Iighr Engineer and

Detectives and officials of the Pcnnsyl-
vania railroad, as far rs could be learn

parties who opened the switch short
distance below Farnhurst on the Della
ware railroad on Friday night, thereby
causing the wreck of the Norfolk express

train wreckers no one connected with
the railroad seems 10 doubt. The lock
on the switch when examined after the
wreck was found to be broken This is
the second time within two weeks that Il
switch has been thrown between here
and New Castle. The other switch
thrown was Mt the northern watch tower
and Il freight train was slightly wrecked

time before. A switch had been opened
by some unknown person after the last
freight train had passed and the signal
light was changed. which made it to
how white in place Of red. and, seeing
the white light the engineer supposed
th" track was clear until it was too late

Obituary.

Mr.. J. H. Adair was born in the state
of Alabama, March, grid, 1928 He made
a profession of faith in Christ at the age
Of u and united with the Missionary
Baptist Church. He was ordained a
deacon at the age of IS and served his
church in this office until his death which
occurred Dec. 2, 1901. He was married
Sept. }, 1850, in his native state, to Miss
Ellen OerPace, with whom he lived until
his deoease.
Bro. Adair had opinions and convic-
tons of his own and was never afraid to
assert them. 1t seemed to be his chief
delight to converse Upon the subject of re-
ligion. At the time of his death he was a
member of the Prairie View Baptist
church and Ed. Isaac Davis, a pioneer
Baptist preacher OF this country, was his
pastor. Bro. Adair was very strong
temperance man, and he viewed with hor-
ror and disgust the mighty inroads of the
whiskey traffic upon the financial condi-
ton, moral status and general welfare OF
our people as'cltizens in land of freedom
and education.
tic was buried In the Harrison Gene
terry, the funeral being conducted by the
writer and his pastor after which the Ma
sons of Bellefonte and Harrison took
Charge Of and buried him according to the
ceremonies of that ancient order.
He was the father of several children
all of whom with his wife remain t
mourn his departure. Truly father il
Israel has fallen. "lie is gone but no
forgotten" And both. by life and dealt
he beckons, his companion, children ans
loved ones to meet him in the skies.
