WOMAN MAY DIE.
Mrs. George Leibermann, of Irving
Avenue, Terribly Cut by Her
Son-in-Law, H. Schluench,
of Cherry Street.

Henry Schluench, of Cherry street
South Scranton, made a murderous at
tempt on his mother-in-law, Mrs.
George Leibermann, last night. For
several months past an i'll feeling has
existed between Schluench and his
wife's parents, and the trouble came
to a climax by the son-in-law stabbing
the old lady with a knife several times
in the head.
Last night. shortly after supper,
Schluench went to the home of his
wife's parents on Irving avenue, corr
ner of Cherry street, Immediately up
on his arrival a querrel commenced
and a fight followed.
The young man drew his knife and
made three deep gashes on the head
of Mrs. Leibermann. She fell to the
floor and laid prostrate in a pool of her
own blood. Her husband entered at
that moment and made for his som
in-law. He is too old to cope success
fully with his son-in-law, and he too
was roughly handled. lie did not re-
ceivc any wounds.
Mr.. Leibermann, after freeing him.
self. lifted his wife from the floor and
carried her to bed. He shouted for
help, and nearby neighbors answered
the summons.
DIR. John J. Walsh was hastily called
from his office on Pttston avenue, to
attend the woman. He dressed the in
juries, but when seen by a Tribune re-
porter, he would not make q statement
aa to her chances of recovery. At mid
night her condition was critical.
The widest excitement was caused
in the neighborhood. The police were
notified and Patrolmen Peter Haggerty
and Victor Sartor responded to the call
They found Schluench in a nearby sa-
loon drinking glass of beer. When
informed that he was wanted he left
the place Immediately and accompan-
led the officers to the Alder street sta
ton house.
He declined to make ;Ay statement
with reference to the Gftair.

During the month Of February. 1858,
the collections for this district amount
ed to S5l,2SS.2i. indicating net tn
crease for the past month of S55.66o5i.
This Increase is partly due to the grad
ual upbuildiug Of the work of the
district and considerably to the extra
taxation provided in the war revenue
bill. For. since that bill went into
effect last June. the receipts uf the col
leCtor's office have doubled IN some
months and upon one occasion went
three times as large as they had "n
for the corresponding month of the
preceding year.
