MR. II. MONkuR PLEisANTs DEAD.
Sudden and Distressing Demise of
This popuInr Young Man.

Mr.. X. Monkur pleasants. a son Of DIT.
J. NJ. Peasants. Of Petersburg. who has
been living in this city for a number Of
months, died quite suddenly and under
most distressing circumstances. at his
clearinghouse, No. east Main street,
at an early hour yesterday morning.
Mr.. Peasants was engaged IN the in
surance business with Messrs. }. H..
Montague ~ Co.; was very popular
among the young men of this city, anu
recently Joined the Abemarle club.
About three weeks ago he was attacked
with nervous prostration, and had 10 re-
sign his position. lie went to Petersburg
and remained there about ten days, and
returned here last week.
His nervousness increased, and he be-
gan taking opiates with a view to obtain
ing relief therefrom He increased the
dose from day TO day until he began
taking rather potential libations.
Monday he was suffering considerably,
and about 2 o'clock he went to his room
and undressed. 1t IS presumed, with a
view 10 taking a nap. The supposition is
that before lying down he took large
dose OF the opiate, and it had the effect
Of producing coma.
Nothing was heard from him until
o'clock, when Mr.. Ranne Mafshal, MS
roommate, found him on the bed appa-
rently asleep. He aroused him and told
him that IL was supper time. Mr.. Pleas
ants refused TO get up. and requested Mr..
Marshall not 10 disturb him. Mr. Mar
shall, upon going to the room again an
hour later. found Mr.. Peasants uncon-
scious and breathing hard. Seeing that the
young mans condition was serious he
called for assistance. and DR. NJ. D.
Hoge, Jr. whose Office is a few BLOCKS
distant. was Immediately summoned. DIT
Hoge responded promptly. and at once
applied heroic treatment to the case, but
without avail. Drs. w T. and st. j. Op'
penhimer, Hodges, and AlichauX were
also called in. and for nearly five hour;
antdotes. stimuants. and artificial res
piration were resorted to in the endeavoi
to restore the patient to consciousness.
The young man was however, beyond
human aid, and at S minutes to l O'Clock
he breathed his last.
The sad news was communicated TO DR.
Peasants by telegram. and Mr.. Churchill
G.. Peasants, brother Of the deceased ar
rived on the first train from Petersburg
and took charge OF the body. The re-
mains were prepared for burial and sem

the funeral Will take place to-day.

CARE FOR ORPHANS or M.sONs.
Major Courtncy's Review Of the
Work of the Home Last Year.

HHior 'OurtneN's Review OF the
Work of the Home Last Year.
The report Of the president Of the Ma
sonic Home OF Virginia, Major A. L.
Courtney. which was read during the
session Of the Grand Lodge last week.
has been published in pamphlet form,
covering sixty-two pages.
The report shows that there are now
twenty inmates Of the home, as against
twelve last year. and goes on to speak
OF the progress that has been made I'm
all directions.
The report contains the following an
nouncement Our charter does not per
nit of more than nine governors. and
our bylaws require the presence of five
of them 20 constitute quorum FOR busi-
ness. 1t is very important 90 tic entire
success Of this great Undertaking that all
parts Of the State should be Represented
on the Board OF Governors. while. AT
the same time il is important that al
least five Ca quorum should reside in or
near Richmond. The board. in view Of
these facts. has decided 10 ask the Lee
gislature 10 amend our charter 50 as 20
authorize the increasing Of the board
from nine to fifteen. having five as the
quorum. BY this means the towns and
cities at a distance from Richmond may
have representation on the Board Of Gov
ernors, and a more hearty co-opera ton
be secured from all parts Of this juris-
dictiOn.
Major Courtney also announces that
applications have been made TO the
Board Of Brother Master Masons. whose
wives have d ed. leaving small children
TO be cared for. for permission TO place
the motherless ones in the home; but that
under the charter Of the home this
was not admissible. as none but the
orphans Of deceased Master Masons were
eligible The board has therefore taken
this matter into consideration with a
view to making an amendment Of the
charter I'm this respect.
