MANY LIVES LOST
IN NEW YORK FIRE
Continued from First Page.)

one Of the largest seashore hotels on the
Atlantic coast. had to fee for their lives
early today when the hotel was burned to
the sands. There was no loss OF life ana,
so far as can be learned. no one was in
tured. The guests lost almost all their
clothing and personal effects. The fire was
discovered on the first floor shortly after 5
O'Clock. Hall boys and clerks hurried
through the smoky corridors and reused
the sleeping guests The flames spread so
rapidly In the great wooden structure that
the guests had barely time to seize some
scanty clothing and escape. They fed to
the beach and we're taken care Of by the
cottagers.
The hotel burned like finder and within
q short time was a smoldering mass OF
ruins. 1t was three stories high and nearly
six hundred feet In length. and when filed
to its capacity housed ]. 100 persona. The
loss is about $2OOOO0
The frightened guests huddled together in
groups along the beach watching the flames
destroy the hotel Sparks from the fire
set ablaze the cottages OF A. B. Chapman
and three others. and these, too. were de-
stroyed. Only few of the hotel guests
saved anything but the scanty apparel in
which they escaped.
The hotel burned 50 rapidly that the en-
ployes had no time to save any of the fur
niture or contents. One two persons
were reported to have been hurt. The first
train which left here shortly after O'Clock
today carried most of the guests to New
York city.
