A few minutes after !. O'Clock this
morning fire was discovered in the
crockery room of the Columbia hotel.
The night clerk and several other
gentlemen who were sitting in the
Office heard a crash upstairs, presum
ably in the dining room, aud on
going to investigate olaze was
seen in the room behind the dining
room, and the alarm was given. In
few minutes the hall leading from
the writing rooms upstairs back to
wards the kitchen was filed with
smoke and little later the whole
house was densely enveloped in a
cloud of smoke The guests were
quickly awakened and ont they came
attired IN all imaginable specimens
of garments, carrying valises, hand
satchels and other things of value,
while many began to get their trunks
out and downstairs, but it was soon
seen that this was unnecessary as the
fire was quickly gotten unde: con-

a hose was taken up the back

kitchen is the first room upstairs on
the left and the room in which the
fire was blazing is next. 1t seems
that the fire did not start in the stove
room but in this adjoining room, the
roof and walls oe which were burned
considerably
The chief damage will be by water
and smoke. The water was thrown
il abundance as it was necessary to
extinguish any blaze that might be
hid in the roof and the water soaking
through to the first floor caused some
damage to the walls, floor and car
pets. The hotel was thoroughly
smoked up. but the effects Of this will
