Sunday night about midnight, as the south bound passenger train reached Molino, William S. Ganey, a white man who was riding on the blind baggage, attempted to get off, was thrown under the wheels, and both legs were cut off below the knee.  He was carried to a house and kept until yesterday, about noon when the railroad company was notified and he was brought to Pensacola and taken to the infirmary.  

Besides the legs, one hand was crushed, and the man was injured internally.  Both legs were amputated by the railroad company's physicians, Drs. Renshaw and Pierpont, assisted by Dr. J.W. Harris and Mr. William Blumer.  The operation was neatly performed, but the great loss of blood, the internal injuries and the long strain were too much, and the patient died before being taken from the operating table.  

Before being put under the influence of chloroform, Ganey talked to a Pensacola Journal reporter, who gathered from him the following information:

Ganey was from Donalsonville, GA, where his wife and four children, the latter being mostly grown reside.  He was 46 years old and had been working in East Florida on a railroad, but was, at the time of the accident, on his way to Alabama where he had been promised work on the L&N's new branch.  He said that he attended the Methodist church quite regularly, but always had a desire to unite with the Baptish church.  

When asked whether he wanted to relay anything to his family, he said, "I feel my way is clear.  I have a good Father in Heaven and want them all to meet him there."  He was then put under the influence of the anesthetic and did not speak again.
