GEORGE P. TURNLEY
Died Yesterday Morning From Accident
Received On Railroad,
FOUND UNCONSCIOUS BY THE TRACK
Nothing Known ot Jost How It Occurred.
Leg Crushed and Head Cut and
Bruised—Died at 10:30.
Death came to George P. Turnley on
•Christmas morning.
He was found lying by the side of the
Southern Railway tracks yesterday morn ■
ing at 4 o’clock by a night watchman of
the road.
Just how the accident happened which
resulted in Turnley’a death is shrouded
in mystery yet, and may never be known.
He was found just where the wagon
road from Lytle’s spring to East Rome
crosses the Southern tracks. The watch*
man who first discovered Turnley saw
that he was mortally wounded, and as
soon as possible he called other men and
the mangled form was carried to the East
Rome depot.
The right leg at the ankle was almost
severed, and about half way between the
thigh and knee the limb was crushed
fearfully. There were two heavy gashes
on the head and the face was seratched.
About nine o’clock the injured man
was carried to Emergency hospital, and
placed on a cot. Drs. McCall and Hoyt
were called in, and shortly afterwards
Turnley regained consciousness. He was
in terrible agony, but bore it without
complaining. He wanted to tell how the
accident occurred, but he was weakened
by the loss of blood, and two hours’ ex
posure to the bitter night, that the
physicians feared to let him talk. So he
died at 10:30 with the secret locked
within his breast, and perhaps it will
never be known how death came to him
in the early Christmas morning.
There are several theories as te how
Turnley met with the mishap. He was
seen by several parties in the city at 11
o’clock Friday night.
He was not drinking and refused
several invitations to drink. He had
told several of his friends that it was
his intention to spend Christmas in
Atlanta.
One supposition is that he went to
East Rome, and boarded the 1:56
m., southbound train, and that he
either fell or was knocked off and un
>, der the wheels. Again he might have
attempted to board this|train when it
slacked up for the C. R. & S., crossing
which is just below where he was
found.
Turnley lay at least two hours after
his accident before he was discovered.
Loss of blood and the exposure to the
intensely cold night lessened his
chances for recovery. The physicians
believed had he been found immedi
ately after the accident and received
proper attention that his life might
have been saved.
Turnley’s body was carried to
Rhudy, Harvey & Co.. undertaking
establishment shortlyafter noon, and
a coroner’s jury empanelled. They
could do little however, as they had
no witnesses were be on hand.
The remains were carried to the
residence ot Mr. W. H. Edmondson
last night. As yet no funeral ar
rangements have been made.
George Turnley was 35 years of age,
and the only son of Dr. and Mrs. P.
L. Turnley. He had been in the nav
al services for many years up to about
three years ago. He had been in every
part 'of the world, and had many
thrilling’ adventures. Last year he
was offered the post of light house
keeper off the coast of Alaska, but de
clined it.
For several months he has not been
doing anything.

UNUSUAL OCCUKSNCE.
Ice Formed on Trolly Wires and Stopped
Cars at 6 O’clock.
Every car on the electric oar line stop
ped at 6 o’clock last evening and went
into the barns.
An unusual occurence for this section
stopped them—something that never
happened in Rome before.
The cold rain and sleet formed an ice
crust on the wires, and prevented the
trolly poles, from taking the current. As
a consequence every car stopped at 6
o’clock.
It is a very common accident in northen
and western cities, but the electric lines
are all equipped with a special trolly
wheel, which cuts the ice off of the
wire. There has never been any
necessity for such equippment here, and

Fifteen Well Known Gentlemen.
W. A. KNOWLES, OF ROME. NAMED

At the Trang—Mississippi Exposi
tion-It Will Be a Great Affair.
Yesterday’s Atlanta Constitution pub
lishes the following:
The men who will prepare Georgia’s
exhibit for the Trans-Mississippi and
International exposition at Omaha next
year, were named by Governor Atkin
son yesterday.
The recent legislature passed a resolu
tion authorizing the governor to appoint
a commission of fifteen men to get up an
exhibit from Georgia. The commission
is composed of the following:
G. B Smith, F. H. Riobardson, J. F,
DeLacey, W. J. Northen, Edwin Brob

Thomas H. Soott, E. F. Blodgett, J. S.
P. Thompson, C. E. Harman, H. M.
Comer, W. A. Kuowlep and General
Ketchum. Governor Atkinson will also
serve as an ex-officio member of the
commission.
The governor made his appointments
after carefhl consideration. He selected
the fifteen whom he knew were in posi
tion to better accomplish the object than
any others. The committee is made up
of the editors of the leading * papers of
the state, to insure the support of the
press; the leading railroad men of the
state are on the commission as they will
make individual exhibits anyway, and
several practical exposition organizers
are on the committee.
Mr. Ed Blodgett, who is now assist
ant postmaster here, was one of the
leading men at the Nashville exposition,
