         (regarding the Pemberton Mill disaster)
         
         About 10 o'clock on Thursday evening, the body
       of a woman named MARGARET TURNER was recovered,
       in a horrid condition, her head and trunk being
       burned to a crisp. The body was identified by
       her sister, who took charge of it. The only means
       by which it could be recognized was by the dress
       which was little damaged. Towards morning two
       other bodies were found, which were also almost
       entirely burned up. One of them was that of MRS.
       AUGUSTA ANN ASHWORTH, which was but a little more
       than a mass of bones. The body was identified by
       her husband. The third body was in a similar con-
       dition to the other two, and could not be recog-
       nized.
