to the effect that important special de-
livery letters, some Of which contained
money, have not been delivered has
caused Postmaster Robert Il. Springsteen
today to issue a statement OF explana-
ton.
".4oney and articles of intrinsic value
are being sent through the mails with
special delivery stamp attached by per-
sons who believe such stamp insures
safe delivery of the letter or parcel, F"
said Postmaster Springsteen.
'The special delivery service Is evil

class mail should be registered to In

parcels or NAH sent by other than first
class ought to be insured.
Registered mall Is sometimes slower
than ordinary mail because OF the neces-
sity Of affixing the signature OF every

But even in the midst of what she
termed "the happiest time of her life,

fortune might overtake him.

A OR MORE DEAD
IN RAIL CRASH
Canadian Train Derailed Near
Toronto.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 26.-At least
four persons, possibly seven, are dead
and score injured as a result Of one
of the worst train wrecks this section
ha witnessed in years. Grand Trunk
Night Express No. 49, bound from Mon
treal for this city. was derailed near
York, a few miles from Toronto.
While the wreck occurred last night,
the rescue work did not get under way
/ until today and the salvagers still are
confronted with great difficulties, for the
crash reduced part of the train to
| splinters. Beneath the mass Of debris
bodies are BURIED, but no one knows as
yet exactly how many. Two have been
extricated and two others are sighted.
The rescue workers directed their efforts
first on saving the injured, many of
/ whom were pinned under steel and
shrieked pitisbly for help.
The bodies removed rom the wreck
age so far are those of Nathaniel Brown,
Pullman porter, and an unidentified
man OF about 80.
| A corps Of doctors and nurses from
! Toronto and nearby places were rushed
to tn scene and are still working
feverishly.
One body, known to be still pinned I'M
der the wreckage, is that of a woman.
Seven cars were completely hurled off
the track Three were day coaches, three
Pullman sleeping cars and one a baggage
car.
The scene of the wreck being consider
ably out Of the way, much of the rescue
work had 20 be done under primitive
conditions. Lanterns gave the workers
the only light until day broke.
The versions Of the cause OF the wreck
are many. The most reliable appears to
be that a freight engine on an adjoining
track side swlped the passenger coaches
when the express train passed at ter
rifle speed Then, it is said. before dan
ger signals could be set. "A westbound
freight train plowed into the coaches that
had toppled over on to the freight track

orally understood that Cook will have first call on the position. Gaugh, Smith and Murphree are the phree in the lead at present.
 Hanchers is general pick for second base, while English and Menderhal are staging an awful fight for second string honors.
 Weir seems tobave shortstop cinched, while Duncan occupies the same posi- tion in respect to third base.
 Coach Mims seems to have his out field lined up as followsa Bell in left, Candy in center and Scokel in right.
 The Jackets are practicing daily and are in good condition for their first game.
 BESSEMER OUTLOOK
 Coach Collier of Bessemer has seven old men back as a nucleus around which to fashion his 1920 team. His squad is lined up as follows:
 East and Waller, pitchers; Carnes and Bonnet, catchers; Bailey, M. Waller and Merritt. infielders. These are the old men. New men are: Honeycutt and Boyd. infielders; Fischbach, Cross, Smith and Harkins. outfielders.
 East and Waller are outfielders as well as pitchers, and can be used in the gardens when need arises Coach Collier will say little about his squad, but the little information garnered in seems to indicate successful season for the Tigers.
 JEFFERSON COUNTY
 Jefferson County High School is having the hardest time of any of the five league teams in getting together a good baseball aggregation. An en- tire1y new staff of pitchers must be broken in. Only five men from last years team are back, namely: Rives, catcher: Little, second base; Knox, left field: Lynch, center field.
 Coach Clemens stated yesterday that he has no hopes of duplicating last sea- sons feat, putting out team which will win championship.
 The. Wildcats roster follows: Hen dersori, Weidenbach and Clay pitchers; Ware first base; Little, second base; H. Self third base; DeShazo, shortstop; i; center field; Wilson and Rogers, right field.
 Henderson Is showing the most promise of the Wildcat twirlers. Pros poets may brighten during the next few days of practices Clemens has had his squad out only three days at present.
 BIRMINGHAM AM-SOUTHERN
 Coach Crawford Rob of Bir- mingham Southern High School also Is handicapped in turning out a pitching staff. He has no line whatever on this department of his team, but has hopes of getting a successful twirling com bination from the bunch of candidates. out for the mound position.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-03-24

I Each team has been at work several ] days and within the next week should round into good form for the opening ] of the league. Coaches Burbage Mims, Collier, Crawford, Robertson and Clemens state that their teams will be going good by the end of the present week.
 GENERALS PROSPECTS
 Coach Burbage of Central has wealth of material from which 10 choose his varsity. Besides the six old men back, numerous youngsters and new men re- ported the first day of practice.
 The catching situation is giving the Crimson mentor little trouble. Gaylord. last year man. has first call on the posi- tion Chambers and Murphy are fighting it out for second strong job. while Ferdy Levvy is also putting in his bid. In Jake Levvy. Babe Levyy and Charlie Afford, Burbage has pitching staff that will be hard to beat in high school cir cles. Afford is a portsider, and will do duty as the hurler of this1variety for the lCrimsons.
 Chester Goldstein, last years man, is finding much opposition at first base from M. Majors and snip Williams Both Iof the latter are new men, but are show |inA up rather we'll
 Of the five men out for second, Cooke seems to have the advantage at present. The position is not decided however, and with farrell. Jaffe, J. Vincent and Gal baugh offering opposition. Cooke will ma trouble in holding his job.
 At shortstop, Burbage is finding his greatest trouble. Only two men are show ing any kind of promise at this position, Bruce and Young. BrEce is showing up rather well.
 At third, Henry is offering opposition to Hymen Goldstein, last years varslty man. but so far Goldstein has the call on his position.
 Despite the fact that all three 1919 men are gone. Coach Burbage is anticipating no trouble In the outfeld. Eight men are. out for the garden positions. namely, C. Vincent. Sacks. Harris, Ariel, Kaplan' Jones. Drehen and Feldman All are do- ing fairly well.
 ENSLEY FORECAST
 Twenty-Five candidates reported Tor practice last week when the call was sounded by Coach Mims, seven of whom played varsity positions last year. Ems ley should have a good team this sea- son for the outlook is brighter than Sior several seasons.
 The lack of pitching material is the only cloud on Mffns' horizon ~at pres ent W. Gaugh Burton, McLaren and Hanchers are out for the Yellow Jacket staff None of these have had much experience as pitchers.
 The catching situation is well taken care of by Cook, last years man. Frank lin is offering opposition. but it is gen
