A Grand Awakening Which Shall Last

A Brighter Outlook Than the World
Has Ever Before Known.

Changes are constantly taking place
which tend to make the world happier
and to cause feeling of joy and content
ment to pervade our lives. One of the
greatest blessings which has fallen to
mankind and which is indeed the dawning
of a new era of life, has just taken place
in the well-known family of Mrs. Albert
Blanchard, residing at 1853 Webster Ave-,
Chicago, Ill. She writes the following in
teresting letter:

HIS FEE WAS 500.
Senator Roaesch of New York Explains
Things

New York, June 7-The members of the
Senate police investigating committee had
a long consultation today before they took
their seats. Senator Roaesch was the first to
take the witness stand. He said:
Whatever Mrs. Thurow or her husband
said with regard to giving money to me for
protection from the police is false. Mr..
Thurow came to me one evening and told
me his wife.wanted to see me. 1 told him to
bring her down to my office in the Stewart
building. She came down a day or two
after, and told me she was prosecuted by
Captain Doherty. who put a policeman to
watch her house. She told me she was run
ming quiet house, l said: Mrs. Thurow, l
am a lawyer and my fee is $780, She pro-
duced the money and laid it on the table. /
called in my brother Charles and told him
to charge Mrs. Thurow 800 for legal SER
vices. l took the money and gave it and a
charge slip to Henry M. Peterson of my
office to enter in the ledger. Mrs Thurow
never gave me any more money, and no
money was paid at the club Then Justice
Roesch said: "a few minutes after six last
night he was called upon by two men who
gave the name of Julius Fleisch, East
Houston street, and Otto Weissberger, who
told him Mr.. Golf had subpoenaed Mrs.
Fischer to give evidence against him.
Weissberger told him the matter could be
squared and Mrs. Fischer bought off. I
told them, ns..saidss..J Roesch, 4 would
have nothing to do with them if they had
anything to say to me I would be in court
today"
- In answer to the question by Mr.. Golf the
witness said he had keepers of disorderly
houses for clients, but never promised them
police protection. He never took money as
a Tammany leader to secure protection. As
Tammany leader he could have nothing
to do with Mrs. Thurow, but as lawyer he
accepted 500 from her.
Mr..Roesch being asked to name others
keepers of disorderly houses whom he had
as clients named Mrs. Fischer She paid
him $500. The witness got very indignant
when asked if he had not been asking
people in his district not to come before the
committee, and said the insinuation was in
famous. He admitted having had Sergeant
Scheyer transferred because somebody else
wanted his place. He always helped
political friends. sMr. Roesch also character
lied as infamous the insinuation by Mr.
Golf that the account book the witness had
brought to court for the purpose OF show
ing accounts with Mrs. Thurow and others
had been prepared since the committee be.
gan the investigation. He never received
money for having men appointed on the
police force or in the fire department.
Lena Cohn was called to the stand tc
identify Capt. Seibert and detectives Far.
rell and Brennan. She identified the two
detectives. Captain Seibert stood up and
Mrs. Cohn identified him as the Captain she
talked to in the station house. Other
witnesses were heard and the committee
adjourned.

FLOODS IN THE WEST.
Continued Reports of Damage Done by
Floods and Storms.

Denver, Col, June IA second storm
occurred Tuesday afternoon in the Ar
kansas valley and up Clear Creek canon,
that amost equalled in severity the un-
precedented floods Of last week Wires
were down until yesterday, and it was
not until then that communication
could be obtained with the interior. The
Denver & Rio Grande suffered the worst.
ALI the repair work done last week in
the Arkansas valley, between Pueblo
and Florence, was destroyed, and it is
believed q week must pass before trains
can again run up the valley.
Reports came this morning from
Vancouver that a Raymond q Whit
com b excursion train, with large party
of NewYork and New England people,
had been wrecked near the Fraser river
by cloud burst, and that forty people
had been killed.
The United Press OF New York imme-
@diateIy investigated, and found that the
report was untrue. The train reported
wrecked is safe and sound, and all hands
are well.
Northport, Wash, June IA messen-
ger arrived here today from Nelson with
the report that Kalso, B. c., was swept

STOPPED BY HIGHWAYMAN.
d. j. Randall Of This City Had An
Experience

On Lonely Road at Harpswell-His Horse
Stopped by a Man Who Attempted to
Enter the Carriage-A Lucky Escape
for Mr.. Randall and a Deserved Pun
ishment for the Tramp.
D.J. Randsllsof this city had an odd
experience this week, and one he will be
apt to remember. He was called to
Harpswell on urgent business, and ITO
save time went by rail to Brunswick,
hired team and drove to Harpswell,
returning in the evening.
1t was very dark, and Mr.. Randall was
letting the horse go about as he pleased,
being himself unable to see the road
through the woods. At last he struck
longish bit of rising ground, and when
at the top. the horse stopped and seemed
to be unwilling to move. Mr.. Randall
was confident that someone must be
standing at the head of his horse, but it
was too dark for him to make the party
out. At last there was a slight move
ment. and the next thing Mr.. Randall
knew man was standing by the side of
his carriage, and face was thrust in,
the party holding fast to the side. MIR.
Randall said nothing, but gave the
horse sharp cut with the whip, and
had the satisfaction of knowing that
he left his unpleasant visitor rolling in
the dust behind him. The party was
probably tramp who had taken that
method of holding up the first passer-by
perhaps with an idea of getting a ride,
but more likely with other and more
sinister intentions.
