Chicago 12L L Anderson of this city who was in the Newhall Bouse fire gives the following thrilling description I sat on the windowsill of my room and saw the flames take my bed and my clothe and saw the floor sink m the 1 mass of flame before Iescaped by sliding down the rain spout which ran along m 9 window I had a room on the corner of I Michigan street and Broadway fourth floor It was nearly 1 oclock in the morning when I went to bed having been in company with L A Brown of Philadelphia and poor fellow I saw him afterwards go down to his death in the mass of flames without being able to help him It was awtuI walked up Etairs to my room as tho elevator stopped stop-ped running at 1230 On my way up I met the only watchman in the house and I asked him how I could escape in case of fire He said easy enough There were two ways one by thestairway and the other by going through a labyrinth oi hall to the front Browns room was opposite mine I went to bed after that and was awakened by horrible shrieks of burning women and groans of burning men It was like hell itself so terrible seemed to be the sounds The flames were crackling all around and as I opened tho door a great mass of smoko and flame rushed in and I became stifled I was unable to again shut it and the smoke almost killed me I had nothing 01 but a gauze undershirt I felt my strength leaving me I was choking I meh sank to the floor I thought I was gone but my senses had not altogether left me r 1 gathered myself up as best I could and made towards the window by a desperate effort I succeeded in getting there I sank again to the floor but rallied ral-lied and attempted to raise the window It was so well balanced that it yielded at once to my puny efforts and went up I leaned out and the fresh air revived me I was strengthened and consciousness returned I looked down below and saw the firemen and policemen hpldiag a m Hoc thTr shouted tome to jump nn rho telegraph wires but I refused I law ladders against the building I sat down on the window sill and saw everything go down my clothing valise every thing I was unable to save a thing I shouted I begged I implored for those below to save me They saw me but I gave me no help I saw my friend como from his room and attempt to come to me through the mass of flames but saw him go between he vortex of flame to his death Oh such a sight It was too horrible to imagine ima-gine I saw the tinspout It was part covered with ice three women and one man had tried to descend it and they landed in the valley of death They ost their hold and fell to the street below be-low It was tho only means of escape left I seized it with the frantic effort of despair Everything inside of my room was gone I caught it in a vicelike grip and commenced to slide sometimes I slipped from six to twelve feet and others a few inches but I kept going down using the ice made by the hose as a foothold foot-hold and catch for my hands which you see are terribly blistered I went clean down to the cellar 15 feet below the street but I was alive clad only in icy gauze undershirt On my way down I saw two little girls standing in a window on the third story and they asked me to save them but 1 was powerless to give them aid and I had to see those inm cents not over sis years old swallowed up by the heartless flames I saw Kelsey Kel-sey Tom Thumbs colored servant go down with the walls He was clinging to a windowsill in the fifth story 1 walked out to the front and went upstairs up-stairs into the front office where I found a woman was tearing her hair I could not see her face and did not know who she was I spoke to her but she took no notice of me I seized her by the ankle and dragged her down bodily thus saving her life I went across to the express ex-press office where I saw Antisdele who was leaning over Mrs Johnsor He said 1 am crazy You rub this woman I want to go and save my children I was in a position to be rubbed myself being naked and chilly I said to a fireman standing by I have lost everything He said you are alive and pointing to a man who was clinging from a fifth story window he said How would you like to change place with him Somebody gave me a coat and I walked in my bare feet fou blocks to the Plankinton House I wa Beside myself I met a woman wh threw a shawl over me and said Hero poor boy take that 1 got clothing such as It was > from strangers at th Plankmlon I never want to go throng such an experience again Milwaukee 12 0 D Nash the I principal owner of the illfated building build-ing being asked if he intended to rebuild sMdMy time has been so occupied oc-cupied that I have had scarcely any lime to think but in all probability I and the other stockholders will rebuild on the same site a fireproof hotel next spring It will cost not less than 500000 When asked if he had any theory to express in regard to the origin of the fire Nash said I prefer not to answer that question Of course I have my theory u Do you think it was the work of an incendiary 1 have my own opinsons of the matter but do not think it best to give them publicity at this time A strange expression came over Nashs countenance which led the reporter to continue and elicited the fact that Nash suspected a person of firing the building on previous occasions but the person is now out of the state The work of exhuming the bodies of those who perished in the Newhall House holocaust continued from an early hour today A cold cutting northeasterly wind prevails keeping back the crowd and giving the workmen a chance for unhindered labor j but the work of the 120 is carried on without system sys-tem and very little is i accomplished Shortly after 10 oclock the charred remains re-mains of a human body wore found at the north end of the Broadway front the first and only body found up till noon It was charred beyond recognition the flesh actually burned off the lower extremities ex-tremities Remnants of the night dress show the body is that of a woman Shreds of the dress cannot be removed without tearing oil the flesh From the location of the body it is thought to be the remains of Miss Iibblo Challis bead dressmaker for T A Chapman who was seen at a window on the sixth story shortly before the Broadway Broad-way wall fell The remains were fairly embodied in brick News of the body being taken to the morgue spread like wildfire and thousands of people all now on the scene Much indignation was manifesto at the bungling manner iu which the work is carried on and at he insufficient force The action of the council caused such general condemnation condemna-tion and threatening that another meeting meet-ing is called for this afternoon to employ em-ploy a large force and get electric appliances ap-pliances for work at night W A Hall of L porte Indiana a partner of M Weber in the millinery business died this morning at Dr Bart letts office He made the jump from the fifth story window and broke both legs the bones protruding through the flesh His whereabouts only became known late last night Five bodies were buried this morning D G Powers Mary Con roy Bessie Brown and Annie Linehan from fat Johns Cathedral and Maggie Sullivan from St Galls The attendance of people at the impressive funeral ser ices was very large Shortly after noon two more bodies charred beyond all identification and part of a human trunk were found It h now settled beyond preadventure that the loss of life ia not below seventy In addition to the bodies two coats were found and in the pocket of one a letter and paper addressed to Wm D Rowell Freeport 111 Mr Rowell escaped with his clothing A gentleman who met lowell in Freeport yesterday was seen this morning There was nothing to tell to whom the other coat belonged In the southwest corner of the ruins was the photograph of a young smooth faced man apparently about five feet tsn inches ugh and weighing perhaps 175 pounds on the back of the pcture was written the name Airs E Leland The photograph photo-graph was taken in Now York A memorandum book and large bundles of business pipers were dug into about sixteen feet from the sidewalk Some are standing in water foot deep and con equently they can make but little headway head-way After today they can get along much faster for the reason that the debris may bo thrown into ho hole now being made The coroner has called an inquest for tomorrow to-morrow The district attorney will conduct con-duct the examination John Gilbert actor is still unconscious but physicians I do not give up hope Mrs Sylvester Sleeker wife of the manager of the Tom Thumb troupe passed a quiet night buts but-s very low and will probably die James McAlpin of Milwaukee a commission man does not improve Grave doubts are felt for him Physicians will hold a conference over the case this afternoon Andrew Hatdy is improving Mr and Mrs Cramer are out of danger All of he servant girls have been taken to their homes except Minnie Mack
