Mr. Beazley Killed.
ASHLAND, VA., April 23.-Burwell Beazley, aged fifty-five, who lived at Taylorsville, was killed last night between there and Doswell by a Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac freight train. He had been on a spree for a week or more and while returning to his home, it is thought he staggered in front of the train, which caused his instant death.
The engineer saw him and did all in his power to save the unfortunate man. Mr. Beazley was well connected, having first married into a prominent Richmond family, and his second wife being from an excellent family in Louisa.
