THE HORRIBLE » EATH 0F
TOM JEFF ELLIS.
Whose Mangled Body Was Found on
the Central Ball road Track
Saturday. Night.
About ten o’clock Saturday night
the body of Tom Jeff Eilto, a young
man living about seven miles north¬
west of town, was found by some
factory men lying on the Ceutral rail¬
road track midway between the two
cotton factories. Half of the body
was found on one ride of the trade,
and the other half some distance
away on the other side, the body
having been cut in twain and in ad¬
dition one foot cut off. A guard was
left with the body while others came
to town to make arrangements for
its removal. Shortly afterward the
guard was fired upon by unknown
parties and the fire was returnsd,
some twenty shots being exchanged
without nnyjtnown effect.
But HStle of this was known until
Sunday morning, when tins circula¬
tion of the news created a general ex¬
citement. The coroner came in and
a jury was empannelled. A post
mortem was held by Drs. Taylor,
Collier and Kelly, sueij who found no in¬
juries except as might have been
inflicted by tbs train running over
the unfortunate young man. It was
elicited that Ellis had been on tbeex-
cursion to Coiambus and had re¬
turned somewhat the worse for
liquor. The supposition* in the case
were that he had either started home
up the railroad track and was not in
a condition to avoid thei train; or
that he was killed, presumably by
some negroes who might have had a
grudge against him, and was placed
upon the track to avert suspicion
from the crime. The latter suppo¬
sition is strengthened by the fact
that his coat was found uninjured
some distance from the body, as if he
had taken it off in order better to de¬
fend himself unincumbered; and by
the firing upon the guard of the
body. It to weakened by the lack of
sufficient evidence of any wound that
could have caused death before the
passing over of the train. But there
was a wound on the face and head
that might have stunned the man so
that he-conld have been laid on the
track in readiness for the train.
The body was taken to the home
of the boy’s widowed mother, Mrs.
Mary E. Ellis, for interment. The
examination was adjourned until
yesterday evening at four o’clock,
when the testimony of the engineer,
fireman and conductor of the train
was taken.
Yesterday afternoon tbe engineer
of the train, E. W. Waterhouse, testi¬
fied that he did not see Ellis’ body on
the track, because his attention and
that of the fireman were attracted by
a stone thrown at the engine about
a hundred yards this side of the place
of the accident. He knew nothing of
the accident at the time, but after¬
wards found flesh and blood on the
water pipe, the rim of the back driv¬
ing wheel and the brake block. The
way the body was cut and mashed
the man must have been lying on his
back half way across the track. If
he had been sitting On the track he
would have been knocked into the
centre and torn all to pieces. The
train was running twenty-five miles
an hour.
G. C. Harnesberger, the fireman,
saw three men beyond the S.’G. & N.
A. RR. throw the rock referred to,
and heard somebody halloa from the
wagon road at the Same time. He
didn’t know whether the parties were
whit* or colored.
Conductor Tinsley didn’t know
Ellis, but testified that there were no
white passengers for Sunny Side.
W. M. Holman testified that he had
examined tbe place closely and found
very little blood, not at all like such
au accident would naturally-make.
The body was not moved for some
time, so that no one could tell wheth¬
er it wa* warm or cold at the time.
There was further evidence of a
quarrel between Ellis and some ne¬
groes on the excursion train, just a
few hours before his death.
After a short consultation the jury
found the following verdict:
We, the jury of empaneled Tom Jeff and Elito, sworn de¬
in the case

death by being run over 13, by Saturday train on

An Ktoquent Sermon.
All those who were so fortunate as
to attend the Baptist church last
Sabbath morning, enjoyed a rare
treat in tbe sermon by Rev. C. V.
Waugh. He preached from the text*
“Flee to the strong hold, ye prisoners
of Hope.” This learned divine has
been so closely confined, both by
bis duties in the school room,and his
prolonged ill health, that the people
of Griffin have had few opportunities
of listening to him, but they found
him to'be a most graceful and beau¬
tiful orator as well, an eloquent and
earned man.
It seems almost sacreligious to touch
with profane hands, this powerful
sermon, but the words with which he
pictured the soul led on and on by
the alluring vistas spread before en¬
raptured eyes by the hands of Hope,
and the Siren tones with which she
whispers “Tomorrow! Tomorow,”
—were exquisite in their beauty, and
only excelled by the clearness and
force with which he depicted the
darkness and.deeolateness of life when
Hope spread her airy wings and flew
away—leaving the soul overpowered
by failure and death- Then tame in
thrilling tones the.words “Flee to
the stronghold!” Here he dwelt in
glowing language upon the only
safety for the dtoparing soul of man
—the cross of Christ.
Iti was one of the most eloquent
sermons ever delivered in Griffin.
