Fierce Fire At Columbus, Ohio

Columbus, O., March 14. - At 9 o'clock Tuesday evening fire was discovered in the paint shop of the Buckeye Buggy company's new six-story brick building, and owing to the inflammable material on hand and the high wind that prevailed it was plain at the time the fire department arrived that the building was doomed, and for a time it seemed that the whole square must go. The occupants of the buildings in the vicinity began to remove their goods. The freight depots of the C., St. L. & P., and the I., B. & W. Railroad companies, the Exchange hotel building and the north Market house caught fire, and were more or less damaged. The loss to the buggy company will reach $140,000, and the damage to the other buildings will raise this up toward $200,000. The buggy company has insurance of $80,000.
