A Rock Placed ON the Railroad
Track.


On Sunday, man walking down
the track OF the West Chester &
Philadelphia Railroad below Hemp
hills station observed a large
boulder on one of the rails. 1t was
near the time for the train which is
due at West Chester at 4:30 to come
along. The man seeing the danger
GUS situation which number of lives
would be in lifted the huge stone off
the rails. The stone was put on the
track, on purpose, and did not roll
down off an embankment, because
there was no high place near. This
is about the tenth time large stones
have been lifted off the track at the
same place about the time when q
tram was due. Its pity the guilty
party cannot be found out and
brought to justce.-Rscord.

The American Institute of Mining
Engineers.

This distinguished body commenced its
spring session in the Opera House on Mon
day last. The membership comprises some of
most eminent scientists of the day, men who
are daily benefting their race and adding to
the wealth of their country. They visit Vir-
pinia, many of them for the first time, to in
quire into the rich mineral deposits with
which the old State abounds, the fame of
which is penetrating to remote sections. We
greet them as "men of science and action as
the heralds Of progress" whose labors are des-
tined to give new life and activity to our
State and section. Virginia needs just such
men these, men of brain, of knowledge, OF
judgment and of enterprise. Nature has be-
slowed her bounty with lavish hand, but her
secrets are not revealed to the eye of the inlet
tered. These interpreters must unraYel her
mysteries and point out the hidden places OF
her sleeping wealth. And we welcome them
for a better and higher reason. Whilst here
in our midst many of them have mingled free
ly with our citizens. and the intercourse, we
trust will date the commencement of friend
ships long and intimate We want these gen
tlemen to know our people, as well as the
country they inhabit We want them to know
that Virginia's treasures are not all hidden be
meath her soil-that along with other posses
sions she has the Roman jewels-sons and
daughters of whom any country and any race
might well feel proud.

Re-AdjuSter Convention.

The Re adjusters of Virginia will meet to-
day through their authorized delegates in State
Convention in Richmond to nominate candi
dates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and
Attorney General Various speculations have
been INDUCED as to the result but we presume
no one is wise enough to foretell the final ac-
ton. One statement is that Col. Cameron
will be nominated on the first ballot Another
surmse is that Mr.. Massey will be the strong
est man before the Convention and if not sue
cessful on the first trial of strength, he will
eventually come out victorious. Another is
that the adherence of the friends of each Of
the more prominently named candidates for
promise will have to be effected on Capt
Rlddleberger Another is that Capt Paul has
already been determined on as the most avail
able man, and that Gen. Groner for Lieut.
Governor, and Mr.. Blackwell of Lynchburg,
we believe, for Attorney General will be
placed on the ticket with him.
These are all surmises. 1t is evident from
the published proceedings of the county meet
ings that Cameron and Massey will have the
largest following among the delegates, but
whether strong enough, in either case, to effect
a nomination cannot be determined before a
test vote.
The name of Hon j. F. Lewis has been
suggested for the position of Lieutenant G ov-
ernor.on the ticket with Col. Cameron We
have no thought that Mr., Lewis will allow
any such use of his name He is Republ-
can, and has sagacity enough to see that it
will be very ill-advised policy for the Re-
publicans to have anything to do with the
formation of Democratic ticket whether Re-
adjuster or Funder. The aim will be to cap
ture Republican votes, and it Is with that
view that Mr.. Lewis has been mentioned in
the connection stated. The Republicans will
have policy of their OWE, to be determined
by convention of the party, and until such
action is taken, it would be very unwise
to propose or countenance any complica-
tons.
When the Convention of to-day has COM
pletcd its work and adjourned, the canvass
will be fairly opened. The Funders, it is
true, will not hold their convention until the
4th of August, and the Republicans have not
as yet designated time and place for the as
sembling Of their representative body, but rs
the Re=adjusters will enter the field actively,
it will force the Funders to meet them and
dispute every inch of ground. The Republi-
cans may bide their time, and be governed
by the action of the authorities of the party,

were cast for Messrs. Jacobs and Herman. All
