FIRES IN CARROLL.
One in TaneytOwn, Une at KeySville and
One Near LinwOOd.

A fire occurred in Taneytown. between
10. 80 and u Wednesday morning, by which
four small colored children barely escaped
with their lives. large frame building,
owned by John E. Davidson and used partly
as a storage warehouse and as a dwelling, was
burned to the ground with all its contents.
The contents of the warehouse consisted of
tobacco, barrels of oil. a buggy and other ar
tcles and were owned by Mr. Davidson The
dwelling portion was occupied by Benjamin
Coates, colored, his wife and four children.
The fire originated in the warehouse, and
when the doors we're broken open by the
Taneytown FIRE department the buggy was in
blaze. The building would probably have
been saved but for the explosion of the barrels
of coal oil. 1t was only through the heroic
efforts of the iiremen that adjoining buildings
were saved
Coates and his wife were away from home,
| Their children were in the second story and
were unable to get out. as the stairway was in
flames. The two small children were thrown
out of the secoud-story window by the larger
children and we're caught by the fremen be-
low. The older children, boys. jumped from
the window. The furniture and clothing OF
Coates and family were consumed, on which
there was no insurance.
The building and contents were insured by
Mr.. Davidson for 500 in the Leitersburg
Company, aud for s., 100 in companies repre-
sented by James L. Smith. of Westminster.
The origin of the Are is unknown.

WEST VIRGINIA sENAToRsHIP
A Majority of Members of the Legis'
lature Protest Against Seating
Mr.. Scott.
From tho Charleston nv Va Gazette

FROM the CndfieStoE wv H. 'dEct'S-
A protest, addressed so the United States
Senate, against the seating of n. b. Scott,
Republican as a member of that body from
West Virginia, has been signed by forty eight
Democratic members and one Republican
member ofthe Legislature.
This is a clear majority of all the members
of both branches of the Legislature, and is one
more than the number of votes cast for Scott
in joint convention. Scott received forty eight
votes. two of which Getzendanner S and Pier
sons were clearly illegal, Mr. McGraw for
ty-six votes and Judge Golf one; and two dem
ocratic members were deprived of their votes
in order to make forty-eight majority of the
joint assembly.
After the election Of the Senator, the two
democrats were given their seats. These two
add their protest to the protest of the torty-six
members who voted for McGraw, and the one
republican who stood out against Scott also
adds the strength of his name and influence.
Thus clear majority of the members OF
both branches of the Legislature join in an
earnest protest against the seating of Scott,
even though both Getzendnnner aud Pierson
be admitted to be legal members OF the Leg
iSlature. But this is denied, as the Gazette 5
readers are fully informed.
With this protest before the members OF the
United States Senate, it is not credible that
Scott will be given the seat to which he aspireS.
