A Hospital at Last.

Every one will be delighted to know that
through the energy of the Kings Daugh-
tiers and the cooperation of the physicians
of the city Hospital will be opened here
on OIL before September LIST. 1t will begin in
a small way, but it will be an open hospi-
tai. The ladies have secured one of the
Bagby flats opposite Trinity church, the
rooms Of which furnish every facility for
beds, cooking. operating room and dis
pensary.
The committee who have in charge the
furnishing of the room, is composed Of Mrs.
Geo. +. Wilson, Mrs. r. M. Guy, Mrs.
Heber Ker, Mrs. A. M. Henkel and Misses
Nellie Miller and Sue Martin.
What is wanted of the generous public
now, is to help fitting out the rooms. The
ladies want three iron beds; three mat
tresses and blankets for the same. They
want contributions Of provisions, and they
want anything that would be of use to
anybody else in starting up housekeeping.
Our business men should help this begin
ming, as should everybody else. If you want
to help and don't know exactly what is
wanted, just drop postal card to one of
the committee of ladies named above and
she will let you know. 1t would be good
idea for you to do it anyhow, for the ladies
have their hearts bent on the success of
this undertaking, and it is well to stand
well with the good women of your town.
1t sounds almost too good to be true;
but it is true, that after September LIST it
can no longer be said that a homeless and
friendless man or woman may be overtaken
by accident Oh disease in Stanton with no
place to lay their heads. This Hospital
flat will have some one there every hour of
the day and night, and as long as there is
an unoccupied cot, patients will be taken
in. 1t is small beginning, but it will
lead to hospital of larger dimensions and
that speedily.
Now that the ladies have made a begin
ming let the Railroad companies, the
Masonic Fraternity, the Odd Fellows
Fraternity, the Knights of Pythias and
the churches be applied to for an organized
systematic contribution to this charity.
If cot endowment cannot be made, then
set aside regular sum, however small, to
be paid to the Hospital and credited against
any patient that the order OF church may
hereafter send to it for attention. By that
means the institution will soon grow and
vacant cots will be there to meet all calls

Death of Gen. John D. Imboden.

Gen. John d. Imboden died at his home
in the village of Damascus. Washington
county, Va, on Thursday last, at noon, III
his seventy-third year. Gen. lmboden was
born in Augusta county and was educated
at old Washington College Washington q
Lee in Lexington. He taught school for
a time and then studied law and was ad-
mitted to the bar. His first appearance in
public life was as candidate for clerk OF
the Augusta county court in one of the
most exciting local campaigns ever had IN
the county and in which he was successful.
He once represented the county in the
Honse of Delegates
When the war came on he entered the
service in command of the Staunton Artil-
Iery aid rose to the rank of Brigadier Gen
eral of Cavalry, which be filled when the
war closed, his field Of operations being
chiefly in the Valley of Virginia and West
Virginia, and his command came to be as
well known as any brigade in the Army OF
Northern Virginia.
After the war closed he settled in Rich
mond and began the practic of law, but
some twenty years ago moved to South
west Virginia, where he was prominent in
developing the mineral resources of that
section and in his efforts to build a railroad
from the Tennessee line to Wilmington,
NC. The village in which he died was
one of the towns started as part of that
enterprise.
He has contributed good deal on vari-
Gus subjects to the magazines political
and historical-muc of it being on the civil
war through which he passed with great
credit About his last contribution to
public print was well written account for
the VINDICAToR of the disastrous battle
at Piedmont in this county. He was a
brave soldier and efficient commander,
and accomplished remarkable results with
the means at his command. No oTganiza-
ton in the Army of Northern Virginia
stood higher for it's valuable service than
Imboden S brigade.
In private life he was always man OF
adventurous enterprise, and StauntOn still
contains pretty residences erected by him
many years ago on y orth Market and West
Main streets. But neither in early nor
later life did his enterprises yield pecuniary
success. and though his last years had been
spent in developing the enormous wealth OF
Southwestern Virginia, he himself died a
poor man.

Preparations are being made for the
celebration of the completion of the
Chesapeake & Western Ry. to Bridge

the route west of the mountain after it
gets through, decided on. Chief Engineer
Cornell was in Monterey last week; he had
been looking over four routes to cross the
Shenandoah mountain. One day he made
trip through portion of Pendleton and
Pocahontas counties, but there was no cer-
tainty whether it was to look out a route
through Pendleton, OF whether the trip
was taken to hurry up the Highland people

There is to be meeting of the Highland
people at Monterey court day, next Tues
day, to which Col. Machen has been invit-
ed and at which it is expected some action
will be taken about subscription.

the proposed Northern Neck Railroad, here
to-day, says that from Falmouth down to
the extreme end of the line on Chesapeake
Bay, the road bed can be constructed at
exceptionally cheap rates, as there will be
but little cutting and filling, and only three
short bridges on the whole line. and they

extension of the line, he says, is via Manas-
sas and Winchester, to the coal fields OF
