largo fan which supplies the air los
the mine The fan did not, stop
however, but after the frst .bock it
Iresulsed'its ilstt spaed. Mr..
Ward, noting fliis. thought that
nothing Of a serious nature had oc-
currsd and he @ds stiD at the Office
when the mine foreman Il. Woods,
Gang in and notifed iisll ,that tiei
egp sion was Il seri6als one. They
lmH diately reversed tile current on
the fan 80 as to make it exhaust and
force the foul air but Of the mine
via The return course.
With this done, he and Woods
planned course Of action ia order
to make the saving Of life practical
and safe and TO prevent the rescuers
from being caught in the after es-
plosions, which frequently occur.
Upon entering the mine the res
cuihg party found bodies scattered
over d distance Of five hundred feet
where they had struggled 10 reach
the open air
There were nearly one hundred
and twenty-five men at work wheit
the explosion occurred. ThIc eIi95
were alive were taken out by the
first rcscuing party.
At the time Of the explosion the
motor car which moves the ears i'll
the mine was almost at the extreme
end Of the mine. Henry Jones, tie
motorman, stated that he had
train Of two hundred cars and he
Immediately made break for the
mouth Of the shaft in order 10 give,
the men a chance to have a clelf
road to make their escape. Tie
smoke was so thick in the nfine that
he could not see his way and a short
distance from the point .he OK
plosion took place he run down
Adam Zincovieh and killed him.
The funerals Of some Of the VIC
tins took place Saturday and Others
will be buried tomorrow. Collins
have arrived from Pittsburg and
from GAINESVILLE, o., and the bodies
are being fast prepared for burial.
The officials Of the mine stated that
the sbodies Of the victims will be
Shipped 10 any point their friends
and relatives desire.
General Manager Rcni. BisseIl, Of
Baltimore, who arrived here Friday,
stated that the mines will reopen
as soon as the victims are buried and
a report has been made on the aeci-
dent by the mine inspector. The
mines are not damaged TO any great
extent and the repairs necessary will
be, slight.
Coroner ]. r. Clanoweth, Of
Philippi, held an inquest yesterday,
and the jury returned ayerdict that
the explosion was caused by dust.
The verdict was not satisfactory to
the mine officials, aud another in
quest will be held today. in which

old Time Gapes Remedies.

When the young chicks have the
gapes there are several remedies that
be used, says the Feather. Onions
or garlic chopped very fine and fed to
the young chicks is recommended. We
have very little faith in this as a cure.
Fine powder sifted down upon brood
Of chicks in box, slaked lime being
often used. will sometimes cause them
to sneeze so hard as to throw a suffi-
Gent number of gapeworms out of
their windpipes to relieve the nausea.
This is no certain cure. A feather strip
ped of the web up to within an inch Of
the point and dipped in solution of
an ounce and half of sweet oil and
half an ounce of turpentine thoroughly
shaken together, then introduced into
the windpipe and turned about will
usually destroy all the gapeworms.

Pruning Japanese Plums.

The Japanese varieties of plums on
account of their wonderful rapidly Of
growth almost without exception re-
quire an annual cutting back of the
new shoots from one-half to two-thirds
of their length. Unless this is done the
trees viii soon become i'll shaped I'M
necessarily occupy much space and
early become broken and unhealthy
through the wasteful expenditure Of
energy in the excessive production of
very poor quality of wood. This an
nual heading in Of new growths will
result in the rapid multiplication Of
vigorous new shoots; hence effective
thinning as well as cutting back will
be necessary.

Exercise For Poultry.

Poultry should be furnished with
means for exercise Birds of small size
fly for exercise as well as to reach the
distant points they aim at, says Poul-
try News. But our domestic fowls,
though seemingly constituted for the
same mode of progression, fail to do
much with their wings, and thus their
legs and claws are called on to do dou-
BILE duty. Not only do they keep up a
perpetual tramp, tramp" with their
forked drumsticks but they ransack in
all possible and impossible places APP
parently just for the fun of the thing.
The truth is, however, that the great
law of nature holds good in this lower
department of animal life as well as in
the higher Exercise, activity, move
ment, progression-these are the condi-
tons for health, happiness and pros
perity through all the gradations of
life. Fowls are without doubt of a
more active, stirring temperament than
any other class of domestic animals,
and we are very unwise to attempt to
restrict them.

How TO Keen Hawks Away.

We have little faith in the ability Of
martins to keep hawks out of the way
and prefer to depend upon some other
plan of frightening the hawks, says
Reliable Poultry Journal. We erect
poles about ten feet high twenty to
fifty feet apart and string from the top
of these wire or heavy Irvine zigzag all
about the poultry yards high enough so
that man can walk under it conven-
iently. To these strings or wires attach
white and various colored rags or
streamers This proves an effective
safeguard against both hawks and
crows. Guinea fowls are credited with
frightening hawks However, we do
not believe that they really do scare
hawks away. They are excellent watch
ers and will set up an awful racket
when hawks, strangers or providers are
about and are valuable for this reason.

Freesia For Christmas bloom.

If you would have freesias next win
ter and spring you must get to work
now Bulbs should be bought at once
and planted down during August. The
freesia. is one of the most satisfactory
of all the winter flowers, easy Of
growth in low temperature and free
of fragrant flowers in its due season.
And the best of it is that any one can
grow the freesia. Even in a window
garden the bulbs will flourish and flow
er six weeks after growth starts. Use
a free, open, compact soil, such as any
good potting soil, with an addition Of
sand and leaf mold. Ten large bulbs
can be put into a five inch pot. Water
is given freely at potting, but no more
until the soil has become quite dry.

selecting Egas For Matching.

The selection of the eggs for sitting
is an important matter, says a writer
in the Western Poultry Journal. They
should be as fresh as possible, certain
" not more than two weeks old, and
should they have been carried any dis
lance or be sent by express they must
be carefully laid out on their sides to
rest for twenty four hours. Only clean
eggs of ordinary shape and size with
smooth surface and fairly thick shell
should be used for Matching. Very
small or very large or misshaped eggs
must always be discarded. When eggs
for setting have to be purchased OBJ
tain them from vender of repute and
pay reasonable price, as it is alto
gether false economy to hatch very
cheap eggs advertised, the value Of
the chickens resulting from the former
amply compromising for the small in
creased cost.

DECORATIVE pAH1IA.

only moderately, say once week, but
let that be moderate soaking. Keep
the ground stirred with hoe once a
week and the quantity of water needed
will be greatly lessened.
The decorative type of dahlias has
fat broad rays and is intermediate be-
tween the show and the cactus
types and is a favorite for cut flowers.
The show dahlia is the familiar double
Powered type. 1t is the formal quilted,
usually self eolored flower of the earlier
florists. The cactus dahlia, the latest
type, has flowers with broad, fat forets
which are sometimes twisted, giving
them a Characteristic and striking APP
pearance Pompon or bouquet dahlias
have smaller double flowers. There are
handsome single dahlias of brilliant
coloring and many variegations. The
dwarf or bedding dahlias, mainly single
and growing only foot or two high,
are free boomers and desirable for the
purpose indicated by their name.

Haxe the chiclxs wen norn.

a new theory deserving of considera-
tion is that recently set forth as to the
value of having the young chicks well
born, says the Feather. This refers to
having the production from the incu-
bator as vigorous as those Matched by
the hen. This is done by closely guard
ing the regulation as wen as the degree
Of heat in the machine. When chicks
are not properly Matched little success
can be hoped for in rearing them. Too
much heat or too little heat are both
more than likely to prove Injurious to
the welfare Of the young chick.

HIGH PRICED POULTRY.
DOME Fabulous sums Paid For Thor
oughIy High Class Fowls.

DOME Fabulous sums Paid For Thor
oughly High Class Fowls.
Within the last few years some won
derful prices have been reported as
having been paid for fowls, says the
Feather. First came the Rose Comb
Minorcas, sold by Mr.. Northup; follow
ing these the pen of White Plymouth
Rocks by Mr.. Fishel for $500. Mr..
owen paid at New York 800 for fif-
leen White Plymouth Rocks. Mr..
Mitchell sold the past winter display
pen of Partridge Coehins for $1,000.
Now comes the sale by Mr.. Fishel Of
one White Plymouth Rock for $500.
What has become of the honors gain
ed by the Jersey COW at Madison
Square Garden sales in comparison to
this? Gamecocks have sold In Eng
land for from $500 to $780, other high
class poultry for almost as much, but
the enormous prices that have been
paid for the finest specimens of poul-
try In this country furnish an object
lesson that might well be considered.
One would laugh at paying $500 for
White Plymouth Rock. Imagine this
bird mated with seven to nine well Sc
lected hens that might lay twenty five
eggs each, $50 eggs from this lordly
specimen to be Matched and reared,
perhaps to produce a hundred chicks
that would sell for $40 each, which
would return handsome profit, with
great reputation to the owner. 1t is
not what you pay for thing, but what
it is really worth as a money maker In
your focks, that must be considered.
It is said that the bird which sold for
$500 scored 961a points by two of our
most noted judges. No matter what
the score was, the specimen must have
been of extraordinary quality to have
attracted the attention of the pur-
chaser to the extent of making him
willing to give up that amount of mon
ey for its possession.

simple cnre For Feather EatIns.

Feather eating is usually brought
about by the fowls not having suffi-
Gent exercise. The birds should be
given free run. or they should at least
be made to scratch for a large part of
their food. This exercise improves
their digestion and gives them some
thing to occupy their time. In some
cases the habit is due to insufficient an
imal matter in the ration or to feeding
too long on a single kind Of grain, par
ticularIy corn. One Of the first meas
ures adopted should be well balanced
ration containing skim milk, meat,
bone, vegetables or green feed and fire.
quently varied Mix powdered aloes
with lard or vaseline and apply on the
feathers. The disagreeable taste of the
aloes will soon stop the habit.

right look up the reason and apply the

penalty for acknowledgement. Before
you begin to complain it would be bet

Fowls are naturally Of a hardy ma

only from the strongest and most Wig

For slugs or snatls.

Salt is sure remedy for the slugs
or snails. Discretion, however, is al
ways necessary in its use, as it is
liable to kill or injure plants to which
it is applied at all freely. We find or
binary air slaked lime just as sure to
kill slugs as salt, and probably much
safer. Slugs are night feeders, leav-
