KILLED BY THE DUMMY.
Mr. Thomas Gilman Run Over and
Frightfully Manglrd.
Among the visitors to the city last
Tuesday was a good looking young
man, neat in appearance, and of seetn-
iDg intelligence. He was observed
late iu the afternoon under the influ
ence of liquor, and after dark he was
still in the city, and it is said called
for a bottle of whiskey, which was de
nied him in one bar-room for the doub
le reason that he wantedit on credit,
and the pwprietor also thought that
he bad enough.
Early on Wednesday morning, the
body of a man was discovered on the
Dummy track, on the north side of
Double Brandies, opposite the resi
dence of Mr. T. W. Turk, frightfully
mangled, almost beyond recognition.
His legs were brokeD, bin stomach
torn open, hi3 liver mashed out and
thrown some distance from his body,
and his head crushed. In his pocket
was a shattered bottle. His broken
watch indicated the hour of 10:15. It
was plain that the 10 o’clock Dummy
for the Asylum had passed over liis
body, and returning had passed over
it again! The body was recognized as
that of Mr. Thomas Gilman, an em
ployee of the Asylum, anil the sjune
young man mentioned above.
About 8 o'clock, a. m., the Coroner,
Mr. Ben Gause, summoned a jury
composed of the following men: Dr.
It. G. Smith, foreman; 4- T. Miller,
Warren Edwards, D. B. Brown, W.
H. Mathis, J. G. Bearden, W. S.
Vaughn, Jacob W. Caraker, W. J.
Vaughan, W. S. Hawkins, J. B. Suth
erland and J. B. O’Quinn. After
viewing the body, Dr. J. A. Callaway
inakinn the post mortem examination,
the jury adjourned to meet at the
Court House at 12 o’clock, M.
The jut y met at t’ e aj p fluted time
atjd examiued about a dozen witness
es. Conductor Bass of the Dummy
testified that the 10 o’clock trip to the
Asylum was made on Tuesday night,
backing.out as usual. He stood in
the door with liis lantern in his hand,
watching out, and saw nothing on
the track. Engineer Rqutitree tes
tified that lie did not notice pacing
over any obstruction. Other witness
es testified that Thomas Gilman was in
the city after dark, and started home
in an intoxicated condition. After a
full investigation the jury returned
the following verdict: “W« the jury
find that Thomas Gilman, while intox
icated, came to his death by being run
over by the Dummy on its way to the
Asylum on the night of the 10th of
February, 1881.”
The Milledgeville and Asylum rail
road was put in operation in Septem
ber 1888, and this is the first serious
accident that has befallen it.
Mr. Gilman, was buried Thursday
morning in the city cemetery. He
was 32 years of age. He leaves an
aged mother and several brothers and
sisters to mourn his death.

At a meeting ol the Asylum Char

following preamble and resolutions
were unanimouslv adopted, viz:

Asylum, Ga., Feb. 11, 1891.
The asylum has lost one of its at

With strong emotions of grief, we

LECTURE OF PROF. DERRY.
History' resposes on authentica
ted facts as proved by living wit
nesses or written records. To gath
er and digest such material de
mands critical and painstaking
investigation carried on with as
much freedom from prejudice as
possible, by men qualified to see
and accept the fucts of politics,
society and religious life just as
they really’ are. This task has been
made difficult in our own country
by the acrimony of party strife, the
overwhelming mass of new materi
als and fresli discoveries launched
upon us continually, and the mate
tendency of a free and vivacious
people to deal in exaggeration of
former or passing events. In order
to rescue the important facts of our
own history from oblivion, to sift
out facts from traditions, to arrange
these facts under the discriminat
ing eye of trained observation and
to teach aright the vital lessons that
may be drawn from them, Prof.
Joseph T. Derry has taken the lec
ture field, and, as a participant in
the struggle for the maintenance
of Southern rights and Southern
manhood, being at 1 lie same time,
gifted with the observation of the
conscientious chronicler, his lecture
on the Confederate Soldier, on the
March, in Camp, and on the Field,
could not fail of being just what liis
large audience at the College chap
el expected. In a few coyiplimen-
tnrv remarks President Dynes in
troduced Prof. Derry, and for an
hour and a half the historian enter
tained, amused and instructed his
large audience, and all without the
slightest draft on Fiction. The
views were good, the selection ex
cellent, and the description interest-
ing. the old “Vets” in the au
dience soon got “Beer Rabbit” out
of his stump and the yell began in
camp. Then they- were breaking
camp or bivouac and marching
on to Washington. What danger
ous sheep and pigs, chickens and
geese pursued our poor Vets and
tried to bite them as they invaded
the yards and fields. How the good
chaplains of regiments resisted the
pigs anil the deyil but succumbed
to the savory- gravy. And now the
scene changes. There go the or
derlies with dispatches. The long
roll beats; the rally sounds; Fall
in! Colonel: You are ordered by
Gen. Jackson to capture that bat
tery. Now boys! For “The girl
you left behind you.” Boom! Swish
e-e-p-i-n-g, Forward March! Charge!!
Hurrah. Well, it -was all there.
Thank you Prof. Derry. We lived
it all over in imagination but care
not to realize it again. We join you
in your thanks to God that our
country is again u grand and glo
rious Union.
