The Vending Lecture.

One of the most interesting and most
thoroughly appreciated lectures which
the people of this neighborhood have
ever been privileged to hear was that
delivered by Hon. George R. Wend-
ling in Shepherdstown last Friday
evening, under the auspices of &.
Kyd Douglas Camp of Sons of Con-
federate Veterans. The members OF
the camp, under command of Captain
Kearfott, escorted the distinguished
speaker and General Douglas to the
hall, which was prettily decorated
with flowers and the Confederate col
ors. The subject of Mr.. Weddings
lecture was "Stonewall Jackson, and
he was introduced in a graceful little
speech by General Henry Kyd Doug
las, of Hagerstown, who was Oh the
staff of the famous soldier during the
civil war.
Mr.. Weddings fame as an orator
and lecturer had preceded him, but
had not been overdrawn. From the
opening sentence that fell from his
lips to the thrilling peroration he held
the undivided attention of his audi
ence, which was a large one composed
of the representative people of the
community, including many old vet
Grams who had followed Stonewall
Jackson and who listened with eager
ness to the story Of the battles they
had fought with their matches leader.
Mr.. Vending did not simply eulo-
gize the great Confederate soldier,
though he told eloquently Of his piety,
his personal character and his military
genius. He spoke Of him as figure
in a great movement that was planned
by the Almighty-not simply as
brilliant meteor flashing across the sky
in an accidental course. He gave a
review of the conditions preceding the
civil war, and said that that great
conflict between Cavalier and Puritan
the South and the North-had re-
suited in obliterating these two ma
tional characteristics and presented to
the world a new man, the American.
The speaker told in thrilling words
of the military achievements of jack
son, his description of the battle of
Bull Run, where jackson won the i'm
mortal name of Stonewall, being in
tensely dramatic. He sketched the
military maneuvers and the bravely
fought battles of Jackson and his men
in the most interesting and forcetul
manner, and the veterans who listened
went with the speaker up and down
theValley once more,and on to Eastern
Virginia and back again, striking here
and there those irresistible blows that
never failed in accomplishing their
leaders purpose.
The lecture was literary and his
torical treat, and no better has prob
ably ever been heard in Shepherds
town. At its conclusion VIII Snyder
and Elizabeth Banks, representing the
Sons and Daughters of the Confeder-
acy, presented Mr.. Vending with
handsome bouquets.
The S. V. Camp passed resolutions
thanking Mr.. Vending for his kind
ness in delivering the lecture and for
his extreme generosity in turning the
entire proceeds into its treasury. The
boys say there's nothing too good for
him, and they'll be running him for
Congress first thing he knows.

Railroad Affairs.

The president and directors of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
other gentlemen interested in the T.
nancial affairs of the Norfolk & West
ern Railway passed through Shep-
herdstown Tuesday morning on their
way to Roanoke, where the annual
meeting of the directors of the N. &
W. was held yesterday. They travelled
in special train which ran just ahead
of No. 8. Walter Hutchings was the
conductor in charge and Harvey Hook
man was at the throttle of the engine.
The train passed this place quite slow
ly, and the schedule all the way to
Roanoke was one of limited speed, at
fording the officials opportunity for in
speeding the road thoroughly.
There are plenty of rumors as to
what is meant by this trip OF the Penn
sylvania officials, and it is not easy
to get at the truth. One report says
that the Pennsy, which has certainly
purchased enough Of stock in the n.
& W. to give it a strong influence IN
the management, will take complete
control of the road and manage it as
part of the Pennsylvania system,
thus giving it another direct line to
the South. This same rumor indicates
that the change will be made and the
road absorbed in the very near future.
Another story is that the Pennsy will
simply exert such influence as will
give it the connections and rates it de-
sires and that the management Of the
n. & W. will not be disturbed. 1t is
asserted that last year request was
made that the N. & W. place an addi-
tional fast train for the South on this
division. The request was ignored.
Now, it is said, this request will be
put in the form of a demand, and it is
further stated that the additional train
will be put on in November. One
thing is certain, the Pennsylvania has
a considerable interest in the Nor
folk & Western, and it is not unlikely
that changes will be made.
1t is generally hoped that the Penn
sylvania will take full possession of
the Norfolk & Western. The shippers
along its line want to see the Pennsy's
business-like methods adopted; the
travelling public hope for better &C
commodations; the employees of the
road would like different spirit man
Tested toward them and the people
generally would hail with delight such
up-to-date management and such a
spirit of improvement as the Pennsyl-
vania gives to its property.
Superintendent Lowe had his men
exert extraordinary efforts last week
in preparation for the visit of the dis
tinguished railroaders. The section
men were even requir ed to work on
Sunday painting the switch-posts and
sign-boards and cleaning up the
grounds around the stations, and the
Shenandoah Valley division was put
in the best of order from Hagelstown
to Roanoke.

SINGULAR POSSESSIONS.

Members of the auxiliary forces which
have been departing from England for
South Africa have afforded constant sur
prise to the embarkation officers as they
appear on the lock with such singular
things in their possession. One trooper
had a little dog under his arm, which
was not so strange, but another man
begged hard to take along a mouse in a
cage. He said it was "canny." and could
scarcely be induced to part with it. and
only then when a good-natured voice
cried out:
Give the wee to me. I'll keep i'm for
