Painful accident to Mrs. Lester

Painful accident to Mrs. Lester
Last Thursday night about s O'Clock
Mrs. VIM. Lester, of the Third ward,
met with serious accident and narrow
ly escaped death. While walking to
wards home on the railroad track in COM
pany with her sister and little niece,
she fell from the Second street culvert
to the wagon road a distance of nearly
20 feet, sustaining painful injuries, her
right shoulder being broken, her back
severely hurt and her hip and thigh
badly bruised. The suffering lady
was conveyed to her home in a carriage
as soon as possible and her con-
dition under treatment of DIR. F. @.
Moulding rendered as comfortable as
could be expected. 1t appears that Mrs.
Lester and her sister imagined that an
engine standing near the Junction was
approaching them, and in their bewilder-
ment and excitement to get from the
track Mrs. Lester lost her footing with
the result as stated. The little niece
also had a narrow escape from being
badly hurt, her mother happening to
catch her just as she was falling. Mrs.
Lester is getting along quite favorably,
considering the extent of her injuries.

happened, and the audience did not even
know that the rider had been killed.
In the chariot race one Of the horses
driven by the lady chariot rider stumbled
and fell, tripping the other horses and
throwing some of them, and the chariot
was hurled up in the air almost over the

distance. She was picked up badly in

west virginia Farmers wmTateN Notice.

West virginia Farmers Will Take Notice.
II the farmers Of the country who own
worthless dogs, says the Breedsr3 GGaak,
could be induced to destroy them and sub
stitute one well.bred shepherd pup, not
more to each farm, the wealth Of every
farming community would be vastly in
creased in many ways. Farmers, with q
little tact in getting along with dog, would
soon find the colly saving them many
step. Eager and anxious 10 learn, willing
TO do everything within his power, the
young dog needs only wise and patient
restraint, IN intelligent direction, to be-
come the most useful hand on the place.
The colly Is an alert and discriminatiye
watchdog, answering for this purpose far
better than the heavy, sleeping, stupid,
savage bull or mastilf, who Is liable to
attack bis best friends or eat up child.
As colly acquires age and dignity, II he
has been well taught, he imagines that the
whole business OF the farm hinges upo9 the
performance OF his duties, and he becomes
as punctual and regular as the sun. ca.
nine companionship, II at liberty, has a
bad effect upon the Colly in most instances.
Where an old and wise dog is used TO tutor
youngsters by good example whileat work,
1t will do to have two or more together.
The duties Of the colly are practical and
mean work; companionship means play
and Is demoralizing. Especially is this
true OF companionship with hunting dog.
The shepherd dog has enormous percep-
tives, and is very initiative; he quickly
goes wild over game when led by "a hunting
dog, consequently neglects and shirks his
work. and is spoiled.

The Railroads ana thu West Virginia

A"t Nho "tst
Scnatorship.
Richmond Dispatch Of December I.
West Virginia has numerous sons who
are willing to serve her in the United States
Senate after the expiration OF the term OIL
Hon. II. G. Davis-that is, after the 4th OIL
March next. Kenna, Brannon, Bennett,
Wilson, Raymond, Woods, Brown, Math.
ews, Hereford, Hoge, Faulkner, Lucas, and
others, are numbered among the possible
successors OF Mr.. Davis. Several OF the
gentlemen named are well qualified to
grace seats in the United States Senate.
Kenna, though young man, has made a
good deal Of reputation in the National
House Of Representatives, Of which he is
now a member and to which he has been
returned for the Forty.eighth Congress.
But he is in no way superior to others we
could name OF the aspirants.
What have the railroads to say on the
subject? The Baltimore & Ohio Company
has long exercised a vast influence on
politics in West Virginia. The Chesa.
peake & Ohio Company has not been
charged with using its influence to SO great
an extent; but this company no doubt has
its preferences aud its objects, and may
also take a hand in deciding who shall
represent that State in the United States
Senate for the next six years.
