visory council of the Grand Camp of

Capt. John J. Williams, lieutenant

time would be consumed in preliminary
arrangements. He said that as the coun-
Gil had not met before, aud as there
were no rules and regulations by which
it could be guided in efect;pg orgaui
cation, there would lie many matters
that Woald require their attention be,
fore they could go into the business for

APPOINTMENTS For STATE BOARDS

APPOINTMENTS For STATE BOARDS.
A dispatch from Richmond says: Coy
ernor Tyler has ninety-one appoint
ments as members OF the various boards
OF the State institutions to fill. These
positions do not pay anything more than
expenses of those holding then while
travelling in performance of duties as
board members. Still there are many
applicants for them. Some of the
counties already have more than one
representative on these boards. Thu
wish ofthe new Governor seems to be not
to repeat this experience nor to appoint
man on these boards who already
holds some other State Office. Such q
coalition has already influenced the
Governor in one or more instances.
This was the case with Mr.. J. T. Beck
ham, of Alexandria, who was left off
the board Of the Western Lunatic Asy-
lum. Alexandria bad two or three ap-
polntments Of this character. The Gov
ernor hopes to have these board ap-
pointments completed by the end of
this month or the early part of next
No doubt Governor Tyler has been
actuatsd oy the motives given IN the
above dispatch in making his appoint.
ments on the Slate boards. But in the
case of Mr. Beckham, of this city, that
gentleman said to-day in reference to
the matter, that his appointment was
opposed by the delegate from Alexar-
dria, Mr.. l.. c. Barley, and his friends
for personal reasons only. Mr.. Beckham
said his official record could not be at
tackled. He had been on the Western
State Hospital Board for eleven years
and president of the board for eight
years and during that long period he had
rendered efficient service to his people
here, aud OF the State generally. Not
single case, in his service on the board
he said when the papers were in proper
shape, had failed to receive immediate
attention. His friends here think he
has been badly treated by Mr.. Barley,
and regret he will not be returned TO
the board.

THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.

Inc lower rooms OF Inc WnlCe HOUSE
were brilliantly lighted last night and
filled with flowers, which mingled their
bright coloIs with the green of garlands
and tropical plants, while from the con-
serva.ory, at the west of the mansion,
came the familiar strains of the Ma
rine bard. The occasion was the first
official reception at the White House of
the present administration.
There were several changes or innc-
vations at the reception yesterday
evening The invitations were limited.
The Marine band was stationed in the
conservatory, instead Of in the outer
hallway. In the outer corridor racks
were erected for coats and wraps, and
these were covered with red plush cul-
taips. Instead of the guests being
forced into the smaller rooms at the
west of the entrance, to dispose of their
wraps, as in former years, they passed
from the hallway into the corridor, and
then to the Red parlor, prepared to
greet President ana Mrs. Mckinley.
The guests were received by Presi-
dent Mckinley, Mrs. Mckinley, Mrs.
Hobart and the ladies of the cabinet.
Secretary OF State Sherman made the
presentations to the President and Mrs.
Mckinley.
The floral decorations were very of
fective. The East room was especially
beautiful. The window recesses at the
north and south were filed with palms,
and above the mirrors were crotons Of
various shades and varieties, with a
draping of smilax over the mirrors.
The window recess of the large window
at the east was filed with towering
palms and tropical plants. The mirror
rests at the east and west were banked
with red and white roses, the border
OF red poinsetta leaves, with ferns. Up
on each Of the mirrors was circular
design of red and white roses. About
the pillars were garlands of smilax,
studded with pink carnations, and the
three chrystal chandeliers and the
electric lights in the ceiling were fes-
TONED with smilax.
In the Blue parlor, where the presi-
Dental party received, the floral deco.
rations were also very fine. Over head.
radiating from the top of the centre
chandelier, was canopy OF smilax
studded thickly with hundreds of tiny,
star-like, red, white and blue electric
lights. The smilax drapea over the
mirrors was also filled with the red,
white and blue stars.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the presiien-
tal party entered the Blue parlor,
escorted by Colonel Bingham and
Lieutenant Gilmore.
Mrs. Mckinney wore magnificent
white brocaded satin gown, trimmed
with point lace. and with numerous
diamond ornaments upon the corsage
and in her hair, fastening an aigrette.

KILLED HIS SoN.-A fatal shooting
sHray occurred at Nero postofiice, about
i've miles below this city, i'll Fairfax
county. about O'Clock yesterday after
noon. in which Lovelace Brown, Color
Ell. killed bis Oldest son, Ulysses Grant
Brown. The trouble occurred over
some Misunderstanding regarding the
lakes on piece Of land about mile
below Nero. 1t seems that Lovelace
Brown and mis- sou were at the formers
house, discussing the situation, when
The son, on learning that his father
nad disposed of q portion Of the prop
erly. grew angry and told him that he
could sell the whole piece, and that he
would RAISE no part OF the taxes. Some
Gords followed, and the men came to
b1ws. The OH man came ont second
best, and later left the scene end
wen, 10 his home, which is but short
distance away. After Ulysses had
flushed bis work he started for bis
home. AT Mr.. George B4rtle's black
siu tn shop he encountered his father,
VINO hal revolver, ana the trouble
was resumed. 1t ended by the sou be-
ny shot just over the heart. MIR. Bartls
las the first mau to reach the PROSTATE
man. He carried him iuto the shop,
where he died without regsiniug con-
sciouSness The f4ther left the body Of
us son lying in the blacksmith shop
and walked leisurely to his home. The
ether claims that his son made q
iurther attack on him and that he pre-
duced the pistol to ighten him, when
i; was discharged accidentally. Another
account, however, is to the effect that
tne elder Brown approached bis son aad
said II am goine to kill you" The son
begged him not to shoot him. Then
the old man emptied his gun into him.
.:he reputation of Lovelace Brown
throughout Mount Vernon district is
said TO be Tad. A message was sent to
