Kill Themselves.
Vancouver, Wash, April 22.-Re-
morse caused by years of stealing
which has made penniless hundreds of
their friends and other residents of
this town who trusted them, or fear
of violence at the hands of wronged
depositors who were pursuing them,
caused Charles Brown, president, and
Il. l.. Candy, cashier, of the First Ma
tional bank, which was closed Satur-
day, to kill themselves some time dur
ing the night. They met death as
they had incurred disgrace, together.
Their bodies were found in the morn
ing, one lying on the other, in clump
of bushes in Fruit valley, on the out
skirts of the town, from which they
had fed on being confronted with evil
dence >Of their crime.
Only one weapon was used. Candy
put the muzzle of the revolver to his
mouth and blew off the top of his
head Brown then took the piece and
killed himself in exactly the same
way, falling over Canby's body. Be-
side Browns body there was a pack
age containing $25 and note saying
that the money belonged to his daugh-
ter. Upon Canby's body the following
brief note was found:
"My Dear Wife, feel that what
am about to do is for the best. For
give me if you can and try to live for
our dear children. God bless you all.
GoodIby. NED"
The crowd Of depositors which had
been searching for the bankers, bent
on furnishing them summary or bring
ing them in to face criminal charge,
brought the bodies to Vancouver and
turned them over to the families-Mrs
Brown and her three children and
Mrs. Candy and her five little ones.

FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM
How a Prominent Citizen of Indiana
Passed to the Great Majority.


Passed to the Great Majority.
New York, April 1S.-James Halle
ton Willard, lawyer of Bedford, Ind,
was found dead in his room in the
Clarendon hotel yesterday by his
brother-in-law, Samuel A. Russell, who
occupied an adjoining room. Some
one at the hotel notified the coroner's
office that the man had died from
opium poisoning. This allegation
probably was based on the fact that
Mr. Willard had taken fifteen grains
of quinine and twenty-five grains of
Dovers powders Tuesday afternoon.
Willard came here a few days ago.
He told Russell he did not feel well
and he took the quinine and powder
late Tuesday afternoon. At night he
complained Of feeling dizzy and Rus
sell says he visited him several times
during the night. At 1:30 this morn
ing Willard was apparently doing and
he did not go In again during the
night.

ley yesterday on account Of floods
than at any period since February.
1884, when the Ohio river reached its
highest stage of n feet and 9 inches
at this city. Most Of the inhabitants
Of the valley spent the night awake,
in anticipation of the worst food ever
known in the valley. They did not
know until this morning the water had
begun falling at Pittsburg. Until this
news reached the river men here it
was feared that the record of 1884
might be broken, but now it Is gener
ally believed that the river will not
exceed the floods of February, 1897,
and of March. 1898.
The present flood is the worst that
has ever been known so late in the
spring. The flood will do much more
damage now than it would have done
one or two months ago. While the
close-observing river men are conf
dent that the record of 1884 will not
be broken, yet it is now evident that
much damage will be done before the
present rise is exhausted. While the
water has begun to fall at Pittsburg,
both rain and snow have been falling
heavily all along the Ohio valley.
Cleveland. O., April 22.-The fierce
storm of wind and snow that swept
over this city and northern Ohio

it was almost impossible to see from
one side of a street to the other. Tele-
graph lines are down, railways are
in trouble and trains behind time, tele-
phone lines are in a bad way and
street-car traffic is crippled.
