Negro Found Dead.

John King, a negro some eighteen or nineteen years of age. was found dead in his house near the Valley Creek bridge. this side of the Estelle cotton mills. at an early hour last night. At first it was with. but an investigation proved the fact that he had died from natural causes. 1t seems that he and his mother lived in a little cabin near the bridge His mother was one of the States wit nesses against the three men in jail for throwing the old negro man over the biuff and killing him some time ago, and 1t was probably due to this fact that foul play was suspected. The mother of the boy found dead this morning has been i'll for a long time with typhoid fever and was not able to come to the preliminary trial of the three white men. although Justice Lloyd sent a hack after her. A week or ten days ago the mother of John King was moved into the city by some of her relatives, so that she could re- celve better attention. but the boy was left in the cabin to fight the battle of life as best he could It developed this morning that the City Physician. pr. Ro-
 gan, had been attending on the sick hoy. but his surroundings were such that he could not successfully battle with the typhoid fever and he had to surrender.
 It is not known whether he had any rela- tives in the house to wait on him, but the suppositlon is that he was looked af- ter by the negro inhabitants of the neigh borhood in which he resided.

Killed While Asleep.

north bound train on the Southern
 ran over and killed a young white man by the name of Strother Davis at Walker Springs, on the Mobile and Birmingham division of the Southern. Walker Springs is just below Jackson. The throttle was being manipulated by Engineer Wilson, one of the safest best engineers in the employ of the road. It was about 10 o'clock at night when the engine struck the sleeping man. Engineer Wilson saw him lying on the track and did his best to stop the engine before the ponderous wheels rolled over the body, but without avail Wilson succeeded in bringing tke train to a halt about hundred feet be- yond where Davis was lying. When they went back they found the young man, who was about twenty or twenty-one years old. dead. Both his legs had been crushed of just below the hips and one of his arms had been cut off also. The train men picked up the body and brought
 1t to Selma, where it was placed III a coffin and shipped to Walker Springs. A bottle of whiskey was found near the lifeless body of the young man. It IS said that he had been to a barbecue tfat day and was on his way home when he was overcome by the whiskey and lay down on the railroad track to sleep it ( fl.
