BIG HOTEL FIRE
AT NEW YORK. [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] NEW YORK, Jan. 3. An invalid woman and an engineer were killed when flames swept the Hotel Marguerv, one of the most exclusive hotels in the city. Following on an unexplained explosion in the basement, flames shot up through the entire structure, through the elevator shafts, driving hundreds of residents, many of whom are prominent people, to the streets in their night attire. The damage is not yet determined. Six firemen were overcome when fighting the blaze late to-night. The police are searching the deserted suites for other fatalities.
