a CoLoRED MAN TORN II FRAG-
~ MENTs BY A TRAIN.

Horrible Death of a Music Teacher on
the Central Railroad-His Body Cut
in 5hreds and Scattered Along the
Crossties for Over Mile-A Headless
and Arnless Trunk First Found.
The most sckening accident that has
probably ever occurred in Chatham county
occurred on tho Central railroad some time
between s o'clock Monday afternoon and 8
O'Clock yesterday morning.
A colored man was torn literally into
fragments. his body being divided into fifty
seven pieces and scattered along the ties for
more than a mile.
The man is supposed 20 have been a col
ored music teacher named Gray, Of Savan-
nah be had besn out 10 Woodvills Mon
day, and left there for Savannah about
O'Clock Monday, promising to return at
night 70 teach band. That was the last
seen Of Gray alive.
About 3 O'Clock yesterday morning En-
gineer Powers Elkins, Of a pusher, discov-
cred the headless and armless trunk of man
on the track near the three-mile post He
did not disturb il, but on his return repor ted
the matter to the railroad authorities.
Coroner Dixon was notified and went TO
the scene to investigate the case.
~~@N SA~N PtOt bAOu u NHo lI1u was lOuIu 81
the lwo-mile post, where the right hand
was picked up. Twenty feet further on
was the head, as neatly severed as if it had
been done with a knife. By the head was
the dead mans hat and vest. From there,
for quarter of a mile on, small pieces of
the body were picked up. Near the three
mile post, wedged in a switch frog, was the
trunk, with nearly all the organs torn out.
A little distance from the body lay the
heart and lungs. aud just beyond these the
left leg from the thigh to tine knee.
Proceeding a short distance further Cor
oner Dixon found the remains
OF the left leg and foot, aud
nearly the right leg entire.
Beyond that was the right arm, without
the hand, lying on the right side Of the
track, and almost opposite on the left side
of the track was the left arm and hand
The crossaes along which the unfortunate
mans body had been dragged were stained
with blood, and the black streak could be
distinctly seen for over a mile.
Coroner Dixon said 1t was the most re.
voting and at the same time most mysteri-
Gus case that had come under his notice
since he has been coroner. He can't under
stand how the man could be
badly torn up, aud the only theory he al
vances Is that Gray must have either fallen
OF the night passenger train or attempted
TO jump off and fell under the trucks. An
inquest was postponed until some further
information OF the accident can be OBJ
tanned.
