THE dry goods firm OF Hood,
Toulkrod & Co., Of Philadelphia,
may 60 out OF business. The firm
is located at Eleventh and Market
streets, and John Wanamaker was
silent partner, but the business
has not been paying tor some time.
Two we'll known gentlemen in this
city have been engaged with the
firm for several years. What leads
to the above speculation on the Ii.
quldation of the firm is that their
lease expired yesterday and the
firm did not renew it. The princi.
pie obstacle to a renewal OF the
lease Y as an increase OF $50, 900 a

BRANDYWINE
WAS SHUT OUT.

Brownson shut out the strong Brandy.
wine team from West Chester yesterday
afternoon on the local grounds in one Of
the most interesting and best played
games Of the season. The score was 2
| to 0 in favor Of Brownson. The game
was marked by sensational fielding on
both teams. In but two innings did the
visitors have a chance to score. In those
innings the Brandywne side of the score
was kept blank by Days great pitching
ledgwell, who started in to umpire
the game, did so badly that it was neces-
sary to take him out of the game in the
fourth inning. In that inning Ridgwell
made two rank decisions in favor of the
home team which were without doubt
the worst seen Oh the grounds this sea-
son. Barker, the first man up inr>the
fourth hit hard liner TO centre field.
Gawthrop, after hard run. caught the
ball about foot off the ground. Ridg-
well claimed that the fielder scooped the
ball and called the runner safe. The
visitors put up a big kick but the umpire
refused to change his decision. Mahar
and King both hit safe, filling the bases.
]. Connors hit a shot grounder to Sharp
at first base. Sharp touched first and
threw to the plate to catch Barker who
was trying to score from third on the
out. Barton apparently had the runner
out but Ridgwell called him safe. At
this stage of the game the manager of
the visitors called his team in and re-
fused to play unless the man at the plate
was called out and new umpire put in.
The attendance hooted Ridgwell for the
two rank decisions and Manager Nc
Swiney decided to let the runner he
called out and to change umpres. This
was satisfactory to everyone anl Mana
ger McSwincy was complimrnted for per-
mitting the change.
of West Chester umpired the remainder
OF the game and gave satisfaction to both
teams.
1t was pitchers battle between
BILLY Day and "Skittex" Dent with
honors about even. Not for many day
has there been seen such fine cxhibi-
ti"n Of pitching as was done by both
twircrs yesterday. Day won mis- game
because he was given better support than
Dent. Both of Brownson's runs were
scored on errors. There was not base
on balls by either pitcher. both being
steady as n clock. Dent had seven strike
outs TO his credit and Day four.
Schultz and Mahar robbed the visitors
of hits by circus stops of hot groundrrs
which looked safe. J. Connors got one
up against the fence after hard run.
and Tierney made two pretty catches in
centre. Barton, for the visitors, caught |
his usual good game hut made wild |
throw In the seventh inning which scored |
a run. Gawthrop played an exception

PYTHIANS TO
PROSECUTE.

tion instructing the Supreme Chan
cellor and Board of Control to pros.
ecute civilly and criminally all per-
sons liable for offeuses committed
against the endowment rank has
been adopted by the Supreme Lodge
OF the Knights OF Pythias, which is
in session here, Investigating the
affairs of the endowment rank of
the order.
Immediately before this resolution
was adopted the Supreme Lodge
accepted the resignation of John A.
Hinsey, former president OF the en-.
dowment rank, as member Of the
Board OF Control.
Another resolution u. adopted unan-
lmously, instructed the chancellor
commander and Board of Control to
proceed with view toward expul-
sion, against members Of the order
in their respective lodges who might
be found guilty Of violating their
obllgatlonsiu in the handling OF funds.
After ad journment of last night q
session it was said if criminal pros.
ecutlons are instituted, which now
seems TO be almost certain, num-
ber Of men who were formerly con.
nected with the endowment rank,
and whom the Supreme Lodge men,
bers consider responsible for the
present financial condition., will
be involved.
The action Of the Supreme Lodge
in accepting the resignation OF Hin.
sey was taken after two days ses.
sion, at which the report of the
Board of Control Of the endowment
rank and those of the Insurance
mmissioners OF Illinois. Connec-
ticut and Kansas had been gone
over and tully discussed,
Ilinsey made good his promise to
appear before the Supreme Council
in his own defense. 1t was SAID
that his explanation regarding the
Investments Of funds made while he
was at the head Of the rank were
larfrom tlstactory to the Supreme
Lodge Representatives. A motion
to adopt the report OF the Board Of
Control, which by inference, at least
contained some serious charges
against Hinsey was carried by
vote of l50 tie |, the one being John
Burma, OF Ohio, who is said to be
the legal represer tative OF Mr.. Hin
sey.
Immediately following this vote
resolution was introduced to eXpel
llnsey iron the Supreme Lodge.
Then it was found that there were
many members who believed that
the laws Of the Supreme Lodge.
did not give authority to expel a
member without trial,
While this discussion was
gong on uinsey rendered his resls-
nation, and the Supreme Lodge,
seeing All easy way out Of its dl-
lemma, accepted the resignation.
llinsey is a member Of the Inter-
Domain Lodge, OF this city, ami it
isprobablc that the Supreme officers
will prefer thcir charges against
him in that lodge.
AS how TO rcPlensh the funds the
Supreme Lodge has not yet decided.
There is proposition before it ma
terlaIly to increase the monthly
payments on insurance policies. It
seemed TO be the opinion o, the rep
resentatives that this would be
adopted. The proposition is Ger
tam, however, to meet with much
opposition, for the reason that under
the proposed rating the monthly
dues OF the older members of the
rank would be increased to such an
extent that it is feared that manv
oI them would drop out.
