DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
Visits Winfield and De-
stroys Business Portion
of Town.
BIGGEST FIRE IN HISTORY.
Whole Block, Containing 81,
Houses, Destroyed.
BIGGEST FIRE IN HISTORY.

As will be seen by an article in
another column, headed "a Mar
row Escape" the business part
of Winfield was doomed to fire.
An attempt was made Saturday
night to fire the buildings along
Main Street in front of the Pub
lie Square, but by mere chance
the fire was discovered and avert
ed. But Tuesday night another
attempt was made which proved
successful. as the vacant lots and
chared remains thereon demon
strate. Although no one knows
that the fire was premeditated,
yet the attempt of Saturday
night and the subsequent disaster
of Tuesday night leads to the
supposition that the buildings
were fired. After the affair of
Saturday night Mr.. Davis. whose
building came so near burning,
said that he believed that his
house had been fired, that he
could see no way in which fire
could have originated accident
ally. And since a disasterous
fire has actually occurred so close
upon the attempt of Saturday
night one is lead to believe that
the disaster was premeditated by
some one, of course unknown.
Fire was discovered between 8
and 10 o'clock and the general
alarm given. The whole town
tuaned out to assist in the strug-
gle to save the town from dis
truction. The fire had such holt
in the furniture store of Men.
Davis when discovered that il
was next to impossible to save
anything. Attention was then
given to the store house of Mrs.
S. A. Wright which was beside
the furniture store with a thirty
foot space intervening. There
was no chance to save the bnild-
ing and all hands went to work
carrying out the contents of the
store. Next came the store OF
C. Nj. Durham, next the BeviIl
store house occupied by N. l..
Hudson, next the drug store oc-
cupied by a drug company, the
r. A. Emerson Drug Co. we have
been told. the building being
owned by DR.. j. j. Peters. The
next and last building was the
old Kelly drug store and which
occupied, the lower story by the
telephone exchange and the up
per story by the Masonic, knights
Of Pythias aud Woodmen of the
World organizations.
After fire had reached the
store house of Mrs. Wright il
was evident that nothing conld
be done to check it until it burn
led itself out. So attention was
directed to emptying the build
| |ings. The Public Square wa'
used as a dumping ground ant
several tn ousand dollars worth
of merchandise was filed there
lon. G. M. Durham saw ed $120'
|or $500 worth, Mrs. Wright
saved about $1,000 worth, n. l.
Hudson saved practically every
thing as did the Drug Company
Mr.. White saved the telephone
switchboard and other fixtures
in the Office. All the secret or
der paraphernalia was saved iron

STOP CAMP-MEET|NGS 2
United States Court May be Asked
to Eujoin Them.
NEW MOVE OF COAL OPERATORS
II is Charged That Striking Miners Talk to
Those at Work and induce Them
IN cave the Mines
to Leave the Mines

Montgomery, w. Va, Aug. THE
newest thing in the way Of injunc-
tions will be one--if ii shall be issued
to prevent the holding of religious
meetings in the vicinity of the mines
1t is said the mine operators will APP
ply to the United States Court for one
in a few days.
1t seems that camp-meetings are now
being held in the neighborhood of a
number of mines that are being ope-
rated in the Kanawha and New River
fields. Many Of the miners who are
working attend the meetings and a
number of them have already quit
work.
1t is charged that the capm-meeting
is but another scheme resorted to by
the strikers TO induce those who are
at work to quit. When the religious
services are over the strikers and in
many cases the ministers, 1T is alleg-
ed. approach those who are not strik-
ing and use their persuasive powers
to get them to come out. These meth
DDS have met with considerable sue
cess, and it is now reported on relia-
BILE authority that the operators will
ask the court TO prohibit the holding
of religious meetings anywhere in the
neighborhood of the working mines
Clarksburg, W. Va. Aug. Judge
Golf in lentghy opinion decided the
habeas corpus case against the miners
and agitators and remanded them to
the custody of the Marshal and Sher-
if, and they will be removed TO Park
ersburg to serve the balance of their
sentences.
The Judge said the only question
was as to the jurisdiction, and that
the Guarantee Trust Company of New
York was entitled to a standing in
court, and it was not absolutely nee
essary for the fuel company to be a
party to the suit The decision is a
disappointment to the miners, and
and their counsel say that no other ac-
ton can be taken at present at least.
