tu? Where the Blackbirds Roost. For the past few weeks, just about sundown every evening, the people of thjjs neighborhood have noticed great flocks of blackbirds winging their flight from all directions toward Shepherdstown. The objective point for the bjrtjs was Elmwood Cemetery, at the edge of town, where, among the many trees of all kinds, they hAd established a regular roosting place. Thousands upon thousands of birds congregated in the cemetery, and as they flew in in great flocks they darkened the sun. and their ceaseless chattering could be heard a great distance.

The birds only took a short time to become a great nuisance. The foliage was injured, the tombstones and monuments were befouled, the walks made almost impassable on account of the litter, and the air became very impure. The clean, shady, inviting spot was becoming a filthy rookery, and it was decided to drive the birds out. Monday evening Superintendent Maddox. with a number of helpers, armed with shotguns, began war on the birds.

As the guns began to crack and the birds were disturbed the uproar became deafening, but by the time a good many had been shot the others had beenfrightened away. Tuesday evening the birds returued as usual, but the same reception awaited them, and they were soon put to flight. They have gotten fewer and fewer each evening, most of them going up to the cliffs, above town, where they will be allowed to "roost in peace." It is thought that they wilj be permanently dislodged from the cemetery in a few days more. The News of the Railroads. A recent dispatch from Philadelphia savs that the plan for the reorganization of the Shenandoah alley Railroad, which has been in the hands of a receiver for more than five years, has at last made its appearance.

The road is to he sold at foreclosure sale on September 30, and the committees of first mortgage and general mortgage bondholders have agreed upon Louis Fitzgerald, George C. Wood and Frank P. Clark as a committee to buy in the property. The reorganization plan contemplates the issue of $10,000,000 of fiftyyear five per cent, mortgage bonds, $4,500,000 of preferred stock and of common stock. The preferred and common stock is to be transferred to the Norfolk and Western Railroad in consideration of certain guarantees.

The holders of present Shenandoah Valley first mort gage seven per cent, bonds will receive par and full interest in newmortgage bonds, being at the rate of $1,420 per bond the holders of Shenandoah Valley general mortgage bonds pay an assessment of $60 per $1,000 bond and receive $1,100 in Norfolk and Western preferred stock. No provision seems to have been made fur the holders of Shenandoah Valley income bonds and stock. The new bonds are to be guaranteed by the Norfolk and Western Railroad. Of the $10,000,000 authorized, 400 will be issued in taking up the present first mortgage bonds, will lie used In paying olT receivers1 certificates, car trust obligations, for costs of reorganization, for double tracking und improvements and equipment, and the remaining 2,500000 will be spent in securing a ter. minus in Washington, I).

and in the construction of a road from Front Royal to that city. The plan will undoubtedly go through, as all opposi tion to the committee has been allayed. Col. Charles M. Futterer, Traveling Agent of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, was busy last week getting the crowds to and from Morgan's Grove, and that he was successful is evidenced by the fact that not a traiu was delayed, not a person was hurt, and not even a quarrel occurred.

The Colonel is a genial and clever gentleman, and is indefatigable at all times in promoting the interests of the road. The right man in the right place, is Colonel Futterer. The passenger traffic on the Shenandoah Valley Railroad is on the increase. A persistent effort to elop it, especially in a local way, would make it much greater. Mr.

John Feldman, who has been with the Cumberland Valley Railroad for sixteen years, has resigned to go into the real estate business in Ilagerstown. Says the Manufacturers' Record: "During the last ten years the South has built nearly 20.000 miles of newrailroad, an increase of about 100 per cent, over 1880, the total mileage for this section- at present being over 40,000. Will the same rate of increas continue during the next ten years, and thus give the South over 80,000 miles of railroad in 1000 It is quite possible that it will, and we believe that ten years hence the South will have double its present railroad mileage, as extravagant as such a prediction may seem to many. E. F.

Emmons, employed as fireman on the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, lost two fingers and a thumb while coupling cars the other night. Therailroad statistics just published show that passengers were killed and 2,146 injured during the ttscal year 1889, out of a total of 472.161,346 carried, or one in every 1,424,133 only. The annual report of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890, just issued, shows the company operates 895 miles of main line and 36 miles of branches. The gross earnings were $7,161,000 and the net earnings $1,706,000. Included in the operating expenses are large sums for new rails and new bridges.

Two hundred 1 and fifteen miles of line from Charlottesville to Big Sandy river, over which the heaviest traffic goes, are now laid with new 75-pound steel rails.

Representative McComas has introduced a bill to establish a national park at Antietaui Cemetery under the same conditions that similiar parks are to be established at Gettysburg and Chickamauga. The committee appointed by the Pennsylvania Legislature to mark the sjtes for monuments to perpetqate the memory of the dead comrade who fell on Antietaui battlefield ex. pect to locate seventy-seven sitesThey will recommend an application to the Legislature of Pennsylvania for an appropriation of seventy-seven thousand dollars for seventy-seven monuments to be erected at different on the battlefield? positions Occupied by the Pennsylvania regiments who took part in the battle.

Last Friday was the doting day of the Morgan's Grove Exhibition, and late in the afternoon, just about the time everybody was ready to quit, the gathering clouds opened and let the rain descend. The day was an interesting one. Col. Daniel D. Johnson, Agriculturist of the Experimental Station at Morgan town, this State, made the address of the day, having been introduced by Col.

Win. A. Morgan. Col. Johnson made a practical agricultural speech that was greatly appreciated by the farmers and others.

It is just the sort of a show that the Shenandoah Valley needs, and one that is enjoyable in every respect. With the help that we have no doubt the railroad company will extend, it can be made a tremendous affair. One of the striking features of the fair was the enormous number of sales made by the exhibitors, especially of farming implements and vehicles of various kinds. All who exhibited machinery report 'they did a splendid business. One large exhibit of buggies and wagons was cleaned up completely, and many of- ders taken On Thursday Mr.

Henry Shepherd made a handsome exhibit, consisting of his thoroughbred Jersey cattle, fine bheep, wild geese, and he also provided refreshments at hie pavilion for all bis friends. A great many of our people are already making plans for the improvement pf the show next year. That's 1 the way to make it a success. 9 Council Meeting.

Curiously Kept Cash. Mr. A.

N. Carter, a worthy and much respected citizen of this county, residing near Bloomfield, says the Loudoun Mirror died a few weeks ago, possessed of an estate generally supposed to have been worth about $4,000. Be was a bachelor prudent and economical in habits, and his Will, after making some special bequests, provided that the residue of his estate should be divided among certain designated relatives. In his room stood two old fashioned which he had moved during his life, time from one boarding house to an. other, paying no particular attention to them, except to carry the keys.

Souie days after his funeral it became necessary to overhaul the drawers of these rather dilapidated pieces of furniture, the result of which afforded a most agreeable surprise, no doubt, to the residuary legatees. In the first one examined was found several hundered dollars in coin and currency, in tho other, carefully rolled up and stored away in its recesses, was about five thousand dollars, mainly in greenbacks, indicating that it had probably been there for some time.
