ANOTHER STATEMENT.
BosroN, Sept. 10.

the Journal says Tie fire caught in the
spooing-room in the fifth story. A panic
seized the operatives, mostly women and
children. They did not use the escape
ladders, but huddlcd about the windows or
sprang through them in their desperation.
The flames spread so rapidly and the
smoke was SO thick that the loss of life
was terrible. Those who jumped from
the windows fell sixty or seventy feet, and
were either killed outright or suffered such
shock that they died soon afterwards.
Ten persons escaped alive. When the fire
had been got under, search was made for
the bodies, charred and bleeding. Nearly
all were in the fifth story. They were
wrapped in sacks and quilts and dripping
with blood. They were let down, put in
an express wagon and carried to the police
station or chapel. Ten bodies were recog-
nzable, but some were in fragments.
Agonized parents filled the street
with cries and shreks which
mingled with the cries of the
wounded. The following are some of the
casualties Annie Daily, leg broken; Vim
comb, internal injuries; B. Wordell, leg
broken; Israel Moorehead, arm broken
Eda Jones and Annie Devon, internal in
jurics, having jumped from the window;
