have ever been called upon TO chronicle. Viewer ha,

From The Boston Journal, Jan. u.
We give some particulars related 70 us by gen.
tleman who wss at the ccc1e OF the Disaster.
The mill consisted of large man building OF SIX
stories IN bgls aud OF two small wings Nearly all
of the main building fcl. 4 general alarm was at
once rased the bells rung, and as the sad story
flew from mouth TO mouth, II created general panic.
Thousands hooked t. the scene OF the disaster, very
msny OF whom had relatives and friends in the mill.
Measures were promptly taken 10 clear the ruins aud
relieve those who might survive. The mill employed
about six hundred operatives, some of whom had for
tunaeiy left az o'clock, and others were i'll the wings
which were not destroyed From the best information
which our informant could obtain there were probably
frem three To five hundred buried IN the ruins ~
these forty had been taken ont dead when the train
left at s. o'clock p. m. About one in four who were
taken out dead and nearly all the others were
more or ess wounded of them probably fatally.
The tcenc in the streets of Lawrence agonizng
in the extreme. Husbands and wives parents aud
children, were rushing 70 and fro, wraging their
hands aud calling for missing relatives The mangled
bodies of the dead aud of the wounded were conveyed
from the scene of the disaster soon as recovered In
vehicles or ltters, or in the arms OF friends.
Their appearance was heart sickenng. The eroans
OF those who were still buried under the ruins
could be heard for q great distance, and vito the
tcreams of relatives and friends added to the fearful
excitement which everywhere prevailed.
Everything was beng done that human exertions
could achieve TO relieve those who yet living.
II as feared, however, that more than twentyfour
hours must eapse before the ruins eOuld be 40 far
cleared away that the full extent of the loss OF life
would be known.
Teegraphic dispatches were Immediately sent TO
Lowell, HaveIhl, Boston, and Manchester requesting
the attendance of surgeons, and IL probable that
there would be lack Of medical attendance for the
wounded
The Pemberton Mills were built about seven years
ago by corporation, which became involved by the
failure OF Lawrence, Stone g. Co. 1t contained COO
looms, and about 80, 900 spindles. The property was
sold about a year ago, to Messre. George Howe and
David Nevins of this city, for 100000. The mill has
since been operated by them, and has been doing a
very successful business.
