Several camps of engineers and a
little army of men are at work on
the east and west short line, recently
named the star route.
One corps of surveyors with five
tents are located at Cassville and
another with big crowd of men
along on Dolls Run. Still another
has been at work on Dunkard creek
1t is said that some sections of
right of way for this route have al
ready been purchased near Cameron

state, so it is reported, that in case
the railroad is built over this route
and cars running within three years,
the purchase money is to be kept by
the sellers as forfeit, and the land
reverts to Them in fee simple.

REMEMBERED THE DEAD.
DR.. Buchanan Spoke Touching
ly of Comrades gone.
Stephen Poe and III. l.. DuYal EulOgized
Men Wept While the Chaplain
Spoke of his Death-DepIored the
Illness of General c. l.. Smith.

The Parkersburg News says:
. DR.. Buchanan, chaplain OF the First
Regiment, did not hold services on
Stephensonis lawn as was expected,
but stepped out in front Of his tent
on the regimental street and there
talked informally for few minutes to
the men who crowded around. He
took no text, but read the entire
twelfth chapter of Matthew before he
began his talk.
NOW, men" SAID he, "this is a
great and beautiful world, and like all
of Gods creations. we are enjoying the
sunshine, freedom and life, but we
must all pass away. On this very
camp ground, whore we stand to-day,
last year there were with US, soldiers,
whose hearts beat as light and as hap
by as yours, and whom reyeille one
year ago called forth from this tented
city as patriotic and full of enthusiasm
as yourselves. who have since been
called to their reward. y
Continuing, DR.. Buchanan said
that there were among those who lis
tened to him some, perhaps, whC
would not be in the land of the living
when the brigade goes into camp again
next year. Comrades must part, he
said, and sacred friendships be broken
by the inevitable hand of death.
Touchingly he spoke of Regimental
Quartermaster Sergeant Stephen w.
Poe, OF Grafton, who died at his home
shortly before the beginning Of camp.
Mentioning the military record of Ser
geant Poe, he said that be was thor
ough soldier, popular and beloved by
every man in the regiment, and spoke
of his enlsting in tho First West Vir-
GINA Volunteers on May IA, 1898, and
remaining in the service until Febru-
airy 4, 1899, as private because he
was not granted commission. He
was honorably discharged by reason Of
ths muster out of xhs regiment 2nd
became eommissary sergeant in the
First Infantry September II, 1897,
but was ordered supefnumerary by
reason of enlisting in the First West
Virginia Volunteer Infantry and was
restored to active duty as com@issary
February 90 1900, with the rank and
date of service as If it had been con
tinued, and was first lieutenant of the
commissary when he died
DR.. Buchanan also eulogized the
late Fl. L, Dual of Wellsburg, SER
geant major of the Second Battalion,
who died also shortly prior to the
time of the encampment. He was
the grandson of General Duyal, of the
Union army, during the civil war, and
came to csmp on Aug. 5 last year, and
enlisted. He was a cadet officer at
the West Virginia University and
graduated there.
After paying the tribute to YOUNG
Duval, DR.. Buchanan expressed his
regret at the absence of Brigadier Gen
eral Frank L. Smith, who is so Ill at
his home in Fairmont, and paid him
glowing tribute, saying that he hop
ed to have him presentiat the next
encampment.
Many of the men had been the
chums of Poe, of the First Regiment,
and they wept while listening to the
gentle eloqUence of the chaplain in
speaking of his death.
