The trainmen of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad have recently had
their pay increased and their wages
generally adjusted on a much more
equitable basis. They are to be PAID
as heretofore, so much per trip,
counting as trip the run from
Mines either to Hagerstown and
Roanoke or vice versa. The pay per
trip has been increased some, but,
what is much more important, the
men will also receive pay for over
time when more than twelve hours is
consumed in making the run. When
for various reasons over which they
have no control they are compelled
to lie along the road on side-tracks
and consume from fifteen to twenty
hours in making trip, they will get
paid for it. As may be imagined,
the boys are very cheerful over the
increase.
Conductor Alex. Bennett says the
increase comes just in time for him

to provide for
It has been decided to change the
road now under construction from
Weston to Braxton Court House to a
broad gauge. This will make a

The Norfolk and Western railroad
company has given consolidated
mortgage deed on their road to the

of this mortgage is to pay of the

to build IA double track and to extend
the road into North Carolina and
Kentucky. The deed has been adj
mitted to record in the office of the
clerk of the corporation court OF
Petersburg, Va, and covers seventy
five pages of printed matter.
No. 2 passenger train on the Shen-
andoah Valley Railroad has been on

The Pennsylvania Railroad is now
running the most magnificent trains
ever constructed. They have the lux

hotels. But it costs money to ride on
them.

A brand new platform is being

Verdict Rendered.

At the present term OF the circuit
court of Washington county in Ha-
gerstown Henry Martin, colored,
brought suit against the Receiver of
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad for
500 damages for forcible election
from the train. The jury, after being
out over night, brought in verdict
for the plaintiff for 800. H. II.
Keedy and Alex. r. Hagner for plain
tiff; w. H Travers, of Charlestown,
and H. Kyd Douglas for defendant.
We understand that while the defen-
dant is satisfied with the verdict as to
the amount, the case will probably be
taken to the Court of Appeals to have
the important questions of law raised
during the trial determined, as the
case is a novel one and without pre-
cedent in the State of Maryland.
Martin is the individual who was
tried in this same court about year
ago for an assault on Conductor
Frank Cord in July, 1888, and acquit-
ted. His suit for damages was in con-
nection with the same affair.

The Sharpsburg correspondent the
Keedysville Warelst writes: "Messrs.
Aaron and Adam Snowman, living on
Mr.. Samuel l. Piper's farm, have
been annoyed number of times this
fall by some disguised persons who
stoned the house and frightened the
women. While Mr.. Snowman was In
town last Saturday and the other men
were at work in the cornfield, six dis
guised men surrounded the house.
The women rang the bell and the
hands came in from the field, but
about the time they got to the house
the miscreants left, going up the ca
nal. When Mr.. Snowman returned
home and learned what had happen
ed, he came to town and telephoned
to the State Attorney for protection.
The sheriff came down, but so far has
not been able to find the guilty par
ties"
We have since learned that the I'M
known prosecutors paid another visit
one night last week and that they
were shot at by the occupants of the
house, with the success, it is believed,
of hitting one of the men. This may
have the effect of putting an end to
their unwelcome visits.
