NEW York, April 1.-The "John Bull, !"

railroad this morning, drawing one of the

shops of the Pennsylvania railroad this
morning in charge of Engineer Herbert.
Among the party Of officials on board the
cars, which were painted bright green,
were b. s. Hayward, Master Mechanic
Sandford, and E. P. Manders.
The novel sight of the antique 1ocomo.
tive and low-roofed cars as they rolled
through the Elizabeth station in Q cloud Of
smoke, which was emitted from the short
smokestack, attracted big crowd of peo
pie, who cheered the train and those or

Amboy Junction on the Pennsylvania rail

The train, with the engine, which is o.
English make, will soon be run to Chicago
to be exhibited ct the worlds fair.
The engineer Is exposed to the weather

ADVANCE In RUBBER PRICES.
Effect of Action by the United States
Company.

NEW York, April 1.-Consumers are
likely coon to have to face an advance In
the price of rubber shoes, occasioned by
the reduction which the United States
Rubber company has made in the dis
count to jobbers. The change dates from
April 1.
A local dealer said to day that shoes
which he formerly sold at City cents will
cost him ffty-six cents by the change.
What he could sell them at now he did not
yet know. Superintendent James Deshler
of the New Jersey Rubber company at New
Brunswick, N. J., one of the largest In the
Trust, said to day:
1.-THE cutting down of the discounts to
jobbers was necessary because all our COM
psnies have been losing money on their
rubber goods"
The United States Rubber company con-
trolls nearly the entire output of rubber
footwear. All the manufacturers are in
the concern except two, and these stick to
the scale adopted by the United States
company. The advance In price to the re-
tailcrs Ia about 80 per cent. The two lar
gest factories in the trust are those at New
Brunswick. It is well known that their
rubber footwear output has been costing
more than 1t brought. The operatives In
New Brunswick are already looking for an
increase In wsges.

Professor WItthaus In the Buchan-
an Case.
NEW YORK. April lin the trial of
DR.. Buchanan, charged with wife murder,
the defence to-day eross-examinad Profess
sor Witthsus, the chemical expert, who
testified yesterday that he had found one
tenth of grain of morphine in the stomach
of Mrs. Buchanan, adding that as he made
the autopsy forty-eight days after death
probably five grains of morphine were in
the stomach at death.
Professor Witthaus testified that In ap-
pearsncs morphine was crystalline. but he
failed to recognize any of a number of
crystalline poison from their appearance,
not even a bottle of sulphate of morphia,
which were offered for inspection.
Professor Charles Avery Doremus, who
assisted in the autopsy of Mrs. Buchanan,
was next called to the stand. His testi
mony practically went over the ground
covered by the other two experts for the
people without bringing out anything new.
He agreed with Professor Witthsus that
there was about one-tenth of grain of
| morphine in Mrs. Buchanrn's visoers.

Nearly Three Hundred Miners Are
Entombed by an Kxplosion-only
Seventy Men Reached the Surface
and They Were Badly scerehed.
LONDON, April IA frightful mining
accident occurred to-day In Wales. A
spark from an engine ignited the gas In the
coal pit near Pont-Y-Pridd, causing . ter
rible explosion. The exactnumber of lives
lost Ii not known, but 500 miners are en-
tombed. The engine house 10 In flames
and there is the greatest fear that most of
the miners have persisted.
The rescuers who went down were driven
hack without being able to bring up more
than Eve of the dead. The most agonixipg
scenes are witnessed, and throngs Of rela-
Hves of those below are crowded about the
mouth of the coal pit
Later sdvioes say: The pit Is worked In
sections, one seam being above another.
The Ere resulting from the explosion broke
out In the eastern section. From this Sec
ton seventy men succeeded In reaching
the surface through the main dip working.
They had q terrible struggle to get out.
They forced their way through FIRE and
smoke. Many were scorchsd and all was
exhausted, when they emerged in safety.
They expressed the fesr that all these left
behind them In the mine had psrished.
Additional details of the accident have
been received. The first alarm was given
at ESQ this afternoon. The sparks from
an engine In q four-foot seam are supposed
to have ignited q pile Of cotton waste.
The flames spread to the woodwork and
finally ignited the infammsble gas In the
seam. The two hundred men ct work In
the seam ran toward the landing. Many
were overtaken by fire and smoke, fell and
were left to their fate. Comparatively few
of the men who were in the seam reached
the landing.
At the entrance of the shaft rescuing
party WAS formed by the pit surveyor.
The party got as far as the landing at the
saam where the FIRE started but was driven
back by dense smoke. The surveyor took
his men back to the surface. After an
hours rest they went down again and
forced their way ten yards into the work
ings. They found four dead bodies, which
they brought back with them.
Attempts TO 60 further into the work
ings were vain, as the woodwork was burn
ing, and large masses of ruins were falling
necessarily from the roof. One of the
rescue party who ventured too far was
killed. The men who saved themselves
are unable to give any clear account of the
distribution of the miners In the mine.
Hand grenades, fire pipes, etc.. were used.
In two sections of the mine the FIRE was
put out. The extinction of the flames was
followed in each case, however, by accu-
mutation of gas. Another attempt to en-
ter the seam in which the fire started
proved resultless. Although the rescue
party saw six dead bodies, they were pre-
vented by smoke and heat from reaching
them. The number of men still In the
mine cannot be ascertaIned, although 1t Is
known to be above fifty.
At midnight the fire was again burning
in all sections Of the mine near th.r shaft.
The service pipe which was used to pour
into the mine has burst. The difioulties
in the way of quenching the fire have in
creased greatly and the rescue of the men
below is regarded as hopeless
