WEST vIRGINIA's NEW GOVERNOR
The Old One Has Held Over for Year
and Q Half

Judge A. Brooke Fleming win be inaugurated
governor Of West Virginia tomorrow. His title
to the Office rests on resolution adopted by a
vote OF 4S to 40 for Gen. Goff in the legislature
The majority report in his favor was not
adopted, nor were the merits Of the election in
November. 1888, gone into in the final action.
Gov. Wilson has held over beyond the term for
which he was elected year and half.
The new governor. A. Brooke Fleming, was
born in Marion county, Va (now West vir-
ginia), October IS, 1889. Until the age Of
twenty years he worked on his fathers farm,
attending school winters He entered the law
department. Of the University Of Virginia in
1859. and upon being admitted to the bar he
began practice at Chenille, Gilmer county,
va. returning to his native town in 1862, where
be has since resided. In 1871 and 1875 he was
in the legislature. In 1878. when Judge Lewis
died, he was appointed to all the term, and
later he was elected to the position. In Octo-
Der. 1880, he was elected judge of the second
Judicial circuit. He ran as a democrat, and his
enormous vote in a republican district attested
his popularity at the time in his own section of
the state. His term expired with the close of
1883, and in August Of that year he was made
the democratic candidate for governor Be-
sides attending to his judicial duties he has
been extensively engaged with his father-in-

HOW THE ALARM CAME IN.
The Tracy Fire and Recollections Il
Awakened In Supt. Miles, Mind.

1.-THE fire at Secretary Tracy's house had the
most sorrowful results Of any fire that has
occurred here during the past twenty years. ("
graph and fire alarm service to q STAR reporter.
During all those years." continued Mr..
Miles, 81 don't think there was fire that re-
suited in the loss of three lives. When the old
market building burned down two lives we're
sacrificed. The victims were men who were
sleeping in the building and failed to awake in
time. Since that there have been several fires
that resulted in loss Of life, but in nearly every
such instance the victim was q small child that
was left in the house alone by its parents and
was burned simply because Of its helplessness.
THE alarm for the fire Monday morning was
struck by Operator WEIGH at exactly O'Clock.
The operator had received all the preliminary
signals from the signal office for striking the
o'clock bell and was within three seconds Of
striking when the alarm came in. All he had
to do was to change the dial and strike, so that
there was not seconds delay in sounding the
alarm.
"At the time Of the market house fire, con-
tinued Mr.. Miles, Il was on duty when some
one shouted fire. I saw the light and on my
own responsibility sounded the alarm. Then
l saw the blaze and turned in general alarm"
During last month there were thirty-nine
fires, twenty-five regular alarms being sounded
and fourteen locals. Although the num-
Der OF fires was greater last month than
usual not one of them was a very large one.
During the corresponding month of last year
there were fourteen fires, twenty-five less than
recorded this year. Fourteen Of them were
regular alarms and eleven were local. The
present month has started out with bad fire
record. Thus far there has been an average of
one fire day with an additional local call.
