Commits Suicide.

j. Polk Scott. a prominent dealer in agri-
cultural implements, committed suicide at
his place of business on Main street, Elkton
shortly after eight o'clock on Saturday morn
ing last by shooting himself in the head with
a 80 calibre revolver.
The act was committed with coolness and
deliberation. and after he had made every
arrangement for his burial, written note to
his wife, and telegram to his brother-in-law
John Chapman. OF Alexandria, Va. apprising
him of his suicide.
The pistol with which he fired the fatal
shot he borrowed on Friday evening about
ten o'clock from a friend, to whom he stated
that he intended killing dog. After secur-
ing it he first went to his warehouse and then
to his home on High street, where he con-
versed with his family as usual, and the next
morning left home about seven o'clock in an
apparently happy state of mind, his wife hav-
ing no suspicion Of his desperation. That
day he had an engagement with the repre-
sentative of a machine company to which he
was indebted. and which settlement it is
stated he was unprepared for. On his way
down town he stopped at a barber shop and
was shaved. and then proceeded to his place
of business. His brother. Jasper Scott, a
well known farmer of near Cherry Hill, to
whom he had written on Friday to meet him.
soon came in, and the two talked on minor
topics and joined in conversation with Mr.
Samuel H. King, who occupied part of the
building as .wheelwright shop, and several
other persons who happened in.
Mr.. Scott soon arose and inquired OF Mr.
King the day of tile month and asked for a
blank telegram. He left the Office and went
to room on the second floor, from which
in few minutes they heard the report of
a pistol, followed by a second shot. They
hurried to the room, and, forcing the door,
found the suicide breathing his last, his body
outstretched on two bags, his right hand
laying across his lreast clasping the smoking
revolver. Blood was issuing from n gaping
