MEssRs. EDITORS:
In the Warren
Sentinel of March 2Sth, there appeared
an article under the head Of Burden
some Freights," an attack on the man
agement of that very important Virgin
ia enterprise, The Virginia Midland
Railroad. In that article the writer
mentioned as particular case OF OPP
preston to the patrons of the road the
charge of 1921, freight on small box
from Alexandria to Front Royal on
which only s3lS had. been charged from
Philadelphia to Alexandria, knowing
what the items were on which that
amount of freight had been charged, and
that the article, if not contradlcted,
would create a false impression, not
borne out by the facts. | wrote note
calling the EDITORS attention to the er'
rors. He published my note (as
wished) but instead Of meeting me on
the point in dispute he evaded it. Anc
brought in lot of other charges ant
threatened the Company with wagon
tram TO run from Front Royal to Mid
dletown.
l sent in a short rejoinder to this sec
ond edition, but was refused hearing
in the columns of the Sentinel. l nov
appeal to you to give me hearing Il
your valuable paper, in the interest o
Justice"
To place the original charge OF OPP
preston where it belongs, beyond thu
pale Of discussion, l give herewith
correct list of the articles on which tn
charge Of 1924 was made barrel o
sad irons, weight G75 pounds, bale o
forks 40 lbs, 4 boxes of hardware 10
lbs, . boxes of axes, 1875 lbs. Toia
lG45 pounds.
This writer, in what he probably sup
poses people will take for a reply TO m
note says, he "writes to acknowleds
any errors ana reiterate any facts

pie it was a small box) that the size &
the box has nothing to do with thu
merits OF the case. l fully agree wit
him for once he could with equal trul

"If so soon twas done for

6ut if there had been small box
brought from Philadelphia to AleXan-
dria for s3.ls, and the Midland Co., had
charged 1924 to bring 1t from AleXan-
dria to Front Royal, then says our
friend the latter company would nave
charged nearly four times as much as the
other transporting company! Surely he
must have drawn on his Imagination for
his facts and OH his fancy fer his figures.
1t appears that in his efforts to do JUS
tce he did call on the agent in this town
and he tells US he was informed there
had been some reduction in ireights On
salt, guano, and other heavy articles and
half cent per bushel on wheat. and
then trlumphantly asks ARE these the
reductions that were to surprise us sc
agreeably ?" No indeed, l understand
it now, he was fishing for cat iish and
didn't want any shad. Justice did not
REQUIRE that the people should know
that there had been a reduction OF from
25 to 33 per cent. on such important
articles OF export IRON Front Royal a:
spokes, slaves. bark, sumac and many
other articles space will not allow NE
to enumerate.
In regard to additional charges
brought forward in his articles in to
DAYS paper, l do not care TO follow hin
in his, IF it were not you it was you
brothers " style of discussion.
l agree with him again. There
plenty of room for justice being dom
without interfering with the heavens
and although he tells us he is not read
for the calamity, he need not fear tina
he will cndauger himself from tina
source, for it really looks as if he woul
let them fall rather than acknowledg
himself in error and thereby do justice
But he has discovered that the peopl
of Front Royal arc oppressed and if b
can succeed in proving it to them, W
will yet see him self-appo:nted Nose

innexible schedule for his guide, lead

BOytOnss 25 Mile Swim.
HIS DEFEAT OF THE ENGLISH CHAMPION,

The terms for the swimming match between
Capt. Matthew Webb. the English champion,
and Capt. Paul Boyton, representing the U nt-
ted States, which took place yesterday, as men-
toned In THE STAR, where 81, 900 side and a
purse of s., 900 added by James Gordon Bennett,
Boyton to make 25 miles In his swimming
armOr before Webb could make 20 without ap-
paratus OF any kind. Harman Oelrichs, of New
York, was referee. The start was made at 3
those assembled On the boats. The buoys
around which the men swan In mile courses
were placed as fOlloWS:-First near the west
side Of the beach, almost directly opposite the
Chandler villa; second, nearly opposite the
forty steps at the foot OF NarraganSett avenue
Thus the swimming was In plain view Of the
great crowds assembled Oh the beach and along
the cliffs. Capt. Webb wore bathing tights
and firm-fitting blue cap. Capt. Boyton was
dressed In his familiar rubber suit. The SWIM
mers kept at work steadily up to half-past 10
practically ended the race. Boyton had made
ten miles and Webb eight and a quarter, whe Ii
the latter was seized with violent cramps, rem
der1ng both legs pOwerless. He was taken
from the water by his trainer and put on board
the yacht Active, where he was properly cared
for, and thence brought to the city. Capt
Webb's trainer attributes the attack to the fact
of his not being acclimated. When Webb sue
cumDed the men had been IN the water seven
hours, ard the strong breeze which had been
blowing from the southwest made swimming
against the wind both slow and difficult. At six
O'Clock BOytOn had made 10 miles, and was
looking somewhat tired from the labor of the
day. At o'clock he had made his twentieth
mile, and was feeling his way along slowly He
finished his race at 1907 pm, making the 25
miles.
