plosion he was standing on the porch in
front Of the engine room. lie heard the
cries of the girls, and Immediately pro-
Coedcd to the main building. On his way
he met several Of those employed in his
rooms who were unhurt, but who kept
mp continual shrieking and could not
inform him what was the matter. Hur-
rying on he met q girl cnvcloped In
flames whom, with the assistance Of
another man, he attempted to carry away
from the building, but as they were pass
ing the engine room, the roof Of that
building was throw oft and partially fell
on them, and they were compelled TO
iorsake the injured girl TO save their own
lives. BY this time the main building
was cnveloped in flames q second and
third explosion having taken place.
Mr. Geary states that there wore about
one hundred and forty persons engaged
in the building, Of which about one hum
bred and thirty were girls, employed as
pinchers and hundlcrs; some twenty
boys were engaged as chargers and in
making cap cylinders. Mr. Geary also
states that those in his immediate en-
ploy, in rooms Nos l3 and II, all es-
capped, and that all sufferers from the
dire calamity were employed in thc
southern part of the building After

little else remained than the trunks. In

in attendance, but the condition Of the
