A STRING or ACCIDENTS.
On the Goth instant, Trial Justice Nunnery,
acting as coroner, held an inquest on the body
of negro, name unknown, who was killed by
being run over by freight train of the c. c..
& A. Railroad near Smiths Turnout, in this
county. The facts as developed at the inquest,
seem to be that the deceased, who, it was
subsequently learned was from Winnsboro,
was either working his way as brakeman or
endeavoring to steal Il ride on the train, and
fell from the top of a car, the train passing
over his body, badly mangling it and causing
instant death. The accident occurred after
night and was not discovered by those con-
nected with the train on which he was riding.
Last Friday, on the plantation Of Walker
Burris, in Bullock's Creek township, three
year old child of Moses Burris, colored, was
struck by lightning and instantly killed.
