in accord with the custom OF all legisla-
tive bodies, and believe my heart is In
sympathy with every other member on this
floor. that it is not proper for us to- day to
continue the discharge Of ordinary business.
j think that We should take appropriate &C
ton in honor of the dead This House

body attend the funeral cortege. COM
mittee should be appointed to attend the
body OF the departed one to the grave.

shocked to read in the press this morning Of
the death of Representative Browning, from
the counties of Brown and Monroe. l move
that such action be taken BY the House.

action the Senate may desire to take, but as
that body does not meet until o'clock this
