KILLED BY A TRAIN.-William Bar.
nett. a car inspector on the Southern
Railway for the past SO years, had both
legs crushed about quarter past D
O'Clock Saturday evening at the depot
in his city. A south bound passenger
train had stopped at the depot and Bar
nett bad crossed over the platforms OF
the cars 10 the wet side of the track.
No one saw the accident, srd when the
train pulled out the unfortunate man
was seen lying on the rails with both
legs nearly severed and be unconscious
and gasDing for breath. He was picked
up as quickly as possible and Drs.
O'Brien and Purvis summoned, but he
died before either arrived. The crew
of the train which ran over Barnett
were unaware of the accident. Barnett
resided at 213 south Columbus street
and ia survived by q widow and two
grown Sons, William and Thomas
Barnett by his fret marriage. His SEC
ond wife was the widow OF the late
James Burnett. He was prominent
member OF the Mechanics Lodge, Il. OF
F., No. 8, and also member OF the
Odd Fellows. As stated above, no.
body saw the accident, and many con-
lectures are ventured as to how 1t
occurred. Barnett noted the numbers
of all trains which entered and passed
out of the depot, and he also attended
to placing ice, signals, etc. 10 the cars.
His occupation was generally on the
east side of the track and why he
crossed to the west is not explained
satisfactorily. 1t is suggested that Bar
nett had recently been showing signs
of dependency and had talked ss
though life was to him burden, and
some think 1t possible that he threw
himself on the track. The deceased
was good natured and was generally
popular with all who knew him. His
funeral will take place from bis late
residence tomorrow afternoon at b
O'Clock. Mechanics Lodge No. 3. and
ORIENTAL Lodge, No. 6, knights OF
Pythiss will tend the funeral.

Renewal of Negotiations Received

renewal OF negotiations received
With Satisfaction in London.
London, April 1.-THE report that
General Botha has renewed the nego-
tiations with Lord Kitchener is not
yet officially confirmed, but it is gen.
orally credited and received with sat-
lsfaction, except by the ultra jingoes,
who fear that the government will re-
new the terms recently rejected. Re-
garding General Dewet's mental condi-
ton reports have been very conflict
ing for some, time. His recent mac
tivity points to there being some truth
In the rumors which allege that the
hardships endured under the hard
British pursuit have unhinged his
mind. On the other hand CORE
spondent of The Times quite recently
"admired the admirable foresight and
sagacity with which he escaped from
Cape Colony"
After the recent abortive negotia-
lions the British press again insists
on unconditional surrender" but
with the budget tax on necessaries
staring the country in the face If ne
gotiations are reopened, the Beers, as
The Daily Chronicle remarks, may
reckon on fair treatment at the hands
of the British"
