Whisky and Death in Warcross Train Tragedy
In Warcross Georgia April 25 Owen Griffin and Martian Wilds drunkenly received whisky and then rode the Brunswick and Western Hillroad home. Griffin slept on the track while Wilds rested on a rail. A westbound locomotive struck the sleeping man cutting off his head and dragging the body, leaving it unrecognizable. The coroner's jury exonerates Griffin. The deceased left a wife and two children. A Burlington gazette note quoted Congressman Scott of Erie predicting Cleveland’s nomination and reelection and a GOP ban on nominations after 1892, with bets on 1888.
