The "Home Comfort "Boarding House," formerly the Throne room ing house, and the Atla3 Cleaning Works, occupying a small building adjoining, were totally destroyed by fire Monday evening, the alarm be ing turned in about 8:30 o'clock. The fire, Mr. Mahan, whose wife ran the boarding house, states, orig inated in the back room of the clean ing works, which were all ablaze be fore the inmates of the boarding house knew anything about it. The fire boys responded quickly, but for s me unexplained reason the press ure on one of the two lines of hose used was so poor that it was of little use. The two dwellings adjoining, one on each sl'to of the burned structures, were in great danger for some time and the one to the south was quite badly damaged through the heat and the breaking of win dows and throwing water into the house. The boarding house was owned by H. L. White aud Mrs. A. G. Barham (formerly Mrs. Annie Gash) and the Atlas Cleaning Works building was owned by E. L. Hacket of this city. The value of the buildings burned is problematical, both being some what aged. The boarding house had recently been repainted and fitted up inside and was opened as a board ing house by Mrs. E. J. Mahan March 1, after having been closed for some months. She was just get ting a good business started and loses all her furniture, as well as the personal effects of the family. They figure the loss on furniture at about $300, besides the loss of clothes and keepsakes, etc. The Atlas Cleaning Works were owned and run by M. B. Wilson, who with his family resided in the resi dence just south of the burned struc ture. They were living in furnished rooms, so their loss at their home is confined mostly to damaged wearing apparel, etc., by being wet, lost or destroyed in removal from the building. There was the usual number of fool stunts in trying to "save" the contents of the house south of the burned structures, furniture being thrown from the upstairs windows, etc. The attention of the crowd was divided a part of the time between the fire and a fight between Jack Bailey and Bill Cottrell, the latter a barber on Fourth street and a mem ber of the fire department. The losses and insurance, so near as can be learned, were as follows: The loss on the Home Comfort Boarding House is about $2,000 on building and $750 on furniture, with an insurance of $1,500 on building and $500 on furniture in the Bil lings agency. Tho cleaning works building was uninsured, the policy having expired only a short time ago and was not renewed.

POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE NOTES. RAILROAD OFFICIAL HERE. General Passenger Agent Scott Visits Ashland. J. M. Scott, the genial general pas senger agent for the S. P. system, was in Ashland Thursday in the in terest of his company and called on the Tidings editor. It is his policy to keep in close touch with life and activity along his lines, studying the needs of the different communities, and to this end he makes frequent visits to the cities within his terri tory. The attitude of the railroads to the people and the people to the railroads is changing rapidly. As the needs of each become better under stood by the other the real rights of each are-more fully recognized and the true relation, that relation which ought always to have existed between the railroads and their patrons, is becoming more fully realized and es tablished. No railroad can prosper without the co-operation of the peo ple, and no community develops to its fullness without a railroad. 5O0 Dead in North Dayton.
