reached the scene. The boys worked
intelligently and hard, and handled
the situation in fine style.
The blaze was confined to the upper
stories OF the building but the water
ran into the lower floor in great guam
titles, greatly damaging the material
stored there. There was about 1000
worth OF material stored in the build
ing, and Mr.. Crawford states that more
than half of this will be a total loss.
The loss is fully covered by policies
in companies represented by Agent
Harry S. Thompson, of this city.

a Heavy Loss.
QUANTITY OF MATERIAL DAMAGED
Fire Discovered Shortly Before 7
O'Clock and Entire Department
sras Summoned Damage Be-
tween $40, 900 and $4,000.

One OF the most Costly fires that has
ever visited the Crawford Wooden
mill, in this city, was discovered in
the big storeroom at that plant short
ly before Z o'clock this morning, and
before the hard work of the entire de-
partmet OF the city could succeed in
extinguishing the blaze, material to the
amount of from $4,000 to $4,000 was
destroyed by the combination Of fire,
smoke and water
How the fire originated is a mys-
terry, and the only theory that seems to
be plausible is that it originated either
from spontaneous combustion or de-
fective electric wiring. There was no
fire about the building.
No evidence of the blaze was seen
at o'clock this morning, when the
night Waterman made his customary
round, but shortly before Z o'clock a
strong smell OF smoke aroused the sIs-
picions of some OF the employees, who
made an investigation and located the
fire in the big storeroom. BY this
time the fire, which was located on the
second and third floors, had made con-
siderable Roadway
The whistle Of the plant Immediate
" sounded the fire signal, and an
alarm was turned into headquarters.
Ryneal No. responded quickly, reach
ing the scene of the blaze in a very
short time. A general alarm was
then sounded, and the other four COM
panies Immediately responded. Pend
ing the arrival of the fire department,
the mill fire company went to work and
had one stream Of water playing on
the blaze when the city firemen ar
rived.
Four streams were soon concentrat-
ed on the burning building, and the
blaze was entirely extinguished in
about a half-hour after the fire boys

Miss Virginia Duvall. daughter of

in Hedgesville, by drinking laudanum.
The attempt would have proved sue

arrival OF medical assistance.
Miss. Duvall who has been making
her home with Mrs. Charles New
kirk, had been receiving attention
from a young man named Oscar Cross,
the Young lady accepting his atten-
tons.
Sometime Saturday quarrel took
place between the couple. resulting in
them separating. The young lady be-
came Respondent after the quarrel and
made known the fact to Mrs. New
kirk that she was going to end her
life, but no attention was paid to the
threat.
Sunday morning, by agreement, the
couple met at the home OF Mrs Charles
Eversole, to try and remedy matters,
but from the result 1t seems as though
there could be no satisfactory conclu-
sion to the meeting. The young lady,
giving up all hope OF reconciliation,
drew from the folds Of her dress q bot
tie of laudanum, and in the presence
of her lover put the bottle to her
lips and swallowed two ounces OF
the fluid.
The young man, realizing what his
sweetheart had DONE called for assists

fWrittcn for The Journal by memo. J
We wonder If people fifty years
hence will care to look over the OF
fee files of this paper and gather
from them the life of today, and get
a glimpse of us poor little actors,
who will have played our part in
the drama of life and passed from
the stage!
We have lately had the chance TO
look through the office files Of a pa
per, long since extinct, that was
published in the Shenandoah valley.
The volume we had access to began
in the April OF 1850 and ended IN
January of 1854. 1t was, OF course,
a weekly paper. Few are living to-
day who had part in its manage
ment. or are mentioned in it's col
umns; but from them we catch a
glimpse of the life Of that day, Its
tragedies, its comedies and its news
and some OF its scandals; old tradi7
tions are verified and many an OLD
story recalled.
Among them is sad, sad story OF
a young mans downfall and the
blighted life of a loving woman
story that is familiar to many OF our
people; and now that all concerned
in it have passed away, it may be re-
called.
Many years ago we met the nap

too deeply from the cup OF sorrow
We think that her death occurred
about ten years ago.
