JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 6.-There is
strong movement on foot in favor OF
applying the torch to the wrecked
buildings in Johnstown, and although
the suggestion meets with strong oppo-
sition at this time, there is little doubt
the ultimate solution of existing diff
culties will be by this method. An
army of men have been for two days
employed in clearing up the wreck in
the city proper, and, although hundreds
of bodies have been discovered. not one
fifth the ground has yet been gone over.
An many places the rubbish is piled
twenty or thirty feet high and not in
frequently these great drifts cover an
area of nearly an acre. Narrow pas
sages have been cut through in every
direction, but the herculean labor
of removing the rubbish has yet
hardly begun. At meeting OF
the central relief committee this
afternoon, Gen. Hastings suggested -he
advisability of drawing Gordon around
the few houses that are not in ruins.
and applying the torch to the remaining
great sea of waste. He explained
briefly the great work yet to be accom-
plished, if it were hoped to thoroughly
overhaul every portion OF the debris,
and insisted that 1t would take 10000
men months to complete the task. OF the
hundreds of bodies buried beneath the
rubbish, sand and stones, the skeleton
could be hoped to be recovered. A mo-
tion was made that, after forty-eight
hours further search, the debris OF the
city be consumed by fire, the
engines to be on hand to play
upon any valuable building that,
despite previous precautions, might be-
come ignited by the general confiagra-
ton. This motion was debated for
nearly half an hour. Those whose rela-
tives or friends still rest beneath the
wreck demonstrate strongly against any
such summary action. They insisted
that all the talk of threatened epidemic
was only the sensational gossip OF fer
tile brains, and that the search for the
bodies should only be abandoned as a
last extremity. The physicians in at
tendance warned the committee that
the further exposure of putrid bodies
result = the typhus or some other
epidemic equally fatal to its vic
tins. 1t was question of
whether the living should be sacri-
feed to the dead; of whether the sway
of sentiment or the mandate of science
should be the ruling impulse. Al
though the proposition to burn the
wreck was defeated, it was evident that
the movement was gaining many ad
herents, and the result will doubtless
be that in few days the torch will be
applied, not only to the acres of waste
in Johnstown,. but also to the avalanche
of debris that chOkes the stream above
the Pennsylvania bridge.

destroyed or when OF where the flames
will stop. Engines and firemen have
arrived from Tacoma to aid in checking
the flames. Help had been telegraphed
for from Victoria, B. c.. but it
could hardly arrive in time to
be Of any assistance to the burn
ing city. The following brief particu-
lars of the fire that is raging at Seattle
were received here in disconnected
form before the wires west were
down. The wind was blowing quite
strongly at the time the fire started,
and when the fire department arrived
the Pontus building was a roaring mass
of flames. The firemen worked with a
will, but were wholly unable to cope
with the fire. The flames rose high in
the air. and sparks were carried for
ward by the high winds and spread
broadcast over that part of the city
lying south, which contains many in
fammable buildings. Within an hour
the Opera and Coleman blocks, as well
as the Denny block were in flames. The
Denny and Coleman blocks were filled
with inflammable material and burned
fiercely. The heat was so intense that
the firemen were hardly able to ap-
proach the burning buildings. Unless
the wind dies down nothing can save
that part of the city lying to the
south. The firemen are becoming dis
couraged as they see the fire is spread
ing wholly beyond their control. The
people in the south part of the city are
moving out and the streets are crowded,
as vehicles of every description have
been pressed into service. 1t is thought
the loss at present will be at least
s5.OOO,00O. The Western Union have
lost all their wires to Seattle. The
latest dispatch received here was that
the telegraph Office had taken fire and
the operators were obliged to abandon
it. 1t is hoped temporary wires will be
secured tonight.

CCEsSFULLY OPENED.
Formal Opening of the Arlington
Hotel at Brainerd.

Special to the Globe.
BRAINERD, June 6.-Without any
doubt the most brilliant hotel event
witnessed west of the Twin Cities was
the formal opening tonight of the Ar
lington under the auspices of R. r..
Wise, proprietor so widely known,
especially to the commercial public.
The hotel throughout was made as
beautiful as the artistic use of FLOWERS,
bunting and festoons could make it.
The flowers were especially fine and
including jassamines from Florida and
roses from Puget sound, and these be-
decked the groaning tables in profu-
sion. Guests assembled at 10 o'clock
under the strain of the Third Regiment
band from the upper balcony, and the
banquet opened with speech by Presi-
dent SpauIding, of the city council, who
expressed Brainerd's qualification at
: Mr.. Wise's enterprise, and later served
most happily as toastmaster. The
menu was magnificent, covering the
whole range of eatables and drinkables,
and the succeeding toasts even as
happily served. Later the merry dance
went on at the armory well into the
customary very small hours. The event
is one long to be remembered, and was
a magnificent success in all respects.

WIIL1AMsPoRT, Pa, June 6.-Word

HOTEL BURNED.
Three Persons Burned to Death In
a Hotel at Stevens Point.


STEVENS POINT, Wis.,, June 6.-The
St. James hotel, near the Wisconsin
Central depot, caught fire shortly after
o'clock last evening and was totally
destroyed, with all it's contents. The
night clerk, Charles Oatball. and one
of the girls, Maggie Reilly, and
one known as Nettie, are missing
and there is little doubt that all
three lost their lives. The two first
named were on the second floor when
the fire started and came down stairs to
secure their wearing apparel. All who
escaped saved nothing but what they
had on their persons. The station and
adjacent buildings to the hotel were
saved with hard work. A number of
travelling men lost their baggage and
samples. The loss is $4,000, with an
insurance of $4,000.
