-Connellsyille still suffers from the
forest fires on Chestnut Hill. To-day
electric lights had to be burned in all
the Offices and houses, as the sun is
shut completely out. Last night the
flames, leaping ten feet high, came
down Scissor Park and threatened the
store building of the South Connels-
vile Merchandise & Supply Company,
at South Connelsville. A large force
of men fought the fire for several
hours. A row of houses on the out
skirts of town was threatened and the
people remained up all night keeping

DECREE OF SALE

Set Aside.


Set Aside.
Special TO the Register.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, October 26.--
The attorneys representing the various
parties to the John Brisben Walker
controversy have agreed to ask the
court to set aside the decree of sale
under which the homes of a number of
West Side citizens are now advertised
to be sold. This will be done in order
TO give the owners an opportunity to
present their claims When the case
was originally tried, there parties,
either from oversight or lack of in
terest, made no answer to the petitions
filed by the plaintiff, and judgment
went against them by default.
The attorneys for the property own
ers are hopeful of averting a sale en-
tirely on several grounds: that the pur-
chase money has already been paid and
that too long time has been permit
ted to elapse. There are also numerous
technical grounds.
Mr.. Walker has signified an intention
of doing what he can to protect the in
terests of the property owners.

AT no time in the past have vessels
