Tiers were hung with SmilaX, and the

,ostures, the living all suffering from
he most terrible wounds, and some al
most scared to death. A reporter en-
cred what was once the basement of
he building, and, cropping his way
through the debris, noticed
FIVE BODIES OF YOUNG GIRLS
'ying close together. He tried to pull
them out, but they were pinned down.
md it was impossible to get them out.
They were dead and beyond all human
lid. Up to 10:30 tonight, probably the
bodies of dozen dead have been taken
out, while the greater portion of the re-
mainder were still under the ruins. The
work of rescue will be pushed all night
,ut it may be far into tomorrow before
all the bodies are taken out. The res
cuers still have the greatest hTIes that
some of those inside are still living. All
is chaos and confusion around the mill.
The managers are missing, and the cor
rect number is merely guess work. 1t
may not be over forty. and then again,
at this hour, there is likelihood that it
will
REACH SIXTY OR EIGHTY.
The silk mill was built about four
years ago. The builders were Reading
capitalists, and the cost of putting it up
was S63,O00. The mill was leased to
Grimshaw brothers, of Paterson, N. j.,
where they also operate similar mills,
and they have been running 1T ever
since. The machinery they put in the
mill cost $4,000. This is total loss.
When reported visited the scene of
the wreck at II o'clock tonight he
found everything in the greatest con-
fusion. At that time about dozen
dead bodies had been taken out. Among
those who are dead are the following:
HENRY CROCHER, foreman of the silk
mill, and married, twenty three years old;
head crushed in neck and arm broken; from
New London, Conn.
JAURA KARSHMER.
EVA LEEDS.
LILLE CROW.
KATIE BOWMAN.
KATE LEAS.
AMELIA BHRISTMAN.
SOPHIE WINKLEMAN.
ELLA LONG.
WILLIE SNYDER.
WILLIAM robson.
REBECCA POUSE.
KATE REIDENAUER.
ROSE CLEMMER.
These are all the dead who have been
taken out. Clerk Autenbach stated at
midnight that he believed that fully
eighty bodies were in the ruins under
the three floors. His list of employees
is lost, and owing to the confusion in
taking out the injured he was unable to
furnish list of the killed. But eighty
is conservative estimate of those who

Considerable stir WAS created last night by
the finding Of a dead body al a negro man
six miles below the city, on the NoriOrk and
Western railroad. The name OF the negro
is William Lcitwich, and 10 ~ supposed he
was Killed by white man named Gilbert
Mann, an AppomstoX farmer. The ey-
dcnce before the coroner WIS to the effect
that Leftwich, who lived near the sX-mile
bridge, was told Wednesday evening bv
his children that white man had

down the road. Leitwich Immediately
started IN pursuit, ana when next seen was
living i'm the road with a bullet through his

eral opinion l. that Mann threw rocks at the
dog and not at the children. Msnn is & man
OF slender physique, low statue, and quiet

coming w05sted in the scufhe drew pistol
and shot him. A warrant was sworn out
for Hann's arrest. but at last accounts he
had not been apprehend6d.
