Terrible Cata.trophs a. Lawrsrce.


One OF those terrible events, involving
great destruction Of life and property, the
painful details Of which mako the heart sick,
occurred In Lswrencs. Mas, on Tuesday
last.
Tho Pemberton mill was q large brick
building Of elk stories and two wings. u,
wa. considered weak before the machinery
was PIT In, and twenty tons Of iron rods
we're used 10 staying It up. Those strength
encd the building. but did no, fully restore
confidence In IL. II was In full operation,
a, the time Of the disaster, employing sir or
seven hundred operatives.
A, Eve o'clock Tuesday afternoon. the
main building fell mass Of ruins. burying
with Il nearly all at work In the main build
ing. The scene became at once ons OF the
most appalling character. The people gath
cred about and commenced 4, once to liber-
ate the sufferers. Many we're taken out.
on. in four being already dead. while the
living we're in most instances badly injured.
Many were killed in removing portions Of
the rubbish. while Others had limbs broken
or torn out.
but the scene that beggars all description
wa. the discovery that the runs we're on
fire. The nisrciless element swept on, until
the whole "a. mas, Of fame. hurying to
eternity the unfortunate people who were
,,ill In the RUNS. but not dead. Two hun.
drcd are though, to have persisted in this
manner,-and hi. mus, be moderate est.
mate. The place !. now a mass Of blacken-
ed ruins. mingled with the eharrSd aesh
and hone. Of lh. dead.
Every eTor, was made by the people OF
Lawrence to s,,rica,e the sufferers. and to
afford them medical attendance. doing all
that human kill could DO. Other cities
we're promr, in sending aid.
The event !. the most mournfal that has
occurred in this country, and will be the
more widely iclt from the character OF the
persons employed, being drawn from large
extent Of country. Il will send thrill Of
horror to many heart and throw the pail
Of death over manga happy household
Throughout, New England.
A. yc, no definite statement OF the mum
Der killed can be made.
Latest. A thorough canvass shows iG2
persons missing. 100 dead bodies have
been taken IRON the ruins; and IL il
thought 30 Aro stIll buried in the ruins,
thousand. Of people are rushing to the city,
to ascertain the fate ct friends.
