Mutilated. ’
Boston, Jan. 10. —Tho PcmboTton Mills, at
Lawrence, Mass.; employing from four to five
hundred operatives, fell, this afternoon,, bury
ing nearly every person in the ruins.
The mangled bodies are being taken out by
tho cart load..
. ifiSliupyCowl tl'li’.L -MX. r LM VI liuuUlßvl' pS*
sous were instantly killed.
Tho mills are a complete wreck. -
It is impossible at present to give a correct
account of tho loss of life. ' .' . .
Eighteen dead bodies have already been ta
ken out; twenty-live mortally wounded, and
fifty in different Stages of mutilation.
The Agent of the Mills and the Measurer
escaped by ruhniug from the-falling building.
It is impossible yet to tell the cause, of tho
fall of tiie building. . , .
The scene beggars all description. Some
two or more acres of ground are piled up with
every.description of machinery and the fallen
ruins. Hugo bonfires are burning, to afford
to some two or three thousand persons,
w?io arc working ns if for their lives, to res
cue tho unfortunate, many of whom are bog
ging to be released from their tortures by
death.
Every few minutes some poor wretch is
dragged from his or her prison, uttering the
most heart-rending cries while being drawn
out with tho logs and arms crushed or torn to
pieces,
■ One man who was shockingly mangled and
still partially buried under the bricks, delib
erately out his own throat.
The whole city seems to be in a state of
mourning. Many of the friends of the vic
tims are running through the streets, and with
frantic cries are searching the ruins. "While
others stand looking at the ruins, frigid with
■despair.
While the ruins were being cleared away,
a portion of tho mills Which were still stand
ing fell with a terrible crash, threatening
death to all who wore still alive in the ruins.
Gangs of men, with ropes, are constantly
dragging the large pieces of the wreck which
imprisons so many of the poor victims. .
Some of the ’rescuers, were killed in their
attempts to relieve the sufferers.
Since we left the scene of disaster, reports
'arc constantly.coming in adding to the list of
the dead and-dying.
Tlie building, has never been considered
staunch. It was built seven years since, and
it was then considered a sham. , Indeed, be
fore the machinery was put in, the walls
spread to such a degree that twenty-two tons
of stays hud to.be put in to save it from fall
ing.
The building appeared to crumble and fall
first from the eastern corner. • It fell inwards,
as if powerfully drawn that way.' The .fire
men of the city .at once repaired to the spot,
and set at work to, remove the rubbish. They
soon reached some of tlie rooms, so that the
dead and wounded wore taken out as fast as
possible. • , 1 . •
Charles. Batchelder helped to. remove twen
ty-six of the victims, some of whom-•were liv
ing, while others.were dead or terribly muti
lated.
, The City Hall has been made a temporary
hospital for the reception of the dead and
wounded, where .they w.ill remain till recog
nized and taken care of by their friends..
One woman in the portion of the mill that
remained standing, in her fright, throw out
her bonnet and shawl and jumped from the
fifth story window, breaking.her arm and in
juring herself so badly that she ,cannot re
cover.
The laboring force of. the mill numbered
about 9GO, and about 700 were actually buried
in the mins.
A woman.who has just been, rescued says
there were some twenty-five more in’, the. vi
.ointiy of the place where shcwaa.buned, who
were still alive.
An Additional Horror—A Fire Broken out in
the ruins.
. About half-past nine o'clock at night a fire
was discovered in the ruins.
The additional' horror, although appre
hended, struck terror into the hearts of those
who were before hopeful of saving some lives.
Still the work of removal went briskly on.
Force, pumps and engines, have been pour
ing streams of water on the flames, so that at'
the present time, (half-past eleven, o'clock,)
-although the smoke is rising, the fire does not,
scorn to gain, and it is certainly to bo hoped
that it will bo stayed.
.Those near the place where the fire, com
menced Were at the point of extracting a wo

them back, is supposed to have per

TO DEATH.
Lawrence, Mass., Wednesday, January 11.
—The two hours I have spent in this mourning
city have been replete with heart-rending and
appalling scenes. The harrowing grief of the
bereaved, the agonies of tho maimed, the in
tolerable suspense of those who are seeking
lost friends, and ‘the horrid masses of charred
and crushed humanity still indistinguishable
as they were taken from the ruins of ; the mills,
tend to sicken tho heart and paralyse the hand
that attempts to give an adequate.dosoription.
Lappend such isolated facts as I have gath
ered.' ■
STATEMENTS OF SURVIVORS,
Mr.’N.-F, 11. Malvin, an alderman of this
city, was at work in tho repair-shop, which is
still Unharmed.'' The first intimation he had
.of the approaching calamity was the rattling
of particles against tho window, and the ap
pearance of a cloud, of dust and lime coming
in through tho broken panes. His first im
pression was, that tho boiler had burst, and
ho started for the door. When he got out he
could sdo nothing at first for tho cloud of
smoko, but-soon observed men, women, and
children, crawling gut from the ruins, cover
ed with blood. He saw two women issuing
from tho basement,, and ran down to them,
but one of them said,. “Do not help me; there
are others in, hero.'' Ho wont in under the
ruins, beneath tho projecting roof, about two
rods, on his hands and kpces, and found A
man wedged between two looms, and-a. largo
shaft lying on his back. Ho' saw ‘ that ho
could not bo got out without tools. Ho pro-,
cured a monkey-wrench, and, by-taking tho
loom apart, extricated the.man, who wont oh
his way rejoicing. Ho proceeded to tho next
loft, and saw one Perkins trying to got out,
but was unable to do so, being wedged be
tween two plonk frames laid across his hips.
Mr. Melvin could not find an axe nearer than
at his homo; but ran thither quickly, and on
returning. released the man by cutting the
plank. Ho continued working in the ruins,-
although suffering from an injured eye.
Mr. A. B:"Winno was in tho fifth story
when ho felt the shaking of tho building.—■
Ho expected to bo instantly killed, but went
down with,the falling maos to tho first floor,
and walked out of the ruins unharmed.
Mr. Burredge, of Engine Company No. 4,
took out a young girl from the ruins m a per
fectly nude state, yet, strange to say, with
hardly a scratch on her person.
ThO’Oity is ringing with praises of Miss Ol
ivo Bridges, who at the first alarm slid down
the elevator rope, and when she found she was
safe, nobly, assisted in helping her wounded
comrades in-suffering at the Cfty Hall.
Mr. (T. 11. Dana says: The first intimation
mofct of the' operatives had was the swaying
of tho walls of tho whole building. Then tho' fall
ing commenced- at ouo. end, .and .tho .whole mass
'gradually .settled.;,tho majority, of tho operatives
runbing towards tho safer end of tho-edifice. The
walls fell outward, hut tho-roof fell in tho shape of
n V, allowing an (almost unobstructed passage on
each side of tho inlli along (ho basement, through
which many.osonpod., This passage was-open two
■or three hours afterwards, and many persons walked
through it Tho work Of getting out tho bodies had
boon continued until tho basement was being clear
ed when the fire drove tho rescuers away.
Mr. Adams, tho overseer,, being in tho basement,
was overtaken by the falling fragments while at
tempting to escape, al)d was wedged between the
limber", a saw' was passed to. him through the
ruins,' and ho sawed until .tho uails prevented his
going any-further. Au' axe was then handed to
•hiin,°nnd he got himself out not very seriously in
jured, >■ - ,
A boy in tho factoryjwas in the nppor story when
tho. crash came. - Ho wont to tho bottom of tho ra
ins with tho falling mass and walked out unhurt.
A girl working in tho upper'room felt tho giving
way of the. walls, and hold to her loom. She was
also carried to tho basement, her clothes nearly all
tom off, and yet she escaped unhurt. The instances
of those miraculous escapes are nunicrous and al
most incredible. It seems wonderful that five or.
six hundred wore not buried alive. .
, Tho Mayor, Daniel Saunders, Jr., has caused the
city to bo canvassed thoroughly, and informs mo
that the list of killed, wounded; and missing will bo
complete to-morrow. -
Tho mills were.turning out about two hundred
thousand dollars’ worth of cotton goods per week,
and were insured for about $400,000. The Opinion
is, that no insurance will bo paid. There was no
extraordinary weight in the building, though the
machinery on the lower floor weighed six hundred
ions.
Sympathy comes -from every quarter. Physi
cians and nurses tender their services freely. Hous
es aro thrown open to the suifei’ers. Tho treasurer
of tho Pacific Mills has given .to the Mayor two
thousand dollars for the benefit of the victims.
The work of removing. tho ruins, for tho purpose
of searching for the missing sixty-five, -has been
suspended to-night, but will bo resumed by the
Pemberton company to-morrow with a gang of one
hundred men. Tho west side, for'two-thirds .tho
length and half tho width, has yelj to bo explored.
Coroner Lainb wiil "bold, tho inquest to-morrow

unrecognised bodies aro placed, is excruciating.!—
Tho shapeless, blackened corpses, whoso postures
dchotc tho unspeakable agony of their dying suf
ferings, are spread, on tho floor; and tho crowd of

their lost ones, hover about the corpses, vainly en
deavoring to recognize some scrap of familiar gar
ment; or.some physical peculiarity.-
Tho entire city is. shrouded -in'sadness, ■' Not the

privation of employment, to nearly a thousand em
ployees. "
Lawrp.nce, Jan. 11—P. M.
If wc could forget 'the occasion of our crowded
streets wc should at oneo conclude that some great
occasion for a holiday had arisen, but tho air of sad
ness ami almost despair so visibly depicted oh the
countenances of our citizens, and especially those
who have been personally, bereaved; keeps the dark
reality, constantly before our minds. Every train
from every direction -comes in laden to its utmost
capacity with living freight, and when wo ’consider
Unit not less than one hundred and fifty long pas
senger cars have run in hcroto-duy, some realizing
idea may be arrived'at in regard to tho.number of
our visitors! But-the,railroads did not alone.con
tribute to swell our numbers, for every kind of ve
hicle was brought into use. In many of the sur
rounding towns and cities not another horse was to
bo hired. The morning and afternoon were busily
used in removing tho rubbish, after being sufficient
ly cooled, In order/ if possible, ■to get tho bodies
known to bo still under tho ruins. Quite a number
were got .out, and, strange us it may appear, two
persons vroro taken out alive. . . .
Eurly in the morning a squad of canvassers was
organized, and tho whole* city’laid_out.into small
districts,,and a> pretty thorough canvassentered in
to, men going from house to house, thereby ascer
taining in every family where persons wore either
wounded, missing, or safe. The summing up-allows
that one hundred and sixty-two persons are missing.
This embraces all those l«io'wn;to havo’bccn killed,
and those of which no tidings have been obtained.—
It is admitted by those who have, gone into tho in r
vostigntiou, that fifty-two persons are yet immola
ted in the brick and mortar. One - hundred and
thirty dead bodies have' been' removed to tho City.
Hull, or been delivered to recognizing friends;
Previous, to the five, two sisters were together, and
comparatively unhurt." , They would - have been res
cued. Hearing the roar of the flumes, they exclaim
ed, “ Oh, God ! we have - got to die!”
Another woman shrieked out piteously that the
firo was burning her hair,-but tho. Haines goon after
silenced her cries. • • .
It lias already been stated that one man cut .his
throat lest he should bo burned alive. • Mr. Branch
told his friends, who .were .digging for him; that ho
should resort to the same moans to escape the tor
tures of tho fire.. Ho was persuaded to desist, and
fortunately was rcscuc’d.
The awful death which some died by tho firo was
fearfully attested by their baked and.blackened
forms when token out, not in anything liko those of
human beings. • . •
[From the Boston Herald, Jan. 11,]
The dreadful calamity which yesterday afternoon
cast a gloom over tho city of Lawrence has already
been detailed - with much fullness, but the following
fuller account, gathered last night by onr own re
porters on tho spot, will bo read with intense in
terest.
The mill, which Was a lons brick building 300
feet long by eighty-four feet wide, was yesterday In
full operation, when, at a very few minutes after
five o'clock in tho afternoon,, it fell with a sudden
crash, and without hardly.a moment’s warning, to
tho ground, burying in its-ruins the vast masses of
machinery used at tho mill, and with the, of
solid iron, and mingled with the’ beams and brick
of tho edifice, lay in mangled' and gory layers tho
forms of over four hundred human beings. . .
.A 8 soon as those in' the neighborhood could re
cover from the horrified astonishment into which
they were thrown by tho disaster, the fire alarm was
at once sounded, and tho' department were soon on
tho spot. . Their, services were not, however, re
quired to extinguish any flame, for at this time no
fire had broken out...
Without the horror of fire, however, the scene was
frightful beyond description, Tno ruins lay in one
confused heap, covering an area of about two acres,
.and piled up to a hoight.of about thirty feet. ■
From nearly every hole and crevice' in this vast
pile, from tho top, from tho sides, and in fact from
every fissure from whence a voice from inside could
make its way, came shrieks for help, groans of an-,
guish,; prayers and meanings; and in many very
many oases, tho poor sufferers could bo distinctly
seen, talked to, and even reached by tho hand from
the outside. Many thus imprisoned were .encour
aged and sustained by assurances of safety, and in
many cases cups of coffee could be, and wero.passed
down to those below, who, alas 1 after all this near,
approach to safety, saw hour after hour pass away,
until, n,t laid, the frightful cry of fire, and tho greedy
licking of tho flames as they approached with fear
ful rapidity,- crackling and hissing all over the re
mains on the ground, told them 100 plainly that all
hope of life.was gone. . The fall of the building took
place just ns'the mill was being lighted up; and out
side, of course, all was dark; .
To obviate this difficulty huge,fires were made to
tho leeward of the ruins, and tho light thus' made
lighted .up the'horrible scene with inexpressible
grandoilr. '
THE ATTESirT AT RESCUE.
At this time—six o’clock—fifteen bund red per
aonagathered about the spot, and .by tho light ,of
tho fires the more.daring were on top, crawling un
der the ruins, fixing ropes, and doing all in their.
.power -to extricate those within. At tho outset their
efforts wore quite successful. About seventy-five
persons, men, women, and children, more or less
wounded,, were taken out, and, if recognized, carried
homo; and if notv taken to tho City Hall, which had
bebu converted into a temporary hospital. After
the first hour, however, tho work becomes much
more dangerous, by reason of tho fall of ns
displacements are made, and often tho
tho rescuer aro again in danger of a fresh ontomb,-
monk: -Wo do not learn however, that any serious
accident has befallen any of those who rendered as
sistance from’ outside; but still the danger of tho
attempt deterred many from rendering any help ex
cept by standing at a distance and screaming them
selves hoarse in giving advice or direction to the
moro daring spirits who wore hot at work.
woman's IIEifOISM.
At ono point when a ropo. bpd boon, fixed to a
projecting timber, a call was made to the crowd to
take bold and pull with a will, but for a few min
utes, snob was the danger of the attempt—for tho
beam in falling might engulpb all near it—for a
few minutes, wo say, tho call was unheeded. Mon
shuddered and drew back—they would risk much'
•to aid those below, but life was sweet, and the dan
ger groat. At this critical juncture, a woman rush
ed from among tho crowd, and daring the spectators
to follow, seized the ropo and attempted to'mount
tho pile of smouldering ruins to clear away with her
hands. The example was chough; not a word was
said, but strong hands at once drew her hack, and
then there was no laok of bands to the ropo, the
beam was drawn out, and, at least, two sufferers re
leased from tho opening thus made.
. Besides those thus saved, a large number of ope
ratives, mostly males, who wore in tho weaving
room, whiob is in the lower story, managed to'es
cape by crawling up from that room through a cou-
pie of low windows which were not obstructed.—
Tho weaving room'was partially saved by a heavy
stone floor of tho story above, and many in this de
partment wore thus savad. .

Tho sights and scenes at this period,of the dis
aster wore frightful. One poor girl, allVo and fully
conscious, was dragged from the oust end of the fall
en mass, with her left arm torn from the socket, and
her body and legs awfully mangled, 'fibo was ta
ken by her. friends/ but could riot hate survived
long. In one place the bodies of three girW were
found locked in each other’s arms, but.Vi'uite dead.
They could not he removed without-mangling tho
bodies, abandoned for a.time; the flames
: ufotr«roiTrumb‘rc uuutuci'^ucmpl~Wua J u«dc / = uiid~ttli'
three perished.
One Irishman was taken, out quite unhurt, and
his first act was to feel in his pocket, from whence
he drew forth a sooty "dwdhdeon,” and seizing a
brand from, the fire, he lit his pipe, and went on his
way. " ; >
Next from the ruins wo saw tho dead body nf a
lad, and following him was borne a girl with one of
tier ankles burnt to a crisp. . She bad been confined
by one foot between two beams,-and' only by the
utmost exertion was she recovered. She was also
taken homo by her friends, r '■
A young girl was released, just'beforo the flames
burst forth, and in answer to a question stated .that
she was unhurt. If afterwards appeared that her
right arm was badly broken near the wrist, but in
the excitement of the moment and in the joy of de
liverance from a ,dreadful death, she had not notic
ed thohurt.
.One woman was found with her head jammed be
tween two heavy beams, and pressed so that it was
not thicker than the thickness of a hand. It wus a
sickening sight. 7 -
One young girl, whoso name wo.have but do not
publish, was confined in a narrow hole surrounded
by broken machinery and ragged timber and boards,
succeeded in crushing out into.the open. air,.but
when she emerged from-’ tho ruins she' had scarcely
an article of clothing on her person. .
Perhaps one of the saddest episodes of the whole
calamity was the fate of Mr. Maurice Palmer, who
was an overseer in the mill. In. the' fall, bo was so
imbedded in tbo.ruins that ho could'not be extrica
ted before the fire, and seeing tbc-drcadful element
approaching him, he, in his agorjy and despair, de
termined not to be roasted to death,'and so drew his
pocket-knife and cut his-throat.; He was, however,
taken out alive, and would havp. survived but for
the self-inflicted injury. Who, however, can judge
tho anguish and agony which .induced the fearful
deed? '
Our reporter is told by a' gentleman who wafl
early on the spot, that, at one point of the ruins, ho
distinguished a female voice crying in distress, and
soon another voice answered, u la tbat you, Lizzie ?
aro you hurt ?” The reply was a smothered groan,
and an appeal.to God’s mercy itther behalf.- Both
these girls were afterwards ■rescued* '
Lawrence, Mass., Jan. 14.—The remains of Mary
Barrett, aged 20, and Catharine Sweeney, agcd’22,
were discovered in the ruins to-day. Both bodies
were nearly consumed by fire. Four additional bo
dies were also found, but they cannot be rccog-
uizcd. . .
There are now parts •of five Jodies at the City
Hull, two of which arc utterly unrecognizable. The
other three can only bo rc'cognized ; by tho shreds of
their clothing.. One of tho latter is the whole trunk
of ft woman’s , body. / ‘ -
On tho night -of tho accident the daughter of
James’ Hannon,, ten years old,. was penned fast in
tho ruins when the •.dames broke out. Seeing -there
'was no escape for her, she took her due bill from
her pocket and landed it to another girl'who was
near her, ftnd said: - ,
“ You will bo saved ; I. will not. Give this to my
poor, dear father, and bid him good-bye for me.”

' The coroner’s inquest was resumed this morning.
• CharlesS. Stcrrows,-agent of tlio Essex Compa

er ; tho witness never, heard any-lutimation that tho
building was unsafe; the iron pillars were,furnish

minute elapsed; I' perceived,’,when Tfirst- looked
iqvfhat something was cracking, in'tho centre be

'beneath; my idea was that something was falling
through,tho coiling, and I tried to get away from
it; there wore.two girls leaving their looms direct
ly under mo; they sat down, and were saved by tho
ironwork'; I have since seen them; I, ran to the
easterly side of tho door; it was ten feet from me;'
all this was as quick as : thought; Mr. Adams was
covered iurflio ruins about four feet' from me; tho
instant I saw the breach in I the’ ceiling.l sprang;
tho whole coiling fell juft as I got my hand on tho

not far from tho south end, that tho breaking came
through the ceiling; I was not stunned or hurt; I
found myself prostrate on-my fae.e; I could not

no earthly power .can raise—shrouding it with a
cloud of anguish which no human hand can dispel
—binding it in the chains of woo which despair
cannot break—l recommend and earnestly beseech

abstain from their avocations and labors; that they
set apart that day, as one of prayer '; that thoy then
moot in their respective places of worship to join in
those religious ceremonies which the occasion de
mands, and thcro publicly ask of . God that 110
would temper our - afflictions with mercy; that ho
would restore .to health dud strehgtlrthose now lan
guishing in pain and Buffering; that He would pro
vide with a. fathers care for.the orphan and the
widow; that He would comfort and support those'
bereft of husband and wife, parents and children ;
that lie would so order this signal'destruction of
property and life as that good-may como out of our
great evil, and that 1 our experience may teach wis
dom throughout the lapd* , .

able and benevolent disposition had endeared
her for years ’to all with whom she was ac
quainted. She boro her affliction, (which was
severe,) with the most remarkable degree of ;
Christian fortitude, frequently expressing a
desire to wing’ her flight to the world of
spirits, where she might .be free from pain and
suffering.
Her entreaties and. exhortation before dis-
solution, to ttfoee at her bedside, were heart
rending indeed, and calculated to impress upon
the mind the necessity of pure ami undeuled
religion as the only source of comfort in this
life, and endlciss joy in eternity.
Her remains were followed to the grave on
Saturday by a large. concourse of kind and
devoted friends and neighbors, who had been
constant in their efforts to relieve her suffer
ing. May all follow her example.
Bear, will you ever weep,
When I have passed away,
When cold, cold, in death I sleep, ‘
Through many, many a weary day ?
Dear, will you place a wreath;-
Upon my lonely mound, --
At cvenlng’s.boly hour, dour,
When shadows hover round?
Friends, will you often come,
To view my lowly, bod \
.Will you plant a flower there,
To blossom o’er my head ?
Will you kpocl beside my grave, dear,
And say-here rests my ail,
And let one pearly tear, dour,
Upon my bosom fall ?

A few of many reasons why the Sewing Machines
of Ladd, Webster A Co., are preferred above all
others.
1. They arc so remarkably simple in-their coar
structlon. A child can operate.them and..under

2. They are the strongest Sewing Machines made»
It is impossible to .break or get them out of order*
3. They are sure in their’operation j finishing tins
work in a uniformly perfect manner.'
4. They make, a tight lock sliteh, alike, on both
sides of the .work, which cannot be unraveled..
6. They stitch, hem, bind, fell, fun and gather,
without busting. .
0.-They sew equally well tho lightest and tho
heaviest fabrics. : , •'
7. They sew over the heaviest seams, without
changing the tension or breakingdho finest threadr
8. They use any N0..0f Cotton, Thread or Silk
directly froin tho spool. ,
9. They use a straight needle; curved ones are
liable to break.
. 10. Tho needle has. a perpendicular motioq. This
is absolutely necessary for heavy work, i ‘
11. They have u wheel feed j none others are .in
constant contact with the work.
‘l2. - They run easily and are almost'noiseless..-
13. not liable to oil the dress of the
operator.
11. They do not rcqulro a screw-driver Id sot the
needle.
15. They do not have to ho taken apart to oil or
clean.
16. They do not form ridges-oh the under side of
tho work, nor ravel out, nor arc they wasteful of
thread, as is the case with all chain stitch viachinca. ■
17. They are capable ofdoing a greater range of
work, and in a more perfect manner than any othef
