Marietta, O., June 2s.-In a telephone
interview today, Hon. Francis B. LOOMS
assistant secretary of state, said that
advices from officials in England wer,
to the effect that they now felt positive
that Kent Loomis got off at Plymouth
The officials expect to produce results
soon. Those who know Mr.. LOOMS here
intimately believe that if he has suffered
a period of abstraction he would hide
from the public, and might remain III
obscurity for days.

Iieved the Mans Home is in South
Bethlehem, Pa

While attempting TO get out of the
way Of a freight train which was back
ing westward from the main track OF the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad on to the
switch which runs to the Pinnickinnick
coal tipples in the east end of the city
Tuesday afternoon about o'clock, a
white man, believed to be Herman Rash
ler caught his foot in the track and was
ground to death under the wheels of the
train.
The man was standing on the switch
near the main track. II is presumed he
thought the freight train was backing
westward down the main track. The
train took the switch, however, and as
the first car came upon him he attempt
cd TO get out OF the way. As he was
doing so his foot caught in between the
double rail OF tile switch and held him
fast. Before he could extricate his foot
the train had backed around the curved
switch and run him down.
Several workmen were standing with
in some distance of the scene and saw
the accident. As soon as the train had
stopped they ran to the spot and found
that the wheels of the freight cars had
ground the unfortunate mans body to
pieces. They sent word to Coroner w.
P. Camp who went TO the scene imme-
diately and took charge OF the remains.
q After.a short investigation the remains

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
EFFECTUAL PUNISHMENT.


That the condemnat ton of mans
own conscience is the most effectual
punishment is well illustrated by a
story which the Louisville Herald
prints. For the sinner and for the just
man the worst torture Is mental, and
for the sinner no other merited torture
is SO likely to work reform.
Late one summers night as old DR..
Parkhurst was returning from a visit
to a patient, he heard whisper from
one Of his cellar windows. which had
been removed. He stopped and listened
intently.
so you've come at last. Jim," MUIR
INJURED the voice. well, I've found the
meat barrel, and precious little there
is in it, too. Here. you hold the bag
while l bring the pork"
The old doctor quietly obeyed in
structions. and layer after layer of the
fat meat was hoisted out to him
There said the thief. lit amt best
to be small in these things, so I've left
one piece. Now, lend a hand Jim, for
it's easier getting in than getting out
this small window.
DIR. Parkhurst had recognized the
voice as that of one of his neighbours,
a man Of whom better things might
have been expected. Therefore, he
thought it proper to give him a lecture
before he lent the required assistance.
Il am sorry. neighbor. that you are
reduced to this strait. and | must con-
TESS that | have never before suspect
ed your integrity said the doctor,
with solemn gravity. At this unex-
pected rejoinder the detected rogue
broke down and begged for pardon and
secrecy.
Il will not have you arrested" said
from the cellor nor will | expose you,
on condition that this is the last time
you trespass upon your neighbors in
this manner. But l shall reserve the
privilege Of telling this story when
ever and wherever | please"
After that night DR.. Parkhurst told
the story dozens Of times. often in the
very presence of the conscience strick-
en- man, but no persuasions could ever
draw from him the name Of the guilty
person.
His course effectually reformed the
man, and was better than any public
punishment which could have been de-
vised.
