BIG HOTEL BLAZE
At FORKED RIVER
Lafayette House Destroyed
With Other Buildings-He-
roic Work Saves Village.

TOMS RIVER, Nov. 25.-Fire early
today wrecked the Lafayette Hotel,
at Forked River, south of this place,
and, carried by strong wind,
threatened the destruction of that
village, with its half dozen winter
hotels and the residences of 500 in
habitants.
There is no organized fire depart
ment, but the natives, the guests of
the hotels and men from the sur
rounding country formed a bucket
brigade which was able to keep the
fire from spreading until the arrival
of the Toms River department, which
co-operated with the volunteers to
such purpose that by daylight the fire
was under control and the greater
part of the town was saved.
The Lafayette is a total loss, burned
to the ground. So are all the houses
on the west side of the block of Main
street adjoining the hotel, including
Albert Grant and Joseph Parker and
the general store of w. r. Rogers.
The loss will reach about $4,000.
The meadows on Forked River caught
fire from sparks and nearly a hun
dred lighthouses, closed for the win
ter, together with motorboats and
sailboats belonging to summer Wis.,
itors from New York, Newark and
Philadelphia, appeared destined to de-
struction. All were saved by the
heroic efforts of the bucket brigade.
The principal efforts of the volun-
teers were to save the Greyhound Inn,
with its fifty guests. 1t stood in the
path of the fire and for a time seemed
sure to be destroyed. All the guests
were routed out and got their belong
ings onto the porch ready for re-
moval Most Of the residents on Main
street made similar preparations, so
that the sun rose upon a quarter Of a
mile of sidewalks Uttered with trunks
and furniture.
