HOW DlGNITARIES WE'RE

Magnific ent Trains Run Over the
Pennsylvania System.

Chicago Herald October sd, 1922
Ono of the mcss important and sue.
cessful features inconnectiOD with the
dedicatory exercises of the Worlds Fair
grounds, and one which fully illustrated
the wonderful progress which our country
has made within the last half century,
was the movement made by the Pennsyl-
Vania Railroad Company of the cabinet
officers, the supreme court justices, and
the diplomatic corps from Washington
to this city and back. 1t required three
special trains to perform this function,
and Vice President Frank Thomson, 20
whom the credit of the achievement is
due, made requiSitior Oh the Pullman
Palace Car Company for the finest
equipment which those famous Car build
ers could produce. The result was a
triple section train such as has never
before glided over the rails in any country
A crew OF twenty five persons, includ-
ing stewards cooks, walters, porters,
maids, electricians, and macninists, in
addition to the usual quota of trainmeD,
was required to insure proper survice
The outfit resembled in a somewhat
lessened degree the personal equipment
of an ocean greyhound, Of which the
trains were duplication on land.
These trains were provided and rendered
fer tho use of the distinguished guests
of Chicago by Vice President Thomson.
They were run from Washington to
Chicago as section of the regular
Chicago Limited" of which they were
duplicates, and they conformed to the
regular schedule of that train. With
the thorough organization of the Penn
sylvaia Railroad Company and its SPLEEN
did system they came through the entire
distance, on the special schedule time
arranged for them. without accident or
delay of any kind, and this in the face
of an extraordinarily increased passenger
traffic. The great line is in such excell-
ent physical condition, so we'll protected
ny tuo sdiGSuhIGS VI LhCuClh lhFcuIiOL,
aud SO perfectly managed by corps of
men who have been educated and trained
under the eyes Of its high officials, that
a movement of this kind, extraordinary
as it may appear to the public, was
effected without interfering in any
manner with the routine of everyday
traffic. 1t is safe to say that while no
other country in the world would be able
TO move the entire organization of its
government distance of one thousand
miles, so there is no other railroad COM
pany which could grapple with such a
problem and solve it with the ease TO
the persons in interest and the credit to
itself that has distinguished this
achievement OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. 1t reflects the utmost credit on
Vice President Thomson, who planned.
and his associates. who executed the
brilliant feat of railroad transportation,
and holds out bright promise of equally
successful work when the resources of
this line will be drawn upon next year
to furnish adequate transporta ion
facilities to the hosts Who will visit the
worlds greatest fair.

Death OF Richard Thomas.

Ex-Sheriff Richard Thomas, we'll
known citizen of Elkton, died suddenly
of heart failure on Tuesday evening
about 6 is O'Clock, at his residence on
Main street. Mr.. Thomas had been
unwell for a considerable time but was
not conf ned to his home. A short time
prior to his death he was on the street,
and upon his return home complained of
feeling badly and sat down in chair in
the store, expiring IN a few minutes.
He was a native of England, and when
young came to this country, locating in
Baltimore, whence he removed to
this county in 1912. He held the office
of lumber inspector at Port Deposit for
several years, later engaging in the
lumber business which he continued
until 1855 when he met a serious loss in
the sinking of several boats used in car.
rying the lumber, and which were owned
by him. He was elected Sheriff on the
Democratic ticket, in the fall of 1871
ana served two years. He purchased
the Gray's Hill property now owned by
the estate of the late John E. Wilson,
and expended considerable money in
mining iron ore, but the project proved
a failure, and he sold the farm, return
ing to Elkton, afterwards engaging in
the confectionery and fruit business.
He served as registrar of voters for this
election district, for two years, having
been appinted in 1887. He was the first
warden of the new Jail. In 1884 he was
appointed crier of the Circuit Court and
and which position he held until his
death. He took an active interest in the
Singerly Fire Company of Ekton, of
which organization he was the president,
and one of the incorporators.
Mr. Thomas was seventy six years of
age. A widow and an adopted daughter,
Mrs. Frank J. Denny of Elkton,
survive him. The funeral services we're
held from his late home on Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock, iutermens IN Elkton
cemetery. The Singerly Fire Company
attended the funeral in body.

Ran to the Woods.

Considerable excitement was occasion
ed in the neigh borhood OF Harlan's mill,
five miles north of Elkton, on Sunday
night. A map employed as stone

Railroad, now i'll course of construction
boards at the residence of Henry Spence,
and occupied room on the second floor.
On Saturday he was noticed in Elkton
and it is supposed he took home that
night quantity of theiardent, which he
literally imbibed during Sunday. That
night he was attacked with delirum
tremens and in naked condition jumped
from the window of his room to the
ground and quickly ran off in the dark
ness. A number of persons pursued him
but the man escaped when the search
was discontinued for the night. 1t was
resumed on Monday and at noon the
crazed man was discovered lying among
a quantity of leaves in stretch of woods
along the railroad embankment at dis.
lance of one mile and half from Mr..
Spence's house. He is recovering and
seems little the worse for the night in
the woods.
