10 THE DAILY LNTELLIGENOER
Fire in Bellaire.

Special tothO Intelllgcncer.
BELnA1RE, January %, II P. M.-At
about half.past seven this evening, while
all the churches were in session, the
building occupied by J.H, Grafton, agent
of the Marietta Chair Company, as fur
niturc store and by the Bee Hive tailor
shop Of MellOtt & Mento, was observed to
be on fire, the alarm given.
The fire companies were promptly on
the spot, but such headway had the lire
gained that it was not under control unit!
the building was almost totally con-
sumed. At one time it was feared that
the two frame houses on the north would
go, but the efforts of the liremen were SO
far successful as to prevent this.
The loss to the Chair Company, it is
thought, will reach $1,000 or $4,000, al.
most, ii not entirely covered by insurance.
The loss TO the other building is not
known, but the insurance is S2,5OO. The
building was a two-Story frame erected
winter before last. The fire originated

The PROPOSED APPoRTIoSMEST.-
When Senator Bennett takes n pinch OF
snuff the editer OF tho Weston Democrat
always feels in duty bound, like loyal
henchmau, to sneeze. He would have
made good Polonius. He seems to b'
incapable OF seeing that the proposed
apportionmcnt would do real injustice
to this county and talks about our selfish
ness at setting up such claim. With
him what is sauce for the goose is no!
sauce for the gandcr. 1t is all right to
give Lewis county, and other counties,
the benefit Of new apportionment, but
not right to give Ohio county the same
benefit. He would therefore arbitrarily
and unjustifRbly exclude her. And
because we do not propose to
acquiescc in the exclusion he
speaks OF our unsubmissive disposition as
being Selfish" His lazy and cold
bloodcd way Of looking at the question
reminds us Of the man in the fable who
damned the eel that would not lie still and
be skinned. Why does he not adduce
some reason for his proposed exclusion
OF this county? Is he too listless TO ex.
anime the question? lie attempted to
give reason in his introduction to the
Senate Committees report that was
thoroughly fullacious, and we exposed its
glaring Inconsistency, He does not repeat
that argument nor udduce any other, but
falls back on an aSPersion OF our motives,
the last refuge Of him who is corncrcd in
discussion.
The Grafton Sentinel sees and &c.
knOwledgcs the fallacy that We exposed
in the Democrats article, and says that
while it ia true that Taylor and Lewis
should have two delegates, it is also un.
doubtedly true that Ohio county should
upon the same grounds be entitled to in
creased representation"
The Sentinel also very senSibly suggests
that the present apportiOnmcnt be let
stand until the next U. s. census, as was
intended by the trainers OF the present
Constitution OF West Va.

this topic Is not confined to Wheeling. We
see illusions to 1t in our exchanges at
Steubenvillc, 81. Louis, Chicago and

tains this paragraph; ~

hard times, he has reduced the price oil

sI.o that he will further reduce it 10
40 80 per thousand, provided those who
have discontinued the use Of gas, and
others will introduce it.
We inter IRON the above that number
Of people at Grafton discontinued the use
of gas on account OF its high price, and
that their discontinuance has had a
sulutary effect upon Mr.. Miller, who, it
seems, runs the gas machine in that
town.
Not long ago large number of people
in Brooklyn, N. Y, discontinued the use
Of gas on account Of its high price, and
adopted carbon oil lamps. They regard
ed 81 % per 81 900 cubic feet as too much
for gas. A Baltimore firm has offered TO
light the Brooklyn street lamps, with gas
oline, at S2l per lamp per year, instead
OF the $40 charged by the gas company.
The St. Louis Dispatch says that it is
we'll for the public to understand that
gas is no. the only light that can be used
with absolute safety. Petroleum is
scarcely fifteen years old, and as an arti-
Gle of trade in the commerce OF this coun-
try, ranks third, while gas is one hun.

New York, June 5.-The Tribune

gan expressly to leave Blaine in a bad
position before the Cincinnati conven-
ton. Blaine's friends will be very
much disappointed If he allows his
enemies to overthrow him in this.
While nothing authentic can be
learned from him in regard to his inten-
tons, it would not be strange if he were
to ask the House tomorrow or next day
at the farthest to hear him in personal
explanation he would probably put
the case before the House and country
In the strongest light. AS the case
now stands, Blaine's nomination is
doubtful If not impossible, but still
two delegates to the Cincinnati con-
vention, who were not supporters of
Blaine, returned TO their homes yester-
day after brief visit to Washington.
Before leaving they told a friend they
should vote for Blaine on the first
ballot they had watched the investi-
CATION with great interest and were
very indignant at the unfairness with
which 1t has been conducted.

Coipin MAJOR of C1icooo.

Chicago, June SIN the Circuit
court this morning, five judges sitting
in banc, gave diverse opinions in the
mayoralty case of Colvin vs.. Hoyne.
The majority,-Judges McAllister,
Williams and Rogers, decide that since
the city counsel neglected to call an
election for mayor ut the time when
Mr.. Co)vin's term expired, and since
such a call Is necessary to secure u
valid election, the votes recently east
for Mr.. Hoyne are nugatory, and that
Mr.. Colvin holds his office until an
election Is duly called by the council.
Judges Farwell and Booth read dis
scnting opinions in effect that the
failure Of the council to perform its
duty does not invalidate the votes cast
because the law Is mandatory and an
election may legally be held notwith-
standing such dereliction on the part
Of the council. G
In the city council, tonight, Mayor
