FAMOUS REVERE
 HOUSE BURNED
Guests Trapped in Flames in
 Historic Boston Hotel.
WILD SCRAMBLE FOR SAFETY
Guests Saved by Ladders--others Es- capped Through Halls of the Hotel, Which Burned Rspidly-Oth-
 CT Hotels Also Afire.

Boston-Boston's most famous hos telry. the Revere House. in Bowdoin square, was burned in fire that started in the grotto, a dining room on the street floor, and quickly spread up through the entire six stories. Many guests were carried down lad ders by firemen, and others rushed from the building through the smoke scantily clad.
 Within half an hour the historic building was in flames from cellar to roof. five stories above. 200 men and women had been carried down lad ders and fire escapes and dragged through smoke-filled halls, and when a count was taken twelve persons were found to be missing.
 From the Revere House the fire spread to the hall of the National Lancers on Bullfinch street. and then to the house of Engine Company No 4, on Bullfinch street, and the Hotel Rexford, another of the older hostel ries.
 One fireman. J. F. Kippenburger, fell four stories to a picket fence and died on the way to the hospital.
 A party of sailors from the battle ships in the habor were in the vicinity when the fire broke out and did hero ic work They assisted the firemen in raising ladders and carried several women and children from the burning structure.
 Four alarms called out the greater portion of the city's fire-hghting ap- paratus, and the firemen were able, by heroic measures. to save the Lancers' Hall and the engine house, although there were brisk fires on the roofs.
 At o'clock it was thought by the hotel people that all the guests of the Revere House had been accounted for, notwithstanding the report of the po- lice that many were still in the hotel when they were driven out by the smoke.
