A Rural Gas Line.

Some of the rural residents to the
north of town are shortly to embrace
the luxury of natural gas at home.
The line will go out as far as E. j..
Evans and j. Joseph's farms, and
the realization of the scheme encoun-
tiers considerable expense, but GER
tainly must be worth the money.
The line that supplies residents
from the University to o. Fl. Dille's
has been doubled in size of pipe to
beyond the Sunnyside stile, when
the small pipe new line takes out the
Point Marion road, passing the new
houses on the former Hoffman prop
erty, past Vangilder's, Chestnut
Ridge school, on to the Evans place,
giving several other homes not men
toned the opportunity of having gas.
There are several dwellings on the
Evans land which will be served with
gas. This makes the longest of the
few short lines that serve to give
gas to people living ont of town.
The line has been laid within the
past week and will soon be perform
ing its contemplated mission.

FIRE AT CLARKsBURG.

About ten thousand Dollars.

The greatest fire that has devastat

one of the principal business quar-
tiers Of the city. The Gre is supposed
to have originated in Sweat's res

spread TO three adjoining buildings.
All these being frame they burned
like finder and before the hose could
be gotten ready and water turned on,
they were too far gone to be saved,
and from the building adjoining Da-

building next the st. Charles hotel

seemed in great danger, but prompt
and well directed efforts soon extin-
gnished the flames that were creep
ing around the eornices.
A light snow that covered the roofs
of the adjoining buildings probably
prevented a much greater fire. The
losses are: w. Nusbaum's book
and grocery store, loss $4,000, insur-
ed for $4,000; George L. Behring'S
grocery, loss 81 800, 81, 600 insurance
Sweat's restaurant, loss about $500,
same amount insurance; Gandy's
meat market, loss from 81 200 to
$1,000, insured for $500. The insur-
ance on the buildings amounted to
about $4,000. 1t is reported that
the buildings will be rebuilt as soon
as possible in much more substan-
tial and attractive style.
