The 1 iist of Fatalities Now Reaches Over 100. Reading, Pa., Jan 10.— There ijmourning this morning and sor row in many households in Read ing to-day A pall ofdealh hangs over the city. Fathers and moth ers and sisters, relatives and friends, are grief stricken over the work of last night. Over one hundred spirits are hnshel forever in death as the result of the wreck and ruin wrought in this cify by the storm of last night. The cy clone left the entire city in dark ness, which was only relieved by electric lights and huge bonfires which shed their lurid glareontho scene of death. All night. long bravo and will ing hands assisted in the work of the dead, The disaster is fully as bad as reported in these dispatches last night, The list of fatal cases will fully reach one hundred and may be more. Hospitals and un dertakers establishments are filled with victims. Physicians are all busy aiul many private houses have bean opaned lor the accom modation of the injured. When j the first gray streaks of early mor ning appeared it portended a beau tii’ul and happy day but not for the grief stricken residents of Il\ad-. ing The smiling sun appeared jand everything was directly in J contrast wit h the fury of last- night. Then everything war. dark, dismal and foreboding and finally wound up in the sacrifice of one hundred lives. , I To-day all is again bright and glorious in the Heavens, as 1 hough moc ring the work of last n ght. The ruined silk mill presents a scene of desolation. The Polish church disaster several months age was one of the most horrible acci dents that had startled the commu nity, but the Joss of life by that fa tal cave-in of tiie floor when the dedication ceremonies were being conducted on a quiet Sunday af ternoon sinks into comparative in significance when placed in a par allel with the awful visitation of last evening Wards of sympathy and heartfelt tokens of condolence will doubtless not be wanting, but (hy will bo meaningless expres sions if unaccompanied with on;e substantial oiler of assistance to some of the families who have been so suddenly and heavily stricken. For the purpose of eff ering tln’3 needed aid, Mayor Ken ney at 2 o'clock this morning is sued an apeal for help. The statement of eye-witness. The only eye-witness to (ho disast er, 60 far ns is known, was Mrs. Genimil, residing at 1150 Mulber ry street. At about twenty minules of 6 o’clock, she said to a reporter, *ri heard an awful crash, and thinking it was anew house wh'ch is being put up alongside of us, ran to the front door. A great cloud of dust hung over the silk mill and 1 could hear the crashing of the timbers ami the roar ol the falling walls. The next moment 1 saw the whole mill a great heap of ruins from the midst of which came sucii awful moaning and groaning and terrible cries as I never want to hear again. Not a soul did I see coma out of the nidi and it seemel many min utes to me before anybody came to thespot. I stood therein the door like one struck dumb, until my husband came running from his work ” Teams of every description-cm nibusses, funeral coaches, fire wa gons, hospital vans, and private ve hides, were pressed into service and were running rapidly to and from the scene of disaster all night long, bearing the bodies of the wounded, dying and dead to their homes or to different hospitals. From the statement of some ol those who escaped from the build ing, it appears to have gone down in an instant. There was a loud crash of breaking: of limber and persons in the mill rushed toward the main doors. A good many of them succeeded in getting out, while four girls saved themselves by jumping fram second story win dows. The first rumbling noise was fol lowed instantly bv the falling ol ihe building, the upper stories go ing first with ifs human load. Had it not been for the tart that but few of Ihe hands were on the third and fourth floors at the lime, scarce ly a life w; uld have been saved Mr George Giimshaw. one of (be proprietors of the mill—who was in the office at the time and barely escaped with his life, having re ceived several severe wounds on the head—slated that there were, to the best of iris knowled;. e, aboui 275 persons, principally girls and toy?,in the establishment at the rime ot the occurrence.
