 Eight hundred guests of the Long Beach Hotel. one of the largest sea- shore hotels on the Atlantic coast. had to flee for their lives early when the hotel was burned to the sands. There was no loss of life and so far as can be learned no one was injured. The guests lost almost all their clothing and personal effects. The fire was dis covered on the first floor shortly after o'clock. Hall boys and clerks hur- ried 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 cloth ing and escape. They fled to the beaches and were taken care of by the cottagers. The hotel burned like finder and within a short time was a smoldering mass. It was three stories high and nearly 500 feet in length and when filled to its capacity houses HOO persons. Loss about S200.000.
 The frightened guests huddied to- gether in groups along the beach. watching the flames destroy the ho- tel.
 Sparks from the fire set ablaxe the cottages of A. B. Chapman and three others and these, too. were destroyed. Only a few of the hoteI guests saved anything but the scanty apparel in which they escaped.
 The hotel burned So rapidly that the employees had no time to save any of the furniture or contents.
 One or two persons were reported to have been hurt. The first train which left here today carried most of the guests to New York city.
