HEROIC MINERS DIE
Forty Rescuers in Search of Dead Comrades Go to
 Their Death.
MINE INSPECTOR A VICTIM
Twenty re-Fightcrs Killed by One Explosion, and Volunteers Meet
 a Second.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, March 29--Be- tween ffty-five and seventy men lost their lives in two explosions yesterday and last night in coal mine No 1 of the Union Pacific Coal company at Hanna. The explosions were caused by gas and coal dust. and each was followed by fire.
 The first explosion occurred at 3 o'clock. killing 1s miners. including a superintendent and three bosses.
 The second explosion occurred at 1o:30 o'clock last night, costing the lives of from 70 to 30 rescuers. includ- ing State Mine Inspector D. M. Ellie. The names of the men killed in the first explosion are shown on the com pany's books. but those of the res cuers are not known as no record was kept of those who volunteered for this dangerous work.
 The widest excitement prevails to- day in Hanna and at the mine. where hundreds of persons are congregated including widows, children and other relatives of the victims. Men and women are running about wringing their hands and crying, while many little children, separated from their mothers. are sobbing with fear.
 When the second explosion occurred additional appeals were telegraphed to all surrounding towns for assistance. One train is rushing west from Omaha, carrying officers of the Union Pacific railroad and of the Union Pacific Coal company.
 The regular force of men employed at mines Nos. and 2 were pressed into rescue work. which is extremely difficult.
 The bodies of four of the IS men who lost their lives in the first explosion were found last night but owing to the increasing volume of gas which threatened to explode at any moment, no effort was made to remove them to the surfaoe
 Fire started in the colliery last Sun day. Since that time attempts at regu- lar intervals have been made to ex- tinguish the blaze. Yesterday it was deemed unsafe to send the miners down into the workings and they were told not to report for duty. Supt Briggs. with the best and most expert enced hands in the camp. went into the mine to fight the fire but at o'clock | the flames wee beyond their control. At 3 o'clock the fire reached the gas and a terrific explosion followed. In 2 ! few minutes many men volunteered tC enter the mine to rescue any possible survivor. The fire hindered the rescuers but they made some progress. After 2 | long struggle the volunteers got wei ! into the mine. Those on the surfact had begun to expect results from the intrepid daring of the rescuers. but al ! 10:30 o'clock the camp was startled b, a second explosion that partly shut of the shaft of the mine and probabl, i killeed the volunteers. The victims
 are all below the tenth level and it i likely that flames have consumed tht 1 corpses.

TWO ALARMS; LOSS S10
Curtain Fire Brings Out Many
 Companies.

Because some lace curtains in the apartments of Max Rutenberg on the second floor of the twelve-family apart ment house at 254 Cedar street caught fire early yesterday afternoon the fire department received two alarms of fire and thought for time that a real con- flagration was on their hands. The first companies were just pulling in at the scene when one who apparently was not satisfied with the number of com panies which was appearing for one alarm gave box 127 another pull and brought out a second alarm contingent The occupants of the house had al ready extinguished the flames when the first company arrived so it was noth- ing but return to the house for them The loss will amount to the easy side of Sl0. Max Ginsburg is the owner of the building. The curtains caught fire through blowing against a stove.

MAY STRIKE TO-DAY
No Definite Announcement Regarding
 Piece-Work Wages Made Yet.

Railroad men are very secretive about the outcome of the meeting with the officials in Boston, Saturday, and one of them stated last night that no result has been arrived at. He said that the officials of the road would confer with the employees com mittee later in the week, and that un- til then he expected no action on the part of the men.
 All but twenty-five of the employees at the Spring street shops have been discharged, and there was some doubt expressed by union men if these twenty-five would work to-day. The men have refused to work on piece work, and the railroad has not lefin- itely announced that it will put the men back on the old wage scale. If the road insists on the piece work scale this morning the twenty-five men will strike.
