the result that from five inches to foot

his effort, he called the water depart

HOTEL BARDUELL
At RUTLAND BURNED
WITH LOSS OF SI25.OO0
Guests Were Forced Into Street When
Weather Was Intensely Cold
Hose Froze and Burst in
Firemen's Hands.

| Rutland, Dee 3l.-The main part OF
| the Hotel Bardwell was destroyed by
| fire yesterday morning, the loss being
estimated at Sl25,000 The blaze was
discovered at $3.50 A. m, and the thirty
guests of the house were hastily sum
moned from their beds, forced to pack
up their belongings in a hurry and rushed
into the street where they encountered
a temperature of 20 degrees below zero.
The fire started from an overheated
furnace fire and quickly spread to the
roof and then followed partitions all over
the building. The low temperature made
the work of the firemen ineffective as
hose froze and burst within few feet
of the flames. The suffering of the men
was intense even with repeated cups of
hot coffee and dry outer clothing being
furnished by local merchants.
The flames were confined TO the five
story hotel which adioins the Masonic
temple and the Baxter National bank
The walls are still standing under tons
of ice, but the entire interior except the
north wing is in ruins. Most of the fur
nishings went up in flames. Ladders and
other apparatus are frozen fast against
the walls under heavy ice and it will be
some days before they can be recovered
None of the guests was injured, but Ed
ward Blanchard, a fireman, fractured
hip when a floor gave way under him
and he fell two stories. He was taken
to the hospital in a serious condition
The Bardwell was built in 1851 bv Otis
