Webster Wimberly was the victim of
a terrible accident early yesterday morn
ing.
That be was not killed outright and
bis body ground Into a shapeless mass.
Is a mystery.
It was the same old story “asleep on
the track,” and that the terrible results
of the accident were not even more ap
palling Is well-nigh Inexplicable. Wim
berly Is 23 years old, and has been em
ployed alternately by the S., A. * M.
and the Central railroads In the yards In
this city.
It Is not known which road ho was
working for yesterday, but the accident
which came so near costing him his life
occurred on the Central road, opposlto
the guano factory.
Wlmborly was walking along the
tracks between threo and four o'clock
yesterday morning, when becoming
tired he sat down upon the end of a
cross-tie to rest.
The rest thus secured will last him a
long time, if it does not result in a per
manent “tie-up.”
As he sat there in the early hours of
the morniDg his eyes grew heavy, and
ere he knew it his head fell forward be
tween his knees and lie Blept. How long
he slept he does not know, but he dis
tinctly recollects his sudden awakening.
This took place in a ditch about
twonty feet from tlie railroad track, and
came upon him all in a heap.
While Wimberly slept a fast freight
came thundering down the road, and,
notwithstanding the signals which are
always whistled at this particular spot,
he know nothing until the entire train
had gone by and was fast disappertng in
the distanco.
From the nature of the terrible wounds
indicted the supposition Is that the man
was struck by tlie'steps of the caboose
on the rear of the train. The ugliest of
his wounds is a frightful out, nearly
foot in length and several Inches deep,
which extended along the back, beneath
the left shoulder. Besidos this his left
arm was frightfully mangled, the splin
tered bono being driven through tlie
skin, presenting a ghastly spectaelo.
Uangled nigh unto death as he. was,
Wimberly managed to drag himself to
his home, whore medical attention was
promptly rondored.
Dr. G. T. Miller responded to the call
and the wounded man was soon made as
comfortable as the nature of his wounds
would admit. His injuries were terrible
indeed, but Dr. Miller believes that,
with careful attention Wimberly will
pull through all right.
There is no doubt but that tho acci
dent was the result' of tlie man's own
carelessness, and, tlierofore, the road
Is In no wise to blame thorefor. Engines
entering or leaving the city always give
the required whistlo signals at the road
crossings there, and Wlmborly was cer
tainly a heavy sleeper not to havo heard
those blasts.
* At any rate, should he recover he will
doubtless select a softer and safer bed
than a cross-tie in future when he feela
like snoozing.
As I am going to mar
ket on August 1st and
will need money, and
in order to get as much
as possible by that
time, have concluded
to reduce my stock.

The excursion to be given by the S.,
A. A M. railroad on July 31, next Fri
day morning, will be the last opportuni
ty for cheap rates to Savannah and
Tybeo, and all of those who have not
already taken advantage of former ex
cursion! ahould prepare for the last
grand trip to the ocean.
Those who bare been will In all prob
ability go again, and there la no need to
picture the pleasures of the trip to
them. To those who have not been
there is a rare treat In atore.
The committee who will have charge
of the excursion are making every
arrangement for the comfort and pleas- navt 1 dava
uro of those who will go. Arrangements ut V®
have bcon made at the Ocean House, on
Tybeo, which commands • grand view
of the ocean, where the beach Is fine
and bathing is of the best.
The Sam people know the wauts of
the people of Amerlcus.and points along
their lines, r.nd are making unusual
effort this summer to accommodate
them.
The special train will leave Amerlcus
at 8.-20 next Friday morning and will
reach Savannah at 0 p. m. This will
give the excursion party good time to
get out to Tybeo to supper, or those who
so desire can remain over night In the
city and go down next morning.
The bathing season is at its height and
all who go on the excursion aro promised
a grand time.
