It oppoais that at longth ono of -these miscroants has beon secured, mainly throu&h tho instrumentality of. tho wife of a settler named Charles Worrall. She sow tbe man in her house, and when ho ran away followed, and j 10 ld hira until a.sistaneo arrived, whon ho waa handed ovor to tho polioo. 110 proved to be a well- known character named Henry Atkin, alias Dalton, alias Millwood.

Mr Mucky moved thut it is undesirable to break the basis of union and that it bo preserved in accordance with present arrange ments.—Mr Buchanan moved that a commission be appointed to visit tho two congregations to endeavour to harmonise their dillercnccs.-—As neither this motion nor tho previous one had been seconded, they lapsed.—Rev. it.

THE BULLI DISASTER.

Sad and Sickening Scenes. CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION. Bvlli, Friday. The ghastly work of searching out and re moving tbe bodies from tho awful pit was continued all cay. Crowdß were gathered round tho mouth of tho tunnel, whence every now and then four miners would bo seen emerging with the remains of their fellow-workmen, and bearing tho corpses on a stretcher to the old shed. Some times as many as 15 could be seen laid out in the shed in readiness for the coffinß, which tho carpenters could not supply quickly enough. This was a hor rible picture. The several entrances to the shed were guarded by policemen, who strove hard to keep tho friends of the dead from getting in. These poople with others, however, loitered about the place all day, stood round the windows, and rushed to the doors whenever another of tho unfortunates was being brought in. This, of course, impeded the work, and the dead wore only got away slowly one by one at a lime. Throughout the day body after body had to be identified, and different persons were called in for that purpose. The name was then written on the coffin in chalk. In some two or three instances the word " unknown" appeared, and the remains were placed in a dray or waggon for interment. This ceremony, bad enough to witness, was rendered most painful by the sobs and wails that could bo heard on all tides from widows and orphans, and mothers and sisters. Nearly all tho bodies discovered today were very much bruised and broken, showing that tho shock was most severe at tho innermost part of tbe pit. A boy named George Robinson, whose occupation was a wheeler, was found jammed in between the axle and the bottom of a truck, the whole of his body being rolled up in a space of one square foot. Some difficulty was found in secur ing the identification of tho mangled remains. The body of another lad was brought in doubled up in a hideous manner with tho head and face smashed in. His old grandfather tottored over, gazed steadfastly on tho corpse, and then burst into tears. A young woman, dressed in sombre black, with a babe in her arms, was standing beside a dray containing two coffins, and crying out, "Imußt see my hußband, I cannot go away till I see him; take him out and lot me see bim." To Batisly the poor creature the lid of the coffin was unscrewed, and tho scene that followed must be left to the imagination. At the burial ground the spectacle was ono of a most exceptional kind, reminding one of the devastating effect of Borne dread ul plagueorofabloodybattle. Gravediggers were there in dozens, and the coffins were piled in heaps, while the clergymen were eDgaged in reading the burial service, solem nising the last riteß of the Christian Church. The inquest was resumed this morning on the bodies recovered. Some evidence may be forthcoming, but this is unlikely. The whole Btory may be told in three words— " Someone has blundered," A SURVIVORS STATEMENT. Richard White, underground overmaD, said to a reporter: "I usually make it a plan to go into the mine two or three times a day. I had been in before dinner on the day of the explosion. Immediately after dinner I went in again about three quarters of a mile to the Grip district to clear a place in a fall to go to dinner to a miner named Harriß on tho opposite side who was busy making a hole, when tho gas explosion took place about 2 40p.m. and blow out the lights. Thoro was a young follow with me, and we thought tho noieo wo heard was a heavy fall of stone, and we Bat down to get a light. Luckily wo managed to get a light. I went out on to tho return, and I found tho air was very good. We then went back again to the hole and got through it, and had gone some distance when I emelt something very peculiar, like foul air. I asked my companion if he could smell it. He said he thought it was fuse. I told him to hurry out, as something dreadful bad happened. Ab soon as we got out to the air course we could see nothing, not even our lamps, on account of tbe presence of otter damp, which appeared like a dense fog and smelt terribly bad. I put my cap over my mouth, and told my mate to do the some. I never thought we would Burvive. I believed my last moment was at hond. It is surprising that we got out, because we had a long way to go before reaching tbe fresh air. When we got out about midway between the place we had been working at and the furnace, we came up to a man and two bovß, and they were wondering what was the matter. I told them to untie the horse and fellow us. We kept running, and when we reached the furnace we were not safe even then. We heard a terrible rumbling, eome thiDg like a heavy fall of stone. This kind of thing is often mistaken for an explosion of gas. It was generally understood that there was gas in the Hill End. We took every precaution in regard to the safety lamps we had. The miners who had to work in tho gas district were searched several times a day to see that they had no matches or pipes on them, and we would not even allow them to powder their own hole. We had a special man for that purpose. We exercised the greatest care. All the men who were lost were working within a radius of 200 yards, and none but safety lamps were allowed in use there."
