Two Frightful Explosions In
Mines In Wyoming.
MANY RESCUERS Persisted.
Original Number Killed Was Eighteen.
Men, Numbering Over Forty, Die
While Trying to Save Their Fellow
Workmen.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. March 30.-Be-
tween fifty-five and seventy men, II
has developed. lost their lives In two
explosions In coal mine No. / OF the
Union Pacific Coal company. at Hanna.
The explosions were caused by gases
AMI coal dust. and each was followed
by fire.
The first explosion occurred at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. killing eight
cen miners, including a superintend-
ent and three bosses.
The second explosion occurred at
1880 o'clock at night and snuffed out
the lives of from forty to fifty res
cuers, including State Mine Inspector
d. M. Ellie. The names of the men
killed in the first explosion are shown
on the company's books, but those of
the rescuers are not known, as no
record was kept of those who volun-
teered for this dangerous work.
The widest excitement prevails In
Hanna and at the mine, where hun
dreds OF persons are congregated, In
GLIDING widows. children and other
relatives of the victims.
When the second explosion occur
red, additional appeals we're tele-
graphed TO all surrounding towns foI
assistance. One train Is rushing west
from Omaha, carrying officers Of the
Union Pacific railroad and OF the
Union Pacific Coal company.
Rescue Difficult.
The regular force Of men employed
at the mines Nos. Q and have been
pressed into rescue work, which is
extremely difficult.
The bodies of four of the eighteen
men who lost their lives in the nrst
explosion have been found, but, owing
to the increasing volume OF gas
which threatens to explode az any mo-
ment, no effort has been made to re
move them to the surface.
Fire started in the colliery last Sun
day. Since that time attempts AT
regular intervals have been made 70
extinguish the blaze. Finally ii was
deemed unsafe to send the miners
down into the workings, and they
were told not to report for duty
Superintendent Briggs, with the best
and most experienced hands in the
camp. went into the mine to fight the
fire. but the flames we're beyond their
control
The fire finally reached the gas, and
a terrific explosion followed. In a few
minutes many men volunteered 70
enter the mine to rescue any possible
survivor. Fumes of fire hindered the
rescuers. but they made some pro
gress. After a long struggle, the
volunteers got we'll into the mine
Then the camp was startled by a
second explosion that partly shut OF
the shaft OF the mine and most likely
killed the volunteers.
The victims are all below the tenth
level, and II is improbable that flames
have consumed the corpses.

WONDERFUL new PINK
Flower of Great Beauty Pro-
duced by Woman Florist.
FIVE YEARS SPENT AT TASK

Fragrant Blossom Combines All Fin,
Qualities Of Prosperity and Lawson
Specimens-BeaIs Hybrid Possesses
Much Desired Long, Stiff Stem ano
Firm, Expansive Flower.
After five years OF almost continuous
experimenting and study In the by
bridization OF plants Mrs. Edward b
Beals of Eastern avenue. Springfield
Mass. recently succeeded In reproduc
ing a pink from the Prosperity and
Lawson flowers which promises &c
bring her the distinction Of being the
discoverer of the finest pink In the
world.
The new flower combines all the rare
qualities OF both its progenitors.
Mrs. Beals. who. with her husband
has for years been interested In the
work of hybridizatlon and who is fol
lower of the writings and work OF Lu.
ther Burbank. five years ago began ex.
perlmenting with different species OF
pinks that had superior reputation
with the purpose Of rearing a flower
that might take place In the world OF
Horticulture as perfect blossom.
The much discussed Lawson pink Is
known as profuse and early bloomer
but 1t bas always been recognized by
florists as lacking the desirable long
stem. Moreover. the calyxes Of the
blossoms are often liable to burst
On the other hand. while the Pros.

has an extra long stem. 1t blossoms late
In the season and lacks the stiffness OF
stem which the shorter stemmed Law.
son possesses.
After numerous experiments Mrs
Beals hit upon the idea of rearing q
hybrid flower by using the Prosperity
pink as the sire and the Lawson as the
seed particle.
For three years after she had first
begun these experiments the flowers
produced seemed to possess few mark
ed points of superiority over its par.
ents. and last year the experimenter
was on the point of disseminating her
work with these two blossoms and try
Ing others when one day she found
among her blooms a wonderful pink
that seemed to conform in all points tc
the one which she was seeking to pro
duce.
Carefully she watched this flower
and soon found that the stem was both
long and stiff. the blossom firm. the
calyx full and unbroken and the color
perfect In hue. while the flower had all
the expanslveness and fragrance of the
high class parent.
Today the new pink Is a sensation
among all the florists in New Eng
land. Ii conforms i'm all respects to a
perfect pink. No other similar flower
possesses the stiffness and fragrance
which the latest Beals hybrid pos
sesses
The hothouses where Mr. and Mrs
Beals have been doing their expert
menting are filed with great masses OF
this new flower. some in pure white
and some in deep and light pink and
some a delicate combination Of these
colors. The hybrid also produces in
flaming crimson and a lighter scarlet
and is today being sent to all parts of
New England by the experimenter not
only because OF the increasing market
demand for II. but because OF the furore
which has made ii a novelty among
florists everywhere in the east

CROP REPORTS TUMBLE GRAIN
 PRICES HARD
Big increase of Wheat Is Esti- mated and European Mar ekts Are Weak-0ats and Provision Quotations.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The sentiment of the wheat pit was very bearish all day, and the market was under aeaVy selling pressure the greater part of the session. Influenced by declines d all the leading European markets. the local market opened weak, with prices of 1-Sq1-4 to 5-S03-4 compared to yesterdays close. When the visi- ble supply statement was given out later in the day. it fully justified the early selling pressure, as it showed an increase of 1,400. 900 bushels for the week, which is the largest gain ever recorded.
 Minneapolis reported an increase in stocks of 1,250,000 bushels for the past three days. Cash prices at Min |neapolis and Duluth were more than one cent below yesterdays close. Ex- port business for the day was reported lat fifty boat loads and prices gave promise of a much larger business. The market failed to rally from the, weakness and closed at about the bot tom.
 Corn was weak, with prices off 1-41 3-S to l 3-S.
 Oats were 1-4@3-S lower for cash. The market closed weak for futures, but firm for September.
 Provisions were steady early in the day but became weak on renewed liquidation of pork and closed lower at net losses of ' 1-2G16c to 35c.

MINERS REMAINS
 HORRIBLY MANGLED
FinIander at Oliver Drops Sev- eraI Hundred Feet Down
 Shaft-No Relatives.

Jacob Ojola, a Finlander employed at the Oliver, met a violent death yes terday by falling several hundred feet down the shaft. The remains. horribly mangled, were gathered in a blanket in the stump and hoisted to the top. The deceased had no rela- tiyes in America, so far as can be learned. He was a member of the Fraternal Brotherhood.
 The accident occurred about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, Ojola hay. ing gone to work with the [ o'clock shift. He was being hoisted to the top at the time of the accident. but was not on the cage when it reached the top. Search was at once institut- ed, and his remains found as stated. How the deceased met with the arci- dent is not known. He may have caught his clothing or a part of his body between the wall plate and the cage, or he may have tainted anu fallen.
 In it's journey to the bottom of the shaft, the body was horribly mangled. The head was beaten of until only the lower jaw remained, while the legs and arms were worn away until only stubs, with the bones protruding, remained. The ends of the limbs and the head had to be gathered in 8 basket at the undertakers.
 Judge Grier of Lowell held the in. quest yesterday afternoon at o'clock Funeral arrangements have not been made.
