Columbia's Big Fire ilotel Jeromo to Be Rebuilt am Hank to Put lip Its New Huild ing at Once. Although Columbia's greates lire since the war occurred ovei 'J 1 hours ago, it seeins well higl j.npossible to ascertain the exacl losses and the insurance on th< buildings and stocks in the burn ed dislrict. Yesterday repeated il'orts were made but withoul success. Everything still ap peared to be in a state of chaos and it was a difficult task to fine , .... -t w.o 1/ ? iMvvicnvvu pai tioo. l'iiiuu^u wa: ascertained, however, to show i tint the fire was what the insur ance men commonly call a $150, 000. So far as the Hotel Jeronu property is concerned, Mrs. Fa gan, who owned the bulk of it while of course still very mud unnerved, has made up her mint to remain in Columbia and t< build another hotel at the earlies possible moment. She has wirec lor her brother to come here but he has not yet arrived, as h< ; in New Xork. She stated yes lerday that while her loss woult be a very heavy one, running into the thousands, the insurance amounting to but little over $ 17, (<00, she would build again ant would put up a much finer hote than the one burned. Some o Iu*r frinds think that 6he can bt urged to erect a fine six or sever s'ory building equipped with cle vators. The stand is one of the best in the city for that purpose It is not far troin the State capi 'ol, and is the first that is reach ed by a person coming from the Union depot. Besides the house lias an established reputation. While the Fagans are the heaviest losers, perhaps, by the lire, Mr. J. M. VanMetrehae beei hit hard." It is impossible as yet to tell what Mr. VanMetre'i losses are. He had been unwel several days preceding the fire on that occasion he first got over heated, then he got a colli bat! Iron* the hose, and yesterday h< was quite sick, no one being per mitted to see him at his residence Ail his papers were lockod up ir bis safe, which is now at the hot mm of the smouldering ruins with its top "bulging." His build ings were probably worth $14, (.00, and his stock is variously estimated ai between $20,000 am .*45,000; >t is certain that he car 1 ie?l one of the heaviest stocks it J he city. As nearly as can b? ascertained he was insured foi only about one fourth. The burned district measures 4 JO feet on the Lady street side . nd on Main and Assembly streeti 107 feet, being a little more thai .? third of a block. Of this last measurement the Hotel Jeroixu occupied 63 feet. It is a note worthy fact that the Hotel .Kromo property was payinj t xes to the city at a valuation o about $60,000. The rest ot tin property in the burned distric does not show up on the tax hooki iii the valuation generally placet upon it. During Wednesday night tin 1*1 att. stock which was mover into the street in n jiffy by man} m groes and others, the negroes t y the way, working like Tro jans, was placed in wagons and 1 auled to the Brennen building on Washington street. Ofcour?< t' "ro was a great deal of stealag< and breakage, but much of th# stock was saved in a marketahli is. condition. , TJie VanMetre stock was moved from the first floor only iud piled in (ho street between :ho Y..M. C. A. building and Mc Millan'e. It virtually stopped up the street. It had hardly been. p piled there when the rain began. A cordon of police was thrown s around it, but even this could r' not keep down the stealage abso lutely. The electric lights disappeared before 11 o'ccloek and the officers were left in total daik nes8 save for I ho occasional glare from the ruins. Yesterday morni) ing bright and early men and wagons appeared on tho scene and in a short time the valuable stock, which could so easily be uined by water, was removed to a storeroom on Assembly street for storage. A great deal of the most costly stuflf had been ruined by the rain before it could be moved. Ml o nt W I 1 Sltorlinir urlin litiil v/o i'v> ?? i.'uu n 11 vj iiu\i moved out his stoek in anticipa tion of tho lire striking his place, j had everything back in its place by daylight and things were run ning along as usual. Most of the trunks, clocks, valises and other effects saved t irom the Jerome were taken r across I he street to I)r. McMil? lan's drug store. Dr. McMillan L not only throw his store open to i the sufferers, but ho and his assistants dressed the wounds of all I injured during the fire, most of I whom were named yesterday. It was not until yesterday afternoon , that many of tho guests of the I hotel succeeded in finding their * valises and trunks. Most of f them were perfectly sate in Dr McMillan's place. A few traveling men who had left their bag gage at tho hotel while thov were 3 making short trips over the State - were busy telegraphing here yes, terday trying to find their posi sessions. 1 The first of the business men 3 who wero burned out to secure t another place and announce that 1 ha would make r fresh start at i the earliest possible moment was 3 the proprietor of the King Racket " ofora I I a iroiit nr/1 n if t*n n tr ^ t b a j oiv/i u. lid jccioiuwj i nu ir'i U'w I present nffioo of the Wright's ^ hotel building and will order au entirely now stock at once. He j hope* to have bin store open by | February first. I The Farmers and Mechanic* * bank people are not over happy 1 j that the Biuall buildings they ovrn north of the alley were saved. ' They propose to begin, just as soon 08 Messrs. Whaley vV Shand can cornpleto the design of their building and the working plans, , to coinmonco building operations. They will toai down the present j building and propose to replace 3 them with a handsome structure, i ; Toe tenants w ill all have to vacate s on the first of the new year. Yesterday there were a niim1 I ber of electric linemen working > I on the poles adjoining the buildings burned. They had a difficult ' task to straighten out the wires * | and reconnect them. Many of them were burned and twisted. 4 It is a notoworthy fact, however, that though the cable of the Hell company lout, its supports, it merely nagged, but did not melt. - and giv.? way. An a remit of the ' lire many telephones) were cut ' out below the hotel. The line mart had to work in tint down ' pour of rain yesterday, but they ' did not seem to mind it. r During the day hundreds of people cam* down to view the ruins, notwithstanding the rain. ^ j The few remaing wa Is were not j I pulled down yesterday. The obt | server standing on Alain street j could see all the way through to 1 Assembly street. 1 It developed yesterday also that ? the fire did really jump the alley' way referred to yesterday. It 3 tacklsd a brick building in rear ' of Schaill's pawn chop on the ' north aide and gutted it. The firemen kept the flames confined to thin building, however. 11 ia remarkable that the fire f men managed to nave a small wooden building on the other end ' of the alley, juat across from tin I Cooper <fc Taylor hall which was ? totally deatroyed. * Below in given a statement Of ? the actual valuation of the propi erty directly affected by the fire a with the insurance ho far as can ' ?-*> % be ascertained: Jeiome Hotel building, valuation If40,000,- insurance $15,000; Jerome furniture Val. $20,000, Ins $2,000; Kind's Racket Store, Val. $7,000, $5,500; VanMetre stock,Val. $30,000, Ins. unknown; VanMeter stores, Val. $7,000, Ins. $7,500; VanMetre I'laM store,-Val. $7,000 Ins. unknown; CarrolPs shop, Val. $750, Ins. $300; J.
