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

years, of Kellottville.

and KellotUillo.

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

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.
