PROGRESS OF THE FIRE.

Courageous Work of Mrs. BarricIk,
the HOusekeeper-Escape of Guests.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Mrs. Barrick, the
housekeeper, was standing in the room of
the Century Club. There came to her an
odor of burning wood, and she rushed out
into the hall. The hall OF the south wing
she found filled with smoke. Fearful of
causing u panic. a thing which all hotel
people dread, she sent word to the clerks
desk for assistance. adding that it was not
necessary to alarm the house until the ex-
tent of the fire was learned. She also called
two paper hanger who were at work dec
Grating the new quarters of the Press Club.
The smoke seemed to come from Room a54.
A knock at the door failed to bring forth
a reply. At Mrs. Barrick's direction the
door was forced open. Richard Thomas, of
Columbus. Ind, the occupant, was fast
asleep on a lounge. Already a small blaze
could be seen creeping around the bottom
of the partition dividing the room from
the one adjoining. An alarm of fire was i'm
mediately sent in, and 1t was but a few
seconds until the first of the fire depart
ment arrived. In the searchers
continued breaking in the doors. Room 352,
occupied by W.. Fl. Bromley. was entered,
and much the same condition was found.
1t appeared as If the fire had been burn
ing for some time unnoticed beneath the
floors. On the same floor were ]. A. Bar
nard, of the p. &c L. Railroad Company,
and John l.. sullivan, the ex-pugilist. now
playing an engagement at the Empire The
alter. The ex-ch9mpion rushed out partially
dressed, with his baggage and overcoat I'M
der his arms. Russell Seeds, secretary of

The second annual meeting of the In
dustrial Union was held yesterday after
noon at the Propylaeum. All OF the off,
GERS and q number OF the Members and

Hodges, the president. called for the min
ntes OF the last meeting, which Mrs. Hol-
man, the secretary, read. The secretary
then read her W report. The union is
now more than an experiment and the
proved itself a success. The lunch room
and the bread and cakes were especially
commended. The quality OF articles has
steadily improved till the lunch, bread and
cakes are considered perfect homemade
productions. The work OF the union has
been entirely local. so that there was no
work for the corresponding secretary, Mrs.
G. III. Comstock. to report. The treasury
of an organization always has interest for
the members, and the fact that there is O
fair balance on hand shows the financial
success OF the enterprise. Mrs. c. +.
Sayles, the treasurer, reported balance Jan.

balance and $1,000 from the lunch room,

ing a balance or $500. Mrs. Hodges read
an, interesting report of the work of the
Industrial Union, briefly reviewing the be-
ginning, two years ago. There have been
signors in filing orders and the work of
the union has been smooth and we'll per-

Scene i'm Wabash Street.

Wabash street, near Pennsylvania street,
looked like a narrow pass between two ice
bergs last night. The side of the buildings
on either side was coated with ice. The ice
in the street was fully a foot thick. TIL
wires hung like great ice cables. In the
middle of the street stood the extension
ladder, which was one glare of ice. TIL
moon shone down on the scene, making it
all the more picturesque. A thawing ma
chine such as is used to thaw out frozen
fire plugs was at work trying to loosen
the ladder, but it was late before the work
was accomplished. Even then the truck
was so heavy with ice that it could not be

A second blaze started.

1t was a policeman who discovered a sec
ond fire burning in a cupola after the main
fire was under control. From all appear
ances the FIRE in the cupola was incendiary.
for it could not have originated from the
fire in the south wing. It was necessary TO
break q door in order to reach the fire in
the cupola. Manager Cullen is at a loss to
understand how il started there. but many
take it that it explains the origin of the
fire in the wing, for 1t shows that some one
desired to see more damage done.

Elevator boys story.

Mott Emmons, the elevator boy at the
hotel, had a hard time of it during the ex-
citement of the fire. Everybody on the top
floors made a wild break for the elevator.
He took down several carloads of guests.
who In a short time returned, as soon as
they learned that the fire was not as bad
as they thought. Then these same people
began to bring down their property and
Emmons was fairly swamped with freight.
Last night his face was scratched and
bruised and he wore an ugly bump on the
forenand. He said dresses, carpets and fur
had such a load that he could scarcely move
the lever.
"Ws 1t a minute" cried an excited woman.
Il can't haul any more replied EmIlons.
Yes you can" replied the woman, as she
threw a great armful of dresses in the car,
completely burying him.

Frank Notter and Patrick Ryan
Caught by u Falling Cornice.
The only accident of the fire was the one
caused by a large section of cornice falling
on the Wabash-street side. The crowd saw
the cornice falling, and drew back with hor-
ror. Several loose bricks came down With
1t, and it was thought that a section or the
wall was tumbling over.
For Gods sake, look out" cried at least
a half dozen men in the crowd to the dozen
or more of fremen who were carrying lines
of hose UP the icy rungs of the ladder and
fire escape.
The cornice made a terrible noise as it
came down, and the crowd saw two firemen
come down, stricken from their positions by
the falling cornice. Frank hotter and Pat
rick Ryan were the unfortunate men, and
both were picked up unconscious. Notter
was wounded in the head, from which he
bled profusely. His fellow firemen carried
him to Haag's drug store. Mr.. Haag evis
his own, for he refused to allow the in
jured men to be taken into the store. A

and both Notter ana RYAN were removed
there. Their injuries were dressed by Dr;

refusing to receive the injured men, and one
