Then Went and Blew Their Heads off,
 Their Bodies Found Together Used the Samc RevoIver-One President an d the Other Cashier of the Vancouver First National Bank. Vancouver, Wash, April 21.-Charles
 Brown and E. l.. Canby, president and
 cashier respectively, of the First Ma
 tional bank, of Vancouver, which was
 closed yesterday by the controller of
 the currency, committed suicide last
 night two miles from this city, by shooting themselves with revolvers.
 Their bodies were found this morning
 lying together in a small clump of
 bushes. Both used the same weapon and Canby evidently died first, as the revolver was found in Browns hand Each put the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and blew the top of his head off.
 The fact that Browns bicycle and an umbrella of Canby were found a short distance out of town last night, led to the belief that they had taken their lives A searching party started out to- day and after several hours search the bodies were found. Canby upon being told by Bank Examiner J. w. Max well, on Friday evening, that the bank would not be permitted to open Satur- day went out in the yard behind the bank and attempted to shoot himself. His revolver failed to explode After failing to shoot himself, Canby came back into the bank and he and Presi- dent Brown left together taking his re- volver. When Examiner Maxwell con- fronted the bank officials with the short age of $S1, ,OOO both men admitted their guilt It is said that Brown and Canby had been speculating in stocks.
 Besides Browns body there was found a package containing s25 and note saying that the money belonged to his daughter. Upon Canbys body the fol- lowing brief note was found:
 My Dear Wife: feel what I am about to do is for the best. Forgive me if you can and try to live for our dear children. God bless you all. Good bye. Ned April 20."
 Brown, who was fifty years of age, has lived in Vancouver since 1866. Canby was fifty-two years of age and was well connected. A brother is pay master in the United States army. An other brother committed suicide by jumping off the wharf at Vancouver several years ago.
 While Bank Examiner Maxwell, who Is now in charge as receiver, has made no official statement. it is known that the bank has loaned a large sum of on insufficient security. Ac- cording to his report to the controller of the currency there is a shortage of s81 ,000 in the banks accounts and it is that a considerable portion of this amount was loaned to Brown and Canby on their personal notes. About a year ago the bank reduced it's capital stock from $10O,000 to $50, ,000 At that time about one-half of the so- called bad assets were charged off, and carried as an asset since that time
 The heaviest stockholder is Colonel Stephen Joslyn, of the regular army, member of Gen. Shafter's staff. Colonel Joslyn is stationed at San Francisco. He was stationed at Vancouver when Inc bank was organized in 1889. Ac- ,ording to the last statement issued ir February, the bank had deposits to about $290,000

 Pittsburg, April 21.-Pittsburg and Alleghany are slowly emerging from the murky flood. At o'clock tonight the rivers were receding at the rate or a foot an hour The highest point reach ed at Davis Island dam was 25.S feet at a m. The water remained stationary until about 8 p. m. when it began to fall. Conservative estimates or the to- tal damage in that district is between s2,OOO,O00 and s3,0O0,000 Fifty thousand workers are suffering from enforced idleness.
 While there have been greater floods at this point, there never was one that caused so much financial loss and dis comfort. This was due to the denser population caused by the recent rapid growth of the two cities, and to the fact that all the manufacturing plants on the river banks were in active oper- ations, most of them working day and night, until the rising water put out the fires and drove the workers to high CT ground. The loss to the railroads en- tering Pittsburg from floods, landslides, wrecked bridges, heavy snow and the interference with traffic is reughtly es- timated at $1,000,00O
 Cincinnati, O., April 21. There has been more alarm throughout the Ohio valley day on account of the floods than at any period since February, 1884, when the Ohio river reached its highest y,1 v>jpa inches at this city. Most of the inhabi tants of the valley spent the night in anticipation of the worst flood ever known in the valley, as they will not know until tomorrow the water has begun falling at Pittsburg. Until this news reached the river the men here o-night it was feared that the record of 1884 might be broken, but now it is generally believed that the river will not exceed the floods of February, 1897, and of March, 1898, when it reached six ty-one feet at Cincinnati. The present flood is the worst that has ever been known so late in the spring. While the water has begun to fall at Pitts burg, both rain and snow have been falling heavily since last night all along the OnlO valley. The danger line has already been reached at points above Cincinnati, and it will be reached here tomorrow morning. The mer- chants and manufacturers in the lower part of the city have been working all day and night preparing for the worst The Sunday excursion season was to have started here to-day but navigation was stopped because the boats could not pass under the bridges.
