He Had Long Been III Beyond Hope
 of Recovery.
 United States Senator William I. Sewell of New Jersey died at his home In Camden, N. J., on Friday. Senator Seweli had been for two years a suf- ferer from diabetes, complicated with stomach and heart troubles. His death had long been expected. Senator Sewell was a native of Ireland. He was born in 1885. Coming to this country in early boyhood, he was en- gagged in banking in Chicago previous to the civil war. He entered the army in the Fifth New Jersey and retired in 1866 with the rank of brevet major general. He was wounded at Chan cellorsville and Gettysburg. General Sewell was elected to the United States senate in 1881, succeeding Theodore F. Randolph. He gave way to Democrat six years later. In 1895, however, he re-entered the sen- ate, taking the place of John R. Mo Pherson. At the beginning of the pres term of six years.
 The funeral, with military honors, took place in Camden on Tuesday.
 The services were conducted by Bishop John Scarborough of the Prot estant Episcopal diocese of New ter sey, assisted by Rev. R. A. Roderick, rector of St. Paul's P. E. church of Camden. The Third regiment, N. c. s. N. J., and several companies of United States regulars acted as an escort to Harleigh cemetery. Secretary Root was among those at the funeral

KILLED BY NEPHEW>
ONE coNFeSsEs TO MURDER OF co
 LuMslk COUNTY FARMER.

Defense wiu Claim That the state
 ment Is Untrue and Was Induced
 by Fear-Northern New York Great
 ly Excited by the Crime.
 Peter A. Hallenbeck. prosperous farmer of Greenport, Columbia coun ty, N. r., was called to his door on Christmas eve and shot dead by four masked men who are said to be Willis Burton and Fred Van Wormer and Harvey Bruce, nephews of the mur, dered man.
 The Van Wormer family lived until last fall in house in Greenport, mort gagged to Hallenbeck. The boys being somewhat troublesome, the mortgage was foreclosed and the family eyicted This is said 10 be the basis of the III will held against the victim by the as sailants. The shots were heard by the neiEhbors, who saw the fleeing men and, after investigating, gave the alarm. Suspicion soon rested on the Van Wormers, and on Christmas day they were arrested, with Bruce, a twenty ty-one-year-old cousin. who was usually in their company, at Kinder. hook.
 The mother and friends of the pris. oners tried hard by testifying before the coroner to establish an alibi, de claring that the boys were home by Q o'clock Christmas eve. The officials, however, had strong evidence against them. So strong was this evidence that Harvey Bruce was induced on Satur- day to make a confession in the form of a statement to his mother and aunt The statement is witnessed by Mayor Charles s. Harvey and County Treas urer George H. Macy and tells how the murder was committed by himself and Willis Burton and Fred Van wormer, aged twenty, thenty-three and twenty, six.
 The confession shows that the mur. der was deliberately planned. The prisoners, who all lived in Kinderhook. eighteen miles from the Hallenbeck home, rode in the cool air of Christmas rye to the scene of the crime. tied their horse to the barn of their victim, walk. bright moonlight, rapped on the door and. when the old man opened it, shot him to death, firing thirteen shots, eleven penetrating the body.
 Harvey Bruce was admittedly the weakest of the lot, and the defense on the murder trial will be, 1t is said, that he is insane and that fear led him to confess to & crime with which he had DO connection
 While Bruce will be permitted to plead guilty to a minor degree of crime as a consideration for turning states evidence, it is not likely that the dis trict attorney will agree to grant any concession to any one of the others. Those who know him, however, be lieve that Fred Van wormer may vol unteer statement and then throw himself upon the clemency of the court, with a chance of escaping with his life, in consideration of the fact that he is not yet of legal age.
 The coroner's jury on Tuesday ren- dered a verdict holding the three Van Wormers and Harvey Bruce responsi ble for Hallenbeck's death. All waived examination and pleaded not guilty.

WORTH $500, 100000,

The President of a certain big oil Com pAny is said to be worth $500, ,0oo, 900. A tidy bit of money and no mistake. And yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible class he spoke of trials and troubles of the rich and the loads they have to carry. A young lady whispered 10 A friend that he might wear Bensonr Porous Plaster on his back or, better still, divide the money among the members of the class. I don't know why her idea about the plaster makes me want to laugh, but 1t does. All the same I have seen plenty of people laugh after putting Rensons PlasterS on their bAoka or chests, or on any other spot where there was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain. Ii may be the sharp stsbs of neuralgia, the aches and wrenches of rheumatism it may be colds in muscles or bones, it may be those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make you yell ss at dog bite; or it may be strain or cramp, daythias that wants quiet ing and comforting. Don't bother with salvss, liniments, lotions, eto., or with any of the stupid and useless old style plAsters. Clap on a Bsnson's, It relieves at oNns and cures quickly.

to that place, which Is associated with the story of Lady Jane Grey and Anne Boleyn and Walter Raleigh and Sir Thomas More. You will see the crowns of kings and queens, the robe worn by the Black Prince, and silver baptismal fonts from which royal infants were christened, and the block on which Lord Lovat was beheaded. But no part of London Tower will more interest you than the armory, in which is skillfully and impressively arranged a collection of all styles of armor worn between the thirteenth and eighteenth centu- ries, suggesting 500 years of conflict cuirass and neck guard and chin piece and lance rest and gauntlet and girdle and mailed apron. You see just how. from head to heel those old time war riors were defended against sharp weapons.
 O ye soldiers of Jesus Christ, when the war of life Is over and the victors rest in the soldiers home on the heav- enly heights perhaps there may be in the city of the sun a tower of spiritual armor such as incased the warriors for SnE1SI Ill edEluIg CpInDdl! SOLue Udy we may be in that armory and hear the heroes talk of how they fought the good fight of faith and see them with the scars of wounds forever healed and look at the weapons of offense and defense with which they became more than conQuerors. In that tower of heaven as the weapons of the spir- itual conflict are examined St Paul may point out to us the armor with which he advised the Ephesians to equip themselves and say: That is the shield of faith. That is the helmet of salvation. That is the girdle of truth. That is the breastplate of righteous ness Those are the mailed shoes in which they were shod with the prep aration of the gospel" There and then you may recount the contrast be tween the day when you enlisted in Christian conflict and the day when you closed it in earthly farewell and heavenly salutation, and the text which has so much meaning for us now, will have more meaning for us then-'Iet not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that put ieth it on"

His other victims were his wife, Christina, and his two daugh- age, and Carrie, twelve years old. It is thought they will not die There is evidence that it was Bitzer's purpose also to take his own life, but his prompt arrest apparently prevented him from carrying out this purpose. His motive is not clear to the authori- ties, although it is believed that his mind has been unsettled by business cares.
