Naturally, then, the first tidings given by The Leader last evening caused a shock to many of our people, who, while reading the ac count of the awful struggles for liber ty and life, the death list growing from hfoftient to moment, were • consumed by anxiety, hoping and praying * that • none of their friends and loved ones Tv‘ere imprisoned in th^ deadly slaugh ter pen, ,!^n the earlier stages of excltemen'b and o.xertion attendant upon an event like that of yesterday afternoon in Chicago, it is impossible to obtain any thing like an accurate list of names. At such moments the concentrated ef forts of all who are free to act is to- w'ard the salvation'of human life. The sombre, systematic task pf identifica tion .comes later, and that has marked the ^progress of events for hours past, so that in the present issue of The Leader we are enabled to .give the death roll as far as it has been pre pared. It is a long one, containing the names of hundreds . who yesterday morning were in the full enjoyment of health and happiness, and who, ere the sun went down, were .scbrehed, mangled and blackened corpses. God grant that in the perusal of that long and sombre list of dead, none’ of our Gloversville friends may find that tlieir-early fears respecting dear ones may be found to have been realized. It is early, perhaps, to attempt to attach blame, but it would seem like an ominous thing to contemplate the fact that the asbestos curtain, designed to prptebt people who are massed to gether in the great auditorium;-''failed to operate at the critical moment, THE NEW YEAR. :lrawn on futurity, liere is a sourc« STAtification iff inditlgrttg the hope Before the rising of the sun, another year will have been ushered in, and to all its readers The Leader extends tne cordial greeting—“A Happy New Year.” The twelve months just closing have bj.ppght xvifh them their ups and downs, in lire industrial realm and elsewhere, but in the main there have been pros perous times.
