THE FACTORY HORROR.
A SCENE OF WILT) DESPERATION
AND DISPAin.
Philadelphia, October 13.—-The
lire at Landersberg’s mill last night,
which was so disastrous to jife and
property, originated in the finish
ing rooms on the second floor, end
spread upwards through the build
ng with amazing rapidity
About 45 of the hands, 12 of
whom were were at work on
his floor, but a undo. it •* wore en
gaged ill the'spinning <U; arl.acnt
jn the
tairways at either md of thebuild
ng were roon ablaze. The bridge
connecting the budding with, anoth
er mill was r hut off from fmpromd.
>? fire-proof door.-, and in the it -
-i 9of ire t. cape j at, .Ac lin-tani
ensued among the men and
■omen con!: ied withtn the building
hey rushed to me whitlows crying
rantically to tl. ■ " A to save
them. it was proposed by the
.row lto f>w; squ: res in the street
md cactli U.e men and gh *•: as they
leaped out, but before anything
could be Cmo a young woman
I aped from the fifth story. It
< emed tin t e very bone in her body
uas broken, for ehe never breathed
again after this. The imprisoned
people seemed lo become frenzeid,
and, although the crowd outside
sought to encourage them by shout
ing that help would speedily be
there, they, began jumping from
the windows like sheep. A man,
apparently bereft of reason, flung
himself headlong to the street and
while his body was still in the air
pthers followed. Now a man, then
a woman or a half grown girl, until
.in a few minutes eleven human be
ings, one and all unconscious with
fractured skulls and broken limbs
were being carried by tender hands
to a neighboring saloon, on the
floor of wli ich body after body was
laid in a row until vehicles were
procured to convey them to the hos
pitals.
By this lime the relatives of ihe
victims to gather on the out
ride of the building, find the cries
of the mothers oulside to their chil
dren still in the burning room, and
their lantetitations over those who
had jumped and been literally dash
ed to pieces, were heart-rending to
hear.
When were able to en-
they found on the
door ij 1 8 ° adieu of two females,
burned a, crisp, and a man
badly scorched and dead. Before
they could search further,the fourth
floor, with its heavy machinery
came crashing through, and they
barely escaped witlrtlieir lives. The
firemen were compelled then to de
sist in their labors, because the
door*! had gone through to the
ground, and the machinery, charred
wood and what remained of thd un
fot ’ mate operatives, ten or a dozen,
were mangled together in an unrCc
'gnizable mass, with the seething
and. sending out columns of steam
h ocf c water was poured upon it.
'even persons are know n to oe dead
and twenty-three injured, mostly
young women.
The victims were carried off in all
directions, some to their homes,
uue to houses close by, and others
■> various hospitalise that the ex
.c; nun oer canndFbe stated. Phv-
s olans say that nearly* every one
of the cases admitted to St. Marys
Hospital will result fatally. The
number of deaths will probably ex
;ed twenty—there being ten dead
toques in the ruins. Had the fire
occurred in daylight, fully 400 peo
ple would have been compelled to
ight for life with the flasks.
Within ail hour the flames were
brought under control, leaving the
' alls Handing, but the Inside en
tirely gutted out. The loss in prop
erty wilhamount to $65,000, to off
>ett which there is an insurance of
$50,000. Some of the workmen fd
ti ibute the origin ibf the fire sparks
from the electric light falling among
•be waste. Others attribute the
udden spread to the influence o
’he over-heated wires. The Fame
mill was burned in 1877.
Two bodies have‘been recovered
this morning from the ruins.
Up to noon today the number of
dead bodies recovered as reported
to the coroner was eleven, of which
are at the morgue, two at their
home” arid four St Mary’s hospital.
The deputy coroner visited the scene
of the d ’Raster this morning and
learned the means of escape from
t o building were inadequate. The
only theory of the origin of the tire
was that already advanced—the
electric light.
District Attorney Graham said
to-day, in regard to the fire at Lsn
dersbergers mill, last night, that
tue owner of the mill can be indict
ed for manslaughter, for neglect to
put un i re escapee.
