THREE PERISH IN A HOTEL FIRE.
The Proprietor, His Mother-in-Law and a Child Burned.
LANCASTER, KY., Jan. 1.-The Miller hotel was burned between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning. There were four persons in the building at the time, Edward A. Pascoe and wife, his baby, about 2 years old, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Masters. The wife only escaped. The fire started in the cellar, where it must have been smouldering all night.
The hotel had been conducted by Pascoe and he had made all arrangements to give it up to-day, having moved his furniture out of the building, which was a three-story brick, belonging to Sam Miller, of Knoxville, Tenn., and was insured for $3000. The fire is believed to have been of incendiary origin.
