Guests of an Orange County Inn Found Shelter In Farmhouses.
Special to The New York Times.
MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., June 27.---The Mountain View Summer hotel in the town of Mount Hope, near this city, was burned last night, with all its contents. The fire started about 8:30 o'clock in the evening from a defective chimney, and had gained such headway before it was discovered that only a few articles of furniture could be saved. A number of Summer visitors at the hotel saved most of their effects and sought shelter in near-by farmhouses.
The hotel was owned and managed by Edward Caldwell of New York, and accommodated fifty guests. A barn adjoining the hotel was also destroyed.
