Death of Mr.. John R. Todd.

The announcement Of the death OF
Mr.. John r. Todd at his home. On Oh
ney Road. Client, yesterday morning,
after a brief Hines, was received with
sincere regret by many friends in this
city. The deceased was highly esteem
ed in the community For eighteen
years prior to the war between the
North and South he was engaged in
the drug business.
At the beginning of hostilities he en-
tered the Confederate service in Com
pany G.. Gold Company F), Sixth Vir-
ginia Regiment, but later on he was
transferred to the Ordnance Depart
ment of the army with headquarters at
Lynchburg. where he was in charge of
the plant for the manufacture OF ntre.
From 1872 TO 1898 he was register OF the
city water department, n position which
he filed with honor to himself and
credit to the city. He is survived by a
wife and brothers and sisters. most Of
whom reside in Norfolk. His funeral
will be held from Christ Episcopal
Church at IL o'clock m. to-day.

Hon. John Whitehead.

The Richmond Dispatch of Sunday
says:
Delegate Whitehead, Of Norfolk, is
one Of the most enthusiastic members
of the House. He is hard worker and
bids fair to make most careful Iegis-
lator. He has already presented quite
number of bills, and will Monday in
troduce another which will prove ex-
ceedingly popular. so far as he has been
able to learn by conference with his
associates. The bill looks to restricting
wife-beating. and provides that where
man Is twice convicted of beating his
Wife ne shall be punished with stripes.
Heretofore the whipping law has
not been popular measure, but where
1t is made applicable only to wife-beat-
ers it is thought 1t will be acceptable"

oOfA1N0stS' MIAMI 55ltfICJMN1ENlJA
TIONSa MEETS TO-DAY.
3 Governor Tyler has appointed Gene
raj William Nalle, Colonel 10 Lane
Stern, Commander H. S. Cannon, Of
Norfolk; Major w. e. Simons and
Captain w. J. Perry, of Staunton, IN
official board to consider and recon-
mend changes in laws governing the
State militia.
The board will meet In the Adjutant
Generals Office at Richmond this morn
ing at 10 o'clock. and their report will
furnish the material for special mes
sage. which the Governor will trans
nit to the Leglslatu
1t cannot, of course, be predicted
with any degree OF accuracy Just what
recommendations the board will make
but 1t is certain that they will endeay-
or. to have the laws governing Vir-
ginia's militia made to conform with
those under which Uncle Sam governs
his forces. It Is thought likely that
there will be but two regiments In the
State-one In the eastern portion and
the other In the westcrn-and that
each regiment will consist of three bat
talions. The regimental STATS, If the
law conforms with that the OF the
United States. will be considerably
changed.
The plan will, 1t is thought, provide
for colonel, lieutenant colonel, and
three majors. The radical feature OF
this change consists in relieving the
lieutenant colonel of the necessity of
taking command of one of the two bat
talions composing q regiment under
the present law, which provides for
only one major. This change is defend
ed on the ground that 1t preserves the
dignity of the regimental office. There
is probability that provision will be
made for an adjutant for each battal-
ion. or the twenty-four companies nee
essary to the scheme of reorganization,
fourteen are in existence, and seven
other commands are about to apply for
admission. The minimum company en-
nstment Will probably be made eighty
four. The present minimum is fifty-
nine.

FOND OF THE JAIL.

John Mills. colored, has evidently be-
come attached to his old home-the city
Jail. Two former sentences of one year
each have only served to make him
homesick when outside of the walls OF
that institution. He ended his second
years sentence early last week. Sat-
urday he stole two chairs from McIn-
tyres furniture store. and Justice Tom
lin yesterday gave him another year in
jail. Mills sold the chairs to Annie
Wells. colored, in Reid's lane, and An
ME was fined $11.50 for receiving stolen
property.
