Another Fire,

Another FIRE.
at noon yesterday, another alarm
of FIRE was sounded by the ringing
of bells, and people jumped from
their dinner tables and rushed in
the direction of the fire. 1t was
found to be the residence of the
Misses Kimberling, who live near
lily opposite Trinity Church. The
fire was discovered in an upstairs
room, in the north end of the
house, and was under pretty fair
headway when the fire department
arrived. Two lines of hose we're
stretched and the water poured in
to the room in full force, and in a
few minutes the flames were subdu-
ed, but not until after the room and
roof we're pretty we'll damaged
Much of the household goods were
lremoved, but goodly portiono of
it was damaged by water.
The loss to the Misses KimbeT-
ling by fire and water to building
and household goods will amount
to several hundred dollars, with no
INSURANCE.
| SECOND ALARM.
About half an hour after the first
fire, another fire broke out in the
attic of the kitchen, and it was al
80 under good headway when the
FIRE boys got to it, and soon smoth-
cred the flames. AT this last fire
was also done considerable damage
to the building and furniture, the
most of the household goods hav-
ing been moved back to the build
ing after the first fire.
It is now rumored, in railroad
circles, that the proposed change
of division to Hobson, is to be
abandoned, and that it will remain
here in Point Pleasant. The bridge
is now being tested as to it's fullest
carrying capacity, and If it will per-
nit the heavier engines to pull big
trains ACROSS it, there will be no
change in the division, at least that
is the talk

There is largo crop of walnuts
this year, and the small boys hands
have assumed that dark brown hue
which makes it impossible to know
whether they are clean or dirty.
If the Democrats in Congress
had any say about the big and ac-

1 dearly love these autumn days,
With Joy my heart throbs high.
The frost is on the pumpkin, and
The pumpkins in the pie.
The follow who is always telling
his troubles isn't half as deserving
of sympathy as the fellow who has
to listen.
The ohap who's free with his advice
Is not 80 free with his pelf.
His worldly store he keeps on ice.
And keeps it to himself.
When girl dreams of an elope-
ment she allows her imagination
to run away with her
The bartender is about the only
man who isn't affected when he
mixes his drinks.
