HORROR IN DENVER.
TWENTY LIVES LOST BY AN
EXPLOSION.
Jioiler Eploln in the Rear Part of the
Ganrcjr House Fire Adds to the Hor
rorMany Kescned From the Window
Una to an Intoxicated Engineer,
Pkxver, Col., Aug. CO. About 12:10
o'clock this morning a terrific explo
sion occurred in the renr of the Gumry
hotel, 1725 to 1733 Lawrence street, a
five story brick and stone structure, in
which were between forty and fifty
people, most of them asleep. The
building was almost completely
wrecked and surrounding1 buildings
were badly damaged.
The fire department and many vol
unteers were soon on the scene and in
lrllf an hour five persons who had oc-
rcupitv upper rooms were, taken out
more or less injured. Then the mine
caught lire and firemen and others who
were trying to rescue, those buried un
der the debris were forced to retreat"
while c ries and moans were heard is
suing from the midst of the ruins.
To add to the excitement, a hose
team ran away and several persons
were trampled upon and injured.
Live electric light wires were also a
constant source of peril for a time.
When the liremen were driven back
by the flames they had almost com
pleted the rescue of two women and
two men, but nothing more could be
done and soon all four were beyond ull
hope.
All night long1, the firemen poured
water on the burning debris and as
soon as the flames were driven away
from one section, the work of rescue
was resumed.
Uoe Munal of Cairo, 111., was rescued
at i:30 o'clock, after an hour's work,
4lJli it is c.. i, lit. that no more of the
' victims ean be r.live. l'olice Surgeon
Jarecki took his place where he could
keep Munal's head moist and properly
attend to him while his lower limbs
were being extricated. It was a po
rtion of great danger for all, on
account of the flames and the over
hanging roof, which threatened to
come down at any moment. Hut the
men worked on hauling at beams with
ropes and using every device to clear
the space arouud the suffering man,
who bore his agony with great bravery
and cheered on his helpers. At last
about 3:30 o'clock a great cheer
arose and word was spread among tho
great crowd waiting outside that the
work was fiulshed. Soon firemen and
citizens appeared at the entrance bear
ing Munal cm a stretcher. He was
conscious but suffering great agony,
and the physicians expressed little
hope for his ultimate revival. When
he revlve.iV,- btt.said: "I am a cigar
maker and have been in the city for a
week, having come heie from Cairo,
111 I was upstairs in bed when 1
heard an awful crash. 1 did not know
what it was and got out of bed and
hurried out, and on going down stairs
1 must have lost my way, for when I
got down on what 1 thought was the
ground floor, 1 fell down into the
basement."
THE DEAD AND THE 5IISS1NO.
At 10 o'clock the fire in the ruins
hud been extinguished, and the search
for the dead whs begun, a large force
of men and teams being engaged in
hauling away the debris. At 1 1 o'clock
one body, which was not identified,
had been removed and several more
were in sight.
The dead so far as ascertained are
as follows:
Peter Gumry, owner of the hotel.
R, C. Greiner, manager of the hotel,
B)n-in-law of Peter Gumry.
Mrs. R. C. Greiner, clerk of the ho
tel, daughter of Peter Gumry.
General Charles Adams, Manitou,
Col.
A. L. Elake, Pueblo, Col.
Myron E. Hawley, Union Pacific
.railroad clerk, Denver.
James Murphy, contractor, Denver.
Geoi ge Hurt, passenger conductor on
fie ltok Island railroad, Colorado
Springs.
Mrs. Wolf and daughter.
Two chambermaids, names un
known. Ojc bell boy, name unknown.
In addition to the dead, there are
the following missing:
Urenicr, father of It. C Grenier,
manager of the hotel.
Bud Burnes, Colorado Springs.
W. J. Carson, Pueblo.
V. French, Central City.
Bert I. Larsh, Central City.
E. F. McCToskey, Canon City.
Judge Glinn, Leadville.
The whole rear half of the hotel was
blown to atoms and the front portions
are merely shattered and burned frag
ments of a house.
There is no doubt that the wreck
was caused by a boiler explosion.
Frank Loescber, the enginer, it is
said, was intoxicated, and after turn
ing a large quantity of cold water into
the hot boiler left the building ten
minutes before the explosion occurred.
The police are looking for him. K. K.
Irwin, the night clerk, says Loescber,
who was only 17 years old, was drunk
when he went on duty, and that he
was in the habit of neglecting his
duty.
The Gsffiry was 6 five-story building
valued at 130,000, and had been used
as a hotel since 1888, when it was re
built after a fire in which one life was
" lout. It was of the better kind of sec
ond class European hotels, catering
IimtpIii in trt.ni.iont Turn II v natronaire.
It was built as the Kden Musee by the
widow of General Tom Thumb, and
was so occupied. Afterward it was re
modled for use as a hotel. Onmry and
Grenier had owned it for several
vcars. No meals were terved in the
hotel.

and small craft torn from their moor

SmithHeld street bridge and the side
crushed in. She sank in several feet
of wa ter.
When the storm struck the Koefer

Lindbaugli, the cook, and two colored
chambermaids were on board, but all
reached the shore in safety except
Millie Lindbaugli, who became ex
hausted and was drowned.
The steamer Courier, with 400 pas
sengers on board, was swept with
water and the passengers became panic
stricken, bnt Captain Klein succeeded
in making a landing at Painter's Mills
and nil left the boat in safety.
V line the wind was at its highest an
unknown woman attempted to cross
the Point bridge. She wus caught in
a whirlwind and blown into the river
and drowned.
Archibald Sophie was blown into the
river and drowned while trying to
tighten the lines of some coal barges
in the West end, lie was married and
had a large fa.'-iily.
On Second avenue a feed wire was
broken and in attempting to repair it
Conductor Adams was fatally shocked,
On the South side the large grain
elevator of Henderson it Joiinson, in
course of construction, was almost
completely demolished. The heavy
Iron girders felt on a row of tenements
and crushed them, but fortunately the
occupants were away iron home.
Two freight cars on the Pittsburg
and Lake Krie road were lifted from
the tracks and blown into the Monon
gahela river and portions of the Mo
nongahela and Castle Shannon inclines
were earned away by the wind and demolished.
On the north side of Alleghany City
great damage was done to small
buildings and trees were uprooted in
the parks, but as far as reported no
persons were seriously injured.

CLEVELAND PROTESTED.
Hut It Mmle tittle Difference to I'uh
liNlier John it. McLean.
New YoiiK, Aug. 20. A Sunday
newspaper advertised last week that
it would print a description of the
home and summer life of the president
and his family. Learning of this Mr.
Cleveland sent John It. McLean the
following telegram:
UrxzAiiDS Hat, Muss., Ah?. 17. Your reporter

my liomeliold. 'Die lmhlicittinn of any inter

The message is printed as an intro
duction to the article, which is pub
lished with illustrations. Mr. McLean
claims that the article violates none of
the proprieties, and has sent a reply
to Mr. Cleveland stating that he had
not advertised any interview and that
the president had evidently been im
posed upon by rival newspapers.

westbound Great Northern train had
passed through a furnace of burning
forests for a distance of ten miles Sun
day night, when at Little Spokane

city, a huge tree fell across the track
from the mountain above. The en

stop so suddenly as to throw the pas

The burning tree was dragged par
tially under the cars, and for a mo

until it almost went into a 150 fooJ

So intense was the heat from the for
