of this city, was buttled to-day, causing a
fearful toss of life. As near aa cau be burn

originated lu the fourth story. An attempt
was made to extinguish It with buckets of
water, and tho door leadlmr lo the spool-

prevent a panic; but when the llsmc's gain

them. The escape of tbo girls In the spool
room was cut 01). The territled creatures
rushed In a body for the tire escape, but the
roaring flames and tbo blinding smuke which
poured Into the room forced them to the
northeast end of tho apartment, w hero there
wsa no means of escape.
Many by this time had become Kiitl'ocatcd;
others preferring death bv falling to the
ground, sprang recklessly from the windows
snd weie picked up mangled and bleeding
dead nnd dying. Tbe excitement was terri
ble. All tbe medical men lu tho clly were
promptly on nana. Mattresses, wagoua, and
parapbernlla of the hospital were promptly
lurulshed, aud the dead dying and suffering
were attended lo. It Is certain that nearly Ik)
or 40 lives, nearly all girls, have been lost,
while the list of wounded is probably aa great.

put out lor them to slide down by, but no
sooner would a rope be lowered than there
was a rush for It, aud too many would tako
bold, when It would break, and all clinging
to it, would come down lu a bunch. Similar
scenes weie going ou In the male spinning
room. The Haines bad ascended rapidly to
the tower ou the fourth lloor, cutting of this
means of escape, but the operatives had two
ladders at the south gabje directly before
them, and were urged by the overseers and
