HOTEL IN RUINS.
The flames could not be checked and
in two hours from the time the fire
broke out the entire structure was in
ruins and the streets on three sides of
the building were filled with debris from
fallen walls and chimneys, while the
streams of water being poured upon
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 the bodies of those who
persisted.
The fire was the most spectacular
that could be imagined. When it broke
out Fifth avenue was crowded with
people watching the st. Patricks day
parade and every window in the front

stairway, commenced to pour out of
the building in great numbers, but it
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.
OR-STRICKEN GUESTS.
Windows were thrown up on every
side of the building, and guests, mostly
women, in all stages of terror, made
their appearance and uttered frantic
appeals for assistance to the crowd be-
