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.

cued, although many »re seriously iujured
by the fire, by falls and bv the cold .
