the FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL.

Explorations in the burnt hotel show a. ev-
cry point sorry evidence Of the devastating
work of the flames and smoke. Carpets had
been taken up, water ooZed through the fres-
coed ceilings, and ruined furniture was piled
up on all sides Not desiring any oficious
clerk or porter to obscure the object of the
examination by evasive explanations, your
correspondent determined to examine TIE
place by himself alone. Going to the top of
the house, he raised a window on the west,
which looked out upon gravelied root.
Passing thence across the white pebbles,
which proved remarkably treacherous, owing
to the ice which had collected on them from
the firemens hose, the reporter comes to a
short iron bridge, perhaps eight feet long,
over which a half burned board had been
placed. This was one means of communica
ton with the isolated 'den" in which the girls
had been killed. Looking at the frail bridge,
and calculating the chances of life in case Of
slip on the ice or false step at that dizzy
height, due regard for his responsibility to
the readers, led him almost inyoluntarily =
retreat on the icy gravel stones. There were
the rooms with the window frames burned
out, marking the place where the p3or i'm
prisoned creatures shouted in vain for deliv-
GRANGE from the advancing flames, which
came not. The better to examine thorough
ly the place, the reporter mounted an iron
ladder which led to the top of the wing in
which the disaster occurred. Here ascene
of indescribahie confusion was revealed 10
the gaze.
Mortar, bricks, bedding, female underclo;h
ing, hoop skirts, crockery and debris gencr-
ally lay in one mass, and right in front was
one of the most perfect traps that one could
possibly imagine. All these human beings
in two rooms of an isolated attic, with no APP
proach but a single stairway! As if this
were not bad enough, the windows had iron
screens, and it is even said by some of the
iremen who fought their way up, and bust
an entrance with their axes, there was
an iron door which had been placed there
to secure the girls from the intrusion
of other employees of the house-but the
latter report lacks confirmation. While one
person connected with the hotel last night adj
mitted its truth, another positively denied it.
A careful examination of the place showed
that there was really no mode of escape.
There was no escape to the roof, as the win
dows were iron barred, the stairway
gone, and if the story of the iron-door
be true, the girls were literally Gagged I'M
til the advancing flames put an end to their
est inquiry, and if the hotel proprietors are
blameless, that fact should be made plain.
At present the public mind is much excited
on the subject, and the enquiry is naturally
made, are there any more hotels in the
city fitted with similar death-traps for their
servants.

the South must pass in casting off the bar

The landing Of two thousand Italian

paupers at New York at this season of the
year Is view Of immigration which is
not very cheerful. The reports that they
are brigands and desperadoes is not true
it appears, but then if they are going to
take to grinding hand organs for a liveli-
hood, as many italian immigrants do, we
had better not have them. We can afford
to welcome any class from Europe that is
willing to work with spade, axe or hoe,
or in the shops for an honest living, but
this is no country for professional beggars
ard shiftless vagabonds.
