Accidents,

Master Geo. Jordan, son of MI. Geo. q.
Jordan, ST., while out in the country hunt
ing, accidentally shot himself through the
hand with No. 80 pistol. The ball took
effect in the palm of the hand and came
out in the back of it, tearing the hand bad
ly. He was brought to town in a wagon,
and received the necessary surgical atten-
tion from DR.. A. nj. Henkel. He has
suffered much pain, but is now doing pretty
well.
VIM. Gains, colored, one Of the railroad
track hands ON the G. & 0. Ry., whilst at
tempting to get on the tender of the mate
rial train near Hebron church, had the
misfortune to slip and fall under the train.
The wheels of the tender ran over him,
crushing his left leg from the foot to the
knee, necessitating amputation in the thigh.
His right leg was broken and his knee joint
very badly injured. Drs. A. M. & FL. II.
Henkel, the Ry. surgeons, were sent for
and rendered the necessary surgical atten-
ton. He is still in a very precarious con-
dition and not much hopes of his recovery.

The Goshen City Stock Sold and the
Books Closed.

Yesterday afternoon, at the Office in this
city OF G. L. Cooke, the Secretary and
Treasurer Of the Company, the books of the
Goshen Land and Improvement Company
were closed-all the issue of $4,000 of
stock having been taken. The stock was
taken in the large cities of the Northern
and Western States, and generally through
out Virginia, including Richmond, Lynch
burg and other cities, while South Carolina
and North Carolina were large purchasers.
When the books closed yesterday afternoon,
there were applications for $4,000 more of
the issue, but it was too late. When it is
remembered that the stock was only put on
the market seven days ago, the meritorious
character Of the investment that brought
the demand for it can be better appreciated.
The investors at the North and West are
chiefly large capitalists, who are interested
In manufactures and look to making Goshen
manufacturing point. The managers of
the company are pushing their central idea
OF securing large industries for location
there, and are in active negotiation for them
"a work much facilitated by the fact that
many of their largest stockholders ale them
selves at the head of large plants at the

The 95th Annual Council.

The 95th Annual Council of the P. E.
Church of the Diocese of Virginia, COM
menced in st. Georges church, Fredericks-
burg, on Wednesday, presided over by
Bishop White. Col Jas. II. Skinner is
the lay delegate from Trinity parish. 1t is
composed Of 1876 white and Is colored
clergymen, representing 1855 parishes with
1860 communicates. 1t was in St.
Georges church that the present Assistant
Bishop Randolph began his ministry as an
assistant to Rev. DR.. Mcclure.
The only important question before the
Council will be that affecting colored cler-
gymen who are not already members of the
Council. The amendment to Article II of
the Constitution, which was finally adopted
at the last Council, and which had the effect
OF excluding colored ministers from the
legislative body of the church, except such
as were then entitled to seat in the same.
was confessedly imperfect, and another
amendment was Immediately offered to per.
feet its provisions. This will he pressed te
its final passage at this Council, but will
probably occasion little OF no debate.

RICHMOND, 18th May, 1890.
To the Children Of the Episcopal Church IN
Virginia
MY DEAR CHILDREN-Last January l wrote
letter and asked you to try and save money
enough, during the six weeks OF Lent, to sup
port one OF the evangelists or ministers who
preach to our many country congregations
who have no ministers of their own. thought
that would be calling on you for about as
much as you would be able to do. Your mite
boxes have now been opened, your money has
been sent to the treasurer and counted and
What What do ,, YOU think you have done? Why, not
only given money enoughfor the salary of one
EVANGELIST but more than enough to support
two ministers to dothat good work And now
| don't know how to tell you what think of
you OF how much pleasure you have given me
and all the ministers and members of our
Church. | wish l could take each one OF you
by the hand, (and would like to take you up
in my arms if you are not too blg,) and thank
YOU for doing, and bless God for putting it
into your dear little hearts to do, so much for
His cause You know the blessed Saviour has
said that, if you give even cup OF cold water
to any one for his sake, you shall have re-
ward. But just think, that for all next year
the ministers whom you support,-to, you
can't tell how many people and children.
When you remember this I hope you will be
glad for what you have done, and will look
forward with pleasure to another Lent for the
love of Christ to cOnStrain you to do still more
for his sake.
/ again thank every one of you and pray
that our heavenly Father may ever watch over
and take care of you, and never allow you to
want for any really good thing.
Your loving friend and Bishop,
FRANCIS NJ. WHITTLE.

conjunction with the adjoining land,

Important Change in Tolls on the Valley
Pike,

The Board Of Directors of the Valley
Turnpike at their Annual meeting in Har-
sonburg, made some important changes
Annual rates of every kind were dlscon-
tinued and each vehicle on the pikemu now
pay at the time of its passage. Some reduc-
lions in toll rates were made. For a one
horse four-wheeled vehicle the toll will be
seven cents instead of ten as heretofore:
and twelve cents for similar two-horse con-
veyances instead Of fifteen. For carts and
other two-wheeled vehicles the charge will
be five cents, The tolls for road teams and
travel on horseback remain unchanged.
The Directors adopted a system of free
passes on Sundays for the benefit of regu-
lar attendants at churches so situated as to
necessitate passing through a toll gate en-
route. These passes are to be obtained
from the Directors. They are good only
for the person and the gate specified on the
printed pass, and may be recalled at the
pleasure of the company. The revenue from
travel on the road is said to be yearly de-
creasing while there is no decrease in the
expenses of maintaining it in good condi-
ton

Shendun.

The Grottoes Company, the organization
and purposes of which we published few
days ago, has decided to call the name of
it's new city, at The Grottoes of the Shenan-
doah, sShendun, P" a name made from Shen,
the first syllable of Shenandoah, the name
of the river that flows for miles through
the city site, and "dun, y the Gaelic for city,
especially hill city, a word that enters into
the names of numerous cities and towns of
Great Britain and Ireland. Placing the
accent on the first syllable this makes a
pleasant sounding name. This name is
short and appropriate and can be easily
remembered.

Something That Ought To Be
Attended To.

On the books in the Clerk S office of the
County Court are hundreds of judgments
which have long ago been satisfied but
which have never been marked satisfied. :"
Time and death often put it out of the pow
Ell of debtors who have paid judgments, to
establish that fact, and it is not long since
gentleman Of this county had to pay a
large sum, solely, it is believed, because
judgments entered years ago and long since
paid had never been marked "satisied. In
his case the death of some Of the parties and
the absence of others in States where they
could not be located made it impossible to
establish the payment, and they had to be
paid over again. Men who pay judgments
should see that the payment is noted on the
legal record, and it would pay many a man
now who has paid judgments, to go to the
county court record and see if the payment
has been noted. 1t may save him and his
heirs trouble and loss.

Readings at the Y. NJ. C. A. Tonight.

The public will have an opportunity to-
night to hear at the Y. M. C. A.Hall, Capt.
William Page Carter, successful Virgin
iaelocutionist. Not only will they have good
elocution to entertain them but something
besides in seeing reproduced faithfully and
effectively a phase OF Virginia life which
will soon be only a tradition, so rapidly is it
passing away. Capt. Carter has commanded
large audiences in nearly all the Southern
States, and Staunton should not be behind
in her appreciation. The Baltimore Sam
speaking of his readings in that city says
"Capt VIM. Page Carter, an ex-Confeder-
ate of Virginia, read a number of pieces of his
own composition, dialect sketches, humorous
and pathetic selections, etc., last night at
Lehmann's Hall, before an audience which
filled about two-thirds of the room. He was
much applauded for the quaint, and yet ma
tural and entertaining, way in which he told
his short stories. He was very successful,
both in diction and delivery, in showing the
peculiarities of style and the original manner
by which the old time Southern colored mar
rator held his listeners
