Monday morning of this week as
the halt past nine express train from
the east canlerushing down, it halted
at the Tenney bridge crossings east
of this village, and there aIighted
from the train Division S]uperintend-
emit H. E. Folsom of LyndOnville,
Assistant superintendent &. FL. Bios
som of St. Johnsbury, and Road
master Charles Severance. They were
met there by State Railroad Com
missioner Frank Kenfeld of Morris
vile and the seIectmen of the town of
Morristown.
The party thus gathered were there
to look the ground Overland consider
the possible adjustment of the cross
ings at that point, which are ac-
knowledged to be of the most danger
GUS on the road. Superintendent
Folsom believed that the Darling
crossing could be easily done away
with by eXcavating the bank at the
right of the railroad going up, widen
ing the cut and bringing the Darling
road around onto the main highway.
He also thought that by coming
toward MorrisviIle fifteen or twenty
rods the highway could be cut
through under the railroad track
and then run parallel to the track,
between track and river, until the
bridge is reached. The two roads
constructed in that way, with high
board fences between highway and
railroad, would do away with grade
crossings and be a great safeguard
for the general public. Superinten-
dent Folsom promised to have his
engineer, Mr.. Williams, here on
Saturday of this week to survey and
make plans of the situation and pro-
posed changes, and make estimates.
He further stated that the town
might do the work, or if the town
preferred, the railroad people would
do it and in either case the road
would pay two-thirds of the expense,
the town paying the other third; or
he would consent to have the State
Railroad Commissioners say how the
expenses of the proposed undertake
ing should be divided. This would
seem a fair proposition and it un.
doubtedly will have the favorable
consideration of our town fathers
The Darling road could be changed
this fall, but the larger undertaking
would better wait until spring.

letter, From The People.

MR. EDITOR ALREADY we hear ru-
mors of prospective candidates for
the Legislature from Accomac coun-
ty, from Northampton and Accomuc,
and from Elizabeth City and Ac-
conac counties If we can judge
from the rumors at least three gentle
men would be willing to serve North
ampton and Accomac in the House of
Delegates for one session. We believe
Accomac has usually conceded that
the floater delegate should come
from Northampton and Elizabeth
City, still we don't think Accomac
has ever waived the right of a voice
in the selection of these representa-
tives, if, for any reason, she should
deem it advisable to express any
choice. The same rule, we think
holds as to the selection of Senator
from Accomac and Northampton.
We grant the privilege we claim.
The next Legislature must elect a
United States Senator TO succeed
Hon. John w. Daniel another
measure of Importance will, we BE-
ieve, be brought before the Legis
lature Of 1S97-9S, to wit, the repeal OF
the act passed at the last session by
which justices of the peace were
given exclusive original jurisdict On
in all misdemeanor cases By this
act the grand jury was deprived OF
its jurisdiction to find any present
ment, information or Indictment in
misdemeanor cases. The voters OF
Accomac county are interested in the
selection of Senator and the repea]
of the misdemeanor act and would
like to be Informed by the vlrious
candidates as to their preference for
United States SeDator and as to how
they stand upon the repeal of this
sta tute. We would be glad if you
would give to those who aspire to
represent us in the Legislature an
opportunity to express, through your
columns, their views upon these two
important matters. The above is
not written in the interest of any
candidate. We believe the people
desire to hear how their would be-
representative stand upon these
questions and will demand a public
expression before determining upon
their choice of candidates. Speak
out gentlemen and let us know how
Won stand. COUNTRYAIAN.

obituary.

Died, at his home, near Pastoral,
on the morning CT January god, 1897,
at $40 o'clock, Col. William B. Smith.
aged IS years, II months and II days.
The subject of this notice was born
near Locustlnount, at which place
his childhood and early manhood
was spent. About the year 1854 he
moved to this place, where | had
made many friends as attested by
the presence of those who on Sunday
January Gath, followed his
remains to their last resting place.
We laid him beside his wife who had
preceded him about thirteen years.
His funeral was preached by the Rev.
Mr. Sturgis, from Eel 1: 4: lone gen.
GRAFTON passeth away and another
generation coneth." Col. Smith was
the last surviving child of Rev Thos.
Smith, and brother of Thomas w.
and Jonathan Smith, of sainted
memory. His last hours though
painful were tranquil, apopleXy
having rendered him for the most
part unconscious of what otherwise
would have been the most acute and
painful of all suffering-terrible
burns-for three days and nights he
lay suffering. but was enabled to ex
claim amidst it all, what shall l do
to praise my Savior?" Then God SET
his spirit free to be, we trust, with
the loved ones gone before, forever
beside the Throne of God.
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.
