W JESS*] R. MAXWKLL DEAD. Pell from Twila at Blackville ?md In- ' scantly KlHed. 1 The body of Jesse R. Maxwell, who , was killed by accident at Blackville ' last Sunday morning, was brought to Walhalla Monday afternoon for bur lal, the Interment taking place tn ' Westview cemetery shortly after the ; arrival of the train on which the re- ! mains wero brought. . The announcement of Mr. Max- 1 well's untimely death came as a great j shock to relatives and friends boro j Sunday morning, and the news cast a gloom over the entire town. Mr. Maxwell was born near Walhalla and his young manhood was spent here, and after serving a four-year apprenticeship In Tho Courier office, ! entered the service of the Blue Ridge ' Railway. A number of years ago,how- ' ever, Mr. Maxwell left the employ of the Blue Ridge and entered the ser vice of the Southern, since which time his headquarters hod been In j Columbia. He was on his regular run , Saturday, and when his train neared ; the station at Blackville, early Sun- ' day morning Mr. Maxwell Informed his flagman that he was going to the engine. This trip, with the train in motion, called for him to travel the length of his train, from the caboose to the engine, over the tops of the cars. There was .among the cars that went to make up the train a tank car, much lower than the box cars, and lt ls here that lt ls sup posed Mr. Maxwell met with the ac cident. It ls supposed that, not no ticing the tank car, he proceeded over the tops of the boxes and foll from the top to thc tank car below, his body going down between the two cars and on to the track, where he was horribly mangled 'and Instantly killed. The accident occurred about 1.55 Sunday morning. Mr. Maxwell was universally liked here at his old home, as he was also in his adopted home, Columbia, where he had a host of friends and admirers. The accident that cost him his life was due to a custom of his, according to railroad men, that he had adopted long ago to Insure certainty of under standing and dispatch In receiving and giving orders. Before reaching stations ho invariably went over the top of his train to be ready at the station to receive orders from the agent and communicate them to his engineer, thus saving Hmo and expe diting Hie movement or his train. Mr. Maxwell had been a conductor on a freight run on the Southern for a number of years and was regarded as one of the best men in the service on his division. He was a son of tho late G. K. Maxwell and Mrs. Maude Maxwell, pf Walhalla, the latter still residing here with several of hor children, j Besides his mother he is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. C. M. 'Nield, of Vicksburg, Miss.; Mrs. J. W. Nix, of Greenville; Mrs. John W. Ferguson, of Hartsville; John H. Maxwell, who lives near Walhalla, and ls an old railroad man; Miss Julia Maxwell, of Walhalla; Lucien S. Maxwell, of Johnston; Mrs. C. H. Humphries, of Walhalla. Mr. Maxwell was mar ried and leaves a wife and three children to mourn his death. Hts widow before marriage was Miss Lucy Murphy, of Anderson. To these bereaved ones is extended the deep est sympathy of hosts of friends. Accompanying tho body were the following relatives and friends from Columbia: Mr. and Mrs. George W. Maxwell and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hutchison, Mr. and Mrs P. L. Shllleto, Mr. and Mrs. llenrv Craw ford. W. H. Kelston, T. A. Cobb, Thomas Calk. Lucien Lee, Mr. Tato, H. B.

The floral tributes sent from rail road men and personal friends of the deceased were massive and beautiful. Mr. Maxwell was a member of Acacia Lodge. No. fl 1, A.P.M., of Columbia, and of the Woodmen of the World. These orders also forwarded beauti ful floral tributes. Several of tho gentlemen who attended thc funeral from a distance were representatives of the Order of Railway Conductors, of which Mr. Maxwell was a member. Among these wore tho engineer and fireman of tho train on which the sad accident occurred. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. H. Hamilton, of the Wal halla Presbyterian church, I thrown out of tho car with fatal re sults. The negro was thrown 30 feet into the air when the car made a quick turn and landed against a tree.
