DESTRUCTION OF A HOTEL IN CHICAGO.

INSURANCE PATRoLMEN KILLED-NARRoW ESCAPE
OF THE GUESTS.
CHICAGO, March 21.-Fourteen fre-engines at
8 p. m. poured water into the Langham Hotel,
which was mass of flame from basement to garret.
At the time tho restaurant Of the house
contained 100 guests at supper. and as many more
were in the rooms. The people in the restaurant
had no trouble in getting out. but several persons
in upper rooms had narrow escape. The flames
spread with rapidity, and before second alarm
was given the roof was ON fire. A general alarm
was given half an hour after the fire broke out,
but all the engines which could be brought to play
on the flames could not subdue them until the
building was destroyed.
Mrs. Belknap, an elderly woman, was killed by
Jumping from the fourth story INTO an alley. Sub

men were inside the building. A portion of the
south wall was seen to totter and thep II came
down with crash.
When the wall fell two Of the patrolmen inside
escaped. but the Others failed to appear from the
ruins. After great labor the iremen succeeded IN
reaching and rescuing two of the patrolmen who
were pinned fast under the bricks and tim6ers.
These were Captain Shepherd and ID. Mullen They
badly bruised about the legs, but were other
wise unnjured. Patrolmen A. Jones and John
Walsh 1T is supposed were suffycated or buried be-
meath the tons OF debris which fell.
Captain Shepherd of the fire insurance patro, made
light of his injuries, which in the shape OF badly

There was no more active nor braver man about
