catch himself. his arm went down into
the centrifugal machine, literally tear
ing the limb out of its socket, and
tossing him violently around so as to
tear his ribs loose AND lacerate his
side in a frightful manner, causing
death in about two hours.
The terrible force of the wringer's
revolutions threw the young mans
body on to another similar machine
at work nearby, from which the lacer-
ated and bleeding victim was quickly
extTfcated. more dead than alive.
A particularly sad feature of the ac-
cident is that young Changers wiaow-
ed mother, who lost her residence in
the recent Fort Brooke fire, had just
settled her affairs here and left last
night for Jacksonville, to make a

white and colored children shall be
maintained. and also in accord with
the statutes of Kentucky prohibiting
marriage between white persons and
negroes, and requiring railroad COM
panies to provide separate coaches
for white and colored passengers.

had passed at the last session OF the
