The volume of travel Is Just as big at
the Union station and the station masters
and gatemen there report that It has never
been surpassed. The fact that the traffic
has started early is gratifying to the rail
road people because It spreads It out over
more days and so avoids a crush at the

WOMEN IN DIFFERENT LIGHT
Marriage Contract Over Two Thou
saad Year Old Deciphered
jr Egyptologists.
TOLEDO. O.. Dec. 21. A marriage con
tract over S.OiO years old discovered In a
tomb near Cairo, Egypt, and now fn the
collection of the Museum of Art, Toledo,
O.. lias. It is announced today, been de
ciphered by the egyptologlsts at the Uni
versity of Btrassburg, Germany, and found
ta be from a historic standpoint one of the
most Important documents brought to
light In recent years. Oooige W. Stevens,
director of the Toledo museum, cays:
The papyrus determines two matters of
great importance. It establishes the period
- of an Egyptian Pharaoh, whose time, ot
reign has b.-en hitherto unknown, and gives
us documentary evidence of the exalted
financial position accorded to married
women In Egypt three centuries lfore
Christ a position almost undreamed of
itnd unhoped for by the most enthusiastic
ihw woman of these modern day. The
lost pharaoh whose, period of reign Is es
tablished la Khabbasha, and the time la
1M1 B. C.
From the translation It Is established
that In case the wife repudiated the hus
band she allowed him to take back half
his dower. This is the reverse of modern
customs, especially In European countries,
where the wife Is expected to contribute
the dot or dower. The Kgyptian husband
not only received nothing from the bride.
'. but had to put up a bonus to make him
self a matrimonial possibility. The docu
ment shows that In case of a separation
he was allowed by the wife to take hut
one-third of the moneys they should have
' acotilred together, during the time they
were murrled.

NO ORDER YET FROM OVERLAND
I n Ion 1'aclflc Officials gar 8och Action
Will Depend on VMamo of
Business After first of ,
Year.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., tec. 21.-Orders
from the general offices of the Southern
Pacific In San Francisco were posted yes
terday In, the local railroad shops to the
effect that the shops will dose with the
exception of enough men to handle round
house work next Tuesday and remain
closed until January 1, It Is stated unof
ficially that aftee-the first of the year tho
force In each of tho shops will be reduced,
or the men will be given from three to four
days a week. It also said that a similar
reduction will be made all over the Harrl-
man system In the west. Two thousand
men will be affected In this city.
"I presume the yuostloo all depends upon
conditions at the first of the year," said
T. M. Orr, assistant to Vice President
Mohler of the Union Pacific. "If business
dros off to any great extent I presume
they, will not need the present large force
which ! maintained at the local shops. It
may not be necessary to reduce the forces
or to cut the working time of the men, but
It Is a matter which will have to be de
termined after the first of the year."
Mr. Mohler, himself, was out of the city
when tl.la press dispatch came. The Bee
mas given to understand that no ordeia
had been Issued to W. K. McKeen, super
intendent of motive power and machinery,
and therefore head of all the shops of the
Union Paclflc, corresponding with the re
port from Sacramento. Huch an order, St

ager Mohler. lie left Friday for Salt

Mr. Orr Saturday morning confirmed the
report published In The Bee that orders
had been given for a week's layoff of shop
forces for the holidays for the reasons
stated, but he said no orders for a reduc
tion In the force had gone out.
Outside of official circles there Is a be
lief In the credablllty of the Sacramento
report and the order for a week's holiday
la taken aa merely a forerunner of a sec
ond order for a shorter force.

RECESSES OF MINE EXPLORED
Death List in Darr Mine May Reach
Three Hundred.
MUCH DISTRESS AMONG PEOPLE
Bodies Recovered Terribly Mutilated
Total Death List at Monon
srah Mines ho Far Three
Hundred and Forty.
JACOB'S CREEK, Pa., Dec. 21. In the
short distance rescuers were able to pene
trate the Darr mine, the scene of Thurs
day's awful explosion, last night and to
day half a dozen bodies were found and
brought to the surface, making the tytal
number that.have reached the morgue Hip
to noon twefve.
While a vast amount of work was done
during the night, not much progress was
made toward the entries In which the
great mass of bodies are entombed. The
danger of another explosion is lmlnent
and the rescuing forces dare not venture
far ahead of the forces erecting the tem
porary brattices. Vast quantities of gas
have been encountered and the volume
seems to be steadily Increasing.
Company officials have ordered that ex
ploring parties shall advance only as fast
as the passageway can be cleared of gas,
ventilated and otherwise made safe.
While what appears to be the most re
liable estimates on the number of victims
are near 200, there are many who Insist
that the final list of dead will contain many
more names, possibly 900. Michael Hal
lapy, national organiser for the United
Mine Workers of America, who has as
sumed charge here for the organization,
says:
"I have made a house to house canvass
among the families here, and am certain
that there are 300 dead men In the Darr
mine."
Mirk Bafferlogc Prevail..
Evidence ot much suffering and distress
among those dependent upon the victims
has already been disclosed and steps have
en taken to organise relief committees.
The Ccnncllsvllle Board of Trade last night
subscribed $100 and called a meeting for
today with ministers of all denominations
to organize a perpanent relief committee.
New ilaven tocpV similar action. McKeea
port has also atarted a relief movement,
wni,e In Pittsburg funds are being raised to
be distributed among the suffering from
the three recent disasters.
James E. Koderclk, chief of the state de
partment of mining, has ordered the nine
mine inspectors of the state to meet here
today with him to assist in rescue work
and to Investigate the cause ot the ex
plosion. " Rescue work is necessarily slow, .but- it
Is believed a number of victims will be
brought to the surface before night.
Rescuers have penetrated the mine t.OOO
feet, but a majority of the dead are ex
pected to be found a distance of three miles
back In the pit.
Of the bodies so far recovered all i
