SIX BODIES ARE RECOVERED
FROM RUINS OF BROWN
HOUSE. MANY INJURED.
The list of dead and injured from
the fire which destroyed the Brown
House at Macon early Monday morn
ing is still incomplete. -
The fire started from an explosion in
the basement of the building near the
hotel occupied by the Brunner Drug
Company, and soon spread to the hotel
which was partly built ‘'of frame and
which was one of the oldest in the
city.
The building burned fast. There
were more than 100 guests in the hotel
and many were cut off from fire es
capes, i 5
A general alarm was sent in and ev
ery piece of fire fighting apparatus
in the city was sent to the scene. Still
the flames continued to gain headwav
and guests despairing of rescue began
leaping from the upper windows.
Explosion Starts Fire.
Horace Weems, night clerk at the
hotel, declared the explosion occurred
at 1:35 a. m. He was stunned and only
dimly heard what he believed to be a
second explosion. A huge hole was
blasted in the tiled floor of the lobby
of the hotel and the elevator hurled to
the second floor. Fume laden flames
burst through the opening.. The tele
phone system was put out of com
mission and soon the lights went out.
- Panic immediately broke out among
the guests on the upper floors. Men
and women began fighting to reach thc
exits. They began leaping from win
daws. All were thinly clad in their
night clothing.
Many persons were carried down
ladders by the firemen. :
J. K. Hayes and Harry Swansburg,
of Atlanta, climbed through a window
to the roof of the Collier Manufactur
ing Company’s plant. A wall of flames
burst through the windows behind
them. Both leaped and fell on a pile
of iron. |
Then lives were further endangered
by crumbling walls. At 2:27 a. m. part
of the front wall gave way and many
spectators in the streets had narrow
escapes from falling debris. It is be
lieved several in the building were car
ried to their deaths by falling bricks
and timbers. Showers of flame and
sparks shot high into the air and they
were engulfed in the fiery volcano
which the interior of the big building
‘had become.
~ Two other hotels near the Brown
‘House were saved.
Ten injured persons from the fire
were being treated in city hospitals.
Efforts to arrive at anything like an
accurate estimate of the victims of the
fire wére hampered by the destruction
of.the hotel register and the fact that
many of those rescued were taken into
private homes. It probably will be late
in the week before an accurate list can
be compiled.
‘WIGWAM HOTEL IS CON
i SUMED BY FIRE MONDAY
Is Estimated That It Will Cost $70,-
’ 000 to Replace Building.
The Wigwam hotel at Indian Spring,
one of the celebrated summer resort
hostelries of the state, was totally de
stroyed by fire early Monday morning.
The total loss to the owners, Ed Ja
cobs, T. W. Hooks and J. Freeman
Hart, of Macon, is estimated between
$20,000 and $25,000. Only $38,000 in
insurance was carried on the hotel. It
is estimated that it will cost more than
$70.000 to replace the building. Mr.
Jacobs and Mr. Hooks left the hotel
Sunday afternoon for Augusta, about
six hours before the hotel caught fire.
'DAWSONIAN WILL SOON
» COMPLETE NAVAL CRUISE
Mr. Foster Geise Is Expected Home
On Furlough at Early Date.
Mr. Foster Geise is now on the high
seas homeward bound from a wonder
ful trip with the United States naval
crew on the battleship South Carolinfa.
The cruise has taken him to Norway,
where he spent three weeks sight-see
ing. The same length of time was
spent at Lisbon. The ship will touch at
Gibraltar and Cuba back to Annapolis.
Mr. Geise will then be given leave of
absence for a vacation which he will
spend with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
T. C. Geise. He is expected to reach
Dawson in about two weeks.
