Long ere this. however. it became evi-i

doomed. ’l‘heflre started there in the sec-
, 0nd story. but was speedily extinguished. !
f This proved to be only a temporary relief. l
' for a little later flames were discovered in _
‘ an upper story blowing fiercely up the all i

A tremendous crowd gathered. flocking ;
from all sections of the city. They surged .,
and swayed around the burning buildings, l
and the police reserves had to exert them ‘:

The inflammable nature of the material .
and the great open amphitheater of the

‘ redhot cindcrs were shot up as from n vol-

swept through the air in every direction.

houses on the opposite sides of the streets ,

The guests in the hotel had lost no time
in making their escape. They waited only
to snatch up a few valuables and run. but
Wearing apparel and other effects had to
be left to the greedy flames.
There were not wanting dramatic inci‘
dents during the day. From the fifth fleet
of the house Mrs. Immls. one of tin
guests. and her newly born babe had to be
carried down the tire escape to the street.
This was done successfully. and mother

belching forth in volumes from the floor
above. and it. was feared that. the daring
man would pay with his life iorhls tether-
ity. The crowd held its breath in our
pen-e. All at once a mighty cheer arose.
and the young man was seen, to climb
coolly out of the window with a satchel in
his band and with great deliberation
made the descent in safety. .
Firemen Frustrated.
The heat and the showers of sparks and
embers had made the situation an ex-
tremely trying one for the men of the fire
department. and one man, George Curr
ningham of Company 10, had to be carried
from his post. when the heat was the most
intense. but he afterward returned.
John Gatincy of Engine 151 had an epilep-
tic fit from heat prostration and was re—
moved to the Homeopathic hospital. He
is not considered to be in danger.
After a couple of hours the efforts of the
firemen were directed to the front of the
burning hotel. and at half past it o‘clock
there was a prospect of saving at least a
few of the rooms on the lower floors from
total destruction. '
At this time the tire lines had been ex-
tended in every direction. and there were
thousands of people upon every street, al-
though back out of danger. Fortunately
they were in the distance. for after the
flames had licked away the supports be-
neath, nearly all the fire escapes on the
'north wall. with a large portion of the
wall itself. fell into the niacin of debris
with a roar like a distant. cunnonade. This
was quickly followed by the fall of anec-
tion about 30 feet in height. on the Waver—
' ly avenue side of the hotel. and from that
time up to 8 p. in. huge masses of the
wall continued to fall.
Two more llt'einen. Edward Sheridan
and John Kelly of Truck 10. were pron
irated by heat.
“'l‘almage's Tabernacle burned down"
is an old story in Brooklyn. Three times
it has been told to the world. and just. at
preeentit is a question if there will ever-
be another Talmage's Tabernacle in Brook-
lyn, though pledges of assistance have al-
ready been made.
This edifice. the fourth in which the doc-
tor has preached in Brooklyn. was sitnewd
on the northerly side of Greene avenue and
extended from Clinton avenue on the we“

joining the church was the Hotel Regent.

Mra. Tonnage'e Story.
Mrs. 'l‘almage tells the following story of
the tire: "The doctor was still on the pill-
pit shaking hands with the people. of
whom there were nearly 100 probably left.
His back was to the organ. I was stand»
ing up at the end of the pew talking with
Mr. Martin of Chicago. who wanted to eel
the doctor with messages from loved
friends in that city. i looked up toward
the ceiling and saw a tongue of flame burst
out bcIWeen the pipes of the organ.
"1 at once called aloud. ‘Doctor. the
church is on tire.‘
"lie turned and told all the people to re
tire. while he Went into the study to get a
few things. i waited for him at. the door.
The flames spread very rapidly—so quick-
ly that some of the trustees were overcome
and had to be helped out.
"The doctor joined me soon after. and we
went. down Lafayette avenue to a friend’s.
where. we remained until we could beat

ger and what prospect there was of raving
