Barnedoe, of Dorchester county, end a resident of Ridgeville, was this moiling found dead beside the tracM of the Southern railway be tween Ridgeville and Dorchester. The coroner empanelled a jury and began an Investigation of the young man’s death soon after being noti- ned.jsf the matter. * in. the absence of direct testimony ’here is considerable doubt as to how Barnedoe met his death. The body was/not mutilated, and when found was lying near the tracks. Whether he was riding on the train and fell off is not known at this time. Barnedoe was 22 or 23 years of age. 1 THK HKLD-HOIND TRAIN'. Tom Gray lay down on the bai -.-oem flooi, Having drank so much he could drink no more. And fell asleep with a troubled brain To dream he rode on the hell hound train;^ . v The.engine, with blood, was red and damp And brilliantly lighted with a brim stone lamp. An imp, for fuel, was shoveling bones As the furnace roared with a thous and groans; The boiler w'as filled with larger beer, V And the devil himset? was the en gineer. The passengers made such a motley crew— Church member, Atheist, Gentile and Jew. Rich men in broadcloth and beggars in rags. Handsome young ladies and wither ed old hags, Yellow and black men red and white, ( hained together, a horrible sight. Faster and faster the engine flew. Wilder and wilder th? country grew. .Gutter and louder the • thunder •crashed, Jrfghter and brighter the lightning flashed. loiter and hotter the ai. t»ecame, :ill the clothes were burned from each quivering frame, Lnd.in the distance they heard fu« !i a yell; Ha ua cracked 'the devil. ^V.'e’r^ nearing hell!” Ip:. * ,nd oh. how the paasengets shriek ed with pain, Vnd begged the devil to tdop the train. ;ut he capered about and danced with glee, - / . ^ md laughed and joked at their ag ony. My faithful friends, you ha\e done irfy work, - ^nd the devil can never a pay-day shirk. » , rou have bbllied the weak and robbr ed the poor, tnd the hungry brother have turned from your door, fou hkve gathered up gold where the canker rusts, knd given free vent to your hellish lusts; fou’ve drank and rioted and murder ed and lied, tnd mocked at God in your hellborn pride. lou've paid full fare so I’ll carry you through, •"or it is only right that you get your due,' ’’or every laborer is worth bis biro, 'O I’ll land you safe in my lake of lire ' iVhere my fiery imps will tormenx you forever, * \nd all In vain you will sigh for a Saviour.” fhen Tom awoke with an awful cry, lis clothes soaked w r et a*»d his hair , atanding high, \iid he prayed as .he never prayed — before Fo be saved from hell and the devil’s power, \i.d his crying and praying were not in vain, for he never more rode ou the heli um nd train. —Author Unknown.

IJOOSEVENT, JR., TO WED JUNE 11 (Continued from page one) fancy that they woqld over consent ’.o ha\e anything to do with any one heretofore connected with Huerta, rohstitutionalists make It plain be yond question they will recognize a government established under th« plan of Guadalupe at the triumph }f the revolution. .“According to this plan the com- mandtf-in-chief of the Constitu- 'naHat army will bo the provision al president of tbo Mexican repub lic while tbe elections are being ver- 'flvd and constitutional order Is re-' stored. They point out the fact that '‘onquerors are not usually wont to dictate the terms of peace, which la practically what la to be asked of them by tbe commission. Con stitutionalists are especially caus tic In their comment on tbe propos al'of tbe commission to take up the agrarian question and propose some for mof settlement. They declare that this is a purely Internal prob lem. and that they will tolerate no outside Interference. Rebels Will Bottle Whole Problem. “Indeed, this la their attitude with regard to the entire proceed ings of the mediation commission. They declare that If let alone they will settle the entire Mexican prob lem in a few months. “Should any or all of the foreign nations party to the conference at Niagara Falls decide, as a result of that conference, called to promote peace, to use’force to secure %ceep- tance of their plan the Constitu tionalists feel that it would present a situalon so contradictory as to be ludicrous. The announcement -that a basis had been secured for the so lution of the agrarian question was ’•ecelved with laughter. The Con- qRationalists do not recognize the right of the mediators to rule con cerning'this subject, especially as •he stand of the Huerta party on '•e matter largely was responsible or the unrest in Mexico. "The Constitutionalists assert the oreign mediators have not bqf* ibl'> to settie this question in their w n < mintries, and vet they appar- nily take it upon themselves to set tle so grave a matter for a country if whose local conditions they must he ignorant." “The inference that Huerta might ’broom-' u candidate for president at a future election is -regarded as im possible. He Is regarded as a crim inal, by the Constitutionalists, and hat he should he a candidate fc* anything except th? guillotine or the lectric chair is not considered se riously by them.” HE DIARY OF MRS.

That New Suit. “What am I going to do about that new- suit 1 must have?’’ said Martha Weaver to her buNbatid as be came la from work one evening. - v “Why Is there any question about that? Go td Hopkins A Co. and get you need. If you need a suit get answered ber busband. "I have looked there,” replied Martha, •‘but they haven’t puything that I want. I just need a simple suit, but I want phhI material, and it must be neatly and well made, one that 1 could use -for almost any occasion. I would prefer a ready made suit, but those that Hopkins A Cc. hare ap- |ieur to Lie made of poor, flimsy mate rial. and they are decked out with such cheap, flashy, dowdy triinmiug that 1 Just cannot bear to wear them,” replied Martha. Th« False Step. "Well, what do you want to do—run into the city and get you a suit?’’ asked .h im. “No. That docs not suit me cither, for when I have t i pay my fare, my i hotel bill and other incidental ex|ienses ! it makes the cost !oo high and also takes more time than L ean spare for the purchase of one suit." said Mu. tha ■‘Could you i.ot order one? Didn't 1 ' sec Mime mail order catalogues around here awhile ago?" asked the ihk-resited husband. "Yes; I could do that, but I am al most afraid to risk it. Still. Jheir styles ap|>i-ar to be good, and the pib-es quo till seem reasonable. I have la-eli thinking about doing that. I will look them up again and see what I can do.” answered Martha. ^ Martha's Heart Bank. Martha had little difficulty in "look ing up” tbe catalogue, as the house seemed full of them, and after critical ly examining tbe suit picture* a simple blue took ber fancy. Tbs description corresponded windier Idea of wbat sbe wanted; the trimming looked neat and of good quality. Tha price was satis factory, so after debating for some lit tle time sbe dadded to sand for it A draft wah forwarded, aad tbe long vigil pending the arrival of tbo suit was as depressing upon John aa upon Martha. At last It caaao^axpnaa bill and all -and aagariy tbs bos was opened and tbe suit Intd on tha bed for Inspection. It did not quit* measure op to tbe pro port Iona of tbo ptctnra in tbe cata logue. Tbe color was oat-food. There was too much coot and not aoougb skirt and, besides, tbe skirt waa not draped as tbs advertisement said. It just bung, and bung uneven at that Tbe work was not neat; tbe trimming was of cheap, showy quality, scant nud Inferior. Martba’s heart sank to zero. Sbe knew sbe would be asham ed to wear that suit at borne, much leas among her well dressed friends. What was the to do? She needed a suit badly, but she realized that to attempt an exchange would result ns disastrously us in the first place, and she could III affonl another new one. Defects Mere Proneunced. Tbe longer Martini had the suit the more numerous nud pronounced he came Its defects, until nt last ber pride ravelled, and sbe lefused > longer to wear tbe miserable parody. Sbe said she would much prefer to wear a ’•good’’ old suit than n "pijof’ new one.
