.According to the story told this morning by the much excited oAvner of the store he had retired after the unual Saturday night business. Just before going to his dwelling above he switched on the burglar alarm he had rec3ntly installed. He had hardly got- I ten to sleep before the sounding of the alarm brought him oiit of beti .
Arming himself he went to the store below. The boys had forced an entrance by the front way and had gone directly to the rear where the stock room was located. It was a trap for them as the owner cut off their retreat by the open door w^y. He readi¬ ed the door of the room where ihey were just preparing to ransack for their loot.
Showing fight they drew the fire of the store keeper and whcHTChoworitz fell wounded tiie battle waH at an end as both sub¬ mitted to arrest and soon State troopers hastily summouuded were at hand. The one boy was given over to tho law and tlft other rushed to the Pitjtston hospital The two wounds in the back have penetrated to vital regions and at au early hour this morning re¬ ports from the hospital were £b the effect that he was having a hard battle for life.
The boys concerned in the robhery confessed to the State Pofice at :? o'clock this morning to se.veral other robberies, among them the store of Max Rosen, of Dupont, a few weeks ago, where they gained an entrance through a bacicwindow.

Washington, Jan. 31.—Senator I,«,ne, of Oregon, in debate on the floor o* the Senate today made the follow¬ ing arraignment of the late .T. Pler- pont Morgan: ".\ short time ago one of the greatest financiers of the coun¬ try who had robbed the. Xew Haven railway system, died. Talk about 'wolfing' Wall street and the process of 'wolfing' that has been carried on! Think of the people of Xew England, widows, orphans and trust funds rob- j bed to the tune of millions upon mil¬ lions.
"The ^ Isle lamented .1. Pierpont Morgan manipulated that affair. Tf the truth Is told, those affairs were j as absolutely criminal a species of theft as was ever practiced in this country.
"Ve< he said that the object of his life was to teach his son to preach the doctrine of saK-ution and ihe washing awa\. of sins through the blood of the Redeemer; and then he reached into hia^ip pocket, pulled out a harp and lit awii>- for the gates of glory, where 1 think St, Petei- met him fith a base ball bnt, 1 don't know but he ought to."'
