A. VAN HORN DEAD
Former Law Partner Of Il en-
ry Melosh and Member
Of Old Jersey Family
Passes Away.

Abraham Van Horn, former lawyer
partner of Henry J. Melosh, and who
retired from his profession in January
last at the age of fifty-seven years,
died at his home No. 400 Communipaw
avenue, this morning. He celebrated
his ffty-seyenth birthday on January 16
last. Death was due to liver complaint
Mr.. Van Horn was member of the
famous Van Horn family, to whom the
Dutch Governor in 1914 granted a vast
tract Of land, including nearly all the
Lafayette and a good portion of the
Bergen section and land bordering on
the Hudson River.
The deceased was unmarried He
graduated from old Hasbrouck Institute
down town, and subsequently, from Rut-
gers College in 1859 He became an
attorney in 1873 and was made conn
sellor IN 1876. He joined the law firm
of Flemming, Van Horn and Van Cleaf,
but in 1886 entered into law partner
ship with Henry J. Melosl, which was
continued up until last Ianuary, with
offices in the Weldon building
A unique incident in his career is the
fact that about hve yeaFs ago he re-
turned from trip abroad to read long
obituaries Of himself in the local and
New York papers. He was greatly
amused. The mistake was due to oper-
ators of the cabiegram system. Mr..
Van Horn at the time was stopping in
Nice. Italy. and met young lady from
| New York, who had received news of
the death of near relative a Mrs.
/ Courtney. In a gallant effort to assist
the young lady in distress he cabled to
his law partner, Mr.. Melosh. to make
inquiries into the death of Mrs. Court
ney. The cahlegram received by Mr..
Melosh read something like this:
IVAN Horn dead Please inquire of
Mrs. Courtney, No. Al West Thirty
| first street, New York
The cablegram was signed .'court-
ney''
No one knew a Mrs Courtney at the
| address given, but the mistake Of the
operator was subsequently explained.
| When the cablegram announcing Mr..
/ Van Horns death was received the re-
porters got busy and when Mr.. Van
Horn returned from abroad he was. as
stated before, much amused at the obit-
uary notices published.

FINLAND IN FERMENT .

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. z 1905
The news of the assassination of Pro-
curator-G General Soininen, Of Finland,
was not generally known in st. Peters
burg last night. but when it becomes
public it will be regarded as the pre-
cursor of an era of terrorism for which
the events of January in st. Petersburg
and throughout Russia have been the
signal.
The Russification Of Finland has been
bitterly opposed, especially since the
party Of Active Resistance was formed.
At last November's conference in
Berlin of Russian revolutionary parties,
composed of Representatives of the Fin
nish Active Resistance Party, the Pol-
ish National League. the Russian eman-
cipationists and other revolutionary or
carnations, programme for concerted
action was arranged The slayer of
Soininen undoubtedly was in touch
with the dissatisfied element throughout
Russia.
Never before have attacks against the
Russian Government been in closer CON
nectien, as has been revealed BY the uni
yersal spread Of the strike: The latest
assassin. though inspired by the woes Of
the Firms, undoubtedly was also aetuat-
ed by the slaughter in St. Petersburg
and elsewhere.
The murdered official was the adviser
Of the Finnish Senate. which Incurred the
enmity of the anti Russian parties en as'-I
count Of is alleged subservieneg g the
process Of justification. Soininen eviS
IDENTITY was selected as tie representative
and responsible victim.

LONDON, Feb. I, 1905. The st.

party to review the situation, with the
result that it has decided in favor of

The announcement that General Ku-

started in order chat negotiations to

Senator Minturn introduced another
