PUBLIC OPINION ON THE FIRE. '
^ he fire in the Fifth Avenue Hotel and
the terrible loss of life occasioned by it
Fas the universal theme of conversation,
yesterday, tnrongbout the city. Daring
the day large throngs gathered in front
Of the building, in Broadway and Twen-
ty-tliird street, to discuss the matter, to
glance occasionally at the wi ndows, and
to endeavor to catch a glimpse of what
was going oi inside. Policemen were
stationed at all the entrances to keep out
the carious crowd, who would otherwise
have overrun tho building, lolicemen,
nnder the oommand of Roundsman
Carpenter of the Twenty-ninth Precinct,
Fere also stationed atinP rvalaon all the
floors, to Bte that nothing was stolen.—
The business of the house was conducted
as usual, and there was little on the
lower floors to indicate that only a few
hoars previous
an extensive conflagration
had raged and for two hours or more
threatened the entire building with de
struction.
THE DEATH-TRAP.
So far as can be ascertained, the fire
originated in a small room occupied by
one of the laundry servants, or in a
amall closet on the fourth fi or, near the
private staircase leading to the servant’s
dormitories. Through the opening for
this winning staircase the flumes ran with
great rapidity, and soon reached tin
upper floor. This floor, on the Twenty-
third-street side, is cut np into small
rooms, each containing two or more beds.
The ceiling is about eight feet high, and
the passage-ways about five feet wide,
There is a great deal of
LIGHT WOOD WORK,
consisting mainly of partitions, and the
ceiling was of common lath and piaster,
offering no resistance to the flames,
which soon ate their way through and
seized upon the beams, joists and rafters,
Fed b this light wood work, the flumes,
aoon after the tire was discovered, had
spread for a distance of nearly 100 ieet
darting rapidly through the narrow pas
sago ways and filling them and the rooms
vith a hot and blinding smoke, to inhale
which was certain death. Here was the
death-trap.
THE WOMEN’S APARTMENTS.
The windows of the women’s sleeping
apartments looked out upon the roof ol
tho uotel, and were protected uy a wire
netting, fastened on the outside in such
a manner that they conld not readily be
removed by. either the inmates of the
rooms or any one seeking ingr, ss from
without. It was the opinion of all who
examined these gratings yesterday that
they were the unneipat cause of rnis ter
rible loss of life. Some of the unfortu
nate women were found directly beneath
tho windows, leading to the inference
that they hud, on awaking, and finding
their rooms and passage ways filled with
smoke, endeavored to open the windows,
only to find themselves baffled by the
wire screens. Others had ciawled nnder
their beds, and were the e suffocated,
THE BODIES
I
were all found in two rooms near the
head of the staircase. Nearly all of those
who escaped were aroused barely in timt
to get ont on the roof through a passage
way, or down the ataira toward tho Broad
way front. In a few oases the wire grat
ings and windows were broken in by
those on the roof, and the
INMATES WERE RESCUED.
In one or two instances the inmates of
rooms seized chairs or other missiles and
broke the windows and wire grating,
catting their hands anti faces, bac finally
clamboring upon the roof. Those who
w* r; burned had not sufficient presence
ol mind apparently to adopt this expedi
ent It is more than probable that they
were so
BLINDED AND CONFUSED
by tho imoke that they scarcely knew
what to do, or perhaps they wero half
unconscious, when aroused, from the
effect of inhaling the smoke. The most
GHASTLY AND THRILLING
feature of the tragedy was tho appear
ance of the bodies of the servant gi Is, at
the time they were discovered. The on'y
mode of access to this fearful spot was
by way of the windows opening upon a
lower roof. Through this apperture the
spectator was obliged to climb, and he
then would have fonnd himself in a small,
low, ill-vent ilated apartment, which, al
though net too large for the convenience
of one person, was the bed-room cf no
less than ten human beings, who were
still in death,
THE CHARRED REMAINS
Ecatteied about thn floor and on the beds,
being all that was left to tell the story ol
their cruel and untimely fate. The dull
flickering of a fireman’s lantern fur
nished light for those who witnessed the
scene, and added much to the ghastli
ness of
THE FACES OF THE DEAD.
The conclieB were ranged close together,
side by side, along each w»dl, leaving a
passage between the two rows. Two
bodies were found in the beds upon one
side and three upon the other. The
visitor stumbling over something in the
way, the lantern was lowered, bringing
to light
THE BLACKENED BODY OF A GIRL
who in her agonies of suffocation had
crawled partly underneath the bed. where
sh e b aa died. Near the window through
which the entrance hud been made was
* THE most horrible sight
of all. Two girls, who had apparently
been awakened by the heat and smok&
but were unable to escap *, were fonnd
firmly clasped in each other’s arms, and
in this position had become insensible
and so died. Another woman was King
upon her side drawn np into an attitude
indicating tho terrible anguish of her
death,
THE ELEVEN VICTIMS.
As soon as the blackened bodies were
taken out of tho cages, in which there
'^n so mnen suffering and death,
■'l. remoTed .in wagons to the
ily put into cof-
Jrvrw
_’e.ock <ne gates were opened, ostensibly
for the purpose of giving those who had
friends among the servants at the hotel
an opportunity of
identifying the bodies,
hat in reality to afford a gaping crowd a
chance to satisfy its untimely curiosity.
The scene was one which would indeed
be a feast for the eyes of a morbid nature,
hut in those of more sympathetic soul,
the sight would have stirred emotions o’
pity and horror. Nine coffins were
ranged, side by side, along the centre of
the small inclosure, in which were the
bodies of as many
UNRECOGNIZED WOMEN,
covered with old blankets or comforters,
the faces and ftet«-nly being exposed to
view. Around these charred remains
the crowd filed from the opening to the
shutting of the gates. Richly and shab
bily dressed women, old men anil young,
and even little children, joined tht line,
gazing at the discolored bodies as they
.a8sed. Some were apparently horri
fied, and turned their faces from the
spectacle; many were only amazed; while
the majority
LOOKED ON "WITH UNCONCERN.
A large number of tbe women repeatedly-
joined the line, which stretched far be
yond the gates, aud they appeared so
often in the crowd that the officers in
charge leained their faces and finally
barred them ont. One woman’s over
powering curiosity led her to visit the
place three times, wearing on each occa
sion a different dress, and once carrying
a baby.
During the forenoon four of the bodies
w*re identified, by relatives and friends.
Early in tbe day a young man came to
me Morgue aud stated that his sister was
among the missing. Looking at tbe
bodies, ho finally identified the girl. Her
name was
MARY MCDONALD.
She was twenty-six years of age, and un
married. She was born in England, and
has been in the United Slates only four
years. Her relatives resides at No. 60
Mulberry street.
MARY MCCABE
was identified by ner sister. Her body
was lying in ashed adjoining the Morgue.
She was a native of Ireland and twenty-
five years old. She was married to
Bernard McCabe. She emigrated to this
country in 1866, and had only been em
ployed two months at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Her relatives live at 249 Mul
berry street. She was scalded and burned
horribly, but her face was not disfigured.
MARY DOUGHY
was next identified, first, by an old lady,
and afterward by the head-waiter of the
silver-closet at the burned hotel.—
Another of her friends of her own sex
recognized her face and beoame
* FRANTIC WITH EMOTION,
endeavoring to throw herself upon the
body, and, when prevented, falling upon
her knees, clasping her hands, and pray
ing aloud. Mary Doughy was a native
of New York, age 20. She was unmar
ried. Her body was badly scalded as
well as burned.
The body of
LIZZIE HORAN
was recognized by some of the employes
of tbe hotel. She was 20 years of age
and single. She came from Ireland, her
native place, five years ago, and lias been
employed at the hotel for neveral months,
MARY FAGAN,
one of the hotel servants, was rescued
from her burning Dedroom, soon after
the breaking out of the fire, but was so
terribly burned that no hopes were en
tertained for her iccovery by the author
ities who caused her removal to Bellevue
Hospital. She remained alive until 7
a. m. yesterday, suffering, meanwhile,
terrible agony. She was born in Ireland,
was 30 years of age, aDd single. She
was both scalded and bnrned, the chief
injuries being about her bead.
There yet remain
SIX UNRECOGNIZED BODIES,
three of which can be identified, while
the others, probably, cannot be. They
Have ail been laid ont, with one excep
tion, in positions indicating easy deaths,
but these were in striking contrast with
the postures in which they were fonnd
The body nearest the gate was that of a
once robust, large-framed woman. She
was
DOUBLED UP HORRIBLY,
with hands outstretched, and fingers
clenched—undoubted testimony that life
left her after much suffering. The third
corpse was burned more than tue rest,
the fire having completely eaten off the
flesh from her .ace and head, .ausing
the features to be totally unrecognizable.
The lust body looked like a mumsay
The face wao perfectly black, but the
features were entirely preserved. • The
eyes were closed, t>nd the month partly
open, denoting that the girl died without
suffering.

no6 CHARLES A. BKAZLET. Ordinary.
In August last, Atlanta was visited by Milton Ma
lone, a notorious Oolnmbns gambler, who had al
ready been the hero of several
BLOODY XURDXB0.
From evidence, it seems that McAllister, a well
known character here, was one of his principal
friends. On t»e 10th of that month Malone and Mc
Allister, with others, were, about 8 o’clock that
evening, standing in front of
THM TURF EXCHANGE,
and were quite boisterous. A crowd was passing
by, one of whom remarked, that he “oared for no
body.” McAllister stepped ont, and asked if that
wasintendedfor him, to which one of the number,
Mr. Tye, replied that it was only Frank Phillips—
HE MEANT NOTHING.
Malone then said he thought there "would he a
fuss, and
in his. Shorn of its garbage and unnecessary repe
tition, Malone had concluded to murder Phillips,
and observing the direction in which his victim
went, he started toward the Maison do Vilte, and
drma- ded of Mr. E. C. 0Lavers his pistol, Malone
remarking that he intonded to have it at all hazards;
Cbivers let him have it. Malone then said:
YOU WILL HEAR THOM ME IN FIFTEEN MINUTES.*
Without any circumlocution or loss of time, he
went directly toward the carriage factory, where
certain disreputable women roomed, and whither
Phillips had gone. Ue entered the room k»pt by
Bs-tty Hicks; look’ng around for his victim, and net
seeing him, sat down and was
VEEY SOCIAL
with tho other young men. At this time Lela WL1-1 V. Wii mghain,Win. W." Everest and Gabriel Wats-.u
liams was standing at the door; in a few mcments
Phillips came in.
One of the witnesses explained what occurred aB
follows:
*Th« woman, Lela Williams, was standing between
him and somebody walked up tho passjge and just
as I got to tho door I heard Mr. Phillips say:
“YOU CAN’T HAVE HEK.”
I then stepped past Phillips inside the room. I
saw something was the matter bttween Malone and
Phil ip". I said to Malone, “he is but a boy, and
under the influence of liquor, and don't havo a diffi
culty with hitn.” Malones-id “I know lie in hut a
hoy, but be must not say so much to me.” Phillips
then walked off from Malone. Then this woman,
Lela Williams, came in between Malone and me,
and put her arms ’round Malone and said, “now
Milt., don’t have no fuss.” Malone shoved her
back and said “what did she have to do with it?
Yon 1 I wiU shoot his G—d d—n brains
out!” He drew ont his pistol aud
> DELIBERATELY FIRED AT PHILLIPS.
— A d tficnlty occurred in Holmes
county liisi Thursday, between Sueriff
D. J. Brownell and a man named Bout-
er, late of Alabama, which resulted in a
duel with shot guns. The Sheriff was
killed instantly, being shot in the breast,
and Boater severely if not mortally
wounded, receiving a load of buckshot
in his thigh.
—At a meeting composed of Teachers,
members of the Legislature and the
School Board of Washington county,
held at Vernon, a 'Teachers’ Institute
was organized to propose good second-
class teachers for the Public Schools.
—The Key West IiisuatcJi says: From
careful <-x*mi nation among our cniar
manufactories, we are enabled to state
that the weekly supply of cigars made in
this city amounts to the modest number
of 472,000, worth at the factories §35,
400.
—Mr. J. M. Auld, writing to the Rural
Carolinian from Wekiva, Orange connty
says: “ I will give you an account oi
wnat a lady in an adjoining county is
doing wi'h the gnava. I am sorry that I
canuot specify the exact proceeds of the
crop up to this time. She has twenty
bushes; has shipped tweive bushels of
ruit, for which she received four dollars
per dozen, wholesale, and a like quantity
of “marmalade,” aud she thinks her
crop is only about half gathered. The
total amount of tbe finit crop is esti
mated at forty bushels. The guava plauts
can be set at seven or eignt teet apart,
and taking the above yield as a criterion
who can doubt tLe immense orofit tnere
is in them. I know by persona* experi
ence that they will bear in two years.”

The Florida State Canvass.
From tho Savannah Republican.
Last Saturday morning the State can
v&ssers were in the office of the Secretary
of State, for the purpose of proceeding
with the election returns and declaring
what candidates were ch sen at the last
election. Before proceeding the Comp
troller desired to know if all the returns
were in, and being informed that those
from Brevard and Manatee were not re
ceived, he adjonrned the board till Sat
urday, when it was adjourned again till
Tuesday. By that time the thirty-five
davs provided for by law had elapsed, and
the canvassers proceeded. The board met,
therefore, on Tuesday, and eat with
closed doors, admitting but three repre
sentatives of each party to witness the
canvass, and make suggestions, protests
aud arguments. Seventeen counties were
canvassed on Tuesday, and a dispatch to
Jacksonville announced that six others
w<.re subsequently canvassed. Thus far
Hart so- ms to be elected. It is charged
tnat tne object in holding back tbe re
turns of Brevard and Manatee is plainly
to prevent tne Conservative Senator
elect from receiving a certificate of elec
tion and taking his seat in the Senate at
the organization of the Legislature in
January. This will throw the decision
of the matter upo* the Senate, and with
the exclusion of this one Conservative
memoer, the Radicals may have a major
ic-r and be able to declare tne Radical
candid ite in the Twenty-first district,
elected.

The Modoc Indians have retreated to
Wright’s Cave, on tbe southwest side of
Tule Lake, Oregon, with their children
and squaws, and have laid in a goon
supply of provisions. The cave is situ
ated on the high table-land, and covers
aboot three acres. It has an under-
groad entrance, narrow and easily guard
ed. It is calculated, tLao fifty Modoc
warriors, with a number from Pit river,
and several Piutes with them, »re forti
fied there. So far, fourteen settlers have
been killed in the war. Henry Miller
was tortured to death. About thirty ol
the Modocs have been killed. Four
hundred troops are in tbe field at the
present time, besides volunteers. A
party of scouts, who left Camp Fairchild
on Sunday, have not sines been heard’
from, and fears are entertained that they
have been killed or captured by the sav
ages. A decisive battle is expected at
White’s Cave, provided the Indians hold
the position long enough.

Circus vs. Circus—aurr for Damages.
—Some billboards belonging to Mr. E.
Bize, in Coiumbus, were rented to Bob-
iusou’s agent, he stating his show would
be here about a certain time. That period
passed and the boards were rented to
Barnum’s agent and he pat up bills.
Subsequently Bobmson’s man appeared
and claimed the boards, but their use
was refused. Bobinson now sues Mr.
Bize for $2,000 and Barnnm for $5,000 Stock. 9i@93.

into the evening, going to 9 o’clock. The spe ch of
Capt. Glenn was excellent in temper, convincing in
argument, and eloquent in language, and he deser.
ves credit for the zeal with whieh he looks after the
interests of the State.
THE JUDGE’S CHARGE,
which was remarkab'e for its candor and fairness,
was thou delivered, after wliich the jury retired t j
prepare their verdict. A large crowd was in attend-

indulged in.
THE VERDICT.
In little better than an hour the jury returned,
giving a verdict of guilty of murder.
THE PRISONER,
still maintaining his icy manner and stollid indiffer
ence to every human feeling, betrayed no signs of
emotion.

months thereafter. In addition to this,
there is a probable balance of $1,200 in
the Treasmy. to meet the expenses of tbe
county during theyear 1873. Therefore,
to meet the bonds due in 1873, and other
necessary expenses, Judge Harden as
sures us'hat the county tax next year
will not exceed fifty per cent of the State
tax. In addition to this favorable news,
tne roads and bridges are ail ir. splendid
