THE DRAMATIC EVENTS THAT LED TO TIIE SEPARATION OP WESTERN VIRGINIA PROM TJLE OI-D DOMINION RECALLED. FIGURES THAT WERE PROMIN ENT IN THE 'SIXTIES NEARLY ALL, DEAD NOW. Yesterday was tho thirty-fifth birth day of tho war-bom state of West Vir ginia, but aaldo from references to tho occasion- made In tho schools there was no observance of tho day In this com munity. No other state camo into 'be ing under nuch dramatic conditions and now when all but a few of tho men who figured In tho Reparation of western Virginia from tho Old Dominion, have gone to their llnal rest, the events that led up to the signing of- the net form ing the ro?w state on June 20, 1SG3, by President Lincoln, are of interest. Through an incorrect publication In on evening paper the impression was cre ated that yesterday was the thirty sixth birthday of the state. Of tho staunch Unionists who took parts In the movement that Anally end ed In the separation of western Virginia from tho old state, but three remain. Governor Pierpont, of Fairmont, who, by the wn.v, was the governor of the restored (or Union) government of Vir ginia and not governor of West Vir ginia, as many people suppose; ex Hena'or Walt man G. Willie, of Mor gantown, and Hon. A. W. Camp bell, of this city, formerly ed itor of the Intelligencer., Governor Pierpont lives in. retirement at Fair mont, and, considering his advanced age, enjoys excellent health. Mr. Campbell, too, Is not now engaged In active pursuits', and Is at present visit ing his daughter.in; Missouri. Tho first governor of the new state was Arthur I. Boreman, of Parkers burg, who died about two years ago. He remained in public life until his death, his last public trust being tho Judgeship of the Judicial district of which Wood county Is a part. Mr. Boreman was a member of the legisla ture of Virginia from 1855 to 1SG0. He was prominent in the events that led to the formation of the new state and pre sided over tho Wheeling convention in 1S61 to reorganize the government of Virginia. In 1S63 ho was the unanimous choice of tho people for first governor of the ne*7 suite, and was re-elected in ISC I and 1SCG. He then became Unltvd States senator. Later he became circuit judge and was continued in of fice until h's death. The several governors of the state have been: Arthur I. Boreman, of Parkersburg, 1S63-69. P. D. T. Farnsworth, of Buckhannon, February 27 to March 3, 1SC9, acting as president of the state senate ex-ofilclo. W. E. Stevenson, of Parkersburg, 1S69-7L John J. Jacob, of Romney and Wheel ing, 1S71-77. H. jr. Mathews, of Lewlsburg, 1S77-SL Jacob B. Jackson, of Parkersburg, 1SH-S5. E. W. Wilson, of Charleston, 1S85-S9. A. B. Fleming, of Fairmont. 1SS9-03. W. A. MacCorkle, of Charleston, 1S93-97. G. W. Atkinson, of Wheeling, 1SD7?. In the Virginia secession convention at Richmond there was a strong Union sentiment that appeared for a time strong enough to retain-the old state in tact in the Union, but the wave that swept over the eastern part of the state from the south placed the state in the Confederacy. Before the convention had adjourned the inhabitants of the western rart of the state had met at various plrces to discuss the situation. At the first of these, Chlckahomlny, April 22,1SG1, John S. Carllle, a member of the convention, offered a series of resolutions calling for an assembly of delegates of the people at Wheeling on May 13. IS'Gl. At the Wheeling conven tion nearly -100 delegates represented over forty counties. The formation of a new state was discussed, and there was remarkable unanimity of sentiment among the* delegates. By resolution, the Ordinance of Secession was de nounced, and a more regular and repre sentative gathering was called, to be held at Whaling on June 11. A central comnjittee issued an- address to the peo ple on May 22. These proceedings alarmed the Rich mond government, and Governor Letcher ordered the seizure of urms at Wheeling. The- convention met at Wheeling June 11, with Arthur I. Bore man presiding. Allegiance to the Con federacy was denied, and it was de clared that all state ofllcers adhering to the Confederacy were suspended and their offices vacated; On June 17 a de claration of independence of the old government of Virginia was passed, and was signed by the fifty-six members present. On June 20th there was a unanimous vote of separation and a provisional government was formed, with Francis JL Pierpont, of Fairmont, as governor; Daoilel I'olsley, of Mason county, lieutenant-governor, and a council 0$ five. Governor Pierpont asked notional aid to suppress the Insurrection, lie suc ceeded In raising 512,000 for the public use, giving his own pledge. A legisla ture was elected and met at Wheeling July 1, and elected John S. Carllle and Wa-lttnan G. Willie United Stales sen ators. The convention met again- on August 20,1S61, when an ordinance pro viding for a new s^ate was adopted, which wan later submitted to the peo ple and by them ratified. At a session of the convention' on November 20, 1SGI, the name West Virginia was given to the new state. A constitution was framed which the people ratified on May 3, 1S62. In the congress of tho United States, the separation of the new state from Virginia w>s debated for many months, and finally on June 20, 18C3, the act wus signed by President Llrcoln and the state was legally brought Into exist ence.

Wheeling had two small flres yester day. Doth were in the evening; one on the South Side, the other on tho iBland, and neither was serious. The South Side blaze occurred at 7:20 p. m., and was In a stable at the rear of tho furniture store of White, ll.indley & Foster, below Twenty-second street. Hand grenades were used with such ef fect that the blaze was extinguished when the flre-department arrived at the scene. The loss was trifling. An hour later there was a small fire on the Island, In the house at the comer of Front and Zane streets, occupied by James Dyson. A laco curtain caught fire, but the blaze was nearly extln guished when tho Island chemical put an end to It. The house Is owned by George W. Eckhardt. The loss was of no consequence.
