MIDNIGHT TRAIN KILLS NEGRO Mangle J Remains of Tom MoseJey Found on Track Sunday Morning . Just Beyond Navassa. The mangled remains of Thomas Moseley, colored, 28 years of age, were found on the W. C, & A. rail road track, about a mile beyond Na vasa Sunday? morning. Moseley lives near where he was killed and was on his way, presumably, from Wilming ton. The presumption is that he , be came tired, , sat down on the track, went to sleep and was bh uck by the late passenger train from Florence about .11:30 o'clock. There was an ugly hole in bis head, the right should er was crushed and several ribs wero broken. The finding of the remains was re ported to Dr. T. V. Moore, of Phoenix, coroner of Brunswick: countyaad he summoned a jury composed of Messrs. S. Kirby, A. B. Williams, I. O. Wil liams, Thos. Davis, Luther Cody and Wm. Davis, to inquire into tbs circum stances of the death. They found no evidence of foul play, and returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by being run over by a railway train. The remains were turned over to the mother and father of Moselev for burial. The Saturday night train from Flor ence which ran over the negro was a heavy one", one or more private cars of A. Cr L. officials having been attach ed to the locomotive in addition to the regular passenger coaches. An autop sy showed that the negro's death was instantaneous. RAISED UP THEIR CHIEFS.
