THE DEATH RECORD.
MATTE AMELIA THRASHER.


Last Sunday morning, Dec. 8, death
entered our town and took away a
bright young girl, Matte Amelia
Thrasher, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Thrasher, aged seventeen years,
six months and twenty-four days. Two
years ago she was afflicted with
tuberculosis Of the bone. 1t was found
necessary to amputate her limb, but
the disease had such firm hold on her
system it could net be arrested. Matte
bore her suffering patiently and never
complained of her afiliction. WheI ehe
realized that the end was coming she
expressed a wish to lie at rest. For
almost her last words were: There is
no suffering in Heaven, and l will soon
be there" The funeral services we've
conducted by Rey. J. L. Thomas, as

FAIRMoNT, W. Va, Dec. 1S.-One
small piece of iron, weighing less than
pound, the fatal coupling pin that at
tached the cars running out of the death
hole known as mine No. 6 was revealed
to the sight of few tonight at Monon-
gah. 1t is a relic of death. 1t will eX-
ercise its part as an exhibit when the
coroner's inquest is held. It will be ex-
hibit A, and upon it depends whether or
not the Fairmont Coal Company viii
have to pay damages to the hundreds Of
victims of the mine disaster.
That the Investigations Immediately
after the frightful calamity were cor
rect as 20 the causes leading to it are
being varitied on every side by nine eX-
perts. Personal inspection was made
at the entry of mine No. 6 and it was
found that there had been wreck of
load of cars that had been started with
heavy loads from the far recesses Of the
subterranean passages.
Every mine expert that has entered
the death holes agrees that dust was the
cause of the double e.; losion that snuff
ed out the lives Of hundreds Of mine
and boys. Now that both mines have
been penetrated for distance Of sever
al thousand feet and no pockets Of gas
sufficient to cause an explosion Of any
great extent being encountered ,he
dust theory is regarded as the Only
plausible one.
The specter coupling pin tina. broke
and allowed the dozen two-ton cars ron
back into the bowels of the earth, break
up all of the great electric system OF
the company and. then the insiduous
deadly dust and wiped out the lives Of
hundreds Of miners is on exhibition

causes that lead to the explosion at this

F. M. Payne, head of the State School
of Mining, and State Geologist, Profess

and are making oughinyestigaiion

several days.
Chief State Mine inspector J. w.
Paul, who has been on the ground since
the evening of the disaster and who has
carefully followed every move Of the
worlimen in and about the mines stated
today that he believed that the explo-

loose and ran back into the mine. The
wreck naturally caused furry of coal
dust and this, together with the fire
generated when the heavily charged
feed wires which carry all the current
used for working both motors and cut

explosion which swept through both
mines.

THE ONLY CURE

AZ Ind suffered nearly all my life
with eczema of the face and neck. 1t

itching would become unbcprable and
kept me awake good part of each

different times attending ne. but mono
of them could effect "A permanent cure.
One of them gave me arsenic and |
tried that for three months. but it did
little good, if any. read n Cuticura
advertisement in the paper about one
year ago and decided to try the treat
ment. l used only two cakes Of Cuti-
cura Soap. one box Of Cuticura ONT
ment, and one bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent. II gave me great relief, hut
after had stopped using it for n month
the eczema came back. As the Cuti-
cura treatment was the only thing that
gave me any relief started it again and
persisted with IL until | was entirely
cured, which took from five to six
months. and l have not been troubled
since. still use the soap as it has such
good healing qualities and does not
irritate the skin as tho general run Of
