KILLED BY TRAIN IN SHEFFIELD YARDS Horrible Death of H. H. Ballinger Sunday-Tuscumbia Trust Company Reopens Doors Sheffield, May 14.-(Special.)-A horrible accident occurred in the Sheffield yards of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company Sunday night at 10:30 o'clock, in which H. H. Ballinger was killed. He had just come in on his run from Columbia. It is thought that Ballinger fell from the top of the coach or from a foot-board as the entire train passed over his body. His neck was broken, his chest crushed, and his right hand cut entirely off. It was nearly a half an hour before the train men missed him, and upon searching his mangled remains were found in the switch yards. Rev. J. A. Bowen from Birmingham, who is the conference evangelist, commenced a revival in the Methodist church yesterday, by holding a Mothers' day service at 11 o'clock. On Monday morning the Tuscumbia Bank and Trust company opened its doors to the Tri-Cities, and recommenced business. Many deposits were made and very few withdrawals. This bank is now on a firmer basis than ever. Sheffield Camp No. 75 unveiled a monument to the late sovereign, Jack Wanning, of the Woodmen of the World, with impressive ceremonies on last Sunday afternoon.
