/ Aforgantown, w. Va, July Ie.-The
Union Utility company, of which senh-
tor Stephen b. EiIsins is president and
which owns the gas, water and electric
light and street railway plants at Nor
gantown, at a meeting last night order
cd work commenced at once on the
construction of a trolley line from the
west end of the suspension bridge in
West AIorgantown through tho bottom
lands to the village Of Granville, two
miles down the AIonongahela river. and
to built trolley line from AIorgantown
to Ices Ferry on Cheat river, distance
of sixty miles. The company owns the
bottom lands between West Morgantown
and Granville and the road will pass
through these lands, which viii be di-
vided up into building lots and sites for
manufacturing plans and several manu-
featuring companies have already made
application for sites for their factories.
The directors made an order for the
Immediate construction of the road to
Granville and cross tics are being deliv-
cred ON the ground while Manager +. NJ
Grant of the Utility company was di-
rected to purchase 500 tons of steel rails
which win be sufficient to cover five miles
of road.
The road to Cheat was ordered built,
but the surveys have not as yet been
made for this road. The Fairmont, Nor
gantown & Cheat River Street Railway
company has a franchise from the county
permitting it to build its road from Nor
gantown to Cheat river along the pike,
50 it is probable that the Union Utility
com pany's road will, for the greater part
Of the distance, be built in the fields un-
less it is found practicable to build both
roads on the pike. The survey and final
location of the trolley line to Granville
was made several days ago and it win
pass along through the bottom next to
the river and will, one. of the directors
said today, positively be completed this
fall.
The line will connect at the Pennsyl-
vania state line with the Pittsburg, Nc.
Kcesport and Connelsville trolley line,
and with the Fairmont, Morgantown and
Cheat River road at Morgnntown, giving
a trolley line from Clarksburg to Pitts
burg, when the CIarlSsburg and Fairmont

The Utility company has just issued ST.

BY TIMELY ARRIVAL OF FIRE
MAN IN WEST END WEDNES-
DAY NIGHT.
Pile Of Barrels and Boyes Catch Fire in
Basement of S. A Lewis Store, in
Room Used by Citizens Band.

But for the timely arrival of the fire
department at the S. a. Lewis grocery
and general merchandise store on West
Pike street Wednesday evening just be-
fore midnight, the entire building might
have burned to the ground. a blaze in
pile of boxes and barrels in the base
ment was discovered in its incipiency
and put out by the fremen before any
considerable damage was done.
The alarm was sent in to the fire de-
partment about 1I.4o o'clock. Some
one saw the blaze IN the basement be-
fore it had gained much Roadway. The
firemen arrived in ashort time afterwards
and extinguished the blaze with few
sprinkles of the hose.
The basement room is used as a prac-
tiee room by the Clarksburg Citizens
Band. The band held rehearsal in the
room just before going out on the street
in the eveing. 1t is presumed that the
fire was started by one of the bandmen
negligently throwing n cigar stump in
an old trash barreIl, which contained
paper and.cther light combustibles.
Several boxes and barrels and a slight
place in the floor of the store were burn
ed. The damage vii amount to but n
few dollars.
4 barrel of kerosene was standing
within few feet of the blaze and had
not the fire been put out when it was,
the result would have been disastrous
