KILLED ON THE RAIL.
Ellison Henderson Went to Sleep on the
Track and Train Cuts eff His Head.

Ellison Henderson, a negro brick
mason, was run over and killed Satur-
day night by the A. G. L. freight
train No. SO, while be was lying in
drunken sleep on the track near the
Cotton Mill. The top OF his head
was crushed and his right hand cut
off just below the wrist. The accident
was not known for several hours sub
sequent to the arrival of So, when the
body was discovered lying beside the
track, near the small trestle at the
junction of the Northwestern Railroad
with the Atlantic Coast Line.
Coroner Flowers held an inquest
Sunday morning and ascertained the
following facts:
Henderson, who had been working,
at Dillon, came home on the $50 pas
senger. Saturday night, but being
drunk and asleep did not get off at the
depot. The conductor noticed him
asleep just after the train left the
depot and awakening him inquired
where he was going. Henderson relied
that he was going to Sumter. He was
told that the train had just left the
depot, and he asked to be put off.
The conductor informed him that he
could not back the train to the depot,
but would carry him to the next stop,
Cane Savannah, without charge.
Henderson asked that the train be
stopped to let him get off, as he did not
want to walk all the way back from
Cane Savannah. The tran was stop
ped near the Northwestern Junction
and Henderson got off, and as he did
so the conductor warned him to look
out for the small trestle near which
he alighted. The last that the con-
durctor saw Of him he was standing
beside the track where he got off.
1t is supposed that he lay down
right there with his head and hand on
the rail and that when SO came in
from Columbia some time later in the
night he was run over and killed.
Coroner Flowers had the body search
ed and found S16 go in his pockes, and
this sum he turned over to Hender-
sons wife this morning.

BRUTAL MURDER IN CLARENDON.
Robert Struck Waylays Warren Full
more and Shoots Him in the Back.

News of brutal murder in the edge
of Clarendon County about nine or ten
miles south of here was received
Monday afternoon.
The killing, which was cold blood
ed and brutal affair, was the result of
family row between negroes, Warren
Fillmore, the dead. man, being the
father-in-law of his murderer. It
seems that Robert Stakes, who mar
ried the daughter of Warren Fillmore,
had been living with his father in Law,
but in consequence of a row, had been
made to leave the place Monday morn
lug by Fillmore. but in the afternoon
he returned and turned Fulmore's
stock out Of the lot into the corn field.
Then he concealed himself in some
bushes beside the road leading from
Fulmore's house to the 6del, and when
Fillmore passed on his way to drive
the stock out Of the field he shot him
in the back with a gun loaded with
buck shot. Although terribly wound
ed Fillmore lived for two or tire
hours after being shot. Stukes is said
to have left the neighborhood imme-
diately and probably will escape ar
rest, as he had long start.

The heavy rain Wednesday, occurring
just as the evening trains arrived at
the depot, emphasized the need of a
train she'd or some better protection
for the travelling public than is afford

alighting from the trains were drench
ed before they could reach the depot,
or transfer from one train to another.
The ground between the tracks and
between the depot and tracks was
flooded with water. The umbrella
shed is far more ornamental than use
