CHICAGO, May 1-Senator Francis B.
Stockbridge, of Michigan, died sudden.
ly at the residence of his nephew, ].
L. Houghteling, yesterday evening.
The senator expired while seated in q
chair in his sleeping room
| Three weeks ago Senator and Mrs.
Stockbridge came to Chicago from
| their home in Kalamazoo, Mich, in
tending to 60 to the Pacific coast to
| visit the California fair. It was their
intention to spend day or two at the
home of their nephew and then start
for the west The senator, however,
on the day he and Mrs Stock bridge
were preparing to leave for California,
was suddenly attacked with stomach
trouble and later suffered with cutting
pains near the heart. His condition at
no time was considered serious, but he
was confined to his bed for day or
two, and he lost so much strength be-
cause of ina ability to retain much food
that he decided to abandon the trip to
the California fair and return to his
Michigan home as soon as his condition
would permit him to travel
One week ago there was a change for
the better, and the senator and his
wife began to talk about returning to
Michigan, and day was set for the
return 1t was. however, postponed,
as the senator improved SO slowly.
Last evening at o'clock the senator
was left alone in his room with a nurse,
the other members of the household
being at dinner.
A. v.on
his chair to walk across the room, when
he was suddenly attacked with pains
in his left side. He made no outcry,
but with his hands clasped over his
heart and his face showing that he was
suffering intense pain. he hastily re-
turned to his chair. The nurse at once
called the family from the dining room
and Mrs. Stock bridge, Mr.. and Mrs
Houghteling were quickly at his side.
Within few seconds after they
reached him the senator became un-
conscious and sank rapidly. Physicians
were hastily summoned and restora-
tlves were applied, but it was of no
avail. The senator sank rapidly and
in very short time breathed his last.
While he has been very ill it was at no
time thought that his condition was
dangerous. A combination of heart
and stomach troubles was announced
as the cause of death.
FRANK HATToN DEAD.
WASHINGTON, May I.-Mr. Frank
Hatton, late editor of the Washington
Post. is dead. Death occurred at 4:30
p. m. yesterday. Less than a week
ago, last Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. Hat.
ton, who apparently had been in good
health, was suddenly stricken with
paralysis while working alone at his
desk. With great difficulty, for his
speech was impaired by the attack, he
succeeded in sumnoning assistance and
was at once removed to his home. The
gravity of the case was fully realized
by his friends, but some intervals OF
consciousness and signs of rallying,
even as late as yesterday, gave hope
that he might recover But his physi-
clans held out little encouragement
and looked for the worst
The last fatal change was manifest
yesterday morning when the dread
symptoms of Bright's disease appeared.
The virus spread rapidly and soon
reached the heart. There was no pain
because the faculties were deadened
by the destroying agent. and at 4.3O
o'clock, unconscious of the presence of
his wife and son, and in spite of all
that medical aid could accomplish, Mr..
HattOn exnired
