FELL FROM A BEER KEG.
Herman j. RIGHT Broke His Neck
While Asleep.


While Asleep.
Herman j. RIGHT was found dead on Will
hanson street at an early hour yester-
day morning. The discovery was made
by Joseph Dickinson, night Waterman of
the Savannah Grocery Company's stables
at No. Sl2 Williamson street.
Investigation revealed the fact that
RIGHTS neck was broken. From the posi-
ton in which he was lying it was suppos-
ed that he had gone to sleep while sit
ting on a beer key in front of the stable
door and had fallen from the keg while
asleep and had broken his neck by the
fall.
Coroner Goette was notified and made
an investigation and concluded that these
were the facts. The theory was borne out
by the easily established fact that RIGHT
was intoxicated when last seen the night
before. RIGHT had done some work re-
Gently in unloading cars for the Savannah
Grocery Company, and frequently made
his headquarters at the stables
RIGHT was an upholsterer by trade and
a skilled workman. He had a good posi-
ton at the Central railroad shops at one
time, Dut lost IL on account or MS frequent
sprees. He was an Alsatian by birth, and
claimed to have been in the French cav
airy during the Franco-G German war. He
is said to have been wen educated and to
have been able to speak several languages.
He was So years of age and had been liv-
ing with a friend on the Waters road His
death only adds another to the many re-
cent instances of the evil results of the
excessive use of intoxlcants. No inquest
was considered necessary by the coroner,
as there were no indications of foul play.

MRS. CAMPBELL ONCE LIVED HERE
A savannah side of the Famous New
York VIII Contest.


William Campbell, the millionaire wall
paper manufacturer. died last month in
New York, and his will is now being con-
tested by his daughter, who is not salts
fed with his leaving her $4,000.
Mr. Campbelrs misfortunes in Savannah
are still very vivid in the minds of news
paper men of that day. He and his wife
arrived in this city by steamer from New
York in 1876. He left his wife at a hotel
and started back for New York by rail-
His wife employed lawyers and arrested
her husband at the crossing
of the Charleston and Savan-
nah and Central railroads, and he was
brought back to Savannah The case
came before the courts and the testimony
of Mrs. Campbell was revelation to the
bench and bar Campbell fought the case,
but the court gave his wife alimony and
mulcted her husband in heavy costs.
The final outcome was a divorce, IN
which Mrs. Campbell was given princely
income by the courts. After various adj
ventures she married again, and her hus-
band was relieved of his burden. During
his last sickness Campbell arranged TO
turn over his immense business to two of
his trusted employees at a valuation of
$500, 600, in which they were to pay per
cent, and the remainder of his immense
estate, other than the $4,000 left to his
daughter, he bequeathed to his housekeep-
er, Mrs. Ash, whom he would have mar
ried had the lady been quite sure that her
husband was dead.
Campbell, according to the statement of
his lawyer who drew up the will, in speak
ing of his former wife, said she had been
a perfect devil, and her daughter, who is
now contesting the will, was a chip of
the old block, only worse" The episode
which caused nine days excitement in
this city was a revelation to many people.
