LAWRENCE, Aug. 1.-Judging by the
 different degrees of ruin, Springfield
 street suffered the worst destruction
 On this street yesterday were rows of
 comfortable cottages wherein dwelt well. to do mill hands, mechanics and clerks
 with their families. Tonight the street
 is suffocated by heaps of crushed cot tages and overturned buildings. On this street, too, occurred the most heart rending scenes incident to the city's overpOwering disaster. Tonight, under a lowering sky and amid indiscriminate piles of broken roofs, furniture, bedding, crockery, plaster and the like are gath cred groups of weeping women and sor- rowful men mournfully relating to each other their experiences during the blight of wind and rain.
 ! Perhaps the saddest case among all | the unfortunates is that of James O'Con- nell, who lived with his family at No. | 27. His wife and fourteen-year-old daughter were killed outright by the | falling timbers of their own house. All day long and far into the night he has paced backward and forward in front of where his home was, the tears streaming f down his cheeks and his voice crying to | heaven to take him after his dead. A touching sight met the World re- porter's eye some hours after the visita- ton of the cloud burst. Perched upon table which stood upon pile of brok- en furniture and masonry was a little maid of perhaps four years. She stood | looking Tn every direction at the wreck. Then as the reporter and others ap- preached she said: "I want mammap' | The crushed buildings apparently had no effect upon her then. The memory of them may later, for her mothers body was a few minutes later taken from the rains. No one there knew the name of the woman and the little girl was lost | among the host of other homeless ones that are being cared for. Such scenes are common.
