Wipes Out an Old Lsndmsrk--odd Fei-
lows, Building Scorched--The Losses
Shortly before 4 o'clock this
morning the usual fire alarm arous-
ed many of our people. The fire
was discovered at the old building
of the Ardmore Steam laundry.
Being a frame building and the
contents of an infiamable nature
the fire spread rapidly and soon
enveloped the entire building, which
was completely destroyed.
A large wareroom on the south
side, the property of j. b. Sprag-
ins & Company, which was filled
with out-of-season machinery. etc.,
was also destroyed.
Another large wareroom adJoin-
ing on the east, belonging to the
same firm, was by dint of excellent
work of the fire department saved.
On the north side the Odd Eel
lows building seemed in imminent
danger, and for time it seemed as
if the fire fiend was again on the
--ail of the ARDMoREITE. Cool
heads predominated in the battle
with the fire, however, and although
somewhat disfigured and slightly
scorched, we are here to tell the
story.
The origin of the fire is supposed
to have been a lamp explosion in
the Office of the laundry.a
The laundry building was the
property of j. S. Clark, who esti-
mated its worth at about 5000, OF
which there was no insurance.
The machinery and plant Of tie
laundry was the property Of our
young friend, c. w. Rollins, and
was valued at from So, 900 to $500.
On this Mr.. Rollins had $1,000 in.
surance with the firm of Bruce &
Torbett.
The wareroom belonging to
Spragins & Company was valued
at $500 and on this there was no
insurance.
The contents of this building,
which consisted of mowers and
binders, plows, general farming
machinery, ETC., is valued at be-
tween $500 and $4,000 On this
stock Mr.. Spragins had insurance
with Bruce g. Torbett for $1400,
and with the firm of Tisdal & Tis-
dal further sum of $500.
The damage to the Odd Fellows
building can not at present be es-
timated until expert examination
of the walls, which some seem to
think are materially damaged.
Apart from this one of the large
plate glass windows in the front
Of the buildingis broken from top
to bottom. Several windows in
the ARDMoREITE Office and two in
the hall above were burned out but
the fire got no further. Nothing
inside the Odd Eel ows' hall was
disturbed. The Odd Fellows dam
age is fully covered by insurance.
The damage to the ARDMoREIIE
will not exceed $50.

I'll v MILLS HOTEL!S.

Chicago doesn't take pride in imitat- ing New York, but she does not always decline to do a good thing because New York has done it first She is now talk ing of establishing a hotel like the Mills hotels in New York, and the other day the Merchants club of Chicago brought together number of those interested in the project to hear what Manager John L. Thomas of the Mills hotels in New York had to say of that experi- ence. He said that hotel No. 1 had 1,554 rooms, and that the average number of lodgers for twelve months past has been 559, some few rooms being rented by day to night workers and rented again at night for day workers. Thus the ho- tel is constantly full. MT, Thomas knows positively" that the pauper and hospital expenses-of the city have been decreased by these hotels. Of the class es patronzing the hotels he said: Of the thousands who take rooms at the hotel for twenty cents night and meals
