' The diuster was the result of an explosion occaaloned by John Burgy, a nvlner, going Into one of the maga zine of the Daly West mtne with a lighted candle. His act cost him hi life, and the live of many other min er, beside. Hi own body was blown to Mom; not a fragment of his re mains have been found. Ail the other victim; are recognlxable, their face being eatrily Identified by their rela tives and friends. Dm.TrrPTrO.V OF EXPLOSION. The explosion occurred at 12:S0 last night and In a twinkling a most dead ly gas was being generated through out the mine.. It crept through every tunnel shaft, and Incline, and In a very short space ' of" time, score of the miners were fovnd face to face with death." v . - The shock waswthfc terrible and was heard for a Ion; way. although It was nearly S o'clock In Park City, a distance of three mile. When It is stated that a horao was killed at the mouth of the Ontario tunnel, two miles away, some idea of the force of the explosion may be had. The animal was In use ait" the entrance to the mine and was hurld against the wall and machinery with such violence as to be killed outright. Two other horses were also killed, the latter In Ontario, Mlmo as great a distance as the oth- icr. That the loss of life was not far greater than It Is. seem a marvel. RESCUING THE DEAD. The work of recuing the Imperiled and the dead was quickly and hero Icalty undertaken. The men were brought to the. surface Just a fast as the disabled machinery would per mit. Every msn who went down with the first rescuing party was overcome by the deadly gas and It was with the utmost difficulty that the machin ery was kept In motkm. v " Two of the dead are rescuers John McLaughlin and John Eckstrom. When It was apparent that all the remaining men tn the mine were dead and that any " furthw rescue work would be futile. It was stopped for a time, and at present nothing Is being done to recover either the bod ies nor will anything be done In that direction until after some of the dead ly gas has passed out of the mine. The miners who escaped state there wa. no smoke or fumes In the mines and the air was so clear and appar ently pure that the men did not know they were being asphyxiated. UTAH MINR EXPLODES.

Renewed, activ ity on part of the Chicago business men followed the settlement of the freight handler and teamsters' strike today and at the close of business hours tonight thousands of tons of freight had been sent to and from the various freight depot. Every one of the 21,000 strikers who could obtain employment bad returned to work by 2 o'clock In the afternoon. The strike, it is estimated, ha cost the busings men of Chicago JIO.OOO.OOO and In order to guard against such In the future they are prepared to begin an educa tional campaign In opposition to sym pathetic strike. The AsAjciatlon of Railway General Managers, embracing every road wblch enters Chicago, have issued the fol lowing statement: All of our old men now here on band for work, reported at the frelgfothous- es at noon today and were put to work. No conference was held with any com mittee or otherwise since Tuesday and no agreement was made with the un ion or with any committee. The men sfmply reported for work, and they doubtless expect and will receive the pay offered July I, and which the rail road companies fcare been willing all along to pay." , -.' After 10 days of strife, the Chicago freight-handlers' strike terminated to day in an unqualified victory for the railroads. A meeting of the strikers presided over by President Curran. re- suRed In an almosJt unanimous rote to return to work, leaving the wage scale and other question for settle ment between the men and Jtheir re spective roads. ; , -; At the conclusion of the meeting, the atrlkes went by hundred to the ware houses to apply for their old posi tions, and the teamster who have re mained out In ympathy again took up their reins. ' By noon immense quatltles of freight w-bich had been held bark for day were being rushed to the- radlroads, or taken , from the warehouses and cars. Where stagna tion had ruled, commercial activity again reigned. Chicago merchants expressed un bounded relief at the termination of hostilities, but they were scarcely less happy than the men themselves, al though the strike is estimated to have cost them $10,000,000, to say nothing of the trade that has been permanently lost to them. , LEADERS CHARGE TREACHERY.
