Surprised BY woman. He Flees and Take
Two Long Leaps From Roofs.

Two Long Leaps From Roofs.
The police Of the East Eghty-eighth
street station have prisoner whom they
consider one Of the most daring they ever
saw. He Ia Thomas Roberts, an electri-
clan OF S0l West Thirtieth street, and he
gained his reputation by jumping from the
roofs OF two buildings yesterday after
noon, and then, though painfully injured
crawling down three flights Of stairs and
keeping a. mum as an oyster while the
police were searching for him. r. :
Roberts began his acrobatic stunts when
Mrs. Sarah Spite entered her apartments
ON the fourth floor Of 12l East Eighty-sec-
ond street late yesterday. At that time
he was In the rooms for no good purpose
While Mrs Spite ran down to tell the police
he went up two stories to the roof and
jumped down upon the roof Of the four
story building at l2s.
As he struck the roof he sprained an ankle
but the injury did not swerve him in the
least from his plan of escape. Next the
building on which he then was is the SyAa-
Rogue xeshurum Kehilath. Roberts leaped
twenty test to the roof OF the synagogue
and here according to his story to the
police, sustained sprain OF the other
ankle, fracture Of the left wrist and
cut on the head.
Crawling along on his knees. Roberts
then proceeded to the scuttle, pfied 1t open.
and, though the pain was excruciating,
managed to crawl down to the basement Of
the church. He hid behind a pile Of rubbish,
but Koundsman Hawkins and Detectives
Fay and BTeen discovered him half an
hour later. He was glad they found him,
he said, for he could not have stood the pain
calling for help. k+ K

The big coats have numberless pock-
cts, and the cape styles are now to the
fore here as we'll as in more dressy
toilets. Coats are made of various ma
terials; waterproofing, linens, pongees
and other silks. The pongee is very
sensible and pretty choice, easily parts
with dust, can be laundered, if neces-
sary. The gayest of colors will be seen;
violets, pale blue, yellow, even scarlet.
When the latter is worn in one of the
flaming red machines, the effect, to say
the least, will be noisy.
The shirt waists favored are of light.
weight wools,. the green and white COM
bination much liked. Wells do not
change much; some hoods are used
that on occasion may envelop the hat
and whole head
Plaids bid fair to become very popu-
lar; one sees waists, both of vestings
and of silk, in beautiful rich plaids. The
leading colors are plums, greens and
raspberry reds. Mohair continues in
high favor, and white mohair is espe-
cially liked The separate waist" has
triumphed over all its enemies, is
strong and lusty once again. We need
no longer worry if our costume is not
all the same color, from tip to toe.
White waists are much in evidence,
the lingerie ones often described the
favorites. Waists of China silk are
displayed in the shops in variety of
excellent designs and materials, and are
snapped up by women who realize the
white waist is to have full reign this
season.
How do you like this hat? A blue
horsehair of softest shade, bedecked
with wreath of moss-rose buds. The
hat is of the fiat sort.

GEN. HARRlsoN's GRIT.
A "Reminiscences Of the Battle of Re-
SAGA by One of the Men Who
Were There.

"Ex-President Benjamin Harrison
was as brave a soldier as ever went into
battle for as a member of his regiment
| saw him tried in more than one place
which put the courage CT men to a su-
preme test" said Mr.. j. l.. Ketcham, a
prominent manufacturer of Indianap-
oils, at the New Willard. "Mr. Harrison
really never had the opportunities that
fell to some others, but | have always
been of the belief that he had in him
the elements of a great military chief
tain, as we'll as of leader of men in
times of peace.
lt was at the battle of Resaca that
l saw him give an exhibition of grit that
was an inspiring spectacle. 1t was a
beautiful Sunday morning, the 18th of
April, 1864. Our brigade of five regi-
ments was encamped on a height
crowned with grove of fine trees. The
confederates were posted on another hill
some little distance away. and this was
covered with about as dense a growth
OF underbrush as | ever saw. We knew
That the guns of the enemy were con-
cealed In this thicket, and pretty soon
the word went around to fix bayonets'
mat, OF course, meant that we were to
charge on the foe and take his guns if
we could. An order to fix bayonets' is
one of the most serious that can come
into a soldiers ears, for it implies that
desperate fighting is imminent, and that
the hours of his life may be few.
But most of us were young and
Jealous, and, nerving ourselves to the
bloody work ahead, we prepared to dash
down our hill, across the intervening
hollow, and at the confederates. 1t was
Just at this time that Harrison. at the
head of his regiment, yelled out in his
peculiarly ringing voice: Come on,
boys, and shout for Indiana He was
answered by wild hurrah. and forth
with we charged on the run. all thought
of danger forgotten and animated by
the example of our colonel, who ex-
posed himself with utter fearlessness.
On account of the dense underground
we were at terrible disadvantage. nor
did we find out till later that back of
their cannon the southerners had strong
earthwork defenses. At first they gave
WAY, then they rallied. and at least $50
of our brave boys went down in face of
their deadly fire.
Among those hurt was my good
friend Maj. Daniel Ramsdell. now secre-
tary of the United States senate. who
lost an arm in the charge. l didn't
mean to give you history of Resaca,
but will finish by saying that we waited
TILL night and then we invaded that
thicket and took the guns that we failed
OF capturing that day. Washington

SOLDIERS WATER TOWER.
Odd Structure Erected Years Ago in
Massachusetts, But Never Used
Now a Ruin.

Located far up on the hills to tho
west of Lake Assawampsett, in Lake.
vile, Mass, stands a water tower. built
about 20 years ago. 1t is an imitation of
the old stone mill at Newport.
About 25 years ago, according to the
story, the national soldiers home, To-
Gated at Quincy, was to be moved to
Lakeville. A tract of about 100 acres
was secured there, occupying beautiful
position, from which every lake in the
great chain was clearly visible. Plans
were made for the erection of buildings,
The first requisite was water Accord
ingly 60-foot well was dug. A place to
store the water was next needed, and
this came in the form of the old tower.
1t was built of field stone, cemented to.
