New York, March 17?The ^ Windsor hotel, one of the linest ' i and most famous hostelries here, . i and thehomo of McKinlev when in this city was burned down thisij afternoon. The tiro caught on the second | floor and the building was rapid- . ly consumed. Many of the guests on the top , floors had to jump to tho pavement and some sustained fatal in- . juries. Six dead bodies have already been recovered and a score or two! are badly injured. The tire was the most spectacu- ! lar that could be imagined. When 1 it broke out 5th avenue was 1 crowded with people watching the I St. Patrick's Day parade, which was passing the building, which 1 stood at 47th street and 5th ? avenue, as the fire broke out, and i every window in the front ot the hotel, facing 5 th avenue, was 1 filled with spectators watching the i marching men and floats in the i street.' An unusually large number of people packed the streets and interferred with the move ' ments of tho firemen and police. < In addition to regular guosts of i the hotel the windows were crowded bv a large number of spectators, residents of this city, who had congregated there to i witness tho parade. Soon after the first alurm was given people on the lower floors of the hotel, those who had easy j access to the street and stairways began to pour out of tho building in great numbers. Some of them stood upon the narrow window sills and beckoned to the spectators that they were about to leap to tho streets. Tho men collected upon the sidewalk:readv to render *n*r rtuaiufarw-a they could Some of the women dropped to the streets. In most cases the efforts to catch them and break their fall were Unavailing, anil broken limbs were the result. As soon as the firemen could get their scaling ladders into position they climbed the sides of the building anil entered at every window where there was an un fortunate guest appealing for assistance, and many cases of heroic rescue were witnessed by the throng in the streets. At the corner of 47th street acd 5th arenue, directly across froto the hotel, is the homo of Miisa Helen Gould and, at her direction many of the injured wore carried there and were treated by physicians and aurses, whom 1 I A ' bu? uau mi ior. The first horror occurred just fifteen minutes after the fire broke out. A handsome woman appeared at the window of a room on the fodrth floor. She held out her arms to the crowd below. Then aha wrapped her hands as if in aupptiattioa and in a moment oikatiad to the window and leaped. Stte turfted about like a top add Itruok the iron railing in front of lie hotel. Her body seemed toll hj impaled there, hut it fell oir nto the area way. She was dead. 1 I'he woman was identified as Mrs. Amelia Paddock, of Irvington, N. Y. The loss of the hotel is estimated o he at least $1,000,000. Several idjoining buildings were damaged I considerably, but the loss on these i s comparatively small. All the c papers and books of the hotel are relieved to have been saved. The Windsor hotel was one of he most comfortable and attract < live hotels to be found anywhere. It was seven stories high, and al- ^ nost square in form, had afrontlge of 200 feet on 5th avenue, V ind occupied the entire block icetwcen East 40th and 47th r streets. The front centre of the luilding was eight stories in r leight. It had also two wincrs. V jttch seven stories in height and i 75 feet in length. There wore t liore than 500 rooms in the hotel. I i'he building was chiefly of brick a tod architecturally simple. SCOKRS OF VICTIMS. I New York, March 18.?The ^ Windsor hotel fire in this city it is f now said, had scores of victims. * Fifteen are known to be dead and 1 forty are dying. It is estimated that at least fif- ^ teen bodies are buried in tho ^ smouldering ruins and the numlter * may tie even larger. Mrs Price, of Macon, Ga., was 8 the one southern guest. She ( showed remarkable presence of 8 mind and escaped with her life 1 but is seriously wounded. Warren Leland, the proprietor 1 of the hotel, whose wife and ' daughter are killed, is not insane as reported. He is occupying the ' room formerly occupied by Kip- ' ling at the hotel Greonble. ( No bodies were taken from the ' seething mass of ruins today. The 1 latest estimate tonight is 16 dead, 66 missing and 57 injured. 1 Mr Gerry cai ried policies ag- ^ gregating $595,000 on the build- ' ing, and $120,000 on tho furnish- 1 ings. Mr Loland hail policies ag- ( gregating $100,000 on his own ^ furniture in the hotel. It is es- 1 timated that tho loss of guests in 1 previous metal and gems will aggregate $1,000,000. One fami- 1 ly alone lost jewelry valued at ' $200,000. ? , < Mayor Tillman of Charleston. f 1 From the News and Courior It is one of the possibilities ' that Senator Tillman will buy a 1 home on tho Battery in Charleston, establish his residence here, and become a candidate for Mayor of this city. It was also suggested at tho Consolidated dinner on Monday night that Ex-Mayor Latrobe, of Baltiruoio, had his eyes on the mayoralty of Charleston. There is no telling where the present Movement in this city will end. That it is humping itself, there is not the least doubt. Vm'I Totirr* SpU aid Smoke Tnr lJfi iwey.
