BUENA VISTA, Aug 3Ist 1891.
Mrs. A. T. Gilkeson, of Staunton. who. with
her two daughters. are now spending q few
months with her son. MIR. VIM. H Gilkeson at
Culpeper Va, Will shortly make Buena Vista
her permanent home. Her other con, Mr.. II.
L. Gilkeson. has resided here for more than q
year. He is experimenting the erection Of q
superb residence for his mother In beautiful
portion of the town of Buena Vista, and as
soon as 1t is completed, Mrs. Gilkeson and her
daughters and her son here, will occupy 1t.
Like his brother William at Culpeper, Harry
Is also a hardware merchant. and both are
worthy sons in that branch Of mercantile pur-
suits Of their father. the late Mr.. A. T. Gilke-
son, 80 long identified with the trade OF Staun-
ton-and not only for that, but as we'll for their
social and business standing in their respect
i've communities. The Hardware house here
of Myers & Gilkeson, wholly conducted by the
latter, is a large and full establishment and
commands a fine trade. staunton may well
take pride in her young men who have settled
here. They are worthy of their training and
will always rehact honor on their first homo.
The Buena Vista Glass Works. according to
appointment. commenced operations today.
It is an elegant establishment. and was erected
with quick dispatch. and according to the au-
thority of the Pittsburgh Glassware Reporter
has a splendid outfit. SO far as your cores
pondent can form an opinion 1t is Gil that.
The Superintendent Of these works is Mr.. T
]. Irwin, formerly OF Pittsburgh, and the same
authority quoted above commended him for
superior qualifications. His movements here
attest all that has been said Of him. DR.. W.
n. Ruffner is President OF the Company.
As many of yorf readers may know, the
fields from which the sand Is obtained to run
the works are on the Norfolk and Western
Rail Road near Greenville. The special out
| put of the works is min eral water bot ties.
! MIR. Samuel A. Donald. of Augusta. WAS the
representative of tho Buena Vista promoters,
and to that gentleman. more than any iother,
Buena Vista Ia indebted for the existence of
the superb Glass Works.
A quarterly session OF the District Confer
ence, NJ. E. Church, South, converes here to-.
morrow. It will be largely attended and Will
| be the first asssmblage to convene in the large
| new brick church. which has been erected by
that denomination here. The ediice in arch
itectural design and excellence of aocommo-
dation is surely high credit to the Methodist
| OF Buena Vista.

Railroad Accident near Fsrrel satur
day.

On last Saturday about O'Clock P. M. the
freight train near Ferrol about IA miles West
OF Stauntou. 1t was caused in rather singu-
lar manner. At that place there is a track
from the main line of the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad to an ore wash about Il of mile on q
heavy grade. At this time there were four
loaded cars standing on this side track near
the junction. A freight train was hauling ore
from the wash. On this train were the Eng
ineer Walter Phillips. the fireman W. ]. Harris,
and A. ]. Ogg and William Jackson. When
this train was started on the down grade. the
engineer lost control OF 1t, sand 1t sped down
with accelerated velocity. Seeing that this
train would collide with the cars standing on
the track, Harris. Ogg. and jackson jumped
off, Will CHI resulted in the breaking OF Ogg's
left leg, and fracturing Jackson's left arm and
spraining his left ankle. Engineer Phillips
stood to his post endeavoring to check his
train and avoid collision, but In rain, for 1t
collided with the standing freight cars. which.
with his train, ran onto the main line OF the
Chesapeake q Ohio railroad. Shortly after the
Passenger train came on and ran into the
freight train. Fortunately, none Of the passen-
gers were injured. Two of the freight cars were
smashed. and the smoke.stack of the passenger
engine was knocked off. the pilot damaged,
the headlight broken, and the machinery of
the engine damaged. Drs. A. M: Henkel and
ton to Messrs. Ogg and Jackson.
