Clinton Scurloclt , a farmer living In Lin
coln township , was brought Into the city
yesterday morning on n warrant , charging
him wltu Insanity aim ho will have on ex
amination by the commissioners today. He
seems to bo suffering from a ttrangc malady.
On every subject but ono he seems to bo as
rational as an.yor.0 and In his ordinary con
versation ho shows no signs of anj thing
wrong. But on the subject of Odd Fellow
ship ho is as mad as a hatter , as ho has con
ceived the notion that the Odd Fellows all
over the country and especially In his
neighborhood , have been plotting against ,
Ills life. For several nights lately ho has
tat up for hours with a gun In his hand ,
ready to send a load of buckshot Into the
body of some onu whom ho evidently ex
pected to make his appearance at his bed-
A note , which was found In his trunk , ad
dressed to his children , gives n clear Insight
into the nature ot the man's mental disease. '
In it ho begins by saying that ho thought it
best to leave some record in writing , in or
der that If ho should be found suddenly
missing or found dead his ohitthcn might
know that ho had been killed , and thai It
was Charley Hartley and his father , Henry i
who were responsible for thu deed. Both
the Hartleys are neighbors of Ills and the
son is a member of tlio order of which hn has
conceived such a violent distrust. He then
BU.VS tnat they liavo boon trying to get him
to join the Odd Fellows , and that when he
refused they took tils uamo before thu lodge ,
wnlch determined to follow him for ycuts
and to the ends of the world , If need Do , so
get his life.
Ho learned that ho was to bu killed Juno
2'J ' , and It was about thjs time that his iiicni-
orahlu watch , gun in hand , took place , lie
says tnat on that night some ono came toMiis
house and tried to got In , but Hinting his
door locked went away. The next night
some ono throw some subsUuico into his
room which benumbed him. Ho further
says that the Bartloys have told him that
nothing that the Odd 1-ellows may do will
ever result In their punishment , for they
have money to fight and will not hesitate to
use it in the courts.
Suspicious of llvcrj-lioilr.
Scurlock has an idea that every ono who
looks at him is a member of the order and is
secretly plotting against his life , and the re '
sult Is that ho lias made life miserable erin
the members of Ills family. His is a plain
case of insanity and on ono occasion tils des
peration grew so great that he attempted isto
take his own lifo by menus of poison. ton
other time ho took a revolver und was about
to shoot himself when ono of his relatives ! ,
who happened to bo at hand , prevented him
from carrying his design into execution. >
Four men were watching him when Sheriff
Ha/.oii arrived at the house to prevent him
from harming himself or any ono else. The
commissioners of insanity will give him an ex
amination today.

The little cottage homo of Police Ofllcor :
Easdalo , 2521 Avenue I , was totally de
stroyed by fire at 7 o'clock last evening. loA
greater part of the contents wcro also de
stroyed , and the oftlcer nnd his little 3-year-
old girl baby badly burned. The lire caught
from n gnsollno stove. The family had been
away from homo during the afternoon , and
Mr. Easdalo's brother
and another young
man who boards
there had
prepared -
pared themselves a lunch , using
the gasoline stovo. After turning it
out they left ono of the burners open , nnd
about all the fluid in the reservoir ran
through this nnd dripped into the pan behem
neatn. When Mr. Easdnle oamo In ho sat
his baby down in the kitchen and started i to
light the stovo. not noticing that anything
was wrong. The instant he lighted a-match
n sharp explosion took place , and the whole
room was nlled with flame. He was badly
singed by the ilrst Hash , but got outside becry
fore being severely burned , but ho heard his
cnild screaming insldo and instantly
plunged back into the flames to rescue
her. After groping about on the floor for
some time ho found her and carried her out.
The blazing oil by this time had communlfew
catcd the lire to all Darts of the house nnd
attracted the attention of the neighbors.
The building was located outside the tire
limits and It fifteen
was minutes before nn
alarm could Do turned In nnd nearly half an
hour before the chemical nnd a hook and
ladder team arrived. In the meantime
neighbors had carried out n part of iho
furniture nnd stood around nnd watched the
building burn to the ground.
Olllccr Kusdalo and his baby had in thor
meantime been taken to the residence of r J.
F. Hunt , the milkman , where Dr. Barstow
was called to see him. Ho was found to i be
fearfully burned about the fuco and hands ,
His hair wus burned off nearly to the scalp
and his cars burned almost to a crisp.
Uho oor little baby's
| face and hands wcro
one solid blister , not n particle of the exposed -
posed flesh escaping. Unless they have in-
haled the flumes , though dangerously
burned , their injuries probably will not
prove fatal. There is some fear that Ofllcor
Easdalo's right hand has been burned so
deeply thnt the injury may be permanent.
Both ho and the child bore their sufferings
so heroically that they challenged the iid-
mlratton of these who were trying to allevi
ate their pain.
The building was owned by Mr. Hunt nnd
the loss wus partially covered by insurance ,
but th'jro was no insurance on the furniture.

IN CAMP , GIIAND LAKE , Colo. , Aug. 11.
[ Special Correspondence. ] The present de
pression in Colorado has at least given n
great many people who have hitherto
pleaded no time to devote to roil and gun n
chnnco to avail themselves of camp lifo in
the many attractive spots In the mountains.
Camping nnd a plentiful supply of game
and angling for the wary trout in some cool
mountain retreat is not only moro pleasur
able , but decidedly cheaper than idling in
some mining camp or dusty town waiting
"mlcawberliko" for something to turn up.
In consequence thousands this year have
availed themselves of the oppoitunlty
and n perfect exoaus of nil manner
ofoutlits laden with camp equipage have
passed through Clear Creek canon enroutc
to Middle anil Egcria parks , the Mecca of
hunters nnd anglers. It is a common ex
pression , that every ono in the mining dis
tricts who has the necessary wherewith to
purchase a sack of Hour and a side of bacon
have taken themselves , "bag and baggage , "
over the range.
The rush is infectious , and provided with
a good supply of provender and a complete
camping outllt and under the leadership of
Mr. Fred Wilson of Idaho Springs , who
knows the Rockies by heart , "wo bid fare
well to civilization and the endless talk of
free coinage , " and headed for Mie continental
divide , our objective point being Grand lake ,
where the ilshin ? was said to bo particularly
good.
Let mo say right here , that the tourist
who views the rugged scenery of the Rockies
from a car window in reality sees very little
of their beauties.
A Sudden Storm.
Above Empire , some 10,000 foot above sea
level , wo came to where It may bo truthfully
said "storms are manufactured on short
notice. " A cloud came sailing around the
snowclad summit of James' peak , scarcely
larger than a man's hand seemingly , and in
on incredibly short time it had grown and
developed into a llrst-elass thunder storm.
The thunder nnd lightning was simply tcr-
rilic. A long und tortuous climb brought us
to the summit of Bcrtlioud pass.
The storm censed as quickly ns it came.
The sun came out and a scene of surpassing
grandeur disclosed Itself. The clouds far
beneath us , and the thunder grew falntor
and fainter as the storm took itself down
the canon. On every side great hanks of
snow ' wcro piled. Peak after peak towered
around in endless confusion. All seasons
seemed merged into ono. Around the banks
ol snow beds of beautiful wild flowers of every
cry hue were growing , from the delicate
snow ' Illy to the vivid and striking red of the
painted cup or Indian pink. Strawberries
und raspbci rics of the most delicate flavor
crowded the banks of a little mountain
stream whoso r.ourco is n bank of snow a
few yards away. This stream is the head
waters of the Frazer river , whoso waters
finally reach the Gulf of California , and not
twenty feet apart a smaller stream helps to
swell the waters of the Mississippi. The
high altitude ( nearly la.OOO feet ) and the
consequent lightness of the air , makes loco
motion extremely dlfllcult.
It < was with genuine regret , in spite of the
cola , that the beauties of the scene were loft
behind , nnd tlio hugo brake was put on the
wheels for the descent of the western slope.
The mountains lower down are covered
with a dense growth of magnitlcent timber ,
mostly pine nnd red sprueo. This timber
will-be a source of great wealth to some ono
when n railroad is built that will top these
gigantic forests.
An Avato Park.
.
Middle nark is not n park in the sense that
a person from the East takes It , but an im
mense stretch of country CO miles long by
near 100 miles wiue , composed of barren
buttes ( on which nro found hundreds of
beautiful agates ) nud broad , grassy meadows
through which , dividing tlio park in half ,
the Grand river nnd its tributaries flow. All
ttieso streams teem with trout , and the
whole is surrounded by lofty snow
capped ranges or mountains on which
deer , elk nnd bear are plentiful. Grand
lake , the head waters of the Grand river ,
Is the largest body of water .in Colorado ,
und is said to bo the largest body of water at
its altitude in the world , it Is n lovely
sheet of water , surrounded by rugged peaks
and has an unknown depth. A linn TOO fcot
long failed to find bottom. Its waters nro
clear ns crystal and cold ns ice. The town
of Grand Lake is situated on Its northern
side and formerly was the county scat. A
successful effort on the part of the enter
prising residents of Hot Sulphur Springs on
thu other side of the county to change the
county scat location some tlino ago was not
accomplished before some four or live rcs >
idcnts nnd taxpayers of thu community had
died with their boots on.
\Vo pitched our tent in n lonely grove near
the Worth inlet of the lake nnd forty
"speckled beauties" was the result of the
first day's sport , nnd the succeeding days
\\i-ro hut a repetition of the ilrst , lirlght
sunshiny days nnd frosty nights made us
think of perspiring humanity in Omaha ,
Seated around a roasting cnmptlro ( Ausust
10) ) , wo wondered why no ninny pcopiu during
the hot weather flocked to crowded resorts
when a trip throuch the Hookies , which can
bo easily nnd so comfortably bo made , will
not only afford diversion and amusement ,
but a decided gum in health and appetite.

Jeot , the eminent divine coneluded his excel
lent sermon with a practical illustration of
the habit of some business men to place god
liness secondary to wealth getting , lie said ,
in part :
"Our (
successful business
men are not , as
a rule , men whom wo regard ns examples of
godliness. The great capitalists of the
world nro not men noted for their love of
God ' , and yet the world must have improved
since the ' - ' ' - - -
psalmist's
day for these men are
not wicked men. They are simply godless
met men whom business and speculation
have hardened until their hearts have be
come frozen toitho noblest inllucnccs of all
tt-U' ' ) life. As their possessions increase their
hearts grow smaller. , and the saying of .lesus
is fully exemplified today In the life of
the rich. How hardly shall they that have
riches enter into the kingdom of heaven ? '
Am had the Psalmist continued In the same
frame of mind , ho would have yielded to the
voice of the tempter , and cast In his lot with
these whom ho saw living in sueh prosper
ity As long as ho thought upon It , it was a
burden to him. It w.is a great trouble or
weariness ; laid upo'n him , until he went into
the sanctuary ol God until he considered
tholr latter end. Ho does not follow them
lilt the next world , ho does not try to see
beyond the grave , but they die that is
enough they die , What if they do live
towo a good old ago , and die immensely
wealthy they die for all that ,
"God is the hopo'and portion of the right
eous now. God is their lifo , nnd those ihut
hnvo not that hone , that deliberately put
the life of God away from them must per
ish. Not because Urn ) Wants them to per-
Ish. Oh I no. It is Jtholr own net. They
huvo no one to blumo put themselves. They
nro like men who. able to bask In the sun's
life-giving rays , shutoUtiU light by living
in a darkcucu room.When will our worldly
men realize this ! T4iut eternal life is u
present lifo in the srnili and that eternal
life is synonymous with goodness , purity ,
truth and a lifts of iietivo usefulness in this
present Hooting world. . - . iso
"When will our business men realize there
is something else tliau'inonoy making in is
world ? When sueh men ask , 'Of what use is
church going ! ' lot usreply : 'No use ut nil if
you muku no use of It.w > If it docs not CO
you think of thu vanity of the life you re
now leading ; if it aocjf not cause you tore-
ullze that you ure iriorfa than a noble ani
mal ; if it does not lead you to feel thnt you
are have an immortal soul , church going is
of little , if any , uso. .1

CHICAGO , Aug. 20. The grnntlmr of cheap
rates for Missouri day has gone a long way
toward making u low rate for the general
business of the World's fair a possibility. iulU
means that nit other states will bo entitled
the sumo rates und practically assures
low rates on all special occasions , and from
constant recurrence nf low rates to a per-
manonoy of low rates is but a small step In
times like thcso , when earnings are steadily
dropping oft nnd all business beyond purely
local truftio must bo hustled for and secured
in the face of keen competition.
The question of Grand Army rates Is again
creating discord among the lines of the
Western Passenger association. The Fre
mont , Elkhorn& Missouri Valley has sntcrcd
a strong protest against sending its Ne
braska business via St. Louis. It desires to
send its passengers via Chicago , but declares
the cheap rates by way of St. Louis will inJure -
Juro its business. Chairman Caldwcll has
decided that the road is entitled to no relief
nt this time und it must make the best ar
rangement possible under the existing condi
tions.

ROME , N. Y. , Aug. 27. Shortly after 8
o'clock this city felt n violent electric storm.
Two black clouds hanging low and moving
east and west met hero. Ruin fell in tor
rents , accompanied by hailstones of enor
mous size. The most of them were tomato
shaped nnd many of them were n quarter of
a pound In weight. In striking the ( lagging
th cy popped like pistols. Every skylight in
the city wus broken. The stores were
flooded and goods damaged. Plato gla ss
was broken , tin roofs wcro pierced and sot
leaking , nil the green houses were destroyed
nnd the plants und ( lowers badly damaged.
A farm house on the outskirts of the city
was strucic by lightning nnd burned. A
canal driver in the employ of James Nnlloy
of Oswego was struck on the head with a
hailstone , which cut through the woolen hat
ho wore and made a bad wound. Crops in
the great hop growing region were much in
jured. The storm was the worst over seen
in this locality.
