Asked whether the reduction In the

II believe not. The word rates re.

Opposed by Mullaney.
Mr.. Mullaney said:

the rates should be gone over by ex.

RESUME HUNT FOR BODIES.
A flood of water was poured on a
pile of brick covering the illfated fire
men and by 1920 it was cool enough
for the firemen to resume the hunt for
comrades. As the recovered bodies
were brought out, mangled, scorched,
and shapeless masses, a coroner's jury
which had been impanelled, forgot its
duty of inquiry and joined with fever

were lending a hand to the firemen.
Newspaper extras carried news of the
danger or death that had visited the
fremen and relatives and friends came
in throngs to the fire.

HAD JUST BEGUN WORK.
Bolton, England. Dec. 22.-Two
hundred and lightweight colliers
lost their lives yesterday in an exc
plosion in the Little Hutton colliery
of the Hutton Colliery company just
outside this city.
Eight were taken out alive, all in
serious condition from gases.
The explosion occurred soon after
the miners had entered the pit TO
begin work. Its force was terrific.
and the lower passages were blocked.
Heroic efforts were made by rescue
parties all day long. but a fierce
fire prevented the rescuers from
penetrating beyond 400 yards into
the workings.
t---g,ssBn-s TRYIS6~T6-SxVEs
Late at night the colliery fans
were started again and the air was
found TO be fairly good. Arrange
ments. were then made for relays
of resuers to go into the mine every
three hours throughout the night.
Towards midnight two more min
ers were found alive, making the to-
tai 10. They were terribly burned
and are in a critical condition.
Among the incidents was the
death OF a rescuer, who, anxious TO
reach his two sons who were en-
tombed. got in advance Of his COM
rades and forfeited his life from
afterdamp.
HOLD SERVICE FOR VICTIMS.
Inspector Gerard issued a report
after making a descent into the pit
in which he said it was impossible
that any Of the miners are alive.
He added that nothing could be done
except to bring up 20 bodies found
lying near the shaft.
This report was communicated 10
the anxious crowds around the pit
mouth. after which the bishop OF
Manchester conducted a service for
the dead in the open air.
No explanation is given as 10 the
cause OF the explosion. which COM
pletely wrecked the mine.
This is the second great mine dis
aster in England this year. an eX-
plosion in the Wellington colliery
at Whitehaven. Cumberland, on May
u, killing 1876 miners.
The explosion yesterday resulted
in the temporary disablement Of the
machinery whereby the cages ara
lowered and drawn to the surface
and il was a considerable time before
the first rescue party reached the
bottom.
