POSTAL FRAUDS
Cuban Case Will be Vigorously Prose-
 cuted-Bristow's Investigation

New York, October 15.-A special to the Herald from Washington says:
 Since his return from the investigation of the Cuban postal frauds, Fourth Assis- tant Postmaster General Bristow has been engaged in formulating the evidence to be submitted by the department when those arrested are brought to trial
 "The record of every official from Rath- bone down, has been gone into. and the lives of all before they became associated with the Cuban postal system have been fn- vestgated.
 "Rathbone and Nicely will be vigorously prosecuted It is hoped they will be brought before a judge rather than jury The character of their alleged crime makes them amenable to no set punishment, that being left to the judge or jury under the Cuban law.
 Tt is practically decided that the former director general shall be tried on four charges The first charge will be that, through his negligence, his subordlnates were enabled to cheat the government. The Cuban laws make Rathbone responsible for every cent taken by Nicely and others.
 ''The second charge Is that Rathbone took $10e0 for which he never gave vouchers.
 '"Fhe third charge deals with the per diem allowances made to him by the post master general.
 "The fourth charge deals with his extrav- Agant expenditure of government funds"

A Derailed Train Took Fire from the
 Engine

 The first section of freight train No. 57, while going at high speed, struck COW and was derailed. The coals from the fire box of the engine came in contact with the oil cars and soon the wreckage was in flames. William Dick of Evansville was In a box car with two race horses. One of the horses, H. M. C., was killed and the man had his collar bone broken.
 Thomas Enright of Henderson, Ky, had his right arm broken and narrowly escaped death. Joseph Alsop if New Harmony, Ind, had his breast crushed.
 The second section of the train was flag ged by the rear brakeman who ran back two miles and was so exhausted by his effort that he fainted.
 . The charred body of R. B. Jerusalem was found early this morning. Jerusalem came from Indianapolis and had conducted a successful merchandise business at Vim cennes.
 It is believed that there Is another body in the ruins, possibly that of the head brakeman who has been missing.

FELL FROM A GAR
 AND WAS KILLED
John Ludwig, a Stranger, Was
 Fatally Careless.
HE HAD BEEN DRINKING
Stepped or Car Platform Between Ems ley and Pratt and Fell Through a Trestle and Was Killed
 His Identity Unknown

John Ludwig, a young white man, step ped from the rear of an electric car be- tween Ensley and Pratt City about 10 o'clock last night, and, falling through a trestle, was almost instantly killed.
 The young man had evidently been drink ing, and was standing on the rear platform. No one noticed him when he stepped off the car, but he was soon missed and it was decided to run the car back and look for him. Some one remembered that the wound man had left the car somewhere near the trestle, and the headlight was taken off the car and a search made for the missing passenger. Ludwig's body was found in about three feet of water beneath the trestle work which supports the car track.
 He was unconscious when found, and was taken to Pratt City, where he could be placed under a physicians care. Dr. Brown was summoned. but the young man Was dead before he arrived.
 The body was taken to the undertaking establishment of Sam Foley, where it will remain until relatives or friends of the dead man can be communicated with.
 Ludwig was a stranger to all who saw him, and his identity was established by a letter found in his pocket. Enclosed in the envelope was order from J. N Rogers for $7 which was to be paid the young man on next Saturday. The order was dated Columbus, Ga.
 The young man was apparently about 21 years of age and was clean-shaven He has dark eyes and brown hair and weighs about 1SO pounds.
 Coroner Paris will be notified and will probably make an investigation.

"DOPED" HORSES
 TO BE SCRATCHED
Crescent City Jockey Club Will
 Put nd to Practice.
A MUCH NEEDED REFORM
Veterinary Surgeon Has Been Employ ed to Examine the Entries at the Post and Report on
 Their Condition

New Orleans, October 15.-(Special. 1.-The Crencent City Jockey Club is determined to put a stop to the doping" of horses. To this end the services of nationally known veterinary surgeon have been en- gagged for the winter meeting. His official title will be assistant paddock judge" and 1t will be his duty to carefully examine the prospective starters in each race just before they go to the post. If he notices anything suspicious In the condition of any one of the horses he will promptly inform the stewards and they will take such steps as they deem wise.
 Just what the procedure will be cannot now be positively stated, but 1t Is believed that when any signs of doping" are de- tected the doctored animal will be ordered scratched and a new book made. The Crescent City Jockey Club has always been able to cope with the jockey who suffers from 'strong arm'' and with the owners who lay their horses up in the book and scend them to the post short of work This is proved by the number of owners and jockeys who have been ruled off for life at the New Orleans track within the last few years The owner who "dopes" his horse, however, has been thorn in the side of honest racing and the management has been devotng much time toward figur- ing out a remedy.
 On more than one occasion suspicion has pointed strongly toward owners but they have never been caught. It has finally been determined to employ Dr. w. S. Keogh, who is widely known as we'll posted and thoroughly reliable veterinar- ian, as assistant paddock judge. When he announces that horse has been artificially stimulated it will be a case of "all bets off" and a new book.

At Harlem

Chicago, October 1.-Two accidents oc- cured in Harlem's steeplechase this after noon, resulting in a broken leg for Jockey Allmark, who had the mount on Negli- gence, and serious injuries to Jockey Law less on High Admiral. In false break away Negligence got the bit in his teeth and took diagonal course across the in- field.
 Ailmark was unable to stop his mount, and after turning out on the main track, the old horse ran at full speed into the outside fence, turing a complete somer- sault Allmark, was thrown nearly fifty feet and when picked up was unconscious. The boy is suffering from a broken leg and other dangerous injuries Negligence final ly got up, and with Jockey Kerins up, re- started after a delay of half an hour.
 At the second jump High Admiral went down and Jockey Lawloss was jumped on by Coronatus. He was seriously injured about the back. Nicholas refused the third jump and Monita was pulled up. With these out of the road, Ford took the lead and won as she pleased with eight lengths to spare.

Mark Twain's Home-Coming

From the New York Mail and Express
 With the early return of Mark Twain to this country to live, after nine years resi- dence abroad American life will welcome an ampler literary reputation than it sped. The humorist is one of the few men of his calling who has broadened rather than mar rowed in following it. Always more than jester. his studies and travels in the Old World have won for him credit as a wide and keen observer of affairs, and as some thing of social philosopher. He Is one Of several American authors whose recep- tion in England has been more than kindly, and his testimony to the cordiality with which the representative men of his people are welcomed there and to the common grounds of sentiment which he finds In the relations of the two English speaking nations is only a little more pointed and pungent than testimony already offered England" he says, lis the best friend we have got in Europe and we are the only friend she's got on earth" It Is an augury none other than wholesome that the two nations are being drawn together by com mon sympAthies and by the friendship of the men who lead public thought, rather than by influences merely governmental or exigencies that are of the moment

BROOKLYN WON
 THE FIRST GAME Easily Defeated Pittsburg in the
 Post Pennant Series FOR WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP Beautiful Trophy Cup is Also at Stake McGinnity Was Invincible Until Ninth Inning, When He Met
 With an Accident
FOR WORL DIS CHAMPIONSHIP

Pittsburg, October 15.-The post-pennant series of ball games between Brooklyn and Pittsburg for the worlds championship and possession of $500 trophy cup was be- gun today at Exposition Park in the pres ence of 1000 enthusiastic fans.
 The series was made possible by the Chronicle-Teegraph of this city shortly after Pittsburg's phenomenal stride toward the penant in the latter part of the sea son, offering a beautiful trophy in the shape of solid silver punch bowl to be contested for by the teams finishing first and second, provided Pitts burg was one of them The team winning three games out of five is to have absolute possession of the trophy and the gate re- celpts Of the series will be divided among the members of both teams who were signed before September 15 Great interest attached to the contest because Pittsburg has won the series from every team in the league except Cincinnati, and many friends think she would have won the pennant had not so many of her players been disabled toward the end of the season.
 The first game was won by Brooklyn with hands down. McGnnity, the "iron man. had his opponents completely at his mercy up to the ninth inning, allowing only three dinkey hits up to that time In the eighth tnding McGinnity was being run down by Waddell between third and home and in an attempt to dodge his pursuer, he fell, striking his temple hard on Waddell's s knee. He was laid out for three four minutes, but soon went to the box and finished the game. In the ninth he hit a batter, gave a base on balls and two hits, saving Pittsburg a shut out. Waddell was not hit hard, but often, six hits being made off him in the third inning. His support was not the best. Score R.H. E. Pittsburg ...... ...... O000000 2-2 4 Brooklyn ...... ...... 0031 0 % 0-5 15

The Women of Most Living Descendants

The Women of Most Living Descendants From the Chambersburg Peoples Register
 Mrs. Catherine Gilbert of Horse Valley can boast of having the largest number of living descendants of any woman in the community. The total number is nearly two hundred, six of whom are her children, seventy-six grandchildren and over a hun dred great-grandchildren. Mrs. Gilbert Is 90 years old and enjoys good health. She was born in Horse Valley and has lived her whole lifetime there, only being out of the valley a few times.
 Mrs Gilbert was married quite young, scarcely r years old, and moved in house in the upper end of Horse Valley, known since as the old Gilbert place and belong ing to a grandson of hers, where she raised all her children and lived sixty-five years in succession. Mrs. Gilbert has not been out of the valley at all for thirty three years. She never saw a train or rail- road yet she is well contented, and would not live in any other place.
 Mrs. Gilbert likes to talk about old times and she makes a pleasant and interesting companion. as she can tell many little sto- ries of the time when she was girl. She says the girls nowadays don't know any thing about work. When she was young girls worked out in the field with the men, and even made shingles, split rails hewed logs and cut weeds. In all these Mrs. Gill bert participated, and many other kinds, except moving, which she could never learn. When asked about this summers heat she said: Perhaps 1 cannot stand as much heat as I used to, but I actually be- lieve this summer to be the hottest in the last fifty years' Mrs Gilbert uses no glasses and she does considerable sewing and requires no cane to support her when walking.
