lily. and Himself, While Evil
IDENTIFY Insane.

NORTH BRooKFIELD, Mass, Jan. 90
Martin Bergen, the catcher of the Bos-
ton base ball team, of the National
League, killed his wife and two children
and committed suicide at his home
here. An axe was the implement used
in taking the life of Mrs Bergen and
one of the children, while razor was
employed to cut the throat of the other
child, a little girl, and of the man him
self.
1t is thought the action was due to
insanity. 1t has been suspected for
some time that Bergen was victim of
mental arrangement In fact, some of
his actions in connection with his base
ball managers last season led to the sup
position at that time.
The affair was discovered by the
neighbors, who found the body of Ber-
gen and the girl lying on the kitchen
floor. Further Investigation showed
that Mrs. Bergen and the little boy also
had been killed. Their bodies lay upon
a bed in the chamber. Bergen was 80
years of age. His wife was of about the
same age. the little girl was or years
old and the boy little younger.

TIED UP PENSION SHARKS.
Attack on Evans Finally Resulted In
House Giving Him More
Power.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The pension
appropriation bill, carrying $145, 245, $50,
was passed by the house. 1t was made
the vehicle of an attack upon the com.
missioner of pensions by Mr.. Curtis
(Rep., Kan.), who was seconded by Mr..
Lentz and Mr.. Norton CO., and Mr..
Robinson Qnd.), and other northern
Democrats. All inveighed against the
lack of hberality in the administration
of the pension laws. The commissioner
was ably defended by score of mem
bers from both sides of the house.
Mr.. Mahon (Rep., Pa.) charged that
the assault upon him had been insti-
gated by the pension sharks" of this
city, who were robbing the old soldiers.
AS result of the latter's disclosures a
rider was put on the bill by unanimous
consent, empowering the commissioner
in his discretion to withhold the fees OF
attorneys OF record i'll pension cases
where he was satisfied that the attor.
neys had not prepared the cases under
their personal supervision.
