William R. Wallace. of Palmyra, COM
mitted suicide by shooting on Friday
Death was not instantaneous, and the man
was put in an automobile which was
rushed to Philadelphia hospital, where
physicians labored all night In a vain en-
deavor to save the mans life. He died on
Saturday morning. Wallace was 80 years
of age, unmarried, and a carpenter by
trade. He had been drinking heavily for
some time, and this was probably the
cause for the rash act.
Strong objection having been made to
the practice of secret societies holding
sessions for amusement with cards,
dominos and quoits at the close of meet
ings, may lead to the Knights of Pythias
and the Junior Mechanics vacating
their present quarters in the Mirror build
ing and locating elsewhere. Protest to
this form of innocent amusement, which
prevails in all lodge rooms In town, comes
from the Odd Fellows, who sublet the
room to other societies. A transfer to
other quarters by the lodges named lie In
the hands of committees appointed to
consider that matter, and reports as to
action that will be recommended will be
made this week.
