ANOTHER HOTEL FIRE. at a a a FOUR PER80NS KILLED AND OTHERS WOUNDED. A FBIGHTTUL PANIC CAUSED. and Children Kuahlng About In Terrible K.cilenieut—Another Wls eon sin Hotel Burned. St. Lons, Jan. 14.—The Planters' House, at one time the largest hotel In the country, was visited by fire at 4 o'clock this morning. A man on watch in the engine room was the first to see the blaze. It was in the kitchen and fast communicating to the ad joining apartments and to those just above, where all the servants were sleeping soundly. Tho watchman ran to the corner of the hotel and pulled a fire-alarm box. In one minute and 30 seconds from that time this fire engines were upon the ground. The quick work saved the main structure, for had the firemen arrived a moment later the fire would have been beyond control, and even as it was there was a looked as though the was to be repeated. The night clerks, bell boys and porters on watch ran through the building awakening the guests. They began at the top floor and knocked at every door as they ran through the halls and shouted that the hotel was on fire. From the sixth story they descended to the fifth and then downwards all through the hotel and waked up about everybody In They cried as they rapped on each door : "Fire ! Fire ! Wake up. Don't wait a minute." The halls were soon filled with a I Tightened, panic stricken crowd of men and women and children, who had followed the advice without taking time to dress, and, therefore, everybody rushed down the stairs dressing as they went and crowding each other in a frantic endeavor to reach the street. The rotunda was filled lu a very short lime with a mob of grotesque-looking people, who, as they failed to see anything but smoke, stopped to put on what few articles oi clothing they carried. They poured out into the street in a thick volume without head or feet covering and with little to cover the body. No one^ at first- could really tell the extent of the fire. The great est excitement appeared to be in the serv ants' quarters. As soon as they were told tbat the house was on fire they became frightened, and a panic for a few minutes ensued. The women shrieked and rushed out lightly clad, each striving to be the first to get down stairs. All succeeded eventu ally. Their quarters were over Mie kitchen The house was surrounded by engines almost immediately after the alarm was giveu and the effect of their eflorts was to cheek in a short time the progress of the flames. It was then found that the scare was greater than the fire. The fire origi nated in the kitchen, probably from the range, and, spreading rapidly at first, filled the few who were aware of the existence of it with horror. The smoke found its way all through the halls aud accelerated the speed oi the guests In evacuating the build* iug. Lights were turned on theu and some thing like order followed the retreat. On the streets were groups of men and women, shivering in the cold. Those driven ont found shelter any and everywhere they could. Hundreds flocked into the Olobe-Democrat office, which is on the corner opposite the hotel. Two hours alter the Are was discovered the engines quit work, tbe firemen having confiued the flames to the kitchen and help's quarter. The burning of the kitchen crippled the hotel and forced it to close Its doors. After the fire the rooms visited by smoke or flames were looked into. A man em ployed in tbe kitchen was found lying in the middle of the floor in a room in tbe second- r story. An Investigation proved that he was dead, though the body was still warm. He was an Italian, named Rebel Garuo, aud was about 40 years of age. It is thought that in into the could get out or call lor aid. On the fourth story, over the storeroom, a man was seeu in bed by the firemen, lie sullocated where he lay. Efforts were made to reach him, but it was an hour before his body was recovered, lie proved to be Denuis Rap&rti, a meat carver, who came from Italy with Carno. Late this afternoon another body was found in the Planters' House fire. The only man now missing is Henry Blauey, and, though this body is cnarred and unrecog nizable, it is supposed to be bis. lie was a man of GO and for 30 years had been a waiter in this hotel, body was found on the stairway leuding Iroin the help's quarter to the alley. Run nlug down those stairs, he perhaps dropped Irom smoke aud exhuustion and was then burned to death. Of the injured, Julia Hassell, 30 years old, an irouer, left the servants' quarters in a lright and leaped down the stairs, which were very narrow, breaking her right leg and forcing the ankle down to the heel. Jennie and Annie Coomer, elderly scrub-women, were cut and bruised in the excitement of getting away. STILL ANOTHER HOTEL FIRE. Keen ah, Wis., Jan. 14. —This city was thrown into a terrible state of excitement this morning by a tire which destroyed the Russell House and several other large build ings. The tire hroke out at a few minutes before 4 o'clock in the rear of Gaffney's clothing house aud spread with terrible rapidity. The Russell House flames and a scene of the utmost terror and excitement ensued. Efforts were made to rescue the guests and employes of the house at ouee. Many of the inmates seemed dazed and crazed with terror and rushed iu all directions except that which led to safety. The servant girls and many of the guests ran our. into the snow clad only iu their night clothes. Tbe weather was bitterly cold, the mercury standing at fifteen de grees below zero, and some of the sufferers were badly frozen. The Fire department, aided by citizens, did all that was possible to save the building aud to rescue its in mates. It was reported that several lives were lost, but a comparison uf the register and the list of employes on the pay-roll with the list of those sav»d shows that all were res cued, although many »re seriously iujured by the fire, by falls and bv the cold .
