FIRE L ELEVEN

During a Bitterly Gold Night Lodgers
Flee For Their Lives.

ST. Louis, Feb. 10-An early morning
fire. which destroyed the Empire hotel,
a large three-story hotel and lodging
house at 200 and 2TO2 Olive street.

the death of eleven persons, ten men
and one woman, ard dangerously in
jured eight others.
A dozen or more who had narrow es-
capes from Heath received less serious
injuries or were frost bitten. 1t Is es-
timated that there were between thir-
ty-five and forty persons in the build
ing last night, n IT is believed all
have been accounted for.
The financial loss is nominal. 1t is
thought that 100000 will owe the
damage to building and contents,
which were totally destroyed.
About ten or twelve others less seri-
ously injured. being bruised, burned or
suff ering from exposure.
The fire started about $3.50 n. m,
when few persons We're abroad, and
gained much Roadway before 1t was
discovered and the alarm given. There
vas considerable delay in turning In
an alarm. and when the engines fin
ally reached the scene the whole front
of the building was in flames, and the
interior was a seething furnace. By
that time all who escaped death had
gotten u of the building by jump
ing from the windows or climbing
down ropes made of bedclothes. A few
escaped from the ground loo through
the front door. Some Of the escapes
were very narrow.
Almost everybody who got out suf'
fered some injury or was f~rOst-bitten.
The guests barely had time to get out
when aroused. the flames had spread
so rapidly. Some saved their clothing,
which they carried in their hands, but
others were not so fortunate. losing ev'

houses were opened to the unfortun.

fully on either side, and as many as
possible shaking his hands. Having
finally reached the train, he assembled
the ear platform. and, facing about to
the throng which had closed around
him. drew himself up to his full
height, removed his hat. and stood for
several econds in profound silence.
His y roved sadly over that sea of
upturned faces, and he thought he read
in them again the sympathy and
friendship which he had often tried,
and which he never needed more than
he did then. There was an unusual
culver in his lip. and a still more I'M
usual tear on his shriveled cheek. His
solemn manner, his long silence, were

which had lifted him from the lowest
to the highest estate on earth? OF the
weary road which had brought him to
this lofty summit? OF his poor mother
lying beneath the tangled underbrush
In a distant forest? OF that other
grave in the quiet Concord cemetery?
Whatever the particular character of
his thoughts. 1t is evident that they
were retrospective and painful. To
those VINO were a~nxiously waiting to
catch words upon which the fate OF
the nation might hang, it seemed long
until he had mastered his feelings suf-
iciently to speak. At length he began
in a husky one of voice, and slowly
and impressively delivered his farewell
to his neighbors. Initiating his exam
pie, every man in the crowd stood with
his head uncovered in the fast-falling
rain.

In 1855. in the court at Blooming

of no great importance; but the at
torney on the other side, Mr.. $. a

The case lasted until late at night.
