ductiOn have been released at the re-
quest of the family. The authorities
wash their hands of the sensation by
announcing their readiness at any

dence of her uncle in Pine street by

and another Waterman rung for the
fire men. In five minutes Pine street
was blockaded, and guests and en-
ployes came pouring out of the hotel by
every doorway. Two male servants
leaped from window to the roof of
the cook-house and thence into the
alley, while fifteen chambermaids
rushed shrieking down the stairway
into the rotunda. One guest and his
wife were actually forced from their
room into the corr dor by an employe OF
the hotel. The shivering crowd was
