guns. Of these no are to be naval
guns. Already 25,000 workmen are

LONG LIST
F0f Dead and Injured Is
Reported.
Raging Waters Washed Out the
Tracks---Passenger Train Wrecked.


New Haven, Ct, March 2.-(Spl)-
1t is now feared that the list of dead
of the Plainville wreck on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
road, last night, may reach 20 at least.
Sixteen persons are missing this
morning and from the raging waters
surrounding the scene of the casual
ty, only one explanation can be made.
They were drowned when the car slid
into the torrent. The list of known
dead so far is:
Stephen Searles, engine driver, GO
years old; Barrows Edward, baggage
master, 36; VIM. Korp, fireman, 30.
| Two unidentified men passengers.
Nine of the injured are now in the
Hartford hospital comparatively well,
1t is said, excepting Chas. Neal, the
conductor. He has completely col
lapsed and it Is feared he will lose his
mind If he RECEIVERS from his severe
internal injuries.
The Pennington local left New Ha-
ven last night with passenger car,
combination baggage and smoker,ana
an express car. Shortly after seven
o'clock, when it was approaching
Plainville, it passed along a spot where
the Pennington river and an ordinarily
small brook, known as Eight Acre
Creek join. The brook had been
changed to wide river by the heavy
rain of the day and the back water
of the two streams washed a hole GO
feet long under the railroad track.
The embankment is 80 feet high. The
engine and baggage car got across in
safety, but the combination car broke
through and dragged with 1t the rest
Of the train. All piled together in the
bottom, smashing the cars to kindling
wood. Stephen Searles, the Oldest en-
gineer on the New Haven railroad was
found pinned under his engine.
VIM. Korpe was horribly crushed
between two cars, but insisted that
other persons he rescued as his case
was hopeless. He died soon after. Ed
ward Barows, the baggagemaster, was
found with a fractured skull. One of
the unidentified passengers was pulled
out Of the debris with his clothes torn
from his body. He was terribly man
gled. Charles Neal, the conductor, al
though seriously injured, insisted upon
giving what assistance he could to the
passengers of his train. He said that
( he had little idea of the number Of
lp&ssengers as he had not counted up
his tickets when the smashup occurred.
Several OF those injured We're able to
assist themselves from the wreck and
go TO the aid of others who were less
fortunate. ltg,

CAPE 1OWM
RivaIIed London In Rejoicing Over
News.

Cape Town, March 2.-tSpl)- )-The
furore caused by news of Ladysmith's
relief was unparalleled. The greater
part of the population was on the
streets today, singing patriotic songs
and cheering the Queen, Gen. Roberts,
Cecil Rhodes and Gov. Miner. Busi-
ness was ut standstill. Buildings
and the shipping in the harbor were
decorated with flags, guns were boom
ing and sirens and whistles blowing.
This evening there were illuminations
and fireworks, and the ships sent up
large quantities of signal rockets.
A mob, in an excess of patriotic fer
vor, smashed the windows of the build
ings where the News and the Ons
Land, Afrikander Bond papers, are
published.

PREPARING
For the Advance Upon the TransvaaI
Is Buffers Army.

London, March 2.-(Spl )-The Beers
seem to have gotten quite away from
around Ladysmith without losing a
gun or their baggage. Van Reenen's
pass is only about 20 miles from La.
dysmith. The enemy had artillery in
action Tuesday, and they probably
utilized both railroads in retreating
sending the heavy pieces to Pretoria
and the lighter ones into the Free
State. iN
After giving their troops a brief
while to recuperate, Gen. Butler will
prepare for his advance upon the enc
mys country. Unless Roberts meets
with unlooked-for resistance from the
Free Staters in his advance upon
Bloemfontein, Butler and his allies
will move toward Pretoria, the Trans
vaal capitol.

SEMl-PORCELAlN
To be Made by Akron
Stoneware Company.
Will Enter Field, Where Competition
Is Not so Close.

The Akron Stoneware Company will
enter a new field of trade as soon as it
is thought practical to do SO.
The company proposes to discontin-
ue the manufacture of stoneware and
will turn it's attention to the making of
whiteware goods. The grade of ware,
which 1t is proposed to make. is known
as white granite or semi-porcelain.
No new buildings will be erected by
the company, but the present plant
will be converted into a white-ware
factory.
The reason for making the change is
that the company believes that it will
he entering a field, in which competi-
ticn is not so close, as is the case in the
stoneware trade. The opinion prevails
among the stockholders that some of
the stoneware manufacturers must
sooner or later abandon the business.
and rather than do anything of that
kind, the company has decided to take
up another branch of the business.
