Of agriculture the products Of the

Philip II. Meade a Suicide.

Chapel Hill, N. c., April 49,
With a pistol wound in his head
made by placing the barrel in
in his mouth, Philip H. Meade,
express agent and son Of Rev.
w. H. Meade, of the Episcopal
church here, was found dead this
afternoon at 6 o'clock.
There is not the slightest cir
cumstance that has tended thus
for to clarity the mysterious
death. There is no doubt of the
suicide, but what led to it may
always be problematical. The
young man had not been de-
spondent and was, so far as can
be Learned tonight, perfectly
straight in his accounts. If he
had love affair it is not known.
He had not been a heavy drink
er.
Young Meade was last seen
alive about 1850. He had been
in the room of Fred Patterson, a
friend, both of whom have rooms
over Patterson's hotel. Near
the time of the supposed shot
nobody seems to have heard IT'D
Mr.. Meade left his friends room
and passed through another
friends, John Markham. Here
he halted, bolted the door and
fired 1.-THE shot. He was not
found until 6 o'clock and DR..
Isaac Manning expresses the be-
lief that he had been dead about
five hours. The wound was
produced by firing into his mouth
and death must have been in
Simultaneous.
M. Meade was found by a COL
ored man who went up stairs to
do some cleaning up in Mr..
Markham's room. Until that
time he appears not to have
been missed and when the door
was found bolted, it was broken
open. There he lay dead. his
clothes soaked in blood and the
pistol by his side. The colored
man was greatly frightened.
Mr.. Meade was 80 years old
and unmarried. He was one of
two children of DR.. Meade, a
sister, Mrs. R. E. French, being
the only member Of the family
to comfort their aged father.
Upon him most of all does the
blow fall heavily. No funeral
arrangements have been made.
The family were Virginians and
the body may be taken there.
Young Meade came here. IN
the winter of 1899, his father
succeeding the Rev. Thos. E.
Winecoff as rector of the Chapel
of the Cross. He attended the
state university and played ball
on its team. He was afterwards
its coach and played one season
with Raleigh. He was an I'M
usually fine athlete, handsome Of
physique and withal a modest,
though quite a lively companion
liable fellow. If he has been af-
flicted with melancholia at any
time nobody thus far has SEEM
ed able to detect it and the
death in so tragic a way, fills
