FIRE At DARKEsvILLE.

A Residence Burned to tho Ground Family Barely
Escape with Their Lives.
Yesterday morning at 1880 o'clock
the cry Of fire aroused the residents Of
the quiet little village Of Darkesyille,
this county, from their slumbers. In
d few minutes the whole population
were astir and rushing to the scene Of
the fire to render their assistance in
quelling the flames. The house q
Gently purchased from Mr.. Glen Lyle
by Miss Jane Pine, aud occupied as a
residence by Mr.. John w. Weller was
found to be & mass Of seething flames.
1t was soon apparent that nothing
could be done to save the house, and
attention was directed at once to the
store Of Mr.. IA. d. Tate, adjoining the
burning building, which was only
saved after a very hard battle. In
fact Mr.. Tate's warehouse had to be
torn down to save the main building.
Mr.. Weller and his family, consisting
Of a wife and six children, barely es-
capped with their lives. Nothing a
saved excepting a few articles Of fur
niture. Tho building is a total loss.
No insurance. The origin Of the fire
is unknown.

The forthcoming annual report Of

emit Of schools, will show a rapid growth
in all departments Of School work in
the State for the past year. West

States which make an enumeration Of
school youth each year, This annual
enumeration enables the State Super
lntendent to report accurately the
number of school youth at the end Of
each school year and to ascertain the
rate Of increase from yearto year. BY
this means the growth of the school
population Of the State from year to
year can be closely appropriated.
The total enumeration Of school
youth for 1892 is 276,452, an increase
over the year 1891, Of 5,l18. Total

The following special from Parkcrs-
barg expresses the opinion Of the peor
pie Il that section Of the State on the
senatorial situations
The announcement that ex-senator
Camden viii be a candidate before the
incoming Legislature for tho Unitod
States senate. created some confusion
and no little talk here. 1t Is general
NJ conceded, regardless Of political
abilities, that Mr.. Camden's promi
hence iH business affairs, his progress
sive ideas aud the stupenduons work
done by him in developing the State
and its industries, demands tho great
est respect from the people Of the State
at large, and his election 10 the Sem
ate, OF any public position desired by
Mr.. Camden, would be but a small re-
turn for the public benoats derived
from his energy, foresight. labor and
money. II is undoubtedly true that
Senator Camden is to-day a much
stronger man politically than he has
ever been before. To an impartial
locker on in Vienna it isapparent that
were Mr.. Camden TO come before the
people themselves for any ofaee within
their power, he would get i with such
a majority as never before given a
citizen Of this State. This may be
taken as the candid opinion Of the
people themselves.
Among the politicians, 50 far as one
writer has been able to ascertain, the
same opinion obtains. No politician,
of either party, but viii frankly and
honestly admit that Mr.. Camden has
done more toward advancing the inter
est Of the State, and therefore those Of
the whole people, than any reasonable
number Of men in the State. They
will admit that Mr.. Camden's energy,
keen perception, his business ENTERPRISE
and qualification have sent West vir-
ginia toward years in the rank Of the
most progressive States Of the Union.
The above is, in a few condensed
sentences the utterance of thinking
men Of all parties. Whetheritw will con-
duce toward his election asSenator is
to be seen, but that it should do SO IS
most unquestionably the opinion of the
people Of this section.
