Houston, Ocd. 19.—At 2:30 o’clock this morning fire broke ont in the rear portion of the Hutchins House, one of the leading hotfels in Houston. The flames spread rapidiy to all parts of the upper stories of the building, which is a 4- steft-y structure, covering more than half a block. The guests, of whom thehous6 was full, were aroused and most of them escaped. In fact, only one fatality is so far known to have resulted from the fire. Thi9 was a person who was heard to cry for help and the firemen, looking in tne direction from which the sound came, saw a man, believed to be a guest of the hotel, sink back into the flames. The building is the property of Neu- hans Bros, and Kessler of C-beulenburg, Tex., and is valued at about $125,000. The equipment also belonged to the above firm and is probably valued at $50,000. Other losses, it is believed, will foot up about *’'50,000. Within the past few months $55,000 has been expended in remodelling and repair ing the building. The fire was confined to the hotel building, but all inside of that structure was burned. The dead man has not yet been iden tified. Advertising rates liberal.
