set the place on fire.
In spite of the efforts of a full corps Of fire.
men called out on a third alarm the south
western corner of the Astor House caught fire,
and for time it looked as though the cele-
brated house would have to go. volunteer
fife brigade, composed of attaches of the
house, was quickly mustered and the slight
alarm felt among the $50 guests was quickly
subdued, and the fire apparatus Of the hotel
put IN action with splendid results.
While the fire department fought the flames
from the outside the volunteers protected the
hotel for nearly an hour from within. The
flames from the adjoining building finally found
a logging just under the roof over Room 3Ol
and soon the cry went up from the 5000 con-

A hole was cut IN the roof and four streams
directed upon the flames which, together with
the efforts of the volunteers from within, soon
put away all danger TO the house.
