The Proposition tn Eeect n Monument
To Lowell i'm Westminster Abbey Well
Received in England.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-At Cleckheaton,
in West Riding, Yorkshire, a mas
Give chimney, 60 yards high, at
Marshmills machinery and fan
mel factory, collapsed and fell on the
roof OF the factory just as a number of
young women operatives were leaving
work.
The wing OF the factory on which the
chimney fell was crushed into a heap OF
debris. The piteous cries of those caught
in the ruins could be heard, and the hor-
ror OF the scene was soon augmented by
the breaking out of fire.
Numbers of the imprisoned victims
were more or less burned. A force OF
workmen and the fire brigade speedily
got TO work to move the debris.
The number already extricated includes
II killed and many injured by having
limbs crushed. Twelve persons are still
missing, and are not likely to be extri-
Gated for several hours.
"Steeple Jacks" who have been occu-
pied for week past in repairing the
chimney which fell, found It was col
lapsing and made their escape.
The manager states that an expert ex-
amined the foundations Of the chimney
and declared them to be in a safe condi-
ton. 1t is reported the cause of the dis
aster was the removal of number of de-
fective bricks for the purpose of making
repairs.
The affair has caused great sorrow
throughout the community. Public CEN
sure is directed against the owners OF the
factory for permitting the large number
OF employees to continue at work, know
ing the dangerous condition of the Chin
uey.
