heart, at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Bal

great sufferer with heart trouble, and
about ten days or two weeks ago, by ad-
vice of his physicians and friends, though
rather against his own inclination, he
went to Baltimore to place himself under
the care Of distinguished specialists. He
was accompanied by bis friend, DR.. Frank
w. Hams, who ren&ncd with him until
his death, and who will return TO this
city with the body tomorrow morning.
Within the last two or three days DR.
Budd had one or more violent attacks OF
his heart trouble. and suct umbed 10 the
last. lie was physician enough TO dag
noZe the serious character of his disease
and knew there was no hope Of his re-
covery.
DR. Budd was about A years of age, and
was never married. He enjoped the we'll
earned reputation of a distinguished and
successful physician and surgeon. and
had bull. up a large practice, which eN-
tended far beyond this community. He
was, withal, a genial. cultured gentleman
and valued citizen. and his death brings
a great loss to our community, as well
as TO the profession which he loved and
which he hOnored.
Dr. Budd was the second son of the
late William Budd. of Dinwddie county
He was "A member OF the First Baptist
church, an earnest worker In church ana
Sunday school, warm friend Of the
poor, and did a large charitable practice
at the Home for the Sick. He was promi-
nent in Masonic and Knights Templar
circles, and was one of the two Masons

second Scottish rite degree. His memory
will long remain fresh in the hearts ana
minds Of the people Of Petersburg.

First Baptist church Monday afternoon

The death of Rev. DR. william L. Murk-
land in Baltimore last night brings sim
cere sorrow TO many warm friends of the
DISTINGUISHED divine in this city. IN years
gone by DR.. Murkland often preached in
the Presbyterian churches here, and he
was always regarded as "A Petersburg
boy. his parents having resided here for
some years. His religious training for the
brilliant and useful career which follow
ed was accomplished In large measures
through the aid and assistance of one or
the ladies' societies of the Tabb-Street
Presbyterian church. and that accom-
plishment has ever been deemed an
honor.
The sales OF loose tobacco at the ware
houses here this week aggregated about
10000 pounds. The market has been ac-
tive at good prices.
DR.. H. S. Tanner. of fasting notoriety,
is stopping in the city, on his way TO
Macon. Ga.
During the temporary absence OF the
family last night, the residence of Mrs.
Slate. on Lombard street, was entered,
and it is said the sum of $3.50 was stolen.
There is no clue thus far TO the thief.
The many friends of Mr.. Morris Myers.
who underwent an operation in Richmond
last evening. and is now under the skilful
treatment of Or. Hunter Mcclure in that
city. have been very anxious as TO his
condition to-day, and are hopeful and en-
couraged by the news they have received.
