DRY" WASKOUT
STOPS TRAINS
Unique accident From
Quarry Blast-Ofher
Mishabs on Line.

Trains on the Belvidere Delaware
Railroad were delayed more than an
hour last Friday morning, between
Lambertville and Stockton by an
unique "washout." A blast at the
Delaware River Quarry and Con-
struction Company's quarry forced
the water in the canal feeder to the
west bank with such force that it
washed out section of the railroad
bed, and broke one of the big 130-
Id. rails. The train northbound from
Lambertville at s,3s had passed the
quarry, but the southbound train,
which should have passed the quar-
ny about 500 was late, due to the
breaking down of its locomotive,
and came along in time to be held
up by the washout.
A force of men soon repaired the
break. and the train arrived in this
city about one and half hours late.
The telegraph and telephone wires,
which were carried down by two
broken poles, were repaired during
the afternoon, trains being operated
in the meantime entirely by the
regular meeting system that can be
put into effect when there is no
communication available.
Washouts often occur during rain
storms. but rarely in dry weather,
so this one will have special place
in railroad history.
A derailed freight locomotive at
Raven Rock Tuesday afternoon de-
layed the 2.17 and 2.38 trains Clam
bertville time) more than an hour.
Both passenger locomotives were
utilized in getting the freighter back
on the rails, and its oscar train
pulled on siding. No serious
damage was done.

PASTOR BRANDS KU KLUX KHAN
STATEMENT AS A FALSEHOOD
BeacOn's Report That "Sheefed Order" In
tended Meeting at Centenary NJ. E. Church
Denounced as Being Garbied.

Lambertville-Last Sunday after
noon at the Centenary Methodist
Church, the pastor, Rev. Francis E.
Purcell, addressed a record congre-
cation on "Some Duties of American
Citizens" This was a sermon deliv-
cred in the same church on April
9th. Because of the forceful APP
peal of this sermon, Mr.. Purcell was
urged to repeat it at some time
which would not conflict with other
church services in the city, so that
a larger number could hear it.
Accordingly Mr.. Purcell, after Sc
curing the approval of those con-
cerned, set the time for last Sun
day afternoon. The following notice
was read, word for word, at three
services at the church before the
date of the meeting:
"The Pastor of this church
has been requested to repeat
his sermon on "Some Duties of
American Citizens" at time
when all can attend. We have
arranged such a service for Sun
day, October 10th at 2:30 P. M.
The P. o. S. of A., p. o. of A.,
Junior Order of Mechanics and
all other patriotic orders and
citizens are invited. A Male
Quartette will sing. The Rev. w.
A. Lewis, of New Hope, will
take part in the service"
A verbatim copy of this an
nouncement was sent to the LAM
bertville Beacon, the publisher of
which is a member of Centenary
Church. And it was reasonable for
Mr.. Purcell to expect that in com
mon decency the announcement
would be published. Unfortunately
it was not sent to this paper, or it
would have been given to the public
truthfully. But instead of publish
ing the announcement, the Beacon
printed the following garbled and
misleading item;
KLUXERS HERE SUNDAY
"On next Sunday afternoon
at 300 o'clock there will be a
Ku Klux meeting at Centenary
Methodist Church, to be address
sed by the pastor, Rev. F. E. =
Purcell, and probably kleagles
and COLLINS of the order. This
is the first public meeting of
the Knights of the Knighties
ever held in Lambertville and
no doubt there will be a large
crowd of the curious present to
observe how the sheeted order
looks in daylight"

men since an American ''riehissime

to finish the famous towers of the
Paris cathedral.
Many were the people who were

Paul Heuze, writing in Candide,
thinks it was due to lack of money
or disagreement in the plans.
Others, like Camille Enlart and
Maurice Denis, are convinced that
the masters of the thirteenth cen.
fury stopped their work purposely
at the third platform Of the towers.
However, in 1855, when VioIlet-le-

JOHNSON,
Of TIGERS,
ASSTAR
Detroit Writer Believes SyI-
vester Will Finish Among
Top Five.

A Detroit writer who has looked
over the Tigers in the dope and
who followed them all last season,
picks Sylvester johnson TO finish
among the first five pitchers in the
American League this year. John
son would have done good work last
year, but his life was just one mis-
hap after another in 1928 and prior
to that. In his first season with
the Tigers the unfortunate pitcher
had his wrist broken and was a IA
miliar figure around the Detroit hos
pitfalls. Last year he was around
the hospitals so much that he called
all the doctors by their first names.
Sylvester was hit on the arm by
batted balls and thrown balls, and
nearly broke a leg by stepping on
a ball that was not moving. At odd
intervals he had charley horse,
bronchistis, tonsilitis and other all.
ments that afforded the internes ex.
cellent opportunities to become all
around practitioners. When the in.
ternes had finally qualified them.
selves by practicing on Sylvester
johnson he was declared to be
sound in wind and limb and sent
back to work. He was going along
nicely when he threw his pitching
arm, which is his right, entirely
out Of commission while laboring in
Philadelphia, and was sent home for
the remainder of~the season.
Johnson's arm is reported to be
as good as ever now, and IL he has
canned the hoodoo he should be q
great comfort to Ty Cobb.
