list. Monday night, some individual,
name unknown, broke into the stable CT
Mr.. Masoc, in Edgefeld County, about
six miles from Augusta, and carried away
II fine horse. Search was made for the
thief, yesterday, but Ee lad not been
found up TO the latest accounts.

CRIMINAL INDIFFERENCE TO THE Loss; Loss;

least dozen female servants were roast
ed alive, without opportunity of escape.
life. -
AN eyewitness says that no doubt il
an alarm had been sounded on the dis.
covery OF the FIRE, the girls would have
been rescued. The general Impression
ls. that the hotel proprietors, in their
anxiety to save the furniture and CARPETS.
wanted to put the fire out themselves.
ihe loud, piercing screams of the girls
on the top floor were distinctly heard in
the basement. At this time, the fire had
made great headway; but even then a
9otel employee, whose attention was
directed to the great glare, said, "Oh. if
IS nothing;;" and again. "These girls will
way." "'
Gen. Smaller, of the fire department.
says the alarm was not given soon enough.
Chief Engineer Perley says the location
OF the fire was first telegraphed to him
at eighteen minutes past II, and firemen
were on the ground Eve minutes later.
lie thinks the delay at the hotel in civ.
ing the alarm unacoountable.
The tortuous ways of the interior of
the building prevented the firemen doing
very effective service. The foreman OF
one company says that at first he was
refused admittance to the hotel, with the
excuse that they didn't wish q panic
among the guests. He finally insisted
upon entering.
The Fire Marshal says that nothing
IKE sufficient precaution had been taken
20 guard against loss Of life in the event
OF ire at the hotel, and that he finds
nc no ehorts were made by the people in
the MOTEL to rescue the girls. He thinks
tho authorities were 80 concerned abont
!he baggage of the guests that human
lives were forgotten. Besides the work.
men were looking after the baggage in.
stead of attempting the rescue Of the
endangered people.
An employee says that he Intellectually
