Frovt the St. Louit Republican, Lit It is with the profoundest foelings of regret tliat re prepare to record the particulars of the deplorable catastrophe announced in the head lines above. The Lindell Hotel is de stroyed by fire. That magnificent architectural pile, one of the finest of its character in the world, and which only yesterday was tins thief adornment of our city, is now an enor mous mass of blackened ruins. It is almost impossible to realize the fact from the bare announcement. Yet even while we write (12 '. M. Saturday) the midnight heavens are illumined with the glare of the burning, and the whole city quivers with excitement and consternation. TilE ALAKM. The fire, according to the most reliable ac counts, first made its appearance on the roof towards the southwest corner. It is said to Lave commenced in one of the servant's rooms, on the seventh fctory, but we couM ascertain no definite particulars on this point. Jt is reported to have been discovered first by some of the employes of the hotel, who con veyed the startling intelligence to the oflice. When the announcement was lirst mado that the building was on fire, it did not create that wild and sudden excitement which generally takes place under such circumstances. This was attributable to the fact that, the lire being on the highest story, there was little or no evidence of it in the lower part of the build ing. It is probable, also, that the report was at lirst discredited. This was about 8 or quarter to nine o'clock. Everything "was going on throughout the vast building in the nsual manner. The billiard and sitting rooms were crowded with guests and visitors ; supper was not yet over ; the large hall wore its usual animated appearance, and the lights in nearly every window in the front of the splendid building told that the almost innumerable apartments had occupants within. But in a few minutes a wild change swept swiftly through the crowded hotel. The appalling cry of " fire," at first whispered in undertones, 'began to be spoken aloud. The hurrying to and fro of employes, the agitation visible in the faces of the proprietors and others who re turned hurriedly from visiting the upper stories, soon attracted attention and spread the exciting intelligence. But all doubt as to the fact was ended by the appearance of the flames bursting through the roof and showing through some of the windows on the upper story. Then the excitement gathered on the street with the sound of many' voices, and the wildest consternation spread from room to room, along the wide corridors, and from floor to floor throughout the enor mous hotel. The scene which ensued baffles all description, and yet there was not that desperate panic which is so generally associated with such occa sions. Whatever eli'orts to conceal the fact may at first have been thought necessary by the gentlemen connected with the hotel, in order to prevent a widespread and unnecessary alarm, were at once abandoned when danger became evident, and measures were immedi ately taken for the safety of the occupants. But the alarm of fire needs but little propaga gation by messengers. The trample and rush of hurrying feet and the roar of voices soon acqwainted every inhabitant of the building in the most distant apartments with the news that the hotel was on lire, and then the frantic rush and scramble for escape commenced. Owing to the early hour but a small portion of the guests had retired to their rooms, and hence there was not the crowd that there would have been had the lire occurred later in the night, but still the corridors and stair ways poured forth a throng of bewildered and affrighted people, that streamed down to the lower floors, while the building rang with the shouts of men and the screams of scared women and children. As far, however, as the loss of human life ; was concerned, there was but little danger: the fire was at this time only on the root' of the building, and there was no obstacle to '. prevent escape, and all the people succeeded in getting out in safety. There were several sick persons in the hotel, who were carried oat and conveyed to some of the houses in the vicinity. The alarm was conveyed to the Fire .Department from the Missouri engine house on Washington avenue, and the various en gines arrived without much delay. TJIE rnofSRESS OK THE KIKE. The engines, when they went to work, proved powerless to stay the progress of the flames. The great height of the building ren dered it almost impossible to throw water fairly on the roof, and even when this was accomplished it was of no avail, as it was evi dent the lire was spreading underneath where it could not be eached. The tiremen carried the hose through the hall and up the stairs towards the upper stories, hopiug to be able to play directly on the flames, but apparently were unable to do so, as no effect was per ceptible. The large tanks of water constructed mainly for such an emergency in the upper story of the hotel were also of no practical use. for what reason we could not learn, and in fact we could not ascertain that the elaborate sy lein 01 nose i-uuuctjuuus hi uie hotel was brought into use at all. Consequently the flames spread on au siaes wuu great lierce scbs and rapidity. A little before 10 o'clock they had seized uton the cupola in the centre of the root'. and completely enveloping the sides, made it resemble a twisted column of fire. Still, for nearly an hour the fire was confined to one section of the roof, and there were many who laughed at the idea that the whole building would be burned. It was a painful 6ight to watch the advance of the fiery de stroyer, and at the same time notice the utter tiselessness of the eli'orts made to retard it. Gradually the lire gathered in power and intensity, and spread itself abroad all over the roof. Volumes of inky smoke began to issue from the windows of the seventh story, and little ribbons of flame flap around the heavy cornices. About half-past 10 o'clock the whole top of the great hotel was on fire, but the llames were principally developed on the west and east sides of the building near the cornice. The conflagration at this point presented a most unusual appearance. rom the sixth story downward, the hotel presented its ordi nary aspect; the lights were still burning in the rooms, and there was neither flame nor emoke to be seen. But from thu broad plane of the roof rose up a pyramid of flame, roar ing and crackling with irresistible force and fury. The extension of the fire downward was gradual. On theKixth street side the flames ran down the elevator, and seemed on the third story, but their progress appeared to be glow. As they spread over the roof, the cor nices on the east and west sides commenced burning, and large fragments came thunder ing down on the streets, causing considerable danger to firemen and others. It is said that as early as half-past 0 o'clock the Chief of the Fire Department announced that the building could not be saved, but it was not for more than an hour after that that the,' fact became apparent to the spectators. The' lire then began to work downwards, and every moment gathered in fury. About half past 11 o'clock the flames were bursting through all the upper w indows. From room tti room they parsed; gathering strength every moment, until the whole building no longer on the roof, but in the interior, was a blazing pile of lire. The scene at this time was of a character which none who witnessed will ever forget. The huge buildinglooked likea vast fur nace burning with intolerable heat and fury. The countless windows gave insight to a whirling vortex of lire that streamed up with a wind like rushing sound, sweeping into the still midnight air a perfect avalanche of sparks and tiery particles that were scattered far and near, From the breaking cornice came showers of blazing fragments that strewed the streets with living lire; and every moment, from the inside of the building was heard the crash of breaking timbers and falling partitions. The sheets, as far as the eye could reach, were a dense mass of humanity; and the "sea of up turned faces," showing in the red glare, looked as if countless multitudes were watch ing some dreadful catastrophe which ap palled and all'.icted all. FALLING OK THE WALLS. At about 11 o'clock it became evident that some of the walls could not stand much longer, and the police commenced clearing a wider space on all sides around the burning building. The crowds swayed slowly back into the darker streets, and again pressed on the lines with upturned faces full of interest and wonderment. Now and then, at the falling and crashing of a floor or staircase, numbers were seized with a panic, and endeavored to rush away on a "double quick," but soon turned, and their gaze became again fastened in the scene with a sort of weird fascination. Pyramids of flame shot up from the roof to a great height; liery tongues lapped around the cornices, and volumes of devouring fire poured forth from every window in the vast edifice. The air was still, and huge clouds of dark smoke (in which shone millions of sparks, like golden stars) hung over the scene. At every crash a column of blacker smoke shot upward, soon to be painted by tho red glare. The excitement was great, and the people awaited with intense interest the crumbling of the walls, which seemed inevitable. The light rendered distinct the skeleton of the interior. 1'artition walls were falling every moment, and all was one grand illumination from the basement to (he roof. The Fire Wardens, fire men, and policemen flitted around in the im mediate vicinity like demons in the bottomless pit. So they appeared to the spectators in the streets and on the housetops. At length there was a great crash in the centre near the main entrance, which tilled the whole street (Washington avenue) with fire and smoke. There was a cry that the walls were falling. The whole east end on Sixth street, with a portion of Washington avenue front, swayed, toppled, and fell with a tremendous crash, which shook the buildings all around. This happened about 11 J o'clock. The inte rest was now concentrated on the Seventh street wall. It must soon succumb. Some of the back walls on the Green street side had already gone, and every particle of the wood work was rapidly being consumed. At about 12 o'clock the middle portion of the west wall crumbled down, a shapeless mass of ruins, and the Are now lighted up a scene of completed desolation. It was rumored that several persons had been lost by the falling of the Sixth street front, but we presume it was without founda tion, as the street had been effectually cleared of spectators half an hour previous to the crash of the wall. When we left the scene nearly the whole of the Washington avenue front was standing, but tho lire had consumed everything combustible about the building. About the last thing that remained was a pair of lace curtains, which fluttered in a tliml story window, on the Seventh street and Wash ington avenue corner, when everything else appeared to have been swept away. INCIDENTS. As might be expected, during the progress of the lire many curious and noteworthy incidents occurred. Thieves were, of course, on the ground, and plied their occupation actively. A number of arrests were made by the police, and not a lew scuttles, etc occurred. In the hasty removal of luggage and furni ture of all ki nds not a lew articles were lost SUPPOSED LOSS OF 11FE. It is not definitely ascertained that during the Troirress of the terrible coniiagration a sincle lite has linen lost. There were rumors on the subject, hut we could not trace them to anv authentic source. As the lire reached down to the lirst story, a number of explosions took place at intervals, whether from gas or caused by confined air, we do not know. It is said that when one of these explosions occurred, two men were throwing out goods from a second story win. dow near Sixth street, and that they disaiv peared immediately alter, but whether or not thev escaped we are unable to ascertain. It is indeed to be hoped that the greatness of the disaster is not to be still lurther in creased by being connected with loss of life, and we are happy to say at present there is no evidence that any occurred. LOSSES, INSURANCE, ETC, The losses by this fire will amount to between one million and a half and two mil lions of dollars. It is estimated that the hotel could not be rebuilt much under twelve hundred thousand dollars. There was an in. surance on the building of 310,000, mostly in local comyanies, but involving many of the prominent Intern Companies. The insurance is distributed in SfiOOO and $10,000 policies. the lumiture was insured for about $2.10,000 one-half its value.! We are not yet able to make out a list of the Insurance Companies Buiieimg uy me calamity. ine hotel property was owned by Edgar Antes and the representatives of Henry Ames, Buujeci iu a iieu oi ?z,)U,uuo, held by the lioat. men's having institution. Both interests will, we suppot-e, come out without much actual sacrifice, the loss to the former being on prospective profits. The injury by the lire to the property in the neighborhood, by teason of the depreciation of value, cannot be estimated, but it is no doubt very conside rable. It is difficult at present to estimate the exact loss occasioned by the fire, but including the property lost by persona havifg rooms at the hotel, and those occupying Rtores in the build ing, and also the value of the wines, groceries, and other stores destroyed in the cellars, tho aggregate amount must reach over one million and a half of dollars. The loss on the building is stated by a com petent authority at about $!00,(HK, and on the furniture between $ii0,000 and $:S(K,000. We did not learn the value of the property saved, but ifrmust form but an inconsiderable fraction of that destroyed. In the absence, however, of definite information, we postpone a detailed estimate of the total loss for the pret-ent. It is stated that there were about four hun dred guests in the hotel at the time of the fire. It is somewhat premature as yet to specu late as to whether the Lindell will ever rise from its ashes in its original splendor and beauty. The regret caused by the destruction is universal amonc our citizens nnd t1ir is a widespread desire to see it rebuilt. We heard yesterday not a few of our prominent citizens freely discuss the question, and the general conviction seemed to exist that ere long some uenniie pian would be set on foot towards re storing to our city the grand adornment con sumed by flames. e certainly hope such may be the case. There are few of our citizens w ho could view with satisfaction the broad snuare once occu pied by the stately Lindell devoted to paltry houses and stores. Should the edifice not be rebuilt, it is impossible to estimate to what extent property may depreciate in that section of the city, and the ellect on the community at large. A great deal of the iron work, etc., would lie available were the house to bo re built, and we heard it stated by a competent authority yesterday, that, with the material thus remaining, the foundation being intact, the hotel could be rebuilt for between 1U00,0(M and $700,1)00. This, however, is a question for those di rectly interested to determine, lire long we presume the enormous rums of the burned building which now disfigure one of our chief thoroughfares will disappear before the recu perative energy of our citizens. But whether the JiindeU rises again on its lormer sito or not, the great lire of the night of the 30th of March, 1Hp7, will never he lorgotten. It is sad to think of the dire havoc done in a single night of the grace and beauty ruined. But, coupled with such mislortunes, there is a teaching which goes to make the community wiser, and to insure against the recurrence of such a disaster in the future. 1-INAIMC1AL. fEW SIX PER CENT.
