Runaway.-On Tuesday when train
No. ) was near Everts tunnel, one Of the
pipes burst, making the air-brakes useless.
The hand-brakes were put on, when some
of them broke, and the train plunged
down the grade at Il fearful rate of speed.
One of the brakemcn declares that he
knows that ut times the trucks jumped 10
inches above the tracks. We doubt if
there has been in this section for five
years past worse scared set of men than
those on that train. The distance from
the tunnel TO Piedmont is five miles, anu
there are very many sharp curves. For
tunately the train kept on the track, anu
came safe into acknowledged Echo.

Spring Timc.Tablcs.-The shen.

spring 1iIhes AaDtcS.-Ine Shen-
andoah Valley Railroad will change its
present schedule of trains, we arc inform
ed, OH or about Tuesday next, the 10Th
instant, and if our information is correct
the new timetable will not he much of an
improvement on the old. The train which
leaves Shephcrdstown at p. IN. will be
changed to about a. m, but as the hour
does not suit the Western Maryland Rail-
road, no connection will be made for Bal
timore. The Hagerstown Mail says that
President Hood urged them to bring it in
at s o'clock so us to connect with the reg
ular mail train from 1IagerstOwn, but he
was assured that owing to southern con-
nections it is impossible. The mail, which
is the best paying train OH the road, has
to leave 1Iagerstown not later than s
O'Clock. 1t would therefore be manifestly
Improbable to run third train out ut 8.
The failure to make connection with Bal
timore by this train will be generally re-
GREETED by citizens along the line of the
Shenandoah Valley. The only other close
connection possible will be with the train
from the South which reaches lIagel stown
ut OPP. IN. 1t is said that there will be Il
train from there to Baltimore at that hour,
but such connection, even if it is made,
would not be near so satisfactory rs the
other. Another change will be that the
train which arrives here now at 1852 p. III.
will, under the new table, arrive about
2.4O p. m., leaving Baltimore between 10
and II 4. IN.

learn that at the adjourned meeting of
Winchester Presby terry, held at keyscr
last week for the purpose of investigating
certain charges made by two OF the elders
of Mt. Hope Church against the pastor,
Rev. j. NJ. Clymer, he was unanimously
acquitted of all the charges, except speci-
iication first, under the charge of plagiar-
ism, in words that he had, on the 18th of
February, 1888, preached sermon taken
from the Uomilectic Monthly rs his own.
To this specification he acknowledged
having used part of the article in said
monthly in preparation of his sermon,
when, owing to illness, of members of his
family, he had not time to prepare one in
full. The evidence in the case proved
nothing more, and the decision of the
Presbytcry OH this point was 'guilty in
the sense of having make an unwise
though not criminal use of said Sermon"
4 resolution affirming the full confidence
OF the Pres vtery in Rev. Mr.. Clymer as
Il minister was unanimously adopted, and
he was restored to the full confidence of
his people. Rev. Mr.. Clymer is native
of this county, and is well and favorably
known here, and his friends rejoice that
he has thus been acquitted of the charges
brought against him by those whose duty
it was to hold up his hands, instead of
trying to prosecute and injure him. The
elders against whom charges had been
preferred for failure in the discharge Of
their official duties and covenantcd obli-
cations, were discharged by the Presby-
tery for the want of jurisdiction to try the
