frmtKt Chicago Republican of Saturday.
Chicago has once more become the subject of
a devastating conflagration, tbat terror to all,
the Fire King, having, visited the heart of tbe
city, lajing waste one of the flaent hotels of
which our fair city once could boast. Tbe alarm
was first given from box No. 8, about 7 o'clock
jfBterdav moiuinjr. The fire department was at
nee on the qui vtve, and those engines within
tbe l-trict fur which the alrirm was i?lven, were
very foon on the ground and at work. The fire
proved to be in tbe basement of tbe Merchants'
Hotel, situated at tbe corner of Washington and
State street. The flames had reached an as
cendancy alarming in Use 1 1 before a single
stream was piaviDg upon them, and it was
deemed advisable to repeat tbe alarm
calling forth the enure fire depart
ment of the city. In a short time the two great
thoroughfares Washington and State sireei9,
were throneea with people, and amid the great
tonrouKe were running to aud fro steamers.
truc ks, and venicieg oi an aescnpiions, crcuung
a pertect chaos. The seething, crackling flames
were bursting from every window above the
vain entrance to the building on State street,
and all hope for the salety of the hundred or
more occupants seemed to be abandoned. Tbe
taircase was one vast hbeetoi flame, and jet
there was no help for the terror-tncken p?ople
within. Everv wicdow in the large structure
was crowded with anxious luces, denoting by
their frenzied appearance a firm determination
to jump for life should tbe fire reach them and
compel their retreat. A few mlnuteB morp, and
several engines were at work, tuelr spasmodic
pulling and the strenuous cxeitions of the fire
wen giving hope to many whom despair had
rendu ed almost powerless.
iJE ALARM AND STAMTEDE,
At this early hour in the morning, it is to be
supposed tbat n any of the occupants of the
hotel were yet in bed. The breakfast-table had
just been surrounded by the boarders, and the
tempting viands spread out belore them were
being rapidly devoured. A cry of fire lrora toe
street below served only to attract attention at
first, but when some startled persona in the
dining-hall rose liom their seats terrified by the
alarm which was repeated by scores of terrified
individuals, the intenseet excitement ensued.
Servants, with orders yet unfulfilled, came in
collision with retreating guests, and every
avenue of escape was sought lor by the bewil
dered crowd. The dminsr-room is ciiuaced
directly over the store of Afeesrs. Rice & Allen,
and it is in the Crosby Music Hall buildincr, con
necting with the Merchants' Hotel by several
- ou tbe south ejoY. From the breukfa-t-dooi.
"U6 mothers ran for their children,

who were still in V(J BU(1 valuables, draseed
tlemen, with triiLj. , aQWQ the Bll)r8 The
their loads behind theu. , Great prespnce of
utmost confusion prevailed. ol manv hllt
mind was exhibited on tbe p.". D' Df
totaVinaDility to move a muscle or m M. " . "V
lable was the condition of more. The
presented from the streets was heart re n.Hr
tbe extreme. From the wlndo ws of the h.fa u"
BKnesof the building, looking down upon i.,B
wainor hnnie lar beneath them, were numnr-
rous persons who had just arisen lrora tbeir beds,
Many ot them being transient guests, ignorant
cf the (.ituation. and not knowing which way to
turn, looking wildly about them, iruuliring for
help. Tbe flames soon enveloped the stairway
leadine from the State street entrance, thus cut
ting off all means of retreat in tbat direction.
The dense smote drove Dark the more daring
persons who persisted in getting one by pushing
their way through the seething fire, step by
tep down the rickety st'isrcase, and then a rush
was made for another door.
KESCCED AND EPCATED.
The greatest exertion was made to tive the
inmates of the rooms in the upper stories a
better opportunity for escape than was atl'orded
by the stairways. By dint of great exertion on
the part of the firemen and others, several lad
ders were placed against the sides of the build
ing, and down tuesc a great many ciaraocrea,
thus, doubtless, saving their lives, In a win
dow of the fourth story lacing on State street, a
xnan was seen in his shirt-s'ieevcs looking into
the street, and apparently unable to make auy
exertion to escape. He maintained ono posture,
that of balancing himself on his hands, as if in
the act of leaping. A ladder was procured and
raised to the window below him, but at a distance
' from him too great to admit of his reaching it.
The greatest anxiety prevailed among ttiose who
noticed the leopardy of the man, and many were
the suggestions made for the best manner of
giving him aid. Finally a rope was thrown
over the roof of the building by a fireman, and
catching hold of It, the gentleman managed to
lower Himself to the first round of the ladder.
From this elevation he slowly descended, land
ing on terra firma in safety. Mr. James Oram,
a member of Hook aid Ladder Company No. 1,
with heroic eftort rescued the wife of Dr.
Thomas T. Ellis, who must otherwise have
perished in the flames. From a third-
story window, facing on the alley between
the hotel and CrodOy's Opera-House, the noble
fpllftW f-nrriPft (ho lurlv In l.in Dim. urirK
one hand guiding his way, he made the perilous
descent down the ladder. The- lives of two
men, wbo were in the rooms on the fourth story,
were also saved bv the darlni? wn. a Mr.
Hurlbut, commission merchant, who roomed in
. one of the highest etorie?, barely escaped with
bis life. He was aroused by the strong scent of
me suipuurous smote, ana making his way to
bis rocm aoor, dashed out and t branch th hall.
OT. . TT A 1 1 " . :
B-uucmnii occupying a room directly
opposite to htm, met him as he made his exit,
and hurriedly asked which direction to take in
?rit0. cft1.t0 he stairway. Mr. Hurlbut
told him to follow, and he did so, but between
the intervening flames and clouds of smoke he
lost bight oi him. Hushing to the head of tue
stairs, Mr. Hurlbut found there a barrier to
further eirort to reach the street. Hotulug
daunted, he pushed onward through scorching
tire and smothering smoke. Recollecting that
once upou a time he bad read that to retain
one a breath is a preventive of eullocation, ho
abided by the Instruction, aud coutinued on his
ourse. Once he gloried in long, glossy locks
of hair, but now he is singed aud blackened
minus his hirsute beauty. Other interesting
particulars of the rescue hnd escape of persons
there are connected with this great r,onrtu"va
tion, and we regret that we have nut space u
which to relate them.
THB DESTRUCTION.
Once under full headway, the Are spread over
the entire building, and from every window the
flames licked the wans, aartiug lortu lrom the
great columns of smoke ascending upward, it
was feared at one time that the Opera-House
would catchfl fire, the names at limes com
uletelv envelounier the eastern portion of it.
Iron shutters were brought into requisition and
placed on the interior of the windows, so as to
Drevent urnUion. as ever and anon it lurid gleam
lapping itself about the wall, threatened total
destruction in it swuv. Tbroueb the noble
conduct of tbe tire brigade, the Opera-Housn
was saved, however, and it is believed sustained
very little damane. The Art Gallery was not
Injured in the slightest aecree, and not a
eingle picture was removed from its hang-
, lasr. The eastern wall of the Merchants'
Hotel is Inclined towards the ODera-House,
leaning over the alley in h threatening
manner, and props have been placed between
the two buildings to prevent its falling. The
wuuie interior portion of the building is one

One young ludy, who occupied a suit of

Another lady, aunt to the one lust mentioned,
who had a room in another portion of the build

shawl over her Fhonlders, and holding in one
band a bottle of "tozodont,and in the other an
album.
Mr. A. C, Appleby, who had occupied room'

smoke, ran for bis shirt, in which were three
diamond studs. Takmcr out one of them he
placed it in bis mmi h, and throwing the article

other two studs in it, he ran out of his room.
Having reached tbe sidewalk, he vainly searched
for bis shirt and studs, but could not find them.
Through the eirort s oi the police, it was eventu
ally discovered. The studs were valued at $2000.
