SHOT HIMSELF IN HEAD.
Commander w. H. Alderdce Suffered
 from Nervous Breakdown.

Commander William H. Alderdice, U. S. N., retired, who took his life Tuesday afternoon at the home of lis sister law, Mrs. Winslow Alder dice, on Ocean avenue, by shooting himself in the head. had been very melancholy during his stay of three or four weeks in New London this sum mer, due to poor health. Although suffering from melancholia, he had betrayed by no action or word that he had any idea of attempting self de- struction. Tuesday he was in appar- ently good spirits and his act was all the more surprising on that account. Mrs. A1derdice and Mrs. Ebbs, sister in-law and sister of the deceased, are completely prostrated by the sad oc- currence.
 Mrs. Walter Ebbs of Washington, sister of the deceased attributes her brothers act to the result of nervous prostration, from which he had been suffering and under the strain of which he broke down.
 Commander William Hillary Alder dice was a son of the late Hillary AIderdice of Delaware and a brother of the late Winslow Alderdice of New London. He had brilliant career in the navy, serving with credit in the Spanish American war.
