Heading, Pa., Dec. 8. One of the
most appalling fires that has ever
visited this city occurred yesterday
when the extensive hosiery mill of
Nolde Horst company took fire from
exploding gasoline, destroying the
plant, causing the death of one per
son and Injuring 57 other employes of
the company. The dead woman Is
Miss Louisa Clay, aged 48 years. All
of the Injured are women and girls.
Eight have broken legs and several
others received severe Internal In
juries. It is feared that some of tbe
injured will die.
The hosiery building was a large
four story structure, and nearly 600
persons were employed In it, most of
them being women and girls. Tho lire
was discovered about 11 o clock, and In
few moments tho girls were panic
stricken. They made a dash for the
Are escape and the stairs, but found
that the latter means of escape could
not carry all of them down at the same
time. Several hundred of the girls
then made a rush for the windows, and
appealed to those in the street to save
them. Ladders were brought Into use,
and many girls wore taken from the
burning building safely. Most of them,
however. Jumped and were seriously
injured.
There Is much criticism among the
employes because of the fact that the
screens In the windows, except those
at the fire escapes, were securely nail
ed to the window sills. Tho girls had
to break the screens before they could
get out to leap to the ground. Some
of the employes say that the doors
were locked, as n rule, after tho em
ployes were in tho building.
The loss Is $275,000.
