SHOPS BURN
Near the City Of Morgantown
at a Loss of About
$4,000.

The shops of the Morgantown and

distance above Morgantown were to-
ally destroyed by fire last night. The

o'clock and had made considerable
Roadway before it was discovered.
Tive or six men were at the shops,
Who tried to fight the contiagration
but found the water supply and the
pressure wholly inadequate. The
shops, it seems, depend only on the
mountain line" of the Utilities Com
pany, and the fire hose gave only a
suggestion of real pressure and vol
lme in fighting flames.
The building was Of cheap con-
gtruction and was an easy prey for
he flames, which are said to have
originated from an imperfect electric
Connection in the room used by the
men of the shops as a lavatory. The
blaze spread rapidly, and although
the response to the call for aid was
quickly given, there was little hope
Of saving any part of the building.
The Office and the store, about fifty
feet form the shops, however, were
saved, and as the flames died down
last night, were still protected with
a play of streams of water.
The total loss on the building and
its contents is estimated at $4,000
and it is said to be covered by in.
surance. Only few days ago the
property and the insurance policies
were adjusted and all Of the details
of the valuation were gone over.
