BOARD OF SCHOOL CONTROLLERS —ThiS

the Seventeenth section, aim,. an sat of Assembly,
recently adopted, that no person shad sot as am

to allow the mewing of tie act of Assembly, Which
he bed offered, and ales to act ota the reception of
;Mr. Hickey's credentials.
A debate of soma length ensued, in which it was
asserted that Mr. Kline, now representing the Se
venteenth section, had resigned as a member of the
Sectional Board, and the new ant of Assembly de
barred a person not a member
of a sectional board
from acting as a contridit r. It was charged that as
Mr. Kline was an opponent of Mr. Cregar,
of the Girls' High School, and would vote for
his espulsion at this meeting, the friends of Mr.
Cregar had secured the passage of the new act of
Assembly., by which Mr. Hickey, who is understood
to be a Mete of Mr. Cregar, claims a seat as 003.-
troller.
Dr. Nebinger said that he knew nothing of the
meeihe by which the act was pained.
Mr. Kline said he bad an much right to a seat to
this Board as Dr. Nebinger. In feet, the warmer of
the latter gentleman's election was of doubtful le.
gahty. lie (Dr. N.) came here. said Mr. Stine, for
It ipecac purpose, and had used certain members to
accomplish his object. He had no further service
for those gentlemen. The speaker did not care for

secured its passage would resort to any means or
-carrying out their ends.

Kir Kline asked if Dr. Kehinger meant that he
(Kline) had endeavored to legislate himself into

Nebinger said that be would mention no

aueh a crime, it was a matter entirely with himself.
Mr. Green said that he felt a sympathy for any
public Oboes who was turned out of office. But
rsiupstby should not interfere with duty, and he
felt it to be his duty to vote for the expulsion of Mr.
Crerar. He did not desire to have the matter post
poned a day. The prejudio. , against Air. Cregar,
on the part of the principal. of the grammar schools,
was so stiong as to be of itself a sufficient reason
for his removal.
Palethorp remarked thst the greet prosperity

to the competency and ability of dr. ()mot. It
gave h3m pleasure to say, that so far as he could

such alteration was made as experience had ex

The jury retired, and in half an hour agreed upon
a verdict, which, with a brief though comprehen•
sive condensation of the evidence, we present in full.
The jury say : In examining into the Ginnie of the
late disastrous explosion, we find the follOWing facts
presented to us :
A boiler, built upon a certain plan, had been in
use in the establishment for seven years; it had
proved economical in its consumption of fuel, and
occupied but little space; as, however. it had been
in constant use for the noose numbar of yeses, it was
deemed advisable by the firm to construct a new
boiler, which might either work alternately with
the old one, or take its place in supplying them with
steam.
The old boiler had never given them any trouble,
except in one part called the water legs ' in the neck
part Of Which, that is, back of the bridge wall,
sediment had collected, and caused the irou to rust
out.
Satisfied with the efficiency of the first boiler, the
new one was designed upon the same general plan
as the old one, every precaution being taken (as
was auppoaed) to make it strong and durable, and
to obviate the .trouble &tieing from the aaaumula•
tion of sediment in the water lege, a modification
Fan made in that part.
The second boiler being .completed, was tested
and found to leak in A certain place. Thin leek was
men& d, end after several trials the boiler Was pro
nounced tight and ready for use. The boiler was
then fired, and furnished steam for the establish
ment at that in connection with the old one, and
finally for several days by itself.
On the morning of April sixth, the day of the ex
plosion, the leak was found to have reopened to
mush an extent u to cause uneasiness as to the
water supply on the part of the foreman of the es
tablishment, Mr. Denby, who gave orders to have
steam raised in the old boiler, and to draw the fires
in the new one.
While these orders were being carried out the ex
plosion occurred.
Examining into the competency of the man in
charge of the boiler, the conviction is forced upon us
that he wsa well qualified for his situation, and was
a good, careful man.
AbunCsaii Testimony has also been given to prove
that the pressure of steam at or immediately before
the explosion was not more than fifty-seven pounds,
and that the boiler was well supplied with water.
The usual theories of explosions, namely, low
water; sudden priming- or forcing up of water into
the heated steam, &c. seem not to be applicable to
the present case, and ' we are forced into a conlidera
tion of the form of this boiler and the possible ex
istence of some Weak point which did not exist in
the old one,
This boiler is of form similar to those used on
steam vessels, and having flat sift; 11013 an arched
roof, is mainly dependant upon stays for its strength.
The sides seem to have been abundantly supplied
With these stass, and to have been but little injured
by the explosion, while the whole of the bottom
put, containing the furnaces, has been violently rent
from the sides, and projected in one direction, while
the main part of the boiler was thrown in an oppo-`
site direction.
TEES VBRDIpT
The bottom or furnace part of the boiler consists
of a eerier of arched passage, used as furnaces;
said passages being twenty-one inches wide, semi
circular on the top or crown, and stayed from one
to the other by a series of iron braces- The parts
between the arches are what have been termed
waterless. These water-legs on the old boiler ex
tended from the front to the back of the boiler, thus
forming poweriul beams, thirty Inches in depth, to
resist the pressure of the steam tending to push the
bottom out of the boiler. At the front they are con
nected by a water space below the doors of the fur
naces, and at the back by a water space extending
to the bottom; and thus were firmly united, and
formed, as it were, a floor supported by beams about
thirty Inches deep, rive inct es wide, and only thirteen
feet long, which were, moreover, tied together top
and bottom, at both ends, to prevent their spreading
at the bottom from the pressure above ; a form ad
mirably adapted to carry the load placed upon it.
In the new boiler we find that the beams upon
which depend the stability of the bottom, were not
continued from end to end of a uniform depth, but
by the cutting off of the part which was filled with
sediment in the oid boiler, have been reduced to a
depth from the crown to the bottom of but thirteen
inches for a clatance of one half of their entire
length. Hence the floor beams, as it were, are re•
duced to less than one-half of the depth of those in
the old boiler, namely, from thirty inches-to thir
teen inches in thii- centre of the bolter bottom.
The most valuablejfart of the beams having been re
moved by this operation, and the main support of
the crown sheets taken away, no additional stays
were put in to compensate for this weakness.
Without going into any calculation of the strength
of the floor of the boiler, we see that it in not hall
as ohm as the old one. and has yielded under a
pr,satire of only fifty-seven pounds per square inch.
That the yield took place at this part, in the very
centre of the boiler bottom, is manifested by the
leak, which persistently appeared at this very part,
where a rupture should have begun if the floor was
too weak, This leak was mended from time to
time, but, on the day of the explosion, had increased
to such an extent as to endanger the water-supply,
and to cause the order to be given for discontinuing
the use of this boiler, unfortunately too late, al.
though this order was promptly given, and was in
course of execution.
We have, therefore to render the verdict that
Daniel ItlcLenighlin John Dougherty, John Me-
Gowan John S. W J ebb, J. Wiener, Patrick Bran.
non, Edward Bannon, Alexander Giles, Alexander
Hickey, came to their death by the explosion of a
boiler in the establishment of Messrs. Merrick.
Sons, 400 Washington avenue, on the 6th day of
April, ibtri, said explosion having resulted from a
cerect in the construction of the boiler, which defeat
originated in a change of form from a boiler previ
ously used with entire safety, and which change
was designed to remedy the trouble of sedimentary
deposits._lour ;ury believe that the diminished strength
which resulted from the change escaped the notice
of the constructors, and that the making of the new
boiler and its management afterwards were designed
as precautionary measures, and were intended to
avoid the very disaster which has fallen upon them
and the unfortunate victims.

DEDICATED. The Mariner's Baptist
Bethel, on Front street, above the navy yard, was
dedicated last evening with appropriate ceremonies.
There was a very large attendance of persons con
nected with other churches. as well as those more
directly interested in the church, who heretofore
have seldom or ever attended divine service any
where. The exercises were of the usual kind, and
were Of the most impressive and touching character.
The need of the Bethel has long been felt in the
neighborhood, and much prosperity is predicted for
it, under its much-esteemed pastor, Rev. Joseph
Parry. The structure itself is built in the most sub
stantial and elegant manner, for which much of the
credit is due to Mr Gendell, the architect. The
Bethel should be liberally sustained.

Frederick nlcGlade vs. Work, 111017 ouch, & Gn.
This was an action of assumpsit to recover $OO3
money had and received. Plaintiffff, who is a waiter
at an eating.bouse in Walnut street, near Third,
being smitten with the gold speculation fever in
February, 1860, when gold was at a premium of 7:1W 4
percent., bought of defendants $5 OOO at that pre
mium, to be delivered in thirty flays ; at the same
time he deposited with defendants a " margin," as
seems to have been customary, of $340 in gold, as
an assurance that they should not sorter lose The
following is the memoradum or agreement, which
was in evidence, showing the character of the trans
action :
Philadelphia, Feb. 21, 1863.—Frederick MaGlade
has left three hundred and forty dollars in American
ghis old as a margin on $5,000 Amer d ican gold sold him
day at 12%. t
tnirry s.
Pito y tlorrou, & Go."
Soon after the date of that Mittrum-nt gold com
menced rapidly to fall, and plaintiff's "margin"
WWI soon entirely absorbed. He failing to deposit
an additional sum to keep good his margin defen
dants claimed that his original deposit wa.forfetted.
At the end of the thirty days gold had dealing] to 40
per cent. premium, plaintiff thereby losing not only
his $390 in gold—equivalent when deposited to $5Bl
in greenbacks—bus a considerable sum in addition,
hem he been called upon to pay it. Not being setts.
fled, however, with the turn matters had taken, he
brought this suit to recover.
The evidence having been heard, and the case
closed, Judge Sharswood charged the jury in sub
stance, that if they believed the transaction wet co
understood by the pArti es, it
WAS a valid contrast,
and the defendants were entitled to a verdict, if they
had the gold in hand ready to deliver; but if it were a
mere speculation upon the rise and fall of gold, and
the parties had no intention of ever delivering it,
then it was a Wager, and An unlawful one; that the
contract was invalid, and the plaintiff was entitled
to recover. Jury out. J. P. and J. A. Owens for
plaintiff ; Dickson for defendants.
Margaret M. Laruey vs. John G. Dutton.—tin
action of assumpsit to recover a certain amount,
which, upon the settlement of the defendants' ac
counts as executor of the estate of Francis Fetes,
deceased, was decreed to be paid by the defendant to
the plaintiff, together with interest on that amount
from the date of the decree.
Under the instruction of the court, the jury ren
dered a verdiot for plaintiff for $630 36, oeing the
principal, with interest thereon, at the rate of four
per cent. from the date of the decree to the let of
January, 1832 (at which time the defendant drew
the amount from the Pennsylvania Oomoany for
Inenranaes on lives), and with interest at the rate of
six per cent. from January 1, 1862, to date, subject to
the point of law reserved, wnether the fact that
plaintiff resided beyond seas exempted the defend
ant from liability for interest.
Court of Quarter Sessions—Judge Thonsp
Eieorge Free was convicted of the larceny or $6OO,
the property of Owen McCartney, a boatman. It
was in evidence that Free and a companion named
Graham, after drinking at various places with Mc-
Cartney until he became intoxicated, induced him
to accompany them to a home of bad reputation in
Saimaa street, where they robbed him. $360 of the
money was recovered. Free was sentenced to an
imprisonment of eighteen months.
Mary J. Bolen was convicted of arson in setting
fire to the house of Mrs. Coleman, Nineteenth street,
above Arch, where she was employed as a domestic.
She stole some money, and then in order to escape
detection fired the premises. Sentence deferred.
Francis Cavanagh, for larceny, was Sentenced to
an imprisonment of eight months.
William J. Wilson, for larceny, was sentenced to
nine months.
