FOUR DEAD AS THE RESULT OF A HOTEL FIRE IN LANSING, MICHIGAN, ON THURSDAY NIGHT.

Lansing, Mich., April 29 -- Four men are dead as the result of a fire that destroyed the Bryan block on Michigan avenue, this city, last night. The dead are:
JEROME STILES.
JOHN VOILIN.
RANSOM DINGMAN.
JOHN REY.
All were laborers who occupied rooms in the hotel on the upper floors of the building. STILES fell from a window on the top floor, where he was waiting for rescuers to reach him. He died at five o'clock this morning as a result of the frightful burns and injuries which he received. Bodies of the other men were taken from the ruins this morning. They were so badly burned as to be unrecognizable.
