Further OF the Fire.
. SARATOGA. y. Y, October 1.-The
( efforts ofthe frcmen to-day, resulted in
saving the Grand Union and Congress
Hotels intact. The origin Of the fire is
n, vet, Il mystery. It.originsted in the
north end Of the south wing, in the up
per story, and it cannot be learned thst
any one WAS in that part Of the building.
The opinion prevails that it Was SCI on
7 fire intentionally, and the escape Of the
principal hotels is regarded
a. providential. The wind
was blowing almost gale from the
| southwest, carrying shower of burning
cindcrs on the roofs Of the Grand Union
and Congress Hotels. At one time,
about noon, the frcmen had the flames
pretty we'll under control and i. was
! believed that they would be confined TO
the south wing, when suddenly the
flames We're seen TO burst from the tower
Of the Grand Union, driving the fre-
lurn out Of the building and gaining
sudden ard irresistible hradway. At
thi, tirar i, seemed ps though tho teStruc-
tion OF the Grand Union and Congress
hotels was certain, when ali nj once the
wind shifted more u the southwest and
tion Of Congress Park. Several times
the fire caught in the roof and windows
Of the Congress and Grand Union
hotel, and was only eHtinguished by great
effort, in the face of binding heat and
smoke. As soon rs the wind shifted, the
irenen regaincd control Of the fire. II
seemed at one time aS if the destruction
OF half the village Was inevitable, and
help was sent for from Bath, Troy and
White Hall. Aid came from both quar-
tiers, and from Ballston, and the fire WAS
prevented from spreading. The Grand
Hotel i, entirely destroyed. The build
ing is worth sbout 5000 ,O0O and was i'll
surcd for about 100000. The furniture
was insured for about 500 OOO.
