A Syracuse detpatch sayi : What proved to be tbe most disastrous ire that has vieited Byraouae for many years was discovered in the Lt land Hotel at half-past \'t this morning. It is now 3 o'clock, and thu fire is still burning fiercely, though the entire Are department, conaist- ing of nine engines, is working hard to aavo further loss oi life and limb. An eye- witness of tbe tiro lays he is pjsitive that at least 86 persoiiH have loit their liyes.and many more have b en more or less injured. One woman waa btii.g lowered from a window by the aid of a rope. Bhe had reached a point opposite tbe thicd story when the rope beome ignited from a borsung sill, and partisd, and the woman toll to tbe partisan!, tier brains were daahed out and her body flattened into a ahapekss mass. Bo great is the confusion and excitement that the identity of those killed and injured ia wholly un- known. Undertakers' ambulances are flying ID all directions, and the streets in the) neighborhood of tbe ill-f atrd hotel are thronged witb txcited crowds cf people. A last (Thnrsda)) nights Syracuse de- patch give* the following fuller particulars of tbe terrible fire at tbe Ltland Hotel : Flames were first notuoJ coming from the) kitchen on the>eocud door. Immedi- ately the bls/i was communicated to the diniop-room, and from there it spread in a viry Uw moments to all j arts of the great bnilding. Tbe bells loaudtd a warning to the guests in every room in the building. and from the windows buada of frightened people were thrust. Then tbe guests oame down the elevator and ataira, many with hardly any arlioln of olotbing upon them. On* man jumped from tbe fourth story to the top ol the American KiprekB building. Several Other guests, lu.lu -u i; ladies, sprang from their windows. There were perhaps one hundred vaeats in the hDlel. The people injured wtie taken iu ambu- lances to tbe hospitals ( f the city. The cries cf the men standing in the upper windows and of thu netted crowd below were detfening, and, added to this, the roar of the many are engines created a mass of oonf oaion in and around tbe hotel. A rilKV TO TIIK rLAMCS. At 1.12 a.m. a man and wouv n were teen looked iu each other s arms in a window on the fifth tl wr In the northeast corner of the building. Below them was a perfect eaa of flames. No possibility of escape except by the window WM open to them, and that ut-uued to lead to inevitable death. No aioistsnci 1 oonld reach them. The woman seemed to bu aiiiiou* to jump, hat her husband was earnestly vntrettmg bar to desist. Tbe crowd below waited with bated breath. Tbe woman made one last effort to jump and was rest ruined by her huaband. Theu tbe cry of the crowd si*naUi'J thi- awful end that must have bwfalku them as lhay dropped backward into tbe room, which was a mass of flames. At a window on tbe fourth floor, almost directly under this, a woman appeared, bhe wa* surrounded on all sides from the Interior of the room by fierce flames. Bhe seemed irresolute whether to jump to the pavement or to face the fiery foe that waa faat encroaching npon her and life. Hhe atepped npon the sill of tbe window and plaucd her band* above her head. The people in tbe street below shuddered and turned their faces to hut out tbe horrible sight that must meet their gar.3 shoald tbe woman jump to tbe ground. Tbe woman did not jump ; bnt earned to be withheld by tilber fear or the feeling that tsjape woul.i come from some other source. She lei> .1 from the sill into the room, but remained at tbe window one brief instant. Then the whole room became enveloped in flame and the woman sank hack from vi. w. JUMI-IMO roB ura. Several polioemen stood on the sidewalk holding nets ready to catch the guests as they jumped. Two persons, a roan and a woman, jumped into one of tbe nets almost at the same moment, and escaped with broken limbs, Nxl to jump waa a woman who appeared In a window on tbe fifth floor in her nlght-olotlies. Bbn leaped oat of tbe window and, miasiog the net, was. daahed to pieces, on llio stone pavement Hhe was picked up and removed to the TBS mUliLT WI1KS. Oae of tbe firemen told this story of the woman who was killed by jumping " When we first oame wa were hemperer by the telegraph wires on West Fayotte atreei. In trying to raise a ladder it be oame caught in the wires. A woman stooc In a window crying for help. 1 he flame* were leaping out toward her and shs was frantic with fright. I went np a ladder +.1/4 out tbe wires. While I was doing this ho jumped, thinking wo oonld reach her and tbe awful result was that aha missec the net and was killed." BOMI Or lni VICTIM!. Frank Carrey, of (ileus Falls, waa burned to diath, and his brother, M. J Carrey, had his leg broken and suaUinec internal injuries. B. Uarria and Annie Kennell died at 4. M a.m. at Ibe hospital. Two ladies, wboee names are unknown, jumped from the flfti sjtory. and, though badly hurt, they eaoapejd with their liven. Hamnel Goodman, aiaist ant general freight agent of the New York Central Kailroad, was one of the gneete who escaped in safely. AU the physicians ministers and priests of the city are on the gpot aiding the woonded ami dying as best they can. The frightful shrieks of girls and the cracking of the flames oonld be beard for blocks away. The building boned eo rapidly that moat ol tbe people n the upper floors) ware obliged to oat the fir* esoape or jomp. WOMA* AMI) CHILD MJUIH. One woman appeared at a window ia a room on the north side of the building witb a baby ha her arm*. Her pitiful ories were aeard a* the flame* gathered around her. The firemen tried in vain to raise a ladder. The woman was told to throw ont the fire escape rop or jump from the window. Bhe throw out the rope, and as she was climb- ing ont of tbe window the flames enveloped her and eh* fell back into tbe building and perished. Seven or eight men and children lomptd from upper stories on to a shed in the rear of tbe building. TUlllW TBDUILVKtt TO TUB OBOUHD. At one window on the sixth floor were Miaa Walker, a pantry girl ; Madeline Uenne say , tbe linen room girl ; her siiter Lizzie Hennesay, a chambermaid. The three women rushed to the window, threw their arms about each other, and screamed for help. A hundred voices from ths street celled to them to be quiet till a ladder could be placed, bnt tbe Walker girl suddenly stepped on tbe window sill, and with a cry, " I'd rather be killid than burned, ' threw herself ont into tbe street. Bhe was kill, d by tbe fall. The Hencesay sister* a moment later were rescued by the firemen. At a window on tbe fifth floor two women screamed for help. Tbe big ladder was at another window and the jumping net #as br. ugbt ont. One of the women, Bridget ile, jumped before tbe net wae got into petition. She struck on her head and ihculders and was dead when picked up. Bhe was a hotel employee. Mary Padden, a laundry girl, jumped from a rear window and wa* killed. COH TihNEB'a KICIM. The time finally came when the cries 01 and and nothing oonld be seen in the great structure bat tbe rolling, teething, moaning billows of fire as they mounted above the highest cornice* and made the stars in the sky look dim. As loon as Cora Turner was aroused the rushed into the hall. The door of a gentleman's room near by wae op*n, and she rushed in witb the sbcut, " For God's sake save me !" The gentlr man was about to lower himself by the fire escape, bnt stopped and adjosted the escape to Miss Tanner. He lowered her to the ground and then follower). Miss Tanner was not seriously injured, bnt the palm* of her hand* were cut and lacer- ated by holding on so tightly to tbn rope. Miss Tannsr saved her jewelry, 9500 m cash and valuables, She grabbed them np baa'ily, thrust them into a jewel case and led it about her neck. Miss Dnpree and Miaa Klein, both of the same company, had narrow escapes. BOW MB. BBOWN SATKb UIMBIUr. J. W. Brown, of the Cora Tanner Com- pany, occupied a room on the fifth iloor. Mr. Brown was awakened by tbe bull, and looking cat of his door saw a bright liybt He took time to dress and was beginning to pack when he thought of two ladies of the company wbo were cu tbe floor sbevu and started to tbeir assistance. He met them in the hall, and they said they were all right and were taken down in the elevator. Mr. Brown then got back to his room, and putting a wet blanket over his head crept along the hallway and got down to the third tl >or. wbere be felt secure and sat in a window while the firemen were potting up a ladder. There were three girls in a window above. One of them jompsd out. He urged the other two to remain, aud they oame down on tbo ladder. At 4 o'olock tb superintendent of public works ordered the men engaged in ex- ploring the mine to stop work, as all the [lining had been accounted for. Coroner Bmith empanelled a jury at 2.30 this afternoon, and after viewing the remaina adjourned the inquest until to-morrow at 2 30. A STBCUill.l: FOB Lirs. The stories told by eaoh fortunate enough to escape with life were horrifying in detail. The atory of M. J. Carey, of Olen Falls, was perhaps tbe most pathetic. With his brother, Frank Carey, ho coon- pied a room on the fourth floor. He was awakened by a choking sensation in his throat and by tbe alarm bell ringing in his room. Tbe flames were then shoaling past his window. He jumped from the bed and turned to hi* brother. He found him in convulsions from ths smoke. All elf >rls to awake him were fruitless. Choking, blinded, suffocating, he shook his brother and urged him to get up and tly with him. At last he was obliged to give np In ditpair and eeek hi* own safety. He burst the door open only to be forced back by thu heavy waves of smoke and tire. Bo long as he oonld gain a firm footing by clinging tightly to the walls be worked his way down the stairs. He was finally obliged to seek a window and jump to the walk. lie was picked up aud carried to Oongrtan Hill Be was ii jured internally and one leg was broken. It is thought he will die. Another aged gentleman, too weak to give bia name, had both hi* legs broken by a fall. A TOBOBTUNU.N'I BSCAPB.

THE rlBBT ALABM. Lewi* LelanH, proprietor of the Ooean Hotel at Long Branch, wbo ha* been visit ing hi* cousin, Warren Leland, jnn , wa* the first to discover tbs fire, tie wa* goi from the office at 12.46 o'clock, when he noticed a light through oracka in the door opening into the atairway which led to the kiiohtu and store room above. Opening the door be saw that the upper end of he stairway wa* in flame*. He closed the door and ran hack into the office, calling to Nitcht Clerk* Porter B. Jones and John Bridgeman to give an alarm. Mr. Bridge- man rang the electric alarm, which rings a bell ID every room, and Mr. Jones sent a telephone alarm ol fire. Lewi* Leland and tbe elevator boy, Henry Uoeober, bad run upstairs and dashed through the hallo, calling to the gnest*. Clerk Bridgeman joined in this alarm through tbe balls and Clerk Jones kept at work ou the fire alarm Night Porte r Richard Beed got ont the fire hose on the second floor nd ran it bick into tbe dining-room. nBOio reoH TOE rujcr.8. In leas than a minute, however, the entire nortbwect corner of tbe bnildiog wa* afire. Even before a majority of the guests w. re awake the light shaft in the centre of tbe building was burning, and there being no optnicg at the top the only draught wa* through the window* of the room* opening into tbe well. The flames licked up the window lathe* and gaining headway into four rooms in each floor at the same time the fire swept through the entire building. Scores of gnest* wbo had been awakened by the crackling of the flames or the ringing of the electric bells rushed ont of their rooms into the halls, only to find them toll of smoke. Bom* of those ho got ont of their room* just succeeded in eicaping by the staircase. P. B. Brayton, thi* city, waa in a room on the fourth floor. He was aroused and qu.ckly got into some of hi* clothe* and went down the staircase through clouds of smoke, breathing through a wet bath sponge that he put in his month. Tbe ball* were filled with criet and shriek*. Although tbe gas was burning in all the balls, the light could not be aeen more than a few feet ont of tbe dense amoke. Dozens of men and women wbo hail fallen on tbe fl. or and stairs overcome with the intenae beat and smoke were dragged to the exit*. Captain Quigley, of the ni^ht watch, with about 26 men, did excellent service in resou ing guests. 13 TBB BISCCE. In less than ten minute* after tbs alarm bad been given tbe rescuer* were driven frrm the innide of tbe building. Shriek* still filled the air when the cffice of the hotel was abandoned, rhenfrocziet people crowded to the windows crying for help. The Hayes truck wae run uu tbe building and an attempt made to bout the big ez- ttnaion ladder. There was seme hitch in the machinery of the hoisting apparatus, which made a delay of several minutes. COBA TAXMBB'S COMTAMY. Wm. T. Orover, acting manager for Cora Tanner, wbo was filling an engagement at the 11. K. Jacob's Grand Opera House, wa* with the company, nearly all of whom were at the hotel. He tells a connected story of how nearly all escaped. Thi y occupied rooms on the third and fourth floora. Mr. Oruver aaid . " Nearly all, if i oi all, tbe young ladies of Mise Tanner'* company bad retired, bat several of the gentlemen were still np when the fire broke out. I threw a few cf my clothes and personal effects into my trunk, bat Irst them in the end. I was ou tba fourth floor. Among others on that floor was Miss Ada Dwyer. cf the company. We met in tho hall and started in the direction cf a fireman's vcioe. He waa showing frantic men and women the way to the stair*. We got separated in the crowd in ths halls, where Ibe scene was an awful one. The gai muit have hern put out by tbe dense imckr, for the hall* were aeon m total darkneta. 1 did rot we Mia* Dwjer again till we met on the ground floor 1 lost all my ptracnal effects except my watch and money." ACTOB AUiBICIl'l BXHBIBHGB. Louis Aldriob, the actor, who begin* a three nifibta' engagement in Buffalo, to uighl, hi leading lady. Mis* Dora Gold waithe, and hi* manager, Frank Chapman, bad thrilling experiences in the Leland Butel fire laet night. The trio arrived in this oity at noon to-day and all were pretty thoroughly broken up. A Afar* reporter hail a chat with Mr. AUrioh at 2 o'clock. ' I have been In tbipwrerk* and every- thing else," eaid he, " bnt 1 never was ao near death a* I wa* early this morning. I wa* in room 164 on the fourth floor when the fire started. I was awakened by the fire alarm. I went into the hall and Inure met Miaa Goldwaithe. Hhe wa* wandering around the floor and we both hunted for the atairway. The heat and emoke almoet overcame me. I succeeded in finding the stairway and we escaped all right. One man told me afterward that I saved his life, bnt 1 don't believe him. Idon'tremem- her it. Chapman, my manager, tlid down a rope to tbe sidewalk. I am willing to bet that in seven minutes after that hotel took fire it wa* a maas of flame*. In one hoar after the fire broke out the wall* toppled over. After we got out if the hotel we went to tbe Globe. Strange to aay, that hotel caught fire, too, and after we got to bed we were awakened and driven ont of there. We went to the Vanderbilt then and rtmiined until morning."

I)>zon a few days ago told Halsty of bis suspicions, and warned him if ho did not c. see calling at his home while he was a wy he would kill him. Yesterday Dixon was away from home, and on his return he saw his wife leaviog the house. She did not see him, but he got his rifle and followed her at a distance. Bhe went into some woods near by, ami her husband watched her.

The ball touk effect in Htlsey's temple, and he ft 11 dead by the side if his slayer's unfaithful wife. Dixon then told bia wife he intenoed to kill her also, but her piteous pleadings caused him to tsist. He contented him- self by pommelling her with bis fist acd declared they would separate by Halsey's body never to meet again. They parted, each going in a different direction.

Jim morning fonnd ui ninety mile* away toward the Welsh coast. .Friday and Saturday we lay in a dead calm. On Bstnrday morning we rounded Land's End, when the wind axain died away, nil we were forced to lie all day in brilliant sunshine within two miles of the shore. A Trinity House cutter parsed quite olcsa to us and the crew of the Koyal Adelaide, off Falmontb, actually exchanged greetings <*ilh our sailors. A Dublin steamer alto passed clote to us. A hiaty fog buried nslrom sight On Sunday eight four steamers blowing log horus were around us during the night. We cleared the Lizard in tho morning and darted across for the French coast to out- trick the British ihipping. We were becalmed again on Monday, and were obliged to beat up tbe channel. A brisk gals sprang npon Monday m, la. in which tbe yacht behaved magnificently. While passing Gnsrusey after midci^ht we were apparently pursued by a revenue cutter, which, however, was unable to wtatber the gale, and abandoned the chase. In the morning we were run- ning free before the wind for Cherbourg, where we landed at 11 o'clock. We bad reached our last day'a supply of fresh water. All the arrangements worked per- fectly, tbanka to the prominent Dublin oilioeus who lupcrictended tbtin, ajad we had unparalleled good luck."
