states attorneys in certain cases, al
lowing road taxes to be paid in cash;
ordering the faculty at the agriculture
al college to make an annual exhibit at
the state fair; empowering county
commissioners to appropriate money
for state fairs, providing for township
fire guards: and a joint resolution for
a constitutional amendment to allow
the legislature to provide special tax
levy for the construction of twine
plant at the penitentiary.
The senate made laws by passing
house bills making notes for physi-
clans services non-negotiable; author
jzing consolidation of certain funds in
the state treasury.
New senate bills were: BY Friberg,
to fix fees of insurance companies, and
resolution by Cassill indorsing the
position of President Roosevelt on
railroad rate legislation.
The interest in the session Saturday
conferred in the house, where the pri-
mary election bill was up on commit
tee report. Stokes, chairman of the
elections committee, moved the adop-
ton of the adverse report. This was
opposed by Turner of Faulk, one of
the committee, with minority favor
able report. Carol led the debate
with speech against the report, and
was followed by Turner of Faulk. both
setting aside as puerile the commit
tees objections to the petition.
Holman followed in defense of the
committees action, declaring that the
committe carefully considered the pc
tition and found it so full of flaws that
they could not consider 1t legal petit
ton. Rodge also spoke for the COM
mite report and declared that it show
ed evidence that the portion OF the law
in regard to county local option had
been inserted after the petitioners
names had been secured.
Apland. one of the quiet members,
then attacked the majority report, and
he received close attention while he
took strong stand for the primary
law. The final vote of the house on
the proposition showed the report de-
feated by AZ to 38.
This merely makes record, as the
whole matter was killed for the SEES
sion by the senate action.
The only other business of the house
was the presentation of few bills, the
principal of which were: BY the live
stock committee, to repeal the law
against killing beavers; by the judi
ciary committee, to allow clerks OF
court to adjourn matters to circuit
court in the absence of the Judge, and
peddler's license bill by Wolsemuth.
The senate held short session,
merely presenting new bills, by the ap.
propriation committee, appropriating
$4,000 for printing, and by Doering,
for liquor license law allowing II
cense vote, il taken, to stand until
voted down. An adjournment was
taken to listen to the house discussion
on the primary bill.

Mr.. John Grigsby Beckham, who had
for a long time benin i'll health, was
found dead this morning in bis room at
the residence of Mr.. Robert n. CROOK,
on south Washington street.
The deceased was one OF the most gen
erally known residents of Alexandria
and at one time ar active and prosperous
merchant who took prominent part 10
all public movements and enterprises
conceived for the enhancement OF the
city's interest. He was son OF the late
lanes Beckham, of Culpeper. he leaves
one sister. Mrs. George Ross, OF Rich
mond. At the outbreak OF the civil war
he entered the Confederate service, hav-
ing beer member of Mosby's command.
A few wears after the close of the war he
removed to Alexandria, where ne had
since resided. -.
A quarter of century ago he and MS
brother. the late j. T. Beckham, we're
conducting the commission business III
this CITY. which was continued up 10 a
few wears ago. Kind and courteous by
nature. he made many friends who
Justly appreciated him. In 1889 he
was candidate FOR Mayor OF the CITY,
and although he failed Of election he re-
ceived large complimentary vote. ln
1895 he was again candidate for that
position and emerged triumphant after
an exciting campaign. Mr.. Beckham
had however, Overtaxed himself in
the struggle, and when the result
was announced on the night follow
ing the day of election his physical
condition was found to be impaired
and he was in no state to take
upon himself the burdens and respon-
sibilities of the position. He, however,
qualified before Judge Norton, then
Judge of the Corporation Court, several
weeks preceding the first of July, the
day upon which his duties began ana
with DIR. w. Nj. Smith left Alexandra
for Europe, hoping change Of scene
and the ocean breezes would restore him
to health, but they filled to do so and ne
returned home on the next steamer his
condition grew worse, and notwithstand-
ing the exertions of the best physicians
he failed to rally materially, and amelan-
choly developed which became more pro-
nounced daily, from which it was I'M
possible TO arouse him. He eventually
rendered his resignation as Mayor to the
CITY Council and that body elected a
successor.
Mr.. Beckham was eventually COM
pelled to reIinquish his business pursuits
and later ceased to appear on the streets
His physical condition grew more dis,
tressing daily, while his faculties seemed
in may condition. He had for years
lived with Mr.. Crooks family.
