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

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.
