Railroad Notes.

It is stated that General Manager Hara-
han of the Chesapeake & Ohio road is to
have the field Of his duty extended over
the Bee Line Big Four roads. President
ingalls, of the G.. & O. will also have his
authority extended over the same field.
AS general manager of the Chesapeake &
Ohio, Mr.. Harahan gets $4,000 year
and it is supposed that his additional re-
sponsibility will yield him $4,000 more.
President Ingalls, combined salaries reach
$50, 000-almost as much as the President
of the United States.
The consolidation of the Vanderbilt inter-
est does not include the G. Il O. OF affect
it as a separate corporation. Oscar G.
Murray at present Freight Traffic Manager
of the G. & 0. and Big -Four, will sever that
connection to take the same position for the
consolidated Bee and Big -Four.

A Well Contented Corpse.

Some months ago MI. Howe of Indiana
came to Virginia with Rev. LESSEE Calvert,
a German Baptist, of whose congregation
he is member. Mr.. Howe was in bad
health, but a few weeks in Augusta improv-
ed him so much thathe determined to make
his visit months instead of weeks. He has
continued to improve and is now so robust
and fattened so much, that he has conclud-
ed to make his home here. While this was
going On in Virginia however, the rumOr
started at his old home that he had eX-
pressed his views too freely in Virginia, land
was shot dead for it. The rumOr got to be
general and Rev. Mr.. Calvert has several
times been asked at home if he is trying to
get more Indiana men to Ego down to Viz
ginia to be shot like Howe was" State Com
missioner of immigration, Charles Grattan,
thinks that on his next trip West he will get
MI. Howe to accompany him to serve as the
subject for this conundrum: eff the In
diana men killed in Virginia look as well as
Howe does, what must those look like that
the Virginians let live after they get
there ?''

Childrens' Day at Calvary Chapel.

[Repotted for the Staunton VINDICAToR.]
Last Sunday, the 10th inst, was observed
as children's day at Calvary Chapel with a
large cOncourse of people in attendance.
The seats were all filled and packed,
while the aisles and entrance were filled with
people standing. The. church was hand
somely decorated with wreaths of cedar and
beautiful flowers. AT one end of the stage
just in front of the pulpit was a most beau
tiful cross, about seven feet high, covered
with moss and running from the base up
was a large running rose just full of bloom.
On the top was crown covered with white
blossoms.
After the crowd had gathered, Dr.. Dodge
the Superintendent, and his many little fol-
lowers, went outside to form. They had not
been gone long when the choir struck mp
'sWhat a friend We have in Jesus" when
the little girls nicely dressed in white
marched in, two and two, closely followed by
the boys, while the young ladies of the
school brought up the rear. They were all
accommodated with seats in the front of the
church.
The exercises soon began, consisting of
recitations, dialogues, and singing of choice
selections, all well performed. l could not
help but notice the ease and graceful man.

so free from embarrassment OF excitement.
showing that there had been no pains
spared in making it well rehearsed enter
tainment.
The selections of music by the choir were
very appropriate for the occasion, and en-
joyed and complimented by all.
After the conclusion of the children s eX-
ercises, Rev. J. W. Wolf was requested to
address the crowd, which he did with many
encouraging words to the children.

Will Sustained.

The will of the late Hugh-G. Guthrie of
Augusta county, bequeathing about 81 600 to
the Board of Foreign Missions of the Pres
byterian church in the United States, was
sustained by the Court of Appeals at Wythe-
vile on Monday last. The will was con-
tested by John B. Guthrie of Louisiana, an
heir-at-law, on the ground that the benefic-
larry named was vague, uncertain and with
out legal existence. The Presbyterian
church in the United States is a legally in
corporated body, having been incorporated
in North Carolina, and the Commissioner
John M. Kinney, made a report holding
that as that was the case it's Board of
Foreign Missions also had well
defined status and legal existence
The Circuit Court Of Augusta overruled
the report of the Commissioner and decided
the will to be null and void. The Trustees
of the Presbyterian church in the United
States, took an appeal, and the Court of Ap-
peals as stated has decided in favor of the
validity of the will. The Court held pre-
cisely the same ground it took in the case
of the Dr.. Churchman will, devising prop.
erty to the Educational Society of the Prot.
estant Episcopal church of the United
States. 1t gave effect to the proven inten-
lions of the teStatOr

Serious Accident.

On Monday morning last, MI. Harper
Hartman drove from his farm to Reeves
Gait IS slaughter house to leave a calf there.
After doing so, he started with his light
wagon down the hill. 1t is supposed that
the seat broke, for he was thrown out and
fell ON his head on the rocky ground. The
side of his face which struck was badly
skinned, but the more serious hurt was the
effect of the conclusion ON the brain. HI
was unconscious and for a long time blood
flowed from the ears freely. Dr.. B. P. Reese
rendered the necessary aid. Later, DIR. H

Yesterday Mr.. Hartman S condition was
much improved and he is considered out Of
danger, unless unforeseen complications
should take place.

Over a Century and a Half Old.

Our correspondent 81. y sends the VIM
DICTATOR the following interesting item:
"We all like to hear of old things. There is a
house two miles southeast of Weyer's Cave
between South River and the Blue Ridge,
which was built by q man named Stull, one
of the first settlers of that section of the
Valley. This old man died in 1901. Twelve
years after his death 1S15) Daniel White
sell bought this property from Andrew
Stull son of the old man. The house was
regarded as being very old then. We can
safely say the house is about $50 years old
and has been in constant use; some addi-
lions and alterations have been made of
course.
s'The chimney Of the house is another
curiosity. 1t is built of stone and is II feet
wide and feet thick and built between two
rooms. 1t has fire place on one side feet
wide, 3 feet deep and feet high. There is
a curiosity in the chimney-a heater-eX-
tending three feet into the room opposite
the fireplace. 1t has been in use in its
present position 20 years, and is fed through
a corner of the large fireplace. This heater
was second-handed when put in. 1t is
plainly marked, 'Marlbro Furnace 1853.
The stove OIL heater is 121 years old
ssThe remaining members of Daniel
Whitesell's family are Miss Matte, the
Oldest, age rs, and Mrs. VIM. Burner, The
youngest, age 63-both living at this old
house. Some years ago Mrs. Burner found
near this house terrapin and on its shell
was cut, "a StuI, 1907 Tell us where

Street Railroad.

We learn that next week all the parties
to the conference between the City Council
representatives, and those from the parties
applying for street railway franchise, will
be in the city, and that the matter will be
discussed. We trust that both sides will
remember that street railroad is a great
benefit to city, and that it is a good sign
to the world of progress in city. There
cannot be a very wide difference between
six business men-and of such the two
committees are composed-in the matter,
and we trust the city will be willing to give
as liberal franchise as can be given con-
sistently with the rights of the people. In
this case we are dealing with our own cit
liens and can afford to be liberal.

Final Meeting Of the Shoe Factory
Shareholders.
THE OLD AMERICAN HOTEL PROPERTY
PURCHASED YESTERDAY FOR THE
FACTORY.

TILE OLD AMEhltaN 1OIEL IIOI En- i
PURCHASED YESTERDAY FOR THE
FACTORY.
The meeting of the shareholders in the
Staunton Shoe Factory, Tuesday night, was
an exceedingly gratifying one to all who
look to further manufacturing enterprises
in Staumton. Though it was merely q bust
ness meeting to adopt bylaws for the COM
pany and fix one Oh two salaries, there were
over hundred persons present and all
earnestly interested in the enterprise. The
salaries of the President and the Secretary
and Treasurer, it was decided, should not
exceed 81 900 for both; the bylaws were
adopted; the City Council asked for re-
mission of water and other taxes; the sum
of $25 voted A. G. Braxton, fol- legal ser
vices, and the meeting adjourned to the I'd
Tuesday of July, 1890, the regular annual
meeting day, hereafter.
Yesterday the Board of Directors met
and closed the purchase of the old American
Hotel property on the G. e O. Ry. for
$4,000, the owners taking $4,000 in money
and 5000 in stock in the company. 1t is
a most admirable location for the factory.
Yesterday, Mr.. Bradley, the Treasurer of
the Company, received a letter from Messrs.
Fitzgerald Il Lyon of Cumberland Gap,
Tenn, both residents Of staunton, now ell
gagged in railroad construction, They eX-
pressed great interest in the Shoe Factory
enterprise, and asked the price of shares, as
they wanted to invest in it. This patriotic
feeling on the part of Stauntonians abroad
is both creditable to them and encouraging
to Our people.

How They Advertised Century Ago.

A friend sends us the following advertise
ment OF Staunton property for sale, cut
from Winchester paper of the year 1889,
just century ago. 1t will be observed that
the reputation of Staunton for making use
of "a good deal of that commodity, !" was as
good hundred years ago as it is now:
rTO BE SOLD VERY CHEAP FOR READY
i CASH.-A beautiful improved lot in the
Town OF stanton. 1t would suit tradesman
very well; or distiller of rye spirits ALSO for two
good reasons The first is that good deal of that
commodity is made use of in them parts-the
second is a fine stream OF water running through
the lot, with beautiful descent from the upper
TO the lower part of the garden. A good wagon
and team will be taken in part, providing the
purchaser will deliver it in Union County, South
Carolina. For further particulars apply 10 the

Seeing the Country.

On Sunday night, about 8 o'clock, a car
rage came into the city on the Valley Pike.
1t had three lamps burning, and contained
two ladies', while outside on horseback were
two gentlemen riding. The party, which
consisted of Messrs. E. NJ and r. M.
Moore and their wives, of Rochester, n.
Y, drove to the Virginia Hotel. They had
adopted the right mode for seeing the beau
tiful scenery of the Valley, and on arriving
at it's entrance had left the railroad, had
hired a carriage, and taken it by easy
stages. On Monday evening they left fol

that it turns general attention to the ice

between the 10th and 18th of July. The de-
lay-a losing one to J. +. Tannehill & Co..

was that the first machine ordered was not
large enough and another had to be ordered
and the other was that the floods DELAYED
