PCUR HUNDRED GIRLS AND MBN SHUTIN BY TEE FLAMBS—PRIGYTFUL LIST OF KILLED AND WOUNDRD—SCRNES AND INCIDENTS OF THE DISASTER. ‘Telegrams announcing the barning of Granite Mill No.1, at Fall Kiver, Mass., and the sad lors of life, were published in Tux Srar or arday. ORIGIN OF TI A specialto the New ¥ Herald of yester- Gay says: “The fire originated from heat, oc- casioned by the friction of some inachinery which was hot properly oiled. It canght in the fourth story, pear a large tower, in the center of the mammoth building. When tirst seensome of the heip attempted to check it with pails or water; but tho folly of this was early apparent, for in less than three minutes the whole end of the building was burning, and forks of flame and clouds of smoke were forcing their way through the doors and windows. HORRIBYING 8CHNES. The excitement was terribie—men, women and children running through the streets in f-crazed manner, many being not more than half clad. Not until after fiames had gained great headway was the alarm sounded. At that time the flames were pouring out of tae lower witdows. The attic or spool room con- tained from fifty to seventy-five young girls, and the first thing they knew of the presence of the approaching fire was a douse, suffocating yolume of smoke. Of course this produced a panic, and the girls were almost paralyzed with fright. As the flames were leaping up the staircase, there was now no possible means of eseape, and the crowd of shrieking, half crazed girls fied to the northern section of the butid- ing. huddled together, and, realizing that the flames must soon reach them, some began pray- ing, others calling for help. One or two heroi men, by means of @ rope, landed several ot them safely on the ground; others jumped from the windows to the ground, preferring death in such @ manner rather than by burning. Most of those who threw themselyes from the win- dows were in the sixth upper story, ani of course were nearly all instantly killed or eo badly injured as to live but a short time. The bodies of some were ‘soap dashed to pieces nd were only recoguizabie by A MARVELLOUS LEAP. Only one person out of all who leaped from the windows esca| without betng Killed or terribly bruised. This wasa lad about sixteen years old; and, incredible asit may seem, he jumped from the upper story and landed on bis feet and was only somewhat jarred by this terri- ble leap. FIRE. PARALYZED WITH PEAR. Mies Smith, a girl who was among the saved, faye that her iirst knowledge of impending dan- ger was trem some girls at the other end or the Toom runping toward her shrieking and crying, many of them 0 terror stricken that their limbs became almost useless. Some of the she sars, were praying, others wildly lamer ing, and others, who were so paralyzed wich fear, stood in mute agony and seemingly almost uncénscious of their danger. THR HERO OF THE CALAMITY iia young fellow named Bosworth, who low- ered on the end of a rope and then took another in his arms and descended safely with her down the same rope to the ground. A moment later and the flames had burned the upper end of the rope fo that it was no longer available. One man, being completely cut off, made his exit to the roof by means of ‘the scuttle, and, with a Tope, lowed himself over the roof to the ground meafety. When be reached terra firma he stated that a companion who was just bebind had fallen scfocated. STORY OF JULIA COPPER, A young girl named Julia Coilee states that she was first alarmed by the ery of “fire,” and at the time heavy columns oPmoke barst through the spool room door. The overseer was surrounded by a crowd of little children, and as soon as the alarm was given he rushed for the staircase, but was forced back by the incoming flames. He theu rushed fer the elevator, still surrounded by the shrieking, territied opera- tives. A crowd of tue children were placed on the elevator, but when he attempted to send it down it would not work, A number of the children were taken off, but even it failed to respond to the beit. A rush was then made for the window, and a uumber of men ip the room began uncolling a long rope to let the terrified crowd to the ground. (Quite a number had been parse down in safety, when tha rope, about 25 Teet from the ground, was burned in two. The overreer had in the meantime descended the line and reached the ground with bat a few in- juries. By this time the smoke had become $9 dense that all who remained were compelled to crowd to the windows tor air, many of them plurgirg head foremost to the ground, and their brains were scattered around for several yards. TAR AGONY OF DESPAIR. About one honr after the fire had enveloped the entire story below the attic and had worked iis way, preceded by immense volumes of emoke, to the Fpool room, @ young girl was seen to pre- sent herselt at @ windew of the fifth story, in the south end, and, throwing up her arms in a pitiful, agonizing way, her lips moving appar- ently in prayer, fell back in the burning room and disappeared. In other windows the same heartrending scenes were enacted, and the pe»- ple far beneath, unable to aid the poor, suffer- mg res, looked on in horror. The men aud boys were the first tocommence jamping from the windows in the fourth and fitth atorice, but soon after the girls employed in the differ. ent rooms Legan to leap to the ground. Every window was crowded with excited persons, ail eager to jamp out, but upon stepping on the window sill they would hesitate a moment about the distance, and then with a wild shout spring ae far as possible ont into the air only to fall to the ground frightfully creshed. Many who had sustained only slight injuries by their fall would be rendered almost helpless by some one jump- ing upon them. THE LIST OF CASUALTIES. A dispatch from Fall River, dated yesterday, Says reports of the ie and mili aathoria reduce the number of killed by the mill disaster to 20; missing,3; wounded, 36; fatally, 2; recove- ry deubtful, 13; slightly wounded, 21. ‘A later dispatch says: Three of the wounded have since died, making total deaths 23. THE RESPONSIBILITY. ‘The fire caught from some heated machinery. It does not pang that there were any app! ances for sach an emergency beyond a few pails of water. If there was any apparatus it certain- ly was not used. There were numerous fire es- 's on the sides of the buildings, but none on the ends, where, in this instance, they would have been useful. The elevator refused to work at the critical moment, or many might have been rescued by that source. Another drawback was the imperfect working of the fire-alarm tele b; for at first the w: number of stro! were sounded, and the firemen were as to the Led ao location of the fire, and when they did arrive on the spot the saving of the building was an impossibility. The man= sgement of the fireand the ity of the chief, as well as the efficiency of the department in general, is also freely criticised.

GOV. KELLOGG IN THR STATE HOUSE AGAIN. Dispatches from New Urieans, dated yester- day, state that Saiurday, at 10 o'clock a. m., Governor Kellogg and such other officers as Were in the city went to thestate-hous+, and the military authofities formally delivered up the buildings em, and furnished a military uard.

WHY HE LEPT THE STATE HOUSE. Governor Keliogg on Friday sent ths follow ing to Congressman Sypher and Senator West “I see by western papers that you have severely criticised my leaving the state house. I left it on Monday ouly at the earliest solicitation of ailour friends. The lieutenant governor ani tpeaker of the house being absent fsom th state, an accident to me they felt would have made the complication desperate. There were pone bat colored militia in the state house, and had they made any resistance they would have been burned out and massacred. The bullding was entirely indeensible. If our friends will come here and help us we will be very glad.” AFPAIRS IN NRW ORLEANS. It is understood that of the 6) Metropolitans on duty last Monday, ouly 230 could be mas- tered yesterday to relieve Boylan’s men. The Kellogg men offered asa bgp gemcerroed allow Boy to remain as chief of police, but be dectined the position unless the control of the force was committed to the city. Col. Baldy, of the Metropolitans, has taken charge of the stations. Only few of the Metropolitans were on the streets Saturday night. Majors William A. Wells and Charles Laner, ho were wounded in the fight on Monday last, are dead. The revenue catter John A. Dix and two monitors are in the river opposite the city. ‘The monitors were sold last week at auction, but the eale has not yet been approved. ANOTHER SMALL REBELLION. At the mass meeting of citizens held in Dethi, La., Saturday, composed largely of citizens of Franklin and Richland parishes, it was resolved that they would recognize no parish officers holding commissions solely ander Kellogg, the usvrper, unless force is brought to compel their obedience, that they notify all persons at- tempting to hold to fold office under such cir- cumstances that are obnoxious, and must give way to those of the psople’s choice, that taey hold as infamous ail those who shall attempt to exercise official functions under commissions from the usurper; that they urge upon all otuer parishes to join in a similar movement. Elopement Extraordinary. A PEAUTIFUL YOUNG HEIRESS ELOPES WITH A COLORED SERVART—FAUITLESS SBAucd OP THE HEART-BROKEN PARBSTS. A telegram from Norristown, Pa., September 15, says: The usnaily staid, quiet and aristo- cratie portion of Bucks county, kaowa as War- minster township, is jast now greatly excited over a somewhat strange elopement. It seems that about a year since a fancy colored man, named Joe Palmer,came to Warminster and engaged with Mr. John Thompson, one of the aristocratic citizens, as a man of all work, While thus employed it was noticed that he was quite intimate with Miss Annie Thompson, the besutiful, refined and accomplished daughter. of his employer. Shortly afterward Palmer was taken ili,and Miss Thompson attended to him until the family prevented it by having him removed elsewhere. But it seems that Mies Thompson's visits were clandestinely con- tinued to him. After his convalescence, it is reported that Joe Palmer sail that he would be even with the Thompsons for sending him away trom their residence during his illness, Miss Thsmpson’s father and mother did all they could to prevent any further inti- macy between their daughter and Palmer, and she seemingly consented completely to their wishes, but neither they nor the community were prepared for the denoument which has taken place. A day or two since Joe Palmer stated to various persons tuat he was going west and was noticed making extensive prepa- rations, About the same time Miss Thompson persuaded her mother to allow a visit to a neighboring township to make soma parchasas. She went instead to the railroad depot, and, bosrding the Phiiadelphia train, met Palmar at the next staton.

Naultner, charged with attempting to negotiate a 1,0) United States registered bond which had been tempered with and the name of the Dayee erased, came up again to-day before United States’ Commissioner Osborn. His counsel moved for a dismissal of the complaint and the discharge of Naultner,on the ground that the government bad failed to show any guilty entente on the part of Naultner, which was & requisite to holdizg a person tor trial.

Bul'et the Trustee ard Committee of Oreditorr, and Mr. MeMartrie, Jay Cooke & Uo. Before the senior partner of the frm was called, Mr. Moorhead made @ statement in respect to the operations of the firm of Jay Cooke & Co. He said that in ten years the house of Jay Cooke & Co. did business in gov- erpmect bonds to the extent of three thousand millions of dollars, and that the entire business of the house amounted to five thousand m'llions of dollars. The transactions of tive handred miliions annually had such an effect upon the mind of Jay Cooke, that he could not conceive it possible the house could suspend for the want ofsix Or seven millions of doi and he did not believe it when the doors wer ysed. Jay Cooke was then called and examined by Mr. Gazzam briefly. A number of the questions asked him were the same as had been put by Mr. Bennett, and to not a few Mr. Cooke replied that the schedules in the bands of the register would more specifically give the needed infor- mation than he could. He said that the firm had, as the basis of credit, a capital in 1ST1 Of &6,16%. 581.79, bevides their separate estate. The d posits of eight millions of dotiars which the firm received were in part used in making loans, ad- vances, Sc. Being asked if the assets in bonds, undivided profits and in cas received from de- not, at the time of the saspension, amount to $15,500,000 or thereabouts, he replied, considerably more than that; the firm held notes at various times of the Nerthern Pacific rail- Toad company to the amount of two millions of dollars or more; of those notes, 100,000 in amount are now held by the First National Bank of Washington, and they have made a claim for that amount on the estate of Jay Cooke & Co.; [ know nothing of the settlement of claims against Jay Cooke & Co ; I have unt- formly advised persons not to sell their claims; I have no knowledge of nogotia- tions for the purchase of claims; no material advances were made to the Northern Pacific Railroad company till 1572; we advanced every day up to the bour of out suspension, at which time the balance against the company was, I think, about ¢4 200,000; the exact amount will be found in our schedules; we paid 86\ per cent. on the bonde; at the time of the suspeu- sion ail the bonds in our hands were turned over to the trustee in bank~uptcy and be holds them yet; these, with the other bonds in bis hands, Amount to six or seven million dollars; I cannot fay when we recetved the last lot of bondsof the Northern Pacific; we did purchase the unissued Ddalance of that railroad company’s bonds, amounting to $7,500,000, for which, under a hew contract, we paid 83 per cent. less 5 per cent. for advertising and interest; the company was our debtor at the time of the failure; our books will show the proper credits to the com- pany, the account having been made up since they were handed over to the trustee. The counsel did not think he should desire to further examine Jay Cook ut thought he might bave a few questions at a further time to put to Mr. Moorhead. No day was named for a further investigation.— P) dyer, 19th. 5 A STRANGE STORY ABOUT THE ABDUCTION The Rosas abduction case, which has caused so much talk and s0 profuse a waste of publi> sympathy, is at last approaching the conclasion which shrewd observers believed it would coms id that is that there bas been no avduction at all. The Germantown Telegraph, which should be good authority concerning a matter occar- ring £0 immediately in its own vicinity, con- tained the following in its iast issue: “In the Koss abduction case, which for months bas ex- cited this community 80 much and occupied so wide a space in the newspapers, it is pow gen- erally believed—and was by many at the begin. ning—that no thieves or sharpers, for the sake of rapsom, had any hand in it all; in @ word, that no crime was committed, ant ‘that the boy isnot harmed or likely to be. {f such is the fact then somebody bas incurred @ responsibili ty the community which will not easily be got na of.” The Reading Eagle has also published a letter from Germantown, which purported to have been written by a neighbor of the “stricken” family, and to represent the opia ions of the neighborhood very ge upon the socalled kidnapping case. writer tates that about ten years azo the of the missing child married western lady, that daring their boys, Walter and Charli, were A Tew yeors ago, he says, the pa live amicably together, aud tia returned to her family in the we: quent'y another person was brougl the place vacated by her, and still occupies Aficr parrating substantially what is s' above, the same writer contfnues tuue: * Phe following is the theory of those who know the the family, and who are acqua'nted wit: Ros personzliy: Some months before the kidnapping t. Koss received letters from the first ani only wife asking and demanding the children. It will be recollected that eveu up to this time he bad retused to show any of the letters he re- ceived, with the exception of the blackmailing note, and it wiil also be borne in mind that the attempt was made to steal both the children. It was not until three days after the kidnapping that the fact was made public, and at toat time the child was safely in the hands of its mother or her friends in the west.” ANCTREE CHARLIR ROSS PorND.

Klota’s saloon was next visited and talked at by Mrs. Matchet, while the crowd evinoed dis orderly and poisy tendencies. Finally the wo- men left fur their headquarters, and the im- pression prevailed that neither the popularity of the crusaders nor the good canse of temper- ance was benefited by these episodes in the crusade.— Pittsburg Chron.,Vithe PoLick OvTRAGS In Brooktys,N.
