TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST.
SHENANDOAH, Pa, Nov. IA fire in the
United States hotel, large three story
frame structure, corner of Main and Gen.
tire streets. The wind was blowing a hur-
ricane at the time and continued during
the afternoon, but the building was soon
enveloped in flames, which communicated
to the adjoining buildings north of Centre
street. The flames then communicated
with the block on the opposite side of the
street. At 8 o'clock sixteen street fronts
were destroyed, including the United
States hotel, Odd Fellows hall, Academy of
Music, Herald Office Row and Opera
house, Mining Herald and Saturday
Erening Ne,cs Offices. Assist
ance was telegraphed for from
which it was responded to from Pottsville,
Ashland, Guardville, Tamaqua, Mahony
City and other places. Over two hundred
and fifty families are homeless having lost
everything. The loss is estimated at
$75O,OeO to $1,0OO,O0O. It is impossible
to give the amount of insurance, but it is
supposed to be large. But few. serious
accidents happened. A young man,
George Henton, on his way home attempt
ed to jump on passenger engine and mad
both legs taken off. He will die. A
special meeting of the council and citi-
zens was held this evening. The follow
ing appeal to the public is drawn up. A
terrible holocaust has swept the town:
two hundred and fifty families
are homeless tonight and most of them
lost their all and are without provisions CT
change of clothing. The weather is bit
ter cold and a strong northwest gale is
still blowing. Everything possible for
their immediate relief is bsing done, but
we must haye.help who will aid US and give
at once. A relief committee with John
Gathers, treasurer, has been appointed
and receive all contributions, supplies,
clothing or money generous public may
be charitable enough to send. Signed:
