the company for he feels that, even if
the city is liable, that Mr. Flannigan

about twenty feet south of the
building destroyed, As we'll as the
Ceredo House, about forty feet
north, were saved. 1t took splen-
dld work TO save these buildings.
There was scarcely Il breath of wind
stirring at the time, which alone
accounts for the adjoining buildings
being saved. II wind had been
blowing from the west, as is usually
the case, many thousands of dollars
In property would undoubtedly have
been consumed.
The building was insured in the
PhoeniX Assurance Co, of London,
for 100000, and the stock in the
Standard, of Wheeling, w. Va,
for $3.50 AMI $50 dollars on store
and office furniture and fixtures both

been pretty we'll closed out. an in
ventory having been taken few
days ago, which amounted To a little
less than $4OO, since which time
probably $50 worth of goods had
been sold.
The fire was undoubtedly the
work of an inccndiary probably
having been burglarized), as there
had been no fire about the building
for many days and no lamp as left
burning in the store.

The {. ~ .. Railrod is to take
immediate steps toward rebuilding
its present line of railroad from the
Big Sandy bridge, three miles above

Lester will begin the survey at once.
The plan Is to straighten the line,

will result from the extension of the
line from Whitehouse TO Virginia.
New and heavier rails will also
doubtless be laid on the entire
Big Sandy division.
From the Big Sandy bridge above
here to Whitehouse the work of
filling the trestles and improving
the line generally is we'll along
towards completion.
