at the head of the good-roads movement

much thought and study TO the subject,
and discussed II in a very able ana
thorough manner. He advocated the local
building and control of roads. and the levy
of a special State tax for the construction
of good roads. and a county tax, ana
also a district tax. a wheel tax, to be re-

FIRE IN A FACTORY.
MIR. J. N. BOYD's sTEMMERY DE-
DEMOLISHED THIS MORNING.
DAMAGE ESTIMATED At $4,000.
The Origin Nystery-Believed 10
he Due to Spontaneous Combus-
tion-Loss Covered by Insurance
Many Hands Thrown Out of Work.

The large tobacco-factory situated on
the east side of Brook avenue between
Clay and Leigh streets. which is owned
and operated by Mr.. James N. Boyd, was
completely destroyed by fire early this
morning, entailing a loss of about $4,000
The first alarm was turned in from the
Third Police-Station at l2;H. When dis
covered. the fire had gained considerable
headway, and the second alarm followed
the first after an interval Of few min
utes only. A special call was sent out
shortly afterwards. and at 2:20 No.
Engine was sgnaled for.
The origin of the fire is mystery, as
there had been no light in or near the
building all day. and the only theory ad-
yanced so far is that il was due TO spon-
taneous combustion among the leaf-to-
bacco.
The factory, which was fine. three
story structure, was used by Mr.. Boyd
as a reprizery and stemmery. 1t con-
tanned about $4,000 worth of stock. which
is a total loss. The building, which is
valued at 5000. was completely gutted.
1t was erected many years ago by
Messrs. Oliver & Robinson, and used by
them for the manufacturing of tobacco.
When this firm went out of business,
they were succeeded by Messrs Butler
q Bosher. and later the factory went into
the hands of Messrs. Butler & Wilson.
Five years ago Mr.. James n. Boyd pur-
chased the property, and has operated 1t
ever since, employing a regular stan OF
$50 there.
LOSS COVERED BY INSURANCE.
Mr.. Boyd's loss is believed to be COW
e4red completely by insurance. though
the particulars could not be learned last
night. The building is believed to have
been insured through the office of Messrs.
Peyton & Sinton. Insurance on the
stock has been placed through the Of
fees of Mr.. T. l.. Alfriend. Mr.. ID. n.
Walker, and the Virginia Trust Com
pany.
The work of the Fire Department was
highly creditable They were called TO
the fire when it had gained considerable
headway. and the age of the building,
with the inflammable nature OF the
stock combined to make their labors the
more trying and hazardous. The fact
that they were able to keep the flames
from spreading TO the adjoining building
speaks volumes for their efficiency.
At 1920 o'clock this morning the flames
were reasonably well under control,
raging only in the upper story and roof
of the building. The weather was ex-
ceedingly cold, the waste water freezing
under the feet of the firemen upon the
ground The officers and members of
the department worked with untiring zeal
and great ability. Notwithstanding the
severity of the weather and all other un
toward conditions.

night, and each denied having received

THE JAMEs-RIVER MAILS.
Contract for Carrying Them Award
ed to the Navigation Company.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February o.
Especial THE contract for carrying the
United States mail between Richmond
and Norfolk, after a quiet, but steady
and stubborn contest on the part of
Superintendent Irwin Weisiger, of the
James-River Navigation Company, has
been awarded TO that company. The
combination between the Petersburg
parties and the owners of the sylvester
has been completely routed, and II Is
probable that they will never be heard
of again in connection with the mails
Some changes have been made so as
to include Fort Monroe and Portsmouth.
and the running time has been re-
duced from thirteen and half hours 10
twelve hours each way. The contract
price is $1,000 year.
In regard to the transportation OF the
mails between Baltimore and Norfolk,
there was nothing TO be given out AT
present at the department, wneh called
AT 2:SO F. Nj. to-day. 1t Is understood
however. that action has been taken IN
both cases. The mails have heretofore
boen carried between Baltimore and
Norfolk by the Bay-Line steamers. The
rine department of the Southern rail-
way. however. has estapllsheu d Ahe
~ steamers between these points, ana
this line is a rival bidder for the trans
narration of the mails. There Is every
reason 10 believe that the latter line
viii be successful in getting the con
tract though there is no authority Tor
