rArA1 FIRE IN a HOTEL.
Stanley I.osiie Psrtshes In . watts Attesspt -
save Wta wife.

Stanley Loslie. 80 years old, and Annie, his
wife, lost their lives In q fire in Thomas Rob-
ert's hotel at 3A9 West street yesterday after
noon. When the FIRE started in tho kitchen at
o quarter to 4 O'Clock Leslie was in tho barroom
on the other side Of the hall. He was a waiter
and barkeeper by trade, who had becn lodging
at the hotel, where he used to be employed,
since his discharge from o hospital nvc weeks
ago. His wife, who was q nurse and had been
employed recently by q woman In Washington
street, was In their room upstairs preparing to
60 out for her nights work.
Leslie had taken her q glass Of whiskey and
ginger ale shortly before, and when the fire was
discovered he Immediately ran upstairs to
help her out. Their room, No. 8, was in tho
centre Of the south side Of the house and its
door was right ut the head of the stairs. As
neither appeared, Richard Candy Of 81 Morton
street started up shortly after to see what was
the matter. Before reaching the head Of tho
stairs he was driven back by the smoke. Ac-
companied by Policeman schnitger Of tho
Charles street station he made o second attempt.
They reached the door to room 8, but could not
find the Leslies. The policeman was overcome
by the smoke, and Candy dragged him to the
head of the stairs, down which they both fell.
Candy then went to the lumber yard at the
rear Of tho house and broke a window In room
8, but could not enter 1t for the smoke.
Meantime engines had arrived and by half
past 8 o'clock Hremen were able to enter tho
building. Leslie and his wife were found dead
in room z in tho northeast corner Of the build
ing. Leslie was badly burned on the face. His
wife seemed to have fallen q victim to smoke.
Evidently they had either missed the stairway
in the smoke or had attempted to roach a WIN
dow at the rear and failed. Tho bodies were
removed to the Morgue.
From room 0. at the northwest corner Of tho
building, was rescued a trunk, charred, but not
burned through, in which were $4,000 belonging
TO David Nelson. the occupant Of the room. who
is a travelling horse dealer. The baggage of
the other guests Of the hotel was a total loss.
The:.total damage by the fire is placed at
Sl5. 900 by the police.
