The | body was followed by four others, all un- d ating of coal dust : gathered a crowd of men, women and children having friends or relatives among the missing. They watched the loaded cars with an air stoical or asked those who accompanied the bodies for news of their loved ones. In a rough building belonging to the Miners' Asso- clation the blackened corpses were washed and identified. Acting upon the suggestion of the Coroner, the shreds of clothing torn by the force of the explo- sion and the personal effects were placed in a box and labeled. The limited amount of space in the building made it impos- sible to admit friends and relatives who | wished to ascertain their identity to a certainty. There are undoubtedly a number of bodies under the fallen rock and earth in different parts of the mine, but they can- not be recovered for some time. Timber- ing and excavating are being carried on @s rapidly as possible. All of the men killed—or nearly all—were smothered by the gases and damp, al- though some may have died more easily from the shock of the concussion or from bc‘lln‘ blown against the walls of the tun- nel. The cause of t to every cne. he explosion is a myste: Not even the nlner: re;! | redith, a Hungarian who cannot speak English. | Tt would not matter if he could, as his | face is covered, with just a hole left for him to breathe through. Dan Meredith, Dave Lewls, Samuel Langwen and Daniel Hockyard were hauled out of the mine, more or less burned or partly suffocated. Meredith, as soon as he heard his father, Howell Me- had gone down after him, re- turned to the lower cross-cuts, accompa- nied by Dave Lewis, In search of his father, but had to abandon the search temporarily because of his condition. William Thomas, the outside foreman, is active in sending down and hauling back relief parties on the tramcars which run up and down the incline at intervals, which seem tediously long ones, but the condition of the mine is such that the work must needs be slow. The old timber chute, through which the Finlanders escaped at first, i about two and a half miles from town. There are several air shafts or chutes leading up to the summit and slope of ‘Wingate Hill, and these have afforded outlets for the damp and at the same time furnished ventilation as the damp was driven out. At the morgue an old man, the father of Richard Dare, tottered in and anxiously inquired for his son. A rough, but kindly disposed young miner, busy with the care of the bodies, being eager to save the old man a sight before which any strong man might quail, told him he did not think his son was there. The aged father left the building sobbing but still hoping. He was spared a vision of shapeless mass of charred flesh and rags. All this evening the rain has been driz- zling down and the town is in a mass of mud. In this rain and through this mud the silent processions, bearing upon stretchers the corpses and the Injured, have been slowly treading their way to the Morgue and the hospital, handling with tender so- licitude their grewsome burdens.
