An intelligent gentleman from
Eastern Virginia, who had just come
from spending two weeks at Honey
wood, thus spoke to the writer Of
this sketch, of Mr.. Colston in 1888. :
~ consider Edward ColstoL the
finest specimen Of country gentle-
man whom / have yet met in Virginia
His manners are courteous, polite
and dignified his conversation
highly instructive and interesting,
and his hospitality free and cordial,
without being oppressive He is
fond OF agriculture, history and
general literature. He has a noble
Inheritance and a magnificent libra
ry. He is loved by all his neigh
bors, for his kindness and char
tiles and they looked up to him AS a
friend, adviser and counsellor. He
has charming family and delight
full residence. What more need any
man want to ensure his happiness
in this world ?"
1t Is deeply to be regretted that
Mr.. Colston did not himself cherish
the views expressed by this intelli-
gent visitor. He was unhappily not
content with the rich blessings
which then surrounded him. The
activity of his mind led him to en-
gage in milling enterprises and
speculations. He became, in the
honesty and unsuspecting integrity
of his heart, the sport Of fortune,
and the victim Of accomplished vii
lians, and that "n0ble inheritance"
has thus passed from his widow and
children, to discharge forged obliga
tions and unfortunate speculations
in trade.

EDWARD CoLsToN was born at
Honeywood in the county Of Berke-
ley, in 1888. He graduated with dis
tinction at Princeton College, New
Jersey in 1905. He passed through
regular course Of legal studies,
municipal and international, with
no view TO the practice of the pro.
fession but to qualify himself for the
intelligent discharge of any public
duty which in Republic like this,
the people might devolve upon him.
He was an ardent Federalist, in
perfect accord with the predominant
sentiment Of this county. and as
young man Of talent and high prom
Use, was cordially welcomed as an
important accession to the party. At
twenty-five years of age he was cleo
ted a member of the House of Del
egates; and when but twenty nine
years old, elected a member of the
United States Congress from the
district composed of the counties of
Berkeley, Jefferson, Hampshire and
Hardy.
In June 1914, he was married to
Jane Marshall, daughter Of Charles
Marshall, of Fauquier county. She
died on the 9TH of March 1915, in
giving birth to a child, ten months
after marriage, and in the 2lst year
of her age. The papers of that day
are full of tributes to her many vir.
tues and enhancing lovliness. The
child was buried in the extraordinary
same grave with the mother.

in the 18th Congress list Monday of
December, 1917 he found himself

lucky and some of the Northern
States, its influence was not felt in
the county of Berkeley. We had
then no rail roads, telegraphs, or
telephones-few newspapers were
taken beyond the county, and out
side intelligence reached us slowly
through the weekly or semi weekly
numbering stage coach. An evil
dence of the total absence of party
feeling is found in the fact that in
April 1927, Edward Colston, FEEDER

Hunter, Democrat, and Jackson
man, were both elected to the House
OF Delegates without opposition, and
with the concurrence of all the voters
of the county.

mated painfully. He made some
speeches which gave him high repu-

habits of dissipation, under which
his system became disordered, and
he was attacked with a serious, and

He returned to Martinsburg in
bad health and died, after long and
painful illness, on the 4th of June,
1929, at the residence of his brother
inflow, Chancellor Tucker, in Win
chester, in the 39th year of his age.
There are some now living in this
county, who can recall with pleasure
the many occasions when they have

eloquence, powerful argument, brill
liant and irresistible flashes Of wit
and hunor that marked his profess
sional efforts.

Those Suits for DAMAGES.

Suits for damages against the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Company occu-
pied the time of the Jefferson County
Circuit Court the most of last week. The
case of w. F. Gille, of this city, who
brought suit for $4,000, was adjourned
over to the February term. In the action
of A. Muster, of the Second ward, non
suit was ordered by Judge Bennett, OF
the ground that the railway company
could not be held responsible for the act or
carelessness Of mail agent on the train.
This case is already somewhat familiar to
our readers and it involves some nice
questions of law as to where redress lies.
Muster is carpenter and for some years
was in the employ Of the Chiccgo, Mil
waukee & St. Paul Company. Last De-
cember while on the scafold repairing
building of the Company at Tunnel City,
ANAL agent threw a bag of mail against
one of the supports of the scaffOld, which
caused the scafold to tumble and Muster
was precipitated to the ground, the fall
breaking one of his legs and an arm. He
sued the sailroad company for $4,000.
The mail agent was not in the employ of
the railroad company, and threw the
mail bag in the discharge of his duties as
an employee of the United States Govern
ment. The question is then naturally
asked, is the mail agent personally re-
sponsible to the man he injured2 If he
is not then the query is pertinent is the
United States responsible and if so how
can Muster recover for the injuries he
sustained? Can he do it otherwise than
through an appeal to Congress for pay
ment of his claim? The plaintiff took
an appeal to the Supreme Court
Another action brought by Herman
Peschel of the Fourth ward, for the re-
covery of $4,000, damages on account of
injuries received in the employ of the
st. Paul company one year ago last Au-
gust at Platteville, resulted in a verdict
against the company for $10,5OO. Pes
chel when the accident occurred was as
sisting in the erection of wind mill, part
of the frame of which fell upon him,
breaking his leg and injuring his back
The railroad company have appealed the
case to the Supreme Court.

plaintiffs in these cases; J. W. Cary and

Our former distinguished townsman,

ing Post, of this city. Mr.. Schurz has
had a notable career since he fought as
revolutionist in Germany in I848.
heard him make his first speech here in
the Cooper Institute, but | cannot recall
whether it was in the Fremont campaign
or IN the Lincoln. Since that time he
has played many parts. He has been a
senator in Washington from two states.
He has been minister to Spain. He was
a general in the army during the rebel
lion. He has been editor of st. Louis
paper in the German tongue, and of a
New York paper in the English tongue.
He has been the friend Of two other cele-
brated Germans, Joseph Pulitzer aud
Henry Willard. He was a member of
poor Mr. HAYES Cabinet as secretary of
the Interior, where he was not wholly
admired by the Indians. He has recent
ly been a champion of civil service re-
form and he is now a member Of the
Bartholdi Pedestal Committee. [ hope
that after leaving the Post he will estab,
lish here paper of his own, under the
name of Carl Schurz's paper, and that
in it he will advocate the ultra Demo-
cratic principles he held in 1846."

Mr.. J. P. Webster, the musical composer,
was the author of the sentiment "Sweet

that now famous piece. There are no
two pieces of music printed in the Eng

versally popular as 'Home Sweet Home

with some pride we recognize the fact
that Mr.. Webster was a resident of our
own state and both of these men are
buried upon American soil. No epitaph
can speak their praises as eloquently as
the sentiments they left behind them. B.
