NEGRO BEHEADED BY A TRAIN.
STEPS FROM HIS NOON REST TO 4
HORRIBLE DEATH.

Knocked Down by a Moving Car lie
Grabs the End of 1t and Makes a
Heroic struggle to Save Himself
Losing His First Hold He Grabs
the Brake Beam, But Is Thrown
Across the Tracks with His Head
over One Rail and "A Foot over the
other.
Fernandina, Fla. June IA most hor-
rble accident occurred here this morning
al the Florida Central and Peninsular
Railroad Company's phosphate elevator,
which resulted in one of the laborers be-
ing completely beheaded.
Allen Alexander, (colored). was the man,
who suffered this horrible death.
1t was during the dinner hour, when an
extra shift of cars was being placed, and
he had taken his seat just across the track
under some of the cars which were on
another track. where it was shady, out of
the dust from the phosphate. When he
finished his rest he got up and started
across the track just in front of him. He
never noticed or heard the long string
of cars backing into the elevator tracks
uutiI II was TOO late. a car struck MIN,
and ia falling he grabbed the end of the
car and attempted to hold himself up, but
his feet caught and pulled him down I'M
der the trucks. AS he fell the last time he
caught the brake and attempted to drag
himself along, but as he was a very large
man his body could not pass under the
brake which threw his body around,
throwing the head over the track between
the wheels. The car passed over his
neck, completely severing his head from
his body. One of his feet was also crush
ed.
1t was terrible sight, but many men
and women went down to see 1t.
When the train hit the unfortunate man,
Col. Balantyne was standing near and
made every effort to signal the engineer
to stop but the man was dead before it
could be stopped. Alexander was a native
of South Carolina, had lived in Fernandna
about ten years, and had worked at the
elevator ever since its construction, seven
years ago. He leaves a widow and five
children, three of whom are daughters
and grown.
Coroner W. A. Hall swore in a Jury,
who rendered the following verdict: That
the deceased came to his death by his own
carelessness."

DAVID ). HALEY DEAD.
He Was One of the state's Best
known Politicians.

Griffin, Ga, June IA. EARLY this morning
the sad news spread rapidly over the city
that Hon. David J. Bailey, sr had died
at his home in West Griffin at $50 o'clock,
after a lingering illness of several years.
Col. Bailey was a most remarkable
man. He was admitted to the bar in
early life. and before he became of age,
was elected to represent Butts county,
his home, in the legislature. Not being
qualified he declined but was reelected at
the age of q, when he served several
terms. He was then elected to the state
Senate, where he served as president of
that body.
In 1859. Col. Bailey moved to this city,
where he was not only leader in his pro-
fession' but in politics. and under that
flag he often defeated the wings for the
legislature and Senate always filling the
position with honor and credit. In 1853,
he was elected to congress over Hon.
Robt T. Trip of Monroe county, the rep
resentative of the wing party, and was
reelected at the expiration of the first
term with no opposition.
He was member of the secession con-
vention that voted Georgia out of the IN
ion IN 1851, and was in due time chosen
colonel of the Thirtieth Georgia Regiment.
which position he filed with distinction
and honor
In 1887, after he bad virtually retired
from politics, he was induced to make
the race for representative in the legisla-
ture from Spalding county, and was
elected.
In May, 1890, Col Bailey was stricken
with paralysis, and has ever since been
confined to his bed. During his long years
OF suffering no murmur has escape his
lbs.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon at O'Clock from the Episcopal
church.

GATE CITY GUARD CASE.
The Rival Factions of the Company
Agree on "a Compromise.

The Rival Factions of the Company
Agree on n Compromise.
Atlanta, Ca, June 1.-THE row between
the old unenlisted Gate City Guardsmen
and the active enlisted company came up
in court to-day, but the case was com
promised. The company owns some valu-
able property, and the conduct of its bust
ness affairs was considered of importance
to both parties concerned. Judge Lump
kin and Judge Gambler have been mem
bers of the organization, and were dis
qualified and Judge Beck had the case
before him in chambers.
Several weeks ago, as will be remem-
bered, petition was filed by Capt ]. f.
Burke and others against the trustees of
the Gate City Guard. The trustees are
composed of the commissioned officers of
the company and three other members
This petition alleged that the old guards
had been refused the privileges of the
armory, that they had not been allowed
to vote and that the active members Of
the company had decided to conduct the
affairs Of the company without comforting
with the members of the old company
After recitng a number of sensa tional
allegations, the petition closed by request
ing that receiver be appointed by the
co'~t ord that tho active members be re-
strained from carrying out their plans
as had been announced
To this petition the active members filed
a red-hot answer, alleging that the old
guard had been treated with every con-
sideration that was possible, in view of
the fact that they were not regularly en-
listed men and had not paid their dues
into the treasury. All of the allegations
in the original petition were denied and
the answer stated that the old guard had
not been treated discourteously and were
represented at the January meeting, in
which the things now complained of were
transacted
