The election Of two Democrats as
senator's will break the tie which
existed prior to the death OF senator
.Elkins as to the term OF service of
Democratic and Republican senators
respectively. For in the forty-eight
years Of the States existence the ag.
gregate term Of Republican senators
has been Just ferty-eight years and
the aggregate term Of Democratic
senators has been the same.
While their terms OF service have
been of equal aggregate length, the
Democrats have had seven senators,
while the Republicans have had out
five, making the average length Of
service OF the Republican senators
longer than the average for the Dem
ocrats.
Senator Elkins, with 16 years OF
service to his credit, lacking few
weeks, and two years more to serve
when he died, had the longest term
.of office of any OF the senators the
state has had! Senator's Davis,
Faulkner aud Scott! with twelve
years each of service, rank next to
Senator Elklns in length OF servlcei
Senator Kenna served ten years, his
career being ended like that OF
Senator Elkins, by death, when he
had two more years to serve. Senators
Camden and Wiley had eight years
each Of service, Senator's vanWinkle
ard Boreman six years each. while
Senators CaDerton, Price and Here
ford each served part of the same
six year term. Mr.. Caperton, who
was elected to the senatorshtp, died,
Mr.. Price was appointed to fill the
vacancy till the legislature convened

When the state was formed in
1883, the first senators chosen were
Peter e. VanWilkle, of Parkers-
burg. and Waitman T. Wiley, of
Morgantown. Mr.. Wiley drew the
short term of two years and was
elected for a full term as his own
successor in. 1865, serving until
March a, 1871. Mr.. Wiley, who was
reckoned one of the great lawyers
OF his period, was a member of the
West Virginia constitutional conven-
ton which framed the states first
constitution. He was senator from
Virginia under the restored govern
ment and when the new state was
formed was senator from it. He
died May 8, 1900.
Serving with Mr.. Wiley was Sena-
jtor VanWinkle. He, too, was con-
sidered one of the best lawyers Of
his period and territory. He was a
member OF the Virginia constitu-
ttoual convention OF 1850, and as
sisted in framing West Virginia's
first constitution, as member of the
constitutional convention. He was q
member of the reorganization con-

took an active part in the formation
of West Virginia. He died April II.

BIG FIRE AT EScANABA.
j. A. Burns Dry Goods Store Dam
aged to Extent of $4,000.

A fire that started on the upper floor
of j. A. Burns dry goods store, caused
damage that will exceed $4,000 to the
stock and building.
The building. which is Of brick, has
a fifty foot frontage on the northeast
corner of Ludington and Campbell
streets and Is owned by Patrick Fin
negan, who carried between $1,000
and $4,000 insurance 1t is quite pro-
bable that this will cover his loss, as
the damage to the building was con-
fined mostly TO the second story.
The exact amount of insurance that
Mr.. Burns had upon his stock could
not be learned, but inquiry at the diff
/ ferent insurance offices reveals that he
has around $4,000.
When the alarm was turned i'm the
fire had evidently been burning for a
long time and when the two depart
ments arrived the whole upper floor
was mass of flames that made II
possible for the men to get very quick
action.
Starting with two streams the num-
Der was added TO until five streams
were playing on different sections OF
the building. IL took almost an houi
to get the blaze under control and al
the hose i'm the different fire station
was in use. Thousands of gallons o
water was thrown into the secon,
story of the building.
AS soon as possible the firemel
gained access to the second floor am
took many risks in fighting the fir
that was burning overhead.
Fortunately there was but it'll
wind or the loss to adjoining build
ings would have been considerable
The fire was the most disastrous tina
has occurred in Escanaba for man
months.
