BOND FORFEITED By
DEFENDANT ON TRIAL
Samuel KuPferberg Fails to
Appear in Court Today.
WAS ACCUSED OF CONSPIRACY
Case Against His Companion, Semel, Pro
ceeded With-Attempted to Secure
Money From the Traction Company for
Alleged Injuries in Falling From Car.

Samuel KuPfeTberg. who was on 5riaI
in Criminal Court No on a charge ni
conspiracy, today jumped his bond. His
surety is William G. Davis, who is cn his
bond for $4,000 entered into on August 81
last.
The trial of Louis Semel, who is Jointly
indicted with Kupferberg. was proceeded
with by order Of Justice Barnard. who is
conducting the proceedings.
When Kupferberg failed to appear al the
City Hall this morning there was some
surprise expressed by his counsel A mes
senger was Immediately dispatched to
Kupferberg's boarding house. The mes
senger was informed that the man had
not been seen there since Saturday last.
Bond Declared Forfeited.
As soon as this information vas re-
eeived Mr. E Richard shipp, of counsel
for Kupferberg, stated to the court that
had been made to locate him, but with
cut success. He then asked that the
court issue a bench warrant for the ap-
prehension OF the absent defendant.
District Attorney Gould objected to this
being done until Kupferberg was called
in court and his bond forfeited This was
done, and the trial of semeI proceeded
with
a Review of the Case.
The specific charge against Kupferberg
and SemeI is that they entered into con-
spiracy to rob and defraud the Metro
politan Railroad Company out of large
sum Of money. According to the testi-
mony offered by the Government, the
scheme concocted by the defendants is as
follows:
They were to board one of the cars of
the Metropolitan Railroad Company. and
one of them, ,SemeI, was to fall of and pre-
tend to be seriously injured. KupfeT berg
was to be a witness to the supposed acci-
dent and TO testify against the railroad
company In suit for damages.
On August last Semel and Kupferberg
did board a Metropolitan car. and Semel
fell off. He then made demand on the
railroad company for 81, 500 as damages
for alleged injuries, and upon refusal of
payment threatened to sue for larger
damages.
The trial vas begun last wednesday,
and on Tuesday Kupferberg testified in
his own defense Under cross -examinz-
tion by District Attorney Gould Kupfer-
berg made a very bad impression
The last person on trial before the
local courts to jump his bond while the
proceedings were in progress was Maxi
milan Fax, who was charged with vio-
Iating the law OF the age OF consent He
was afterward captured and sentenced to
six months in the penitentiaTy. He was
pardoned by President Mckinley before
his term of imprisonment expired.
Defendants Found Guilty.
noon against both defendants Motion for
new trial was Immediately made by coun-
sci for the accused.

The House this afternoon took up the
Cuban reciprocity bill in committee Of
the whole.
Mr. Mccall (Rep-, Mass-), q member Of
the Ways and Means Committee, spoke in
favor Of the bill He discussed the
economic features OF the bill, saying
trade between the United States and Cuba
would increase threefoId under its opeT-
ations and Cuban prosperity. He denied
that The proposed reduction would iu5ure
the beet sugar interests OF this country
It had been demonstrated in the case Of
Porto Rico that the benefit from the re-
dUctioR Of the duty went directly TO the
Porto Rican planter. and not TO the trust.
Compared with the cartel system under
which Germany exported sugar for about
2 cents a pound, while it extorted cents
q pound from the German people, the
American Sugar Trust, he said, was a
charitable institution.
Two years ago it was urged that the
trust would get the benefit OF the removal
OF the duty on sugaT from Porto Rico. The
result of the experiment showed beyond
direetIyto the Porto Rican sugar planter 90
It was simply quarreIing with an axiom to
maintain such proposition. There would
not be two prices for commodity Of gen
eraI use in the same market al the same
time. In order to discredit the cause of
Cuba the best sugar advocates brought in
the Sugar Trust. The trust was bogy
that IL was always safe TO batter, but this
bill is not in its interests. he said. How

Result of an Infraction Of the

Bad Accidents.
TWENTY-FIVE COAL MINERS PERISH
Others Are Badly Hurt, One O.
Whom Is Dying.
Shot, Firers Set Off the Blasts Before
the Men Were Out of the Pit
"BlOWn Blast" and
Coal Dust.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 1.-At44 AZ
o'clock D. m. yesterday an explosion
Of gas in the Nelson mine of the
Dayton Coal and Iron company, at
Dayton, Tenn, ignited the dry coal
dust in the mine and caused a terrific
explosion. twenty-five men are known
to be dead. Ten bodies have been re-
covered. Twelve bodies are still in the
mine. The dead are: Lark Hunter,
Alex. Taffer, James Franklin, John
Harvey, Tom Shaver, James Harris
and p. G. Travis-all white; George
Griffiss, Ben Griffiss, Reese Dean, Nor
ris Piersoll, Morgan Smith, John Rob-
inson, j. e. Hill, Bryant Smith and
Mack FOust-all colored; six others,
names unknown.
One of the Injured Will Die.
Fatally injured-W. II. Head, brother
Of James Head, superintendent of the
mine, burned internally and will die.
Seriously injured-James Riley, right
leg broken, bruised; Will Presnell and
William Scarborough, badly burned;
Arthur Hughes, Tom Cummings, Hen
ry Gonyon and George Wafford, all
seriously burned. All except the last
named are white men.
Cause of the Disaster Explained.
In the Nelson mine the men are re-
Qlired to use safety lamps. 1t is the
rule Of the company for the miners
to place their fuses ready to be lighted
for blasts just before quitting work
each day, and there are workmen
known as "firemen'' who go through
the mine after all the miners are out
and set off these blasts. The miners
quit work at 4:30 p. M. yesterday. 1t
takes them about forty-fve minutes to
get out of the mine. The two fire
men," who are supposed to have caused
the explosion, are Lark Hunter and
John Harvey. They shot the blasts
about 4:45 p. M, before all the miners
could get out of the mine. 1t is sup
posed that one of the fuses was de-
| fective and resulted in what is known
as a "blOWn blast"
Tremendous Force of the Blast.
The flame shooting out from the
blast ignited the gas, which in turn
ignited the accumulation of dry coal
| dist in the mine. The explosion that
followed was horrible in it's intensity.
1t shot out of the mouth Of the mine
and completely wrecked the shed at
the mine entrance. Three men were
killed while standing outside the mine,
and two seriously and one fatally in
| jured. This. mine has been the scene
Of two serious explosions in the past.
! In 1889 four men were killed and eight
seriously injured by an explosion of
gas. Dec. 20, 1895, an explosion of
mine dust occurred in which twenty
eight lives were lost. This was caused
by a miner carrying an open lamp,
contrary to regulations.
