W WORCESTER, Mass, August IT, WV Senator George Friaole Hoar Is Is
 dying. His physicians said this morning that the venerable senator would not live perhaps more than three days. Senator Hoar's illness began several weeks ago with lumbago and last night he suffered a relapse
 Senator Hoar was reported at 9 o'clock tonight as comfortable but not holding his own, and while no material change is ex- pected during the night no hope is held out beyond twenty-four hours
 The senator was compelled to favor himself physically even before congress adjourned and towards the last of the ses- sion appeared at the capitol only on im- portant occasions. Even these acts were contrary to the orders of his physician.
 He came back to Worcester early in the spring and all that time was confined to the house for time with lumbago.

Others and the train crew. declare that it wal not going over twenty miles an hour.
 The trolley train. which was made III ot l. otor car and two traiers, was in charge of Conductor W. II. Condon and Motorman Michael Ryan, approached the crossing at rapid rate of speed. just as the train came around a sharp curve to the est of the crossing
 Brakes Would Not Work.
 Ryan put on the brakes with all hls strength in the effort to stop his car. but the brakes refused to work, and with undlmlnished speed the motor car ran upon the tracks at the same time that the locomotive came D. The car struck the train between the engine and tender the motor car was torn to splln- ters, the car immediately behind 1t was knocked over smashed nearly to pieeeq and dragged along the track for 100 feet The third car was not dragged from the tracks.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-08-18

After a while some improvement was noted and the senator made one two speeches at informal gatherings.
 In June lumbago again seized him and the case assumed a rather grave aspect A few weeks ago the senator himself is- sued characteristic statement saying that he was the victim of lumbago and asking his friends to loan him epithets as his supply was nearly exhausted.
 The constant pain wore on the patient but hope was not abandoned until the re- lapse came last night.
 Senator Hoar will be 7S years old this month. He has been a member of the United States senate since 1877.
 Senator Hoar was resting quietly at Il 80 under the influence of opiates. He has suffered very little pain today. Dr. Warren R. Gilman left the house at 10:S0. Gen Brookwood Hoar said then there was no more reason to look for the end to- night than there was at the same time last night.
 Senator Hoars mind was perfectly clear up to the time the opiates were admins tered.

London, August 1s.-The Shanghai cor respondent of the Morning Post says that it Is reported that Japanese squadron is coming there in consequence of the fail ure as yet to comply with the Japanese demand that the Russian cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozoyoi be disarmed or quit the port

TALKS OF WESTERN TRIP

Esopus, N. r., August 17.-Nearly every delegation arriving at Rosemount from the west urges Judge Parker to go on a stumping tour during the campaign and visit all doubtful states. This was the object of the visit today rom G. V. Menzies of Mount Vernon, Ind, and John Spencer of Evansville, Ind. So much encoura cement was received that they remained over night at Judge Park CTS home to discuss the subject of a western trip Judge Parker. determined soon after his nomination by the St. Louis convention that he would conduct his personal campaign from Rosemount, but since the notification ceremonies so much pressure has been brought to bear upon him that he has promised to give the in- vitations serious consideration.
 The suggestion has been made that Judge Parker extend his trip to the St. Louis exposition to take in a number of cities in Indiana and other states that are regarded as doubtful by the demo- cratic campaign committee.
 E5dward M Shepard of New York men toned as a possible candidate for the 2, ee,rcrship of New York, took luncheon with JtCge Parker today and was anoth- ar who Il Aed the necessity of making this a speaKing campaign.

A dispatch from Elmira. N. Y, last night
says: Michael J. OHara OF this city, the
great chief of records Of the Independent
Order Of Red Men. is missing, and hiG
relatives believe that he is the victim OF
foul play. Mr.. O'Hara left Elmira at 1905

the state council, but he never arrived
there. 1t Is known that he reached Utica.
for while there he sent a wire to his wife
stating that he had forwarded her a reg
istered letter, which she received Tuesday
morning.
Wild stories gained circulation to the
effect that O'Hara was short in his ac-
counts. but an investigation proved that
they were groundless.
1t was also stated that Mrs. O'Hara
knew the whereabouts Of her husband and
the reason for his strange disappearance
This evening Mrs. OHara said that she
knew nothing regarding the cause of her
husbands disappearance, and it is believed
that she tells the truth.
Mrs OHara remained at her husbands
Office for many hours, and could scarcely
