far beyond the span. a Brooklyn Hebrew Who Reached 109 Years. From the New York Herald. There seoins to be no doubt that a man who died in Brooklyn on Wednesday wus really 109 years old. So far as possible, tho records of his birth have been verified. This remarkable person was Mr. Hirseh Harris. lie was known as Rabbi Harris in the neighborhood of his home, but ho never was a rabbi, although a devout Hebrew. Ho died at his home, No. 253 Adams street, Brooklyn, and around his bedside stood his venerable wife, Rachel, who had iust passed her 90th year; his son, Louis, who is 50, and half a score of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The funeral ser vices were held yesterday afternoon, and the body of the aged Hebrew was laid at rest in a‘p lot at Washington cemetery. Mr. Harris was in good health up to three veal's ago, when his great ago commenced to tell on his physical and nervous forces. Hven since then ho had been a wonderful specimen of vitality. His form was nearly bent double from his extreme old age, but he could walk, and his venerublo figure, with his long white board, was still a famil ial- one in tho neighborhood whore he had lived many years. His mental faculties wore unimpaired until two or three years ago. DIED OF OLD AGE. His physician, Dr. C. C. Henry, who had attended Mr. Harris for the past year, says that death was caused from senility pure and simple. “I never saw such a man,” ho said, “he did not die from disease, but from general decay of the vital forces. He was tough as a pine knot.” Hirseh Harris, or Rabbi Hirseh, as ho was familiarly known, was born in 1778, at Pyntorkowi, ' a small village of Russian Poland, near Warsaw. He came of a long lived and prolific stock. He was one of twenty-one children and tho youngest of sixteen brothel's. Early in life he was em ployed in agricultural pursuits, and in 1805, at tho ago of twenty-seven years, he was married. In 1812, when Napoleon passed through Poland on his historic march to Moscow, Mr. Harris and several of his brothers were forced to join tho Emperor’s forces. At that time he was 94 years old, and Napo leon had a way of impressing into his ser vice all able-bodied men living in tno terri tories through which he marched. gis ESCAPE FROM NAPOLEON. Mr. Harris was on his way home one evening, riding on horseback, with a spade on his shoulder, when several French sol diers rode up and seized him. After a short tune at soldiering he made his escape, and, summoning his wife and child from their cottage, hid them in a neighboring piece of woods. While thus secreted ho had the pleasure of seeing the Emperor and his army pass. He always said that he remem bereil Napoleon’s features well. He wandered around the country after his escape from the army, and in 1815, when peace was declared, he went into the busi ness of manufacturing tho liquor known as kummel. He amassed a considerable fortune from his business and retired several years before he left his native country. He arrived in America in 1850, being at that time an old man of 72, according to the ordinary acceptation of the term. But Mr. Harris was still hale and hearty and ill fit ted for an idle life. He soon commenced business again, and continued it up to a limit four years ago, when ho became too feeble to attend to his affairs. He had resided in Brooklyn for the last twenty-seven years, and always said that it was the prettiest place he had ever been in. He was a man of considerable learning, an orthodox Hebrew, and was very strict in his religious observances. It was from this fact that he was called “the rabbi,” although he never ofiiciated in that ca pacity. Rabbi Hirseh had twenty-three great grandchildren living. A picture of Rabbi Hirseh, taken iri 1855, when he was 77 years old, shows the old gentleman to look extremely well and hearty. In His hand is a cane, which at that time belonged to his great-grandfather, who died at the age of 111 years. The cane is still in tile family, and will be kept as an heirloom. NOT A TEETOTALER. The rabbi used snuff all his life and was quite a smoker. He also used stimulants, but never to excess Ho took a drink of bitters before breakfast ©very day. llis son Louis said that his father while carrying a pail of water up the stoop three years ago fell and hurt his head, and he never fully recovered from this accident. ili-s. Harris, the widow of the rabbi, who is lit) years old, lias all her senses, and is quite spry for a lady of that age. She does all her own errands’ goes to the store for all her groceries and helps to clean the house. Mr. Harris, who was quite in terested in bis father’s history, verified his father’s ago by corresponding with friends and ilifieiajs iu Europe. The archives of the village of I’yotorkowi were searched a few years ago, and the history of the rabbi, as given above, was found to be correct. A FREAK OF NATURE. Six Kittens Joined by a Cord, Born In Frankford. From the Philadelphia Press. If Janies Hamilton hod collected dime Museum admission fees from all the strangers who have visited his house in the past two weeks to cxnmino his freaks he would have enough money to take a vaca tion for the rest of the yeur without once So nig Frankford, where ho lives. The source of such good luck would have j""ii Hamilton family’s cat, Minnie. She hud kittens—six of them—and when the Hamilton family’s small boy crawled under tlic front steps and lifted one ol'them by the back of the neck they all stuck together and sci" ecliod together. A closer examination revealed to the whole Hamilton family that hue the Hiomcso twins, the kittens were John and belly to belly by a little pipe of flesh covered w ith hair. They were so closely Filed that they could just stand comfort ably on their feet. They were perfectly formed in every other way and throe of tbcm wore striped like their mother and three were coal black. Tho link connecting the striped and black kittens was covered will, tho mingled hair of both. CROWDS OF VISITORS. They were taken into the house and com fbrtuhly Hxcnl. and tho news spread through Frankford. Mr. Hamilton, who has just Moved there, lived at 4!WJ Thomas street, mid the day after his discovery he hail to •'pen his doors to the public. Fooplo enmo JJj Hue from all over the place to see the ui’tens, and on the following Sunday there "a s a regular procession through tho house. Minnie, the mother of the kittens, seemed ® appointed in them, mid she would feed them more ns an act of charity than of Maternal love, it became apparent to tho f tiu ly that the suckling of One kitten was •dr life of all. They took turns at it, anil by the connecting link the kitten that fed supplied the rest with milk. A week ago tho kitten next to the West end of the siring got the insane idea that ho totlld kick himself loose. He kicked the end kitten in tho stomach until it breathed us last. death and amputation. Fir. W. X. K. Hoileau was sent for, hut lie Arrived too Into to do other than cut tho jettd kitten off. Before he could do this he lad to amputate its legs. IVhen the opera was completed, and tho ties that bound the dead kitten to the living had lrsm sev nisl, that kitten which hod purchased tho Ss‘* position nt the price of his brother’s mo liegun kicking the other way.

The doctor ranie and cut tho second kitten off, giving the third kitten the end of the line. This arrangement, lasted one day and tho last of "I'o blacks, after enjoying a hearty nvnl nt too trice cf n fctriued kitten's labor. turned up its toes and died. Tho doctor came and cut him off, tying the knot in tho stomach of the striped kitten, whose privilege it had been during life to stand next to his black brother. Then the Hamilton family moved ovar to 172 Sellers street. Its head did not leave the now address, but the masses found him, and last Sunday he held another all-dav re ception. By night tho kittens had been handled so much that tlie fourth one died and the doctor came and cut him off. This left two, but day before yesterday f ■ b°y E°t too violent in their play and pulled loose from each other, both expiring almost as soon as the cord snapped. Minnie, the mother, relieved rather than disheartened, has resumed her old life of spending her evenings out. She is much given to song, and had her ill-fashioned off spring lived there would have been no mid summer night dreams in Frankford. HOLMAN’S VAGARIES. A Chicago Bookmaker Nearly Para lyzes the Hoffman House Sports. From the New York Herald. A number of truly gorgeous enterprises were nipped in the bud yesterday at tlie Coleman House by the appearance of a policeman, who arrested one of the guests and took him to Jefferson Market Police Court. The prisoner was Frank Holman, a well known sporting man and bookmaker, of Chicago,who arrived here from that city on Wednesday and registered at the Cole man House. Holman was fin© looking, had a blazing diamond in his shirt bosom, a limitless stock of good stories at his tongue’s end and Elenty of money in his inside pocket, and efore Wednesday night was over ho had made the acquaintance of nearly every sporting man at tho big hotels along upper Broadway. On Thursdqv morning he came down stairs at the Coleman House and dropped into conversation with the clerk,-to whom he incidentally mentioned that a few days before he bad bought a 5-year-old horse from a farmer in Illinois, which, in a private trial the next day, had trotted a mile in 2:06%. The clerk was still marvelling at this great stroke of good luck when Mr. Holman added that he was going to Boston next week to take tho managership of a young pugilist, an “unknown” who on his native farm had often killed an ox with a single blow, and whom he was going to match against Sullivan to fight in Septem ber for 850,090 a side. A BIG WINNING. Mr. Holman disappeared for the remain der of the day, but came back in the eve ning and carelessly remarked that he had won $35,000 at the Long Branch races. During the evening he told several of his new acquaintances at the Hoffman House that he was being backed by a dozen promi nent politicians and millionaires in a scheme to buy Union Square from the city and lay out the finest race track in the world, where races would be run every day iu the year for enormous purses, and poo! selling would bo carried on under anew system that would insure every one half of his money back again in any event, with a chance of winning unlimited thousands. At this be wildering scheme several of his hearers be gan to look nervous and remembered that they had pressing busines elsewhere. Yesterday morning ho announced to his fellow guests in the reading room of the Coleman House that during the night he had won $1,999 from Mayor Hewitt on a pair of deuces, and that he was going to Washing ton in a few days to teach Mrs. Cleveland how to play baccarat so that she could “break” the French Minister when next ho called at the White House. FOUND TO BE INSANE. This was more than his hearers could stand, and one of his friends, Jenner Mc- Donald, of No. 113 East 120th street, at the urgent request of the proprietor, culled in a policeman, who persuaded Holman to go down to the Jefferson Market Police Court. When brought before Justice Gorman he warmly invited his honor to attend the opening game on a vast galvanized iron base ball ground which he was going to build on the top of iron columns running up from the roofs of the Fifth Avenue Hotel awl the houses thereunto adjacent. Justine Gorman gratefully accepted the invita tion and ordered Holman to be sent to Bellevue Hospital to be examined as to his sanity. Holman thereupon became indignant and raised such a row that an ambulance was summoned, and he was hurried over to tho hospital, where the physician at once pro nounced him insane. Some of his friends who know him in Chicago yesterday after noon had him transferred to Bloomingdale. Several years ago Holman was confined for eighteen months in an insane asylum in Chicago, but was then discharged as cured. Ho has since proved very successful in bet ting on sporting events, and it is estimated t hat ho has 8100,(XXI worth of property, real and personal, in Chicago. MARK TWAIN ON THE DOCTOR. Death of the Original of One of the “Innocents Abroad.” A dispatch from Harrisburg, Pa., to the Boston Herald says; Dr. William M. Gib son, who died in Jamestown, l’a., a few days ago, was the original of “The Doctor” in Mark Twain’s “Innocents Abroad.” Dr. \ Reeves Jackson, formerly of Strands burg, Fa., now of Chicago, who was a mem ber of t he famous excursion party, has been widely credited with being tho original of the character. “I had it from tho lips of Mark Twain himself,” says a prominent resident of this city, “that Dr. Gibson v, as ‘The Doctor’ of the story. I was editing tho Times at Sharon, "Mercer county, at thetimo. it was ten years ago. Mark Twain came to that place to lecture, and he and I became very well acquainted. Some time after ward he returned to Sharon and spent sev eral days with me. 1 gave a dinner in his honor, and invited u number of prominent citizens t>. meet him. Supposing, as a mat ter of course, that the two fellow voyagers would lie pleased to see one another and re - count incidents of their trip, 1 invited Dr. Gibson also, his residence being but a few miles from Sharon. I told 'I wain that I had invited tho Doctor, expecting to be re warded with warm approval from the great, humorist. On the contrary ho didn’t look a bit glad, and shaking his head said, in that m rth-provoking drawl of his: “ ‘ u el), that’s all right, I suppose, but I don’t know how Gibson and I will get along together. We don’t speak.’ “That w.is a wt-bftrk for mo, find tno only hope l had was that Dr. Gibson would Ik- moved by tho delicacy of tho situation, and stay away. But lie didn't. Ho camo as big as life. He didn’t speak to Twnm, and Twain didn’t speak to him. Tho con seouenco was what I had counted oil to bo one of the most delightful and enjoyable of occcasions. and one long to lie remem bered with pleasure by iny follow-citizens and myself, was stupid beyond description. The doctor’s presence cost a daintier on tho whole proceeding, although ho was a com panionable and desirable person to have in any gathering. Mark Twain mo/lo no si leech, and said nothing funny, iwo or three of inv friends tried to throw a little spirit into the occasion by neat s|tooelios and happy allusions, hat it was ol lio use. The dinner was a failure, and we arose from the ka#t I did—feeling ax if tho party hod been a funeral, and that wo wore tho chief mourners. , ~ , . “Twain afterward told mo what tho trouble was between him and the doctor. A is Mu tod it) ‘lnnocents Abroad, oti ono occasion during the trip a committee was am pointod to present an address to -no Lznr of li u sia Mark Twain wrote the address and rave it to tho committee to copy. Tho committee tore it all tn phices with changes of their own. Subs- quently the doctor went to Twain and made a modest * U take that address of yours,’ he said, ’aiid I’U copy it off. I’il sign uiy name to it mid you sign yours, and we ll ignore tho committee und present it out a.lves.’ THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1887. “The disinterested proposition was not ac cepted by the humorist, und when he wrote the book ho gave the doctor away by re lating tho incident. That made Gibson an gry, and he never got over it.” The death of L>r. Gibson brings to mind the fact that the original of Sir Oracle in “Innocents Abroad” was then and still is a resident, of Harrisburg, in tho person of Hon. Jacob S. Holdman. He was Minister to Sweden under President Buchanan. Dr. Gibson left a fortune of $4,000,000. He had just erected a monument to himself at a cost of SIOO,OOO. DELVING AMONG THE RUINS. Interesting Discoveries Beneath the Cathedral at St. Augustine. From the Jacksuni'ille (Fla .) News-Herald. Workmen engaged in removing the rear wall of the old cathedral and making ex cavations preparatory to enlarging and re storing the building, have recently made interesting discoveries, not only of graves, but of the mouldering bones of a number of bodies buried underneath the church. A little east of tho church the workmen unearthed a blue stone slab, which was found brokeu into throe pieces. The stono is about four inches in thickness, and con tains the following inscription, which is re markably' legible: Colin Mc-Kekkie, Gent.. Died (ilh of September, 1788. AEtatis, 34. The fact of his burial iu tlie church yard indicates that Mr. McKensio was an impor tant personage. As the English had posses sion of Florida between the years 1703-84, it is supposed that he was an English subject of distinction. Directly under the altar in the rear end of the church a vault was discovered contain ing the remains of Dr. Camps, as the records of the church show. Dr. Camps re ceived the appointment by tho King of Spain as BISHOP OF MAJORCA, an island in the Mediterranean sea: but he was never confirmed. During tho English occupation ho was sent to St. Augustine as apostolic missionary to the Minorcans, who had removed there from near Mosquito In let, whither they had been taken by Dr. Turnbull. The date of his death is unknown, but it occurred sometime between 1784 and 1800. The records of the church show that Dr. Camp’s body was removed from its original place of burial and placed in a vault under the altar on May 20, 1800. In another vault in close proximity to that in which Dr. Camp’s remains lay was found the hotly of Narcis.se Font, a priest much beloved by his parishioners, and who was ro-interred with imposing ceremonies within the church. Still another vault was found underneath where the altar to St. Joseph formerly stood, on the east side of the cathedral. The records have no account of the person who was buried iu this vault. SOME VALUABLE RECORDS have been discovered, also giving an almost complete history of St. Augustine from the year 1594, or twenty-six years before the landing of tlie pilgrims up to the “change of the flags,” when Florida became a terri tory of the United States. Some of these documents are worn and worm-eaten, but many of them can be easily deciphered, and when published will furnish the missing links of history which all accounts heretofore published of the Ancient <ity have lacked.
