A IIOTEfi HOLOCAUST.

bered fifty-five. Of tho 160 people,
tivobavo thus far been found dead
six nro in tho hospital nnd sixty
three have been reported alive. Om
hundred nro still missing, Tin
number of dead will probably not
exceed, at a Jater estimate, thirty.
The scones wero heartrending nut
appalled oven tho firemen and po
'Icemen, who are used to such sights
Soon after tlio ilro broko out, nmbu
lances arrived from tho various bos
pltals, and many physicians, whost
residences arc In tho neighborhood,
were tjulckly on tho soono, and dh'
all they could to relievo the Injured.
Nearly every ono of tho 12-1 rooms,
which the hotel hud on its five
floors, wiw occupied by guests,
many of them transients. In faci
all tbo rooms, savo four, had been
taken at 1 o'clock yesterday morn
lug, when Richard Mcares, tho pro
prietor, wont to bed. When the
Humes burnt forth, from some un
known origin, near tho olovator
shaft, tho entire building was in
stantly enveloped In flames.
Nkw Yomc, Feb. 8, At 1:30 a.
m. tho best estimates, based upon
the police reports, tho coroner's list,
und Tho World reporter's Investiga
tion, shew: Dead, 6, injured, 24;
missing, 00; saved, 81.
This morning it was also learned
on good authority, that IIurdlng(
tho foreman of tho hotel, who first
discovered tho flro, fought tho
flumes for 16 minutes boforo ho rais
ed the alarm. Harding defies it.
Nuv Yomc, Fob. 8. Tho soarch

U'scued before tho walls collapsed,
and sixty-ouo nro still missing.
Among tlioBo rescued from tho flam
ing building, twenty-four woro more
or less Horlously burned aud bruised
It Is not Impossible that a number
nf those who nro still among the
mlsHlug this morning may lmvo
escaped, but until tho great heaps of
debris have been removed no ono
can tell what will bo disclosed.
r.w xouk, j'ou. a. Jiy uoou
two mora bodies wero removed, both
of them women; ono la supposed to
bo that of n woman employed about
tho hotel, Victor Pollerlu, a waiter,
who worked In the hotel boiuo tlmo
ago, this morning said that it was
tho habit for rubbish to accumulate
lu ono corner or tho kitchen Thla
pile of rubbish on three different
occasions caught fire hut was quickly
extinguished. Pollerlu believes it
was hero tho flro originated.
As I am about to leave the talc,
Monday, to be absent some weeks,
it would bo most convenient for me
to turn over the ofllce to you at 2
o'clock p. ra. that day, Monday, if
it is your pleasure to accept thesame
at that time."

Tho fire may bavo started lu this

He would keep It In his possession

The letter wus promptly forwarded
to tho treasury department at Wash

ceived u circular, issued by A. L.
Drummoud, chief of tho secret

Tho chief goes ou at some length to
i-ny thut tho sender of tho letter be
longs to a clas of swindlers culled
"boodlors," who practice tho oiler
lug of counterfeit money to un
sophisticated persons. Ono practice
of tho boodlers, says the chief, is to
lead on their victims by sending a
genuine (1 or $2 uotu or parts of tho
same, and represent them to be
specimens of tho counterfeit notes
they have for sale. Under various
names of "green articles," "green
cigars," "greeu leaves," etc., they
oiler for Kilo the counterfeit money,
which they aver Is printed on plates
stolen from the bureau of engraving
and printing of the government.
Not n pluto of any kind ha9 ever

yet thousands of criminally
people bellevo they can purohabe

by tho Willamette Valley Fruit Growing company so that
a two year old orchard, complete in ever respect, will
cost the pur baser $125 per acre, including a good fence
around it.
The Willamette Valley Fruit Growing company has
now more than 300 acres set out in this way, and will
take pleasure in showing anyone, who takes an interest in
fruit growing in the Willamette Valley, what they are
doing and how their orchards look. The people of Salem
and their visiting friends are cordially invited to call at
the office of the Willamette Valley Fruit Growing com
pany, in the Gray building with the Oregdn Land com
pany and take a ride to Sunnyside and see Avhat is being
done in tho way of fruit raising in the vicinity of Salem,
Oregon. You will enjoy the ride to Sunnyside and see
something worth seeing.

Tho German captain promptly said
he would get out of the way ot onco

was iu very good anchorage, uud he
did not see why he should move.
After some further conversation he
consented to comply with the re
quest of Captuin Schley, and said
that ho loo would get out of the way.
As it happened, the Chilians either
bandoued their intention to attack,
or never entertained it. Otherwise
there would doubtless havo occurred
one of tho most remarkable naval
engagements of history.
