CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.


Up of Powder Kegs.
SALT LAKE, Utah, May 8. 3.-Two hun
dred or more lives were lost in the eK-
plosion in mine No. 4 Of the Pleasant
Valley Coal company at Seofeld, Utah.
One hundred and thirty bodies
have already been recovered. The
work Of rescue is still progressing,
although there is no hope that any OF
the men who are unaccounted for have
escaped death. IN .s45
The scene Of the disaster is just out
side this place on the line Of the Rio
Grande Western railroad. The explo-
sion, which occurred in the winter
quarters of the mine, is attributed by
some to the blowing up Of q number Of
kegs Of blasting powder.
I The company has two mines known
as Nos. / and 4. The explosion oc-
CURED in No. 4. A special train
was sent from Salt Lake bearing Super
intendent Sharp Of the coal company,
Superintendent Welby of the railroad
company and some doctors. 55s
Preparing the Bodies for Burial.
I AS fast as bodies are reached they are
taken to the boarding ghouses and other
company buildings where they are
dressed and prepared for the coroner's
inquest. These buildings are numer-
,ous and in each are from 10 to 35 bodies
which are-laid in long rows. To those
who have been identified are attached
tags with name and address. These
await the coming Of relatives or friends.
n Two hundred collins have been or
,dered from the local undertakers to be
sent at once to the scene Of the disaster.
u The first news of the Scofeld disaster
received in Salt Lake gave the list of
killed at 20 but it was not until evening
that the full extent of the tremendous
calamity was known. As the list kept.
constantly growing, the anxiety Of the
people increased. The calamity was Of
such size and 30 unprecedented in the
history Of the state and even Of the
West that the mind did not seem able
to grasp it. s.2
h GhastIy and Pathetic Scene.
The scene was ghastly yet most pa
thetic. Between the blaekened and
stalwart bodies of the men lay about
dozen lads who had been engaged as
5couplers and trappers. Some lay along
side Of their fathers and elder brothers.
1t was a scene that made strong men.
turn away in tears. After the foul air
cleared away from No. the work Of
rescue began, and it was soon found
that great many miners Of No. had
been suffocated. The men Of the lower
levels had been warned Of the explosion
and had made their escape before the
gaseous air had reached them. Cars
were taken in and the dead were
brought to the mouth Of the mine. Here
the scene beggared description. Men,
women and children, relatives of the
dead miners, had begun to gather, and
as the bodies were brought out and rec
ognized by their respective families, the
lamentations were heartrending The
dead were all carried into the boarding
house directly opposite the mines. AT
midnight 1877 men, nearly all heads Of
families. were laid ont in the cold en.
brace of death.

I've From Defective HiAss and Dee Stated
y be - Inesndiary.
Three alarms OF Gre this week have
stirred our citizens up TO q realization
Of the fact that defective Anes and Ia
eendiaries are still the cause of many
blazers that destroy property.
Tuesday evening about five o'clock an
alarm Of fire brought one OF the hose
companies out In hurry. Fire had
been discovered burning through the
roof Of n. IS. Panl's residence and It
WAS slowly spreading and eating it's Way
along the caves when the hose company
arrived on the scene and In very few
seconds had stream Of water playing
on the blaze. The fire was extingnished
with but slight damage 70 the building
and contents. Had IL gotten beyond
the control Of the iremen several bust
ness houses would have been destroyed
before the fire could have been checked.
The second alarm on Thursday morn.
Ing about 2 O'Clock. proved to be false:
but an hour later the fire bell rang once
more. On account Of The false alarm
the 6remen were slow 10 assembling,
and Sam Carnahan had the blaze extin
guished before water was turned on
from the hose. The FIRE was Of incendi-
AIRY origin, and had been started under
the south end OF the old railroad Office
building near J0bnson's dock. A lot of
finely split pine wood, well saturated
with kerosene oil. had been carefully
piled around one Of the posts support
ing the building, and lighted. The
blaze had charred the side OF the build
ing and burned through in one place
when discovered.
Friday afternoon an incipient blaze
from burning hue al John Dingwell's
residence caused another quick move
meDt by the 6remen; but the fire was
extinguished, or kept from spreading,
by small hand hose, aud the liremen
soon returned TO the hose houses with
thecarts.
