DEATH OF R.M.BOOKER
Passed Away at 2:15 Yester?
day Afternoon.
SKETCH OF HIS CAREER
Animated Scenes in .Fudge I.tf?'H Court
White Trying to Secure ?Jurors in
the Aslihy Case. Other
Items of Interest.
Captain Richard? M. Booker, of this
city, than whom n'o n:un in Elizabeth I
City county was better known, died at
his h'cime on Qui en street at 1C> minutes
past 2 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, after
on illness of eight days. The dying man
was sur:ounded by the members of his
family, his brothers and sist' r ar.d a
number of friends. He pass'd away
conscious of all that was taking place
around him, and that for htai the sun?
light of life wa^s sio'.wly but surely fad?
ing. He seemed to fi el no fear. The
end came calmly ami peaceiu-lly. With
gentle words he sfpoko to his we1 iplng
wife; and kindred, bidding them dry
their t ars, for he had passed the limit
of .ftrthly aid. When speech failed he
indicated his desire for pencil and po?
pe r, anldi'when they were handed to him
he wrote thesii wards':
"^Hampton, Va., Feb. 11, 1S3S.
"I am dying on this day, and it seems
to me like an ordinary piece of busi?
ness."
Yesterday a wKek ago 'Captain Booker
returned from Richmond, where he had
been looking after important business
interests. Hi.- was ill when he reached
his home. A severe chill followed and
he was compelled- to take his bed. Still
it was not thv-ught that he was ? it-iously
sk-k, on.i his family believed that a few
kiiays of careful nursing wvuld bring a
return, of health. On the streets his ill?
ness was not known until Thursday ev?
ening, by which time his condition be?
came alarming. The night that followed
?was oneof painful anxiety to the family.
A consultation of physicians was callid
and yesterday morning the last hope of
the doc-tors tied. Typhoid pneumonia nad
fastened its deadly grip upon him and
human skill was unable to break it.
Knowing that he could not survive ti.i
day, Mr. Bo-oker s-;nt for Cc-lonel Thos.
Tabb Qniil quietly adjusted his- business
affai':s.
He had not been well for a year and
sffimed to realize- that he was not only
approaehir.vg the evening- of life, but
that its night was not far distant. His
view of existence appeared to be char?
acterized by stoical n -signation. He did
not long f-o-r the end, hut yet he did not
fear it. And so it was with1 him yes?
terday, when the messengi r bearing the
ifina-1 summons stood before him. There
was no dread of d^ath, but he passed
away as "oni - ?hw w.a?S the drapery of
his couch about him ana lies d -wn to
pleasant dceams."
Richard M. Booker was born on Feb?
ruary 3. 1S37, and henee was 61 years of
age. He first saw the light in the fa?
mous mansion on Back river, not far
from thi ? waters of Che.-ap-.-ake Bay.
named by his father, George B-ooker. the
Shwood. On this fat-mi the finest in
'Eastern Virginia, he (remained until t'ht
civil war broke out. Then, being an
ardent advocate of the principles upon
which the Southern statt e based their
right to withdraw from the Union, he
left Virginia and went to Macon, Ga.,
where he became a mCHml>er of the pro?
visional army, joining the- Oglethorpe
?Rifles as a private. Thus sixty oays -tve
fo-n the convention at 'Richmond passed
the Ordinance of Secession. 'Mr. Booker
found himself a soldi.r ready to take
the ifte-ld. After spending ssra; time at
Macon be was ordered' with his com?
mand to Pensaeola, Fla. But his patri
otic spirit f ught against soldiering in
a country in which there was no war,
and he asked for pi emission to Jon the
army- of Gene-nil 'Lee. which was grant?
ed, and he came north with at", s-petii.
Subsequently Iv- ?urne i rc-vost mar?
shal of Richmond, filling the office- in a
manner which quickly won for him the
praise of his superiors. In this position
he conti nu d, serving with tfcte rank of a
?lieutenant, until 1SS3, when he asked to
he assign.d to active duty, and was sent
to Fort Casweli, X. C. at the mouth or
the Cape Fear river. H-.*re he rema.in.ed
until Fort Fisher fell b. fore General
Butler's army, when he again care
north. AtOA.rt Casweli Mr. B iker suf?
fer ?1 severely from rheumatism, an i
it was with diifficulty that h-=- was ab o
to get away. 'After this he followed the
Southern army for several .weeks, but
falling ill he was fared to seek th-_- care
of friends in Amelia county, where, on
account of physical disability, he was
compelled to remain until the close of
the war.
Mr. Booker was the intimate frii.md of
many distinguished tJotithtrn statesmen,
who frequently sought his advice. He
?was captured and Imprisoned sev'tral
ttimes and- had many thrilling -experi?
ences. IHe was \ ne of the inmates of the
old capitol prison ini Washington, in
company with Maj-ci.- A. E. SentpJ \ of
this city, at the time of Mrs. Surratt's
confinement there.
'He is survived: by his wife, formerly
Miss Emily Wray, whose father was o
prominent oitizi in of this county and at
one time sheriff; his brothers, George,
J-jirti. Marshall, Henry W.. and' H. r>.
Booker, and one sister, Mrs. Nannie
Jones, assistant in the p -.-t fflo at Old
Point. His sons ate George; Wray. Rich?
ard M., ar.d Philip W. He leaves one
daug-hter, Miss Willie Booker.
Captain Booker fill' id th- office of dep?
uty sh 't iff during Sheriff Jerome Tit
lion's term of service, fro-m 1S76 to 1SS0.
Subsequently ho engaged in ;hi real es?
tate and auction business in Hampton

SELECTING A JURY.
Now Thought that On? Has Been Se?
cured in- the Ashbtj- Ca sie.
Alfter a wrangln that i-sted a'H day
yesterday sixteen men. were selected as
contpet :irt p v sons t<> sit us jurors in the
Ash by case, an ii this morning, urn less
the tegaC sparring is renewed, twelve of
ti.-eir nutiwier will tb.. picked ? ut to de?
termine whether or no; Mr. Ash by is
guilty or the charge preferred against
turn. The gleamr i>an of the day was
spenlt in discussing the Qualifications o?
Mr. Hairy Pa-'ker. Tho >?? ung man waa
placed on the stand and subjected to a
painfully heroic probing by both tbe at?
torneys for tb ? common?' ul-th and the
defense. Mr. Packer informed the law?
yers that he preferred n- t to s rvi as a
juror, but when ptessed to say wliethvr
he could ter.Ct.j- a fair verdict, bus. d
Uivn the evidence in t'r.*> case, his con?
science compelled him to return an af
ftnmatiVc answer. So there he wus. and
thv ..Itterneys made the most of his em?
barrassing position.
Col mel Tul.b und Mr. Causey contend?
ed that Mr. Pa,iker was a competent
juror, but Mr. C Hier and Mr. Garretl
'"denied the all' gat ion and defied the
alligators." The discussions that rol
iowedi were animated, sparkling, soiw i.
times sizzling. Tiny Includ -i in their
scope a 'multitude of questions as remote
from fhi i real issue as the burning sands
of Sahara are from the frigid vales if
the Klondike. They embrace.1 the pro?
ceedings i .f Masonic committees and
cimlich eturts. and at onci amuse-i ami
aston-ls'lKd the crowd of eager specta?
tors. Men stood with open mouths us
if in that way they might aid their ears
in catching the Hew of wit and wisdom
und wind that r lied on and on from the
1> Igal drama within the Kir. Put it wits
all right, despite the fact that everyone
knew it to be all wrong, and no judge on
ea.ith could have stopped it.
.Mr. Parker t1 tongs to the Masonic
fr.vtevn.ity e.ind he- was a member of the
order when certain charges were pr-f
0 irred against Mr. W. H. Bridgeforth,
.u whtee instance the- ptesent warrant
charging Mr. Ash by with perjury wus
sworn out. The evidence was taken by
a committee, write in <!? wn ulivl after?
wards lead r* the lodge, without rec?
ommendation other than that the mat?
ter should ?he decided by a voti of the
miemlbers. Mr. Purker was ut first uti
altl. to tememlber whetheT h> was pres?
ent or not. 'But uifter heing probe 1 and
punched by eine side and a Ctf-irward
punched an?i probed by the oth. r, the
dim '. utlin-.s of the retrospect began to
bright) n and with the change came the
hi ?]<?' of escape.
The defense contended that th<> Ma?
sonic proceedings had nothing to do
with' the casi i The ohurge of perjury,
they suid. was entirely seputate from
any other mutter in which Ashby an 1
Bridge.fi rth were concerned, and Wunce
Mr. Parker could not be disqualified
frotm silting as a Jurvr b- ..Use of his
connection with the Masonic trial. To
this the prosi eution replied that if tb* re
was made upon Mb. Parker's mind at
the time the i'm-pression that Mr. Bridge
forth was guilty of Improper conduct
with Miss Birch, it necessarily followed
that he b> ilieved the statement of Mr.
Ashby, wlV- swore that he saw Bridge
forth enter the store at night.
Finally the1 gladiators 1-st their wind
an ': Mr. Packer, n.'ter a few met'
punches and probes, wus turned over to
Judge I-.ee. who very properly inform- 0
him thi.lt htii had better retire.

BEES LIKED HIS ODOR.
Bow a Farmer Un-ivillinely Bought a New
Pair of Shoes For a Tramp.
As I sat on the veranda with the furnier
after supper I usked him if lie wus not
greatly bothered with tramps, and his re?
ply was:
"Waul, a good many of 'em come along
and want a bite to eat, and some of 'em
are pretty sassy, but only one man of 'am
ever servod me a real mean trick."
"Poison your dog?" I queried.
"It was meaner than that. Wo was entin
dinner one day in the spring when a hive
of bees started to swarm. I'd bin cxpectiu
it and watchin 'cm and had a new hive
ready. When bees swarm, they will light
on most anything handy?a limb, a bush
et et en the pump. Jest as tho bees began
to pour out of the hive and circle around
along comes a tramp up the path to ask
for somethin to eat. The queen bee settled
down on his old hat, und tho hull swarm
fullered her. In two minits that tramp's
head and shoulders was covered witli bees,
and I yells to him for heaven's sake not to
try to fight 'oni off or he'd be stung to
death."
"Ho must havo been terror stricken," I
said.
"Xot a bit of it, sir. He was as cool as
a cowcumber, and when I told him he'd
hcv to stand In a smudge till the bees was
kliied off he jest laughed. When they'd all
settled down on him und I was goin to
start a smudge, he scz:
" 'Old man, what d'yo consider this
swarm of bees wuth in cold cashf
" 'About $5,' sez I.
" 'Are ye willin to giro $3?' sez he.
" 'What fur'r' sez I.
"'Bekasti ye'll either pay mo $15 or I'll
walk off with the bizness and sell out to
somebody else!' "
' "And you had to buy him off?" I asked.
"That's where tho meanness comes in,"
I replied the farmer. "Them bees was my
property, und I wasn't buyin what was
my own. Ho offered to take $2, but I
couldn't soo how ho could git away with
j 'em and refused to come down. Then ho
; starts off. I reckoned the bees would git
*ngry and sting him to death, but nuthin
I happened. He jest walked out into the
road and down the hill, and ho carried
thorn bees seven miles and sold 'em for a
new pair of shoes."
"And he wasn't stung?"
"Not once, sir. Tho bees seemed to like
tho smell of him, and he paddled along
tho road as grand as you please."?Wash
