alarm for trivial fire quarter of mile away and the companies were delayed. When they had reached the blaze there was no opportunity to rescue any of the victims with lad ders. All who were able had iump- ed. Several had been licked up by the flames as they were descending the fire escapes and others had sunk back iato the building or had been overcome by the dense smoke
 Estelle Burner. one of the girls working in the rear end of the fourth floor, tells vivid story of the fire as she saw it.
 'The first thing I heard was the alarm of fire. We did not pay so much attention to it at first, but when we heard shouts on the lower floors We ran for the door leading down the stairs We all damned in- to the stairs and started down. At first l thought that I would go back and get my handbag, but changed my mind and bolted Some did go back, however, and don't know whether they got out or not l got as far as the first floor when l tainted. The next think knew some man was carrying me into the street He had terribly burned my arms in bring ing me out. He worked there, but don't know his name. They took me to a store on Court street and when l came to, came back to the fire. The fire companies were begin ming to come. As Il looked l saw at least twelve girls leap from the win dows on the fourth floor to the ground beneath. As the flames would flare back and forth about the outside of the walls 1 could see forms of women and girls hanging on to the fire escapes. l know some of those must have jumped but soon after the walls fell in and the others were buried in the awful furnace
 Tonight eight of the injured were at the city hospital. Nine were taken there up to a late hour, but one died soon after arrival. To the Dibble morgue were brought the remains of the dead recovered from the ruins In all but three instances were frag- ments of human anatomy remain, but those -in charge of the morgue esti- mate but thirteen bodies total the list.
 Two of the injured were removed to the Terraces Hospital during the fire, but one died en route and the other died while being carried to the operating room.
 Rigid investigation of the fire will be made by Coroner Seymour a1d District Attorney F. J. Meagner.
 Less than one-fifth of the persons ir the building escaped death or ser ious injury. The two hospitals o1 this city and many homes and pri- vate institutions house the fifty in- jured.
 Around the scene of the catastrophe thousands are tonight watching the fireman and police as they are work ing their, way through the hot ruins guided by three great searchlights hunting the bodies of the dead Many in that great throng are relatives and friends of the missing and only the closely drawn police lines restrain them from rushing into the ruins.
 A dozen streams of water are pour ing into the fiery pit that few hours ago was the cellar of the factory Bremen concentrate the streams on

Binghamton, N. Y., July 22.-52 and possibly eighty lives were lost and fifty-two persons were injured, a dozen prabably fatally in fire which broke out at 2:3O p. m. in the four story brick factory building of the Binghamton Overall Company.
 Most of the dead are women who were employed on the fourth floor of the building. Many were killed by Humping from the windows, Others were caught in the jam on the mar row stairway, following the panic stricken rush for safety when those on the fourth floor realized they were trapped.
 Three times within a few weeks the employees had been called from their machines by false alarms by fire drill signals and had marched to the street. Today, when the real alarm came, thinking it to be merely another drill call, the fourth floor workers leisurely left their places and started for the exits. When they were met by rising smoke and saw the flash of the flames which had started from some unknown cause under the front stairway, the orderly march for the exits was turned into D mad rush for the stairway. Many realizing that this was hopeless rush led to the windows and jumped to the street below.
 The exact number of casualties may not be known until tomorrow because of the confusion following the fire. Hospitals are filled with Fnlured, but many of the less ser |ously injured have hurried away to fhelr homes. According to the of- flcials of the overall company there were 134 persons at work in the building when the fire started. Twen- fy-two dead bodies have been recover ed. Because of the rapid spread of me flames it is feared that the death roll: will reach at least 52. Twenty live minutes after the discovery of |he blaze beneath the front stairway he floor. and walls collapsed.
 The fire communicated to the Post office building. ..aad,. the buildings of he Automatic Music Company. and me Mitchell-Church Company, all of Fhich were destroyed. The total fi- anclal loss is estimated at $500, 0,0O0
