WAYNEsBoRO, VA, Sept. 30.
Yonr readers In this vicinity are glad to
see you agitating the question of local -passen-
ger traffic via rail between your city and
points East. The schedules as at present ar.
ranged ARE of no benefit or convenience what
ever. to the citizens of this section of the coup
ty. in providing means Of transportation to
their county seat. 1t is impossible for any
to go to Staunton from Waynesboro or
Basic, by rail and return the same day With
a population of easily fifteen hundred or
more, the citizens Of these two towns and the
thickly populated vicinity are compelled if
DESTROYS OF going to your city, to travel by
private conveyance in view the entire distance
nearly, of first class railway track with no
means of availing of the same. The days of
Ficklin Il Harman's fast stage coaches of for
ty years ago, would be luxury now to our
people. The railroad people in their liberal
consideration of the travelling public. have
4 ,nerOusly provided "caboose,' on a local
freight. which passes Waynesboro at any
hour from a. nj. to y NJ and reaches Staun-
ton, barring accidents, lay outs, etc in cou-
pie OF hours, possibly, often affording time
only to secure return ticket to the flying
visitor. This inviting vehicle, reeking, with
malodorous scents. filed with grease pots,
car coupling .drawb bars, hunks. and other bl ic-
a-brac, is specimen of the Accommodations
supplied by the "Scenic Route of America"
to Its local patrons to and from their ooun-
ty seat. In striking contrast to these meth
DDS. the b. & o. provide special court day
trains both North and South, to Staunton.
which as is we'll known, are largely patroniz-

The meeting Of the Democratic State
Central Committee at Richmond, Thurs
day. was noteworthy for two things; the
full attendance Of its members and the
good reports they gave from their sections
OF the State. All the Democratic members
OF congress, who had also been invited, were
present except those from the 9Th and
9Th districts. One OF the prominent SUBJ
jects reported on was the Walton law.
Congressman Jones of the First district,
SAID his people were entirely satisfied with
the Walton bill; the Republicans had been
inclined at first to denounce it. but as they
found that the Democrats had done no
better under 1t than they had done before,
they had realized this and were better sat
isfied. In the Fourth, MI. Mckinney said
his people found no fault with the Walton
law, and if it was amended at all, hoped it
would be done only III immaterial points.
Mr. Otey said some good speakers were
needed in the Sixth district. MI. Turner
of the Seventh said he thought the Walton
law had lost some votes to the Democrats
in the Valley counties. The Eighth was
reported by MI. Marbury of Alexandria,
as in good condition. Of the Tenth MI.
Tucker reported THAT the tone and
temper Of the party in his section was
very bright. 1t was great deal better
than it was last fall. Not a senatorial
district in the Tenth would he lost, so far
as his information went. Reinhart of
Allegheny, would certainly be elected.
There was some opposition to the Walton
law, but this was indefinite opposition,
which had not as yet taken any shape OF in
any way crystallized. Senator Echols of
Augusta, said the Democrats would win in
the Valley, and that the people OF his coun-
ty were in as good shape as usual for the
fight. There was some opposition among
them to the Walton law. MI. Elicit of
the Third district reported "There was
division of sentiment upon the election
law, but large majority of the voters
were in favor of 1t, or, at most, of only
making very immateriel amendments to
it.'
The whole tenor of the information at
the conference was exceedingly gratifying,
and showed that the people at home were
not at all deceived as to the purpose OF the
so-called "honest election" movement.

Gen. VIM. Malone, who was stopping
at the Chamberlain in Washington, had
been up to Sunday night in better health
than he had ever enjoyed. He weighed
thirty pounds more than he had weighed in
his life before, and YVES withal in excellent
spirits. He retired about midnight and
when his son Butler, called at his room
next morning he found him paralyzed, on
the entire right side and speeches.. His
wife was at once telegraphed for. AS the
General is in his Goth year, the worst is
feared. Up to yesterday morning Gen.
Malone remained in very much the con-
dition that he was found Monday morning.

PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO

The Richmond Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, of which DR..
Jud. B. Wood is the President, seems to
be doing good work. Their report for
1894 shows that in that year their agent
investigated 613 cases, of which rs cases
were lame Oh CALLED horses, and mercifully
killed 159 animals. They secured twenty
convictions for cruelty and the punishment
of the perpetrators. No man can read a
list of the cases reported without being
convinced that the object of the society is
above all things praiseworthy. 1t is hard
to believe that such perpetrators of cruelty
as they reported can exist OH earth. There
is no sin on earth SO absolutely without
excuse, provocation, OF temptation, as
cruelty to animals. and it is well put under
the head of fiendish. None but human
b.ntes perpetrate 1t. We wish the Rich
mond society well in its good work, and
wish that We could hear more of the work
of the similar society in Stanton.

PASSING NEWS OF THE DAY.

Near Bridgeport Conn.,, few days ago,
Mrs. Mary Walters while eating a pear
swallowed hornet that had alighted on
the fruit. In going down her throat the
insect stung her on the tOnsil. Great pain
followed and the throat WAS soon so mnch
swollen that the woman could not swallow.
Later she lost power of speech. The swell

mede by Mrs. Walters to talk have proved
futile and the doctors fear she will never be
able to use her voice again.

were grandsons of the Bishop and the
third, Rev. William Lee, his godson.
