FATAL ACCIDENT
In the Mines at Toms Creek in
Which Six Men Lost
Their Lives.

On last Thursday evening about 6
o'clock an explosion occurred in one
of the coal mines at Toms Creek in
this county and 6 men lost their
lives.
We failed to learn the cause of
the explosion, but it is supposed to
have been caused by either the dust
or some dynamite. Most Of the men
had left the mine when the explosion
occurred, or the loss of life would,
no doubt, have been greater. lmme-
diately after the explosion rescuing
party Of four started into the mine in
the hope of assisting those inside,
and two of them were overcome with
gas and died. Four of the men in
the mines at the time of the explo-
sion failed to get out before they
were suffocated by the gas.
On Saturday, as result of the ex
plosion the slate ia the same mine
fell in and for time 1t was thought
that 80 men were entombed, but such
was not the case, as no one was IN
the mine at the time.
An evil spirit seems to be reigning
over Toms Creek, as the accidents
that have occurred recently at that
place are quite numerous and fatal.
The company has, however, done all
in its power seemingly to keep the
mines in good shape and to prevent
accident, and those that have occurr-
ed are of the kind that frequently oc-
cur in coal mines, and for which no
one seems responsible.

Look After Your Property.

County Treasurer II. {. Stewart
informs us that lie will commence
the first of next month to make off
his delinquent list for 1899, and that
those who have failed to settle their
taxes should DO 40 at once in order
to prevent their property appearing
on the delinquent list. Property
holders should be sure their property
is properly assessed on the land
books, as in the transfer of names it
occurs that property is charged to
the wrong persons, aud frequently
the rightful owner, to his surprise,
sees his property advertised az delln-
ouent. This could be avoided it
every Que would see to it themselves
that the taxes on all their property
is promptly paid when due. A word
to the wise is sufficient.
