MURDERER WINDIsCH CAUGHT.
The Slayer Of His wife Located In West
Virginia Rstrsst assd Promptly NaeDcd'
History Of the Crime.

History Of the Crime.
News came from West Virginia yes
terday TO the effect that wife-murderer
George windisoh. Of Pittston. had been
captured In that state. Detective James
O'Bren sent the dispatch and II proves
beyond q doubt that at last the au-
thorities have secured the right man.
The crime was one of the most hor-
rible In the annals Of Luzerne county.
, which Is noted for Its horrible murders.
1t was committed In Pittston on April
4 but was not discovered until the fol-
lowing Sunday. By this time windsor
had time to get out Of the county. and
left absolutely no clue as to his where
abouts. A number Of detectives tried
to locate him without success, all
believing that ne had gone to Ger
many. Detective O'Brien and Chief of
Police LOTUS OF Pittston. investigated
the case thoroughly. and held to the
theory that W1ndisch was still on this
side OF the ocean. which theory was vim
dicated by yesterdays telegram. Chief
day with the acquisitions and other nee
essary papers. and windisch will prob
ably be brought back to this city today.
On Thursday night. April 4. the
neighbors q the Windisch family heard
the parents Quarrsling, but the noise
soon ceased. and nothing more was
thought Of It On the next day the
children went to school as usual. but
the parents were nowhere to be seen.
On the following day. Saturday. the
two children played around home as
formerly. but neither Windisch or his
wife being visible. the neighb0rs began
to talk about It and make inquiry.
Next morning they went to the Win
disch house ana upon entering the par
lor a horrible sight greeted them inside.
The floor was covered and the walls
bespattered with blood, and evidence
Of a struggle were seen on every side.
In the center Of the room lay the form
Of Mrs.. windiech, an old piece OF carpet
thrown carelessly over her body. but
her face was uncovered. The eyes and
mouth were wide open. and the whole
top Of the head had been crushed to a
pulp with repeated blows. A large
carpenters chisel lying close by. its
handle and blade covered with clotted
blood told the story of the crime. The
crime was attributed to Windisch by
the coroner's jury, and for a while 1t
looked as though he would get away
but now it Is assured that the right
man is captured in spite of many false
reports. and justice will at uast be
done.

South Hollands Danger.

We trust that the Dutch scientific
writer Van Rijekvorsel may be mis-
taken. That gentleman las deemed il
his duty, in view of the popular uneai
ness produced throughout Holland by
the recent storms, to come forward III
the character OF an alarmist.
For many years he has been making
what he calls magnetic study" of the
country. His investigations have con
WINGED him that unless proper precan-
lions are taken the province of Seath
Holland runs a serious risk of disap-
pearing permanently from the map of
Europe.
Much money has been expended in
preserving the islands of Walcheren aud
Vheland from the seas incroachments.
The weakest and most threatened point
on the whole coast, however, is really
Schevenipgen, near The Hague. The en-
tire coast line between that village and
Rotterdam is in more immediate danger
of being engulfed by the sea.
Were such an event to take place it
would be very different matter from
'polder' being submerged and subse-
quently drained as soon as the dikes are
repaired. Pail Mall Gazette.
