with the account given by the person represen

withstanding, all this, doubt as to her honesty
remained in Lieutenant chapman's mind, and
there being almost a calm, he decided on steam
ing back to Jackin, to learn some particulars
of her having been off that place, which is a
noted slave station. Having ascertained curly
next morning that a vessel had shipped slaves
there the previous afternoon, he preceded again
in chase of the brigantine, and came up with
her at 10 A. M. Sept. 26. Lieut. Chapman
boarded in per Son, and not being satisfied with
the answers given by the person supposed to
be the master of the vessel, who said that he
had no paper's, directed the hatches to be open

of stifling hundreds of wretched human beings,
who were bundled together in heaps, naked;
regardless of sex or age. At the sant4ttime two
or three of the crew. leaped out of the hold, nak

lashed into keeping silence, looking in every
respect perfect demons, The flag that she Un

down by one of her own orew, and the British

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT LAWRENCE,
• MASSACHUSETTS.
162 Persons Killed and ilitrned to
Death.
TERRIBLE SCENES
FULL VARTICULARS OF THE HREAD-
FUL AFFAIR
On the afternoon of Tuesday of last week
one of the most heart-rendering' accidents oc
curred at Lawrence Massachusetts, that has
been chronicled for many years. They qmberton
Mills, a large manufacturing establisliment, in
which were employed some nine hundred oper
attires, suddenly fell to the ground with a' ter
rible crash. It is supposed that more than six
hundred persons were in the building at the
time of the accident, which occurred about five
clock in the evening. In reselling , the un-
fortunate sufferers, who were beneath the ruins,
a lantern, whose use became necessary in crin
segue*: of the darkness of the night, was 'ac
cidentally dropped, and the ruins were soon a
sheet of flames. One of the unfortunate sufforers
in order to prevent death by burning, actually
cut his own throat, was then rescued by the
flame's, but died from injuries infflicted from hie
own hands. It has been ascertained that one
hundred and sixty-two persons have been either
killed by the falling rubbish or burnt to death
by the flames. A great many others have been
terribly wounded. Active measures of relief
have been taken by the citizens of our Legor
cities and already thousands of dollars have
been• subscribed. A Coroner's Inquest is be-
ing held in-order to ascertain the cause of the
accident. Some suppose, that the accident was
owing to a defective foundation and other at
tribute it to the weakneSs of the building.—
We clip the following account of the disaster
from the Boston Herald of January 1101.
The dreadful calamity which yesterday af
ternoon cast a gloom over the city of Lawrence
has'already been detailed with much fullness,
hut the following fuller account, gathered last
night by our own reporters on the spot, will
be read with intense Interest.
The mill, which was a long brick building
300 feet long by eighty-four feet wide, was ves
terday in full operation, when, at a very few
minutes after five o'clock in the afternoon, it
fell with a
. sudden crash , and ,without hardly a
moment's warning, to the ground, burying in
its ruins the vast masses of machinery used at
the mill, and with the mass of solid iron, and
iningled with the beams and brick of thi.
live, lay in mangled and gory layers the forms
of over tbur hundred human beings.
As soon as those in the neighborhood could
recover from the horrified astonishment into
which they were thnurn by the disaster. the
fire alarm was at once sounded, and the depart-
anent were soon on the spot. Their services
were not, however. reqUired to extinguish any
flume, for at this time no fire had broken out.
Without flue horror of lire, however, the
scene was frightful beyond - description. The
ruins lay in one confused heap.'(.overing an
nr6a of about two acres, and piled up to a
height of about thirty feet.
From nearly ON (!ry IGde nod cr ev i ce i n this
vast Ole, from the top, from flue sides, and in
fact, from every fissure from whenea a vales
from inside could make its way, mine shrieks
f.a. help, ,groans of anguish, prayers and moan
ing::: and in many, Very many eases. the poor
sufferers could be distinctly seen, talked to,
and even reached by the band from the out
side. 'Many thus imprisoned were encouraged
and sustained by assurances of safely, and in
many easel; cups of coffee could be. and were
‘assed down to those below, who, alas ! after
all this pear approaeli to safety. saw horn• after
how• pass away, until, at last, the frightful cry
of fire, and the greedy licking of the flames us
they approached with fisarful rapidity. crack
ling awl hissing all over the remains on the
g sotold, told them too plainly that all hope of
life was gone. 'fhe full of the building took
place just as Pie mill was hoeing lighted up,
and (outside, of course. all was dark.
To obviate this difficulty huge iirem were
mule to the leeward of the ruins, and the light
bus made 'lighted up the horrible scene with
iuesla•es.sible grandeur.
I=
At this thne—six o'elock—fifteen hundred
nersons gathered about the spot, and liy the
light of the tires the more daring were tin top.
entmling under• the ruins, fixing ropei, a n d
noing all in their Is'iwee to extricate those with
in. At the outset. their ell'orts were quite sue
cessful. Aleut seventy-live Bensons, men, wo
men, and children. MOM? lir less worn were
taken out, and, if rrrn g uised, carries home,
and if not. taken to the City Hall. which had
been c o nverted into a temporary hospital.—
After Ihe first hour, htiwever, the work bevinnes
'much more dangerous, by' reason of the fall of
ti m b ers as displacements rune made, and often
the rescued and the rescuer are again in dan
ger of a fresh entonibment, We do not learn
however, that. any serious accident has befallen
any of those who rendered assistance from out
side : but still, the danger of the attempt de
terred many front rendering any help, except
Iry standing ttt it distance and screaming them
selves hoarse in giving advice or direction to
the more slaring spirits who were hot at work
womAN'S HEROISM. •
At one point when a rope had been fixed to
a projecting timber, a call was made to the
erOWd to take hold and pull with a will, but
ror a few minutes, such was the tlanger of the
attempt—iin• the beam in falliug might engulph
all near it—for a few minutes. we say, the call
was unheeded. Men shuddered and drew
bark—they would risk much to aid those be-
, .
low, but life wits sweet, and the danger great.
At this 'critical juncture, a woman rushed 15•l)111
among the crowd, and daring the speehtors to
follow, seized
. the rope and attempted to mount
the pile of smouldering ruins to ehiar away
with her hands. The example was enough ;
not a word was said, but strong hands at once
li•ew her back, ted then there was no lack
hands to the rope, the beam was drawn out.
and, at least, two sufferers released from the
opening thus made.
Besides those thus saved, a large number of
operatives, mostly males, who were in the
weaving room, which is in the lower story,
managed to escape by crawling up from that
room through a couple of' low windows Which
were not obstructed. The weaving room was
partially saved py a heavy stone floor of the
story above, and many in this department were
thus saved.
ROW THEY WERE BROEGIIT 017T—IIORRID
The sights and scenes at this period of the
disaster were frightful. One poor girl, alive
and fully conscious, was dragged front the east
fond of the fallen mass, with her left arm torn
from the socket, and her body and legs awful
ly mangled. . She was taken by liar friend...'
but could not have survived long. In one pia •
I the banes of three girls were flaunt locked ii
I each other's arms, but quite dead. could
not be removed Withollt Mingling the bodies,
and, being abandoned for a time, the flames
broke out Itefbre another attempt was made,
and .all three perished.
One Irishman was taken out quite unhurt,
and his first act was to feel in his pocket, from
whence be drew broth a sooty •• dudlideen,"
and seizing a brand from the lire, he lit ,his
pipe, and went on his way.
Next from the ruins we saw the dead body
of a hid, mid ninowin g him was borne a girl
with one of her ankles burnt to a crisp. She
had Icon confined by Hifie rout between two
heats, milt only by the utmost exertion was
she recovered. tilt, also taken hom e by
her friends:
A: young girl was released just before the
Mlaitmes burst forth. and in answer to a question
stated that she was unhurt. It afterwards ap
peared that her right arm was badly . broken
near time wrist, but in the excitemeat of the
moment and in the joy of deliverance from a
dreadlardemith, she had not noticed the port.
(Ina Irian:in w:18 found with li'er head junllll
- Iwtween two heavy 111,1111iN, and presaed an
that it was not thicker than the thickness of a
band. It was a sickening sight. • .
One young gitl,.whose name wo haye hut do
not publish, was confined in a narrow hole sur
rounded by broken machinery and ragged tim
'lßV and boards, succeeded in crushing out in
to the open air, but when elle emerged from
the ruins she had scarcely an article of cloth
ing on her person.
Perhaps one of the saddest episodes of the
whole calamity wan the fate of Mr. Maurice
Pathm; . r, who was an overseer in the mill. In
the hill, he was so imbedded is the ruins that
he could not be extricated before the fire, and
seeing the dreadful element approaching him,
lui, in hii n agony and despair, determined not
to be road to death, and so drew his pocket,
knife and cut his throat. He was, however,
taken out alive, and would have survived but
fir the self-inflicted injury. Who, however
can judge the anguish and agony which induc
ed the fearful deed?
Our reporter is told by a gentleman who was
early on the spot, that, at one point of, the
ruins, he distinguished a female voice crying
in distress, and soon another voice answered;
"Is that you, Lizzie ? are you hurt?" The re
ply was a smothered grioan, and an appeal to
God's mercy in her behalf. Both these girls
were afterwards rescued.
S!'ENES AT TILE (ITV HALL-THE DEAD AND
WOrNDED-AGONIZING SPECTACLE.
Immediately after the dreadful occurrence,
the City Hall was thrown open, by order of
the Mayor, as a hospital for the wounded, and
a receptacle for the dead.
At 7 o'clock this morning the stairways were
thronged by a multitude of people, every One
apparently in an agonizing state of suspense
to ascertain whether a father, husband, wife,
or child, had been immolated in the awful fu
neral pyre.
It was a struggle for our reporter to obtain
an entrance to the main hall, but by the aid of
the city officials lie finally succeeded; and the
sight was fearful. Stretched on mattresses
around the hall were men, women, and chil
dren, all more or less injured—some dreadful
ly mangled.
On the right of the entrance, in a small an
teroom, were stretched the corpses of thirty
six persons of both sexes, old and young. The
bodies were so close together that it was 'diffi
cult to pass between without treading upon a
mangled limb. Feet were crushed—shoulders,
arms, legs, bodies, all terribly gashed and
mashed- I —faces so disfigured that it would be
difficult for the most intimate friends to re
cognise the bodies by the countenances. In
the midst of the ghastly throng wan to be seen
a minister of God carefully scanning each
countenance, and we 'could see a tear drop
from his eyes upon more than one of the ghastly
dead. Our reporter attempted the duty of as
certaining the names kif the poor victims from
the little labels pinned on their garments.
lie lkol proceeded as far as writing the names
of Mal 7 v McDonald, Beard Holland, Michael
O'Britlit, Margaret. Fallon, Catharine Kallah
yr, Bridget Ryan, Margaret Foley, and John
Dearborn, when a frantic mother rushed past
the door, and renignising the dead and man
gled body of a child in the midst of the mass,
clasped it, called it by endearing names, and
wriptHas mothers weep at such dreadful mo
ments. Om. reporter attempted to pursue. Ills
sense of duty would have overcome his sense
of commiseration, had not a crowd at the same
juneture entered and utterly precluded the
possibility of his pursuing his task at that time.
fhe ()divers in attendance were kind and in
dulgent to all who sought for their dead ; and
a number of bodies, the names of whom were
unknown even to the coroner, were conveyed
to the residences of their friends. Coroner
Lamb had nut completed the list of the dead
already recovered at the time we close portion
of our report.

" A TRUTH.""
TT is nothing to gain popularity, but it is rarely
I that men retain it. Like money, come easy, go
easy, popularity is a tender affair, and requires care
ful nursing to keep it alive.
Especially is this observable in mercantile affairs.
If the reputation, which is but another name for
popularity, be won by actual merit, it is lasting.
C. 11. Sehermerliorn, the well known
Grocer, Fish and Prevision Dealer,
has by his straight-forward course, the fairness of his
prices and the excellence of his stock scoured a rep
utation which will be lasting.
Having taken tho business hiniseff nt the corner
of Ninth and Hamilton Streets—he can defy corn:
petition and afford to sell at prices to suit everybody.
Give him a call and be satisfied with the Truth of
his assertions.

CLOTHING• HOUSE
Mg I CO N XX AL 1- a 1— .
NELIGH BREINIG, feeling it an imperative
duty to accommodato the public, found it
necessary to procure a more commodious place of bu
siness, and accordinly erected a
PALATIAL CLOTHING HOUSE,
on'the corner of Church Alley and Hamilton street,
opposite Moser's Drug Store, of which they have
just thken posseession, being the largest, most com
modious, and beet arranged building for the business
in Allentown. •
The proprietors of this Now and Magnificent Cloth
ing Establishmont, take pleasurclin further announc
ing that they have also increased their tremendous
IVintor Stock of
. .
READY MADE CLOTHING,
and are daily adding thereto all kinds of articles ap
pertaining to Mon and Boy's wear which will be
sold at extraordinary low rates, to they go upon the
principle that a "nimble sixpence is better than a
slow shilling." They have no trash of years on their
shelves, which they try to palm oil for new sound,
goods, but on the contrary, aro superior in quality,
make and style, to any establishment in the place.—
Give them a trial and you will find tno PALATIAL
CLOTHING ROUSE is the place for everybody.—
Their winter purchases comprise entirely now and
desirable styles, such as can not be found at ony oth
er Merchant tailoring establishment in Allentown.—
Their goods wore selected with tho greatest care, and
will be made up in tho latest style and fashion, and
warranted to prove the same as represented at the
time of purchase. Observe, that every article of
Clothing sold by the proprietors of this establish
meht is of their own make; , and mWy be relied upon
as being good, durable work. Among their exten
sive assortment may ho found, fino Black and Blue
new style Dross and Frock Coats, made in the latest
fashion of French and English Cloths, new style
Business Coats, of Black, Blue, Olive and Green
Cloths, and plain and figured Cassimoros ; Over
Coats, of all qualities, styles and prices, pantaloons,
vests, and in fact everything in the READY MADE
CLOTHING LINE, from an overcoat down• to an
undershirt.
The four groat features of Ncligh k Broinig's Store
aro, that they buy for Cash, and consequently can
sell cheaper than any of the others; their goods aro
mado up under their own supervision, and they sell
them for what they really are, and last though not
least they sell their goods for Cash.
Having adopted the CASH system, they are not
compelled to provido against lenses by incrom“d
prises. Buyers who pay cash are not required to
make up the losses, of such as will not pay.
Also, large stock of Handkerchiefs, Shirts, Collars,
Winter Hoisorx, Under Shirts and Drawers of all
kinds, and everything in fact that is usually kept in
stores of the kind. Call and see before you purchase
elsewhere, as they willingly show what they have,—
They are satisfied that all their goods will boar a
close examination.
