FLAMES CONVERTED A COUNTRY
HOTEL INTO \ DEATH TRAP.
Seven Lives Were Lost in an Early Morning Fire
at the TIcGonigal House in Oswayo,
Potter County.

OswAYo, Pa, Nov. 18.-Seven men
were burned to death in a fire which
destroyed the NIcGonigal House, a three
story frame building, the hotel barn
and the Opera House, at o'clock this
morning. The three buildings were
burned to the ground in half an hour
from the time the fire started The
dead are:
ARTHUR FLETCHER, bookkeeper
for Penn Stave Company; home in
Boston.
MICHAEL RUSSELL, employe Of
Penn Tanning Company, Oswayo.
WILLIAM MULHANY, of Rexford,
N. Y.
HUGH METCHAM, of Alfred, N. Y.
BEECHER, travelling man.
Two others, unknown and unrecog-
nizable.
Oswayo is a village of about 1 200 in
habitants, located in Potter county,
Pennsylvania, upon the line of the
New York and Pennsylvania railroad.
1t is in the natural gas belt. For sew
eral days the gas pressure was SO great
as to cause considerable apprehension
as to its safety for use. Complaints
were made to the Potter Gas Company,
which controls the supply in this vi
cinity, and on Saturday J. j. DAILY,
superintendent of the lines, arrived to
make an investigation. He made a
partial investigation and claimed that
he found everything all right and the
regulator in good working order.
THEIR ESCAPE CUT OFF.
This morning the residents were
aroused by the fierce roaring of gas in
their homes and when they went to
turn off the pressure they were aston
ished to find the whole town lighted by
a lurid glare. Prompt examination
proved that the McGonigal House and
adjoining buildings were in flames. In
few minutes the town was aroused
and all rushed to the scene of the con-
fiagration. The town has no fire de-
partment, the only protection being a
pump at the tannery.
In the hotel there were 80 guests. 1t
was flimsy structure, and from what
can be learned of the fire it had its
origin from an over-heated stove caus-
ed by the excessive gas pressure. The
flames licked up the hotel building as
if it were tinder. The guests were
awakened by the heat and cries of
alarm of the citizens There were
many narrow escapes, most of the oc-
cupants jumping from their windows.
1t is supposed that the seven victims
were cut off from escape soon after the
fire started. Nothing remains of those
caught in the building but few char
red bones. One man had his leg brok-
en- in jumping from window. Otto
Kauley, gas line inspector, of Coud-
ersport, Pa, was burned about the face
and arms. Jerry Daily sustained a
broken shoulder by jumping from the
third story. Others were burned about
the face and body in their perilous leap
through the flames.
At nearly every drawn window faces
of the victims could be seen. In one
window figure was plainly seen, his

hands raised in supplication. An in
stant later he was precipitated into the
flames by a falling beam. A chamber
maid, clad only in her night clothes,
leaped from an upper story window
and landed in a tree. She was unin-
iured.
EXPERIENCE OF ONE OF THE SAVED.
Arthur Fletcher was seen standing
at window on the first floor. He was
clad in his night gown and called loud
ly for help. Overcome by the gas he
fell back. Jerry Daily told of his expe-
rience later in the day.
81 was awakened" he said, 'by fall
ing plaster in my room. The heat was
intense. Above me / could see the
flames. Below me | could hear the
crackle and the sound of falling tim
bers. With difficulty l made my way
to the door. AS opened it the flames
licked my face and hands. The heat
on the soles of my bare feet was in
tense, and with groan of anguish I
fell back to await deaths coming.
"Then | heard Hugh Metcham COM
ing down the hall. He saw me through
the smoke and called to me, Come
this wayp | put my scorched hands
up to my face and followed. Painfully
we worked our way through smoke
and flame for about 20 feet. Suddenly
the floor gave way and Metcham dis
appeared with it. / looked down and
saw his form twisting and writhing in
the heat. Just one step more and |
would have followed him to death.
But did not lose my head My night
clothes were on fire. / tore them off.
my hair had been entirely burned off
My head. Spurred on for final effort
by my awful surroundings, l reached
window and leaped to the ground"
1t is believed the fire originated in
the room occupied by Fletcher, where
there was small gas stove, as it was
in that vicinity that it was first discov-
cred. The gas escaping from this stove,
and probably from other burners, fore
ed out by the high pressure, soon per-
colated throughout the house and
became ignited, thus shutting off all
means of escape.
Thousands ofpeople viewed the ruins
and remains of the unfortunate to-day
from the surrounding country and
towns along the line of the New York
& Pennsylvania railroad.
UNABLE TO RENDER AID.
Superintendent John Good of the
Pennsylvania Tanning Company, was
the first man who realized the extent of
the terrible catastrophe. His residence
is across the street from the hotel prop
erty. He rushed down stairs and out
into the street sounding alarm as he
went. Going to the various mills in
the town he pulled the whistles wide
open.
The scene was grotesque; the flames
enveloped the Hotel, and the agoniz-
ing screams could be heard from the
inmates, while the onlookers stood
powerless to render the assistance for
which they pleaded, although every
available effort was made to save life.
