Gadsden, May 9.--(special0z-A fire in the Attalla hotel at Attalla, at o'clock this morning partially destroyed the building and caused 30 guests to flee to the streets In their night clothes. The fire started in the kitchen, presumably from a defective fiue, and the manager, Frank Hodgkins, and his family, who had sleeping rooms immediately above the kitchen, barely escaped from the burning building. The prompt arrival of the fire company and the fact that an emergency fire equipment was carried by the hotel, kept the confiagration confined to the kitchen wing of the building. The struc- ture Is of frame and is the property of the Alabama Great Southern railroad. The loss is estimated at between 5000 and s.5Oo.
