SLEEP OF DEATH,

Destruction of aNew York Hotel and Many Lives.

A Frightful Calamity at Three O'clock in the Morn lug— H«art-K®nUliig Details.

ANew York dispatch of Monday says: A disaster parallel ling in horror and probably exceeding in loss of life tho terrible occurrence in Park place, the remembrance of which is fresh in the public mind, occurred in this city early Sunday morning. The Ilotel Royal, at Fortieth etreeCa'ud Sixth avenuo, was burned to the ground and a large number of people were burned to death, somo suffering by smoke and others crushed in the ruins. It Is known that there were 120 guests in the house at tho time the lire broke out, Then were also lifty-flve employes of the house I 01 the occupants six have boon found dead, six are in hospitals and sixty-throi have been reported alive, either by tbeii friends or themselves. This leaves one hundred persons missing. Tito police have searched that vartof the ruins accessible but havo found no bodies. They believe that many of the missing persons will be found to have escaped. Uf tluise many aro supposed to have {rone tothei: homes. They are mostly transient guests, and it is believed a large portion will novel report their escape. At this.writing it.h impossible to state the number of killed or injured with any positiveness. Tho police place the number of killed at thirty to fifty, while they admit that the number,tl injured will bo very large.

It was a few minutes after 3 o'clock Sunday morning when tho liames were lirs: discovered. They never had better tiie1.. The building was composed of several ol structures, all amalgamated into tho Hotel Royal years ago. So far as can be learned tho liames kindled in the shaft oi the elevator, in tho basement, at about the middle of. the building. A janitor was at work in tiie basement at the time, and was suddenly frightened by the Hashing of flames, lie rushed to the street and notified the policeman on the Sixth avenue corner, who started at once to send in an alarm, while tho janitor rushed back into the buHding to arouse the sleeping guests. FLAMES SHOT UP THK ELEVATOR SHAFT.

The blaze had already shot up tho elevotor shaft, finding kindling as inflammable as tinder in the frame work,and Jamos T. Powers, of tho "Straight Tip'' Company, smoking his good-night cigar on the piazza of the Gedney House, at Broadway and Fortieth streeti\saw tho flames, lie rushed to the nearer^

Sire-alarm box, and

sent in an alarm bef)too the Sixth-avenue .r ovi'l revel, his nearest box. In fifteen minu'es tho whole of the building was ablaze. Flames shot out of every window in the front of the hou::e end people in the street could see persons rushing frantically to and fro on every I'oor of tho building. Ono, two, three alarms were sent out in rapid succession »nd the streets ajjd avenues were scon filled with fire engines and trucks. Other alarms brought ambulances from every hospital iu th.* city. "^People leaped out of tho windows to the sidewalks, and were gathered up unconscious, burned, maimed and mangled, by the firemen, and carried to places of safetyThe most heroic efforts of the firemen were impotent against the devouring element and the whole middle portion of the city was brilliantly illuminated by the tremendous lire which the hotel made. Crowds soon gathered, and Capt. Reilly. with the reserves from the Thirtiothitreet station,had more than their hands full in controlling tho excited throngs. It was known thai the hotel was full of poopie, for it was a popular resort for thousands, and the loss of life was expected to be great. The windows were tilled with people in their night clothihg, making piteous and heartrending appeals to those below for help, while behind them was a great sea of flames. Indeed, these unfortunate beings seemed to be actually in the fire.

JUMPED TO TIiriR DBAS1!!.

Harrowing scones were witnessed bv those who were assembled in sight of th burning hotel. One unliuow man sprang from a window on the third lloor am! wa dashed to death on the sidewalk below before tho horrified oye3 of tho spectators This terrible scene was enacted on the Sixth avenue side of the building. A moment later another man leaped from window on the Fortieth-street siiio and wamangled to death on tho pavoment. Shortly afterward two women Jumped from windows on the Sixth avenue side. Willing hands soon grasped them up, but they wore dead. Their bodies wero at once removed to the morgue. Thus already had four lives been sacrificed. From other windows of tho doomed hotel men and women leaped hi their mad endeavor to escape from tho flames, and so far at known none of them were killed outright, but many were badly bruised. The numerous ambulance surgeons who wer summoned as soon as the fire was discovered had more than they could do to attend to tho -burned and injured people.

The Jiote) burned lilce a tinder box. .The flames raged fiercely, but abovo al] cou'd bo heard the cries for hcl# from the unfortunates penned in the building. Firemen and spectators helped to rescuo tlic Imprisoned guests and employes. Many were taken from windows, where they had •ought refuge, and the firemen darec smoke and flames to save life.

A DYNAMITE CARTRIDGE-

Used to Blow Up an Electric Cai in Pittsburg.

It Was Loaded With Scabs, Hut None oi Them Jlurt—Force of the Con. cuBgioii Very Cireat.

Woods Run ear, No. 1, of the Manchester line, Pittsburg, having on board thirteen of the new employes of tho company was wrecked on Beaver avenue on the 3d, by the explosion Tof a dynamite cartridge, which had been placed on the track. Tho explosion occurred as the car was passing tho Manchester locomotive works, and though tho concussion was so sovere that tho car was thrown from the track,and badly wrecked, the windows shattered in all of the houses on th«s side of the street nearest the track, strange as it may seein, not one person was hurt. The car is kne vvn as the "allnight car," and had picked up the employes on their way to work. When the carreaehed tho locomotive-works it was running at full speed and the men were talking and laughing. Suddenly there was a terrible explosion, and ho cat' was ifted bodily from t.he track. It was badly wrecked and all tho windows were broken. Several of tho men were cut by flying glass, but no one was seriously hurtMany persons wero thrown from their beds by tho foiVe.of the explosion. ,.v.

One of tho striking conductors, who was seen by a reporter, said that he had heard two of the striking conductors threaten that they would put dynamite on the track. He said he saw tho same two men on Beaver avenue early Wednesday morning, and near the scene of the explosion. He also said that somo days ago two oi the so-oalled "sympathizers" asked him tc take a hand in a plot to "do up" President Dulzell and General Manager Greenwood, of the company. He told the men that he would have nothing to do with such a scheme, and at onco reported what had been said to him to Mr. Dalzcll.

A great crowd soon collected at the scene of tho explosion, and the general sentiment seemed to be that tlie men who had committed 'the deed l:ad waited until the car was well loaded with the hated "scabs." and then "fired tho mine" with the idea of killing several of the now men. The strikers and their friends have been quiet for several days, aud it was thought they had abandoned tho fight and that all trouble was over.

NO, NO, SAYS MR. BLAINE.

My Name "Will Not Go Before tha Convention

Positive Statement From tho Sacntw} of State—How the Action ._«• li Viewed. A

Mr. Blaine sent out the following letter Saturday "WASHINGTON, Feb. ft. "Hon. J. S. Clarbfon, Chairman ol the ItepubH- 7

National Committee "My Dear Friend—I am not a candidate %. for tho Presidency, and my name will nol go before the Republican National Convention for tho nomination. I make this announcement In due season. To thos* who hava tendered me their support owt sincere thanks, and am most gratoful for their confidence. They will, I am sure, make earnest effort in tho approaching contest, which is rendered ospecial'y important by reason of the industrial and «cancial policies of tho Government being at stake. The popular decision on these issues is of great moment and will be ol far-reaching consequence. Very sincerely yours.

JAMES G. BLAINE.

The announcement that the ietter had been issued crcated considerable excitement.

Secretary Foster was seen by a United Press reporter and asked for his opinion of the letter. He said ho had been anticipating its appearanco. but .va3 surprised that it had come out now. "It will result, I think," he said, "in President Harrison's renomiiiallon," '•Will it open the field for other candidates or restrict it?" "The field has always been an open one, butseveral gentlemen to whom Secretary Blaine was a block will enter tho ra.ee.'' ''•Will Ohio havo a candid .t.?" "No." "For whom will slio be?" "For Harrison. Ohio his always felt very friendly toward IJlaine. but she has never supported him for the presidency, always having had, in contests which he enlivened, a candidate of her own, There will be 110 serious opposition to Harrison's nomination, I take it."

Secretary Elleins talked freely nnd interestingly 011 the subject. "For some time," said ho, "for a month or more, cerLainly, it has been known among the Republiaan politicians, and was becoming" generally known among the people, that Secretary Blaine wouid not be a cajidiiate. Somo of them are for Harrison and iomo for others, but the great mass are for iho President, and he will bo renominated."
