IN THE RACE FOR SENATOR.
He Expects to Succeed Himself in the Upper House of Congress—Explosion of Natural Gas—Train Bombarded—Distillery Struck by Lightning—Drouth
Broken—Other Indiana State News. WASHINGTON, May 20.—There was
much talk here yesterday about the following dispatch printed in afternoon papers from Laporfce, Ind.: "A private letter received here from Washington conveys the information that Senator Voorhees will retire from public life at the end of his present term. His failing health has given his friends concern for more than a ysar past. It is believed that if his health will permit he will seek to recover it by a trip to Europe."
Last night a member of Senator Voorhees' family made the following statement: "Senator Voorhees has not written to any person in Laporte. He does not intend to retire from politics. On the contrary, he is a candidate to succeed himself. He will work to that end, and he feels confident of success. He has no intention of going to Europe. He would not go if he could, and he could not if he would. There is no truth in any assertion made in the statement from Laporte."
