PARK.IN-PINES HEAP OF RUINS.
Aiken's Famous Hotel Burned-LsSs
Over SsS8, ,0G0-Guests Have Mar
rew Escapes.

Aiken, Feb. 2.-Ffre breaking out in
the Hotel Park-in-Pires here this
morning at II o'clock, burned the mag
nifcent and palatial winter tourist hos
telry to the ground, producing one OF
the most spectacular, awe-inspirine
aud destructive conhagrations in the
annals of this famous little winter re-
sort, and eutailing an enormous loss
that will mount into hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
Ali that remains Of the central point
of Aiken's winter season are shoulder
ing embers and crunlbling fre-whiten-
ed chimneys, standing like gaunt spec
tres against the blue skyline.
The colossal structure, in view of its
material and the peculiar architectural
arrangement of the building. was
doomed from the first. The blaze
started in a thousand feet Of fresh
pine lumber stored in the basement
near the elevator shaft, and with in
conceivable rapidity the lurid tongues
of fame swept the entire basement and
filed every room and corridor in the
hotel with impenetrable sitting black
smoke, rendering it impossible for the
frenen to gain access to the flames.

Rush for Exit.

New York, Feb. "A boys cry of
"6re" and the smoke from an exploded
reel of a motion picture machine in
an East Side theatre tonight resulted
in panic among the audience of 400
persons and a rush for the exits, i'll
which two women were killed and
eleven other persons so badly injured
that they had to be sent to hospitals.
The panic occurred in one Of the
most densely populated sections of the

poured into East Houston street, In

real thing made much better pic
ture.
A naval lieutenant is another pic
ture player who has had many mar
row escapes, his latest exploit in this
direction being fall from a high clifi
near Brighton, England. Once, too, he
was badly wounded in sword duel
with a picture player antagonist. OF
course the injury was quite uninten-
tional and accidental.
Alfred Brighton, a young American
picture player, lost his life in the Hud-
son River a few years ago. He had to
leap into the water and rescue a girl
who was supposed to be drowning.
While swimming toward her he was
observed to throw up his arms, sink
once or twice, and struggle frantical-
ly on coming to the surface.
The spectators on the bank ap-
plauded, imagining it to be part of the
performance, and the operator kept
turning the handle of the machine
while shouting to the drowning man,
Keep it upl" Only when he had sunk
for the third and last time did any
body suspect that anything was wrong
