EO MASHMEYER DEAD Insurance Man Answers the Summons to Beyond.

Edward Mashmeyer, aged 40. died today after a short illness at his home, 111 South Sixth street. Mr. Mashmeyer has been connected with the Mutual Life Insurance company here for the last eight years and was formerly a merchant. He was a son of Gerhard Mashmeyer, who came here in 1847 from Germany, and was once one of the leading citizens of Richmond. The family has been well known here for more than sixty years. Edward Mashmeyer formerly owned a shoe store at Eighth and Main streets. Disposing of the property, he entered the employ of his brother, George Mashmeyer, and eight years ago went -into the insurance business. He was a brother of George and Oscar Mashmeyer, both well known residents. He is survived by his wife and four children and a sister, Mrs. George Cutter. I Funeral arrangements have not j been made. Friends may call at the i home any time. GIRL ENDS OWN LIFE BY TAKING POISON (Continued from Page One.) that time she is said to have been subject to occasional fits of despondency. Saturday she had been confined to her bed in the morning, and early in the afternoon, but suddenly arose and dressed, telling her sister she was going to town to get some medicine. The sister thought nothing suspicious regarding her actions. Upon going to town she visited a physician where she received small bottles of medicine, which were found in her pockets The medicine found, however, was not of a character which would be deadly. It is believed that on her way home in the street car she hesitrted about taking the poison, but after jumping from the steps of the car, put the bottle to her lips and hiding it by a large muff she was carrying, drained the small vial. Coroner Pierce was summoned, and after an investigation it is believed his verdict will be suicide. He held an autopsy late this afternoon. The girl is survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Al Brown, a sister, Mrs. Van Belen, of Detroit; four brothers, Bert, of Toledo; Silas, of Lagrange, 111., Garfield and Kerney Brown, of Richmond. Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the home. Interment will be in Earlham cemetery.

"DRYS" CIRCULATE PETITION-IN CHURCH Twenty-five Men Sign Paper At South Eighth Street Church.

The first petition to be circulated by temperance forces In Richmond received signers at the South Eighth Street Friends yesterday morning. More than twenty-five men placed their names on the petition. In the seventeen churches which united in the revival services and other meetings a call was extended for volunteers to assist in the circulation of the papers, and many offered their assistance. This step is the first taken since the resolution to wage a dry campaign was passed by the Citizens Committee of One Hundred. The matter of securing signers for the petitions is the all important one in the entire campaign. Should the drys obtain the required number of signatures then the commissioners must grant an election. It is expected that the public presentation of the petitions will be made at the mass meeting tomorrow night in the tabernacle. Although the dry leaders are divulging no information regarding the work of petition circulators, it is expected that factories, stores and business houses will be canvassed for signers within the next two or three days. DEFECTIVE FLUES CAUSE OF BLAZE Within the last twenty-four hours three fire calls have been made to the department and in each case a defective flue has been the cause of the blazes. A call was made at 710-712 North Thirteenth street, but the damage was small. Last evening the Akron House, 'on North Tenth street, was the scene of a small blaze resulting from a defective chimney. A third fire at 72 Ft. Wayne avenue compelled the department to make a run but the damage was small. POLICE PROTECT POLISH CHURCH SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 16 Fear of further troub'e in the vicinity of St. Casimier's Polish Catholic church kept the police and a large number of special deputy sheriffs busy patroling the neighborhood today.

Cost of current loBt between Centerville and the farm must also be paid for. The commissioners may try . to contract with the T. H., I and E traction company for electricity as a high tension wire runs within one 1 thousand feet of the farmhouse. In either case a transformer and other electrical machinery will be needed. 1 Big Work Possible when body and brain are properly nourished. Then the human machine runs smoothly.
