THREE KILLED IN FIRE
Intoxicated Man Starts Blaze With
Fatal Results.

Fatal Results.
The Seneca Falls hotel, an old land
mark at Seneca Falls, N. Y,
was destroyed by fire three OF
the twenty-five guests losing their
lives. The fact that the fire was dis
covered before it had maintained
headway and the giving of an alarm
by a fusilhde of revolver shots that
promptly awakened the guests alone
prevented great loss of life.
The dead are: Mr.. end Mrs. Edward
White OF Rochester and an unidenti-
fed man from Cayuga, N. Y. The lat
ter is supposed to have caused the
fire. He entered the hotel late at
night intoxicated and unable to reg
ister. He was assigned to a room in
the basement and here at 3:4O the
FIRE was discovered. Rescuers could
not reach him and the fire raced
through the building so rapidly that
all of the occupants had to take to
fire escapes.
White was overcome by smoke be.
fore he could leave the room and the
woman evidently tried TO assist him,
dragging the body short distance,
then she gave up and succeeded in
reaching the street only to lose herself
in side hail where she was overcome
and was found dead by firemen.
The total loss is estimated at $115,-
900. The guests lost all of their
clothing and baggage.

trunk was brought up from the bot
tom of the lake by fishermen. Shak-
ing with nervousness while he waited
for his baggage to be examined on
the pier, he was in bad condition to
disarm suspicion. He made futile
fight to conceal his identity from,
Captain Henry Harrison Scott, the
brother of the murdered woman who
had come from his station at Fort
Fisher to search the liners reaching
there in the next 10 days in the hope
OF running down the slayer of his
sister.

years old - finally broke down and
confessed to the murder in the office

If the Russian Spolatoff, arrested in

said that he had not and then this
was added to the signed confession:
