The Granite Mill Holocaust. Scenes and Incidents of the Dis- aster. Fall Rdver, Masa, (Sept, 20) Despatch to the Boston Lost, Yesterday morning the hundreds of oporatives, o8 usnal, assombled in the varlous departments at tho Granito Cotton Mill No. 1,which is located on Twolfth and Bedford streots, and the thoupht that the wock's toil would soon eloso cheered the old and middle-nged, white smiles of anticipated ploasuro gladdened tha faces of the young. Che factory voll at last gave ihe signal to begin~ the dny's work, tho groat engincs woro set in mwotion, and soon after the Lum of tho thousards of spinales sod othor machinory in the eslablishment proclaimed that the operations of the day had bogun. A fow minutes aftervards the scono of happiness and industry was cinnged to thut of torror and de- pair, Above the din of tho machinory arouo tho alurming ery of fire, aud thoso on tho lower stories ‘f-un’xcaly left their placos aud ran into (ho sirect. Deneo volumes af black umolio wero soen pouring out from the windows of tho sixth story, from the apartmout tormed by the em- ployes na the mule-room. Alroady woro dozens of inon engagod with hand-engimos and bucket- fuls of water trying to extinguish tho fire, but without avail. In tho meautimo nn slarm was given from Box No. 7, but, owing to somo defoct 1 tho telegraphic appatatus, tho signal was not properly uuderstood, and before it could bo ro- peated ten minutes' valuablo time was lost, and the famos, fod by the combustiblo avd influn- nithle matter, swept throngh tho antira length of the mule-room ero the Fire Departmont roached the ground. % THE OCENE. Tho newa that the Granito Mill was on firo spread through the city with great rapidity, and in loss than 20 nunutes from tho time the alarm was sounded thousands of paopls wero gathersd nbout tho burning structure, and filled thostrects and avenues leading thoreto. Tho scons now proseuted wns ono of tho most lmnrlrondiufi character, and ono that will hardly bo effacos from the minds of thoss who witnessed it, In the windows near the roof wero soen scorca of ill-fated womon and children, siruggling in their cfforts to cecapo from tho flames which roared and seothed about them likon very wall of firo, Womun with blanched fuces pitoously besought their friends below to suve them trom deatli; littlo chbildren frantically called upon thoir fathers and mothora to aid them., Tho stronger pushed the weakor ones hack, and with tho desporation of insanity hurled themsclvos bolow to tho pavement, a distanco of over G0 fect, sowe meoting with instant doath, while others received guch injuries as wilt probably rosult fatally, and many aro bruised and maimed for life. Bolow stood tho parents, wives, eisters and brothors of tho doomed, not a few of whom seemed transfixed with fear, and wero unablo to spenk or move. Othors ran leadlong towards tho burning mass, only to be pushed back by tho oficers and police authorities guarding the on- trance to thamili, Now a woman with corpse- like faco nud dishoveled Loir would clasp her lmnds and utter 2 plercing wail of anguish s gho boheld tha body of hor hushand fulling to the ground, and was pleked up s bleeding and inanimatos] mass, Motliers ran hither aud thither, calling | tho nemes of their children, and wringing their Lunds i wild despatr as thoy roceived no ro- #pongo to their wild cries. ‘' OL,” exclaimed oune pour woman, *this morning my boy and girl loft my housolight-licatted, aud promised to comno Liomo eurly to-night! Where aro thoy now!” A few momeuts lnter, and the lifeless body of hor darliug boy was taken from the court~ yord, while ker daugliter, a fine givl of nbout 18 yonrs, waut down with the falling tloor,; and was burned to a crinp. In the meantuno, tho fire- men and numerous cilizens wore battling with the flames, which shot upward in huge columns, whilo tho Dlinding clondn of smoko frequontly swept down amony the surgiug mass of human- ity, driving tho firomen from their work and for komo -tirne causing tha blackness of night in tho streats. Above the roar of tho flames could bio heard the sbricks of the victims, ag thoy- flung themeolves head« Jong to tha ground, or wera #wallowed up in the devouring clement. Lailders wero run up on all sitles of tho mill, and upon the topmost rounds were seon binve hosemen sending stream after stream into the building, Often did tho dune fanned by tho varying winds which prevailed o that timo, envelop the firomen on tho laddors, and compel thom to retroat for short jutervals, A general nlurim was givon, and quickly aftorward tho entiro Firo Dclmrlmcnt wak on the ground and working as only brave men can work intheir offorts to savo human life and valuablo propor- ty. ‘Chrec-quarters of an hour hiad now olapsed, nnd still the flames ' raged florcely, Tho roof then fell in, crushing through the floor of ihe eixth dnd down to tho fifth stery, and “oarryiug with it thoso of the unfortunate people who long befora wove auflocated by tho emoke. Portions of tho gablo walls noxt foll outward, burying thoso who jumpod from the windows, and wouud- ing others n the vicinity, As soon ns possiblo hmndreds of slroog men went forward and began tho work of recovering the dead aud wounded, Horrowing and anxions faces followed, and crowdod wround the workmen, reanning tho bodies us thoy wers borne from' tha yard to tho Misslon Chupol, ou Plensuut strees, ~ Hundreds of pooplo gathorad about the nbove placo, all frantically demnuding to bo admittod, in order Lo nscorwin if wny of their relatives or frionds were among tho dead, Two hours' arduons and incessunt work, aud the flromen succeeded in gotting the tlawmes so far nndor control ay to reach the (Ifth story. Hero wero found numbers of tho dend oporatives, mostly womon and chile dron ; some huddled togethor in corners of tho room, others lying on_ the floor, and a fow crouched undor tho broken iachines, ns il wsecking sholter there from un awful death ; others wero lylug nt full longih on_tho floor, their- blackoued faces, bleeding and burned forms, phiuly tolliug that their strugglo Lud been o fearful ome. A young girl named Elleu Jones, who worked n the room whera the firo originated, fustencd u rope to the window wl lowered herkolf to tho sccond story, when the line broke and sho fell to tho ground, a_distance of 45 foot, Lreahing lior righit leg and recoiving such intornal injuries u8 doubtlons will canso her doath, 'The doud uud doubtloss will causo hor donth, ‘Lhe dead and wounded wora Jowered to the ground by menns of ropus, and those rocognized by friouds woro takou to tholr homes, while muny burncd aud churrod Lodies, far beyond tho pow- or of recognition, wore eartied to tho Misslon Chapel, Sice tho fira wus_oxtinguistiod the work of senrching for tho viothns hus beon con- tinuod by two largo gnngs of men. Lhrough the lou{:lmum of tho past two nighis tho frienda and relutives of the unrecognizod und - missing oporativoy lingerod nboul tho ruins oagorly watching the man us they overhauled tho dobls, and crowding ubout them ea u hody or portions af lmman remuips wore broughe to light, In oo caeed tlono were recognizud, not tndued by faco or fiyuro, but nhnpl{ by some’ stirods of theic gnrmonts or a little lovket or othor taken, T'hen woutld tho slillucss of tho night bo broken hy the plorcing wail of griet from nowa loving motlier or affoctionate sister or brother, THE BURNED MILL, s herofore mentionad, {6 situatod on Twolfth utroet, Whd Of grauite, six storios high, with pltoh roof, and is 823 foot long by 70 foot wide, Thero woro iron centra stalrwaya in tho mill iunning to the varlous dopart- nionts, Tho first mlory contnlued the cloth and wonve roonis; tho eccond atory was ocet= pled for woaving; the third for carding; the ourth, fifth, nud oixth for spinning, aud thoe fl- tio for slnshers, warpers, and spooling. In the rour was ixlukur wing of stoue, 46 by 64, throo storlos, with flat roof, Tho othor aparimonts woro nsed for plokers, oponors, and nlnprom. In tho remr of thin room was & lirgo ntono aparlmont umed for the storing of cotton. Tho mill firo appatatus con- sistod of threa stenm firo-pumps, which woro conunooted with two stand-pipes on tho weat sald of tha building, and thoro are also two largo hiydrants in tho yard. Whon tho firo was discovered the abova apparatus was bronght into roquinition as soon ns possible, and dil good servico befora tho ariival of the Fire Dopart- mont, Tho only pnssagowny leading to the #ixth ptory whoro tho firo originated was in tho tower in he conire of thh main.bullding on Twalfth slroot. Thusit will be scon that o the hllmlh;gumul;n rollad toward tho only place whoro 1t could find ogrosa tho eecapa of the porsons omployed theroin was complotoly ent off, and such as attempted to leave by the towor stnirs wera snifocated and porished beforo reaching tho ifth story. The entire roof and Iargo por- tions of the north and south gable fell in, orush-~ ing tha largo number of apindlos, Jooms, and vthor machinca uaed in tho factory, Tho bulld- iug was erected fu 1804, ORUIN OF THE I, ETO. As far a8 can bo nscortained, it seoms that fho fire bogan in tho mulo-room on the sisth story, and wus cauncd hy some eotton taking firo by the friction of a mule-head, Thin part of the ma- chinory was in cbarge of alna named Samuel Young, and his prineipal duty was to koop all of its bearings woll oilod, For eomo unexplained reason tho Ind faled to perform his task, aud tho frivtion caused by the volocity of the ehaft or mule-head not fire to somo looso threads of ‘cotion. Tho hoy was tho flrst to nolico tho firo,and immedintely gave the alarm. 1o Ind scarcely dono g beforo the fire wag communi- cated to a pilo of the samo materiala which Tit up with olecttie-llko spoed and theu flasbed from spindlo to spindlo, until, as ano of the oporativoa wwho wae presont oxpreseed it, tho whole room was ablaze, and ** we were all running to and fro ina sea of flamo,” Iad:thore beenfothor modea of ogress thun that of the tower to the muloe- room, it eeems highly probablo that tho om- ployea who now lio cold in death or ntretched upon thelr bods writhing in pain aund tor- turo would havo beon saved, During tho enrly part of yestordsy o voport was in_ ciroulation that tho ofticors of tho various deparimonts locked the doors, and thus prevented mauy from succoring tho unfortunate pooplo in tho spool- room. 'Ibin is positively deniod by the Buporin- tendent and ovorgoors, and {8 corroborated by many of the operatives; who wero then in tho building. Mr. MeCroory and soveral of lus suberdinates, upon hearing tho firat shout of firo, ran inrough the fst, second, snd third storles, boscoching tho hands to and to pagg ordorly, but quickly, from the mill, As might bo expected under such fearfal cir- cumstances, men, women, and childron camo pouring down tho stairways, all panic-stricken, and choking up the avouucs of escape, not hearing or heoding the eautions of theue oflicors. Bo rapid were tho flamaes that swopt down tho ‘broad staireaso from tho bowor that soversl poo- ple who wero about to leava the mill by tho con- tral passasreway were caught by the pilter of tire, and some wero buracd to douth, and others seri~ oualy injureds A mzno. While the flames wera raging, and the victimg in tho uppoer rooms piteously ealling thoso bolow to yorewo them, Ar, John M. Bos- worth, a firoman, reachiod the roof-and by menns of a ropa lowerced o number of womeu and chil- dron 1n gafety to theground, The gullant and noblo man continued his herolo work until tho flames ahnost encircled him and tho tottering roof nlmoat gave way beneath him, Then, and then only, did he dosist from big snving: worlt, and with %rout dificulty ronchied s ladder nnd deseonded fo tho gronud, which ho_barely renchied when tho roof fell in with o loud crash. AMOX( TIR RUINS, At an early hour this moruing crowds of peo- ple bogau to nssemble in the vicinity of .the ruins of the mill, the sorrowful faces of mauny plainly telling that somo loved fricnd was num- berod nwong the dend or mivsing, Long boforo duybreak n woman named Birs, Har- rington, whoso duughtor Margaret, 16 years old, was roported minsiui;, visited the Superin- tondent's house, and ituplored him to bo allowed to search nmong the rains, ** Oh, sir,” snid she, “do plense let mo look for my poor Moggie, I koow sho lios buried thero,” or elso sho would long since havo come Lomo." She was kindly told that all_possible search would be mnde for her child, This did not seom to satisfy ber, and sho stood about, sobbing and ropeating tho namo of her daughter, bomoaving hor sad futo. bour - later, the charred and Dblackened re- maing of littlo Mnggie werefound undor somo machineiy in the gpinniug-room. Whon told that nor child had been found, Mrs, Harrington gavo vent to bor grief in heartrouding tonos, and wag tenderly borno from the place to her home by kind friends. Toward ovening the work of scarching for the missing wus concluded, and |, ontsido the gates wero groups of people taliug over tho melancholy ovent, The story of Mr. Robort Smith, whose little son porished almosl hefore his oyes, caused many to Dba viribly atfected. “I was ewployed,” he snid, “1n tho mmle room, nonr the door, and s fow minutes beforo tho cry of tire waus givon, little Jamies started to ono of tho muley in the centro of tho room.” He states that sssoon ag ho hemd the alarm ha started towards bis son, who was eqmo distance from lum, but had not'gona 20 feo: from iy pust when ' cloud of blindug smoie drovedum back, and when this cleared away tho poor Ind was cueiteled with the living llnmes, and was buwned to o crisp. To- morrovs largo gaugs of men will rosume work in clearin { the debris nway, preparalory to rebuild- ing tha: portion of tho mull deatroyud. BURYING THE VICTIMS. J ‘This wftornoon tho funorals of nearly il the viclimn ook place. All but six oftha b four boles wers iuterred by rolatives frionds, Of the six badies nurecognized vno was that ¥ a man, oue of a young girl, and the othors o children vayying m ages from W to 14 yeura, ‘Cheso woro re- movod lagt night from the Mission Chapel to City-Ainrohnl’s oftice, MHoro tho remaing woro placec in ploin colling and ail carried to the North Cemstery. Nearly all the others were bwiied in Cak Grove Cometory. As neurly all tho victima vesided in houses belonging to tho corporation and ndjoiniug the will, the scono in that locality during tho preparations for tho fuuerals was indecd one woll cnleulated to awaken sympathy in themost obdurato of hoarts. On one street wes counted sevon honrses wait- ing to carry to their lust rosting-places the re maius of the poor victima of yestorday’s disn- tor. As tho plain colllns woro borue from the humble homos hoart-breaking lamontations would broak tho Sabbath atillnees, A cairiage or two contaiving tho immodiate rolatives gen- orally followed tho hearse to the gravoyard, whero tho ecenen of agonys and griof of paronts, sistors, or brothors would again be renowed. At Oak Grove Cowetory a littlo boy, the brother to n yonng givl, who was his only support and rol- ative Jiviug, cast himsolf n(mu his_ sinter's new made grave, and, while sculding tesrs coursed down hig littlo face, sohbed: *Oh| sister, els- ter, como back, You told mother when she died thut you would take enro of me.” 'Tho poor ohild was with ditlculty removed from ~tho lonely place by frvieuds, who promised to give him s'home until o could begin the battlo of lifo for himsclf. As the shades of night began (g guther, tho nad and solomu dutlos of burying the dead wore peiformed, and the moumors ro- turned to their homos so suddenly nyidp desolnto Ly tho loss of one or moro momberi%of their fuwilies, 3 AIDING 'THZ RURYIVORS, Tho majority of thoss who escaped from the buruing factory of course had no timo to gather their outer garmonts, snd thoyo quickly bocame fuel for tho flery olomant, Aw soon a4 it was Itnown that preat suliering would necassarily Tollow tho awful avent, contributions of bedding, clothing, aud_provisions were sont to such ns needed aid, Mr, Jnmes MeOreory, the Buper- intondont of tho cstablisiient, supplied all who called unon him, with orders for cloth- Ing, grocories, fuel, and also dirceted thot tho dond should bo buried decontly und at tho ox- ponso of tho corporation, ‘Fho overscors and clerks wore sont among tho familica of the doud, wounded, and missing, to sscortuin and provide for all thoir needful wants, A lurge numbor of the wealthy citlzens also songht out the suffor. ing poople, nud gouorously provided for their wants, Atamocting of the Direotors hold lstejast ovening, the Superintendont was dircoted to enll ‘in the mon belonging to the mill and sot thotn to work clearing nway tho ruins, Tho woman and children will bo employed in othor estab- lshments ownod by the corporation, Mayor Duvouport It indolutigable 1w Lis oxortions towards alloviating tho distrous resulting from tho eulnnity, Tho will will be robuilt us oou ns powsible, and [n the meantime omploymaent will lm givon to all wsurvivoni rogistered on tha rolls of the Grunito Mill No. 1, Last avening a comn- nmittea of Jadios oalled at tho lnte homey of the victims and ussured such of tho relutives s woro doponding on them for snpport that all would bo amply provided for, aud that they neod not fear tho rigors of tho approsching wintor, A gone oral feoling of sympathy for tho families of those who poriehed und tho wounded porvades bo ealm. tho community, and deeire to do all in their pawer to auslet tho Imnr poeople is the unaul- moun sontiment of all clnsgos of tha citizens, MANAGEMENT OF THF, FINT, The tardiness of mome in authority In tho management of tho Five Dopartmont s sharnly critioisod by the pooplo, Al agred that the Liro Dopartment in o most efliclont ono If proporly mannged. It 1 univoranlly stated that aftor the blunder i sonnding the alarm waa rectiflod, tho firamon wore promptly on the ground, but a long time o!n‘mod Loforo they could ba nuulfin L anlt- nblo positionn to attack™ the flames, Apain It s auserted that thore was consderabla difliculty in obtaining n suficiont supply of stater from tho hy- drants, o mattor which conld horotnforo hinve beon cauily attended to and tho necesuary force of wotor from tho hydrants ready at all timen for usa, Bomo mnintain that it was not until nine- teen minutes aftor thio alarm waa givon that the firat stonmor roached tho building. Another dofoct in the departmont roems to exist from the fact that tho two Inddor trucks are but poorly supplied with ladders. A goutloman who witnogsed the Qira from the timo whon it flrst brola ont, stated yesterday that it tho Jadder mon had run up thelr longest ladders many who wore burned might have been 1escucd, A mombor of the Firo liepartment, whose statomont is cor- roborated by nmmeraus citizens, rofutes this chnvgo, and atntes that when the ladder-trucks reachied the ground the people wors jumping from tho windows, o furthor states that, as soon a8 possiblo, the long laddors were spliced and run up, Lut wero about 10 feot too short to ronch the windows, Thereis but littlo doubt, howavar, that the laddor men, aided by other mombers of the department, navod many livea by tholr herole conduct, and worked faitbiully aud nobly during the holtast of tha fire, TIR MEANS OF FSCAVE from tho mill is also the thema of convereation.

In tho enrly history of Plttsburg thero was o similor case. Tho husbond was ono of the most prominent oitlzens, a momber of ono of tho wonlthicst families.

Tons'of thousands of wives condane the crimos of husbands; is it so'vory wondorful that soma men ean forflvo their pinning wives? Nor is it 80 unparalloled that frionds should bo called up- ou to aid in suppressing a scandal and presorving families from the consequences of tho wiong- doing of ono of their number.
