THE RAILROADS OF THE VALLEY

However adverse the prospect of the speedy
completion of the railroads of this Valley NAV
appear to some people. from the events of the
past few weeks, there is, notwithstanding. no
real cause for any protracted delay. The
Shenandoah Valley Railroad has some seventy
or more miles under contract on nearly all of
which the graduation is finished The Valley
railroad has twenty-five miles, that part of its
line between Harrisonburs and Staunton,
nearly ready for traffic, having thereby been
enabled to weather the financial panic and
escape temporary suspension similar to that
OF the Shenandoah railroad Railroads are
not butt in day nor are they intended to
serve for only decade. The determining of
the most advantageous routes and connections.
IS work of more importance than the ma
Jority of people imagine. The Shenandoah
Valley railroad and others interested are act;no
wisely, we think. in fully investigating the
nature and claims of the several routes nro.
posed for q northern connection. A linz was
recently engineered from shepherdstown to
Bedington on the Martinsburg and Potomac
railroad, aud we are informed that Yesterday
morning Mr. Dougherty, an Engineer:of the
Cumberland Valley railroad, and Mr.. J. B
McElroy, left here to examine the country in
direct course to Martinsburg, the present
terminus of the Cumberland Valley railroad
Extension, with the view of making a survey
ct an early day.
We learn from various sources that the
work OF construction on the Shenandoah road
will soon be resumed with renewed vieor and
that ere long our Valley shall enjoy the bene.
Its that the completion of these new roads
will confer, which with tho of late liberal
policy of the B. 4 o. R, R. must greatly pro-
mote the future prosperitz Of our VaEan

WONDERS OF THE GRAVE,

The tomb of Edward the First, who
died in 1907, was opened January I'd.
l77O, after 463 years had elapsed. His
body was almost perfect. Cantle (the
Dane) who crossed over to England in
l0l7, was found in l776 by the workme n
who repaired Winchester Cathedral,
where his body had reposed nearly $50
years, perfectly fresh. In 1869, three
Roman soldiers, fully equipped with war;
like Implements, were dug out of a bed
of peat in ireland, where they had lain
probably 800 years Their bodies were
perfectly fresh and plump.
In the reign of James ii, of England.
after the fail of the Church of Ashley, in
Warwickshire, there was taken up the
corpse OF Thomas Gray, Marquis of Dor
set, who was buried there the 10th of Oc-
tober, 1880, in the twenty-second year of
Henry the VIII; and although it had lain
there seventy-eight years, the eyes, hair,
flesh, nails and joints remained as though
it had been newly buried.
Robert Braybrook, who was consecrated
Bishop of London in 1881, and who
hed in l404 and was buried in St. Paul's
vas taken out of his tomb after the great

cathedral, and although he had lain
there more than 262 years, his body was
found firm as to skin. hair, Joints and
nails.
Pietro Rodriguez, Portuguese Jew
eIer, while pursuing his occupation in
the City of Mexico, was, i'll 1895, ac-
cused before the tribunal OF the inauisi-
ton, and, after suffering a variety OF tor
lures, was condemned to be buried in the
Convent de st. Domingo, in that city,
He was then 80 years old The Convent
DE- st. Domingo was lately destroyed in
search of treasure supposed to be con.
eealed there, aud the body of Rodriguez
taken out of the vault exactly as when
placed there 270 years before. His
daughter, "a years of age, was lying
under her fathers feet and as perfectly
preserved as himself. The evidences Of
torture on the body of the jeweler, ale
feariully apparent. Marks OF the cord
and of the burning irons are deeply re-
corded on various parts of his body
His hair and beard are firm, his skin nat
ural in hue and texture, without the least
trace of decomposition in any part.

A DOG CHASES A RAILROAD
TRAIN.

Wednesday was "a good day for the
race the canine race is referred to--as
the following true tale' of a Minnesota
dog, related by an eyewitness, shall prove.
On that day as one of the trains on the
Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad
stopped at Centreville. few miles be-
yond White Bear Lake, a lady took seat
in one of the passenger coaches, and the
train started. When it stopped at White
Bear Station dog Of medium size, and
with rather shaggy coat, came alongside
upon the platform, and was noticed to be
very warm and painting heavily; again, a
few miles farther on, a halt was made to
take water, and Conductor Bond called
the attention of some Of the passengers
to the fact that that dog had followed
them from White Bear Lake, as he sup
posed. The train was again off, and
shortly doggy was seen close behind:
Passengers became interested and
crowded to the rear of the car to watch
the race. Occasionally, at some pool be-
side the track, doggy would dash down,
take a few drops of the cooling. fuld,
varying this sometimes with bath, and
then with sharp yelp or two, as if in
pain at the idea of being left behind, dash
on. In this way an even race was main
tanned until down.grade was reached,
when the train made long, swift dash

Doggy now fell behind; he tried hard,
put it was too much for him; his little
body was, however, just full of pluck
and perseverance, and to the delight Of
the passengers, whose sympathy was
iully aroused for the canine hero, when
the upgrade was reached doggy made
good his loss and caught up with the
train. Conductor Bond said he would
stop and take up the weary runner, nov
showing signs Of exhaustion, but there
was no one to take care of him or to de
nver him to at the journeys end. b!

4 BRUTAL FATHER.

One day recently a respectfully dressed
man carried a well grown child, mufiied
up and apparently sick, into French s
Hotel in this city. He placed the child
on the stairs and began to talk to it in a
very unkind, rough way. The attention
of the guests was attracted and they
gathered around.
"You are able to walk up stairs by
yourself, the man said, "and | won't
carry you"
'Oh, oh, ;" the child sobbed, do carry
me up, please. pa, do. You know ever
since was run over by the car and lost
both my feet, l cant walk up stairs
alone
That's all stuff, " the man answered; :;
get up at once or I'll make you"
The poor child began to sob worse
than before, and the brutal man gave it
a severe thump over the side of the head.
The child moaned piteously. The indig-
nation of the bystanders was excited
and one of them said to the man, Is
that child yours r.
What's that to you?" the man an
swered. u won't tell you"
"He's-my-father, the child sobbed,
"and-he-killed-my - mother-just--
as--he's-a going-to-kill-me."
The man doubled his fist and made as
though be was about to give the child a
savage blow. One of the bystanders
interferred and said, Say, il you don t
stop this III call y policeman. | never
saw such brutal father in all my life.
The man began to tumble in his peck
cts, and the child cried out, Take care
he's got knife. Hes a going to stick
YOU"
Sure enough, the man produced ii
knife and opened ii. The crowd slipped
off one by one, except two.
Bring an officer, one of these cried
to friend.
"lf am to be arrested, the mar
said, ''it shall be for something, ant
thereupon he plunged the knife into tht
body of the child. The child shrieked
I'm murdered. I'm murdered and {
crowd rushed to the spot. The mar
1nletly raised the child in his arms, anG
removing his hat, said:
Gentlemen, this is wooden child
I'm ventriloquist, and any little offer.
ing you may be pleased to make will be
very acceptable"
