Rarely If ever has tho populace ot this boruugh been moved to pity as over the passing away of Harry Winters.

Scarcely over tho thres hold of twenty-six years, at a period when life seemed anout to dawn upon him with all Its attendant inspirations. His future was rich in promise, by vlrtuo of bis favorublo circumstances, ihat opened for him tho brightest prospects. Of his traits of character much might bo writ ten in his favor, and in support of this thought wo havo but to recall the touch ing scenes of Tuesday when lie was laid to rest amid tho tears of the multltudo assembled to do honor to his tnemmory. Tho secret of his popularity was Ilia fiicndly and unassuming character. A manly young man with a heart In touch witli Ills fellow man. lit ared amid plenty ho yet retained a quiet and genial beating that won for him a ?ood word from all nr.d henco tho manifestations at tho last sad rites. To his brothers who aro left to mourn him his death awakens tho tenderest errotlons.

From tho Junan Times. Last year (1S87) the progress of rail way enterprise in Japan wus phenom enal. Slnco tho pioneer railway was constructed between Toklo nnd Yoko hama, it distance of eighteen miles, In 1S72, the system ,hns been extended nt an nverage rate of 100 miles a year, so that ut tho end of March, 1&97, which conch: led the twenty-ninth fiscal year, tho total tnllense had reached 2,448 miles, At one leap, however, during the year Just expired, no less than C30 miles approximately wero added to the total, thus bringing it up to 3.000 miles in round numbers. Ot tho lines newly opened for trnlllc durlns Inst year, the Tokuyania section of tho Sobu Railway were the most Importnnt, for their mileage alone aggregated 120 miles nnd some fruetlons. Of the works of construction nctlvely pushed on since lust year wo may men tion, among tho Government lines, the Central line, the construction of which wns begun from the three different ter mini ut Nngoyn, Hasehlojl and Shln onol; tho Knmatsu-Tsuhuta section via Kunnzawa of the HoKutiku Railway, and the Fukushlma-Yamaguta section of the Tohoku Railway, which Is to ef fect a Junction ultimately with the Aoinoii terminus of the Nippln tall-way's-llne. With regard to private rail way enterprise we may mention the coast section from Talra to Nakamura of the Jyoban branch of the Nippon Railway; tho Korlyama-Wakamntsu section of the Gnnyetsu branch of the same railway; the Sanjyo-Nogooka sec tion of the Ilohnvetsu Railway; the Kamo-Nara and Shljyo Nnwate-Kltsu sections of the Kansal Railway, nnd tho prolongation of the Tokuyama ter minus of the Sanyo Railway as far as MltaJIri. When this prolongation shall have been completed tho next work to be undertaken will be the further prolongation of the trunk line as fur as Shlmonosekl, which, according to the programme, will be the terminus at one end as Kobe Is at the other. On the completion of the above-mentioned two sections of the Kansal rail way, Osaka, and Nngoya will be con nected with another railway service, besides the facility now nfforded by the Government Tokaldo line. Rallwny en terprise Is also active In Kyushu. The Hayagl-Omura section and the Sasebo branch of the Keyshu rullway have been virtually completed and will be opened for traffic at no distant date. The other sections will be completed by June next. The industry at Hok kaido also claims our attention. Tho work there Is In greater part official. The Government railway construction in Hokkaido Is divided Into two periods. To the first period ot construction be longs the lino which Is to stnrt from the Sorachlfuto terminus of the Tanko railway and to reach Asahlgawa via Kamlkawa. From Asahlgawa, one route will go southward to the coast of Kushlro, and thence ulong the coast to Nemuro. The other route will di vert northward from Asnhlgawa, and will reach Soya by way of Teshlwo. Tin total length Is about COO miles. Tno Sorachlbuto-Asahlgawa section, wo un derstand, will be opened for traffic by May next, most probably. On the part of private railway enterprise In Hok waldo, that of tho Kan-Sou Railway company is the most important. Tho project is to connect Hnkodate ami Ot.iru, a distance of ISO mlls, at tho estimated cost of S.000,000 yen ($3,031 000.) The work of construction will bo completed In about flvo years.

Ho llnally accepted, saving that It could bo only for dinner, and that, the meal over, he must hasten on to Williamsburg by moonlight. He then threw the reins of his horse to RHhop, his body-servant, nnd told him to wait for his return. Dinner being over, tho Virginia colo nel was so pleased with his company that he wns In no hurry to go.
