I pulled all lour et tbe Are alarms en the different floors, nd the people came flying down stairs In their night cletbea The Are followed the elevator, and Inside of Ave minutes it readied the top fleer. I rusbed out of doers alter doing all I could." Bell-boy Plummer tells his experience as follews: "I was dusting tbe reading room when I heard about and aaw tbe fitmes oemlng up the stairway from the basement. Mr. Alpert and I turned en the boss under tbe main atalrway. We straightened tbe hose out and turned tbe valve but the water would net run. Then we gave the alarm. Tbe watchman and I get a plank and broke In tbe Kaale street ontranee te tbe hotel. Then we get tbe plank under the fire eaeape) en Eagle street and we helped people down. I think there were about 81 guests la tbe house." The spread of tbe ft sue Is said te have been frlghtlul In its rapidity. The elevator baft served as aa flue for tbe flamea and they rusbed op te the top fleer la vaty few minute. Ae the guests were reused and saw the interior exits cut off they turned te tbe windows. They oeuld be teen In their night oletbea atscd Ing out clear and vivid before the lurid background of the flames, Their creams were horrible te hear and oeuld be heard for blocks.

He left Ave persona en the kitchen reef, and thinks they mast all have perished, as they did net attempt te fellow him through the flamea " 1 thought It was almost certain death," he said, " but It was certain death te remain.

Sporting men el several counties enjoyed themselves In their own style yesterday by holding a big cocking main en the Yerk county slda of the Susquehanna river, neatly oppeslto Marietta The main was arranged some time age, and the parties In It were Lancaster en oue slde and Marietta and Mid dtetewn en tbe ether. Tbe " tip" had been gUente nil the well-known levers et game fowls, and the result was that there were bs bs tween two and three hundred persons at the light Philadelphia sent a delegation, and thore wm ene man prosent from Pittsburg. The ethers came from Yerk, Uarrtsburg, Marletta,Mlddletewn, Lancaster and dlflerent places. The crowd from Lancaster was very large and Included the best known cock fan ciers. These who went from the Lancaster side of the river, experienced great difficulty in reacblng the pla et meeting. The Sus quehanna was high yesterday, and there waa such a strong wind that the water was very rough. It was very difficult te cress in beats, but the boys were anxious for the fun and the majority of tbem faced tbe danger In order te be ou band. The water dashed acrnn nnd almost tilled aeme of the beats and when the Yerk county side was reached many of the occupants were thoroughly soiked, while some bad their clothing frozen stilt upon their persona These who were ttmld about crossing the river by beat walked tbe bridge at WrlgbtsvUle and np tbe Yerk county sida There were aeveral omnibus leads from Yetk, and many drove from ether points in that county. The crowd was mixed and it included men or all classes and conditions. By 11 o'clock tbe people in terested bad nearly all arrived, and while preparations were belng made for the main it was Hgreed te fight a side battle between a Philadelphia and a Marietta bird, Just te sharpen up tbe interest of the crowd. The fighting was dose in an old outbuilding in which a line pit Ailed with tan bad been made. Each side produced a dark red bird and It was net long until the one from Marietta had knocked out the Quaker City representative. There was 120 en each chicken and considerable outside betting. It was shortly before neon when the main began aud tbe Agbtlng was kept up until 5 o'clock In the afternoon. The conditions of tbe fight were that each side was te show twelve cocks and aa many battles were te be fought as cocks could be matched. When the birds were weighed It was found that seven en each side " fell In." This number of battles were therefore arranged. The main was for $50, and each battle was for as much as the sides agreed upon. Tbe result was that the amounts en each cock in the battles ranged from (40 te (80. By an arrangement twe-luch heels were used. This did net suit the Laneaster men very well, as they are net accustomed te Agbtlng witu bucij leug gaus. Tbey agreed te thl, hewever, b'cause tbelr opponents would net fight any ether way. The birds of the Marietta and Mlddletewn parttes were In excellent condition, while some from this city were uet Tbe birds were all game, however, and during tbe main there was some et tbe best lighting ever seen In this section. The Lancaster fowls were handled by ene of tbe beat men lu his line in Phila delphia, while a Lincatter county man looked alter the birds of tbe otber side and did it well. The betting was very heavy all day. Fer the first light Lancaster pitted a deminlck neighing S pounds and one ounce, and the ether partles a dark red wilghlug 5 pounds 2 tuncea. In a short fight tbe Lancaster bird was cut blind aud although he did some excellent work, he was whipped se badly that he had tebekllleJ. Fight Ne. 2 brought out two dark reds ofalmestequal weight Lancaster bad the best of this battle for a tlme, but the bird received a blew in tbe heart and was killed lu a short tima 1'er tbe third Agbt Lancaster produced a blue pile and Marietta a black red. Tbls was a rattling geed battle nbich tbe Lancaster bird wen by deal ing ita opponent a terrlAe body blew. Bulb sides produced black red cocks ter the fourth fight which was another dandy. The Lancaster bird appeared llke a winner for a time, but be received a heavy body blew which rattled htm and he was whipped. Lancaster put in a deminlck for the fittb fight and the ether aide showed a lulit red. The Marietta cock lest one eye early In the fight and he was beaten alter Midi; badly cut up. Twe black reds were pitted in the sixth "go" and Marietta bad two euuees the better In weight This was a tlue fight lu which the Lancaster bird seen bad a wlug broken, but he succeeded in downing the ether, which lest an eya With this victory for Lancaster each side bad weu three battlea and tbe excitement was intense. The betting ea tbe last aud deciding tibt of the main, eutside of the big money put upon the blrdi lu the peel, was very heavy. Lancaster had a black red and Mariettas light red. Tha latter wen In short order thuH gl ing the main te tha up river people. . Iter the main a slde light was made be tween a spangle cock trein Marietta and a black red of Lancaster. There was (GO en inch bird aud mauy eutside bats. The fight lasted fifteen minutes, and the Lancas ter bird weu, killing bis opponent Tha spangle cock was a Ana fighter, but his bill waa brekeu. Recently he fought a battle for (500 at a town in Central Ohie. The odds seemed agalust tbe Lancaster folks all day, but they wera as "gamy" as the .birds Everybedy seemed te have brought "a roll" which they ware anxious te increitsa or leso and they wera uet at all slew in putting up their "sugar." When they did wlu they get there heavy, but en the result et tbe main our people came away losers te a considerable extent They had a big dsy's sport, however, notwithstanding that all things wero net of the most encour aging nature, it is likely that tha result or yesterday's fight will make another and per haps larger oue, when Lancaster people will de better, as they did net have their best stock In the fight esterday by any means. A MUc Vlght Near Baltimore, The Baltimore city and county men held a main near tbe etty yesterday. Five battlea were fought between stags and tbe county be s wen three of thorn. An Kxpert f lauUt.
