As soon as possible, the .police and firemen, aided by the employes of the wrecked mill who escaped death or injury in the explosion, began the work of rescuing the victims. At this writing five dead bodies have been taken out of the ruins. All were frightfully crushed and burned, some of them being unrecognizable. Twelve men injured more or less seriously have also been rescued and taken to various hospitals in the city. B is feared that some of them will not survive their Injuries.
