Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-02-08

lSwas evident that the disorder at tending the classification of the bodfes and fleets at the recent Park Place dis, aster, was not to be repeated. The police took all the wearing apparel, jewelry and other effects of the guests as fast as recovered by the fremen from the ruins. They then separated the male from the female attire and effects and as far as possible classified them by lots.
 Seven bodies have been removed so far, only one, however, being identified, the others being SO horribly disfgured as tc make identification very uncertain, if not impossible.
 Took Matters COOlIy.
 Among the narrow escapes related ie that of Vim. c. Thompkins of &his city, who was transient. guest He was aroused by the cries of fire and finding escape impossible by the stairs, coolly packed his things together and lowered himself to the ground by means of the rope fire escape which he found in the room. When on the ground he gathered up his effects, which he had previously thrown out of the window, and went elsewhere to finish his sleep.
 Tine Hotel Royal.
 The Hotel Royal was built more than twenty-five years ago. It was formerly kept by Messrs. Paris Sc Buffer, but the present proprietor leased it thirteen years ago. In 1882 it was remodeled and the south adjoining building was added to it. It had 124 rooms. Many actors and transient patrons stopped there, but many families were permanent guests.
 The somewhat elaborate restaurant was literally patronized by the class which keeps late hours.
 The loss on the hotel and furniture is the property of Hyman Israel, furniture dealer.
 = MT. MeareS made a feature of serving frequenters of the French balls, when their annual revels were transferred from the old Academy to the Metropolitan Opera House. He had some, reputable guests, and some who hired rooms for the night only. A good many of the latter were couples who came late at night and left early the next morning, and of whom no questions were asked as rule. Their aliases makes the list of missing practically impossible to verify. The nature of the complications which are likely to arise was shown last night when 8 man and women called at the New York Hospital and identified the woman who was taken there with 8 frac- Cured skull ana Gh1gh. The injured woman's name, at the request of her identifiers, was withheld by the hospital authorities.
 A GrOteSque Crowd at the Gedney.
 The night clerk of the Gedney House was startled at about 3:30 by man rush. ing in and asking him and if he had thirty vacant rooms.
 "What do you want with thirty rooms fn asked the clerk "Why our guests at the Royal are burned out. They must have place to put up.''
 "All right" said the clerk, "We'll make room for them.'
 The man ran out and in few minutes there arrived at the Gedney probably the most grotesque party that ever struck that hostelry. There were men, women and one little child. Some in night clothes, and the others partly dressed, and all shivering with the cold and greatly excited.
 There was great ringing of bells and hustling of 'fronts,' and in few min utes the queer looking party had been as signed to rooms. Some of them " ere ir bad way. Their faces were cut and bleeding and number of the men and women limped through the corridor, and ! one woman had to be carried to the ele vator.
