In Ruins Within Two Hours.
The flames could not be checked, and in
two hours from the time that the fire
broke out the entire structure was in
ruins, and the streets on three sides of
the building were filled with debris from
falling walls and tall chimneys, while the
streams of water being poured into the
interior of the ruins had no other effect
than to fill the air with clouds of scalding
steam, making It impossible for any one
TO approach near enough to search for
missing bodies.
The fire was the most spectacular that
could be imagined. When 1t broke out
Fifth avenue was crowded with people
watching the ST. Patrcks day parade,
which was passing the building at the
time, and every window in the front of
the hotel facing of the Fifth avenue was
filled with spectators watching the march
ing men and floats in the street.
An unusually large number of people
were on the streets and interfered not a
little with the movement of the fremen
and police.
In addition to regular guests of the hotel,
the windows were crowded by large
number of spectators, residents of this
city, who had congregated there TO wit
ness the parade.
Frantic Efforts TO Escape.
Soon after the first alarm was given peo-
ple in the lower floors of the hotel, those
who had easy accss to the street and stir
way. commenced to pour out of the build
ing in great numbers, but 1t very soon
became apparent that a great majority
of the occupants of the hotel were either
panic-stricken or unable to make their
way to the ground floor. Windows were
thrown up on every side of the building,
and guests. mostly women, made frantic
appeals for assistance to the crowd be-
low.
Finally some of them stood upon the 1
narrow window sills and beckoned to the
spectators that they we're about to leap
TO the streets. The men collected upon
the sidewalks ready to render any assist
ance they could. Some Of the women
dropped to the streets. In most cases the
efforts to catch them and break their fall
we're unavailing, and broken limbs were
the result.
AS soon as the fremen could get their
scaling ladders into position they climbed
the sides of the building and entered at
every window where there was an unfor-
tunate guest appealing for assistance, and
many cases of heroic rescue were witness
ed by the throng in the streets.
