A Train's Narrow Lscap^.
There was con.-iderable excitement
for a few brief moments at
the Southern depot here Monday
morning and a sodden pallor spread
over a number of faees of those
who were quick enough to grasp
the situation. As No. 3d, the
Southbound fast mail, dashed past
the depot at about a lit'ty-nnle rate
the a yen t and others observed
from tiie bunches of tire as huge
as "a water bucket leaping from
under one of >tlie ears, that something
was seriously wrong. With
a quick perception of duty the
agent threw up the red board, but
the engine had already pas>ed under
the wliifte signal. The agent
then ran opt and signalled t > a
flagman, who was luckily standing
on the rear platforiii, and in the
meantime a freight Ainin on a siding
blew the danger signal. The
train was brought Jo a st >p ab nit
a half-mile down fin* nark. On
invt stigaf.ing the trainmen were
amazed to find, t hut owing to a li \
becoming heated under one of the
Pullman ears, an axle had been
wrenched in twain right at the box
and some of t lie parts were striking
the track in bounds. It was only
a matter of moments when there
would have beon a in<?si disastrous
wreck ami a matter of wonder that
it had not already occurred. The
crippled car was sid tracked here
and the passengers transferred.
The (rain was crowded with passengers.

Unknown Negro killed by a Train.
Tin* body of mi unknown innn
was found bet? i do the mil road Iraek i
a short distance above town early
Sat urdny morning. George Springs
colored, made the discovery anil Ht
once came to town and reported
the matter. Magistrate Mills summoned
a jury and went up and
held an inquest. There was un- !
inisbiknble evidence Hint 11? old
man had been struck by a passing
train and n verdict in uccoi dunce
with same was rendered. An examination
of the body showed the
back and two libs broken and one;
side of head bruised, and from eireninstances
it is supposed that the
in i*ro was sitting on a crosstio
when struck, lie was about
t?<) years of a^e, in diuui height,
(lark mulatto, bahl headed with
I afire mould on side of head. The
body could not be identified here;
and it, was turned over to Section
Master Warren who had it buried
near the spot where it was found.
Considerable indignation has been
expressed over.the faet that some |
enoin er must have been neglectino
h:s duty in not seei 111; the incident
or probably saw it and was
too cruel-hearted and cowardly to
repott it.
