WILL A NEW HOTEL BE BUILT? BELIEF EX' PBESSED THAT IT WILL. Yesterday moraine at twenty-six minutes to fire o’clock the Kimball house was found to be on fire. At bait-past eight o'olock ft was a smouldering heap of ruins. For yean the burning of this great hotel has been dreaded oa a calamity reasonably sure to come, and certain to be deplorable in its results. Two things wero held to bo certain: 1. That its burning would sweep away the whole central part of the city. 2. That a great number of lives would be lost when it was burned. By favorable circumstances that were almost miraculous neither of these results came about Tbe winds were as still as death and the flames rising from the great central fire mounted straight between the four walls and went heavenward. Not a single house across the narrow streets was burned and even tbe back part of the block on which tbe Kimball sat was saved The fire began In the entrance corner of tbe boose and was providentially confined there nntil every room bad been emptied of sleeping guests. Not a life was lost though the firemen worked and the crowd lingered for hours amid the burning and falling walls. Notonenian was Injured.

Raw It Slartad, aad Wkan and Wkj-Tha Vlawi Us “First Mee” Wka Saw It. As to the exact time at which the fire orig inated there is much difference of opinion, Those who were first on the scene differ in their statements os to when the fire was started. It la certain, however, that It was not far from half-post four. At about that time the fire was discovered by several per sons and the alarm was sounded. The state ments as to the probable causes of tbe fire and its exact placo of origin also are very com Dieting. No person has been found who will state positively whero the fire originated, While those on the outside of the building were preparing to fight the flames thoso on the inside began to get a smell of the smoke, As seen by those on the outside of tbe build ing, the story of the discovery of the fire and tbe first contest with it is as follows: At the hour named a dense smoke was seen issuing from the door of the basement room at tbe southwestern corner of tbe building. The room was directly under the real estate office of Colonel George W. Adair and was used as a storage room by the Italian frnit dealer, Dcrlotti. Immediately Officer Gloer ran to tbe fire alarm box at tbe corner of Feachtree and Decatur streets and turned on the alarm. On accoat of the rubbish on Ma rietta street,where tbestrect is being repaired, there wes some delay in the hosereels reaching the spot. As the fire appeared to bo In the basement, tbe door was forced and a stream of water wAs turned on. The room was as dark as pitch, and there was no sign of fire except tbe dense smoke which boiled from under the place. Tbe room was fairly Hooded with water but the smoke increased In density and tbe firemen seeing that tbeire effots were of no avail took hose into an alleyway between the inside wall of the eouth wing and the billiard room. When the firemen failed to do effective work by throwing water in from the Wall street side they placed a hose through tbe entrance “4" and carried it into the alley marked “3." When they reached that spot it was found that between the rooms “1" and "2” there wss so much smoke that it was impossible to live there. It was impossible to determine whether the fire was In the bake shop or in tbe Italian’s place. The suffocating smoke drove the firemen from tbe alley, and the dense smoke wu changed to an occasional flash of light Suddenly the fire was seen to be taking its way up the stairway and eleva tor, marked “3" in tbe plat. The flames, left to themselves, sprang up the elevator, and in a moment the elevator hole was a sheet of flame. The draft was powerful, and the fire poured through as if fanned by a mighty bel lows. At that point uothiog but the most superhuman effort of tbe most favored and well drilled department could have saved tbe house. While tbe firemen were follow ing a false scent the flames bad taken possession of the most vulnerable part of the building and bad secured such headway that it was almost useless to fight tbe fire. When tbe elevator wu, on fire with tbe flames bursting oat at tbe top of the house,every floor in tbe build ing* wu exposed and the fire began to eat its way in every direction. Dy that time the house wu fully aroused to the danger and the guests were awakened and began to leave the burning structure. There wu a colored watchman In the bouse, and u soon u ha smelled tbe fire he began tbe investigation. He told the story of tbe origin of the fire u follows to a CanirrrcTio* man yesterday: “A door leading down to Wall street wu open and I uw the smoke coming up.
