AN HORRIBLE DEATH.
George Fowler, a Madison Negro
Killed by an S. A, L.
VcMibule.
On Inst Tuesday about~J2:3o
o’clock, the north bound Vestibule
'on the G o<fe N railroad just be
low Five Fork*, ran over George
Fowler, col. who was lying on
tbs tract drunk and asleep, and
literally tore him into fragments.
His head wa entirely severed
from the body and was foupffcsev
eral feet from hip. His liver wpis
Uw re worn off n(id in on* of them
his heart was foffud. Out arm
was out off and the fingers nUn
fiom the hantl of the same arm.
Every bo lit in hict body wns
bro’ttn,'kbjthftt ho could bo pm
ill a hamper basket. Part of bin
bruins were in his hat and the
balance scattered along the track.
When Ust seen he had on two
pair of sock-, and when he pit**
found every particle of clothing
was off (,f him except one pair of
socke. Glass was scattered around
where his bottle was broken.
Coroner Smith empamieled a
jury and the investigation brought
out the fact that lie w as dri 11k and)
lay down on the track and wept
went to sleep, and on account of
it being on a curve in the road it
was impossible for the engineer to
see him in time to stop his train.
fhe verdict of the jury was that
ha cants to his death by being
run over by the G V &• N
Ji)i, but, m blame .was attached
to the road.
The authorities of the road took
charge of the remnius.

we may see many examples of sculp

bios and monkish .leyonds, mostly
takeii from tho B\stiaiHc3 df the
middle acres. Tho qn- ■. .ion is, Were
they intentinnnily harmonious and
therefore satiric, or werethey mere,
ly tho expression of a naive simplici
ty, such as xyp firm sometimesin tbs
drawings of children? Amt was ilie
comedy a part of the art ist’s scheme,
oris humor, ns distinct from buf
foonery, modern souse mid .1 crea
tion of modern times? Take, for in
stance, the well known carving at
Christchurch of a cowled fox preach
ing from n pulpit with a small cock
at his side.
May not this he symbolic of the
enemy, that old fox, vesting himself
in the disguise of a holy monk In
order to daceivo tho very elect, but
prevented from so doing by the
warning voice of the cock? Is not
this a more probable reading than
tho idoa that a monkish sculptor
would venture to satirize his fol
lows by depicting them ns falxes in
the religious habit? Aud may not
tin . preaching to a flock of geese
s>n. 1 no folly of the multitude
if. not discovering tho enemy
tin-ovum, tho disguise of a oowl?
