TWO KILLED.
Boiler Explosion Saturday Near
WaVerly, W. Va.,
Kills Amos Miller, The Pumper, And His
Baby Daughter,
And Dangerously scalds and Burns the
Wife and NIother.-Narrow Escape
of Two Marietta Gentlemen
Who Were Enroute to
Buy the Inflated
Boiler.

Saturday forenoon about nine o'clock
boiler being used to pump well on
the L. w. Harvey lease near Waverlv
exploded with terrific force and caused
the death of Amos Miller and his two
year-old child and burned Mrs. Miller
SO badly that at last report she was in
a critical condition. Mr. Miller was
employed as pumper and lived near the
scene of the accident. The little one
had walked over to see him and, with
her father, was in the boiler house at
the time of the explosion. Mrs Miller
had started after the child and was a
short distance away when the boiler
let go.
Mr.. Miller was struck by a heavy
fragment of iron and nearly every
bone in his body broken. He was also
fearfully scalded and burned. When
picked up he was unconscious and died
about an hour later. The baby was
not killed outright, but fingered sew
eral hours, before death relieved the
agony OF its burns. The mother was
severely burned and scalded, which,
together with the great shock of the
death of her husband and child, causes
her condition to be most critical
No one knows the exact cause of the
accident, but it is supposed to have re-
the boiler.
The unfortunate family was highly
respected and the community was
greatly shocked by the sad occurrence.
The boiler which blew up was to
have been purchased by W. ]. Nelson
and John Roy, of this city, and both
gentlemen had left Saturday morning
for Waverly to close the deal. They
were delayed in starting and arrived
on the scene about thirty minute.
after the accident occurred. Had they
got away from Marietta as soon as eX
pected they would in all probability
have been in the boiler house and ser
iously if not fatally hurt

Made Upon Marietta People by a Crowd
of waverly Toughs.
The Leader of Saturday morning con-
tanned an item noting the departure of
party of Marietta people of the de-
nomination of the Church of the Living
God to attend a camp meeting at Mole
hill, w. Va. The party went up to
Waverly on the steamer Venus, disem-
barking to await the arrival of We.
hicle which was to convey them to the
camp meeting. While waiting for its
arrival they were attacked in villain.
Gus manner by a gang of toughs and
hoodlums, who had armed themselves
with sticks, stones and rotten eggs
Tie dresses of some of the ladies were
soiled by the flying missiles, but the
men of the party vert after their as
sailauts and scattered the gang before
anyone was seriously hurt.
This outrage and others which have
proceeded it indicate that Waverly is a
good place for respectable people to
shun.

The Health of tn. Hog.

In an address to swine breeders L.
A. Davis said: Always guard care
fully the health of your hogs. Provide
fresh beds once week. using disin-
fectants each time around the sleeping
quarters. troughs and adjacent
grounds. Airslacked lime and carbolic
acid are good disinfectants. Close
study and observation has led me to
believe that we can produce pork Of the
best quality at great deal less cost
than the average farmer has been do
Ing, and at the same time greatly re-
ducing the risk OF loss from disease.
One way to reduce the cost Of pork is
by reducing the time to produce. A
thrifty pig that will weigh two hundred
pounds gross, with meat well marked
with lean. is the most desirable for the
market Of the world to-day; and with a
good breed Of hogs. mature mothers.
proper care during pregnancy and care
ful treatment Of pigs. this weight can
be produced at six months. Keep the
pigs growing from start to finish. To
make the most Of the SOW. let her pro-
duce two litters year-I prefer March
and September for farrowing times.
Since some argue that fall pigs do not
pay, let me give one illustration: About
the 10th Of last October had Q SOW
to farrow litter Of ten pigs: NO spe-
cial care was given them. as the wealth
er was pleasant. and when the pigs
were about seven weeks old they were
turned into the artichoke field with the
SOW. where they were allowed to run
with other hogs all winter. except when
very muddy they were shut on. and
when the ground was hard frosen they
were fed some corn"

women ssor,,culsurusts.

women are working successfully h
almost every field. vick's Magazine
states that according to the census Of
1880 there were Sl2 commercial green
houses, or about one In fifteen, owned
and managed by women. We have .
personal acquaintance with several
women who are successful retail nor
lists. Other women, to our knowledge,
are making a success Of raising car
nations and other dowers for the
wholesale trade. These people soon
learn that the business Of raising and
selling flowers 10 beset by much care
and labor that do not come under the
head OF poetry. And yet nearly all
women florists that we have met were
led into the business because they drst
Of all loved flowers. It adds to the de-
light and success of any occupation II
one has q love therefor. There 10 no
question that. as rule. women have .
greater fondness than men for flowers.
Why, therefore, should they not en-
gage in growing and handling them for
pront? The rougher work about flower
raising, such as the care of greenhouse
onCCb, tuC h0h0AAh6 VA oOAA 0A0 AAAo-
nure and the like. can easily be done
by men who work for moderate wages.
II women are successful as florists they
are equally so as raisers Of vegetables
and smaller fruits. especially strawber-
ries: they direct the rougher work. help
to prepare the produce for customers,
and perhaps take in hand the selling,
thus keeping closely In touch with the
state of the market. Generally speak
ing, we think that the raising Of straw
berries near our best markets IL further
from being overdone than that of al
most any other kind Of produce The
consumption Is enormous and fresh
fruit brought quickly from the fields.
without large distance intervening,
always will sell considerably higher
than fruit long from the vines that has
been shipped. Much of the work Of
picking and handling small fruits is
suited to be done by women.
