Mr. Evans offered the following resolution, which was adopted unanimously by a rising vote:

Resolved, That, earnestly desiring to show every mark of respect to the memory of Hon. Watson E. Webster, late member of this House from Page county, we do now suspend the regular business of the Assembly, that opportunity be given for his friends and associates to pay fitting tributes to his worth as a man and legislator.

Resolved, That in his death the State is deprived of the services of an experienced legislator, who has at all times faithfully and conscienciously performed his official duties, and whose private life, by its purity, well qualified him for positions of honor and trust.

Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the records of this Assembly, and that a copy thereof be transmitted by the Clerk to the bereaved family of the deceased.

Resolved, That, as a further mark of respect, this House do now adjourn.

Mr. Aldrich moved that the able, beautiful, and eloquent tributes to our deceased friend and associate be spread upon the journal of the House.

The motion was adopted.
