GIRLS STRICKEN AT WORK.
Unable to Endure the Great Heat OF
Wednesday,.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j.. June s.
There was a panic in the cigar factory
of Hirschorn. Mack &c Co., in Nelson
street, yesterday afternoon. One after
another, young women employed In the
stripping room dropped to the floor from
the intense heat, and the excitement
grew until those who had not been
Frustrated became crazed with fright and
ran from the building.
Half an hour after the o'clock whistle
blew a girl dropped off bench. She was
working, with fifty others, In a loft di-
rectly under a tin roof, on which the sun
had been blazing fiercely for hours. The
girl alongside her on the bench stopped
to raise her PROSTATE companion, and
she. too. toppled over on the hot floor.
unconscious. Two more girls fell on the
other side Of the room, and the rest be-
gan to get hysterical.
Amid the laughing and sobbing OF the
half-crazed crowd, young women began
to drop all over the room. The few who
retained their presence of ming tried to
help the others, but some of the would
be rescuers succumbed to the heat, and
this added to the panic.
Ella Lanterwig, who had been trying
to help others, suddenly went into vio-
gled on the floor. Her screams spread
the panic to all the other rooms in the
building. There was a wild bolt for the
doors, and this only added to the con-
fusion, and the consequent hysteria.
Nineteen girls were Frustrated in less
than half an hour, and the firm tele-
phoned for carriages and physicians at
such short intervals that the police be-
lieved that a terrible disaster had oc-
CURED at the factory.
Some of the girls recovered soon after
being taken into the air, and laid In the
shade. They were ones who had tainted
from fright Many, however, were put
under medical treatment and Were Ill
all night. one of three men, who tried
to hold Miss Lanterwig. was so overcome
by his exertions that he tainted and
was unconscious for several minutes
The factory was closed down for two
hours, and when work was started again
the force was reduced to one-thrd.
