Adams, Henry
\u201cAsleep on Track Killed by Train\u201d
   \u201cHenry Adams, colored, a stable boy at Senator Martin\u2019s home on the Ivy Road, was fatally injured, and his companion, Bertha Brown, colored, was badly hurt by being struck by westbound Chesapeake and Ohio train No. 1 about 10 o\u2019clock last evening at Wood\u2019s Crossing, about 3 1-2 miles west of the city.
   \u201cAdams and the girl had been on a visit to the latter\u2019s parents at Birdwood and were at Wood\u2019s Crossing awaiting the arrival of the eastbound local, No. 14, to come to their home in this city. Their train was nearly an hour late and the two sat down on the cement platform and fell asleep. In the meantime No. 1 came along and the steam chest of the big engine, 316, struck Adams and the girl. No. 1 stopped at Ivy and reported the accident, and the eastbound local, No. 14, was ordered to stop at Wood\u2019s Crossing and investigate. Dr. J. F. Williams of this city was aboard the local. He found that Adams\u2019 scalp had been badly torn and that there was little chance for his recovery. The Brown girl came off much better. Her arms and legs were badly cut and bruised. Both were put aboard the train, brought to this city  and taken to the University Hospital. Adams succumbed to his injuries soon after reaching the Hospital. The girl will recover, it is stated.
   \u201cAdams was the son of Rawls Adams, who is in the employ of Captain Barlow. He was about twenty-two years of age.
   \u201cBertha Brown is about twenty years of age. Her parents, Abram Brown and his wife, live at \u2018Birdwood.\u2019\u201d
