Sept 30. Early yesterday morning two or three men went to the home of Frank Bertran, aged, rich, a recluse, and believed to keep a large sum of money. His house Is five miles from the city. Hammering down the door, the men broke In and tried to shoot Bertran. Instead, he succeeded with a shotgun in filling one of them, Ed Williams, with buckshot. The others carried Williams away and placed him in a hospital in the city. Circumstances connected him with the were crime, but his unknown. Today Morris Levich, a retail business man, and Frank Ammerman, his clerk, were arrested. They were proved to have bought a revolver exactly like one the robbers left at Bertran's door. In it were center-sh- ot cartridges which had been snapped, but had not exploded because It was a rlm-flweapon. The purchase of the cartridges was traced to Levich and Ammerman. Finally Levich and Ammerman were found to have hired a rig at a stable, to have been gone most of Saturday night and in the early morning to have brought an injured man for a time to Levlch's store, whence Williams was sent to the hospital In charge of persons who cannot now be located. Williams will die. He is unknown here, but claims his home ie In St. Louis. The arrests today were a surprise. Nourishment. D. WASHINGTON, C., Sept. 30.

George Friable Hour, senior United States senator from Massachusetts, died Ht hia home in thla city at 1:35 o'clock this morning. The end followed a period of unconsciousness that had lasted since early Tuesday and came so gently that only the attending physicians were aware of the exact moment of his ending. The attending physicians desjinlred of the senator's life six weeks ago, but such whs the vitality exhibited by their distinguished patient that even they were surprised and the public was at times led to cherish fsltli in an ultimate recovery. On Sunday last, however, all hope was abandoned after a last unsuccess-fHtteinpt to admiiflster medicine und nourishment. Brief lucid Intervals were followed by longer durations of unconsciousness until Tuesday morning. when the Venerable statesman sank into a slate of coma from which nil efforts to rouse him proved futile. During the lust hours there was not a movement of the body, and only a scarcely perceptible pulse evidenced the final struggle. There were present at the bedside when death came, the Senator's son. Rock wood Hoar; his daughter. Mary Hoar, and Dr. Warren R. Oilman, who for weeks hue been In almost constant attendance upon the seuutnr. Keimtor Hoar had been in ill health rim-last winter, and even when attending the sessions of the senate he was obliged to exercise extreme care lest his exertions should overcome hltn. At that time he was troubled with lumbago, and the death of hia wife proved such a blow to him that he never recovered entirely from its qi effect.
