Senator Rorick

A Man in Whom Adrian Has Some Interest.

Senator Rorick, of Wauseon, was in the city a short time to-day, coming fresh from his election in the Toledo district.  Mr. Rorick has many friends in Adrian who will throw aside party bias and feel delighted at his return to the Ohio Senate by a majority of nearly 6,000 in a Democratic district.  The senator has a running mate in his district, namely Senator McConica.  The first named gentleman was running against a very popular Toledo man named Brand, Senator McConica was running against McClure. Both names in each party are one ticket, but the division is virtually made as stated. The district embraces Lucas, Wood, Hancock, Fulton, Putnam and Henry counties.  Two years ago Senator Rorick was elected by 1,400 majority, and his increased vote is very flattering for the gentleman.

The senator has a daughter living here, Mrs. W.C. McConnell, and has made many acquaintances here.

Frank P. Rorick

Frank P. Rorick died on Tuesday evening of last week. His friends accuse the police of neglect in this case. They assert that Mr. Rorick, on the Saturday before, on the corner of Spring and First streets, had a hemorrhage of the lungs and fell to the ground. He was picked up and carried in the police patrol wagon to the receiving hospital, and was then taken to his room by the city physician in the wagon. The dead man’s friends also claim that he was obliged to walk up a long flight of stairs to reach his room, just after having lost a frightful amount of blood by the hemorrhage. They also say they were not notified of his condition from Saturday until Monday, and they think he could have lived much longer had he been kept in the hospital.
