 SYRACUSE, N. Y., Oct. 16.-At 3:10 this afternoon the superintendent of public works ordered the men engaged in ex- ploring the ruins to stop work, as all the missing had been accounted for. William T. Grover, acting manager for Cora Tan ner, was with the company, nearly all of whom were at the hotel He tells con- nected story of how nearly all escaped. The people occupied rooms on the third and fourth floors. MT. Grover said: ''Nearly, if not all, of the young ladies of Miss Tanners company had retired, but several of the gentlemen were still out when the fire broke out. I threw few of my clothes and personal effects into my valise, but lost them. was on the fourth floor. Among others on that floor was Ada Dwyer of the company. We met in the hall and started in the direction of the firemen's s voices, who were showing frantic men and women the way to the stairs. We got separated in the crowd in the halls where the scene was an awful one. The gas must have been put out by the dense smoke, for the halls were soon in total darkness. I did not see Miss Dwyer again until we met on the ground floor"
 GAS soon as Miss Tanner was aroused she rushed into the hall. The door of gen tleman's room near by was open and she rushed in with the shout "For Gods sake save mel" The gentleman was about to lower himself by the fire escape, but he stopped and adjusted the escape to Miss Tanner. He lowered her to the ground and then followed. Miss Tanner was not seriously injured, but the palms of her hands were cut and lacerated by holding so tightly to the rope. Miss Tanner saved her jewels and $500 in money and valua- bles, having grabbed them up hastily, thrust them into a jewel case and tied it about her neck"
 Miss Dupree and Miss Klein, both of the same company, had narrow escapes MT. Grover said: "They were on the fifth floor and would doubtless have perished had it not been for the courageous boy who ran the elevator. They groped around the hall till they heard a shout to come to the ele- vator. They followed the sound of the voice and found the car. They were taken down safely, although the flames shot into the elevator at nearly every floor. Miss Tanner was taken to the Vanderbilt house and attended in the ladies' parlor."
 MISSED THE NET AND KILLED.
 One of the most frightful incidents of the fire was the death of a woman who jumped from the fifth story of the build ing. Several policemen stood on the side walk holding nets to catch the guests as they jumped. Two persons, man and a woman, jumped into one of the nets almost at the same moment and escaped with broken limbs. The next to jump was 8 woman who appeared in window on the fifth story in her night clothes. She leaped out of the window and missing the net was dashed to pieces on the sidewalk.
 One of the firemen told this story of the woman who was killed by jumping: "When we first came we were hampered by telegraph wires on West Fayette street. In trying to taise the ladder it became en- tangled in the wires. woman stood in the window crying for help. The flames were leaping out towards her and she was l frantic with fright I went up the ladder to cut the wires. While was doing this | she jumped, thinking that we could not l reach her and the awful result was that | she missed the net and was killed"
 | A remarkable coincidence is the fact that to-day meeting of the insurance ad- | justers of this state was to have taken | place at the hotel. The proprietors are l Warren J. Leland and Van Buren Leland, who are also the proprietors of and are in terested in various other large hotels in different cities of the United States. l THE DEAD AND MISSING
