HORRIBLE DEATH OF COLORED MAN—John Campbell Killed on the Southern Railway—THE 
UNFORTUNATE MAN MANGLED—Both Legs Cut Off and Hurt Internally—Expired Half 
Hour After Accident.

John Campbell, a deaf and dumb negro, employed by the Hilton & Dodge Lumber 
Company, at the Cypress Mills in this city, was run over and killed by a 
Southern Railway train last night.

Campbell, it seems, was drunk, and tried to crawl under the cars just in front 
of Marks’ store on Bay street.

The cars were moving and caught him, dragging him several hundred feet.  His 
cries attracted attention and finally the train stopped and the man was 
carried to his home on south Albany street where he died in a few minutes.
