nands despaIrlngly. He tnen swung
the woman clear Of the window and
landed her safely in the arms of his
companion, who, with the assistance
of several other flremen, passed the
woman down to the street.
Abner Mckinley, brother of Presi-
dent Mckinley, had four rooms on the
ground floor of the hotel. Mrs. Nc
Kinley and her daughters, Mabel and
Helen, occupied the rooms with Abner
Mckinley. Mrs. Mckinley and Miss
Helen were entertaining Mrs. John
Sherwood. the author. Both Mrs. Nc
Kinley and her daughter and her
guest got out, assisted by two un-
known men, but they do not know how.
The women became separated. Mrs.
Mckinley went to the residence Of Rev.
DR.. Morgan, at No. East Forty-fifth
street, and Miss Helen Mckinley to
the residence Of the banker. Richard
7. Wilson, at No. 511 Fifth avenue.
Miss Mabel was out for a drive.
The Mclkinleys went to the Manhattan
hotel where there was joyful re-
union of the family, Mr.. Abner Nc
Kinley having been telephoned for at
his Office at 80 Broad street. They
lost everything except the clothes they
wore.
The Origin of the Fire.
Regarding the origin of the fire The
Herald publishes the following: John
Foy, waiter of the hotel was pass
ing through the hall on the parlor
floor, the first above the street. He
was making his way to place where
he could catch moments sight of the
parade. In front of him walked man
patron of the hotel. At the angle OF
the passage near Fifth avenue and
Forty-sixth street the patron drew a
match and lighted a cigar Or cigarette
He tossed the match aside. 1t was still
blazing, and fell into the folds Of a lace
curtain. In an instant the flimsy fab
ric was ablaze, and instantly the flames
shot to- surrounding draperies. This,
from all the accounts, was the origin Of
the holocaust.
The loss on the contents of the
building is almost complete, and Is
estimated at 100000. The salvage
men managed to save 100000 worth
of paintings on the first floor of the
hotel. but very little else was carried
out. Many of the guests who lived at
the Windsor regularly lost valuable
jewelry and bric-a-brac and furnish
ings, among them being F. F. Flower,
a nephew of Ex-Governor Roswell P.
Flower, who, among other things, lost
a package of jewelry valued at $4,000.
The Windsor for many years was
one of the most exclusive hotels in the
city, and was in the height of its glory
up to ten years ago. 1t was the rem
devious of all the great Wall street
operators from the days of Commodore
Vanderbilt and Daniel Drew. Jay
Gould, who lived opposite, was there
nightly. President and Mrs. Mckinley
always stopped at the Windsor, and
celebrities of all kinds were its guests.
