THE TRAIN

announced the moving of the train, and
crowds rushed to the bluffs from all quar-
ters. 1t was expected to see the entire
train pass, but the multitude were doomed
to disappointment, as only the section
containing the shipments of the Anglo
American Packing Company was brought
up. 1t consisted of nineteen ears, drawn
by two engines. Messrs J. T. Jefferson
4 Co., the Memphis agents OF that COM
pany, celebrated the event by stationing
two field pieces on the bluffs, from which
salutes were fired in regular alterations
as the train moved to its destination, where
the goods were distributed to the various
consignees.

on THE COUR Sc.

The fall races began yesterday with a
very interesting programme. 1t was
feared. on account of last weeks rains,
that the track would not be in the best
condition. but a great deal OF work was
done ON il. and as Sunday was clear and
sunshiny, it was found to be in very good
order.
The day came in cool and aiittle cloudy,
but at noon was very pleasant, and hun
dreds of people, who before that hour
hesitated, hitched up and drove out. The
road leading out from the city had been
repaired and the bridges fixed, and as
there was no dust, the driving was de-
iightful. The grand stand, which has
been remodeled and made much more ac-
cessible. was occupied, when the races
began, by a large number of ladies, among
whom the following were noticed:

Under date OF Nay 10, 1888. We have received the

II seemed impossible for me to get

and pains increased constantly to such an extent
that | became convinced that ! had a disease OF the
kidneys fastened TO me, and after having used doc
tors prescriptions and many Of the 30 called cures
without getting any benefit, | was persuaded by a
near n~eighbor, Mr. Jones, to try Hunts Remedy, as

A HINDoo
Entry of n High Caste Brahmin into
the womnn's Medical Col
lcge.

Philadelphia Record, oct l,
DIR. Rachel j. Bradley, Dean of the
Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania,
gave a reception on Saturday evening, at
No. 1400 North Twenty. first street, to
Mrs. Anandibal Joshee, of Seramporo,
Hindostan. Mrs. Joshoe is the first UNI
christianizod Hindoo woman who has ever
crossed the ocean, and she comes to Phil
adclphia for the purpose of studying
medicine, and will remain in this
city four years. No male physician
is allowed to attend a woman in the
India, oven though she be dangerously
i'll.
Mrs, Joshee, who is the wife of a high.
caste Brahmin i'll the the Government
employ ut Seramport, has never lost her
caste, although she does not worship idols.
The want of proper medical advice and
attention among the women of her caste
has impelled Mrs. Joshee to- leave her
country for a time in order to open the
door for the introduction of educated
female physicians of high caste among
her people. She arrived in this city
on Friday, and will at onco begin
her studies in this Woman's Medical Col
lege.
Nearly all of the female physicians in
this city, and many of their friends, were
present at the reception, which was a very
pleasant affair. Mrs. Joshee was dressed
in full Hindoo costume. with numerous
rich pearl and gold ornaments. Her dress
was trimmed in gold lace, and cut after
the Oriental fashion. She is rather short
and stout, but has n very pleasing and
attractive face. Her manner is agreeable
and self-possessed. Although but 1S
years of age she has been married nine
years, Her co ming to this country was
at first violently opposed 6ythe Brahmin
priests and her friends. but at last con-
sidering the philanthropic nature of her
intentions, they all yielded, and as she
intends to strictly observe the rules of
her religion while here an a~bsolution, so
to speak, will be granted her when she
returns for her oifense in crossing the
ocean. She says that there will prob
ably be some other high-caste Brahmin
women who will come to this country to
study in n short time. The only educated
physicians now allowed to visit the
Brahmin ome in their illness are a few
European and American neutrality-suspicious.,
whose labors have been 30 valuable
that the idea of having native women
educated for the profession was forced
upon the attention of the people re-
sulting in the special privileges grant
ed to Mrs. Joshee, and to be granted to
others.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
A W0MkN'S WEALTH.
According TO Her Story Two Young
Men Robbed Her Of II,
She is Icrt at the Beginning of Long
Journey without Friends
or Money.

A woman named Mrs. Bet2 arrived on
the Rock Island Saturday night, who
tells a story which, if true, entities her
to much consideration and sympathy.
She says she came her from Atlantic,
where she has been stopping for about a
month, but before that she made her
home in Charlton for several months, and
it was there that her husband died last
summer, leaving her a widow with two
little children, one almost a babe. Her
husband left little or no property, he
being of q migratory nature, and his bust
ness being that of transferring pictures
onto glass or china, copying pictures,
etc. The only relatives she had whom
she knew of were in California, and on
communicating with them and letting
them know of her condition her uncle
sent her money to come on there with and
he would furnish her a home. Her cousin
came from there, brought the money, and
as he could not wait for her to settle up
the business and get ready to start, he
went back, taking the elder child with
him and leaving her to follow with the
other. She had $40 in billsin her pocket
when she started from Atlantic, but when
she had reached here and was about to
start up town, she missed her roll and
found that the pocket, which she had
carefully pinned together, was opened.
She insists that two young men on the
train must have been the ones that took
it, for they sat right behind her in the
car and she moved once to get away from
them, and they moved too, and took a
seat behind her. AS she got off the
train they were close behind her,
and disappeared after she missed the
money, and there are other circumstances
which led her to believe they picked her
pocket or robbed hsr of her money. Be-
ing in a strange city, and penniless, she
reported to Chief Field, and he provided
her a place at the Ohio house, where she
could stay over Sunday with her child.
Arrangements were made to send her on
as far as Fremont, and there let the
authorities help her further OF her way.
One of the further misfortunes, which
renders the woman more helpless, is that
one arm is paralyzed 30 that she can use
it but little. so that all in all she is in a
pitiful condit on.

A SNAKE.
Remarkable Specimen of rctrifac-
ton.


philadelphia Record,
"We want to see the big snake"
Such was the request made of Mr.. ID.
M. Lienhardt in explanation of a ring at
the door-bell of his residence, No. 1925
Poplar street, yesterday morning. On
the steps were gathered n ~half-dozen
children belonging in that neighborhood,
ranging in age from to IL years, who
cautiously inquired if the serpent were
likely to harm them. They. we're told
that no harm would befall them, and so
the little ones entered. No sooner had
the door closed when another tug Mt the
bell informed Mr.. Lienhardt that more
callers were awaiting to be admitted to
satisfy their curiousity. This time the
visitors proved to be adults, and so n
steady streams of men, women and chill
dren kept up all day, much to the dis
comfort of the obliging owner of the
thing which many had come for squares
around to see. Entering the hall the
spectators beheld a petritied snake IL feet
long and 20 inches in circumference,
weighing over 375 pounds.
1t was found a month ago imbedded in
n coal vein in one of the mines of the
Leonard coal company, in Centre county,
Pennsylvania. The miner who run across
the remarkable speciman of petrifaction
many hundred feet beneath the earth's
surface was thunderstruck at the dis
covery, and experienced something like a
cold chill down his back for the first few
moments after the pick had brought to
light the serpent's head. He called his
comrades, and they aided him in digging
it out. 1t had to be cut into sixteen sec
tions before it vas gotten out of the vein.
The snake was exhibited for several days
in n hut near the mine, and people for
miles around focked to the place to sec
the strange thing, the like of which, il
was said, had ne Jer before been seen in
those parts. An officer of the Leonard
coal company obtainad possession of it,
and had it On private exhibition for sew
eral days at his office, No. 207 Walnut
place. He soon became tire of the rush,
which included brokers and business men,
to his aifice to get a glimpse of the snake,
so he presented it to his present owner.
The latter has also beer run down by
visitors, but his love for curiosities is so
great that he would sooner put up with
such annoyance than part with his pres
ent.
The snake is of a dark lead color. Its
head, body and tail are wonderfully well
preserved, the outlines being quite distinct.
Itissomewhat flattened Oh top, andthrough
the centre of the body is a ridge an inch
in depth.
A well Informed naturalist, connected
with the Academy of Natural Sciences,
examined the thing for two hours on
Saturday last. He said it was the best
petritied specimen he ever saw, ana he
claims to be well up in that line. The
ridge he explained as being due to the
wasting away ofsa portion of the entrails
and undigested food previous to the time
when petrifaction set in. He declared
that the snake was fully six thousand
years old and belonged to a species
10Y only found in certain portions of
Africa

A BBISK
Mrs. McMahon's Residence Has a
Narrow Escape from De-
structiOn.

Between l and 2 o'clock yesterday
morning fire was discovered in the
kitchen of Mrs. McMahon's large brick
residence on the corner of Sixth avenue
and Ninth street. One of her sons,
James, was first aroused by a strangling
sensation, caused by the dense smoke,
which was filling the entire house; and
he, after awaking the other members of
the family, turned in an alarm from the
box. calling the fire department. While
the engines were getting out the work
with pals was briskly carried on and
the fire put out, so that the department
was not needed. The woodwork in the
kitchen was badly charred, and the
flames had burned through the ceiling in
one Llace, so hat the whole damage will
probably reach $500, which was covered
by insurance. Had the fire not been
discovered just as it was, n few minutes
would have given it sufficient Roadway to
have taken the whole of the house in
stead of a part. The origin of the fire is
not known definitely, but it appears that
a lamp had been left burning in the
kitchen and standing under a wooden
shelf, which probably got hot enough to
ignite.
