rope parted nnd tlie woman fell to the pave-

body flattened into a shapeless mass.
So rcat U the confusion and excitement
that the Identity of those killed and injured
is wholly unlinown.
Undertakers and ambulances arc flylnp In
nil directions and the streets In the neighborhood -
hood of the ill-fatrd hotel arc thronged with
excited crowds of people.
Frank Carr of Glen's Falls , K. JT. , has
been identified as one of these burned to
death.
Many people , cra/cd with fright , lost their
lives by Jumping from the windows.
One man says he sa\v six people Jump from
different windows on the Fayetto street side
of the building within the space of four
minutes and the sight sickened him -with its
horrors so that ho was compelled to leave the
spot.

The building was provided with both iron
flro escapes on the outsldo nnd ropes on the
inside , which were the means of saving many
lives.
Unmet Forbes , ft stock broker of Uils city ,
escaped into the street almost entirely naked.
He was slightly Injured about the hands.
One woman was found with a babe In brr
arms crouched In a stairway , where she had
been overcome by the smoke. She iva.s re
moved by a llrenian. but has not yet retrained
consciousness , and it Is impossible to say
what lior name or experience was ,

The total loss will not fall stort of

Amonp those injured is Cora Tanner , the
nctress , who was severely burned about tno
head and feet. She was playing an engage
ment nt the Graua opera house and had a
room in the hotel.
Every physician in Syracuse Is on the
ground
Most of these killed \vere on the fourth
and ilfth lloors.

rumors arc afloat that tholist of killed will
number flfty pci-sons , but this fact cannot be
substantiated and it Is believed the number
will bo less than Uvcnty-flvo , the lirst esti
mate. The guard lines stretched across the
street arc inadequate to keep back the surg
ing crowds of people that are picked In the
streets leading to the hotel , and police aru
stationed nil around the building.
The scenes and incidents connected-\vlth
'ho rescue ot tlio inmates are hcatrending In
the extreme. The cries of the women stand
ing In tbo upper windows and of
the excited crowd below were deafen
ing , and added to this the constant roar of
many llro engines created a babel of con
fusion and panicky excitement In and around
the liotel.
Tbo newspaper representatives are en
deavoring with all the energy lit their com-
nmnd to obtain substantiated lists of thoie
who lost their lives , but have mot -\\lth little
success.
At 1:12 : a man and woman wro seen
locked in each other's arms in a window on
the fifth floor , nt the northeast comer of the
building. Below them was a perfect sea of
flame * . N'o possibility of escape except
by the window was open to them
nnd that seemed inenltablo death. No
assistance could reach them. The woman
Bcomed atnicAjs to Jump , but her husband
was earnestly entreating : her to desist , The
croud below waited with bat d breath. The
woman made uno last effort to Jump , but
was restrained by her husband and the cry
of the crowd signalled the awful end that
must have befallen them as they fell baeU-
wnnUtito the room Into a mass of ilames
At a window on the fourth lloor , almost
directly under this , a woman -was surrounded
on all sides front the Interior of the room by
fierce Ilames. She seemed irresolute a * to
whether to Jump to the pavement or to face
the fiery foe that was fast eneroachlnR on
her liberty nnd life. She stepped upon
the sill of the window and placed her bands
above her head. The people In the street
shuddered and turned their faces to keep out
the horviblo sight that must meet their pare
should the woman Jump to the ground. The
woman did not Jump , but seemed to bo with
held by fear or a feeling that escape -would
cotno from some other source , She stopped
down from the sill Into the room , but ro-
malncd at the window but an instant , when
tbo whole room becaino enveloped in flames
and the uoinau sank back from view.

Private information from South Carolina
points to the election of at least four of the
republican candidates for congress from that
state. This Is Uuo to the split in the demo
cratic party The managers of the Haski'll
campaign have made an allUnce with the
nepro element and the latter will cast all
their votes for tlic independent state ticket ,
ai the Haskell managers have agreed to pro
tect them in doing so , and they will bo al
lowed to vote for the republican
candidates . .Vs South Carolina has n
raajoHty of negroes , among her popula
tion and would send a solid republican
delegation to congress if there could be a
fair vote and nn hone'.t count , this deal is
likclv to clian e the complexion of the pres

that the negroes may be deceived by their
