The Ias Vegas Hot snr;ro r;r.


LAS VEGAS, August 9th.-The fire at
Montezuma Hotel, Hot Springs, last night,
originated about 1l:30. in the lobby, on the
fourth floor, at an attic near the stairway
leading to the grand tower. The mercurial
alarm was sounded in the office, and the
guests were Immediately warned of danger
by sounding electric gongs in all the apart
ments of the house. There were about
seventy-ive rooms occupied. by guests, and
as the fire started above the occupied
rooms everybody escaped and nearly all
the personal effects of the guests were
saved. Immediately after a general alarm
had been sounded, the chief clerk and
three others of the house rushed to the
fourth floor and unreeled the fire hose at
tached to the various hydrants Some de-
lay was occasioned by inexperienced
hands in laying the lines, and in most in
stances the hose was too short to
reach the flames. Within very few
minutes the flames had burst through the
roof III several places, and all hope of saw
ing the magnificent building was aban-
doned. The volunteer department of Las
Vegas, six miles distant, was called by tele-
phone. a special train took Hose Com
pany No. l out in thirteen minutes. An
other train brought No. Company later
and some eight or ten lines were at work
The pressure was low, and the streams
barely reached the roof, where the flames
by this time We're raging for four hours.
The fire gradually worked its way to the
ground floor, making complete loss ofthe
house. The furniture on the ground floor
only was saved, The houseiess guests
were compelled to improyise lodgings on
the ground, and went into camp for the
night, while the firemen worked with relief
! forces until long after daylight. The stone
walls of the third story were saved from
utter destruction, remain standing, and
may possibly be utilized in rebuilding. The
loss is 100000; insurance, $3.50, O00-dis-

MES. The origin of the fire is attributed to
the wires Of the electric lighting system
becoming overheated and ieniting the

pom the suggestion of the Governor
there has been called a meeting at the
State Capitol to take the initial steps for
the erection in this city of monument to
the memory of General Grant. 1t is de-
manded by every sentiment of patriotism,
by the propriety of situation, and the char
acter Of the city as the eeatof Government
Of the State of California, that here shall
be erected 4 suitable memorial of the great
event of the day-the close of the life of
the greatest Captain of the nation since
Washington. 1t has been suggested that
the State may with perfect proprIety be
called upon to contribute TO the needed
fund So it may. but we should act with
that possibility kept out of view. 1t
should not be put forward TO weaken local
effort 1t is very doubtful indeed if the
State can be induced to contribute money
to erect a monument at the Capital. Leg
islatures are jealous of expenditure of
means at the Capital, and the sincerest an
peal that can be made is certain to be met
with selfish objections. The proper thing
to do is to go on with the work without any
hope Of State aid. II then we receive If.

THE ovERSHADOwING EVENT.

1t IS not possible that the present gen
Grafton can again be witness TO such patri-
otto manifestations as have filled the past
fortnight to overAowing On Saturday
these eliminated in mournful demoustra-
tions over the loss Of the foremost citizen
Of the land, which have not been paral-
leled in the history of nations. However
much Of pomp and ceremonial there may
have been upon the occasion Of the burial
OF other great men, not one other than
Grant has had millions of people TO ell
the place Of mourners. In no other case
has there been such sincerity Of woe All
that can be said now has been said of Gen.
Grant, his character and his achievements.
As these days re2ede from us the true pro-
portions Of his greatness and the true worth
of the man will augment in grandeur and
become clearer TO the patriotic vision. The
nation on Saturday honored Grant less
than it honored itself The tribute it paid
to him was laid upon a national altar,
sanctifying and repIenishing the fires of
patriotism, healing the wounds of war
and obiiterating the scars of contest
waged between men to forever settle the
issue Of human bondage and human free
dom. IN 1865 the arms of the Union. I'M
der Lincoln and Grant, triumphed, not
over portion of our people, but over the
dogma of mOnstrous error that denied to
men of certain condition the right of in
olvidual liberty. The nation has atoned
for the sin it committed in embracing that
error, and comes back from the grave of
The man who taught the world the true
nobility of magnauimity and the true
manliness of the warrior, more closely
than ever united, and its people drawn
more securely within the folds of constitu-
tional and representative government of
treemen by freemen, than ever.
Sacramento honored the day and
mourned the national loss in a manner be-
fitting her station and in keeping with the
lofty patriotism that inspires her citizens.
She has one more task to perform and that
Is to raise in the Capital fitting monu-
ment in honor Of the illustrious dead, to
be an enduring testimony to the loyalty,
devotion and great-heartedness Of this peo-
pie, and to bear witness to remote genera
tons that toward the savior of the Union
there IS entertained in the CanitaI citv the
iullness Of unspeakable gratitude.

from Destruction.

hoih btStTuctlOn.
MONTEREY, August 9th.-At 3:45 this
afternoon, as the passenger bus was re-
turning from the depot. q dense volume of
smoke and some flames were seen issuing
from the roof of the kitchen in the rear,
but attached to the main building of the
Hotel Del Monte. Had it not been for the
new water supply, the perfect discipline of
the hotel fire brigade, composed of en-
ployes and the well-directed management
of George Schonewald who has proved to
be not only a good hotel manager but a
IA, et-class fireman, the hotel would now
be a mass of ruins. AS it is, the
kitchen is completely Quilted. The town
fire company was on hand, but the three
inch hotel pipes proved sufficient. An
unusual scene was presented of ladies and
gentlemen in holiday toilet watching the
manager in evening dress on the roof, sur
rounded by smoke, fire and water, directing
the efforts of the fire company, composed
of employees, including walters dressed in
swallowtails and white ties. all drenched
with water and blackened by smoke, but
| working like old firemen. Too much credit
cannot be given to the manager and all the
employees. The hotel is almost full, but
there will be no inconvenience, as tempo
rary kitchen will be ready by morning.
