George Waller, a seventy year old
farmer, residing near Delmar, died
Saturday night as the result OF a
broken back sustained Friday night
when the sedan in which he was
riding overturned on the State High
way near Dover. Mr.. Walters SON
in-law, who was passenger in the
car, said he seemed to slump for
ward suddenly and the supposition
is that he was paralyzed with a
consequent wrecking of the car. He
is survived by wife and one daugh-
ter, Mrs. George Williams.
The worst wreck which has ever
happened on the Norfolk Division,
formerly the New York, Philadel-
phia and Norfolk Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, happened
about 11:30 o'clock Saturday night,
when the last ten cars of an excur-
sion train from Norfolk to New York
left the rails near Onley, Va, tear
ing the rails from the adjoining
southbound track and landing on
the concrete highway which paral-
lels the railroad at that point. The
engine crew, Eddie Northam and Ar
lie Hudson and the conductor, Chas.
Cordrey, escaped unhurt; but the
brakeman, Marion Galloway, of Del
mar, was hurled through the win
dow and was crushed to death by an
overturned car. At this writing II
dead and 20 injured have been re-
moved from the wreckage with
part of the debris still remaining.
Wrecking crews and relief trains
were rushed from Cape Charles and
Delmar and prompt and efficient aid
was given the unfortunate victims.
About 200 passengers proceeded
to New York on train No. 450 while
