Dixon, of Chicago. who occupied a room in Michigan street front, gives a thrilling account of the fire. He was awakened by the crashing of some glass. and opened the door to ascertain the cause, The hall was filled with an impenetrable volume of smoke, which immediately tilled his room, forcing him to close the door. He then gathered up his clothes and went into the hall. groping about until he found the way leading to the bank building. Con. tnnuing. he said: A “ I looked back upon the Newhall, a dark‘looking mass of smoke enveloping it. with now and then lurid gleams lighting up the opaque cloud. The scene was a fright. ful one. After a moment's hesitation I decided to reenter the building. in the hope at saving some poor creature. The few clothes I had recovered I hastil put on and crawled back. I met a gir , one of the help, with a bundle at clothes in her arms. The moment I saw her she fell back exhausted, and I carried her out into the bank building. The rear portion of the hotel where I was was not then in flames. but from the other side great sheets of tire leaped up whirling and flashing. I went back a second time and met another girl. I do not know her name. but she Was a dining-room girl. and waited on the table at which I sat; She recognized me, but I did not know her. She was burned very badly. Her hands were hanging by her side. cut open by fire, and the flesh hanging loose upon them. Her arms and her face. too. were scarred and black with soot. Her scanty clothing had just caught fire, and rushing into one of the rooms I seized a sheet in which I‘ enveloped her and carried her through the bank to a sleigh upon which she was placed and taken to her sister at the Axtell House. By that time the hotel was a mass of 31am: and entrance to it would have been eat . A BTAIRWAY BLOCKED WITH DEAD BODIES. . The servants‘ stairway was in the north- west corner of the building. It was a narrow. spiral. wood staircase. and of course. ver inflammable. Before the flames reao ed this part of the hotel there is reason to believe that this narrow stair- way was literally glntted with the bodies of the dead servants. The story told by a guest. Mr. 7 Samuel Martin, of Denver. hears out this theory. He had a room on the fourth floor. When he realized that the hotel was on fire he sprang into the hall. which was black with smoke, and. running wildly about. found himself at a narrow stairway. Nor knowing where it led. he plun ed down. At the bottom of the first land as he fell over a stack of bodies of women. A little further on he encountered a irl who was crazed with terror. Be as ed her to follow him. but ehe refused. Without further words he swung her on his back and hurried down another flight. The smoke was stifling and the flames were growing hot. Almost de- epalring oi ever reaching the_cutsi_de. _ Mr. hisrtin. still carrying the girl on his back. again stumbled over some dead bodies. he knows not how man . and being unable to recover himself. he and his burden fell headlong to the foot of the stairs. In another mo- ment they were taken out in salety. It is known that it was the servanta‘stairway that Mr. Martin desoended. and so far as now known he is the cal person who got out of the house in t at way. If that narrow passageway was thus blocked on the lower stories, pee is now ask what must it have been on t e filth and sixth floors. As near aeean be ascertained. no effort was made by anybody to waken the servants. and only a few of the guests had any warning of their danger until their transome tell in by reason of the heat of the flames which swept up and down the long corridors. rna wmrs nos n ma wmnow.
