A HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST.

Sixty Men Supposed to Have perished in |
burning Factory at Rochester, N. Y.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 12.-The most
disastrous and fatal fire that has hap |
pened in this city for many years oc-
CURED at 7:30p. m., and the loss of life
is expected to reach between fifty and
sixty persons. A general alarm was
sounded on fire being discovered in the
packing room of the Rochester Steam
Gauge and Lantern works, an important
factory, employing a large number of
men. The locality where the fire oc-
CURED is regarded as somewhat dancer
Gus and when the report got abroad that
the lantern works and the cotton factory
in its vicinity were on fire, there wasin-
tense excitement all over the city, which
was increased at 8 o'clock, when the ru-
NOR got abroad that large number of
men had been killed. The building to
which the fire was confined was six
stories high. About sixty 4en were
working in the three upper floors, and
as soon as they found there was fire
underneath them they began to leap
from the windows, ignoring the fire es-
II
them on the south side of the building.
In these leaps quite a number Of men
were injured, many Of them SO seriously
that the, will probably die. By 9 O'Clock
! the building was entilaly destroyed and
five men had been taken out dead, ak
teen seriously injured, fourteen entirely
safe and the rest unaccovnted Tor, OF
whom quite number are Unknown by
name.
The scenes at the fire were heartrend-
| ing, and prominent among those Who
were present after the FIRE were three
priests in their surplices who admins
tered spiritual comfort to those Who
were in dying condition. The factory
was built on the high bank on the west
side of the Genessee river, and was q diff
ticult one for the fremen to get at,
4 owing to one side being entirely closed
to them.
The lantern works with stock and
\ machinery is a total loss, estimated at
about $225 900. The insurance is $179,-
900. The cause of the fire is mystery.
The men we-t to work after supper, and
all seemed to be right then. Soon after
ward Jacob Diehl, the watchman, while
making his usual rounds, discovered
!, flames making a way up through the
floor. He had barely time to give the
alarm whom he was surrounded by the
flames, but he succeeded in making the
danger known to the men on the fourth
fifth and sixth floors. These at onct
realized their position and made theil
way from the building, but before they
: all got out the structure was a seethinl
mass of fire. There was not the slight
est chance of escape by the usual door
: of exit, and the windows were at one
utilized for the purpose. The maJorit.
of the workmen lost their heads and be

ladders that were attached to the build
