a few minutes before. The poor man

him, but in vain. He went back into

Ca,am!tous Fire in Upsnur Count,
Six Persons Burned to Death In one
Mouse.
From .As gvckhannon Netrs # ths IN.

From ;he BUckhannon -NstrS # Lhs IN.
One OF the most terrible and heart
rending accidents which has ever hap
pened in our county occurred on the
night OF July 81. The house of Mr..
John Quick was destroyed by fire, and
most sad 10 relate, his wife and three
children, and two children of near
neighbor, Mr.. himball, six in all, per-
lshed in the flames.
How the fire originated is not known,
as none of the neighbors discovered it
until the next morning, and OF those IN
the house, not one was left to tell the
sad tale; Mr.. Quick himself was alb
sent from home, as he is engaged In
carrying the mail to Beverly.
On me morning of July 3rd, some OF
the neiRhbors seeing the house no
longer occupied its site, crossed the
river to see what had happened, and to
their horror, discovered the roasting re-
mains of the victims in the ruins.
They were all clustered together as II
| the children had flew to the mother for
| help and thus had persisted together.
1t is certainly great mystery that
none escaped, and there is various
theories in regard to 1t; one is that the
house was struck by lightning, and all
either killed or stunned SO as to be un-
able to escape by the same bolt that
fred the house; another, that they had
been murdered, and the house fired in
order to conceal the crime; but either
surmise is, we believe, unteuable, and
the true facts in the case will perhaps
never be known until the last great
day.

by +. J. Burr, Esq, who lives near the
Ga the night of the I'd inst, in Wash

Truby's run, on the east bank Of the

house known as the Berlin property
was destroyed by fire, and six persons
burned to death-Mrs. Quick and her
three children, and two girls OF Mr.
Kimball; the Oldest about. thirteen
years and the other ten. Mr.. John

gone TO Huttonsville, carrying the mail
