LAST TO LEAVE MIDLAND.

Hugh Coyle, Barnum's Press Agent,
Stayed Till the Bricks Fell.

Hugh Coyle, circus man, the original Barnum press agent was the last to leave the Midland hotel when that hostelry finally closed its doors last night, after having served its patrons for many years. Mr. Coyle went to the Baltimore.

Among the last to leave were J. H. Adams and L. A. Poinsett, who have been guests of the hotel for years. Both went to the Baltimore, where they registered as coming from the Midland.

Workmen have already begun to dismantle the building in order to remodel it and make it into an office building. The buffet and barber shop, which remained open to the last, were closed last night.
