
| time Van Solen was in the Government ser
vice, being employed rs q hospital steward in
| St Louis. Here he made Harcourts acquaint-
| ance, and probably laid the plans which he
| afterwards carried out. In the spring Of 1865
he was in St. Paul, and by means of decoy
| letter, offering Harcourt the position OF sur
| geon TO q bogus expedition TO Lake Superior
| and the British possessions, he induced Har-
| conrt to 20 to ST. Paul, taking with him 4
! large supply of medicines, surgical instru-
ments, personal effects, and quite IN amount
of money. After the arrival of Harcourt III
| St. Paul he soon mysteriously disappeared,
and from the subsequent investigations it
seems almost certain that he was taken down
the river 4 few miles by Van Solen, and muir
dered in cold blood. The only object or the
awful crime was to obtain the possession OF
the effects he had brought and the money
which he was known to have.
What first excited suspicious OIL 1oul play
was the receipt of letters by the mother OF
Harcourt in England-one from her son, in
forming her of his appointment, and enclosing
the decoy letter, and afterwards, a letter IN
answer to her anxious inquiries for him from
Van Solen himself-both of which We're in ex-
actly the same handwriting. 1t was also
found that after the disappearance Of Har-
court his friends in St. Louis had received
| letters purporting to come from him, and
dated - in the woods all Of which We're
traced directly to Van Solcn.
With these facts TO work upon, Mcllrath
! has for months been at work at the case, en-
deavoring to ferret out the hiding place of an
| Solen, and ut last, after tracking him from
| place to place, learned that he was in this
| city. Saturday morning that officer arrived
| here, and giving Ellis Il photograph of the
| supposed murderer, and the information that
| he was probably in some second-class hotel in
| the city, the Chicago detective started on the
search In less than an hour he had found
him at the hotel named, where he was en-
ployed in the capacity of night-watchman.
Since his arrest he has admitted that he wrote
| the decoy letters spoken of, and it is now al
most certain that he is guilty of this horrible
crime Ofiasr Mcllrath starts to-day for
ST. Paul with his prisoner, having brought
with him q requisition from the Governor OF
Minnesota.

Strange vicissitudes in the Life Of British
Eobleman's Son.

From the Decatur CTll.) Magnet, September 2lst.
Most If not nearly all of our citizens have no.
ticed 4 dissipated vehicle, somewhat resem-
bling circus wagon, located on vacant lot on
north Main street, in which resided an old and
poverty stricken man. Some time in the
spring, the wagon, propelled by couple of
attenuated horses, arrived in this city, and
the old man pitched his tent in the place men
toned, where, through the charity of the
owners, he has since been permitted TO dwell.
Here he has lived ever since, eking out an ex-
istence by the donations of our benevolent
citizens, he having disposed Of the horses for a
small sum.
Yesterday F. S. Murphy, Esq, one of our
prominent lawyers, received a call from q
Scotch gentleman named McGregor, who, af
ter long and weary search, had found the
individual named we have thus described
and whom he Identifies as the youngest son of
the late Earl of Clanricarde, one of the
weaIthiest and most influential noblemen in
Scotland
The story related by Mr.. McGregor is al
most marvellous in its details, and would fur
nish the materials for n first-class three-vo-
lume novel. Some forty years since the poor
old man who has attracted the compassion of
our citizens was a dashing and stylish officer
in the Life Guards. Becoming enamored of q
beautiful girl of humble origin, he married
her in opposition to the commands of his proud
father and remonstrances of his equally proud
elder brother. Being disinherited and thrown
upon the world, he sold his commission, and
years of yicissitudes upon a rugged farm in
the western wilds, his wife died, and broken
in spirit and sore in heart, he relinquished his
claim and roamed, without aim or purpose,
over the country.
During the Mexican war he enlisted rs a
private soldier, and served until the close of
hostilties. Since then he has been the COM
panion Of rowing Indians; deck hand on
steamboats,; 4 pedler, &C., until his arrival
in this city. BY the death of his elder
brother, which occurred about four months
since, he has become the possessor of estates
to the value of $4,000 per annum. His good
fortune, alas! has come too late. Prostrate
in mind and enfeebled in body, he cannot real
iZe, nor can he long enjoy, the princely fortune
to which he has fallen heir. Yesterday eve
Ming in care of Mr.. McGregor, he marked
on the eastern train en- route for his lordly
mansion in Inverness, Scotland. Fortune
smiled too late. His early love sleeps by La
Belle Riuiere, and he lives poor wreck OF his
former self-too imbecile to heed the frowns
or smiles of fortune. Reader, is not truth
far stranger than fiction? Events occur every
day that outriyal the widest dreams Of the
poet or rOmanciSt

Chean Gas Mt Inst.
From .ha Washington Rennb,,

EioiH tno W hsuihbtOu hcpuUllCdu.
Messrs. Smith & MCGOWAN, patentees, have
just received patent for the manufacture of
gas. This invention consists in the manufac-
ture OF gas from coal and coal tar, every par
ticle OF tar being converted into gas. By the
ordinary process of gas manufacture, large
quantities OF coal tar is made which is sold
for a trfle or suffered TO run off around the
gas-works. This invention Is to demonstrate
that coal tar Is the very essence Of the coal,
containing more gas than is now. made from
the coal itself In fact, by this invention coal
Is used more for the making Of tar than for
making gas, as no coal would be required il
coal tar could be obtained in sufficient quanti-
ties. For instance, in gas-works Of n hun
dred retorts they are each filled say with
three bushels of coal every four hours !;
whereas by this new process these same re-
torts would only require filling with coal once
in every TWEEN ty- four hours, the coal tar which
is made being sufficient TO supply the requisite
amount Of Illuminating material. These gen.
tlemen claim that by improvement superior
quality of gas can be made at twenty-f five per
cent. the present cost.
