B. of r. T.

Moses Taylor lodge, No. 121, Ladies'
Auxiliary of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, met last night in
Campbell hall. on Lackawanna avenue,
and held a special session, the chief
purpose of which was to take action
concerning an article which appeared
in last Sundays Free Press. The mem
bers declare that there was no truth
in it.
The article was to the effect that
there has been a break among the
members. and that the lodge is divided
against itself. 1t also mentioned that
the last meeting held, on Thursday
evening, broke up in heated discus
sion and that on Friday the charter
was taken in charge by Mrs. Lasher, a
member, residing on Ninth street, who
refused to surrender it, and that the
other members were contemplating her
arrest. 1t concluded by mentioning
that one of the grand officers is now in
the city to take charge of the matter.
Last nights meeting was a well-at
tended and very lively one, not being
over until 11.45 o'clock The statement
was then given out that the story was
false. Two members of the Grand
lodge are now in the city, but they are
here merely on visit of instruction
and general inspection. They are Mrs.

HE BLEW THE TOP
OF HIS HEAD OFF
Suicide of David Ginnell, of South
Everett Avenue, at 1o:45 Last
Night at His Home

One OF the most deliberately planned
and horrible suicides ever noted in this
city occurred about 1915 o'clock last
night, when David Ginnell, an aged
man, living at 123 South Everett ave-
nue., shot himself with a shotgun, blow
ing the whole top of his head off.
The man had recently been sick and
had within the past few days become
very despondent. The family had all
retired last night, when they were
startled by the loud report of a gun,
seeming to come from the dining room
of the house. On rushing downstairs
they were Mortified to find Mr.. Ginnell
lying on the floor, quite dead, with the
entire top of his head blown off.
Lying on the floor and extending
from his feet, lay a double-barrelled
shotgun. To the trigger of this was
attached long piece of suspender, at
the end of which was fastened a piece
| of wood. After arranging the gun in

INSURANCE BILLS HELD UP.
Auditing Committee Thinks Reap
pointment Not Right.

At the meeting of the joint auditing
committee of councils held on Monday
evening, all Of the insurance bills for
the present year were referred. after
much discussion, to a special commit
tee for consideration. This commit
tee consists of Messrs. Finn, Oliver
and Phillips.
The insurance committee, which con-
sists of the chairmen of both branches
of council and the mayor, have recent
ly gone over the insurance for
the purI ose of reapportioning it.
Some of the members of the
auditing committee thought that
this reapportionment was not exactly
right. They thought that insurance
on the hose wagons in the various
hose houses was entirely unnecessary
and that, among other things, the
street cleaning apparatus should not
be insured.
Objection was also raised to placing
100000 worth Of insurance on the mu-
nicipal building, which is considered
practically fire-proof. The committee
will report week from Monday night.

Four Persons and Wagon Load of
Glass simultaneously UPSET.

Eight barrels and three boxes loaded
with glass bottles, which Moses Epp-

had just loaded into his wagon, were
overturned on the pavement in front
of the board of trade building yester-
day afternoon, together with Eppstein
and three of his children, two of them
mere babes, who were brought along
to enjoy a ride.
One of the little ones sustained a
slight bruise on the leg, but otherwise
the damage was confined to the glass
ware. About half Of it was left on the
street in fragments. A too short turn
of the wagon caused the upset.

THE STIRK FAMILY.
Proud Aristocrats in the Realm O
the Arena.

The famous Stirk family, one of the
great features of the Wallace show,
does work that borders on the mar
velous In truth, some of their attain
ments are of such complex difficulties
that it frequently passes with but lit
tie more notice from the public than
their simpler display solely because
the audience cannot follow it's intri-
cate and perplexing paradox.
IT not infrequep ly happens that
when a particularly hazardous feat is
accomplished the strongest and most
pronounced applause will come from
the entry wherein the other actors of
the show may be found ranged as
spectators when "the Stirks are on"
This tribute to their genius from
their fellow performers is as unusual
as II is spontaneous, and testifies to
their superiority more eloquently than
any eulOgy possibly could.
When an act can hold the attention
OF the actors as that of the Stirks
does. II may indeed be said to be truly
great. At Scranton on Friday. May
