Committed Suicide.

Mrs Minnie B. Wolf. wife of Mr..
Albert Wolf. committed suicide by firing
"a 32-calibre revolver bullet into her head.
It is believed that the act which ended the
young woman's life was committed some
time Friday night, but the shot did not
awaken the household, and the tragedy
was not discovered until Saturday morn
ing.
She was "a years old and lived with
her husband and her three small daugh-
ters on the Wolf farm. adjoining the
Havre de Grace race,rack. The physi-
clan summoned credited the act to des-
pondency. following a nervous break
down that Mrs. Wolf recently suffered.
During the recent race meet Mrs. Wolf
served meals to over 90 men. and it is
supposed this extra work. combined with
her duties as farmers wife. proved too
great a tax on her strength. She suffer-
ed a serious breakdown, but was believed
to be improving.

Exploding Lamp Endanoers Home


A destructive fire in the home Of VIM.
F. Gillespie and family was narrowly
averted on Thursday night OF last week.
A lighted lamp left on the dining room
table for members of the family who were
spending the evening out, exploded and
set fire to the furnishings of the room.
Luckily Miss Lucy Gillespie returned to
ber home. in company with some friends.
about 1890 o'clock. and discovered 1.-The
blaze just as it was assuming serious pro-
portions. The home was provided with
a chemical fire extinguisher that was in
the room. and with this the flames were
extinguished before the sleeping members
of the family in the rooms above were
aware of the FIRE, despite the fact that the
house was filed with sitting smoke. The
fire had burned the table cover. some
books and papers. charred the top of the
table and backs of three chairs. as well as
burned hole in the carpet. and its early
discovery was indeed fortunate. as given
few minutes longer it undoubtedly
would have meant the destruction OF the
home, and probable loss of life to some OF
the sleepers.
