Tobe Turner.
Tobe Turner, the Merriwech°r
Co. murderer, was son'euced to
be hanged last Friday for the min
der of Oapt. Shuttles, in Green
ville in 1881. There had been a
filed of long standing between Tur
ner and Shuttles, and on the day
of the murder they had some
words, and Shuttles started to
leave town but was thrown out of
bis buggy and returned. In pnss
ing through a bar room where
Turner was standing, he was shot
!in the back and almost instantly
1 killed. Turner was prompilv ar
' rested and admitted to bail In
December 1882 he was tried and
convicted, and his case was carri
tl to the Supreme court, when
the judgement of the court was as
firmed. He was re-sentenced last
February, and sines then Ins conn
sel and friends who are influential
aided by many friends, have be
siriged the Governor to commute
his punishment to imprisonment
in the Penitentiary for life. After
a full investigation Gov McDaniel
refused tointerfeie. Thenastrong
appeal was made to respite him.—
This he declined last week to do.
When Turner found that, there
was no Lope of escaping *ilie gal
lows. lie determined to kill him
self. He Mas confined
county jail, and attempted to com
mit suicide by taking poison, but
the physician gave him an antidote
ttiat probably saved h.s life. On
last Thursday the sheriff of Merri
wether with a guard, called for
him and he was taken back to
Greenville to be hung the next
day. |
He was watched carefully to see
I hat he did not carry out his threat
of self destruction, and for this j
purpose he was required to chan .
ge all his clothing so that ho could j
not koep poison concealed about [
his person, but the determined
man was not to be foiled in his
settled resolution not to die on the
gallows, He had a silk handker
chief and with this he accomplish -
ed Lis purpose. A few hours be
fore the time arrived for the txe.
culion the sheriff en ered his cell
and found him dead The hand
kerchief had been tied around his
neck so tightly that a knife blade
could not be inserted between it
and iho flesh; EDd his remains
were delivered to his heait strick
en old mother who was wailing an
opportunity to see him before lie
was hanged.
An immense crowd had gather
ed to witness trie execution, but
when they were informed that he
had commuted suicide, dispersed
after going to gel a view of the
gallows
It had just as well be under

scribed by law through the inter
vention of influential friends.—
Young Turner had been a wil ; !
youth and so strong was the preju I
dice against him that h's counsel
urged that ns a reason why tLe
Governor should interfere but the
public sentiment of tliecouuty de
manded that justice should take
its course, aud he lias gone down
to death at his own ln-nds to avoid
an ignoiD’neous execution.

THfc STATE ROAD
TWO TRAINS DESTROYED.
The history of Rail Reading in
this State’does not furnish a more
frightful chapter of accidents than
occurred on the Western & Atlan
tic Rond the night of the great
storm on the 14th inst,
About two miles above Mariet
ta is a long fill or the road which
is about thirty feet high. This
cm milkment had been washed
out by the immense flood that
pouied down from the high hills
adjacent. About two o’clock a
freight train con ing to Atlanta
left Big Shunty under charge of
S A McDonald, engineer, and Ed
McCulloch fireman, with sixteen
cars loaded with miscellaneous
freights. The train was coming
a good speed when it struck the
waabou'. The engineer felt the
ground give way and attempted
to drive across by putting on a
full head of steam. The engine
r* ached the far bank but the len
der and loaded cars pulled ii back
into the washout. In an instant
the tender and all the cars but the
caboose and one box came piling
: n on top of each oiher in a hor
rible mass, the breaking of irens,
and crash of timber could be
heard above the roar of the
storm.
The engineer and fireman were
crushed beneath this mass and it
was twenty four hours before the
debris could be removed and t heir
remains gathered up for inter
ment. The entire train was a
ci.mple e wreck, and with all the
force the road could obtain to
work it was late next evening be
fore the wreck was so far n moved
that the work of repairing the
road could be begun.
McDonald lived in Atlanta
where he had a wife and six cliil
dren. He had been on that road
for sixteen yenrs and was one of
the most reliable engineers the
road ever had. McCulloch was a
young man and lived in Marietta.
lit> was employed on a switch en
gine in Atlanta and only took the
place of another fireman for that
trip.
W* clip from the Constitution
the following report of the wreck
of a passenger train only four
mile above the scene of destruc
tion above detailed.

wae only about twenty feet and
tiie tender and lgad coach alone
occupied it. But us the mail coipffi
sank down it dtew the baggage
car Wiih it. Th s made the e pen
ing larger and soon the beg -age
cai was iolowed by the smoking
which went partly over. The gap
by this time was iu'ly sixty feet

it is a good thing that they did
not for had they followed oue an
other qumkly the loss of life
would have be* i fearful I Irnn *di
utely after tbe mail coaeli tilted
over the mail matter caught fire,
and i* a second the car was burn
ing brightly. Th* ear vu filled
with mail matter and the fire
made swift head way. The coach
was soon entirely destroyed, an
then the baggage car whicbwas al
so on fire, dropped into its place.
This was also destroyed and then
the smoking car droped down to
the bottom of (be burning pit.
The flames had already caught the
ladies coach and it was entirely
destroyed.
When the engine broke loose
from the tender the automaiic
brakes did ilieir work well and the
cares stopped on ihe opposite side
of the gap. The stop was sudden
and lold all on board that some
thing was wrong. Condutor James
was sitting ia the front of the la
dies’ car and was pinned tight by
the seats being dtawn together.
He called for help, and as soon i s
he was relieved quickly unloaded
his passengers The unloading
was done hurriedly. As the pas
sengers were leaving the cars the
wheels were slowly rolling lor
ward carrying the cars nearer aud
nearer to the teirible pit winch
was growing larger constantly.
Finally everfody was out ami
then the two sleepers were un
coupled. By this time the burr
ing mail couch give plenty of light
and believeuig ttiat the entire train
would burn the two sleepers w ere
pushed back aud the ladies given
seats therein.
The scene presented beggars
description. The burning cars
the cryisg women and the cries
for help from the bursitg cais
all went (o make up the awful tab
leau. As soon as the passeogeis
were removed Conductor James
began to see the extern of the
damage. He soon ascertained
that his engineer and fireman had
escaped death. He found mail
agents, Ed Hills and J. W. Gills—
psie and from them lie learned
that Mr. U. A. Merrill, the mail
weigher, had gone dewn with the
car.
DEATH IN THE FLAMES
To every oce who heard this it
was patent that the mau was dead
that he had been roasted alive.
Mr. Hills said that Mr. Menill
had completed weighing the mails
and had sought the front end of
the car where he laid down and
went to sleep. Aa the car started
in its terrible descent the uiuil
agents csl'ed him and then sprang
out tbe doer into the darkness.
Young A/errill arose as lie was
called but the cate iu the center
of the car brake loose, rolled for
ward and fastened him in the
front end of ttie car where he died
Immediately after the car went
over the lamps fell from their fast
enings into the mail aud soon the
car was in flames. He strugg’ea
hard but his strength w.,s not
sufficient to move the heavy case
which imprisoned him. He called
loudly for help andJiis cries were
distressing to those who heard
them, distressing Aecanse thay
could give him nff relief, Mr.
Merrill was just eighteen years of
age. His father resides on Peters
street just inside the city I’miis
aud is beside himself with grief.
Jlis father is a chaplain in the
United u-ites army, and has been
living in Atlanta" only a short
while. Young Menill had ouly
retentlj entered (lie ra.’-wuy mail
service. He has a brother who
has been a conductor or a Chicago
road for years. His dody Ia t not
yet been recovered. Apurt from
the death of Mr. Merrill the es
cape was miraculous. Mail Agent
Gillespie was wounded in the face
Mp>l Agent /fills was hurt in the
breast. Baggage Master Harkins
had his left arm broken ; Cyrus
Adams, a porter, had his left hand
br”nt, anu Simmons Bucks was
hurt in the breast. Engineer
Everett was also slightly injured.
Notwiihs‘anding Arthur, by ma
nipulating the negro element thro’

“Some folks is just 100 smart to
live," said the old man, as bo puffed
hard at his clay pipe and wiped a
tear from the end of his nose.
“Anybody been trying to swin

“Wall, it looked that way. A
New Yorker came down aud bought

“On what?”
“On milk and butter. He pro

“That looks fair.”
“So it does, end I was ready to
