Follnwinu are the particulars of the re cent (1oM motion hy fne and great loss of life in tlie Suit hem Hotel, St. Louis, f which brief mention was made in our news department last week : The Southern hotel occupied the square hounded by Walnut and Klin and Fourth and Fifih streets, and was the largos', and linest ;u the M i.-wisiiiiii valley. It was built of Alliens stune, closely resembling i marble, in he Ansilo Italian style, and was j . : . : . . t : i -pi f i:.ii ' bi. mim ics nin. ine lasn louauie pronie , nade extends alone t lie site of the building on Fourth stieet, on vxliicli are the h-adiug letnil stores.

Mr. lireslin, I the senior member if :he firm, is also the , propiietor of Hie (lilsey house, Si. .lame and Metropolitan hotels, of New Yoik. j M ssrs. liiehlin, Darling ii Co. leased the j Southern hotel of its owner, Uobert Cimp ' bell, of St. Louis, on the 1st of May a year 1 ago.

In refurnishing the. hotel special pains were taken to guard against lire. ! 1 lose connect ions -.vitii hydrants w ere on cveiy Hour.

An el' c tiic ti.te a'arm stretched its warning at ins intoeci nook and cranny of the house, , and an indicator in the office i;ave the , iilaim hen any pail, of the building was ovei --ln-aied. Theie weie entrances to ihe hoiel on the ground Hoor from every st re t . and a spacious, high tiled vestibule or lob by, exi ended fimii fiont to rear of the lirst j lioor. i The hotel was the favoiite resort of fash i ioiiiililc eople, and, in respect to its pa , tionaoe. stood iini.il to any in the count i v. ; It was hoie thai Governor lleudiicks had I his In (Sqnaili is vhen in St. Iotiis during t Ihe dasl la in pa io ii.

The fiie spiead j rapidlv, Oiling evci loom and hall with ! ti.inii s and smoke, and tin.: scene was of the most leiiibh- der'cript ion. I' l.iiiin men. wi'inou ai.d children ran : through tin- balls shiiikiug in the most! hcait-ic tiding in inner in their w ild and j desperate ethuts to csc'pe. The smoke j was so dense in some of tlie hails that the j j,ts ids were extinguished, which icndci- (l I'firw even to those most, familiar wii h , the building a matter of great difficulty. I Sin iekmg it. en and women awakened li'of.i t lipir sh-ip tiy tin terrible cry of lire and almost si.l'i. -aicd by liie dense smoke as it fi.iod its way thioiigli ihe halis and reudeied exit iy them exiiemely haZind ous, if not impossible titsheil to the w in dows. and thiowi.ig them ojen, ci ied in agonized tones i'm help. Those in th-; siieela t-ou'd see, but conld lender no as sisiai ce luithei than to cry, '"Hold i n ; hoid on. Don't jump. We'll try and get thenioui." The hook and iadder wasoii eatne. but '.here was seeiiiiuglv an inleiui inable h lay in getting to work, thespeela- tors partook of Ihe prevailing excil eiiu-ui and it seemed as though the dep:iittnent was without its usual efficiency, and that assistauce would never b-,' leudeied. The poor creatines hanging from the U.per windows couiiniicd their ci ies, which smote upon the ears of I heir helpless hear ers below with such force as can better be iiiiaojtied than di sc. ibed. Allist, when it seemed as though Ihe Harries had gained almost full possession of the sixth stoty, the ladders were brought into icipl isil ion ; but they were far too shoit, the lougestKitateely reaching beyond the loiiith Hoor. Ihe cties of "Help! Help!" as they tang foi t h from all sides, seemed to paralyze Ihe fiietncn as well as the others who weio lookeis on. Some one wiih a cool head suggested that the longest ladders be raised io the top of the Walnut stiret verandah, which would have the effect of lengthening them by two stoi ies. This was done, and by il many were saved. Meanwhile sheds and blankets began to float from window-son the various sides of the building, many of them tied together, but none of them making a rope of suffi cient length to reach a safe landing, though tvo men and one woman in the sixlh story descended these perilous strands and suc ceeded in swinging themselves into fifth story window's, thus inci easing their chan ces of rescue. TIIK KttlST VICTIM. Ore of Ihe first men lo reach Ihe ladder; on the Walnut Hi iect side was t;co. Frank I (Jouley, grand secretary of the Masonic ; fraternity in Missouri He hud to descend a knotted rope of blankets from the sixth te the fifth story. He had not passed more than a half dozen round when he reeled and fell, his skull being crushed by strik ing a c irnice, and both l"gs being broken, producing instant death. AN IN SAN K KFPOIST.

Ik aliriuo his lei i iblep osition he euduav- oied to climb back, but ihe eflort to raise himself was vain, ami after a dcspeiatc struggle of three minutes he shrieked ''Let go !" and fell, w itn every bone crushed. A FATAL I.K.AP. Another man appeared at an adjoining window in his tiight attire and fiautically called out, "What shall I do?M The Haines weio leaping all about him and seemed ready lo envelope and con sume him. Jump!'' "Jump '." answered back a dozen Ihroa's. The man looked down at the pavement, as if hesitating what to do, but the scorching Hames were closing in on him fast and he bounded from the window, turning over twice and whirling to the ston-s below, st l iking on h is shoulders and j head. He w as immediately picked op and i carried into an adjoining saloon, and lived long enough that his name was J. L. Stev- . viis, when he immediately expired. j Two other faces soon appeared al the ' window from which he bail jumped, but j the 11. ones and stnok'i closed them fiom view almost instantly and left no doubt of : the awful fate that befell them. ! A flKNKHAI, UIXIK. j On the Yah.ut street portico, for five or I ten minutes before the hook and ladder company lent any aid lothcm, weieacrowd of at least r.evtnty-ti ve men and women. ; The men were shrieking constantly for help, and the women kept crying out con- ' itantly, r.dtling considerably to the ter- ror of the others. Ladders, were asked for, j but. for si-ver.il minutes no l.uldeis weie in siht. At length one ladder was brought i on ami placed up against the portico, and tin re w as a genei a 1 i ush for it. The htd ies J in their tlishabilie weie first allowed to de scend, sifter which t lie gentlemen, having j rid themselves of t heir valise anil other Ml pel Miotics. The ladiifc were then taken to the saloons opposite and provided foi as best c uld be. j Tut: occi'i'AXTs or t:ik top story. i For the people in ihe top stoiy there seemed to :o '.he greatest sympathy, and he dllatoi iness id the tile depart incut was , loudly and generally dcpi t c.iatcd. Ihe ' men anil wmicn above seeing that the ef j foi ts made for their rescue weie being J made in vain determined to do as much ns ; possible lo.vaid seeuiiug their lives, and I there was iiccoi d ingly a general piccipila- tion of bedding from the windows, as if j the poor cieatmes desiud to make as soil I a bed as possible for ihtmselves in the face I of death. The top stories were during lh:s I time now and then lit npwiih a glow of I flame from inside, and again w holly en ! vcloped in clouds ot" smoke issuing fiom the various w indows. The men and women who had been taken fiotll ihe portico hy 1 " eieu M.uide m sueng.u oi "ilnd to go out, and pointed out 1 1 ant ically I hose a Ikuu they suspected were still en- i tiapped above and wailing for assistance. I hell the ladder was at length placed ill ' position ami found too short lo be of any ! aval! their whs a general outcry for a rope. I Those in tin? street, kept shouting out to those above "I la veii't J ou got a lope. ?"' and those above as wed kepi eiyuig lor a rope. When the ladder was placed in posdlon, jnid the nni-e.-sil ies ,if the sit nation tiioiouithly understood, a couple of firemen rushed up to tin- top louiios and lluew a coil of rope lithe jiople in the tilth stoiv windows. The rope was eanglit and was fastened to the iron pillar running down the Center of the window. The smoke cleared away for a moment. The sits; ense in the c.ovd was intense, Kvetv body was intent upon what would occur next. Would they 4 e able to reach the ladder"? was the general ijuesiioii. as lew understood the lope es cape which had been provided. UKOINNINO TIIK IJ!CKNT.

A I. AST KAlllJAVICl.li. A most pathetic scene was witnessed by many of ihe spcciatois on the Fourib street side, just as the danger appeared most imminent. In the tilth story w indow, upon a background of lurid Maine, might be. seen Ihe pioiilct of a man and woman t-baking hands and taking a last farewell of each oilier.

At thlTO o'clock the scene was hinrible and thiilliug iu the extreme.

Josephus Allen was a cooper. He hud a little i-hop in the onlshiits f the village, where he shaved and thumped away cmiy and late. A nmie honest man never lived or at least, he was as honest hs mail need be. lie owned a u-spectiihle dwelling and a few acres of land, and he kept a iig and Botne hens, and a cow, this brute protH-ity butler so fiesli and so yellow. "This is Mrs. Josephns Al'eu's poik." 'This is Mis. Josephns Allen s butter. "Mrs, Jo scphus Allen brought these eggs in." Lvt the shop-keeper thus announce, and the things were bought in, mediately. And Josephus himself occupied a place equally turn hi th? confidence of his leooAs. Mis word was as good as his bond, and his work was in demand. One spring Josephus met with a sad misfortune. His cow broke her leg bloke I it so badly that mending was out of the ' J question. What should he do for another I cow ? "You must go and buy one," sai.1 his wife. "Hut cows must be high at this season." 'Never mind. A cow we must have. You oiioht to get a gitod one foi fifteen dollars a good new milch cow." "Ah but thelifteen dollars. Mis. A Ten.' "I can ht you have ten doll. us of it ten dollars that. I have laid up fiom the sale of butter and eggs." Thus fm nislicd atiIi the "sinews" of trade, Josephus started forth in seaieh of a cow, and after tramping a whole day w it bout finding what he nuhT, he finally brought up at Mr. John l'ot man's. He had seen many just; such cows as he want ed, but they were not to be bought. He had thus far avoided Mr. l'otmati, because he bad ho very good opinion of that indi vidual's honesty. In fact he knew that John Potman wasa man whoehea'ed when he could. lJut he concluded to lake a look at. Pot man's stock, ti listing that be knew enough About cows to lake care of himself. John Potman was a farmer, and did con siderable business in buying and selling cattle, and he also loaned money to needy men at cxoibiant rates of interest. He took no mortgages for secuiity. When be loaned money, be wanted a l ight-out-bili-of-sa'.e of some good propel ty, and t bus did much stock, iu hones, oxen and cows, fall into his hands. It was in the morning- when Josephus called upon Mr. Potman, and when he hail made known his want, he was inhumed t hat he had just come in t he "nick of t imc." I've got just exactly the animal you want," said the stock-'. rader "a fine, large cow, healthy and strong ; kind mid gentle; an easy milker; with cif three weeks old. I took her only a few days agi for a debt. Come and look at her. Josephus followed Mr. Potman to the barn wheie the cow v. ns pointid out. Sim apeared to be all that had been lcprcscnt ed. She had a large, good fianie, .-iiid was in respectable fiesb. The udder w as ample and Josephus tried tlie teats and found that Ihey yielded the miik freely. "Of course," said Potman, "thcie's no trilk now, for the calf has taken what be wanted, and the women folks have gut the i est. lint, you can see .vh.it she is. Did you e ver see a bettei bag ?" "How much milk docs the give?" asked Josephus. "1 haven't hid a chance to find out ex nelly, replied Potman. '-I'veonly h id her a few days, and the calf has inn with her all the time ; but the man that I got her of told me she would give nii.au average twelve quaits at a milking in the height of feed, il I hadn't aheaily mote stock than 1 can feed. I wouldn't sell her at any price. Just look at that caif. Isn't she a beauty'.'" Josephus w as inclined to tlie opinion that this was the ct'w he wanted. "She can't be veiy old," be said, looking at tbe rings on the horns, where the glow th of e;.ch year is maiked. "The man said she w as eight years ohl," r plied Potman, "and 1 shouldn't call her much younger. I guess she's eight." .losi pints walked around the cow a several times, ami finally aske.1 her price. "1 ought to have twenty clollais, Mr. Al len. She's win th i: eveiy cent." Josephus shook his head. lie could not It l C II .1 ; pay so much lor a cow. I neu loiioweu a I long discussion upon the vaiue i f Mich an I animal ; and finally Potman gr w geneic.us. H let I he co.v go for fifteen dollars, though w tilt seemingly painful teJuclaiice. Jose phus paid the money, and drove ll.e cow home. He d:d not want the Calf, so that night he sold il to a neighbor, who wanted il to male one that he alii ndy owned. On tlie following moining the cow was milked and thetu tin lied into this pasture. The quantity of milk given on thisinoni ing was retnat kabiy stnail ; but then it was not to be wotulen i at. I he cow piobably missed her caif. and bad calm nothing. Vl night, however, alter ciopping l be mi der grass allday. she would besmc toive a ".mil account of heiscll.
