Mr.. Speaker: The message just read inform
ing the Senate of the death OF my friend and col
league T. j. Judkins, has not taken me by sur-
prlSe-haS not come to uneXDecteGiy / was
fully prepared for the sad announcement MIR.
Judkns was confined to his room about fifteen days
During his confinement l visited him every dav
and for the last seven or eight DAYS [ felt very
certain that his dissolution was RAPIDLY approach-
ing. Thirty years ago Mr. Judkins entered the
mousse OF commons as one Of Warren's Repre-
sentatlves very often since, sir, has that honor
been conferred on him. Whenever he aspred to
1t, his asplra tons eventuated successfully. Mod
est, and unpretending rarely participating in dis
cuss1on, he was nevertheless man of fine sense,
indeed, sir, his was capaclOus mind. Mr.. Judd
klns, in eminent degree, possessed that most
valuable quality in the character of legislator
mean, sir, frmness. He met his duty faithfully
and firmly he did not permit himself to lean aside
either to the right to the left to avoid auv re-
sponsbiity he required tie encounter
= 1t was my good fortune, Mr.. Speaker to know
Mr.. Judkins intimately and can truly say that
never knew kinder heart Liberal and generous
to a fault, man possessed more of the spirit of
accommodation, no man more alive to that purest
of emotions, the sensbilty that is aroused into
actlon a! the eau OF friendship And, sir, when
the sad intelligence reaches Warren county that
L. j. Judklns lsEno more, the hearts of her whole
people will be filled with grief and sorrow.
Mr.. Judklns was born in Warren, lived in
warren until he had entered on his Goth year
and, sir, he lived and he died without an enemy.
MIR. Thornton was followed by Messrs. Virgins
and hall, IN appropriate eulogies and Mr. Hall
moved the adjournment until tomorrow 1Os
o'clock.
