Glasgow weekly times. (Glasgow, Mo.) 1848-1861, 1860-01-19

iron Stats were put in 10 save it from fall
ing by IFS own weight. From the best in
formation that can be gathered, the build
ing appeared 10 fall from the eastern
corner or end. 1t fell iuwards. The Fire
Department at once repaired TO the spot,
but there being no fire, they at once set TO
work with will, to remove the rubbish
They very soon reached some rooms, SO
that the dead and wounded were taken out
as fast as they could be reached.
Mr.. Chas. Bachelor helped remove some
26, in various conditions, some still living.
Mr.. Branch, overseer, has not been found.
The City Hall has been converted into O.
temporary Hospital for the dead and woun-
ded till recognized. Mr. Palmer was deep
ly buried in the ruins all the lime, and think
ing there was no prospect of being extrica-
ted, cut his throat to end his sufferings.-
Still he was taken out and lived some time.
One woman, in the part Of the mill still
standing, became frightened and threw her
self cut Of the fifth story door, breaking an
arm and injuring herself SO that she cannot
recover. The laboring force Of the mill is
about nine hundred and sixty, and it is sup
posed that about seven hundred human be-
ings were actually buried in the ruins. A
woman just rescued, says there are some
twenty-five more in the vicinity of her yet
alive.
About half past nine fire was discovered.
This additional horror struck terror to the
hearts that haa before been hopeful Of saw
ing more lives. Still the removal went on.
The force pump and engines on the ground
were at once got 10 work, and have been
I pouring torrents on, SO that at ll:30 The
fire does no. seem to gain, and hopes are
entertained that itswill be stayed.
Those near the breaking out Of the fire
were almost on the point Of ex,ricatipg q
woman not much hurt, but The flames drove
them back, and the woman, it is supposed,
perished. The Mayor has telegraphed for
the Lowell firemen, who will arrive about
one o'clock, midnight.
Through the almost superhumane efforts o.
the firemen, the Washington Mills are now
considered out Of danger.
OF the Duck Mill, the prospect is not SO
good. Everything that can be done is being
done. Fire companies are present from all
the nsighboring towns.
Between forty and fifty physicians are in
attendance at the City Hall and other places
wherever the injured need their services.
The ruins having burned up, it will be
many days before a true knowledge of the
number of the killed and wounded can be
arrived at.
The fire which finally sacrificed the bu-
red human victims, caught, without doubt,
from lantern of burning fluid, which was
accidentally dropped. One fireman drop
ped down dead in the street.
The streets are flied with a mass Of hui
man beings, every one eager TO do, and see,
and hear. Friends, who before the fire,
were alternating between hope and fear, are
nowsssetting down into hopeless despair.
In ten minutes The whole mass of ruins
has become one sheet of flames. The
screams and meanings of the poor buried
creatures can be distinctly heard, but no
power can save them.
The Pemberton Mills are now a black
smoking mass of brick, mortar and human
ity, promiscuously mingled. Probably not
less than two hundred beings perished in
the flames. The Washington Mill was in
great jeopardy, the wind blowing towards
the Duck Mill, whose counting rooms
touches the Pember,on.
