IT seems the fire in the st Louis hotel
had made great headway before alarm
was sounded-that the hotel was con-
structed as if with view to be quickly
consumed-and that the special anxiety
of the managers of the house seemed to
be to prevent the disturbance OF the
guests. The theory upon which the ho'
tel was conducted was that if the fire
could not be put out without disturb
ance, the duty of the guests was to be
burned quietly in their rooms. Then the
fire department was so inefficient that
the St. Louis papers are merciless in Criti-
cisms, when, as is well known, it is the
duty Of all well regulated newspapers to
praise the local fire department to the
full extent of their ability.
The hotel engineer makes this state
ment;
GAS to the prime cause Of the fire l can
not, of course, speak knowingly. But |
do know that in the northeast corner of
the store.room was pile of mattresses
and loose hair. about fUe feet from that
bbe boz in lUEich the stock Of matches 1OdS kept
stood ON the floor. Some time ago Ue used 10
keen them on a shell, but a rat or a cat knock
d Them off one night and Hey ignited and oc-
casioned us deal of trouble. l have no
doubt that the fire was due to the mat
tresses and hair, but do not know how it
originated. The walls Of the store-room
were of pine flooring. The freight eleva'
tor was only few feet north Of the cor
ner in which the moss pile stood, The
elevator was not confined in any
way, and consequently there was DOW
erf1t draft through it when the air began
to grow hot, and this drew the fire in
that direction, and to the upper floors
with great rapidity. The passenger ele-
yator did not extend below the first
floor, and consequently it had nothing
to do with aiding the progress of the
fire.
"The smoke was first discovered by the
night clerk in the Office, who sent bell
boy up to rouse Mr.. Shepherd, and an
other one to notify the assistant engl-
neer who was on duty. had frequently
requested that in case OF nre L pc sum.
moned before any one else, as had
charge Of the fire appliance, but for some
reason or other this request was not re-
parded on this occasion, and was only
awakened when the guests began K
scream. don't know whether the pro
prietors we're notified by the bell-boy
who was sent up stairs or not. know
nothing as to when or by whom the alarm
was turned on. All l know is, that lOteI
Icape ont upon the street, about hd!fpGSt l
Thedrd The bells striking, and / can not Sd!
1Uhether that lOas the first or second alarm.
think the fire must have been fta discoverec
betweea fvs and ten minutes after l o'clock
I base this opinion on not only the cir
cumstances 1 have already detailed, bu
upon the statement of the boy who oper
ated the elevator. He told me that at
o'clock he closed the elevator, and afte
talking with friend for about five min
utes, he went to his room, which is les
than two blocks away. He had just be
gun to undress when he. heard the Ialarn
Of fire, and he at once ran over and assis
ted in fighting the flames in the base
ment." ,Ag.tr 81 s,5.f n

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS TO MIR.
TILDEN.

New York, April lS.-The following
letter is now made public for the first
time, as will be seen it was written on
the day of the Inauguration ofMr. Hayes;
BosToN, March 5, 1877.-Hon. 5. j. W-
den. New York-MY DEAR SIR: On this
day when you ought to have been Presi-
dent of the United States, | seize the
opportunity to bear my testimony to the
calm and dignifed manner in which you
have passed through his great trial. IL
is many years since ceased to be party
man, hence have endeaVored to judge
of public affairs and men rather by their
marit than by the name they take. 1t is
a source of qualification to me to think
that | made the right choices in the late
election. could never have been re-
conciled to the elevation by the smallest
aid of mine Of a person however respect
able in private life who must forever car.
nv upon his brow the stamp of fraud first
triumphant in American history. No
subsequent action however meritorlous
can wash away letters OF that record
Very respectfully yours
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

WHEN the freedmen were added to
the voting population Of the South, thir-
ty.four new congressional districts and a
proportionate representation in the cleo.
toral College, we're added to the share OF
that section. 1t will be well, therefore,
for the North to insist that if the negro
is not permitted to vote, the Southern
States shall not enjoy the increased rep,
resentation in Congress. lfthe electoral
vote of the South had been reduced in
proportion as the popular vote was sup
pressed, the question as to whether III
den or Hayes was elected President,
would have been settled very easily
Alliance Re0ie7O.
No one South proposes to distranchlse
the negro, at least no Democrat. Does
the PeVtev wish to deprive the colored
man of the right to vote? No doubt
those thirty four additional members OF
Congress are troublesome now. But
what do you propose to do about it

STEAMER BURNED AT SEA,

Mr.. SHERR1cK's House bill to author
ize the Commissioners of Stark county
to increase the levy for county fund was
read the third time and passed in the
Senate on the I4th, and of course became
a law. This, we understand, was ren'
dered necessary by large deficiency in
the county fund, owing mostly to the un'
usual expense of the courts during the
past wear. The criminal business has
not only been very large, butseveral ca
ses more than usually expensive, We
believe the act allows of an increase in
the levy of two tenths Of a mill only.
