BIG FIRE OX LIZEKXE STKEET
Destroyed a Large Hotel Building and
Dudly Dumugcd u prlvute Dwelling,
lunerul of John I. Williams, of
Decker's Court -Other News.
The three-story hotel on Luzerne
treet owned by William Deckllnlek
and rented by Robert Alexander, was
destroyed by tire about 1.43 o'clock yes
terday morning-, and the three-story
double dwelling house adjoining suf
fered considerable damage from the
flames. An alarm was tinned in at
box 35 by Officer Ounell as the Colum
bia company was leaving; the hose
house. The Franklin company came
up a few minutes later. As only one
hydrant could be used. Chief F'erber
had a twin coupling- put on and two
streams were secured. A second alarm
rvnlch was sounded brought out the
Hook and Ladder company. The lire
could be fought only with the greatest
difficulty, as the two buildings were
peculiarly situated. The ladders were
placed on all sides and the work began
in earnest. Water was poured into the
houses from the nozzles of the pipes.
but It took two or three hours hard
work before the flames were controlled.
The coats of the firemen were coated
with Ice -end they worked under the
greatest difficulties. Assistant Chief
Hall was overcome by the dense smoke,
but the fresh air soon revived him.
when Mr. Alexander and hts family
were awakened they were compelled to
flee with hardly any, clothing save
what they could grasp. Of their valu
able furniture they saved nothing. Mr.
Flrestlne, who resided In the dwelling,
saved some of his furniture from the
first and second stories. He owned the
part of the building la which he re
sided and carried an Insurance of $1,500
on the house and $o00 on the furniture.
The hotel and home of Mr. Alexander
were owned by Mr. Deckllnlek, the
former structure being insured for
$2,500. The total loss will probably
reach $8,000. Other buildings near by
were scorched, but "beyond this no
damage was done.

the proprietors of such valuable reme
