PENNED IN A BURNING Mil The
scenes at the burning of ndenberger's
mill in Philadelphia, on Thursday. were
frightful. The hands, cut off from the
stairways by the flames, rushed to the
windows, crying frantically to the crowd
below to save them. 1t was proposed by the
crowd TO form square in the street and
catch the men and girls as they leaped out,
but, before anything could be done young
woman leaped from the fifth story Il
seemed that every bone in her body was
broken, for she never breathcd again
After this the imprisoned people seemed to
become frenzied, and began jumping from
the windows like sheep-now man. then
a woman or half grown girl, until in II
few minutes eleven human beings, with
fractured skulls and broken limbs, were
being carried to the neighboring saloon,
on the floor of which body after body WIS
laid in row until vehicles were procured
to convey them TO the hospitals. By thi,
time the relatives of the victims began to
gather outside the building and cries of
mothers outside 10 their children still in
the burning rooms. and their lamentations
over those who had jumped and been
dashed to pieces. were heartrending to
hear When the firemen were able to en-
ter the building, they found on the third
floor the bodies of two females burned al.
most to II crisp, and man badly scorched
and dead, but before they could search
| further, the fourth floor, with it's heavy
machinery, came crashing through and
they barely escaped with their lives.

1t is worth while to contrast the American

success. and moved into Virginia where
he was opposed by lafayette and Wayne.
CORVALLIS went down the Peninsula and
in the summer was ordered to New York
by Clinton who feared an attack by WASH

had put some of his troops on transports
and had the rest at Portsmouth when the
order was countermanded. CORVALLIS
took possession of Yorktown September

West Indies under DeGrasse arrived in
the Chesapeake. DeGrasse landed some
troops to join the forces under Lafayette
