It spread rapidly and inside of five minutes the entire upper floor part of the building wherein the Baldwin Theater is situated was also a fiery furnace, and a plain view of the inte-: rior was to be had from Market street. The hotel was filled with guests. In a short time escape by the stairway was shut off and at many windows men and women appeared in their night clothes, calling piteously for firemen to rescue them. Above them the entire roof was ablaze, flames leaping high into the heavens. Thousands of people crowded the streets cheering the police and firenien as they proceeded in their work of rescuing the guests. The widow of: Senator Mahoney was carried from one of the upper stories and lowered to the ground in an unconscious condition. A man by the name~ of Frank Noon leaped from the fifth story on theMarket street side to the pavement below, striking in his descent telegraph wires, and thus escaping without injury.
