LAWRENCE, MASS, Feb. 3.-The jury of inquest
of the Pemberton Mill calamity rendered their YER
dict last evening. 1t Is quite lengthy, embracing
careful review Of the testimony. The jury find
that, from all the evidence adduced before them,
they do not believe that the owners of said mill
at the time of demolition ever had reason to
distrust its security. The jury further find that the
fire, originating after the fall Of said mill, was
caused by the accidental breaking of lantern In
| the hands Of some person to them unknown and
at the time actually engaged in aiding, assisting,
and rescuing sufferers then alive and beneath the
| flooring of the mill.
Upon all of which several finding the Jury deter
mine and say the direct of the fall Of this mill
was the weakness and insuficency of the cast iron
snoring that in the thinness Of the brick walls and
| the manner of constructions and length of span
from support to another beneath the floor tim
bers, were additional causes, and aided In the gem
eral demolition of the building that sofar actual
defects in the cast iron pillars existed the RESPONSE
bility rests upon Albert Fuller the former contract
ing agent and foreman of the Eagle Iron foundry,
/ then at West Boston that upon Chas. u. Bgelow,
being the architect, well as the superintendent
of this structure rests all the responsibility arising
direct weakness from insecurtya in or about
the general construction of said buildings that the
walls were laid under his supervision; that the
| timbers and flooring were in every respect CON
structed and located as he originally designed that
the inner supports of cast iron, previous to cree
| ton, had his approval and were by him adopted as
in all parts safe and secure; that such inspection
as he required was given to the iron pillars; and
| that any want of skill in designing, any error of
| Judgment in approving and adopting, and any want
of due care and caution in properly testing the diff
ferent parts of the structure on his part appear
/ ing to that extent rendered him responsible for the
| dreful catastrophe involving the death Of those
