Cumry Hotel Wrecked by an Explosion.

Hotel Crowded With ^Guests, Many ot Whom Must Have Been Killed as Well as Untlre Force of Kmployes—Pedestrians Injured by Falling Glass—Cause of Explosion Uncertain.

DENVER, Aug. 19.—The Gumry hotel, 1725 to 1733 Lawrence street, was wrecked by a terrible explosion nt 12:10 a. m. The rear half of the building, a five-story brick and stone structure, went down with a crash. The hotel was crowded with guests and many of them must have been killed, as well as the entire force of hotel employes, who were sleeping in the portion of the building that fell. On both sides of Lawrence, from Seventeenth to Eighteenth streets, and on Larimer, directly back of the Gumry, the plate glass windows of the business houses were blown in and a number of pedestrians were injured by falling glass. The fronts of many buildings in the vicinity were badly wrecked.

The hotel structure for 100 along the alley and extending 75 feet toward the front is a mass of debris. Brick and plaster are piled in heaps 20 feet high and trom this mass of wreckage can be heard the moans of the injured and dying. At J2:.'5o five injured persons have been taken out. They were all inmates ol the upper story aud sank down I with the floors, escaping more t'ortmiati.'ly than those below, who are still buried the ruins. The firemen are working like beavurs, digging into the debris, but are making jiftlo progress.

The remaining portion of the building, jcioui which the guests are being removed by ladders as fast as possible, is expected to tall at any moment and precaution! to avert further loss of life adds to the difficulty in reaching the dead and injured.

By some estimate -KFpeonle were in the port-ion or the hotel destroyed, nearly all of whom must be dead, it will be late before a full list cau be obtained. The cause of the explosion is uncertain,

but it is supposed that the battery of boilers in the hotel basement must have exploded. The sound of the explosion was heard throughout the city, awakening people bed a mile away. A cloud ot dust was thrown a thousand feet in the air, and as there was not a breath o! air stirring, it still hangs in the air like a huge column. Minute atoms of powdered brick and mortar are descending like gentle snow.

At 12:.)0 the ruins are burning fiercely and the firemen have been obliged to retreat from the work of rescue. Every engine in the city is pouring streams into tiie mass, but the flames can not possioly be goiten under control before

many of the injured have been eremated. As their chances ot escape lessen the cries ot tlio imprisoned peo-

At 1 :,U) a. in. the flames are still keeping the firemen baeK from me work of rescue, except just at the line ot tne alley wall. Of those pinioned beueatn the debris only two are thouglit to be alive, both men from the uftli story, who are still lying 011 their beds. Both are covered wit 11 several feet of debris about their heads and cau ari I lv survive another hall. hour. Almost uo progress is being inane at releasing them, as the smoke is blinding. 1 no dames are only kept back from their bodies by lialf a dozen streams ot water.

Thus far six other persons 111 the house have been taken from the ruins, all badly injured. In addition lour were severely cut by glass lading into the street. A piece of the cornice of die Ciieesnian block at beventoenth and Laramie street, mllv a bloeic n\m the hotel, was torn out and leil to the street, narrowly missing several passers-oy. The Iragment weighed at least a toil.

In tne wrecked budding mere was a tier of live or six rooms extending across the rear of the budding, lacing the alloy, 011 each of the three upper floors. All of these rooms are believed to have been occupied as people residing in rooms across the alley observed lights burning in every window during the evening.

Dki-'Ianci:, O., Aug. 10.—Flank Slavin and Weorge Jeiireys, two young in on who were camping out oil the Auglaize river, J.'aulding county, Io11 their homes at Junction a few days sine:1 for a two weeks' outing, but returned ,Saturday morning almost breathless with excitement, and displayed a hau dozen pieces of gold and silver com, bearing dates ranging lrom 7-S-l to JfUo, aud stating that they had lound them near a large excavation at the foot, of a higti blutt on the south bankot tne river, just across from Blodget-t's island.

Tho young men had pitched their camp on the island, which is an historic spot, owing to the fact that, on its north, shore tlie.ro still remains a large mound, a relic or the days when Ohio was peopled by a race whose history alike remains unwritten and untold. Just opposite the island stands the cement mills, and a little further up rhe river is a high nlulf of slate stone. The side of tins wall for some distance is as smooth as though built by human hands. Along the base ol the blurt" is a strip of sand, which stretches along tho river for 100 yards. This narrow belt is overgrown with willows and underbrush, which almost lnde the lower surface of the wall.

It was wmle roaming their way througn this underbrusii that the young men made their discovery. Near tho center of the blurt' they lound a large excavation in the slatestone and sand. Leading to the water's edge was a path, which had been cut through tho underbrush.

When tho boys related their story to the villagers "at Junction Saturday morning a searching party was lormed and the young men led their way back to the river to visit the spot. They found the bluff as described, and were soon standing at the place where tho coins had been picked up from the saud near the excavation. From the underbrush near the spot was taken a spade, pick ax and a couple of steol bars used as jimmies.
