HORRIBLE. AcCIDENT.-On last Thursday
morning, Mr.. b. G. Turner, young man aged
"a wears, son of Mr.. VIM. Turner. of this eolrn-
ty. and brother Of Mr.. w. NJ. Turner, of the
firm Of Turner 6 Hartman, OF this city, was lit
orally crushed to death and torn to pieces. He
was brakeman on the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
road. Asthe through freight was coming cast,
and passing Allegheny station, about 3 O'Clock
inlthe morning, the. signal for down brakes was
given, when he attempted to jump from the top
Of one car to the other to get to his post, he
missed his aim, and fell between the cars to
the track. Six cars passed over Ills body, cut
ting off both legs, breaking both arms, and
crushing his body into an almost indistinguish-
able mass, causing, Of course, instant death.
His remains were brought-to-this city; the fu-
neral services were held in the baptist church,
., which he wasa consistent member, and
4. sermon appropriate to the occasion preached by
Rev br. Marry Ills remains were then con
csved TO the cemetery ior iasermant.

TRINITY CHURcH.-W learn that Rev.
VIM. Hullihen, rector of Trinity Church, has
declined to accept the call to Petersburg. Our
citizens, OF all denominational persuasions, will
be gratified to learn this fact. Mr.. Hulihen is
a christian minister commanding in high de-
gree the confidence and friendship of our peo-
pie generally. His field Of usefulness is right
here in Staunton. and we earnestly hope he
will dispose of any similar call that may be
received, in like manner.

MEXICAN WAR VETERANs.-On the 10Th,
the sub committee Of the House Committee
agreed to report a pension of eight dollars, per
month to the veterans of the Mexican war
The following are the benefciaries of this act
in the city OF Stanton: VIM. Blackburn, Geo.
Alexander, Geo. Harlan, II. D. Noon, John
Peer, j. S. Parent, VIM. e. Skeen, j. Ilick,
S. Fl. TIilb, Maurice eastman and VIM. Miller.
On the Goth Of December, 1916, a volunteer
company left Staunton consisting of the follow
ing men Captain Ksnton Harper; Lieuten-
ants r. II. Kinney,V. S. Geiger, ". II. Har-
man; Sargeants, Allen, Ball, Dunlap, Black

Searle.
After a twenty months campaign che rem
nant OF this company returned, arriving in
Staunton on the 81 Of August, 1913.
The surviving members, in the county Of Au
gusta, are: Samuel Helm, G. II. Huvey, c. G.
Merritt D. A. Slower, J. IL. Steele and G. Ter
rll.
Besides the regular Company q number of
recruits joined during the war, the names of
whom we we're unable TO learn. There is also
another pensoner, whose name does not ap-
pear in the list, but who carried arms through
the entire war and was always ready for duty
when called upon. His name is Allen Davis,
an old servant of the late Colonel ~. Fl. Har-
man, and we hope that he also may receive
benefit from this fund.
1t is suggested that meeting Of all the sur
viYors of the Mexican war, who reside in Staun-
ton or in Augusta County be held at an early
day to take such action as may be deemed ad-
visable with reference to the pension.

p CITY AND COUNTY IMPROVEMENTS.-Th
is no subject that should more seriously address
itself to the attention of the county and city
authorities, than the preservation Of the public
records. 1t is undeniable that they are very inse
curely protected, and shat there should be fire
proof vaults Of ample capacity for the accom-
mediation of all the papers relating to titles,
SC. Encountered as the various offices OF rec
ord are with important documents, there is no
room in either OF them for the construction
OF vault of sufficient dimension for the pur-
pose named. The only way to censuminate
this result would be to erect the vaults in rear
of the present clerks Offices. This would in
terfere with the use, for the purpose it is now
appropriated, of the room above the Circuit
clerks Office. The question then comes up,
what would the city do for rooms for the Hus
tings Courts and Clerks office, and Council
and clerks apartments? The only answer that
can be given is-to erect City Hall. There
is no doubt that this is very much needed
The Hastings Court, Mayors office, Clerks
Office, Police Justices offices, Policeman,s at1Ft-
ments, all should be combined in one building,
under the exclusive control of the city.
We understand it is desired by the County
Supervisors that some such Arrangement be
made, in order to enable the county authorities
to make such changes and notifications in the
county buildings, as the condition of the pub
lie records and the demands of the county re-
ally require. If possession can be gotten ofthe
present room occupied by the city, the plan
would be to convert that into supreme Court
and county library room, dispense with the
outer stairway, and erect a large vault for the
circuit court records rear of the circuit clerks
office. The room row used by the Supreme
Court, could be appropriated to the old papers
that have accumulated in the circuit and county
offices, not directly bearing OH titles, and by
this readjustment make ample accommodation
for the growing demands upon the county au-
tiorites. The county, we understand, as at
prese Mt represented in the Board OF Supervi-
sors, would be willing to make reasonable
allowance to the city for the expense it may
have incurred In the arrangement of the pres
ent city chamber.
Not only this, but it has been intimated, that
in the remodeling and Improvement of the
county property, would be included q neat
iron railing around the court yard, and the
general fixing up Of the yard, in more slightly
and attractive manner than now characterizes
| it.
| The whole matteris worthy the attention Of
the city and county authorities, and we hope
the practical, progressive men in each depart
ment will address their attention 10 an early
consideration .of it:

THE LECTURE.-Pursuant to announce
ment, Major J. F. Divine, State Lecturer of
the Good Templars, visited our city and deliv-
cred an address on intenaperanee, Tuesday
night last in the Methodist Church. There was
a large attendance of citizens besides the diff
ferent temperance organizations OF the city
Major J. w. Newton presided. After the sing
ing OF temperance ode, prayer was offered
by Rev, DR.. Roszell. The president then intro
duced DR.. w. J. Points, of Harrisonburg. Va,
Grand Worthy Chief Templar Of the State Of
Virginia, who after making some appropriate
and feeling remarks, introduced Major Divine,
whom he said had been faverably and advan-
tageously heard in different parts OF the State.
That gentleman then attracted the attention of
his audience for about one hour, relating anec-
dotes, many Of which were quite ancient.
Some of his illustrations were iorceful and
impressive. He was quite severe on the minis
tiers and members Of the church who were re-
fusing to unite their. efforts in helping forward
the temperance cause. The Lecturer appears
to be an earnest and sincere worker in the
cause, and is quite familiar with the grinding in
what he calls Rum Mills" The meeting
closed with singing Doxology and benedie-
! ton by Rev. j. I. Miller. We hope the meet
Ing win he productive Of good.
