Middle Georgia Argus W. F. SMITH, - KD'i'OE THTJRBDAYMOBNIKG OCT2O 1681 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. jtffcauhcturera of tag orlc ualpad only genuine • Star Wood Thumps, Champion Wind Kills, Iron Bumps, Bofej Klckl© (ifinlerd, Patent Door ana Win dow Screens, Etc. ). y j ■.
