A PERILoUs STAGE RIDE-Las
Thursday night about 8 o'clock, about
mile and half from Goshen, in Rock
bridge, a stage Of A. w. Hartman, Jr's,
line driven by John Klice, coming from
Lexington, attempted to cross the
swollen creek, having ON board Col.
Ross of Lexington, Mr.. Bartholomew
OF Baltimore, three valises and the
mails. The stage had hardly gotten in
to the stream before it was overturned
by the force of the current and the hor-
SEES detached and swept off. A colored
man near by ran up and cut tree so
that it fell across the water and the pas
sengers who had COTTON out through the
window, got on 1t and with the driver
escaped. The stage was carried off by
the currant and broken to pieces. One
OF the wheel horses was found drowned
mile of but still hitched to the bar,
and the other was found alive some
distance off. Col. Ross valise was re-
covered several miles away and the
two through mail bags were found.
The two lead horses have not yet been
found. The team was valued at $780,

TINKER MEETING.-The German
Baptists, more commonly known as
Thinkers, held their annual meeting in
the new Church about three miles n. E..
of this place on last Saturday and Sun
dag. The church is large, well finished
and well arranged. The congregations
were very large, fully one-third were
unable to get into the church. On
Sunday evening the ordinances of the
church, including feet washing, celebra-
ton of the Feast Of the Passover and the
Lords Supper, were observed. The
ceremonies were Of au impressive and
solemn character. Two hundred and
fifty members of the church celebrated
the feast of the Passover at the same
time. The exercises were conducted by
an able minister, from Maryland, assis-
ted bv number of elders from this and
other counties of the Valley. The ex'
ercises Of the meeting, we are informed,
will continue during the week.

SHOOTING AFFAIR.-Mrs. Mary
Pope, wife OF Conrad Pope, Of Clarke
county, was before a magistrate on
Monday, charged with shooting man
named John G. Grubbs. According to
the testimony before the magistrate
Grubbs had rented piece OF land
from Mrs. Pope, upon which he raised
a crop of corn. In entering upon the
land to get the corn Grubbsswas in the
habit Of taking down the fencing and
driving in. Against this Mrs, Pope
protested, because. as she SAID, the
hogs had several times gotten into her
lot and destroyed its products. On
Monday Grubbs was taking down the
fence. when Mrs. Pope appeared and
expostulated against the act, insisting
that he should enter by the gate which
opened into the lot. One word followed
another between the parties. Mrs. Pope
declared that she would sooot Grubbs
if he pulled her fence down again. The
fence was taken down. when Mrs. Pope
discharged the gun she carried with her.
and the contents lodged in Grubbs's
back. While his injuries are painful
they are not considered dangerous. Mrs.
Pope was sent on to the court for trial,
but was released to appear, again by
giving bail in the sum Of s500.-Clark1

Mr.. Editor -

Mr.. EftOr =
1t is time that Shenan.
doah county were becoming aware Of
the fact that she yearly pays into the
State Treasury $500 exclusively fol
school purposes and that she gets back
from the State not the half Of it; anC
moreover that this balance is not ap
piled TO schools atall, but is, in open
violation of the Constitution, diverted
into other channels. Your article o.
last week stated the facts in the case
fully, and I shall not trespass upon youl
time by repeating them. Iwish merely
to say word as to the duty Of the
people under the circumstances. It is
incumbent upon us to urge upon oul
Representatives to the House of Dele.
gates the necessity of instituting an in
quiTy into the manner in which the Pub.
lie School Funds have been managed
and, if possible, Of introducing a bill
which will make it obligatory upon the
auditor to pay the money as the Con.
stitution directs. lie assigns as his
reason for diverting the funds to other
purposes that he considers all claims
against the State as standing on an
equal footing and he thinks nc
claim should have precedence ovel
another. This would be true il
the whole state tax were col
lected for the general purposes Of
government without specifying for ,chQ;
purposes, but the Constitution declares
that certain per cent. stall 90 to the
schools, and no sophistrY can explain
away this obligation. IF the auditor
says he must obey the Representatives
of the people and not the Constitution
then let our Representatives construe
the law for him.
DR.. Ruffner estimates that the State
owes the Schools from capitation and
property tax $3.50, 600, and the deficit
is ysar2y increasing. How long will if
take at the present rate to XIII the pub
lie schools?
Already it is feared that it viii be i'm.
possible 10 open al the schools, since
the law requires that they shall when
opened be kept open for months.
Suppose one tenth Of the schools in the
county have to remain closed (Which
is not at all improDable). Unless
something is done, the number would
be increased mex year to ninth, and sc
on, until, IN very few years the system
would be wholly abandoned. 1t Is
hoped that the Representatives o
Shenandoah will do something to aver
this state Of affairs.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Train thrown from the Track.
Engineer and Fireman Fatally sealGed.
ARREST OF THE GUILTY PARTIES.

The freight train of Capt Collins was
running very slowly upon down grade
about three fouths of mile west of
Cowan's Station on last Saturday even
1 ing, about 7.40 O'Clock, when the en-
CINE was suddenly thrown from the
tack and fell over small embankment
of about seven feet. The engine was
badly wrecked, as were also two Or
three cars loaded with wheat, coal, &c.
The dome Of the engine was broken and
the escaping steam scalded Mr.. Thomas
Chidlow and Mr.. Thompson, fireman.
Their injuries were near the stomach and
were so severe that both died, MIR.
Thompson at 6, and Mr.. Chidlow at s,
on Sunday morning. The other train
hands and passengers were uninjured.
The train was thrown from the track
by cross ties which had been fored into
a cattle stop between the lands of Mes
Sis. Cowan and Brock. About 10 or -
inches OF the ties were above the road.
A trihiing charactea named Eltinger was
suspected Of the deed. He had brought
with bin from Maryland boy about IA
years Of age named Powell. This bey
was found in the woods. we are inform
ed, on Sunday morning, and being az
rested, confessed that he was one of the
party, and that Eltinger and a man nam
ed Lutholtz were the parties who had
done the work. Eltinger was arrested
while digging post hole for post to
tasten the ropes used in drawing the en-
CINE to the track. The feeling against
him was intense and there was dispo-
sition to lynch him at once, but through
the persuasions Of the Railroad agent
and some others he was permitted to be
taken in charge by the officers ofthe law
and committed to Jail at Harrisonburg
Lutholtz has also been arrested. 1t is not
supposed that their object was plumber,
but that the act was the result Of fen
dish desire to do mischief. The penalty
under the Virginia Statute, for obstruc,-
ing an engine whereby the life Of a trav-
eller is put in peril, is confinement in
penitentiary for not less than three-nor
more than, five yeara. In this case,
however, the parties were guilty Of
a more serious offence and might very
properly be found guilty Of murder.
