Mr.. William Skinner of this town,
who fell from the top of box car
while at work on July 80, was oper-
ated on last week at the American
Stomach Hospital in Philadelphia, by
DIR. A. w. Hammer, specialist, for
the dislocation of the semilunar carpal
bone of the right hand. At the time
of the accident Mr.. Skinner was rush
ed to DIR. Deakyne's office in Smyrna,
where stitches was required for the
cut on his chin. Thence to DR.. Nc
Daniel at Dover for an x-ray of his
right hand. After three weeks, and
he did not improve, he went to Phil
adelphia for another x-ray, which
showed what was causing him such
extreme pain. On August 9th, DR..
Hammer, with the assistance of DR..
Blanco and two other surgeons, tried
to force the bone back in place, but
We're unable to do SO. Finally the
bone was removed. The many friends
of Mr.. Skinner hope his hand and
wrist will be well and strong. At the
time Mr.. Skinner was in the hospital,
his wife was in the same hospital for
drainage Of the gall-bladder. We wish
them both speedy recovery.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has a
greed to name two of its fast trains,
one north and the other southbound,
the "Del-Mar-Va Express" In his
letter, announcing that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad had complied with the
request of the Centreville Chamber of
Commerce, David N. Bell, passenger
manager of the railroad, Philadelphia,
wrote: Referring to your letter of
September and 8, in regard to nam
ing one of our trains to Cape Charles
the "Del-Mar-Va Express" l would
not suggest that train 19-447 be given
this name. "Inasmuch as this is
night train and passed through
large portion Of the Del-Mar-Va Pen
insula at night, we have felt it would
be better to apply this name to train
445,which leaves Philadelphia at 10O5
a. M. New York City at 8 A. M
for Cape Charles and Norfolk. While
this train does not make connections
for all the Peninsula branch points,
yet, everything considered, we feel it
is the proper train to which to apply
the name "Del-Mar-Va Express. In
the reverse direction, we feel train
ASP, leaving Cape Charles at 1925
p. NJ. should be similarly named, and
we are arranging to show these
names on the issue of our timetables
effective September 26th.
