DAHME'S BROTHER BELIEVED
 DEAD IN WAR
Dispatch Received Here. Yet Hoped to Be Mis-
 take


 Less than a month ago Rev Hubert Dahme, pastor of St. Josephss Catholic church, received a letter from his younger brother, Hans, government architect at Cologne, telling that he had been called into the army. expect ed to leave the next day and was ready to go. A brief press despatch from Germany, appearing yesterday, included the name of Hans tDahmen of Cologne as one of the prominent victims of the war. Father Dal11ne feels convinced that it is his brother but is hoping against hope that the letter 'sn'' is not a mistake. How ever, he feels little hope as he says the name has frequently been mis-. spelled Dahmen- He has already started search to establish the iden- tity of the victim.
 Hans Dahme was one of the noted architects in Germany, having been employed by the government in de- signing some of the leading schools and other government buildings throughout the empire. He has never visited America, although known to many German either be- fore they came to America or on 5vis- it's to the FsatE>erland. He was sew en years younger than Father Dahme. The brothers last met about a year ago when the Bridgeport clergyman took trip to Germany for his health.

FORMER SENATOR
 WRICHT'S HOME TARGET OF BOMB
Attempt Made on Life of Con- necticut Manufacturer This
 Morning. ASSA SSIN ESCAPES
 UNDER COVER OF TOY Front of Handsome Home At Centerbrook is Badly
 Wrecked.

Centerbrook. Conn, Oct. 17-What was believed to be an attempt to kill Waiter 1T. Wright, former Republican state senator from the 34th district and president of, the Connecticut Val ley Manufacturing Go, was made this morning about 2 o'clock when a bomb was hurled at his residence in the main street of this village.
 Ne1ghbors heard the sound of an explosion but on looking out in the misty darkn ess could see no signs of trouble and not until daylight came was the damage by the explosion seen. Then it was found that the front of the Wright residence was shattered and much damage done to the interior.
 That MT. Wright and his wife. who sleep in room over the front haI1. were not killed was due probably to the fact that the aim Of the assailant being poor the bomb fell beside the front door Instead of going through the plate glass of the door as was eN identity intended.
 The motive for the attack is a nys- tery as MT Wright, as far as he knows, has no political or business en- e7nies. He has about 50 men employ ed in his concern here but there has been no trouble with them and he has had no bIackhand demands for money.
 The matter has been placed in the hands of Sheriff Thompson, who IS working on the slender clues afford ed. As no fragments of the bomb of recognizable size could be found it was first thought there might have been an explosion of gas, but no gas pipes run anywhere near the p1ace pf the explosion.
 Most of the furniture on the veran- da was smashed and several strips torn out of the veranda ceiling. Much Of the plaster within the front rooms of the house was jarred down and many. panes of glass in the windows of the house broken.
 The house stands about 30 feet back from the street and on q night like last night the tf1rS<3er of the bomb could easily approach without notice and escape unseen after the explosion.

Bellingham was cleaning windows when he lost his balance and toppled the courtyard.
 No one saw the unfortunate man dows early today and had nearly com pIeted his task in that part of the building. He had seated himself on the window sill with his back toward the chasm below. Evidently he lost his balance and fell backwards 40 feet to the Belgian block pavement below. Enp1oyes in the portion of the factory where Bel1ingham was working and on the floors below heard a shriek Of anguish as his body hurled through the air to the hard pavement below.
 He struck on his head and a broken saucer fracture Of the skull brought death about ten minutes afterward He was still breathing when otll CT employees at the factory reached him. They left him lying where he was and rushed to telephone for the am bulance. When Day Surgeon F4nne- gan reached the side of the unfortu- nate man, BeEingham was breathing slais last. The dead man was about 20 ,years old and married. His body was taken to the morglle.

 Official intelligence is mark edly meagre today as is invaria- bly, the case when the belliger- ents are particularly active.

 Berlin announces that a gi- gantie battle is preparing.in the eastern theatre where the Aus tro-German forces have taken positions along the Yistula and San rivers.
 Vienna states officially that fighting continues Thursday along the entire battle front from Stry and Sambor, both to the southeast of Przemysl to the mouth of the San.
 The most recent advices from Petrograd claimed Russian sue cesses in Russian Poland. All sources agree that there is a lull in the struggle on the east Prussian frontier following bat ties in which neither army won a decided advantage.
