THE RAILROAD NOT TO BLAME.
Young Davis Death Due to His Own
CareIeSsneSS

Young Davis Death Due to His own
CareIessness.
The coroner's jury which held an inquest
yesterday to inquire into the cause of tho
death of E. p. Davis who died from in
Juries received in an accident at Tybee
Sunday, decided that the accident was due
to Davis own carelessness and that the
railroad company was in no way TO blame
The inquest was held at Coroner Goette's
Office at o'clock. Considerable time was
spent in the examination Of witnesses. The
witnesses examined were r. NJ. Beytagh,
j. e. Bartee, T. J. Brown, Conductor ]. j.
oConnell, Engineer w. NJ Mahany and
others. As the statements Of all the wit
nesses were TO the same effect several wit
nesses who saw the accident were not
placed upon the stand, it being considered
unnecessary to examine any more
Mr.. r. NJ. Beytagh gave a very con-
nected account Of the accident. He was
standing on the platform at the Hotel
Tybee within ten feet of Davis when the
$50 train rolled up. There were seven or
elght coaches to the train, which was not
moving very fast As the train came up
Davis attempted to board a front coach.
he missed IT and the young man who was
with him got aboard the next coach Davis
made second attempt on the coach fol-
lowing. He caught the hand rail with his
left hand, but did not get his feet on the
stepboard. He was then thrown under the
coach in the rear of the front truck of the
coach. The hind truck of that coach and
the forward truck of the next coach passed
over HIS leg. The train stopped before any
more trucks reached Davis and two young
men pulled him out. The train moved the
distance of about car length and a half
after Davis fell. Mr.. Beytagh said that
he saw Davis before the accident and he
was sufficiently under the influence of IL
Quor for it to be noticeable. The accident
he considered, was the result of Davis own
carelessness
Conductor O'Connell said that he was on
the platform and saw Davis fall under the
car. He Immediately jumped aboard the
train and gave the signal for the engineer
to stop Immediately. Engineer Mahany
testified to receiving and obeying this sig
nal. The statements of the conductor and
engineer were corroborated by several wit.
nesses.
The jury was unanimous in its opinion
without discussion. The verdict reads as
follows: THAT the deceased came to his
death by being run over by train Sunday
evening at $50 o clock on Tybee Island
We, the jury, believe that it was purely ar
accident, the result of carelessness on the
part of said Z. z. Davis. We hold the rail.
road employees entirely blameless for the
accident"

MELONS BY THE MILLION.
THIS YEARS GEORGIA CROP EsTI-
MATED At COCO CAR LOADS.

The First Car Load TO BE Loaded Mt
Mcdonald on the Georgia Northern
Railroad TO-day-The First Car
Load This Year Only Two Days
Later Than That of Last Year-The
Shipments to Be at TheiE Hight in
About Two Weeks.
The first carload Of Georgia watermeIons
will be loaded at Mcdonald to-day, onfthe
Georgia Northern railroad, short line
connecting with the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway al Pidcock, the other
side of Quitman. 1t is probable that the
car will 90 west.
Usually Pelham and that section in
Southwestern Georgia comes up with the
first car Of watermelons, and has done so
for the last two or three seasons. This
year, however, it seems a little behind
hand, but now that the movement has
been given a start off, it will grow larger
from day to day until about July l. when
Georgia melons will move at the rate of
200 or 800 cars a day.
The movement of the first car OF Geor-
gia melons to-day is only two days be-
hind what it was last year. The date last
year was July 10, and for all practical
purposes it may be said that the melons
this year are right on time
The only melons that have been moving
so far have been from Florida, along the
line of the Florida Southern railroad, the
Plant systems new acquisition, where
a I
cars of these melons went through sa-
vannah yesterday. while ten cars we're
sent west. From 1000 to 100 melons are
usually loaded in a car, the number de-
pending on the size of the melons.
Georgia will have the average
crop of melons this year, that
Is, so far as the size of the crop is con-
cerned, while as to quality il is expected
that they will be ahead of the average
The reports received at the offices of the
Plant system in this city show that there
are 1900 acres planted along the lines of
that road in Georgia, all in the southwest
ern section of the state. The melons aver
age about a car to two acres, which means
that Georgia Will yield this year about 1000
cars.
The Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way is already getting its cars in readi-
ness for the crop and they are being sent to
every side track in the melon section.
While they come in lots of three or four
car loads, they are forwarded on the fast
through freight trains. but as soon as they
| come in sufficient quantities to justify it,
they will be carried forward in train load
lots on special schedules both to the east
and to the west.
The first car load of Georgia peaches,
which left Savannah Saturday morning
arrived in New York Sunday night, it hav-
ing been carried forward with dispatch
Several requests for cars for peaches have
been sent in to the Plant system offices
and they are being placed on the side
tracks as rapidly as possible.

LOTTIE sSALLs Acquitted.
The Death of Her Brother Due TO an
Accidental CUTTING

Accidental Cutting.
Lottie Smalls. the 1S-year-old negro girl
who was indicted on a charge Of murder
ing her brother jeff smans on March 70,
was tried in the superior court yesterday
on charge of manslaughter. and the jury
brought in verdict OF not guilty after
being out about fifteen minutes.
While the Indictment charged murder,
the state abandoned that charge after
hearing the evidence, and insisted only on
verdict for manslaughter. 1t seems that
Lottie and her brother JEFF had a fuss at
their home near the city. The girl had
knife in her hand at the time, with which
it was stated she had been cutting sugar
cane.
The girl went to her stepfather to com
plain about Jefrs bothering her and at
tempting to whip her with a switch, and
when she went back JEFF knocked her
down in the yard. lie fell upon her and in
falling the knife was plunged into his side
lie was brought into the city and died at
the hospital day or two afterWard. The
only question was as to whether the cut
ting had been accidental through his fall
-
cut him when he fell upon her
Lottie Smalls was defended by w. F.
Slater, Esq, who held in her behalf that
the cutting was accidental. and that she
had no intention whatever of doing her
brother any bodily harm. John Redmond.
the stepfather of the defendant, and her
brother stated that the two had a quarrel
after which they came to him in the field
Lottie had a small knife in her hand. and
JeH had switch. He sent them both
home, after which JEFF threw Lottie down
and was standing over her. As he reached
the house jeff, he said, ran to him with a
knife wound in his breast, crying that Lot
tie had cut him, and he wanted to know
If ne was going to die. He was sent in to
the hospital. where he died after a day
or two. In his opinion Lottie did not in
tend to cut her brother
According to Lydia Smalls, Jeffs wife,
Lottie, and her brother had quarrel about
the two women going to Thunderbolt, and
this being renewed later in the day jeff
slapped Lottie down. She stated JEFF was
cut before he fell, but on the cross exami-
nation did not know whether this was so
or not. She evidently wanted Lottie CON
victed, but the testimony of sevral other
witnesses showed that the cutting was ac-
cidental.
Lottie in her statement told practically
the same story as was given by one or two
other witnesses. She told about the quar-
rel, and Jeffs knocking her down, after
which he fell and in falling the knife stuck
in his side. She said she did not do 1t on
purpose, as she loved her brother and had
no reason for wanting to kill him.
The jury, took two ballots the first being
nine to three in the defendants favor. On
the second ballot the three jurors came
over and she was acquitted.

The Pilots Say They Can Bring Them

Easily All the Way Up the Channel
The following letter from Capt. P.
Hodge of the steamship Accomac shows
what is thought of the Savannah harbor
by the shipping interests, and what prog
ress has been made on the channel.
Steamship Accomac, Savannah, Ga,
June T. 1S95.-Messrs. Strachan & Co.,
Agents, Savannah Dear Sirs-In an
swer to your inquiry as to Why steamship
Accomac had TO come to your port from
Fernandina, Fla, to complete loading her
cargo of phosphate rock, would say that
my vessel could not load TO a greater
draught of water than twenty-one feet
to cross the bar at Fernandina with
safety; whereas the pilots in Savannah
have given me premission to load my
vessel with safety to a draught of twen-
ty-four feet, if l wish to. Yours truly
p. Hodge,
Master Steamship Accomac
The Times-Union had a statement a
day or two ago to the effect that the Ac-
Comac had run aground on Tybee KNOLL
In connection with this letter ii was stat
ed to the shipping agents, that the Ac-
comac was drawing twenty-one feet of
water at the time she entered the Savan-
nah river, and that the reason she ran
aground was that she got out of the chan
mel across the knoll to make way for an
other vessel and to avoid any danger of a
collision. If the Accomac could have
kept in the channel as she could have
done if it had been clear at the time she
could have made the trip without any
trouble on a half tide.
