PITTSB Two Masked Men Loot Express Car and Get Away With Four Bags Unfortunate Guests of Fort Wayne, Ho(e, Cnl off from Elevator and Stairway. Fire Department Rescued Many of the Entrapped Guests by Means of Lsdders, But Many Leaped to the Paved Streets and Were Fatally Injured Fort Wayne, Ind. At least 12 persons lost their lives In a fire that destroyed the New Avellne hotel here early Sunday. The entire Interior of the building Is a smoldering heap of ruins, and how many dead are con' cealed by the debris can only be con' jectured. The hotel register was consumed y the fire, and there are no accurate means of determining who are missing. The complete destruction of the Interior of the hotel makes the work or recovering bodies a difficult task. A confused heap of charred wood, bricks and twisted girdles Is plied up between the bare walls to the second story. Piece by piece this must be removed before the roll of the dead can be completed. Some of the bodies taken out are mangled and charred beyond recognition. The fire was discovered at 3:30 a. m. In the elevator shaft by Night Clerk Ralph Hopkins. He rushed to the upper floors, alarming the guests, until the flames, which had spread with appalling rapidity, drove him back. His efforts, however, saved many lives. The hotel was erected half a century ago, and the woodwork was dry as tinder. It burned like matchwood and within a few minutes from the time the fire was discovered the whole interior of the hotel was a mass of flames that filled the corriand rooms with suffocating dors clouds of smoke and laid fiery barriers across all means of escape save by the windows. The fire department rescued many people by means of ladders, but some, frenzied by the onward rush of the flames, leaped from high windows to the paved street. The New Aveline y hotel was a building of brick in the business center of the city. Its erection was begun in 1852, but it was not completed until several years later. In 1895 the building was extensively remodeled and two stories were added. The hotel and furnishings were valued at $80,000. Within a quarter of an hour from the time the fire was discovered in the elevator shaft practically the entire building was wrapepd in flames. The whole interior became a roaring furnace and irom basement to roof all was blazing at once. In rapid succession the floors fell to the basement, carrying their toll of dead. six-stor- REVOLUTION IN PERU.
