| NEW YORK, March 27.--One hundred and |
|forty-one persons are dead as a result |
|of the fire which on Saturday afternoon |
|swept the three upper floors of the |
|factory loft building at the northwest |
|corner of Washington place and Greene |
|street. More than three-quarters of this |
|number are women and girls, who were |
|employed in the Triangle Shirt Waist |
|factory, where the fire |
|originated.--_Boston Transcript._ |

(b) _List of Dead._--When the number of dead or injured reaches any very
significant figure it is customary to make a table of dead and injured.
This table is usually set into the story close after the lead, but very
often the list is put in a "box" and slipped in above the story. In
writing the story, however, the reporter disregards the table and begins
his lead as if there were no table: e.g., "Twelve firemen were killed
and fourteen injured in a fire----" The list usually gives the name,
address (or some other identification), and the nature of the injury,
thus:

| =Injured Firemen:= |
| |
|Capt. Frank Makal, Engine Co. No. 4, |
|cut by glass. |
| |
|Acting Captain W. E. Brown, fire boat |
|No. 23, cut by glass. |
| |
|Peter Ryan, No. 15, flying |
|glass.--_Milwaukee Free Press._ |

Or:

| =The Dead:= |
| |
|Mrs. Charles Smith, 14 W. Gorham |
|street. |
| |
|John Johnson, 1193 Chatham street. |
| |
| =The Injured:= |
