LEFT FOB HOT SPRINGS.
Corbett Believes That the Move From Sa
 Antonio is Unwise


 Antonio is Unwise.
 San Antonio, Oct. 14-Corbett and party left tonight for Hot Springs, where the champion will resume his training, unless the opposition of the authorities forces him to make another move Corbett stated just before his departure that he believed the move was an unwise one, as he had no conti- dence in the statements that the fight would be brought about at Hot Springs and that protection was guaranteed.
 ''fn my opinion, he said, q will find Arkansas no better than Texas in which to fight, and l am still of the belief that my only chance for meeting FitZsim mons is for both to go to some quiet spot where there will be no interference on the part of the authorities"
 Fl Paso, Tex, Oct. 14.-A report from the city of Mexico to-day says that President Diaz has decided that the tt-F'itzsimmons fight on he bor- der is a matter for the state govern ment to manage and therefore he has left it with Governor Ahumada of Chi huahua. It is regarded here as settled that the fight will come off at Juarez. The town is greatly excited.
 Little Rock, Ark, Oct 14-The gover- nor to-day was thoroughly determined to prevent the prize fight at all hazards. He said that the action of the circuit judge and the sheriff of Garland county now made it metter of state concern and rendered him primarily responsible for its suppression. He was still hope ful that those in charge of the prize fighting enterprise would abandon all further attempt to bring it about here.
 If, however this did not prove to be the case their efforts could only be in terpreted to mean that they intended to resist with force the efforts of the officers to prevent it. In this aspect of affairs the prize fight would drop out of view and the contest would be one between the powers of the state and that of the invading forces of the prize fighting contingent. The governor had no doubt of the result of a conflict be- tween these.
 The authority and dignity of the state, he thought, would be maintained. If, however, the prize fight took place in spite of the efforts of the officers and the people the. governor said he would resign his office and in future leave the enforcement of the laws and resis ance to invasion to more competent hands.
 Corpus Christi, Tex, Oct. 14-Fitz- simmons will remain here. While working in the blacksmith shop to-day Fitz mashed his left hand. He re- marked that it was his misfortune to bruise himself two or three weeks be- fore each fight he had ever engaged in, but said he: "That will not in- terfere with my fighting in the least. My blood is in good order and I'll be all right He took six-mle spin on his wheel this morning and this afternoon put in three hours work.

 New York, Oct 14,-The American So- ciety of Railway Superintendents met to-day. President George w. Beach of the Naugatuck division of the New Ha- ven road presided About twenty-five members were present. Colonel H. G, Prout talked at length on "Electricity on the Railroads and Its Problems " He said the trolley in suburban service was rival to the railroads and in stanced' the trolley running between St. Paul and Minneapolis which covered a distance of fifty miles, for fifteen cents. The railroad covered the distance in half the time, but charged twenty five cents. He advised that for suburban service the railroads run trolleys.
 c, A, Fitch, general superintendent of the New York, Lake Erie and West ern, read a paper on "The Relation of Railroad Employers to their Employees. Il He thought that on the whole such re- lations were more pleasant and harmo- nious than in past years. In a discus sion which followed as to the centrali- zation of authority in the division su- perintendent ,t was the unanimous opin- ion that it was desirable. It was gen erally the experience that valuable time was lost when the division superinten- J [ T ments to act on his orders,
 The members seemed divided as to the superiority of compound engines over the others. The majority seemed to believe the contrary.

ExCLUDED FROM THE M4IIs.
Numbered Copies of the New Haven Leade,

Numbered Copies of the New Haven Leader
 Pending an Answer from Washin,ton
 Postmaster Beach decided yesterday to exclude numbered copies of the Evening Leader from the mails. This decision is due to the fact that the paper is running a scheme in it's col umns which comes under the head of the lottery law. Each number of the paper is numbered consecutivelv and advertisers having selected certain numbers, the holders of the papers bearing the numbers coinciding with the advertisers numbers are entitled to certain prizes,
 Yesterday afternoon the mail edition of the Leader was sent to the postoffice. It was examined and one CODY of the paper was found containing num= bered coupon. This was confiscated and Postmaster Beach notified He sum- moned the business manager of the Leader and requested him to explain why his paper should not be excluded from the mails as having violated the postal laws pertaining to lotteries.
 The manager explained that the num- bered copies were only intended for city distribution and that their out of town subscribers would not be permitted to partake of the benefits of the scheme If a numbered copy had been mailed it was an oversight and due to some error in the numbering machinery.
 This explanation Postmaster eBach had transcribed, and accompanied by the copy of the paper he sent it on to the authorities at Washington. He will await their final decision, but for the present no numbered copy of the Leader can pass through the New Haven post office.

James Myers and his neice, Miss Scott, were
arrested Wednesday at Massillon, charged

to him and offered to settle for $50, but said she
ought to have $50. In justice Sibila's court
Mr.. Adams swore out warrants for their ar
rest
He then refused to pay Myers the money un-
less Miss Scott appeared in person, Myers
brought Miss Scott to him and she admitted
that she had written the note and demanded
the money. At this moment constable Shepley
and Willard Cole stepped out of closet and
both Myers and Miss Scott were arrested.

AFTER FORTY FOUR YEARS
An Old GreentOwn Boy Turns Up at
His Brothers Kitchen
Door

Several days ago, as George Bitterman
was in his kitchen at Cuyahoga Falls a
strange man appeared at the door. He
spoke to Mr.. Bitterman in rather famil-
lar manner and that gentleman at once
invited him into the house. When the
two men met face to face Mr. Bitterman
was dunn bounded for he recognized the
man before him as his brother Levi, who
had left home forty-four years ago.
At that time the family lived on a farm
at Greentown. Levi was only 16, but
one day he went away and was never
heard from afterward. He went south,
and when the war broke out joined the
confederate army His brother Daniel was
in the union army, and on the first day of
the battle of Chicamauga, was shot in the
breast. John Reid, of Cuyahoga Falls,
picked him up and carried him back TO a
straw stack in wheat field, where he left
him for dead. Levi was also in this bat
tie as sergeant in the ambulance corps
of the confederate army. After the battle
the rebel ambulance corps followed up the
union army, picking up the dead and
wounded. Sergeant Bitterman saw q
man. apparently dead, lying near straw
stack. A cap concealed his face. 1t was
the man Reid had placed there some time
previous. A union soldier so far this side
of his army's line attracted the sergeant 5
attention, and he raised the cap from the
mans face. He at once recognized him as
his brother, whom he had left as a boy on
his fathers farm years before His brother
was unconscious but the man was given
medical attention and finally was able
to carry on conversation. He died in few
hours in the arms of his brother and was
buried near the city of Chattanooga. The
family have always supposed, until Lewis
return that Daniel was dead when left by
Reid. Levi was afterwards taken priso-
ner and confined in Camp Dougliss until
the close of the war. He then went to
Newestown, Tex, where he has since re-
sided. He learned In some manner that
his brother lived in Cuyahoga Falls, and
without sending any word, walked in on
him as already stated. Levi is now q
wealthy citizen of Newestown, Texas,
where he has been engaged in mercantile
pursuits.
