Especial telegram to the Dispatch.J
CHARLESTON, W. VA, January 26.-Tbe
Legislature held formal. ballot to-day. Ibe
votes were scittered by the Democrats to
prevent choice. There vas great deal of
tilibustering. The vote was no indication of
the strength of the candidates. The caucus
adjourned without a choice. On the seven
teenth ballot tonight Walkers highest vote
was twenty-siX; Camden's, 81. Brannon
seems to be the strongest compromise man.
The baloting may last two weeks without
final result. All the prominent politicians
of the Senate are here.
A bill to remove the capital to Wheeling
has been introduced, which complcates mat
ters. The air s rife with runors, and no
one can guess the result. No candidate is
willing to withdraw, and resolution to drop
the lowest candidate failed literally.
[ Unless Walker or Camden come to some
compromise the deadlock will last fort.
night. Some new departures will have to
be taken to create senator In the next two
weeks. Excitement is high.

icolored) against the administrator of w. b.
Randolph was tried. johnson asserted that
about 1866, Mr.. Randolph agreed with him
that in consideration OF services rendered
since he had been free man, and 10 continue
until Mr.. Randolph's death, the latter would
leave him by will $4,000. and he claimed
that if this contract was not substantated he
should be allowed reasonable amount for
his services to Mr.. Randolph. The jury
found that there was no such contract or
agreement as alleged, and that johnson
had been paid for all the services really ren-
dered by him, and they accordingly brought

THE FIRE YEsTRRDAY.-An alarm from
Box l3. ut theSDiSpotch corner, ut 1:05 yes
terday morning was the signal for the entire
Fire Department to turn out, and no little
excitement was created when it was an
nounccd that Arthur Rooney's furniture
warerooms were on fire. This store IS
situated on Franklin street between
Twelfth and Thirteenth. and is adJacent
to three excellent fire-plugs. The tremen
belonging to Company A (Broad-Street en-
gine) were out with the steamer exercising
the horses, and when the alarm was sounded
had just come down from Church Hill, and
were on Nineteenth street. The tiremen,
not being rble to hear the alarm distinctly,
were, on account Of the rattle of vehicits on
the street, forced 10 60 the Elghteentll.Street
eugine-house TO "get the box" They then
hurried 10 the fire, and reached the plug at
the DISPATCH corner in five minutes from the
time the alarm was sounded, the truck pre-
ceding the steamer few seconds. Mean
while, however, the hose company at the
new tre-station on Tenth street turned out,
reaching the Bank.S'reet plug in three min
utes from the time the alarm was turned an,
and in two minutes more had stream play
ing upon the fire. The Eighteenth-Street
engine and hoSe-carriage stationed them
selves lower down, and came to halt in six
minutes time. The Third-Street engine
came down Main street, and reached the
Dispatch plug in about the same time; While
the Brook-AYenue steamer and the Church
Hi!l bose company came up with great
promptness. The time was not ascertained.
The fire originated in the basement OF the
warehouse from the stove.pipe, and, owing
to the very large stock Of furniture which
Mr.. Rooney had stored in the building, the
energetic tiremcn had some difficulty in get
ting at the flames. They, however, were
speedily extinguished, and thus probable
serious loss was reduced 10 about $50, which
is covered by insurance, divided between the
Abemarle Insurance Company and the
Lynchburg Insurance and Banking Com
pany, T. NJ. Afriend & Son agents.
This slight fire has demonstrated the i'm
portance and usefulness Of the hose company
Just organized by order of the Council, and
the urgent necessity of having large alarm
bell centrally located, which can be distinctly
heard in all parts Of the city.

The actors were more perfect in their parts.

Dir. Edwin Adams, inspired by the large
audience and the warmth of his reception,
played with unusual effect. Mr.. Browne as

rendered those characters to the best adyan-
