FALL OF A HOTEL.
ART OF THE PARK CENTRAL HOUSE,
IN HARTFORD, IN RUINS.
THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT UN-
ENOWN—TWENTY-NINE BODIES
RECOVERED —10 DEAD,
10 INJURED,
HarTronp, Conn., Feb, 18.—The
shock of a tremendous explosion awoke
the residents for blocks around the
corner of Iligh and Allyn streets, at
about 5 o'clock this morning. On that
corner stood the ’ark Central Hotel, a
five story biick structure, about 30
feet front and 100 feet deep. The first
to arrive on the scene found this build-
ing a heap of ruins, from which 1ssued
smoke and steam in dense clouds, and
the spectators were appalied by the
shrieks and groans of many human be.
ings who were Imprisoned in the mass
of timber and masonry, from which
flames were already bursting.
A general alarm immediately sum-
moned the entire Fire Department,
and an immense crowd, attracted by
the explosion and the fire alarm, soon
packed the streets in the vicinity. At
first the fire and smoke entirely pre-
vented any attempt to rescue the
victims, and it was not unt!l a flood of
water had been poured upon the ruins
that the work could be prosecuted, A
few dead or dying persons were taken
from the edge of the debris, however,
within an hour after the explosion.
The force of the explosion threw a
bed with a sleeping woman upon it far
into the street, while one of the heavy
doors of the house landed a block
away. By 9 o'clock the flames were so
far subdued that the rescuers were able
lo get at some of the victims, Some
were pinned beneath heavy timbers
upon whieh rested masses of masonry,
rendering the work of rescue extremely
hazardous.
The catastrophe is generally supposed
to have been caused by the explosion of
the boiler, although some doubt has
building bad been popularly supposed
to be nusafe. It was built on *made
ground,
The hotel was built about 15 years
#go, and cost, with furniture, $120,000,
The soll was soft, and, although the
building was carefully built, it soon
settled badly. About five years ago
Mr. Ketchum took the lease, and
renovated and refurnished the house.
Insurance is $38,000,
It 1s stated tnat no fragment of the
boiler has yet been found, which mill-
tates against the theory of a boiler ex-

Soon afterward Walter Gay, New

The dead body of J. C. Hall, a com-
merclal traveller, has also been taken
out. It may nelp to locate him to
state that he has been travelling of

Colton. IIis name was ascertained by
the mark on his night shirt,
Daniel Morrison, brakeman, and
Fred. Haines, flagman, on the New
England Railroad, had rooms in the
building, and are undoubtedly buried
in the ruins,
No additional dead bodies have yet
been recovered,
The force of the explosion shattered
all the glass in buildings adjoining and
opposite Lhe hotel, and broke windows
a block away. Its cause is still a mys-
tery, as it will take some time to
uacover the boiler,
Mrs. Frank Wesson and children
are reported to be in the ruins, Noth-
ing tangible to substantiate or dispute
the rumor can be found here,

and the physicians refuse to allow them
to be interviewed. They were ail
asleep when the accident occurred, and
of course, know nothing except the
horrors of their imprisonment and
their almost miraculous escape.
The cause of the disaster was un-
doubtedly the explosion of the boiler in
the basemen... It was of 16-horse
power, buit by Pitkin, of Hartford, in
1852, and was luspected and approved
last August by the Hartford Steam
Boiler Inspection Company. The
engineer g es away at midnight, bank-
ing the fires. He has been arrested on
# charge of manslaughter. Ilis name

It is conjectured that Gaines, the
porier, may bave started the pumps

cold water into an overheated boller,
bet as be is dead no light 18 likely to
be thrown upon this subject. The
shock was felt all over the city, Win.
dows for a block around were mashed.
Out of the 50 inmates of the hotel
it is thought five may have escaped
unhurt immediately, leaving 45 to be
accounted for,
