MooRE'S REMAINS.
Not Yet Located in the osterhou,
Ruins,

A force Of men is at work daily in the
ruins Of the Osterhout building search
ing for the remains of Detective Jo-
seph p. Moore, but as yet they have
not been successful.
The men have turned uD nearly all
the area under the room which Moore
was believed to have occupied, but no
trace Of his charred remains could be
found. There is now a theory that he
might have been aroused and wandered
to some other part of the building
through the Railways, and if this is SO
the body may not be found for several
days.

NOT A VERY GOOD ACTION.
Van Horn Did Not Deceive DR.
Wetherill.

DR. Wetherill, the insanity expert
who recently spent week in this city
for the purpose of ascertalning the
mental condition of George X. Van
Horn, the condemned SLAYER of Mrs.
Josephine Wescott has submitted his
report to the board of pardons. 1t is
TO the effect that Van Horn is not in
sane. The board of pardons will give
a final hearing to the case on Feb. 10.
Soon after Van Horns attorneys in
formed him that an expert was to come
here by direction of the board of par
dons to examine him. the Jail officials
observed quite a change in his manner
and many peculiar actions on his part
were noted that had not previously
been in evidence. Evidently DR.. Weth-
erill was not moved by these theatrical
tricks. Attorney George S. Horn has
been secured to argue the case before
the board of pardons. He has been
very successful in pleading before that
body.

HOTEL COLUMBIA PROPERTY.
Has Been Purchased by the Lake
Ariel Improvement Company.

The Lake Ariel Improvement COM
pany has purchased the Hotel Colum-
bia property at Lake Ariel from Simons
Brothers, and now has control of three
hotels at the lake and about all the
land surrounding It.
Negotiations have been in progress
for some time between the Improve
ment company and the Simons Broth
ers about the sale of this property.
The Columbia has a most desirable To-
cation and without It the Improvement
company's control of the lake property
was not as complete as is thought de-
sirable.
