Three Accidents.

IWtt NCCJUeHlSI
A week or two ago, while working
at an old fence row, Mr.. William
Myers. who lives about two miles
south of town, stepped on a nail,
which ran clean through his foot.
1t caused an extremely painful wound,
and it has only been by successful
doctoring that Mr.. Myers is able to
get about little once more.
While Mr. John Kcplinger was rid
ing horse one day last week the
animal stumbled and fell down. Mr..
Keplinger was thrown over the
horses head and was pretty severely
shaken up. He is all right again,
though, barring little stiffness.
The Berryville Courier says that "A
man named VIM. Nicely arrived at
Shenandoah Junction last week in a
crippled condition, having fallen
from train on the Shenandoah Val
lev Railroad through the trestling
near Mines. His right arm was
broken and spine injured by the fall,
and in this condition he laid nearly
all night where he fell. 1t is sup
posed that he was stealing a ride on
the train, as he was not an employee
of the railway company. He was
from Cumberland, Md.

entered into a contract, in which Mr..

Mr.. Wilt got the money. While

Never fool in business matters.
Learn to think and act for yourself
Do not kick every one in your path
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Don't stop to tell stories in business

AnnLes Will be Scarce.

This weeks New England Home
stead says Apples will be scarcer
and more costly this season than for
many u year. There is but half a
crop of winter fruit in the famous
Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, and
still greater reduction in the apple
belt of Southern and Western Onta-
rio and Michigan along the lakes. In
Maine and limited sections of Yer
mont and New Hampshire, there is a
fair yield of apples, being the best in
Maine. Through Southern New En-
gland, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and the interior States gener-
ally, the promise of winter fruit is
worse than ever before known. The
apple belt of Western New York,
along lakes Ontario and Erie, which
in good seasons ship much more than
one million barrels to New York or
foreign markets, has almost no crop
whatever this year

are pleased about, for they hate to

The directors of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company have
increased the salary Of President Nc
Leod to $4,000 year, and they say
he is we'll worth it. Only one railroad
president gets more than Mr.. Mcleod
Chauncey NJ. Depew, of the New York

All the tracks in the B. &. o. yards
at Hagerstown were changed last
Sunday, so as to conform with the
new depot arrangements made there.
1t was big days work for fifty men.
1t is rumored that the b. & o., the
Western Maryland and the Reading
Railroads will keep an eye on the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad when it
is sold on the 30th. 1t would be use
full to all of them as a Southern con-
nection.
The station on the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad formerly known as
Sands has had its name changed to

1t is privately reported in railroad
circles in this city that the Richmond
and Danville Railroad Company has
completed arrangements for the pur-
chase of the Shenandoah Valley Rail
road which road is TO be sold at pub
lie auction at Roanoke on the Both
inst. 1t has heretofore been general
ly understood that the Shenandoah
Valley Road would be purchased
either by the Norfolk and Western
or the Chesapeake and Ohio, but to
secure control of the Valley trade
and to make Southwest connections
it is said that the r. and d. people
have determined to secure the road,
and have made the necessary arrange
ments for so doing. 1t is reported
that a prominent r. and d. official is
in Washington to see if Congress in
tends giving some other railroad an
outlet into Virginia over the city
water front, such a proposition now
being before Congress in the shape of
bill to acquire a right of way into
the city and to connect with the
Pennsylvania track near Long
