WEST VIRGINIA NINE EXPLOSION.
SEVEN ARE DEAD.
Many Workmen Severely Burned in a Coal
Mine Disaster al Farmington-Naked
Torch Caused The Trouble.

Seven men were killed and seven
more were seriously burned Wednes-
day by an explosion of fire damp In
the shaft of the Georges Creek Coal
and Iron Company's shaft at Farm
ington. W. Va. The last of the dead
and injured were removed from the
mine after half hundred willing
workers had toiled eight hours In the
wreckage and binding gas to recover
the imprisoned men. The cause of
the explosion has not yet been de-
termined, but II Is thought to have re.
suited from the ignition of the fire
damp with lighted torch.
But II of the band of workmeD
were unable to reach the outer at
mosphere. Burned to blackened
corpses, some lay In the midst of the
lanes. Several were entombed and
died of suffocation. Eight others suf-
fered still more horrible torture.
When the gas was ignited they were
penned in by the suffocatlng vapors
and groped about In terror. seeking
some avenue by which TO escape from
the vault of death in which they had
been entombed. A few staggered
from the entry and were able to cry
for help. ana one or two bravely re-
turned To the depths of the mine and
tried TO assist their less fortunate
comrades.
Less than 10 men were In the uine
when the explosion occurred. Those
employed on the outside of the shaft
promptly summoned assistance.
The damage TO the mines Is very
slight and 1t was stated by member
of the firm that $1,000 would repair
the property loss.
Coroner Fleming. of Marion county
visited the scene and will investigate
the cause of the disaster 1t Is said
tnat an insufficient number of fans
were used and consequent lack oi
ventilation was responsible for the ex
plosion.
