ORANGEBURG MAN LILLED.
WHITE MAN MEETS HORRIBLE
FATE NEAR AIKEN.
Joe Maroney Found Beside Railroad
Track Monday Morning Near
MOntmOrenci.

Aiken, June 17.-With his should
er crushed literally to pieces and a
fearful hole in his skull, crushed bone
particles and pieces of felt hat rest
ing against the brain, Joe Maroney, a
35-year-old white man, residing at
Oakwood, in this county, was found
early this morning in an unconscious
condition beside the Southern Rail-
road tracks. about six miles east Of
this place and one mile east of Mont
morenci.
The wounded man was brought to
Aiken and all day local physicians
labored faithfully to preserve his life.
The bone particles and hat felt rest
ing on the brain surface were re-
moved successfully, when it became
apparent that the man had also suf-
fered a fracture at the base of the
brain. For this there was no RENE
dy, and he died about o'clock this
afternoon.
The physical facts in the case, the
position of the body, the location of
the wounds and the train schedules
make it appear that he was sitting
evidently on cross tie, jutting from
the track, and that the so-called
midnight train" from Augusta, pass
ing here about 12.45 at night, struck
him and knocked him off.
It has been stated by reliable par
ties that Maroney was seen in Aiken
yesterday afternoon, under the inf1u-
ence of alcohol, if not actually intoxi-
Gated. From infancy the dead man
had been subjected, it is declared, to
periods of partial blindness. The cor
oner's inquest was begun tonight, but
continued until tomorrow evening in
view of the absence of some persons
deemed material witnesses.
The dead man is survived by wife
and one son. The remains will be
shipped to Orangeburg tomorrow for
interment
