arayling House Fire.

About o'clock Tuesday. our village
was startled by the cry of fire, which
was taken up by the steam whistles
and in few minutes the entire popu-
lation were rushing toward the Gray
ling House which was pouring out
vast columns of smoke, the flames be-
ing yet confin ed to the interior. The
cause of the fire cannot be definitely
ascertained, but was probably FROM a
defective chimney. Having no organ
ization. some little time was lost in get
ting in effectual work, but by almost
herculean efforts the fire was confined
TO the hotel and finally extinguished
with part of the structure yet standing.
For time it seemed that the entire
business part of the village must in
evitably be consumed and parties up
the street prepared for a hasty remov-
al. Everything was taken from the
land Office, and removed TO safe place
SO that no lpss occurred except the
trouble of replacing the books aud
property. Much of the furniture was
removed from the hotel though in a
damaged condition and the loss to Mr..
Phelps is about 100000, with no in
surance. besides having his business
destroyed which he had just got
thoroughly established.
The building yet belonged to NJ. s.
Hartwick. The transfer to Mr.. Phelps
being incomplete. Loss 100000 in
sured for 81, 700, CO. This is the third
hotel destroyed on the same ground,
all owned by Mr.. Hartwick, who, it is
reported, says, "three times and out, Z"
that he will not rebuild.
IL is big loss to the village as well as
Phelps and Hartwick, as the reputa-
tion of the house was second to none
in Michigan and the hotel accomnlo-
dations of the village were crowded.
Everything in the village was dry as
finder and more than n hundred in
cipient fires from the flying cinders
were extingulshed by the watching
people. A sharp shower at noon was
gladly welcomed.
Nothing but the Holly watsr-works
put in through the enterprise of Sal
ling, Hanson e. Co. saved the town
and we urge again that our citizens ex-
tend the same by putting in hydrants,
procuring hose and ladders, AMI or
ganizing fire company.
