FARMER DROWNED.
Loses His Life While Helping to Res
cue Two Boys.

Mr.. P. G. Adams, a well-known
farmer, living at Penny's pond, near
Raleigh, y. c.. was drowned Tues
day, while helping to rescue two boys.
All were bathing in the pond. Adams
went to crawl up into a boat in which
were the two boys, when the boat
capsized. He helped to get the boys
out to shallow water and when they
reached the bank badly frightened
they were mortified on looking back
to see Adams sinking for the last
time. 1t was an hour before his body
was recovered. No water in his
lungs indicates that heart failure
may have followed his eXertion IN
saving the boys and that this rather
than the actual drowning caused his
death. He was 40 years old ana
bachelor.

Charles K. Hamilton Flies From New
York to Philadelphia.
HE THEN FLIES BACK
Left Governors Island in Aeroplane
Monday Morning and Reached
Philadelphia One Hour and Fifty
one Minutes Later, Covering Dis
tance of Eighty-Eight Miles.
tance Of Eighty-Eight Miles.

A dispatch from New York says
Charles K. Hamilton arose from Gov
ernor's Island in an aeroplane Mon
day morning and sped without a
break SS miles to Philadelphia in a
successful cross-crountry flight under
the auspices of the New York Times
and the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
He made the trip in one hour and
81 minutes, leaving Governors Is
land at 1885 and the landing at
Philadelphia at 9.36.
Alighting at the aviation field, he
delivered letters from Gov. Hughes
and Mayor Raynor to Gov. Stuart
and Mayor Reyburn, accepted mes
sages OF congratulation from them
to bear in return and started for
New York again, with only brief in
termission for food, fuel and oil. He
had flown approximately 70 miles Of
his return journey when sluggish
motor drove him to descend in
swamp near South Ambcy, N. j.,
at 1885 p. m. The propeller was
broken there in landing, but after
repairs had been made Hamilton re-
sumed his light at $40 and landed
at Governors Island $50. Thus the
trip was made in one hour and SO
minutes at an estimated speed of
54.96 miles an hour, which breaks
the record made in the Curtiss flight
from Albany to New York.
That Hamilton did not make the
return trip as easily as the outgo-
ing trip was due only to haste. He
neglected to clean his spark plugs,
they fouled, the engine baked, and
he had to come down on the banks
of the Raritan river, two miles above
South Amboy.
Curtiss stills holds the official re-
cord for speed, but Hamilton Monday
took all American records for cross
country distance and duration, and,
using his own figures for the return,
his average speed is new figure.
The broken propeller was the Sc
cond mishap of the kind during the
day, but he secured a new propeller
and with new set of spark plugs
the aviator was able to finish within
II hours, although "a hours were
allowed in the terms of his contract.
During the whole Of his first lap
Hamilton never varied more than
two minutes from his time card and
came down on the handkerchief laid
down to mark his landing spot with
the precision Of homing pigeon
settling on its perch.
1T is an interesting coincidence
that Hamilton won his honors with
the same bplane that won the inter-
national speed trophy for Glenn R.
Curtiss at Rheims last year and that
ne was driven by the same propeller
with which Curtiss recently made his
historic flight from Albany to New
York.
The weather was ideal for flight.
AS Hamilton wheeled his aeroplane
from its tent on Governors Island a
special train, chartered by the New
Yo.k Times and the Philadelphia
Public Ledger and carrying his moth
er, his wife, his chief mschanican,
Albert C. Doty and Mrs. Doty, stood
on a siding of the Pennsylvania ter
minal in Jersey City waiting for the
word.

"The governor Of a Sovereign

a days delay after the guilt of
this terrible criminal has been

we believe will see to it that the

A brave sheriff, a thoughtful

NUMBER Al
DASTARDLY ATTEMPT
MADE TO WRECK TRAIN
Deed Supposed to Have
Been Committed by a
Lunatic.

Timely discovery by track
walker Of an attempt to wreck
Baltimore & Ohio tram No. TIA,
northbound, at point two miles
east of Guyandotte, prevented a
terrible disaster and the culmina-
tion Of the most dastardly crime
ever attempted in the state of
West Virginia. The appearance
and prompt action of the track
walker, whose name the railroad
people were unable to give when
1T was requested, saved one hun
dred and fifty passengers from
being thrown over a steep en-
bankment and buried beneath
the wreckage Of a heavy train.
The extent Of the disaster which
was averted cannot be considered
lightly as at least it must have,
had it come to pass, cost many
lives.
No. TIA, an accommodation
train, always carried heavy list
of passengers out of Huntington
and this morning the crowd was
even larger than usual. The
track was clear when it left Hunt
ington and there was still no IN
timation of trouble wien it pull
ed out of the Guysndotte depot.
But when it had proceeded less
than two miles the engineer
brought his train to a stand when
the track walker few red flag.
The train crew alighted and
went forward to confer with the
track walker, who took them a
short distance up the track and
showed them the death trap that
had been laid.
For the length of two rails the
spikes which held the heavy irons
to the ties had been removed.
This alone would have been
sufficient to insure the ditching
of the train but, not content with
this, the Williams who were engag-
ed In the plot had wired each Of
the removed spikes to the top'of
the rail, using fine copper wire.
Either one of the means used
would have wrecked the train,
piling it up at the bottom of the
steep enbankment.
The spot chosen is lonely one,
quite distance from any house.
Ii Is believed that they intended
to zee the train wrecked after
which they meant to enrich
themselves by robbing the dead
and wounded passengers.
No crime or attempt at crime
ever known has stirred the com
munity as has this one and it may
be that serious trouble will rel
suit from the arrest of any one
suspected. Huntington Advertis-
or, August %.
The deed is supposed to have
been committed by an escaped
inmate from the epileptIc hospital
at Gallipolis, as he had been seen
in that vicinity the previous day.
