under the direction of such persons
as a majority of them may
direct, for the purpose of re.
ceiving subscriptions to the capital
stock of such company"
This Is copied from the laws of
our State and 1t Is the law. Until
such notice has been published and
subscription books kept open no
railroad company can be legally or
ganized In this State. The incor-
porators of the so called Williams
town & Moundsville Railroad Co.,
have not published such notice
In even one newspaper, nor have
they kept subscription books open,
and for these reasons. we
say In law that there Is
no such railroad company, Its q
mere nullity, and has no existence.
We favor any company that will
build a railroad. But we don't think
any set of men who will not even
legally organize company can
hope 10 get capitalists to invest
million dollars In an enterprise or
a million cents. We want rail-
road, bnt we can never hope to get
Il by boasting fakes companys and
the W & M. Is certainly fake to
say the least of 1t. If 1t means
business let 1t be legally organized
and get down to work according to
law and we are ready to back 1t up
all we can possibly do.

Word reached Wheeling this
morning that the entire city OF
Cameron, stood In a fair way OF
being destroyed by a disastrous
re,which swept over the little city
late last evening.
One Is dead, and several others
were slightly burned while trying
to extiuguish the flames. The
conaagration started through a
sudden over pressure of gas coming
on while the gas In stoves In sew
eral OF the houses was burning
Many explosions followed. The
first and most disastrous fire started
In the residence of Wyland v ilson'
One halt of the b use Is occup ed
by the Barr family.
Simultaneous with the explosion
which occurred In the Wilson res
idence, others took place In many
homes In the city. In which gas Is
used The Wilson property was
burned down to the ground and
he loss on the property an con.
rents will be in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. When the explosion oc-
Cured Mr.. Barr and his wife were
sitting In he parlor of their apart
ments. Their little seven months
old child was comfortably resting
upon q cot near them.

On account of the great increase
In their business and the determtna'
tion to keep pace with the growth
of the city, the enterprising firm OF
Mccoy & Alexander mas deter min
ed upon the erection of a new mill
md ware house that shall be
sufficient to accommodate the large
patronage which the prospects for
the immediate future promise will
be their portion OF the prosperity
In store for all Ststersville. Some
time ago, this firm purchased about
an acre of ground from the Sisters
vile Window Glass company,
securing that portion of the proper
ty of the company laying I'm
mediately south of the Ice plant.
Upon this it Is their intention to
erect a large planning mill, which
shall be of much greater capacity
than the one now In operation, and
will be supplied with all
the latest and best machin-
cry for the manufacture of wood
into anything and everything that
goes into th+ construction of any
sort of a frame structure. In addi-
tion to this, they will erect an I'm
mense ware house for the accou-
modation of the material on hand.
They will also have commodious
yard for the huge stock which they
always carry in the rough" TIE
first building to be erected will be
the warehouse, the construction of

NEW PLANNING MILL

which will begin next week. 1t
will be an imposing two story edi
f,e, some 4oxroo feet In size. Ia
it will be kept full line of slate,
tin ireo6ng tiling, and In fact,
every hing that goes into the erec-
tion of a house except portion OF
the hardware. 1t Is the intention
of this firm from now on to handle
all hat Is necessary for the com
plete construction of a building of
anv kind from the bottom of the
cellar to the comb of the ROOF, except
as stated before. a portion of the
hardware The new planning mill
may not be erected before the end
of what promises to be the most
busy season for builders in the his
tory of the city, but will then be
constructed, and when flushed
according to present plans. will be
the most complete and most modern
and most convenient mill along the
Ohio Valley.
T e Review congratulates this
hustling firm on the success that
makes these Improvements neces,
sary, and congratulates the citizens
upon the enforced enlargement of
An institution which more than any
one other Is In icative of the
growth of the town. When the
planning mills and carpenters and
p asterers and paper hangers are
working over time, there Is n"
danger for the city, and that Is just
what they all will be d Ing from
now until the end of the incoming
building season.

EXPLOSION OF
GAS in CAMERON

As soon as the loud detonation
rang out both parties made a rush
for the door. Each thought the
other had the little babe and their
one thought was for escape. Bv
the time the couple had reached
the street below, the entire dwell,
Ing was wrapped In sheet OF
flames. After the fire had accom-
plished Its course The charred body
Of the little infant was found In the
bed.
About the time the explosion
occurred In the Wilson home an
other took place In what Is known
as the Mantle" house near by.
! his house Is occupied by two fam
lilies, named Crockard and Orlof
The building was con sumed and
everything In the house was re-
duced to ashes.
A third explosion set fire to the
flee occupied by Mayor Frye, and
although the Office furniture was
destroyed, tn rest of the building
was saved from destruction. Many
other fires occurred, but were ex
tinpuished before the flames had
gained headway. For a time 1t
looked as though the entire city
would be destroyed when at least
twenty five buildings were on fire
at one time. However, the prompt
work of the fire departments and
''bucket brlgades" saved a disas
