FATAL HOTEL FIRE IN NEW YORK.
DEATHS OF SCORES OF GUESTS
RESULT.
Many Meet Their Fate by Fearful
Leaps.

One OF the most disastrous fires yet to be
recorded in the history of cOnilagratiOns oc.
,urred in New York early Sunday morning.
II involved a fearful loss of human life, aud
was attended by scenes aud circumstances
with few parallels in the annals Of horrors.
The Hotel Royal at Forticth street and
Sixth avenue, crowded with guests aud EN-
ployes, some $40 in number caught hire at
an early morning hour. The fire spread with
such frightful rapidity that within an hour
and half the whole interior became mass
Of seething, roaring flames, the walls col
lapsed and the structure tOpplcd 10 the
ground, mass of smoking cmOcrs.
Many lost their lives by jumFins from
third, fourth and fifth story windows; others
were suifocatcd by binding smoke, aud
many more were tortured 10 death by the
crimson tongues that Illuminated the faces
Of thousands who lined the streets and wit
messed the appalling holocaust. heartsck, but
powcrlcss TO save.
or this number ii is believed over 100 have
persisted. There were deeds OF heroism
performed by nameless heroes at the lire;
there were agOniZcd parents seeking for
children whose beds had been their
funeral pyresi husbands whose wive.
had been torn from their very
grasp by the cruel element, and scores Of
halfneked, fright-frenZiUd people who
escaped to the street, bruised, burhcl aud
with no other worldly possessions than the
scant apparel on their backs. So completely
did the fire accomplish its dreadful, work,
that many Of the victims will never be
known.
Before the walls fell every floor had given
away and plunged Its unhappy occupants
headlong down a whirlpool of flame To GER
tain incineratinn. The sidewalk fronting
the hotel on Sixth avenue AID FOrticth street
was strcwn with the blood and brains Of the
unhappy creatures who lclpCd to oblivion TO
escape the torture of the death behind. The
falling bodies struck the stones with .
crunching sound that sent a SCkening shiVcl
through the spectators and chilled the blood
OF men whose nerves had hardened in the
shock of battle and scenes OF fire and blood
The night robes Of some Of the wretchcs
who sprang from the windows we1e burn
Ing as they shot through the air.
The victims shrieks were echoed by a
mighty moan from the crowd that can
not be described. or at best can only be
likened to the distant murmur OF the
surf. Before the tiremcn reached the
scene, the windows were throngel With
people piteously imploring all, and even
as they stretched forth their arms in heart.
rcnding appeals, the flames snatched them
back, and one by one they either disappeared

Springs.

II is an almost universal notion that
a spring which issues from the earth
of its own accord, and which generally
looks crystal clear, must be pure; but,
though tho water has been filtered by
passing down through stratum of
earth, it must be remembered that
there are two hundred and fifty times
as much carbonic acid in the earth as
there is in the air, and that the water
becomes aerated with it, and that this
aids in dissolving various substances,
and consequently springs come to have
a great variety Of chemical constituents
in widely varying amounts. The strata
through which wafer passes deter
mines its purity or impurity, and the
same want of sanitary care that would
contaminate well, will Just as surely
pollutc a spring. Typhoid fever has
been directly traced to contaminated
springs. - Farm and Fircsidc.
