sband was dead, after three years, married another and emigrated to St. Louis. Her name became Mathews. Her two children, of whom John Hardwick was father, died, and all traces of John were obliterated, except from a very remote corner of her heart.

It is probable that he lost his presence of mind in consequence of excitement and terror, as he was spoken to by those below, and told to wait a few moments and a ladder would be raised, by which he might safely reach the ground. William A. Carland, of the well-known firm of Carland & Beirne, of "Gothic Hall, " also lost his life. Two women employed in the hotel, Bridget Mulcahey, cook, and Ann McAula
