June 28, 1892 Brunswick, GA., June 20.-- Captain Peter Nelson, of the steamer Angie Nellie, was run over by a switch engine on the East Tennessee road tonight and instantly killed. Captain Nelson was headed for the steamer, and it is presumed he stumbled on the track. No one on the train knew of the accident and it left the city for the new docks. Later a negro found the body. The head, shoulders and breast were cut completely from the lower limbs. Nelson was formerly captain of the St. Simon's steamer, and was known to every summer visitor to the island.
