Fatal FINE ~ READING.
One life Iosf-sixty Persons Injure".
Panic Among Girl Employees.

| RFADi.,u, PA. December lone OF
the most appalling fires that ever Vislteu
this city occurred to-day when the eN-
tensive hosiery -rnii OF the Node *
Horst Company took IRE. destroying the
plant. causing the death Of Miss LOUIS"
Clay. and injuring about sixty other en-
ployees OF the company.
The hosiery building was large, iour-
story structure. and nearly 90 persons
were employed IN 81. most Of them beihs
women and girls. The fire was discovered
about II O'Clock. and in few moments
the girls were panic-siricken. 1hey NIUE
dash for the fire-escspe and the stars
but found that the latter means Of escape
could not carry all Of them down al inc
same time. Several hundred Of the siIls
then made q rush for the windows ana
appealed to those I'm the streets 10 save
them. Ladders We're brought INTO use
and many girls were taken from the burn
ing building safely.
Most OF ihem. however. jumped ana
were seriously Injured. FOR few MN
utes from every window on The SECOND
and third floors girls leaped one after Inc
other. Some lodged IN the arms OF those
below. but many struck the ground. They
were picked up and rapidly removed 10
hospitals or their homes. Many Of the
girls who escaped by the stairways and
fire-escapes were badly burned, but none
of them, it IS believed were seriously in
iured. ~
The fire travelled with great rapldlty'
owing to the inflammabe nature or the
stock in the building. BY those who saw
the progress Of the fire II is considefeu
miraculous that there was such sulaI
loss Of life There IS much criticism
among the employees because Of the faet
that the screens I'm the windows except
those at the fre-escapes, were secureiy
nailed 10 the window-slls. The girls had
10 break the window-screens before they
could get ont 10 leap TO the ground
Some Of the employees say that the ooors
were locked, as q rule, after the en-
ployees were in The building.
The fire was caused by the explosion OF
gasoline in the singeing-room. II is esu-
mated that the loss will be about $Z5,oJo.
The insurance is $4,000.
