The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-03-18

afternoon, just as the ST. Patrick's day
parade was passing the hotel, and in a
few minutes they had leaped to the roof
and enVeloped the entire Fifth avenue
and Forty-seventh street fronts of the
hotel. Ten minutes later the flames
were roaring in the interior of the hotel
and escape by means of stairways and
elevators was cut off. There was the
widest scenes of excitement within and
without the building. Hundreds of
guests and employees were in the hotel
when the fire broke out and for many
of them escape with safety was impos-
sible. Probably from 10 to Is lives were
lost within a half hour and 80 or 40 per-
sons were injured in jumping from win
dows and rushing through the roaring
| flames in the corridors and on the STAIR
ways. Many who were injured died
later in nearby residences and at hos
pitals and others who made wild leaps
to the stone sidewalk were so badly
| injured that they are still lowering be-
tween life and death. 1t may be "a
hours or more before the complete list
of fatalities becomes known, and it will
be longer than that before it can be as
certained definitely how many charred
bodies are in the mass of fallen mason
ry that marks the spot where the hotel
| stood.
