Vancouver Wn., April 22.-Charles
Brown and e. l.. Candy, president and
cashier respectively of the First Ma
tional Bank of Vancouver. which was
closed recently by the comptroller Of
the currency, committed suicide two
miles from this city by shooting them
selves with a revolver. Their bodies
were found lying together in a small
clump of bushes about one half mile
north of Columbia school, which is
situated on the outskirts of the town
They both used the same weapon
and Candy evidently died first, as the
revolver was found in Browns hand
1t is evident that Candy put the muzzle
of the revolver in his mouth and then
blew the top of his head off. Brown
then took it and shot himself in exact
ly the same way, falling over Canbys
body. The fact that Browns bicycle
and an umbrella belonging to Candy
were found a short distance out of
the two bank officials had taken their
lives.
A searching party started out and
after several hours hunt the bodies
were found in the clump Of bushes.
Friday evening Candy, upon being
told by Bank Examiner J. w. Maxwell
that the bank would not be permitted
to open Saturday, went out IN the yard
behind the bank and attempted to
shoot himself. His revolver failed to
explode. although all five chambers
were loaded. After failing to shoot
himself Candy came back into the
bank, and he and President Brown left
together, the latter taking his revolver.
When Bank Examiner Maxwell con-
fronted the bank officials with the
shortage of $81 900, which he had dis
covered, both men admitted their guilt.
1t is said that both Brown and Candy
had been specializing In stocks. Be
side Browns body there was found a
package containing $25 and note say
ing that the money belonged to his
daughter
Upon Canby's body the following
brief note was found:
my Dear Wlfe-I 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. Goodbye.

INTER COLLEGIATE DEBATE.

Randolph.Macon and Richmond
College Tussle for the Prize
Won by the Ashland Boys.
Reported for the VA. CITIzEN.)
On the night of March 1st the
second intercollegiate debate ever
held in Virginia, was held in the
College Chapel at Ashland. The
contest was between Randolph Macon
and Richmond College. The question
was: Resolved, That United States
Senators should be elected by direct
vote of the people," Richmond
College had the affirmative, Ran.
dolph-Macon the negative. After
prayer, by DIR. w. E. Edwards, and
the address by the President, Mr..
Lee. G. CrutchGeld, there was a
defamation by Mr.. Dunaway of
Richmond College. Then came the
event of the evening. The question
was read. Mr.. j. S. Egglestou, of
Richmond, was introduced as the
first speaker. His chief argument
was that the people demanded the
change. He was followed by Mr.. d.
L. Anderson, the first speaker for
Rsndolph-Macon Mr.. Anderson's
speech showed deep study and care
full preparation. 1t was clear, force
full and logical, and defied the
assaults of the affirmative upon it.
It was pronounced by the judges
after their decision was rendered the
finest speech they had ever heard
from so young man.
Mr.. b. NJ. Hartman was the second
speaker for Richmond. His speech
was carefully planned, but lacked
the depth and force of the preceding
speech.
Mr.. Earl Riley, of Ohio, was the
second speaker Cor Randolph Macon.
Mr. Riley opened by showing that
Mr.. Eggleston in quoting from James
Bryce had quoted only part of a
sentence, and brought forth rounds
of applause by finishing the sentence
and thus turning the tables upon his
opponent. Mr. Riley drove hot shot
into the camp of the enemy, and
completely demolished them.
Then came the rebuttal. Each man
was allowed nine minutes. Mr..
Eggleston delivered more effective
speech than at first. Mr.. Riley fol-
lowed and employed his weapons of
demolition as before. Mr.. Hartman
was weak on rebuttal and only con-
sumed half his time. Mr.. Anderson
now rose to conclude the debate. He
showed that his opponents had failed
to prove their side, and closed with a
telling speech.
One thing that was noticeable was
the greatdifference in the appearance
of the men-Randolph- rep
resentatives had such boyish APP
pearance, while Richmond's were
giants physically.
The judges, Rev. DIR. Witherspoon,
of Richmond, Rev. j. w. Ware, of
Ashland, and Prof. Randolph, of
Alexandria, retired and upon the
first ballot, which was taken secretly,
decided unanimously in favor of
Raudolph-Macon. While they were
out Mr.. Kennedy of Randolph Macon
entertained the large audience with
a defamation.
A gentleman in the audience who
had heard some of the debates
between Northern Colleges and
Universities said he had never heard
one that equalled this one.
Mr.. Anderson, spoken of above, is
only twenty years old, a member of
the Washington Literary Society, an
A. b. of Randolph-Macon, a medal
list in both Society and College. He
is a young man of great promise.
Mr.. Anderson is son of Rev. j. NJ.
Anderson, of Saluds, and a nephew
of Rev. j. W. S. Robins of Lillian, Va.
