THE FIRE FIEND.
A BLOCK OF FRAME BUILDINGS
BURNED AT SEATTLE.
Narrow Escape of the Inmates-Five
Lives Thought to Have Been Lost.
Several Big Fires at the East.

SEATTLE, Wash, May pa block Of
frame buildings, bounded by King,
Commercial and Weller streets, was
destroyed by fire early this morning
Nine lodging-houses and cheap hotels
were burned, and 200 of their 300 in
mates barely escaped with their lives.
1t is supposed five persons perished.
The scene was indescribable. Men,
women and children jumped from third
story windows into blankets. Nearly
one hundred unfortunates were running
about the streets with nothing but
night garments on.
Nearly all the buildings des stroyed
were lodging houses. The people rushed
from the rooms to find the hallway filled
with smoke and flames. Men, women
and children jumped from the third
and fourth-story windows, and were
caught in blankets held below. Over
fifty persons were saved in this manner,
and not one was hurt. Over 200 were
driven out of their rooms without a
stitch OF clothing save what they
had on. Several men were penned
in rooms which furnished no egress
by means of windows, and were horribly
bnrned in rushing through the burning
railways. Several men and one woman
were seen at a window of the Pioneer
house when it was nearly wholly en-
veloped in flames, and it is feared that
one or more lives were lost, although no
one has been missed or bodies recov-
cred. The underwriters estimate the
total loss at $40, 900; insurance $4,000.
1t is supposed that the fire was caused
by the overturning OF lamp.

For instance, in the higher sections Of the city

that locality as much water possible. Fully
