EXCITING SCENE AT A IIOTEL
Bates House Threatened with Destruc
tion by Fire Starting from a Gas Jet,
Guests Harrying to Save Themselves and Their
Property Fill inaShortTime with Stirring
" ' Incidents and Anxious Expectancy.
Spreading Flames Stubborn, and Fire
men Have Trouble in Reaching Them.
The Fine Office Badly Damaged, and Electrical
and Heating Machinery Destroyed Costly
Decoration and Furniture Injured.
There was much excitement on the down
town streets, yesterday, when tho worl
went from mouth to mouth that tho Bates
House was on fire. This is tho oldest and
best-known hotel in Indianapolis, and has
an historical and national reputation. It
was at this hotel, since vastly enlarged and.
improved, that Abraham Lincoln made his
memorable speech, February, 1SG1, while
on his way to be inaugurated at Washing
torn It was from its east-side balcony that
Governor Morton spoke to thousands of
excited citizens when the news came of the
fall of Fort Sumter. There it was that a
great popular demonstration of rejoicing
took placo when tho wires bore, on tho 4th
of July, 18C3, the news that Meade had won
at Gettysburg and Grant had taken Vicks
burg. There, also, it was that President
Johnson, attended by General Grant and
Admiral Farragut, stopped , in his ever
memorable swing around the circle.
It was about 12:40 o'clock yesterday after
noon when smoke was first discovered by
guests in the ofiico of the hotel, issuing ap
parently from the electric .room immedi
ately beneath. A bell boy sent down to in
vestigate returned with the information
that the engine-room was on fire. That
something was on fire was by this time very
plain and an alarm was sent in. It took
but a very few minutes for the news to
spread through tho hotel and there was an
immediate rush of excited humanity for
the office. Every guest, of course, wanted
his valuables handed out of tho safe first,
his baggage removed from his room, and in
fact all his wants attended to before any
one else was thought of. The full force of
clerks held their posts behind tho desks,,
though volumes of thick, heavy smoko
were soon pouring up through tho floor,
and so well did thev keep their
heads that the safe "was cleared
and the wants of all the guests attended to
with comparatively little confusion. Tho
full extent of the lire was at first realized
only by few of cither tho guests or serv
ants. They loitered about the rooms up
stairs, and it was fnlly fifteen minutes be
fore any efforts were made to get anything
out. The tiremeu, however, as soon as they
arrived saw they had tho meanest kind of
a tire to fight. It was difficult to locate,
and almost impossible to get at. It could
not bo reached from below, and it soon be
came necessary to disc through the office
floor in order to admit tho water. Axes were
brought at ouce, and tho floor was soon cut
in threo places, through which the hosemen
were enabled to play upon the engine and
electric rooms.
During tue early progress of tho tire the
office was jammed with people, though the
smoko was so dense that the firemen had to
use torches to enable them to seo. They
vrorkedlike beavers, despite tho sullocating
smoke which soon cleared tho office ot
spectators and compelled the firemen to use
wet sponges in order to breathe with safety.
The smoke poured up i the stairways and
soon filled the upper corridors and rooms.
The guests and chambermaids retreated be
fore it with agility and tho building was
soon left to the firemen aud the faw drum
mers and porters who remained to pet their
baggage out. A great deal of this was
thrown from tho wiudows on tho Washing
ton street f rout aud several people left the
hotel by means of tho tiremeu's ladders on
that side. On the Illinois-street
front, II. U. Farker, of tho L. E. iV W. rail-
way, who was ill and confined to his bed,
was removed through a fourth-story window
with ease and safety by means of the lad
ders. Not a little merriment was excited
in the great crowd on the street by the
agility of a bevy of chamber-maids, who
nfade their exit by means of ladders at the
lirst-floor balcony. After the excitement
begun to subside, and the smoko had
driven tho crowd from tho hotel, tho police
cleared tho sidowalks and stretched ropes
around the building.
It is worthy of remark that tho ladies
were much less frightened than some of the
traveling men who were guests in the
house. Quite a number of ladies weri at
dinner when the smoke came drifting
through tho corridors and penetrated the
dining-room, but when they were told that
the tiro was in the basement they resumed
their places at table aud finished their
repast. A traveling man named Crees,
of Kew York, had a room on the
second floor, east side of the building, im
mediately over the barbershop. He threw
several small sample cases and a number
of bundles to tho sidewalk. To these he
was about to contribute a heavy iron
bouud trunk when a colored porter ran up
a ladder, aud, taking it out of his hands,
put it on tho lloor and- sat on it. Another
commercial gentleman, named Phillips
born, representing a Now York house, oc
cupied Koom C3. Ho threw a number of
sample cloaks to tho sidewalk, and in
throwing out his large packinc trunk
tore away a part of tho balcony. Some of
the cloaks were carried away by tho crowd,
and probably will not bo recovered. The
wife of Maj. James L. Mitchell, who is an
invalid, was removed through a rear
stairway and taken to the Grand Hotel.
During the confusion a number of persons,
presumably thieves, made their way to
some of the upper floors of the house, but
were driven out by Captain Bruce and de
tective Splann.
The tire was, for the most part, confined
to the basement, but to the north of the
office it extended upward through tho la
dies' toilet-room to the loof. It was tho
most difficult fire to get at that tho depart
ment has had for many a year. Lines of
hoso were run into the office from Illinois
street, but, turned into the holes cut
through the floor, failed to diminish the
fnrv of the flames, whilo the blinding,
stilling smoke made it impossible for the
men to see what they were doing. With
the fire burning beneath tho tiled floor
upon which they stood there was, cvvery
moment, increasing danger of their being
precipitated into tho seething mass below
them, and this danger was so apparent that
tho police cleared tho office ot tho hotel
of every ono except the firemen,
driving all out to the street aud
beyorrt the cordon. Subsequent attempts
to reach tho tire through tho basement were
successful, and it was extinguished. In
the me au time, the lines of hose crossing the
street-railway tracks, near the transfer-car,
where all traffic passes, a blockade ensued,
and the patient mule enjoyed a rest. Thero
wero more than a hundred cars waiting for
tho hoso to be rolled away and the blockado
lifted. Shortly before 2 o'clock the em
bargo was removed, and the mules resumed
their labors.
It is supposed that the fire started from a
gas-flame over the boiler in the engino
room. . the jet setting lire to tho
wood-work. The tiro had evident
ly burned several minutes before
it was discovered coming np between the
ticket-office and the hotel desks. Mr. Kei
bold, proprietor of the hotel, was every
where, and every one of the two hundred
or more persons in tho building received
through mm timely warning.
None of the business rooms in the Bates
House are damaged by cither smoke or wa
ter, the only suflerer outside of Air. Cl.iv
pool, owner of tho Bates House, and Mr.
Keibold, proprietor of the hotel, being Louis
Deschler. who has a cigar stand in tho
lobby. He had. in addition to fixtures and
stock on the main floor, somo cases of lino
cigars in the basement, and estimates his
loss at 81.000. Ho carries, however, $3,000
In insurance, $iQ00 of which is in tho
agency of Gregory fc Appel, and $1,000 with
Charles E. Coffin. The hotel building is
insurable to the amount of $100,000. and Mr.
Claypool carries nearly 75,000, divided as

Total $40,000
The firemen were hardly out of the build
ing before Mr. Claypool and Mr. Keibold
were at work getting things in order. Evi
dently business was to continue at the old
stand without the least stop on account of
the dismal surroundiugs, the chief devasta
tion being in the once beautiful office. Mr.
Claypool was asked what lie thought his
loss would bo. "Taking my insurance to
be nearly $75,000," was tho reply, "I
at first thought that 10 per cent,
of that amount would cover my
loss, but as I look about I am disposed to
think $10,000 will bo nearer the figure. As
to Mr. Keibold's loss, you had better speak
to him. All the painting, frescoing, etc.,
comes in my insurance."
"How do you think the fire originated?"
"1 cannot tell. Itmight have been charged
to the big fire-place in tho offico but for the
fact that there was no firo there, either to
day or yesterday. You may 6ay, both for
Mr. Iteibold and mvself, that we have no
complaint to make of tho way tho tiro was
handled by the department. It was well
done; under tho circumstances I do not see
how it could possibly havo been done bet
ter. I think if the firemen had a curved
nozzle that would throw around a corner it
would be a good thing. I suggest that for
the benelit of inventors." - "
You can soe," said Mr. Keibold, when
asked regarding his loss, "that all my elec
tric machinery is destroyed. Tho elevator
machinery and elevator pump are injured,
while carpets, upholstered goods, bedding,
drapery and lace curtains, are saturated
with smoke. I have not given a thought
as to what my damage is." The reporter
suggested $30,C00. "It may be fully that
m u ch," was the reply. Mr. Claypool's loss
will be heavier than one might think at
first glanco. The decoration in this office
alone cost about $5,000.
Indianapolis is in great luck, as the de
struction of tho Bates House would have
been in the nature of a public calamity..
Mr. KeiboJd has given the Bates a national
reputation, and it stands in tho front rank
among the hotels of the largest citie of the
United States. As it is, tho work of repair
has already begun, and in a3 short timo as
possible evervthing will be as good as new
again. Both'Mr. Claypool aud Mr. Keibold
spoke in . terms of commendation of the
work of the police as well as firemen.
A Rochester Man's Experience.
C. A. Leonard, a commercial traveler
from Rochester, N. Y., who was at the
Bates during tho fire, was found comfort
ably domiciled at the Grand, last night,
and told an interesting story of his ex
perience. "I had been out most of the
morning," he said, "and was standing in
tho Bates House office a little after njoon,
when tho alarm was given. There was but '
little 6moke in the office at first, and I asked
a policeman whether ho thought it would
be worth whilo for me to move my bag
gage out. He thought it would
not bo necessary, bnt said something
about people who escap. j . ing left by
keeping on tho right side. Acting on tho
hint, I started up stairs to room 182, where
my trunk and sain pies were located. When
I reached the upper hall it was so full of
smoko that I could not distinguish tho
numbers, but I found a colored brother and
told him I had a dollar for him if he would
find 1&2, aud with his assistance I got into
tho room. . v
"There was very little smoke in it, and I
packed my trunk aud fastened up the
sample trays separately withont trouble,
but when I opened tho door to get them
out the smoke in tho ball was so
thick and overpowering that I had
to shut it at once. Tho window
of my room fronted on Washington street,
and when I went to see what the chanco
was of getting out that way, I found Lhe
fire department had gotteu a ladder ol ;ho
wall. It was a little too short to reach? but
was directly under my window. I got the
trunk and sample cases and 6bot them
down the ladder successfully without
breaking a single package. When it came
to getting out myself I had a little more
trouble, but I am an old iireman, and by
hanging from the sill I got my feet on the
ladder and slid down, getting a cheer
from the crowd when 1 reached,
the street. The balance of my
stay at the hotel I put in watching the firo
department, and will say for it that it was
admirably managed, and did excellent
work. It I was from any other placo than
Kochester 1 might say that it is tho best
tiro department I have seen, but the Ko
chester department leads the universe as
fire-lighters, and I can't afford to entertain
any comparisons whero it is included."
Kept Flames from Spreading.
At 4:00 o'clock 'yesterday afternoon firo
broke out in the workshops of tho Western
Taving and Supply Company. The flames
threatened tho total destruction of tho
works, but the readiness and efficiency of
tho firo department confined them to tho
part in which tho fire originated. The dam
ago will not exceed $G00.
Articles of Incorporation.
Articles of incorporation were yesterday
filed with tho Secretary of State by tho
