NAMES OF TnE DEAD AND MESSING.
LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan. HILL r. x.-lf we
could but forget the occasion Of our crowded
streets, re should at once conclude that some
great orcason for gn1a day had arrived, but
tie air Of sadness aud almost despair, SO visi-
b'y depicted on the countenances Of our cti.
Gems, keeps the dark reality constantly before
our minds. Every train from every direction
comes In laden to. its utmost capacity with liv-
ing friends. When We consider that not less
thnn one hundred and fifty long passenger cars
mare been ID here to-day, some realizing idea
nay be arrived at in regard to the number of
our visitors
The morning aud forenoon was used III re-
moving the rubbish, after being sufficiently
cooled; in order, it possible, 10 get the bodies
known to be still under the ruins. Quite num-
ber we're got out. Two persons were taken out
alive early in the morning. squad Of eau
Tassers was organized, and the whole city laid
out into small districts, and pretty thorough
canvass was entered into, the men going from
house to house, thereby ascertalning in every
family where persons we're either wounded,
missing, or safe. The summing up shows that
one hundred and sixty are missing. This enl-
braces all taose Of whom no tidings have been
obtained. It is admitted by those who hare
gone into the Investigation, that fifay-two per-
sons nre yet buried in the brick and mortar.
One hundred and thirty dead bodies hare been
removed 10 the City Hall, or been delivered to
recognizing friends. II:

Previous to tic fire, two sisters were toget1-
er mud comparatively unhurt. TIey would have
been rescued. Hearing the roafpf the flames,
they exclaimed, Oh, God We must die!" Onc
woman shrieked out plainly that tue fire was
burning her hair, but the flames so IN si1en:ed
her crles. 1t has already been stated that one
man cut his throat lest he should he burned
alive. Mr.. Branch told his friends who we're
dragging for him that be should resort to the
same means to escape the tortures Of the fire.
BE was persuaded to desist and was fortunately
rescued. The awful death that some died Of by
fire WIS fearfully attested by their bnked and
blackened forms when taken ont, being in Moth
ing like those Of human beings.
LATER DESPATCH.
LAWRENCE, Mass, jan. 12.-Atthc inquest to-
day, Jesse Glover, oversccr of the repair shop
Of the Pemberton Manufacturing Co., testified
that be at times seen cracks in the walls, but
nothing that he considered serious. He had
never strengthened the walls with iron work,
but had heard it was 80 strengthened. lie
thought the building was weak, hut apprehcnd-
ed no danger; did not think it is as strong as
such buildings usually are; had heard that the
timbers were not boited to the walls. Iron trus-
ses had BEEN put into the building before he
went to work there. The boiler appeared per
fectly sound, it was in 4 separate building. He
fexanined the building since the accident.
Mr. Chase, agent Of the mill, testified as to
his escape. he said there was less weight at
the end which fell than at The ether Four ly
frames, in the 9Th story, we're moved that day,
from the part which fell to another place. They
weighed q ton and half. There we're probably
500 persons in the building, lie did not know
how tue fire caught. The Essex Company built
the mill. He did not know how It was con
structed. There we're cracks each side Of the
chimney in the building, caused by the sway
ing Of the chimney. The chimney had broken
away from the building and iron had been
placed around to strengthen it, but rot from
any fear of the building itself. There hare
been no new cracks near the chimney for two
years; knew Of no other cracks in the building.
Was less motion in the building than in others.
lie considered il safe rs it had stood six years.
John Patterson, oyersecr in the weaving
room IN the basement, testified rs to his escape
Had heard a statement TINT the building was
unsafe, but never noticed anything about it to
make him think 80. Mr.. Corliss who put in the
shafting had told VIM, IN orerseer, he did not
consider the building safe. lie also understood
he had said two upright shafts would, in time,
shuke the end Of the building out. Don't think
over thirty persons, employed in my room,
were Killed; there were 314 employed there
last Monday.
John Pinter, wooden manufacturer in. the
Washington mill, testified, that he with others
helped what they could. We got thu roof OF
and took out machinery, wood aud bodies; some
men were near me with lanterns, and rs they
| were not doing any good, said, " for Gsds
sake take care Of those lanterns, there is cotton
all around here" Saw four men gong to hole
| with two lanterns and shortly after saw them
conc out with only one lantern; in moment
after he saw the flames; ths men ran into the
crowd aud lie after them, but could not catcl,
them; thr lanterns were guarded ones. and l
thiuk ther were filed with oil; The fire took
from loose cotton hanging about the carding
| machine.
Richard II. plummer testified thut various
men went to work to clear away with axes and
bars, mud Two men had lanterns to see to work
by. by some accident one lantern broke or fell,
aud when the flames struck the cotton, the fire
at once sprung up.
The inquest will last several days.
