Tuesday evening she went to the

A MINING DISASTER.

Fairmont, W. Va, May 16.-Six
miners lost their lives, five were ia
tally injured and three seriously
burned in an explosion at the shaft
OF the Gra'ycs Creek Coal and Iron
company at Pennington, seven miles
west of this city on the main line of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, yester-
day morning. The Georges Creek
company, Baltimore corporation,
had invested fully s1,OO0,0OO in the
mine, which is one of the best
equipped in the Fairmont coal region
The mine was only recently put into
operation and about 1926 men were
employed, orly 40 of this number un-
foreground. OF these Is were in o
portion Of the mine that has been
worked for some time and the re-
mander were working on headings
quite a distance away. One of the
men in the rooms, it is alleged, had
Struggled torch into the mine, as
torches give better light than the
safety lamps prescribed by the com
pany. At 3:15 o'clock the miner fired
a shot and the smoke, which was very
dense, caught fire from the torch and
spread to either the gas or dust and
the explosion resulted. Fortunately
the mine did not catch fire to any ex-
tent. The explosion vented itself
through the air shaft and almost de-
mohshed the building on the surface,
in which the fan was located. The
men on the headings did not know
there had been an explosion until
notified The air was soon turned in
and in short time the headings
were cleared Of foul gases and the
work o. rescuing the unfortunates
commenced. 1t was five o'clock be-
fore the work was concluded.

city 1902 religious gathering places
to a population of $4,000. The cree.
tion of unnecessary churches will ba

that Il neighborhood needs a church
q canvass of the people will be made
and the denomination possessing thu
most adherents will be aided by the
other denominations in the erection
of suitable edihce. A prime idea OF
the federation will be to stand as a
