C THE HOTEL BELMONT FIRE VON RUCK RKIM.Il'.S TO II R HAWKINS Tlir Latter CharKea That There Wns Mo Watchman and That Dr. voii Knck (Save No Alarm A ttlrouc Denial on All PointM. Mr. A. Ii. Hawkins, of I'cnsncola, Flu.,' well know u in North Carolina, who was in the Hotel liclmoiit on the night of the lire, furnishes Tub Citizisn the following statement over his own signature. linnoK Tim Citizi-n: Ilr. von Kuck cannot he loo severely censured for the manner in which the hotel was conducted on the night of the fire. In the first place there was no watchman in the building, only a colored bell boy, win, had brought up a cot from the basement to sleep on while not needed to answer bell calls. The first alarm, I learn, was given by the head waiter who slept in the quarters some distancc.iw.iy. Most of the passage lights in the hotel were extinguished before I retired. There was no alarm of fire given on the second floor of the new building, neither on the third floor of the new building. I know this to be a fact because 1 left the office at ,1 o'clock. The only disturbance thai caused suspicion on my part ol there being danger of fire iabout 23 minutes later) was the removal of Hr. von Kuck's wile, whose room was op posite mine. This caused me to get up and rcc what the matter was. When I got up and went out I gave the alarm of fire, which must have aroused many along this passage. When Dr. von Kuck came along the passage, to take his wile out, he and those with him, should have given the alarm of fire to the occupants of the rooms on this floor. It should have been the dutv of Dr. von Kuck to carrv a sufficient force with him, not only to take out his own wile, but to have taken out a lady from Florida, an invalid, who had not been out ol her room for a week, and who was under his special charge. lint that helpless lady was lett to get out the best wnv she could, which was to jump from the second floor to the ground. I nm confident that Dr. von Kuck had not been asleep, lie had told me and others that he never went to bed until after 1 o'clock, and if he had done so on that night it was an exceptional case As I passed out I saw him in full dress, with a small hand grenade in Ins hand. pretending to put the hie out, when the entire building was on fire, this being after he had carried his wife down to the pavilion and ptnc-.'d her upon a mattress. There was not a ludderupon the place. In two minutes after t lie voting ladies in the third storv had tvt-.ipi-d by the omcr sleps attached to the walk, the steus were all ablaze, and in a few min utes more the ladies would rave been confined in the third story at the mere of the flames, .,11 on o. count of no alarm of lire being given in thai part ol the building-, as 1 was uotified by several of the ladiis who were awake. Mr. Steele, who pretended to be the manager, never was known to stay there at night, except on two or three occas ions. Had this fire occurred two hours later, with only the bellboy, one-half of the oc cupants of the hotel would have been burned. There could have been no help for it. 1 learn that most of the servants were using every effort to take thestores out of the store room, and I also hear that there came very near being consid erable trouble between whites and dark ies over whiskey that had been saved. Instead of Dr. von Ruck's having his employes engaged in saving baggage of the occupants of the hotel and awakening guests, they were busv with saving the stores, thereby causing great loss to the visitors, which could have licen obviated if he had eared to do so. A, I!. Hawkins. Dr. von Ruck's AiiHwcr. IviHToii Tun Citizen: In acknowledg ing your courtesy of showing me the letter in today's issue by A. B. Hawkins, allow 111c to s ly that, this gentleman willfully and knowingly misrepresents facts tint arc known to many others be sides myself. There was u colored watchman on duty and he had passed the elevator on the first floor not more than fifteen min utes before the alarm of lire was given. The man had not gone asleep on a cot, and in lact he had carried water to mom 22 only a few minutes before the alarm of fire was given. In doing so he had to pass to pass the elevator twice. Mr. Hawkins tells a deliberate lalsehood and proves it by his own statement when he snvs that Ins suspicion ol tire was aroused when I removed mv wife from her room, liccause he states afterward that ns he went out he saw me endeavor to nut out the fire. The li uth, however, is, that 1 was awakened by a noise 111 the hall, and not knowing whut it was, dressed myself 111 innts und coal (not in lull dress,) and ookiug into the hall I saw a bright light near the elevator, and before I even called to my wife or other members of my family I ran to the elevator. It was not burning so much but what I hoped to accomplish something with the Miller chemical lireenginesof which there were two close nthumiiand I discharged the contents of them and another which one of the servants brought to me into the burning elevator shall. While doing so, and with my family asleep, two of them sick, without much smoke or fire in the ball, this gentleman who would lie my eensurer frnntically rushed by and got out uf the house when there was not the slightest cause for hurry as yet. Seeing my etVui ts useless, 1 returned to my wile's roomliist calling fircnud look ing into nil the guests rooms 111 this hall, but there was not 11 single person in uny of the rooms cither trout or back. The room doors stood wide own, and the lady Ironi Honda be mentions had also left her room I then carried out my wile, lu the meanwhile Miss Grace Moore had awakened the rest of my lainlly and they were the Inst ones to get out. I never saw Mrs, von Kuck to the pavilliou myself, but gave her in charge of two servants who carried her out. 1 next endeavored to see if Mrs. Koss had got off from the porch where she and others had escaped. I only found my son and sister-in-law, together with a lady and child, on that end porch, and sent at once lor a ladder. In the mean w hile one ol them jumped oil' and the others were helped down before the ladder arrived. My next duty I felt to be the prevent tion of explosion from the gasoline tank, and I went to the proper place, incurr ing no small risk, and closed the valves. Ht this time there was not a person lett in the building and only then did I go to my family to see to their needs. The removal of provisions and wines was superintended by the steward, but nothing of my property was saved, nor was there an endeavor to save it on the part of myself or my servants until every person had left the building. Thnt the means for escape were ample, is fully attested by the fact that every one got out, and no one in the house needed to jump or incur any risk in their endeavor to save themselves. 1 do not deem it necessary to further justify my course during the fire and would act as I did again under similar circumstances.

Alexander, lull Young stopped the scoring hy pull mg in Carter's fly and putting it to first 111 lime to make a double play anil reliie 1 lie side. The ninth innirg was one that made lluneoinbitcs almost bite the dust. Three ol the five errors made by Buncombe were made in this inning, and the result was three runs and nobody out, Rhodes F. Allen and C. Allen scoring. The peo ple were wild with excitement. Hats, umbrellas, canes and various articles of wearing apparel rose high in the air and things looked serious lor Buncombe.
