Especial TO The Times Over Liuc

In less than half an hour the Atlantic
Hotel and the Virginia Club were in
flames. Both of these structures adjo1n
the Columbia. The four-story' building on
the corner or Plum ana CRANKY Streets
occupied by the Johnston China Company
and apartments, together with the four
story brick building adjoining it. were
burning hriskly at $50. and 1t looks as
though the entire eastern downtown sec
ton of the city is threatened. a half
million dollars may not cover the loss.
2:S5 A. M.-All the north wing of the
Atlantic Hotel is in flames. Wind is
blowing fairly steadily UP towards Main
Street. Johnston's China store and flats
above are completely gutted.
The Virginia Club caught also, and it.
rs we'll as the Atlantic Hotel, will be de-
.troyed.
Mr.. Dwyer, the Associated Press opera
tor, was compelled to leave the telegraph
office. We are waiting now ia expectation

ferers, having lost all his personal effects,
with the exception of the suit of clothes

At 5 O'clock the big department store of
Watt, Rettew and Clay caught and is
burning tiercely. The Academy Of Music
is in this block, and will probably go next.
The walls Of the Atlantic Hotel, on the
CRANKY Street side, have fallen and those
on Main Street are ready to topple. The
firemen seem utterly powerless.

GOOD ROADS TRAIN
SEEMS CERTAIN
County Has Made Appropriation
and the City Will Do
Her Part.

1t seems reasonably certain that the
Southern's good roads train will be
brought TO Richmond. The meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce Committee in
terested in the matter, held yesterday
evening in the Office of Colonel w E.
Cutshaw. did not result in anything def
mite III regard TO the question. but from
the general interest and push which
characterized the statements made by
MessrS. O. II. Funsten. T. A. Cary and
I. Nj. Wortham II is evident the matter
is in good hands and will be success
fully put through.
The net result of this conference was
to instruct Secretary Dunlop, of the
Chamber of Commerce. To telegraph Ny
w. I'll. Moore president OF the National
Good Roads Association, that a definite
answer would be wired him to-day.
The question involved is the matter of
the cityS making a small appropriation
not over $500, towards paying the operat-
ing expenses of the demonstration here.
The matter was discussed at length by
Colonel Cutshaw, who said that he had
no doubt but that the city would support
the undertaking, but that before ii could
be certainly said that the appropriation
would be made it would be necessary to
have 10 so through the usual process Of
recommendation, consideration and ap-
proval.
For this purpose the Street Committee
will be called to meet some time before
Monday evening, when the regular meet
ing of the Council is held, and send the
recommendation for the appropriation
before that body. This process Will be
put through, but in the meantime, 10
avoid delay, the committee will canvass
the business men of the city for a guar
antee of the amount in case the city
turns the proposition down.
Mr.. John Z. Rose, of the Board OF Su-
pcrvisors of the county. said IIenrico
would come mp with her share, appro-
priaung $3.50 and furnishing teams and
laborers.
