With 4 profound appreciation
Of the high honor which the
Democrats OF this Senatorial Dis
trict have twice conferred upon
me, | beg leave to announce my
candidacy for a denomination as
the Democratic candidate for the
Senate Of Virginia. In making
this announcement | feel it to be
pertinent and proper that | should
say TO the splendid constituency
that has so signaily hOrOred me,
that should their partiaiity again
select me rs their standard bearer
and ultimately as their represen-
tative, / shall in the future, as /
have endeavOred to do iii the
past, levOte my energy and what
ever ability | may possess to their
service. Having an ambition to
have my course in the Senate
again approved by my cOnstit-
uents, | beg to assure you that /
shall make an active canvass Of
the district, giving public &C
counts of my stewardship in
every county, and at the appoint
ments which | shall make I shall
invite my opponent to participate
in the discussion of my public
record and the issues Of the hour.
If you shall believe that my
service TO my people as their rep
resentative merits a denomination
at your hands and 4 continuance
Of the generous support YOU have
heretofore given me, shall again
be deeply grateful. And if the
uncertainties o politics and the
sovereign wisdom Of the Democ-
racy of the Thirty-ninth Sena-
toTial District shall retire me to
private life, l shall still be found
fighting in the ranks.
Very truly yours,
] BOYD SEARS.

Suicide IN Washington.

Suicide in Washington.
That the man who committed suicide
in Atlanta last Friday is Charles r. Mon
roe. OF this city, who has been missing
from his home, was made certain yester-
day when a photograph of the dead man
was sent 10 Inspector Boardman. The pic
ture was identified by W. D. Abrams and
James L. schaaf. brothers-in-law of Mon
roe, and they Immediately ordered the
body shipped to this city.
Mr.. Abrams attributes the deed TO de-
spondency over money matters. Monroe.
who, with his brother James, conducted
the Monroe Brick Company, had a large
number of outstanding accounts which he
had been unable to collect. This, it is
thought, had worried him to such an ex-
teL.t that he became temporarily deranged.
He was ffty-foUr years old. and his wife
survives him. He had no children. The
body viii probably arrive in Washington

burial from his former residence, 9l4
