HUNrlNoroN, W. VA, Feb. ll,-This
morning about 8 o'clock fire broke out
in the coffee room Of the wholesale gro
Gerry OF Harvey, Hagen & Co., of Third
avenue, and became one OF the most de.
s,ructiye fires that Huntington ever had.
The fire started in the rear OF the com.
pany's building, where they had their
apparatus for roasting coffee. Twenty
Or thirty barrels Of oil were in close
proximity to where the fire started and
when these were reached the fire wus
scattered by'thcir explosion to all parts
OF the building and mt once became uu-
manageable. The hre company respond
ed promptly, but the supply Of water
was very poor and very little could be
done. After the explosion of the oil
barrels nothing further was done to,
wards saving the building in which the
fire originated, but all efforts were turn
ed towards saving other property.
The building was the largest in the
city, four.story brick, that was COM
pleted last summer. One.half of the
building was owned and occupied by
Harvey, Hagen & Co.'s wholesale pro-
Gerry the other half was owned by Clayt
Harvey, ami was occupied by a large
dry goods store and by tenants on the
second and third floors. The wholesale
grocery stock is said to have been worth
about SIC, 900. 1t was total loss. The
dry goods stock was said to be worth
$4,000. 1t also was total loss. Harvey,
uagen & Co. had 5000 INSURANCE. on
both stock and building. Clayt Harvey
had SIS 900 insurance on both stock and
building. The total loss was $50, 900.
The fire spread to the Kirk property,
the first building to the east, ana a two.
story frame building on the west, but
before it had made much headway in
either OF the buildings the walls Of the
brick fell with tremendous crash, both
falling outward, crushing the two frame
buildings on either side and thus
smothe1ing the fire SO that it could be
controlled.
Had 1t not been for this the whole
block would have been destroyed.
In the Kirk propertyJ. NJ. Fearguson
had a tailoring establishment. Very
little OF his stock could be removed, bu,
both the stock and the property were
well covered with insurance. In the
first building to the west was the plumb
ing establishment OF Boardman 4 Haw.
kins, Hawkins had gone into his office
to get his books and was just coming oul
when the walls OF the brick fell. HI
was caught beneath the falling timber
and ior over an hour brave men worked
to extricate him and fought to keep tht
fire, which was every moment drawin,
nearer, from reaching him. He was a
last released, seriously but not fatal,
hurt. The destroyed buildings will b
rebuilt the coming summer. The olt
buildings will be replaced by bette
ones, so that after all the fire may prov,
a benefit to the city. ztssfa.

lieve the Senate will refuse him seat.
1t is well known fact that in several
