SLAIN Isi lUE FaLL OF THE
SILK MILL
During The Cyclone at Heading.
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.
