H, D, RANDOLPH
LOSES HIS LIFE
DECEASED ONE OF THE MOST
POPULAR MEN IN BRUNSWICK;
HONESTY HIS POLICY.
Mr. Horace B. Randolph, one of the
oldest and best known residents of
Brunswick was killed by a Brunswick
and Birmingham passenger engine yes
terday morning about 7:30 o’clock.
The accident occurred about a hun
dred yards north of where the B. & B.
crosses the old Darien road.
The story of the accident as told by
an eye witnessappearing before the
coroners jury, is, indeed a strange one.
It seem that Mr. Randolph left
Brunswick to spend the day hunting
he was not seen by Engineer Flint un
til it was too 1 ate. The unfortunate
man stepped on he track from (lie left
man stepped on the track from the etlf
side and before the engineer coin.- re
verse the engine Mr. Randolph was
struck by the eow-eateher and knock
ed several feet from the track.
His body was badly mangled anil
death was iustantantancons. Besides
the engineer and fireman, Messrs. Cab
aniss and W. S. Taylor were also on
he engine. Mr. Taylor testified be
fore the coroners jurythat he did not
see Mr. Randolph until after the acci
dent. Mr. Cabiniss, however, said he
,he saw him step on the track but he
was only a few yards from the engine
and it was impossible to avoid strik
ing him.
Dr. Hugh Burford testified that Mr.
Randolph was somewhat deaf and fur
ther stat ed that he once advised him
to go to a physician in Atlanta for
treatment, which he did.
As soon as the accident occrred Cor
oner Jennings was notified and sum
moned the following juryt T.B. Fergus
son, J. H. Pollnll, H.R.Symons, O. W.
Cole, W. Mitchell anil J. N, Davis. After
visiting the scene of the accident, the
jury adjourned until 8 o’clock last
night, at which hour they met In Dr.
G. W. Blanton’s office, over Smith's
drug store, and heard ail the evidence
in the case, and at 11 o’clock rendered
the following verdict:
“We, the jury, find that the deceas
ed, Horace B. Randolqh, came to his
death by oeing struck by outgoing
train No. 9 on the B. & B. railroad,
and from the evidence before us, we
consider that the engineer, W. B. Flint,
did all in his power to prevent the ac
cident under the circumstances.
“H R. Symons, Chairman."
The body of the unfortunate man
was brought to the city and turned
over to Undertaker Moore, who pre
pared it for burial. The funeral wiij
occur at 10 o’clock this morning from
the McKendree Methodist church The
following gentlemen will act as pall
bearers: Judge Horace Dart, Dr. J.
A. Butts, Messrs. H. R. Symons, H. J.
Read and A M. Caldor.
There was not a more popular man
in Brunswick than Horace Randolvh,
and the news of his unfortunate ac
cident caused a sorrow over the city.
For years le has been a conspicuous
figure in Brunswick, serving as city
jailer for a long period. He was uni
versally popnlar among our citizens
generally, and was also a prominent
Knight of Pythias, which lodge will
attend his funeral today in a body, to
pay their last respects to their unfortu
nate brother.
Mr. Randolph leaves a wife and two
children, Mrs. L. W. Beach and Mrs.
W. J. Shackleford, to mourn his loss.
