Naval Officer Commits Suicide.
(By the Associated Press. }

New York, Sept 3O.-Lieutenant Com
mander William V. Bronaugh of the
United States Navy, committed suicide
today on the battleship earsarge, at the
Navy Yard by blowing out his brains
with a revolver. Friends of Commander
Bronaugh believe that he was very much
worried over the manifold duties of his
position as executive officer, which are
considered to be more arduous than those
of any other position of rank in the
navy Purnell F. Harrington. Captain of
the Brooklyn Navy Yard. said:
There is an epidemic of suicide in
the navy as surely as there was ever an
epidemic of fever. Such thing may
occur and cannot be explained The man
probably has been thinking of the other
suicides, which are very sad affairs, and
then in an unguarded moment the desire
to try it seized him and it was all over
in a minute
Commander Bronaugh was born in
Kentucky and entered the Naval Academy
in 1873.

occurred on the 25th and 26th, which ap

state, but were heaviest in the central
cast portion. The rainfall was very bene-
fetal to turnips. late Irish potatoes and
pastures, and was generally sufficient to-
place soil in good condition for blowing,
though for the latter purpose more rain
would hot be harmful.
Picking cotton has progressed quite
rapidly under favorable conditions; prac-
tically about three-fourths of the open
cotton has been picked out; the warm
weather has caused very rapid opening

ten just opening falls out badly. In some
localities the yield of cotton is better
than anticipated, but as a whole, previous
reports of a short crop seem amply justi-
fed. Gathering old corn is underway;
late bottom land corn is about mature,

been placed in shock. The cutting of to-
bacco in northern counties, where much
remains in the field, is being pushed, and
the crop continues to cure we'll. Turnips
are doing nicely. The crop of peas is
short but a fine yield of hay is being cut

about all cut on the lower Cape Fear
River and is an exceptionally fine crop.

come up nicely.

volley of Kisses, and in an instant the

cheers alternating. Devery was all the

shouting for recognition. Women spec

and urged him on, while from the gallery
came cheers for Devery until the entire
