The Southern Hotel Fire.

ST. Louis, April lS.-The coroner's in
quest proceeded with the investigation of
the Southern Hotel fire this morning, but
no evidence having any bearing on the
origin of the fire or its management was
brought out.
Jno. K. Reese, professor of mathemat
les in Washington University, gave a
graphic description of the escape of him
self and wife and two chambermaids who
were rescued frem the window of his room
on the sixth floor, on the Fourth street
front by Phelm Toole, the daring fireman.
He knew nothing about the origin of the
fire. He knew OF no alarm being given in
the upper stories and only learned Of the
fire by noise in the hall. When!he opened
the door Of his room, the smoke was SC
| dense that he was forced to go back into
the room, where they remained until taken
down on the Skinner escape by Toole.
