His Death Resulting In A
Very Few Minutes
The Deceased Was Eighty.
Two Years Of Age

Worry over a possible ioss 81 his
position with the street cleaning de-
partment, Amos MosshoIder, for over
fifty years resident Of Mt. Vernon,
swallowed the contents Of ono
ounce vial Of earboIic acid at his
homo on East Front street at about 4
o'clock Monday morning and, despite
valiant medical efforts, failed to rally
from the effects Of the poison, death
coming shortly before S o'clock.
On several previous occasions, Mr..
Mossholder had threatened suicide to
various members of his family, COM
planning of the fact that he was not
needed in this world" and bewaiIing
his hard existence. However, this is
the first time he has ever attempted
to carry out his threats.
AS Is his usual custom, Mr.. Moss
holder attended Bible class Sunday
morning. On returning to his home
for the MONDAY meal, he remarked to
his wife, that's the last time | ever
attend Bible class" This worried her
considerably, but, as he had spoken
in the same tenor before, she did not
become undu!y alarmed. All during
the afternoon and evening he seemed
depressed and spoke of the fact that
he had been told that old men would
not be employed on the street clean
Ing department much longer. This
annoyed him considerably, as he was
entirely reliant on this position for
his support. 1t is thought that the
worry thus occasioned deranged his
mind temporarily and caused him to
take the long-threatened step.
1t was about 4 o'clock Monday
morning that Mrs. Mossholder heard
sounds from her husbands room. She
arose, entered and discovered him
| lying on the bed in great agony. In
stantly suspectlng the cause of his
pain. she summoned a physician and
then called to her neighbors, Mr. and
Mrs. John Baltzell, who willingly re
sponded. All means of stopping the
swift advance of death were resortet
to, but every effort proved unavailinf
and the grim reaper eXacted his tol
shortly before o'clock
particularly sad feature abou
the suicide is the fact that Monda,
marked the Slst birthday anniversar!
of Mrs. Mossholdcr and arrangement
had been made for large family re
union, the children living out of tn,
city coming here for the event.

Bermuda, w. l., April 2.-"Run-
away June" has run away home and
all the young subalterns of the Brit
ish garrison here as well as the "win-
ter boys" at the hotels are in mourn
ing. During the five weeks of their
stay on these beautiful islands they
were the life of the place. They or
ganized all sorts of athletic contests
and unique entertainments and not
the least interesting things they did
were contained in the five episodes of
the big George Randolph Chester
photoplay serial which were produced
here. These included all sorts of
thrilling incidents.
When the steamer Bermudian pull
ed out of her pier it was aglow with
the red dress coats of the officers and
as the merry Juners waved their
farewells a great cheer went up from
the military men and the guests of
the hotels. The. actors are thoroughly
tanned from their constant exposure
to our tropical sun. The last notable
social event was the entertainment OF
the Runaway Juners" by Capt
Grant Suite of "The Queens Own

brilliant AFFAIR." dinner of forty
seven covers, supplemented by q
dance.
The final or fifteenth episode in two
reels will be produced Immediately
upon their arrival in New York or
Monday. 1t will contain the solution
of the many battling mysteries in this
interesting comedy-drama of the
screen. There you will learn why
June, the runaway bride was so re.
lentlessly pursued by Gilbert Blye
'the man with the black Van Dyke,
why she and the other members OF
Blye's party did so many amazing
things and why poor Ned Warner, the
deserted husband was kept in the darl
as to the motives of all concerned. i
will be surprise indeed.

SAYS REPORT

GERMANY DENIES THAT HER
SAILORS JEERED AT DROWN
ING People

London, April "A Berlin wireless
dispatch describes as ISLANDERS" Eng
lish reports that the German subma-
rines gave the steamer Falaba's pass
engers no time to save themselves, and
that the German crew laughed at the
struggles of the drowning people.
The dispatch says:
German sailors always have shown
humanity when sinking steamers, but
in this instance the submarine was
forced to withdraw quickly on the ap-
proach of other vessels. 1t therefore
was unable to assist in the work of
rescue, as the malicious and hostile
attitude of English merchantmen to-
ward our boats is well known and
forces us to be prudent"

BABY PRICE

Sunday afternoon, March 28th, the
death angel visited the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. L. Price, taking away
their darling baby girl, Violet Juan
lta, aged one year and four months.
Everything was done that anxious
parents could do, but to no avail. God
saw fit to pluck the flower and
transplant it in heaven.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Capt. H. w. Henry, whose dis
course was fraught with sympathy
and coincidence for the grief stricken
family.
Her death has left vacancy in the
hearts and home of the parents that
can never be filed.
Oh, blessed sleep; soothed to rest
on the bosom of him who said Suffer
the little children to come unto me,
for OF such is the kingdom Of heaven
Dear parents, look up; your darling is
not dead, but only gone little while
before and is now happy in heaven.
May she beckon us and may we sweet
ly follow. She was a precious rose
bud and her sweet life had so en-
twined its cords around the hearts OF
those who knew her that they were
hard TO be broken. Though only a
little child she left many sad hearts
to mourn her absence. Sc was toe
precious to live here SO the Lord took
her to his mansion in heaven. So
weep not, sorrowing ones, as those
who have no hope for you can go tc
her.
She leaves a father, mother, two
sisters and five brothers to mourn
her death. May the God of all com.
fort and console them in their sore
trial. One Who Loved Her.
