And Strange Story of Man Who Got
on the Wrong Train.
The Roanoke contingent returned
from New Orleans last night on No. 3.
They were in excellent spirits, notwith-
standing they lost ono OF their number
at Chattanooga. They had all got out
thore for breakfast. Ono of the mum
Der hurried back for n good S, at, and
gos on the wrong train. Tho train
moved out with him waving his hand
gaily at the rest Seven miles out he
discovered his error and then alie hted
and started back.
reports state that an Infatuated Roa.
noker was seen stepping ties toward
Chattanooga dressed in red morocco
slippers, brocade dressing gown and n
little red cap with red tassel and
swearing at evcry steo that he would
work for the Kent bill from tho moment
he struck Virginia till the bill became
law.
Alton Hull brought in the lost ones
boots, overcoat and silk tile and had
them forwarded to his homo. He tele-
grabbed words Of cheer to the pedes-
TRAN at every station.
y. s. 1t is learned that the missing
member is not n Roanoker at ali, but
