A pethetic incident attended the reading
of the resolutions. Lampson, the reading
clerk, formerly a speaker of the house of
representatives Of the state of Ohio and
formerly lieutenant governor of that state
reported he resolutions to the house.
His reading manifested at once that he
was affected by the passing away of the
distinguished citizen from his state His
voice choked, his hands trembled and at
times 1t was with difficulty that he pro-
ceeded with the reading
With 4reat Effort.
IT was only by a great effort that he
performed the task. 1t was with still
greater difficulty that he read the COM
mittee list appointed by the speaker
When Mr. Lampson pronounced the last
name on the list he sank back in his
chair. Ills emotion overcame him and
he wept The house was hushed into
deep silence, when the speaker in a soft
and subdued voice laid the resolutions be-
fore the house and announced their adop-
tion. Some of the members Of the house
were visihly affected and 1t was with this
great manifestation of sorrow that the
house at lis p. m. adjourned until las
a. m. tomorrow.
