WONDERFUL STORY.
BODY Cut in Twain. But Lived Some
Time.

CHARLOTTE. n. c.. June 2G.-(Special0
One of the most remarkable instances Of
vitality ever recorded took place here in
the case of William Parsons. While try
ing TO mount the Southern's south-bound
yestibule train between the baggage-car
and the engine-tender he lost his hold and
fell between the trucks. The wheels Of
the baggage-car cut his body in twain,
and the entire train ran over him. AS
soon as the train could be stopped the
crew went back TO pick up the remains.
They found that Parsons was stu alive.
The upper part of the body was on one
side of the rail and the lower limbs were
on the other side. The two parts OF the
body were carried into the baggage-car
separately The wounded man was not
bleeding to any appreciable extent, ana
was perfectly rational. lie, was In great
agony and at times begged those on the
train TO kill him. The accident occurred
AZ Bethel a little station an hour and
halrs run from Charlotte. Parsons was
still alive when the train reached this
place. and Dr. r. l.. Gibbon, the South
ern's surgeon. met him at the depot. The
two parts of the man were placed to-
gether on a cot and he asked that he be
allowed 10 die in the open air. He told
how he and a boy had started from their
country home i'm Caldwell county. 10 en-
list In the army at Columbia. The UNI
fortunate man saw the lower half of his
body removed 10 another part of the
room. and commented upon it. He told
his name and talked very nationally. and
i'm q few moments said 10 the doctor that
he had only a few more minutes 10 live,
and asked that he be given something 10
stop the pain. The doctor administered
an opiate and Parsons became quieter,
and died I'm a few minutes.
Surgeons here say this is the only In
stance on record Of a man whose body
was completely severed above the hips
who lived and was conscious for any APP
preciable length Of time. They say the
severance must have been so sudden that
the arteries contracted were closed, and
prevented his bleeding 10 death.

TIE ENGINEER,s STORY.

THE ENGINEERS STORY.
Mr.. James c. Rice the engineer who
was in charge Of the train that ran over
Nv Nelson, was the next witness. lie
deposed that about IL 40 he was going
down from the Virglnia-street yard WIN
about fifteen cars, bound for Twenty
eighth street "When | got near SeVeh-
teenth street." he said. II saw three gen
tiemen come across the dock 20 go down
by the side of the track. Two OF them
were near together, some five or siX
yards in front OF the other; those III
front seemed to have noticed the ringing
OF my bell, and to be aware OF my APP
proach. They kept entirely clear or the
track. while the one behind did not pay
any attention TO the ringing OF my bell,
and at times walked too close TO the
track. which caused me to blow my whis-
tie to attract his attention. | also APP
piled the air-brake and checked the steam
of the train. After the whistle had Deem
blown several times Mr. Nelson still took
no notice of the approach of the train.
Just about the time he got to the ship
yard crossing he deliberately stepped
right in the track. just in front of the
tender. When I saw him step In front OF
the tender | applied my air-brake and
did all / could 10 stop the train. but as
was descending the grade with heavy
cars behind me the engine was forced
down the hill for some distance. On
stopping I found that Mr. Nelson had
been killed. His body was between tho
tender and the engine, and death must
have been instantaneous" At the time
the tender struck the deceased, the wit
ness said the train was running between
three and four miles an hour.
jackson. the oolored fireman, testified
10 the ringing OF the bell and the blow
ing Of the whistle; also, TO the applica-
ton Of the brakes and the reversing OF
the engine.
J.. r. Shelton, the brakeman. said that
he was on the rear car of the train and
did not see the accident.
W. II. Godsey n brakeman, testified
that he. together with Captain FOwkes,
stood on the front Of the tender. Dir.
Nelson stepped in 'front.' of the engine
when Il was only two or three yards
away from him. Both reached for him
70 save him, # possible.
Captain NJ G. Fowlkes. the conductor.
testified along the same lines. Witness
caught deceased BY the suspenders, but
could not hold him.
Mr.. A. -. Woodward testified thnt the
distance that the body was carried under
the wheels Of the tender was 1876 feet by
actual measure.
