suspicions were aroused that all was net

Sligblly-Sem Narrow fcMapta,
Bun-Ai.e, N. Y., March 111. Little can be
added this morning te that already known of
the result of the disastrous Richmond hotel
lire el yesterday morning. Te the question
el "Hew many are killed V only an Indefinite
reply can be made. The number actually
known te be dead and missing Is nine, but
ten mere el the survivors, new ledged at
the hospitals and at their homes, must be
looked upon as precarleua,and ttme only will
decide whether they are te be numbered with
the living or the dead.
The survh Ing victims, whose nsmes fellow
in the hospital list sre mere or less prostrated
by the sbockerthedlsaster, from which some
will rally who have vigorous constitutions.
But could one see the suQerers swathed in
lint and cotton bandages, meaning with the
Intense sgeny el their scorched and calcined
flesh, he would number the horrors of the
fire at a greater total than the death list
Every one who wss burned by the Intense
beat, If bis skin wss net actually licked by
'the llames, hss suffered by exposure te tbe
air after the burning. Before tbe physicians
could dress tbe wounds they had begun te
swell snd blister, and In slloasessuppuratlen
Is fesred, while with many It is inevitable.
Heme will lese the flesh from their bands snd
feet snd amputation will be unavoidable. If
pyaemia does net then ensue It will be miracu
lous. The critical condition or many victims Is,
therefore, alarming and despite the most
careful nursing snd painstaking surgical at
tendance several of tbe hospital patients, It is
feared, will die. At the present writing it is
impossible te gauge the fatality or. this holo
caust, but It no mere than twenty It can be
hardly less than twelve.

WinUS 1UNDKR TUX VIRRMEN,
Mr. Rebert U. Stafferd, tbe senior propri
etor et the hotel, gives tbe follewlngacoount
of the origin and progress of tbe fire ss re
lated te him by his empleyes. Ssld hs : "As
te the origin of the Ore, sit I can give is from
my night maa; that Is.that the lire started la
tbe cloak room. There were two palls of
wster en a shelf en each fleer el tbe eleva
tors, which tbey need en the Are at tbe
start, but it. did net have tbe effect of
putting It out There waa also a stand
pipe running into the fifth fleer. On
each fleer waa attached 100 feet of
hose. Tbe statement that the water would
net run la erroneous. The boss would
threw water 60 leet above the build Ing. Tbe
fire was se near the elevator thai It was Im
possible te use 100 feet of hose without get:
ting kinks In it and these kinks, in my
opinion, prevented the flew el water.
Wbea Night Clerk Alpert found that the
hose would net work be pulled the Are
alarm system of bells which connected with
every room in tbe boese. Tbeu be rang In
an alarm te headquarters. While the fire waa
progressing, guests were making their es
cape and many came down the stairways
We supposed we bad the most perleet
arrangement in the case of Are, and I think
that the Richmond was as safe as any hotel
net built flreproel." Mr. Stafferd strongly
condemned tbe network of wires that sur
rounded tbe hotel which, be ssys, prevented
the ladders from saving a great many from
thewlndowawhe were otherwise forced te
flee through the flames.
EIOllT KILLBD AND 25SXnt0CHLT INJURED.

yesterdsy needa only the Utter details te-dsy

Eight persons were killed. Twenty-five
were seriously Injured. Fifteen were slightiy
hurt The ruins have net at this writing been
searched. What bidden aterlea or additional 1
misery and less et Ills these piles or smoking
debris will reveal, no human Intelligence can
foresee. The shaky wall will be thrown to
day and search will begin."
At 1130 o'clock a body baa Just been taken
from tbe rums, supposed te be that of Mark
Osberne, the day clerk.
