swept the 4-story factory building of
the Binghamton Clothing Company
here. The victims were chiefly wom-

At midnight twenty-six bodies had
been recovered. In the city hospital
and in private institutions are thirty
injured. Some two score persons are
known to have escaped as by a miracle
from the building, which burst into

About 125 persons were in the fac

unaccounted for, or most of them, are
believed to be still in the red hot
ruins of the structure.
The killing burst of flame followed
quickly upon the heels of the alarm.
There was small opportunity for any
one to use the ordinary or even the
emergency means of escape. Fire

so frequently in fact that the employees
had found them monotonous-

flame was hardly discerned before the

walls, up the elevator shaft, along the
floors and ceilings. There was roar,
front and rear, and the flames belched
forth clear across Wall street, on
which the building fronted, whitening

scorching the building across an alley
at the rear.
After this fierce blast, the fire
