This afternoon a largely attended meet.
ing of citizens was held in the courthouse
20 devise some means for the relief OF the
sufferers. Over -, 900 was subscribed ON
the instant, any amount needed was prom.
ised and the entire city will be canvassed
for funds. The work OF hunting for the
dead continued all OF today, and The scenes
surrounding the mill were but repetition
Of what cnsued during part Of last night
There were fathers and mothers waiting
and beseeching the rescuoTs 10 give them
some tidings Of their missing sons and
daughters. II -has boon determined 10
push the work OF rescue all OF tonight.
The list OF deaths, rs semitic the Associated
Press tonight, is believed TO DC the first
thoroughly correct one that has vet been
published. II Is not ~ large ~ was at
Grsi feared, but still there are over thirty
dead aud n number are still missing, aud
there is hut one belief, and that IS that
probably a dozen or more OF tlio missing
arc sill beneath the debris Last night,
Immediately after the accident, and after
many whoescaycd with severe wounds had
been given upaslo lost, the number Of killed,
judging from the missing was put down nj
about loo. Many OF those injured had
been taken TO other houses than their own
for their temporary accommodation. This
afternoon they turned up. and now a niorc
correct idea of the fatal results of the dis
a.tor can be arrived at. Coroner Hoffman
has summoned jury, and tomorrow will
hold an inquest ON the bodies OF the five
men roasted 10 death in the Reading Rail-
road paint shop. lie will hold no inquest
on tie silk mill victims until nc is satisfied
that all have been tllkon out.
Very little business was done here to-
day, the city giving itself over almost en-.
tircly 10 the excitement attending tins ter
ribc disaster.
Mr.. Grimshaw, the lessee n the mill.
estimates the number dead al thiriy.fyc
20 forty. A number are 30 seriously In.
jured that they will die.
Up 10 II O'Clock tonight no more bodies
had been dug out Of the ruins. Everything
Is quiet, aud men are working with a will.
The total number OF killed Is now ri ICED
at about thirty.
Some Of those marked missing may BE-
safely at home, but IL has not We, been as-
ccrlaincd that they are safe.
The big tower and the smoke stack at
the silk mill and ten feet OF the western
wall remain standing. all'that Is left Of the
huge structure. Charles Schwank, aged
eighteen, was In the high tower when the
accident occurred. lie said 10 reporter:
