Junnpad for His Life.


MIR. JAMES A. FRAZIER, OF ROCKBRIDGE,
PAINFULLY INJURED.
A special telegram to the Richmond
Dispatch from Rockbridge Alum Springs
says:
''Mr James A. Frazier, of this place,
met with an accident here this morning,
by which he was badly though not dan
ing ice for the hotel from the flat cars on
the narrow gauge road The rear car
had been emptied, and Mr.. Frazier de-
sired to have it moved back so that the
next car could be placed in a more adj
vantageous position for delivering the
Ice. There was some remonstrance made
to this on account of the heavy grade.
Mr.. Frazier, in his impetuous energy,
boarded the car and having it uncoupled
seized the brake
The liberated car dashed away down
the steep grade, and Mr. Frazier fearing
he was powerless to stop it jumped for
his life. Unfortunately he did not jump
with the car and he was thrown violent
ly upon some heavy timbers. For a mo-
ment it was thought he had been killed.
Drs. Chancellor and Flanagan were
soon at his side, however, and ascertain
ed his injuries to be a bad fracture of the
right arm three inches above the wrist, a
deep cash three inches long just above
the right eye, and very severe bruise
on the right leg He is resting comfort
ably to-day and while he will be laid up
for some weeks, he is to be congratulated
that he escaped with his life. Mrs. Fra
zier, who is at Warm Springs, was tele-
grabbed for.
The runaway car dashed down the
heavy grade at lightning speed. 1t is
estimated a velocity of eighty miles an
hour was attained before it reached the
upgrade, two miles from here. At the
junction of the Victoria road it jumped
the track, and strange to say, it stands
there apparently uninjured.
A boy who was on the car made sue
cessful leap at the time Mr.. Frazier
jumped and came off unhurt.

An interesting Case.

Monday last the Hastings Court cham

and Others interested in the issue of q
suit by real estate agent of the city tC

W. j. Perry is real estate agent. do
ing business at No. 2, LAWYERS Row
fronting on Court House Alley, and i'm
mediately under the drippings of the
temple of justice. On the 18th day OF
September, 1889, Mr.. Thos. Wholey, a
well-known resident and property owner
of the city, went to the Office of w. J.
Perry and executed the following mem
oranda of agreement
Sept. 49, 1889.
hereby put the following property in
the hands of VIM. J. Perry for sale A
certain house and lot on W. Main street
Staunton, between property of S. M.
Wilkes and Mrs Julia Hurley having a
frontage of between IS and 70 feet, more
or less, and running back 176 feet, more
or less.
For the sum of eight thousand dollars,
s., 900. 90 or "a, 0000 90 down. balance three
or four years with interest.
lClSueu AOMAS w HOLLY.
In May, 1890, Perry sold the property
at the price and upon the terms named
in the above memoranda
The question at issue was whether the
above paper was a contract of such bind
ing character as neither to be altered nor
set aside by parole" evidence; and
whether Perry was entitled to recover his
commission for the sale of the property
out of the amount named in the memo
randa, viz, $4,000. Parole testimony
was admitted to show the character of
the transaction, and to prove the I'M
written claw of custom" as holding in
dealings in real estate. The case was
argued for Mr.. Wholey by Capt. James
Bumgardner, who made gallant fight
for his client; and for Mr.. Perry, by
Maj. T. G. Elder, who seemed to have
plain sailing before the law and facts in
the case. The jury was out 10 minutes
and returned verdict for the plaintiff
perry, fixing his damages at 1926 (the
commission charged) with interest from
day of sale.
This establishes the law for real estate
agents in Staunton, and declares that
''the workman is worthy of his hire"

The Late Convention.

Mt. SIDNEY, July Fl, 1880.
Editor Valley Virginidn:-I see in the last VIR-
GINIAN, of the nth inst, at the conclusion OF
your report of the convention held in Staunton
on the 18th, notes commenting upon the dele
gates from Spring Hill, Mt. Sidney and Centre
vile, that you have charged some of the dele
gates of these places of proving recreant to
the trust conf1ded in them at the primaries that
sent them to Staunton on the 18th, and knowing
your desire for fairness, l feel assured you will
make the correction so far as Mt Sidney is con
cerned. This is due to the public, as well as my
self.
You say, Had the delegates from Spring
Hill, Mt. Sidney and Centreville voted as in
structed by their constituents, the vote would
have been: for Craig, 2S; for Beard, Is"
Now the fact in the matter is, there were nc
instructions given at Mt. Sidney; and | VIII
give the proceedings of the meeting to prove it,
E. L. Houff one of the precinct committeemen
OF this precinct, called the meeting to order
read the CALL and explained the object OF the
meeDing, next in order being the election OF
permanent chairman. Mr.. HouH was put i'll
nomination and elected to that position. He
proceeded at once to the election OF delegates
to the Staunton convention, and committeeman
for this precinct Nothing whatever having
been said in reference to any individual man as
county chairman up to this time. The election
having been cOnSummated, Mr.. VIM. r. Landes
one of the delegates elect, rose and presented a
printed resolution, prefaced bya long preamble
instructing the delegates OF this precinct to
vote for new men for chairmen. At this juno
ture the chair, calling Mr.. Landes to take his
place, attacked the resolution with such
vehemence that Mr.. landes withdrew it with
out putting it to vote And am satisfied had
Mr. Houff at the conclusion of his remarks, Of
fered substitute to Mr.. Landes' motion, in
structng the delegates Of this meeting to cast
their votes for VIM. E. Craig, that the substi-
tute would have been carried.
Thus you and the public will see that have
betrayed no trust confided in me- Had MI. Ian
des' motion been carried or any instructions
been given by my constituents, l would have
felt honor-bound to carry them out, and would
have done so, or declined acting as their dele
gate You have the facts before you, and | leave
the matter for the public to decide.
Respectfully, CHARLES Il. SHUMAKE.

Messrs. w. X. Landes and s. M. Wood,
delegates to the Republican county con-

the precinct meeting gave instructions
to vote for a new county chairman
They voted that way in the convention
and consequently the reference to Mt

as it may have been to others.

Honors Won.

Miss Mamie Pritchard, daughter of
Mr.. John T. Pritchard, has within the
short space of thirty days won three
honorable distinctions. At the close of
the late session of the Virginia Female
Institute, she won the gold medal for
general excellence and scholarship. At
the examination for candidates for pub
lie school teachers, held in Staunton a
few days since, she won a first grade
certificate and about the same time
went to Richmond and won first grade
certificate there. Miss Pritchard had to
pass a first-class examination in every
particular to win these distinctions. We
are informed by the Superintendent of
City Public Schools, that 1t is some
thing very rare for a candidate to re-
cieive first grade certificate at her first
examination. 1t is very distinguished
honor that Miss Pritchard received two
first grade certificates at two of the most
rigid examinations in the State within
a few days of each other, and after hav-
ing just passed through laborious
course of study of nine months.
Miss Pritchard is native of Staunton.
She is beautiful type of blonde; mod
est and retiring, and has won these
several honors upon her own merit. She
will wear them worthily.

Street Railway.

The reporter of the VIRGINIAN, said
to Mr.. Apperson: I've been often asked
if your cars are to be bobtailed. How
about it? What is bob-tailed car?
Why car with only one platform, ON
which the driver stands. Well mine are
not to be bob tails. Will your cars have
two platforms? They will and will be
as handsome as any cars in the U. S.
When will they be running? The cars
will be shipped on the 23d from St. Louis,
and will be here the 25th, think. You
will be ready then by the 1st of August?
Yes, think so. Is your work progress
ing satisfactorily Yes, entirely SO.
There is no time lost in doing the work
on the street lines.
Mr.. Apperson, and This assistants, are
always at their posts, and the work is
being rushed along. 1t is being well
done too; of course there are many
places to be righted up, but all will be
done and well done when the line is
completed, to make it entirely satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Apperson has proved to be
the right man in the right place, and
we have been fortunate in having him
in charge of the work There has been as
little inconvenience on the streets as
was compatible with the character of
the work.

Death of Capt. Jno. s. Byers.

Our community was greatly shocked
Sunday last at the report of the death,
by accident, of Capt. Jno. s. Byers, who
is well-known by all our people. Capt.
Byers had been living for some time with
Mr.. Marsh Byers. Saturday last he was
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Eakle.
Capt. Byers, Mrs. Eakle, and her little
boy rode over to Mrs. Robt. Patterson's,
another daughter of Capt. Byers'. Late
In the evening they started back to Mrs
Eakle's. Mrs. Eakle and the little boy
were seated in the wagon, and Capt.
Byers was standing up in the front part,
when sudden jerk of the horse threw
him out head foremost. The horse be-
came frightened and ran off. Capt By
ers' feet were caught in the wagon and
his head rested on the ground. In this
position he was dragged long distance,
and when rescued from his perilous po-
sition, it was found that the back of his
head was badly crushed and his back
terribly lascerated. He lived only 20
minutes after the accident. Mrs. Eakle
JuLpcu 1TOuI UIlc wagon anu WIS uOU
hurt. The little boy staid in the wagon
and he too escaped. The last words
Capt. Byers was heard to speak were ::
"My little boy hold fast to the seat.''-
DR.. Everett Eakle was called in, but his
patient was beyond the physicians skill.
Capt. Byers leaves four children, two
sons and two daughters, all of whom are
grown. He was 70 years old last April.
His health had not been good for several
years, and he had not been actively en-
gagged in business. He was very fond of
fine horses, and great part of his life
had been employed in handling them as
a business. Capt. Byers was a large
hearted, kind and generous man. His
host of friends mourn their loss, and ex
tend to his family their tenderest SYM
pathies.
