THE FIRE.
The Belmont Hotel To-
tally Destroyed.
SCENES AT THE BURNING.
Heavy Losses, Partly Covered
by Insurance — Vari
ous .Notcß.
Shortly before 11 o'clock y'.stcrdjy
morning one ol the most popular and
the pleasantest hotel-) io Los Aligeles
caught tiro and burned to the ground.
Ttie Belmont hotel was built in 1834
by Dr. J. W. Ellis, and has since
that time until yesterday enjoyed the
patronage of the pablia in the highest
decree, in fact, seldom has there been
a vacant room to bo obtained. Situa
ted on an eminenco at the end of the
Second pi rect cable road, a,way from
the bustle, dust and business of the
centre of the city, it hud become
a fanily residence lor visitors and
citizens, who preferred to live in this
mariner with all the comforts thai
couM be obtained in the civilized
woii I. Home months ago Messrs
Clark and Patrick leased the hotel
for a term of five years, and under
their management the popularity of
the Bdniont had increase I until they
foil ii'l it necessary to make improve
ments aud additions. During the
past few months these have been
going on by degrees, and only last
we k the young lcsees footed up tlie
costs ami found that they ha I ex
pended iv the neighborhood of $.3. r >oo,
for which they expected to lie reim
burse I by their patrons in tho future.
This they had every reason to believe
would be accomplished, for at the
time the fire broke out there were
fifty-five guests in the house, und
there were but three vacant rooms.
The-* hid been full up to the day
before, when the partio* who oc
cupied them moved into a house of
their own. The rooms would liave
been occupied before nightfall for
there were many applicants for them.
Ever pi litre Messrs. Clark and Patrick
have h id charge the list of applicants
for accommodation has been large aud
they were on the road to prosperity
and fortune when the disaster came
Tlie hotel on the inside was as at
tractive as on the outside. The
furniture was elegant and of the latest
styles and the conveniences included
everyt ing that modern science and
art enuld suggest. There was nothing
lacking which could have added to the
comfort of the guests. Outside, the
grounds were laid offal no other in
the city There were large beds of
flowers, laid out by an artistic hand,
and pleasant walks for the guests, and
no more attractive ho'el could bo
imagined ; and this, witli its contents,
was nothing but a heap of ashes at
noon yesterday.
TUB CAUSE.
There were 5 various rumors as to
the cause of the lire, but th it which
Was probibly the truth was to the
effect that the Chinese help in the
kitchen had set the building on fire
by his carelessness. According to
statements made lie had been • nguged
In he ttiug some grease on tho range
in the kitchen. Carelessness on
his part caused it to tip over
and catch fire. The woodwork
of the kitchen caught from tlie burn
ing grease, and there was from that
time no h ipe of saving the entire
struct nro. At the time the tire started
a god many "f the guests were down
town, especially the men, and Mr.
Clark, one of 'he lessees, was also
away from the hotel. The first signs
- * Are that were noticed werci the
nuiiig of the Chinese and the
nke which began to pour out of tlie
Windows of the kitchen, wiiicii was
situated underneath the water lank,
whore the supply of tho building was
Stored. The first men on the scene
were 'ohn Frank Win. Fl. Burkhart,
Ed Halbirder and Charles Stump,
who were working on a building near
by. They ran to the hotel and
tried to get wa'er from the tank,
but the fire had too great a start, and
they soon saw that their work inthi<
direction was useless. They then
turned their attention to Having the
furniture and trunks of the guests, an I
in this they were aided hy the ladies
who had been roused and neighbors
who began to arrive. They worked
until they were scorohe i by the
flames. In the meantime tlie police
station had been telephoned in regard
to tlie fire, an I au alarm wis sent in.
Tho (list engine to arrive, yayj tint
Stationed at tlie ColMer" ol Ninth And
Main straps, and it was some time in
petting over the hills, and when
it did arrive it was found that the
nearest water was that in the
lake at tho Second street park,
from which place it waß impossible
to pump water to the fire with but one
enirine. When the firo reached the
main building it burned but si iwly,
and had there been water and en
gines near, the fire would have been
snbdued before much damage had
been done. A" : * «" a the lire de
partment di.» . , una of water
on the building hi,..fan of the walls
were down. Its first effort was to wet
down the si ieß of the E lis Col
lege, and this was saved mainly
because it was so far away. At
a quarter past eleven o'clock the
fire burst through the roof of the
hotel, and in a few moments the build
ing was a mass of flames, aud the peo
ple dovoted their strength to tho re
moval of the trunks and furniture,
which had been taken ont, to places
further away from 'he beat which wa
intense. At a quarter to 12 o'clock
the walls had fa len in, and even the
tall chimney hid fallen, and it was at
this time that a second engine was
located half way up tho hill and the
water forced through •both engines
turned on the embers, for that
-wan all that was left ex
cept the trunks of the g'lests
aud the furniture. At this time there
was a very large crowd of citizens on
the ground, and residents at the hotel
■who were down town having heard of
tho fire, began to arrive, breathless, at
the scene. Their first endeavors were
to find baggage, and most of them
were successful, for the majority of
the trunks in the houso hud been
saved, but tliere was so much confu
sion that it was impossible to tell what
| had beou lost.
TLIE LOSSES.
Tho building was erected at a cost
of 14 1 000 by Dr. J. W. Kllis and whs
mortgaged to the extent of $'-'0,000
■with the Los Angles Improvouient
Company- On this there was
™ insurance of |21,000 in va i

of tho hotel was valued
at about (KS.OOO Ol * U ±fit l l£2R

The II|§oi« Society held their
weekly solid meeting as usual at 10*
North Main, last night. The hall
was crowded. It was decided by a
majority vote to return to the ol I by
laws und hold a meeting every second
Friday evening. These social meet
ings are growing in popularity and
those who have once had'the pleaeUte
of being p eeeut at one of iiieir Im
promptu entertainments, know that
to accept ttie broad Imitation given
t • all is to insure to themselves a very
pleasant evening. The programme is

During the firo there were a number
of explosions of pipes, one piece of
which flew over 100 yards.
Dr. J. W. Ellis was away from the
. iv, at Santa Monica, when the lire
occurred. The young ladies at his
c.'lleje were very much excited by
the noarne 8 of the fire.
The Second street cable road could
not run cars during the fire, and this
delayed many of the guests who were
down town, from reaching the hotel
in tiiii" to see the fire.
The water in the lake at the Second
stroitp.uk was lowered about a foot
by the pumping of the fire engiucs.
The Webster-Brady Company open
to-night In tho Lighlt o' London, got
ten up and presented in magnificent
style. From the look of the reserved
seat sale they wilt he greeted with a
splendid house. The Stockton Mail
speaking of their performance of the
Light* o' London says:
In our judgment the " Lights o'
London" was oy long odds tbe bent
and strongest piece presented during
their stay In our city.
The characters and costumes were
perfect and the plot one of most thrill
ing interest. Interspersed throughout
the piece are numerous touches of
Comedy that prevent any possibility
of weariness on the part of the audi
ence. Mr. Brady made au ideal
English countryman and his feroc
iousuoss was something appalling.
Mr. Webster as a persecuted son and
innocent convict, appeared in i
character exactly suited to his splendid
ftvlo of acting. Tne Alissew Charlotte
Tittle and Laura Bigger were splendid,
as they have been in all the perform
ances. The entire company appeared
to a better advantage than on the pre
vious evenings. The scenery was good.
The five men who aided in hauling
out baggage and furniture are old
firemen from Terre Haute and have
been here but ten days.
One of the guests of the hotel was
carried into the Ellis College, beiug
too ill to walk.
Soon after Ihe fire broke out in the
Belmont Hotel, tho young ladies at
the college of Dr. Ellis, which is clo:-e
to the Belmont, became greatly
alarmed and Miss Stillman, in the ab
sence of Mrs. Marsh, the principal,
had to exeit herself to the utmost to
prevent a panic, which she effectually
did and soon tho young ladies were
out on the verandas, witnessing ihe
buiiimg building.
NEW HIGH STREET

Tho rapid growth of the city of late

A HgBALD representative who usu

Criminal Notes.
All arnund the north side of the

grand heights, and on their world-old
Orowßthey lifted to the skies iheir

the temperature was of 'hat abso

life seem worth living for. ixiwell

"And what so perfect as a day in

i'he answer is last Sunday at Ana

Things are stirring at Anaheim. The
new " railroad ,is graded .through
the town, across tho wash, throttyh
Fullc-'on, west through Orangethorpe
to the Coyote House, and will soon be
Ui»on the mesa shooting straight for
the springs. The Hotel Del C.tmpo
contract is let to the Albrecht Bros.,
an Anaheim firm, and it will be fin
ished in ninety days. Then Anaheim
will have th cc fine hotels. The Sis
ters are waiting anxiously for a de-d
from the Dreyfus estate to their
lots in order that they may
proceed with the building of
their academy. The Town Trustees
are about to lay water pipes along
I ypress street for a distance of several
thousand feet. The water company
is pushing thing" on their big reser
voir.
A company of railroad contractors
with a large force of men from Colo
rado is expected every day to go on
with grading the railroad from Ana
heim to Oranue. This company will
construct the big bridge over the Santr.
Ana river. Progress is reported on
the ■ -oposed new road from Ana
heim . to tho landing. Capitalists
ir San Francisco and Los An
geles have had their interest enlisted
in the pro) et It is sure to gt
througn at an early day. Its advan

The Del Campo people are laying
cement sidewalks along thei'- tract,
C nter street is being graded, newj
houses are seen going up all aroutK
the town, and in the country up by
North Anaheim and PlacentU as
well. Tne new ho*el at Full
erton is nearly tint-bed, and
will soon be open to guests. New
comers from tho Western States are
coming in rapidly and cettllutl in the
towns of Anaheim, in Fullerton, at
Placentia and all around the country.
ANAHEIM TO THE FRONT.
The attractions of Anaheim and its
vicinity are becoming well known.
The pure climate, excellent soil, per
fect drainage, absence of dust, abund
ance oi* water and such elements
of the situation are getting to be
well understood. Should people rec
ognize the fact that pro|>erty is held
here at less that, fifty per cent, of the
prices held in other places, they see
that as water seeks its level, the in
trinsic value of lands at Anaheim
will push prices ui> to the n.nges of
the other most eclectic spots in Los
Angeles County, and that
there will lie a big day
of reckoning with a large balance in
favor of those who buy vow.
Well, the new hotels at Anaheim
1 ano Fullerton will be linislu d soon,
i and when they nro the n»W«f atherer
will beg another day off, go to Ana
i holm and sponfl it plea-antly again,
. By the by, on Christmas evo Captain
Keith will have a big rabbit hunt
