DESTROYS
BOYD WAREHOUSE
That Cigarette or Cigar
Stump May Have Been the
Cause.

Fire, starting about 10 o'clock last
night, entirely destroyed one of the stor-
age houses Of James N. Boyd and Com
pany. tobacco dealers, at Price and Pull
liam Streets. The building was q wooden
structure, and, filed as it was with dry
leaf tobacco, formed a splendid prey for
tho flames. which, even after a hard fight
by the fire department, soon devoured tho
place from end to end.
In the building was stored a large mum
her OF llngsheads of tobacco belonging to
Mr.. fAdoyphus Dill, all of which. If not
entirely consumed, were utterly destroyed
by the combined action of the flames and
water.
How the blaze started, neither Mr..
Boyd nor any one else could say. Mr..
Boyd was of the opinion that it may have
received its origin from a lighted ciga-
rette or a cigar stump, carelessly thrown
by some passer-by into the building. Flo
felt assured that 1t was not of incendtary
origin. No fires are kept In the building;
