sand of the best retail druggists in
the country recommend Vinol, our de.
licious cod liver and iron tonic, with

THE DEATH RECORD
THOMAS SCOTT MARTIN.

ItOMAS SUIT MAX lin
After an illness extending from Sep
TENDER of last year, Thomas Scott
Martin, aged Al years, succumbed to the
ravages of disease on Friday evening,
March SO, and was buried in the Oak
land cemetery Sunday afternoon after
appropriate services conducted in the
Presbyterian church by the pastor, Rev.
Dr. j. c. Ely. The deceased was born
in Oakland, being the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Martin, two of Oakland
pioneer residents and highest respected
citizens. Early last fall the deceased
was attacted by the insidious disease
which caused his death but notwith-
standing the fact that all was done for
him that medical science and the best
nursing could accomplish he steadily
grew weaker until the end, being at
tended at all times by his devoted mother
and sisters. Being the only surviving
son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin the manage
ment of the business in which his father
had been engaged for more than half a
century naturally devolved upon him.
His death is all the more sad on account
of his father, whose eyesight failed
about a year ago and who is now totally
blind. The deceased was a member of
the Presbyterian church and also of the
Knights of Pythlas Of Oakland the lat
ter organization conducting the services
at the cemetery. He is survived by his
mother and father and TOUR sisters,
Misses Arabelle. Margaret and Dora
Martin, all at home, and Mrs. John
Kennedy of Parkersburg, w. Va, To

WRECK ON THE GRADE

east Saturday about noon was wrecked
on the Seventeen-Mile Grade near
Hitchcock tunnel resulting in blocking
all three tracks and tying up traffic for
more than seven hours and a monetary
loss to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company figuring up in the thousands
of dollars.
AS the train neared the point where
the wreck occurred wheel under a
fifty-ton steel coal hopper burst, thus
creating a derailment of the car which
dropped to the ties, cutting about five
hundred into splinters and rendering
them worthless. Other cars Of the
train were also derailed and the momen-
tum was so great that a tangled heap
of coal and box cars were soon piled up
covering all three tracks and etfectually
stopping all traffic for more than half a
day
Train No. So, due in Oakland at 8. 80,
did not arrive until about $50 that
evening, while east bound passenger
trains Nos ii and Y were held at the
scene of the wreck until it was cleared
UP and the tracks placed in proper con
dition.
