in the laundry. The loss amounts to 49,
900. One woman was burned fatally and
two more seriously. There was great eX-
element among the guests.
LATER.-The fire broke out in the cock
loft, which was occupied by laundy women
and domestics. Sixteen bodies were found
burned beyond recognition. The bodies
found were near the only window of the
room, which was then barred. The only
means of escape was the stairway which
was in flames. The victims had to wait
for death. 1t is hoped that many died
while asleep. Twenty-Five bodies were
recovered up TO two o'clock. The fire
originated in the elevator leading to the
laundry. None of the five hundred guests
are reported injured. The loss by the fire
and '"''ater is probably over 100000.
OF eleven bodies at the morgue from the
Fifth avenue hc;1' -nly two were recog-
niZed. All gave signs of terrible suffering.
Mary Heaney, one of the servants at the
hotel, is at Bellevue hospital having been
injured by falling through the fire while
attempting to escape. She states when
the alarm of fire was given that she ran
and knocked at nearly all the doors of the
servants and bursted opened two of them.
She then tried to get down stairs, but the
smoke and flames drove her back, when,
with Mary Turney and Bridget Cortes, she
broke open sky-light and got on TO the
roof remaining there until the firemen
rescued them. 1t is now thought only
eleven girls persisted. Greswald, one of
the proprietors, emphatically denies any
delay in sounding the alarm. Upon the
discovery of the fire the servants were
dispatched to wake the girls and prompt
measures taken to alarm the guests.
