Dr. Edward Everett Hale, | chaplain of the United States Senate | and lifelong friend of Senator Hoar, | conducted brayers at the home just before 2 o'clock. Only members o(‘ the immediate household and a few | neighbors attended this serwce. The body was then placed in the hearse by the active pallbearers, all the pres- ent or past secretaries of the Senator, | and the honorary pallbearers, Senator | Henry Cabot Lodge, T. Jefferson Ccolidge, Charles Francis Adams, At- tcrney General William H. Moody, for- mer Governor Murray Crane, General Willilam F. Draper, Judge Francis C. Lowell of Boston, Colonel George H. Lyman of Boston, Stephen Salisbury, Henry A. Marsh, Dr. G. Stanley Hall and Willam BE. Rice of Worcester.

Four Nominations ~ for Superior Judges. Smashes in the face and kicks in the abdomen enlivened the finish of the Democratic municipal convention at Pioneer Hall last night. Big Jim ‘Welch, who holds & job on the fire tug of the Hdrbor Commission, spoke to Supervisor Sam Braunhart, who was standing on the floor of the convention near the platform. The latter did not reply, whereupon Welch smashed the Supervisor on the jaw, the most in- vulnerable section of his anatomy. The blow staggered Braunhart and enraged State Senator Joseph M. Plunkett. A speedy mixup resulted. The Senator landed quickly on Welch’s face, and the latter went to the fioor, where he received considerable pun- ishment about his head and ribs before the police could intervene, | In contrast with this engagement, other proceedings of thé convention were quite monotonous. The delegates heartily indorsed Judge Dooling, the Democratic nominee for the Supreme Court, but no cheers or words of com- mendation were given for the Demo- cratic nominees for Congress, W. J. ‘Wynn and E. J. Livernash. - As predicted in The Call yesterday morning, Murasky, Seawell, White and perior bench. Gavin McNab attended the convention. CONVENTION AT WORK.
