A man by the name of Hayland
was run over and killed about
quarter of a mile north of Shenan-
doah, Va, (Milnes) by passenger train
No. 4, of the Shenandoah Valley rail
road, last Thursday night. The crew
of the train were not aware of the &C
cident until reaching Shepherdstown,
when conductor Walter Hutchings
received telegram from the train
master at Shenandoah. Upon exam
ination of the engine and running
gear of the train, splashes of blood,
pieces of flesh, clothing, &c, were
discovered. The engineer of the
train SAYS he did not see the man and
was surprised when told Of the acct
dent. Hayland was supposed to
have been beating his way north.

The corrected schedule of b. y ..
passenger trains stopping at Shenan-
doah Junction will be found on the

the usual variations in time, there are
other changes to be noted. The Gin

to arrive at 4.51 p. H., does not now
stop there; but the Pittsburg express,
from Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington, Will hereafter stop
at 11.2O a. IN. Twelve b. Il. o.

The trains from the south on the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad have

The Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company has purchased for 300

property opposite its freight depot
in Hagerstown. 1t is understood
that the railroad company will erect
on this lot large grain elevator and

A big deal between the Baltimore

new management has been negotiat-
ing with the representatives of these
Southern lines. The Baltimore and
Ohio people want to get rid of the
political element in the directory, and
the new parties seeking an interest III
the road propose to buy the 32,5OO
shares of common stock held by the
city. the / 800 held by Johns Hopkins
University and the States holdings.
Senator German and his political
colleagues in the directory will then
be retired. The impression prevails
that the city and State holdings will
be sold and the deal cOnsummated,
by which the Baltimore and Ohio will
be assured complete and closerSouth-

A Dasturdiy Act.

A few nights ago villainous at
temp was made to destroy the barn
of Mr.. James Randall, who lives in
Berkeley county. About ? o'clock
Mrs. Randall happened to be up to
attend to a sick person in the house,
when she saw a light at the barn.
Mr.. Randall and his sons ran out and
found that the barn had been set on
fire in two places and the straw stack
near by in another. By hard work
they managed to save the barn and
its contents from destruction, but the
straw was entirely consumed. It's a
great pity the rascal who did the
deed cannot be caught and punished
as he deserves.

Should Have a Big Time.

Should Have Big Time.
We are informed that it is the pur-
pose of a number of the prominent
citizens of this section of the county
to celebrate the completion of the
Shepherd Turnpike, which is now
promised will be finished some time in
June. Some such public recognition
of the generosity of Mr.. Shepherd in
this enterprise will be all right and
proper, and the arrangements there
for in efficient hands ought to be put
underway at once. If undertaken
we predict an immense gathering and
q big time generally.

THE SHEPHERD TURNPIKE.

From the inception of this enter
prise it has been conceded that it
would greatly improve the section of
country through which it passes.
But it is only as it approaches com
pletion that the practical benefits can
be more fully and accurately summed
up.
1t is now estimated by those who
should know, that when this magnifi-
cent roadway is finished it will add
to the value of the lands lying along
it, some of which have been hereto
fore rather unsaleable, at least $500
per acre, and command ready pur-
chasers at good prices.
At this rate tabular statement of
the increased, not aggregate, ralues
will show the following results:
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1890-05-16

In addition to this, there are several
adjacent tracts of land not enumer-
ted in the above which together can
be safely said to be indirectly en-
HANGED in value at least $1,000 more.
Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Shep-
herd has not only provided for the
free use of his neighbors and citizens
generally a roadway unsurpassed in
the Middle States for solidity of struct-
ure and beauty of finish, but that he
has also at the same time generously
donated TO the county a public i'm
provement that has actually increased
the taxable basis of lands IL its sec
ton alone upwards of $4,000.
