Miles A Armstrong. li Tho niORt horrifying catastrophe that has over been known in Forest county occurred on Sunday morning last at Kel lottville, on Tionesta creek, fifteen miles east of this place, when the Brooklyn House, a two-and-a-half-story building, burnod, and with it three human bolngs. The dead aro MISS KATIE M. MILLER, aged 21 years, of Kellottville. ANDREW SA1-SOIVER, aged about 28 years, mail carrier between Tionesla and KellotUillo. PROF. HENRY TUCKER, aged 05 years, a traveling magician, residence Cincinnati. Those more or Iors injured by burns and by jumping out of tho windows aro Miss Emma Riser, who is teacher in one of the schools and boarded at tho hotel. She was severely burned about the face and hands, though not thought to be dangerously so. She, with Miss Bannett, daughter of the hotel proprie tor, Jumped out of the second story win dow, and was first reported to be injured by the fall, but that was Incorrect. Her loft hand is the most severely burned, but her physicians fool conlldont she will come out of her trouble In good condi tion, and very fow marks of the firo will be left. Seven men were asleep on tho third floor or attic, besides Salsgivcr, all of whom had to Jump a distance of 20 font to save their livss. Among them were, Clem Berlin, arms cut and burnco j Mark Wilson, burned and anklo sprainod ; Horton Albaugh, left hand burned ; Frank Weston severely burned; Wayne Kelly, burned and noso badly bruised In falling ; a traveling watch maker from Warren, ankl-1 hnrt. Nono of these are seriously injured, and all will recover without much difficulty. When the fire was first discovered, tho hall on the second flloor, where it is sup posed to have started, was ono mass of flames, cutting off every avenue of es cape from both the second and third floors, except through the windows. Tho building was of rough luinbor, double boarded tnd burnt like tinder. Chas. Bankhead, who had boon stopping there for some weeks, was first to waken, and he lost no time in giving tho alarm. Ho opened his door, but was obliged to close it instantly, which be did with difficulty, the flamos bursting In and creating a heavy draft. His cries and pounding on tho walls of his room aroused others, who in turn awakened thoir comrades, so that all except the three doomed victims, there being 19 persons in the house at tho time, escaped alive. But for Mr. Bank head's thoughtful, prompt and persistent efforts doubtless all on tho second and third floor would have porished In-tho flamos. SUPPOSED ORIGIN OF FIRK. Very few theories have been advanced as the origin of the Are, and those are mere conjectures. At first it was thought the flames were started by the explosion of a lamp In tho room occupied by the old contleman. Tucker, who was said to haye been sufforing with toothache and was using hot applications, but this It Booms was a night or two previons.and It is said he went to bed on Saturday night feeling well. His was tho only sleeping apartment from which never a sound or domonst'ation was heard to come. Anothor conjecture Is that a lamp in the hallway exploded, but all who seem to know anything about it unite in saying the hall lamp was not lit when the last of the guests retired. A lighted match thoughtlessly thrown on the hall carpot may have smouldered for a time and then burst into flames'. Still all is conjecture, and the real origin may never bo known. It is not known whether Mr. Tucker was awake when the fire enveloped him. Ilis remains, a mere haudfull of bones, burned almost to ashes, together with those of Andrew Salsgiver, in the same condition, wore found In tho small ex cavation under the building used as a cellar. They were takon out and placed in small paper shoe boxes for the time being, to await proper burial. The body of Miss Kate Miller was found in the ruins when tho fire had suf ficiently died away to admit of search. It was conveyed to the house of a neigh bor and prepared for burial. Tho lower limbs wore entirely burned off and the trunk was burned in two at tho waist. Miss Kiser, Miss Bennett and Miss Miller were sleeping in the same room, the two former occupying tlie saino bed. Miss Kiser says she doti't know how she was awakened, biit succeeded in awaken ing Miss Bennett and then, supposing the only way of escape was through the hall, opened tho door and before sho could close it, was burned as indicated. Bv tliis time Miss Bennett had succeeded in getting the window open, but they could not arouse Miss Miller, and were obliged to leap for their lives. It is doubtful whether Bhe awakened, and probably never realized her awful fate. Andrew Salssiver was sleeping in the third story in the same room with Mark Wilson, who says they both awakened and got out of tlisir beds about the same t'me. Wilson loapod out of tho window and told Andy to follow him. When small bov. Andy was accidentally shot from the effects of which ho was partially paralyzed. He came to tlie window and callod for a ladder. Ono was finally pro cured but it was too into, tho Toom ho oc cupied being by this timo entirely envcl oped iu flame. But in tho meantime the crowd which had gathered, horrified and excited, begged him to let himself fall the out taking chances on being killed rather thuii certain death by burning. The poor young man was about the only suppor of a widowed mother, lor whom ho did the bast he could in the way of providing for lier wants. Ilis remains wcro buried in Riverside cemetery yesterday at :!:IMI p. m.

Sho came over as soon as si hiianl Unlawful news of her lather's dcall, and yesloiday placed iu their last rcslin nlace the remains of iiim ho was li last blood rulutiou iu tho world. A wet ago last Thursday the aged parent left her homo iu good spirits and lair lualih, no doubt little thinking it would be their last meeting on earth Everything In the building was burn ed, the inmates being obliged to leave all their pessimal effects bohlnd. The pro prietor of t!in hotel, Hiram I,. Bennett, loses all his property, having no insur ance. Tho dwelling lnue of Harry B. Dot tcier, adjoining tlie hotel, and one of the best in tho place, was entirely consumed, together with much of his household goods. The loss falls heavily upon Mr. Dotlerer, he having no Insurance on his property, and will amount to upward of a thousand dollars. Bert Day's dwell! ng next to Mr. Dotteror's, was considorora iily damaged, but did not burn. Ho had some insurance. Tho lire is supposed to have started shortly after two o'clock in the morning. Andrew Salsgiver's watch was found in in the debris and had stopped at 2:35. Olher watches and jewo'.ry wore lost, but littlo had been recovered at last accounts. Miss Riser's personal loss in wearing Bp parol, watch, chain, etc , will amount to $100 or upward. The people of Kollett- villo, amidst all tno horror of this torrible affair, lought nobly to Bave what they could, and willing hands cared for the injured and destrossod in a manner that is touching to the hearts of all. Dr. De bir, tho only physician in the vicinity, did his best to alleviate the pain of those Injured and did his part well. On Saturday evening a box social had been held in Kellottville, which had been a most decided success, botli socially and financially, the proceeds, something over ?20, having boon intended for the purchase of a boll for tho school houso. This pleasant event is what brought Miss Miller from a neighbor's home, about milo from Kellottville. to town, and is how sho happoned to bo stopping at the Ill-fated hotel. This appalling affair has cast a deep gloom not only over the community around Kellottville, but throughout the entire county as ' 'I. Our people littlo dreamed tliattw calamlly could over take them and are shocked at its awful- ness. Sinccrest sympathy is expressed on all sides for those who suffered by the disaster. Coroner J. W. Morrow went to the sceno pn Sunday, and alter viewing the situation and consul' ing with those most directly Interested as well as the citizen generally, decided that tho holding ol an inuuest was unnecessary and could de velop nothing not already known. FUNKKAL OF MISS MILLKR. The remains of Katie Miller were given burial in tho Catholic cemetery at Fry burg, Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Miss Miller enjoyed a wido circle of friends. Nono in any community was morn popular than she, and her wid popularity was fully deserved. Beautiful in form and feature, she was so In char acter. One can put much in few word sometimes, and much is put into the few words above spoken In compliment to tho dead girl. Many made tho romar that she had never looked better seemed brighter and happier than on the ovening of her tragic deutli. And the frionds who said good-byo with her on that Ill-Ntai rod night will, with sad hearts, carry the memory of a pleasant laugh, cheery words, and a beautiful face al ways. The farmers se.
