PAINFUL ACCIDENT TO DIR. T. W. SHELTON.
On last Saturday morning our streets were
covered with sleet, making 1t dangerous to
attempt to walk on the pavements About IL
O'Clock, DR.. T. W. Shelton. whilst carrying an
umbrella, stepped from the street to the pave.
ment at the store of Mr.. W H. Willgoss, in the
Hurley Building, At the corner of Main and
Lewis Streets, when he slipped and fell with
such force as to break his right arm above the
elbow and dislocate his right shoulder. 1t was
near the residence of DR.. A. M. Henkel, who
was soon present to render assistance. and the
arm was set and dislocation reduced by Drs.
A. NJ. and 81. II. Fenkel. These two wounds
cause, az matter of course much suffering,
butare not dangerous. and we hope it will not
be long before the Doctor will be able TO go
about again. DIR. 8. Is an unusally tall man
and large In proportion. and, consequently, in
such fall would strike the bard pavement
with greater force than man of less height
and weight.
On the afternoon of the same day, Senator
David F. Houston, of Roanoke City. fell on the
icy pavement in Lancaster. Pa, ruptured a
blood vessel, and died in a few minutes. He
was on his return from visit to In
dianapolis, whit Their he had gone to see Gen.
Harrison. He was the Chairman of the State
Committee OF the Wise or anti.Mahonc Re-
publican party In this State.

The construction of this road W ould add
many more to the opportunities of this city In
material development. Apart from those
which can be named, in which, iron coal and

public want in the wonderful stimulus that
would be given the agricultural interests of a
vide and rich section of Augusta county and
other counties 1t would traverse the only dis
triut of Augusta that has not now railroad adj
vantages. and from observation and expe-
rience the people of that portion of the county
can intelligently estimate the extent to which
IL would confer large benefits upon them.
