CITY is FIRE SWEPT.
Warrington Suffers Loss Of $4,000
BY Big conflagration.

Warrington, w. Va.-The total loss
in Mannington's big conhagration,
which wiped out the entire business
section of Market street, will amount
to about $150,O0O and probably more.
One side of the street was entirely
burned out, together with all the build
ings in the rear, facing on Railroad
street. The flames were confined to
one block. The Bartlett hotel, just OPP
oosite the fire center, narrowly es-
capped
The fire started In the Warrington
bakery on Railroad street, in the rear
of the Exchange bank. 1t had gained
much Roadway before it was discover
cd, and although the fire company re-
sponded quickly, it was unable to con-
troll the flames, and a hurried call was
sent to Fairmont for aid. The Fair
mont Department arrived on a special
car at 5 o'clock. and the conditions
we're such then that it looked like the
whole town would be wiped out. Both
departments labored hard and it was
nearly 8 O'Clock before the flames
were under control.

UP TO LEGISLATURE
DENEEN CANNOT APPOINT NEW
SENATOR.
Under Lea Resolution Election Was
Invalid, the Legislature Alone
Having the Power to Act.

Springfield, ILL.,. July 19.-Attorney
General Stead, in voluminous opin-
lon, rendered to the governor Wednes-
day. holds that the unseating of Sena-
tor Lorimer creates no vacancy and
Governor Deneen has no power to
appoint a successor
Whether a special session of the
Legislature will be called at once so
that Lorimer's successor may be
elected has not been decided. Gov
ernor Deneen declined to discuss this
phase of the situation. He said he
had not decided what he would do
In contending there is no vacancy
within the meaning of the Constitu-
ton, Attorney General Stead cites as
analogous the cases of Lee Mantle
Of Montana and Matthew s.. Quay of
Pennsylvania. Mantle had served a
full term, but the Montana legislature,
though In session and legally organ
lied, failed to elect his successor.
The state executive proceeded to ap-
point, contending there was q va
cancy, but the federal senate decided
that the legislatures failure to elect
did not create vacancy as constitu-
tionally considered The facts in the
Quay case are substantially the same.
The opinion incidentally sets forth
that the senate investigation was not
to inquire into the conduct OF Mr.
Lorimer as senator. 1t did not expel
him, but it determined that his cleo.
ton was invalid" and therefore, tech.
nically, there had been no election
