HINGIIAMPTON, N. Y., .Inly 23.
Tbo ntimber of dead In the fire In
the overall factory of tlio Hinghnmp
ton Clothing Company Is estimated at
more than 50. About 125 employes,
mostly women and girls, were trap
ped In tbe burning walls. Of these
only ::i nro known to have escaped.
KlKhty per cent of the slrla were
Americans. Sixteen charred bodies
are unidentified. The Identified dead
are:

I.oulso llartwell.
Miss Alvln White.
Mary I'ryor.
The financial loss Is estimated at
2(111,(1110.
The heavy loss of life Ib believed
to bo duo to tho fact that tbo em
ployes, thinking one of tbe frequent
fire drills was being held, were slow
In leaving the building. Women ami
children too weak to go further,
dropped exhausted on n single fire
eacnpo In tho renr of the building
and wore literally ronBtcd to denth,
portions of tholr bodies dropping Into
tile street. OtherB Jumped and were
killed. Half n dozen of tho panic
stricken girls rushed Into tho elcvnt
or which was standing on the fourth
floor. A minute Inter all dropped
to their denth.
President Freoinan of the clothing
company believes a lighted cigarette
thrown Into n heap of rubbish caused
tho disaster. Klro Chief Hogg de
clares tho fire escape was Inadequate.
It fairly withered from tho heat, he
said. The building was four stories,
a brick structure, II feet wide by
Kit) feet long and wns built 18 years
