Bangor, Me. Jan. 21.-The Bangor
house. one of the oldest and best-known
hotels in New England, was badly dam
aged, Saturday afternoon, by fire and
water, and Narrowly escaped destruction
The fire was discovered At $40 =. NJ. in
the attic Of the main part of the hotel,
on the Main street side, and dense vol
umes of smoke pouring from the roof
frightened the guests of that wing Of the
hotel into the street.
The tremen had hard work getting into

3truction Of the building. ana the names
had acquired considerable Roadway when
he first water was put on.
A second ANA third alarms were sent in,
and nearly all the apparatus in the city
was called out Thousands of people
gathered in the streets, the alarm having
spread that the entire house was in
flames and many guests in danger of their
lives
No one was injured however, although
some of the women boarders were badly
frightened. The occupants of the main
part of the hotel made a hasty exit. with
their baggage ana what could be gath
cred up of their belongings. going 10 othcr
hotels and private residences.
The firemen Were handicapped by a
freezing gale and by insufficient water
pressure. but they managed to get con-
troll of the flames in two hours. and al
rs the about signal was sounded.
The roof on the Main street side was
practically burned off, the fifth floor bad
~ damaged. and that entire section Of the
hotel drenched with water from top to
bottom. rendering it uninhabitable.
Much Of the furniture in this section is
ruined, and the building itself thoroughly
soaked. The Office, bar, barber shop ele-
vator and billiard room are in the dam
aged sections.
The damage could not be accurately es-
timated. last night, as Capt. II. c. Chap

loss on building ana contents will not be
less than $l0.@0. possibly much more.

sustained losses which, in the aggregate,
will be considerable.
