Fairmount, W. Va., May 17 — Six
miners lost their lives, five were fa-

burned in an explosion at the shaft
of the George’s Creek Coal & Iron
Company, at

Farmington,
seven
miles west of this city, on the main
line of the Baltimore A Ohio Railroad
this morning.
The George’s Creek company, a
Baltimore corporation, had invested
fully $1,000,000 in the mine, which
is one of the liest equipped in the
Fairmount district.
The mine was
only recently put into operation, and
about 125 men were employed, only
40 of this number underground. Of
these, 15 were in a portion of the
mine that has been worked for some
time, and the remainder were work
ing on headings, quite a distance
away. One of the men in the rooms
had smuggled a torch into the mine,
as torches give a better light than the
safety lamp prescribed by the com
pany.
At 9:15 o'clock the miner
tired 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 extent.
The explosion
vented itself through the air shaft
and almost demolished the building
on the surface iu which the fan was
located.
The men on the headings
did not know there had been an ex
plosion until notified.
The air was
soon turned in and in a short time
the headings were cleared of foul
gases and the work of rescuing the
unfortunates commenced.

Trees Instead of Fee-ls.
The Department of Agriculture next
year will vary the garden seed distri
bution with several packages of trees.
Authority for this new departure was
secured at n recent session of Congress
and an appropriation was made in the
budget for the comlug year. The people
of this country have been cutting down
the natural forests with so much reck
lessness that it has become necessary
to start artificial ones. The division of
forestry of the Agricultural Depart
ment lias made a survey of the coun
try and has ascertained the particular
trees which thrive best and are most
useful In each locality. According to
the program for the distribution of
trees, next year a given number of
seedlings will be slotted to each mem
ber of the House of Representatives,
who will be asked to furnish a list of
constituents to whom lie would like to
have them sent. The Agricultural De
partment will do (lie rest. The seed
lings will be grown In the propagating
houses anil forwarded to their destina
tion, with specific Instructions ns to
how they should be planted and cared
for. In tills way Secretary Wilson ex
pects to start several million new trees
growing throughout this country every
year.

One gardener makes the novel sugges

the plants all of one sex. His plan Ims

follows: Drive a stout stick three

staple a rope four Inches from earth's

till it reaches three Inches from the top
of the stake; Btaple It tightly. Pour
coal oil or crude petroleum on It until
It Is well saturated with It. and the
hogs or shoats will fight for the first

all lice and nits ami remove scales that
are so unsightly upon the hogs. It has
been tried and works well.—Twentieth
