NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-For the pur-
pose OF discovering what style of ma
chine would be best adopted for haul
ing fast trains to the worlds fair next
year four locomotives OF the Pennsyi-
vania railroad recently made mile on
the Jersey Meadows The engines
were from the different parts OF the
system between New York ana Pitts
burg. Each engine drew two cars.
They started from the terminal station
at Jersey City. Tho Baldwin com
pound and the Johnny Bull, " an
English engine. demonstrated their
utility as drawers OF heavy trains. but
did not show up so we'll on speed for a
mile, as they covered the distance in
sixty-three and sixty-iive seconds re-
spectively.
The Schenectady engine lid the mile
in just fifty-three seconds. which ID
equal to seventy-two miles an hour.
This was considered good time, bu,
the ''Pennsylvania's own No. "a,
made in the Pennsylvania shops, did
better, doing the mile in forty-sevep

BRAZIL, Ind, Nov. Airs. Sarah
Sheppard, who lived a few miles south
OF this city. met with horrible acct
dent yesterday afternoon. She was
l04 years OLD and lived with two OF
her steps ons on a farm. 1t was the
custom of the boys to leave the OLD
lady at the house alone during the day
while they worked on the farm. Yes
ierday evening they were attracted to
the house by the OLD lady's screams.
They found her lying on the floor in a
nude condition. her clothing having
burned from her body. She died in a
few hours. she was unconscious when
found, but it is thought her clothing
ignited from pipe as she had her
pipe in her hand when found. Mrs.
Sheppard was the Oldest woman in the
state and was enjoying good heal ID

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-The rain
makers here have been BON harding
the skies. The noise was like that OF
an intermittent engagement ami sug-
gested the attack on the Long bridge
during the war. The attack on
the clouds was quite as futile as
was the menace TO the city thirty
years ago. Inc feature OF it was that
the signal service said rain would
very likely fall ana the more the bonn
parders bombarded the less it raned.
Major Dunwoodle OF the weather
bureau SCOTS at the idea OF the rain
makers having anything to 90 with
the light showers Saturday morning,
although they strained every nerve
ana there was rain ali around Wash
ington only few drops fell here.
The lombard ment OF yesterday ami to-
day is probably the last effort to oe
made here. The experimenters are
due in New Mexico very soon.
