A H0 RRIBLE DEATH.
GROUND TO DEATH BENEATH THE
IRON WHEELS.

brakeman Carswell Falls From an
Early Morning Freight Train and
Three Trains Pass Over His Body
Before 1t is Discovered-The Body
Out Into Forty Pieces and Scattered
Over 400 Yards OF Track.
Mflledge NJ Carswell, young man who
has been brakeman on the Central rail
road for about two months, lost his life
yesterday in a most horrible manner.
1t seems that Carswell was the brake
man of train No. 20, which arrived in the
city about 80 O'Clock yesterday morning,
and that he was on top of the cars attending
TO his duties when the train reached Mel
drim. This was the last time he was seen
alive.
When the train reached the Charleston
and Savannah junction. about one mile
from the city, he was missed, and the con-
uuctor with two brakemen began a search
for him. They failed to discover his where
abouts, and when the train arrived In the
city at 4:30 o'clock a special engine was
sens out to look him up.
THE HORRIBLE DETAILS.
The first signs of the accident was the
finding of a portion Of q foot near the Four
Mile post, and different portions of his
person were found at short intervals
for about 200 yards He was
completely mangled and cut into small
pieces. the only portions of the head re-
manning intact being the lip and the nose.
1t was a horrible sight.
The remains were brought TO the CITY and
turned over to Coroner Dixon. who held the
inquest yesterday morning and ordered
the remains TO be sent to
the heme Of the deceased, near Wadley,
which was done last night.
RUN OVER BY THREE TRAINS.
10 was an exceedingly difficult matter TO
Recognize any portion of the small bits
brought to the city as that OF a person, and
Coroner Dixon stated that IL was one Of the
worst cases Of the kind he had had ever
seen. Ii Is no wonder, as il was stated
shat the cars of there trains
passed over the body before he was diScov-
cred.
A portion of train No. Sc, which was the
one he was on, must have passed over him,
as his lantern was discovered on one of the
first cars, and train No. As, which is a
freight and passed the spot at 5:35 O'Clock
ger train No. 4, which passed passed
at $50 O'Clock. This was lust
shout daylight, aud as the two
hrst trains had cut the body up 90 badly the
engineer of the passenger train could not
see it. The special went out at 7:3O O'Clock
and returned about $50 O'Clock
CARswELL's GOOD CHARACTER.
Carswell lived just outside OF WadIey. on
Che Central railroad, and was very temper
ate, so 1t is hardly likely that in
temperance could have caused the accident
BE was about 81 years of age and was un-
married. He had only held his position
about two months and the railroad officials
poke very highly of him.
His remains were shipped to his parents
on the train leaving the city at Ss45 O'Clock
last night.

DIR. FALLIGANPs SPEECH.
What the City Officials Have to Say
in Reply.


in Reply.
Politics, especially In municipal affairs,
became much more interesting than usual,
when yesterday the synopsis Of DIR. Falli-
gant's speech, as delivered at Hendy's hall.
was read in the MORNING NEWS.
DIR. Falligant among other things made
some charges against the administration of
Mayor MoDonough. Among other things
he said that the reports made by the mayor
were incorrect. The mayor was asked
whether he had anything to say in reply
yesterday, and In response he said
reply to what DR.. FalIigant
had said As far as city finances were con
cerned the mayor said that DIR. FalIigant
did not make a statement that was correct
The council during his administration had
paid every bill presented. He said that DR..
Falligant evidently did not understand how
bills were paid. For instance bills for De-
cember of one year were often paid in the
next year in January. This was natural
and legitimate, and was something thai
could not be avoided.
Alderman Myers, when asked about
the matter, said that DIR. Falligant
had made statements that were moi
correct. He said that be knew tina
not a single bill that had ever been properly
presented had failed of payment and in sub.
sanitation of the fact ne said that the CITY
had carried over sos, 600 for the last yea,
and it did not look from that that any bill
should be left unpaid, and they were not
| Mr.. Myers said.
1t is but natural that the city Official.
should be indignant at the remarks of DR.
Falligant, and that gentleman will have
lively time explaining what he really die
mean In his speech.
