New York, March 20. — Flames
which originated from the igniting of
a lace curtain, burst forth from trie sec
ond floor of the Windsor hotel, at Forty-
seventh stieet and Fifth avenue, short­
ly after 3 o’clock this afternoon, just
as the St. Patrick’s day parade was pas-
sing tiie building, and in a few mo
ments they had leaped to the root and
enveloped the entire Eifth-avenue and
Forty-seventh street fronts of the hotel.
Ten minutes later the flames were roar­
ing through the interior of the hotel
and all escape by means of the stair
ways and elevators was c u t off.
There was the wildest scene ol ezcite
ment within ami without tbe building
Hundreds of guests and employes were
in the hotel when the fire broke out,
and for many of them to esca[>e with
safety was impossible. Probably 15
lives were lost within a half hour, and
45 or 50 persons were injured in jump­
ing from windows and in rushing
through the roaring flames in tiie cor­
ridors and stairways. Many who were
injured died later in nearby residences
and at hospitals, and others who made
wild leaps to the stone sidewalk were
so badly injured that they are still
hovering between life and death. It
may Ire 24 hours or mote before the
complete list of fatalities becomes
known, and it will be longer than that
before it can b e ascertained debnitely
how many charred bodies are in tiie
mass of fallen masonry that mark tbe
spot where the hotel stood.
Thus far 14 are known to he dead,
12 injured, and 41 missing.
