Tho Suicidal Act of Mr.. n. B. Hay at
Alexandria.

ALEXANDRIA, VA, August @.-(Spe-
cial.)-Mr. n. b. Hay. of Madison county,
Va, an employee here Of the Southern
Railway Company. took morphine this
afternoon with suicidal intent.
Mr.. Hay had been drinking freely for
several days. He went to his room about
noon, and before S o'clock II was DIS
covered that he was dying. II Is sup
posed that he took the morphine during
fit of mental alteration. He had been In
the service of the Southern Railway Com
pany for some time, and had lately taken
the place Of Mr.. Thomas Moss, the ticket
agent at the Southern railroad depot here.
A Washington dispatch received late last
night gives further particulars or the
affair. Ii says: The clerk at the Exchange
Hotel. In Alexandria. on going TO the room
of Mr.. Hay found him lying on the bed
in an unconscious condition, from which
he tried vainly to rouse him. Scattered
about the room were partially burned let
ters, and the remains of box which had
contained morphine pills. Written win
q piece of soap In bold hand on the
looking-glass were these words:
1T is all over now"

AS the stumps of two packages OF cigar
cites were found on the floor and large
quantity of ashes on the bed, Ii was sup
posed that he had spent most OF the day
in bed, having gone TO his room before
10 O'Clock, charging the clerk not TO DIS
turb him. Physicians were Immediately
summoned. and Drs. Gullck, Purvis, ana
Smith pronounced the case hopeless one,
and at a late hour tonight 1t was not
thought that Hay could live until daylight.
He was about % years of age. and single.
Though for ten days he had been drinking
to excess, he attended TO his duties just
the same. A day or two ago he handed
the clerk at his hotel the address OF MS
brother. State Senator James Hay, OF
Madison Courthouse, saying that should
anything happen. inform my brother. he
addressed a letter to Mr.. Steurernagel,
asking him to take charge OF three let
ters, which he would find In his tdays
pocket. and not allow them to be tam
pered with, or their contents published.
His mother. who is vistingat Warrenton,
was notified OF his condition. His ac7
quaintances can assign no reason for the
act. except his over-indulgence in drink:
Mr.. Hay was in the employ or the
Danville Railroad Company, at Orange,
until the early part OF the year, when
he was transferred to Richmond to DO
special work In the Office Of Mr.. bar
bour Thompson. In June last he was ap-
