DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WESTON

On Saturday night last, April 18th,
about ten o'clock, the alarm of fire was
yiven, and it was discovered that the
valuable Touring and saw-mill, owned
by Mr.. William III. Asphalt, was in
flames. In much less time than we can
write an account OF it, the whole struc-
ture was one mass Of fire; and it was
at once apparent that no human power
could save it. The immense blaze
reached over to the house occupied by
Mr.. Asphalt, and despite the efforts Of
those present, it was consumed before
much of the furniture could be removed.
The hotel known as the "Moxley
House and the store and dwelling
house of Mr.. Minnich then attracted
all attention. The overpowering heat
and the flying shingles repeatedly placed
these houses in imminent danger; and
but for Providential turn of the wind,
the whole town would soon. have been
in ashes. Our citizens nobly came to
the rescue, and never id men work
more faithfully or fearlessly. So fast
was water passed along, that it became
necessary to wade out into the middle
Of the river to fill bucket.
On inquiry OF the parties, We learn
that the loss sustained is about as fol-
lows: William H. Aspinall, $ll, 600;
E. G. Minnich, $500; William Mox-
ley, $40.
Mr.. Wellington Hollen, millwright,
who had for several weeks been en-
ployed in repairing the mill, lost all his
tools, worth about $500. He had about
completed his work when the fire &C.
Cured ....
Mr.. Asphalt was insured in the
the Wheeling Fire and Marine In
surance Company for $4,000; but upon
Monkeys and Minnich's property there
was no insurance, making the total dead
loss $4,000. In addition to this, a great
amo6nt of lumber lath, shingles, &c,
were destroyed, which had been cut up
for other parties, and were on the
grounds near the mill.
On Monday last Mr. Asphalt con-
tracted with Mr.. P. NJ. Hale for the
erection OF new brick mill, and the
work is to 60 on at once.
The burning Of this property is loss
to the whole community, and until the
new mill is in running order our citi-
zens will suffer all kinds Of annoy
ances. f'.
Let US give than ks to the Great Mas.
ter, however, that it is no worse, fer all
of us can bear witness that had it not
been for the sudden and unexpected
change in the wind, the town of Wes-
ton would to-day have been numbered
among the things tina, were.

FATAL AccrDENT.-By a letter from a

about thirteen years Of age, was swing

ELECTION TO-DAY.

This is the day designated by act OF
the Legislature for holding a special
election to ascertain the will OF the
people concerning the ratification or
rejection of the FLICK Amend
ment. Except in few localities, there
has been very little popular interest
manifested in relation to the subject
and, with the exception OF two or three
speeches in some Of the interior coun-
ties no canvass has been made either
for or against the measure. 1t has not
been made party question, hence none
of the usual party machinery has been
employed to agitate the subject or urge
voters to attend the polls. The Demo
Gratis have been lukewarm In either
supporting or opposing it. because OF
the fact that the Amendment is so
framed and its history has been such
as to present neither pure good nor I'M
mixed evil; and for much the same
reason the Radicals have failed TO give
it either hearty support or earnest OPP
position. That feature OF the amend
ment which is most desired by the De
mocracy, the Acknowledgement OF
the late rebels, is not popular
among the Radicals; while that provi-
sion which prevents the Democrats
from yielding it unanimous support, the
erasure of the word white from the
Constitutional qualifications OF voters
is almost the only thing about 1t that
the Radicals heartily commend. II the
question could bedivided; 1.-two amend
ments were to be submitted at the same
time: one retaining the word white and
striking out the DISTINGUISHING clause
Of the State Constitution, and the other
striking out the work white and retain
ing the system Of Acknowledgement; the
political parties would have been fairly
divided, spirited contest would have
ensued and full vote would be polled.
As it is, it is likely that the vote
throughout the State to-day will be very
light and will be mainly in favor OF
ratification. As general thing, those
who oppose the ratification Of the amend
ment are not sufficiently bitter or
determined in their hostility to it to put
themselves to any Inconvenience or take
any especial pains to vote, and hence
the balloting will be done principally
by the friends the measure.
Viewing the ratification OF the
amendment as step towards Constl-
tutional convention, we would be glad
to see it adopted. In itself, the amend
ment contains such an adroit mixture
Of good and evil that the one nearly
neutralizes the other, but as a means to
the attainment OF an important and de-
sirable end, it is invested with virtue
that it could not otherwise possess. The
adoption of the amendment will proba-
bly, make still more certain the calling
of Constitutional Convention, and we
therefore hope that majority OF the
ballots cast today may be in favor OF
ratification.
