Death of F. j. Snyder, Esq. [.

Flavius Josephus Snyder died of
organic disease Of the heart
heart at the residence of his sister
in-law, Mrs Lucinda Snyder, three
miles west of Lewisburg, on Sat
urday, the 18th instant, aged "a
wears. Funeral services were held
at the Presbyterian church Sunday
afternoon, after which his body
was laid to rest in our town ceme-
terry.
Mr.. Snyder was a native of
Highland county, Virginia, and a
brother of Judge A. &. Snyder of
our town. He served during the
war as a member of the 3lst Vir-
ginia Infantry, c. S. A., and enjoy
ed reputation as one of the best
soldiers that went from Highland
county. After the war he attend
ed Washington College and then
took the law course at the Univer-
sity of Virginia. He nracticed his
profession here for some years,
married Miss Sallie Cary Of Lewis
burg, and then moved to Pocah1n-
tas county where he lived until
some time last year when, owing to
the condition OF his health, his
friends succeeded in getting him
into the Lee Camp Soldiers Home
at Richmond. Virginia. He was
on leave of absence from the
Home" at the time of his death
Mr.. Snyder possessed an acute and
discriminating mind, and had a
natural aptitude for legal studies,
which, but for the unfortunate hab-
it that doubtless FASTENED his
death, would have given him an
enviable place at the bar.-Green-
brier Independent.

Laying the Track Eastward.

What may be termed the second
stage in the construction Of the
Chesapeake and Western railroad
was begun on Monday and is now
fairly under way. Track-laying
was begun east Of Harrisonburg
and rapid progress is being made
toward the eastern section of the
county. Track was laid across the
Valley turnpike on Tuesday, and
the grading is in readiness for the
rails some distance east Of town.
A force of hands is at work OIL a
temporary bridge across the Shen-
andoah river at Elkton, and Col.
Machen assures us that they will
probably reach that point by Sat
urday night Of next week.
twenty-five carloads Of rails are
enroute from Pittsburg over the
Baltimore and Ohio road and are
expected here any day. ThisIs the
hrst SHIPMENT on a purchase VI
300 carloads to be delivered at this
point during the fail months. An
additional engine has been com
pleted by the Richmond Locomo-
tive and Machine Works to supple
ment the services Of the "F. W
Jackson" in the construction OF
the line.
Some of our exchanges are dis
cussing what will probably be the
eastern terminus of the road, but
so far the management seems tt
have kept that well-guarded Sc
cret. 1t appears sufficient for al
present purposes to know that tn
contemplated line of the road vii
constitute the shortest line between
Chicago and Tidewater, and als'
the shortest line from the center o
population to New York City,

our Washington letter;
The sensationallsts are at it
again, and with about as much
sfoundatiun for their stories as usu-
al. On SATURDAY.. Secretary Car
isle went to Marion, Massachu-
sets, where he spent several weeks
early in the summer. He didn't
tell the newspapers why he went.
Marion is known to be in the Vi
cinity of Gray Gables. That was
enough for the vendors of cheap
sensations. The wires were kept
hot with stories Of Secretary Car
Isle having been sent for By Presl-
dent Cleveland and all the details
of WHY and what he was wanted

Nobody seems to know just what
is going to be done about the su-
gar bounty. Secretary Carlisle no.
titled ex-senator Henderson, the
counsel for the beet sugar men,
that he would hear his arguments
against certifying the case to the
Court Of Claims, any time after
the twentieth of this month. Since
that time nothing has been heard
from Mr.. Henderson. Regardless
of any arsument that may be pre-
sented it is not likely that Secreta-
nv Carlisle will send the case TO the
Court Of Claims against the wishes
of the claimant. 1t has been stat
ed that he might override or re.
verse the decision of Comptroller
Bowler, but that is something
that Secretary Carlis | {
himself has positively statee
that he had no authority to do.
