department. A dozen or more were
more or less injured, and it is believed
by some of the guests and employees
Of the hotel that more lives were lost
and that when search is made in the
ruins several bodies will be found.
The property destroyed was the Ma
tional hotel, three-story structure,
and two cottages Immediately adjoin-
ing; the Kentucky livery stable and
the Windsor hotel. The fire originated
in the National hotek and before it
was discovered one entire side and the
top of the building was in flames and
the roof ready to collapse. The guests
were aroused by the intense heat. to
find the building falling in upon them
and the stairway leading to the first
floor, which was their only means of
escape from the second and third sto-
rles, burning fiercely. The sleeping
apartments were confined. exclusively
to the upper floors, and the guests
found themselves hemmed in in a veri-
table death trap, with no hope of es-
cape except by jumping from the win
dows. Mr.. Hughes jumped from the
third story to the sidewalk and died
IN few minutes. Mr.. Matthews at
tempted to reach the first floor by the
stairway, but was so badly burned that
he died Sunday morning at eight
o'clock after suffering great agony.
The charred remains of Mr.. Wills were
found in the smoking debris. The body
could not be identified, but it is said
that an examination of the hotel regis
ter showed that a guest by that name
is the only person not accounted for
in the National.
The shrieks of the imprisoned guests
pierced the hearts of those who were
aroused by the alarm. 1t was impossi-
BILE to rescue any of the imprisoned
persons, so rapid was the progress of
the fire. Those who escaped jumped
from the windows in their nj ht
clothes, barely getting out with their
lives, and one or two of these are Sc
verely injured and one is expected to
die. ~ statement from a man who
escaped from the building confirms
the belief that other lives were lost.
He said that there were two men,
strangers to him, occupying the room
he was in, and he believes they we're
burned to death. The furniture of the
Windsor hotel was all destroyed, but
SO far as known no lives were lost
there. Several men were overcome by
heat during the progress of the fire.
The financial loss will reach $5O,OOO,
with insurance of about $4,000.
