Uoroner Hiuilols imt evpnlnx hl.l Iuh examination Into ttie ro ipnt explosion in the KlevontQ Ward. The evidence tnken wn tlnm: imnlel Hliaw, aworn-i am a driver at the mill whore the explosion occurred; I have workod fclKtiteen years In the employ of the firm; the hollers were always considered mfe; I ate my Winner within rive minutes of the explosion, by Ihe Hide of the boiler that burnt. Charles Iledman, sworn. I have been at the millelght years; I have labored generally; the explosion occurred on the Delaware avenue side; I bare cleaned the boilers and found ncaies nt lenat a quarter or an Inch thick; sometimes the scales were chlsseled; each cleaning would afford a bunhel of scales; at different times I Have fired the boilers; have been there whon the boilers were patched; four years ago the boilers were moved from their place, hauled into the yard, ovorhaulod.repalred and put into a new place; the workmen, when the boilers were repaired, talked foolishly about their un eafeness; I heard the men who repaired the boilers the last time say that the boilers were liable to collapse from the Hues, but the boilers exploded; there was no collapse: It was about month or two since they were last examined J have often fired the boilers; sometimes there were ninety or one hundred pounds of steatn carried; through bad fuel I have found riiflicultv in carrying that quantity of steam; the water wasnotalwuys regular; sometimes the boilers would leak; It would run out or the boiler by crncks; It has run so low thut wo could not mine steam; thon we would draw our fires, and have tlio boilers repaired. 1 lie witness labored nudcr the examination. Mr. Henry Lyons questioned him closely. The witness stated that he knew the difference bn twecn steam and water In the boiler, tint he couldn't tell the difference In color between Btenin and water. The highest point of steam carried was 115 pounds; the boilers were often repaired; some times in a week or two after putchlng the weak part would give may, and it would be taken down and repaired again; the means of supplying- water was by an Injecting puiriD. W. W. ilubbcll, sworn, I am asclentlflc engi neer; was not at the mill of Mr. Patten when tbe boiler burst, but have been there since and examined the fragments. (This witness was Fubpu-nacd by Mr. 1'atten, so the Coroner stated.) He stated that, Judging front the appearance of the fragments, and the manner in which they were fractured, that there must have been overheated steam, and the boilers, from the dry condition of the atmosphere, were surcharged with electricity; this combination produced the explosion; there were cracks In the boilers, but the ruptures were in the mid dle of the boiler, through solid plates of iron; the cracks were caused at the general rupture. Mr. Lyons asked the witness if the fragments were not burned? The wltnesssuid they looked us If they had rested on something corroded. Jle then entered Into dissertation on electricity as an agency of explosion. The electricity, he thought, could be conducted from a boiler by a copper wire extending into the ground. This, he thought, was the science of the new nntl incrustator, which diffuses the electricity through the boiler and prevents the concentra tion of the electrical lluld. Afterwards, on ex amination, lie said that ho had never examined any boilers that had been provided with tho antl-lncrustator. l'rofessor Morton You say that there was no conductor for electricity in this boiler; is not water a conduct or? Answer Yes, sir. l'rofessor Morton Was there not a water pipe In connection with the boiler? Answer There was; but the water-pipo would not gather the electricity. It would require tsome stronger conductor. I saw no evidence of ovor-hcating; there were no surface Indications, no fracture of tiie scales that evinced over-heating; I attribute the rup ture to the combination of circumstances al ready mentioned; the majority of ruptures were through the seams of rivets. Mr. Lyons Did you notice that In drifting for these rivets the holes were not round, but ob long; that the drifting had changed the nature of the iron? Mo, sir; I noticed ruptures through solid pieces of iron. l'rofessor Morton nut always In the line of the seams of rivets, and but for short distances. A rupture started in a line of rivets will run through solid pieces of metal. Mr. Lyons ilow thick were the pieces of inolal you examined? Answer From u quarter of an inch to three- eighths thick. Mr. Lyons The boilers were only a quarter of an inch thick when constructed. Auswer Well, the parts I examined were three-eighths. Mr, Lyons Did you measure the thickness? Answer No; but 1 know the pieces were that thick; the boilers may have been of various thicknesses. Mr. Lyons rerliaps. Gerhard Lleper, sworn. Am book-keeper at the mill; have been there only a short time; know nothing about the boilers, but I ulwuys considered them safe; what gave additional proot to my supposition was the fact that Mr. Patten was thero a great deal, looking alter the gauges; when the explosion occurred he was on his way to the boilers. John M. Craig, sworn. Am general superin tendent; know lue boilurs to have been repaired twice by a workman from 1. 1. Morris A Co.'s; thero was then a difficulty from the Uuo pipe; the workman said, when he got through, that he bad made a belter job than he had expected; when ilrst repaired there was a difficulty with the plates; the mechanic then stated that he t Hough line Biieu whs goon, anu me uoner wouiu last several years yet; when repaired the work man stated that the rivets were affected by the shortness of the Jwater supply; there was one pipe to the three boilers, uud a larger plunger was made for the pipe; the boilers were all used together; there was no way to run one boiler separate: there was but one safety valve; it was large; I think that the last time X looked at the boiler; I went away from the city in December last; the steam guage was not in working order; the engine was four feet stroke and the pump the same stroke; when the boiler was repaired the werkman gave his opinion that some previous scarcity of water had weak cued the rivets; hu Increased tbe supply of the pumps; sometimes the water would be low, and we would slop the engine uud throw off a por tion ol machinery, that tho engine could run light; this has happened once u week, princi pally on Haturdays, James McLiowan, sworn Am engineer; when the boiler exploded I was In the upper part of the mill; I had charge of all the machinery about the place, and was the engineer control ling the engine. Mr. Lyons Are you a machinist? Witness I am a millwright. Mr. Lyons (handing him pencil and paper) Can you give me a rough pluu of the boilers, as they were situated? The witness (making a rude -rawing) The boilers were Hal; directly above them was the roud drum; over it was the steam drum; tne water was supplied atlhe side of themud-drurn; the boilers were there ten years; they had been previously used on a Uoverument Ice boat; don't know who uhl-u them. It is my business to start and stop that en gine; I Btarted It on the day of the explosion; 1 had left the engine about live minutes when it exploded; 1 left the fireman in ehurge; he had been there three months; 1 had been placed in full charge of the engine ten weeks ago; If re pairs were needed It was my place to call atten tion to it; when the boiler was out of order the last time I did so; there were two places which we had had patched, and which were out of order; one was near the furuace and one at the back, near the centre; It was repaired by taking out a piece aud putliug a new piece in; four years ago the boilers were thoroughly over hauled; all that was thought insufficient was cut off and the boilers put iuto repair. Don't know the nature of iron when burned; there was a dial plate on tho steam guage, but ih uhiu'a was not working when the boiler ex- nloded: the steam, in my opinion, was lower the last few days before tho explosion than usual; the safety valve wok open, I think, on llialday; I saw steam coming from it, not on ll f morning of the day of explosion, but within ,wo iIhvi hi-forn it certainly: ou that day 1 iinin't trv Hip uniiire lint mv orders to the tlre- 0 an were atwavs to watcli the water, and if ho i initialling short to coll me. which lie always irtrinniriH was nm-n on that dav. Water being 1 1 all the time; I dou't think I passed tho , auue on that morning: I asked the fireman. and he said he had three gauges, the same as ho started with- I probably tried the gauges tho day before; I think the fireman was a careful man; l uau no previous charge or an engine: i have been inside the boiler; there were scales in dtfiereut places, and au eighth or three-six-leenlhof an inch thick; lu other places there were no scales; don't know where the scales were. Tbe Jury then mired without reuderiDg a verdict. TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY ,22, 18G7. Mr.KTiNO of TitK Fin a ncr Committkr of CiiU.vi'ilA-Tho 1-1 ti mi co t. oni ml ltd! of Counr.Hi met lust evening, In the committee room. Fifth Slid Chesiiut Mr' els. President Totter in the chnlr. After the transaction of some unim portant business, the bill making an appropria tion to the Hoard of Control was called up at rleht o'clock, ot which hour a committee of lady teachers, seven In number, accompanied by 1'resiilentMlilppen, of the Hoard of Control, and Mr. Jtlche, I'rlnclpal of the llinh McMiool, arrived, to consult the members of the commit tee on the subject or an increase or pay. Mr. Hhlppou addressed the committee. Ho said that tho ladles preient were toucher of t lie public schools, and had been appointed to wait upon tho committee and iirue the neces sity or an Increase or their pay. lie hoped that the gentlemen would thoroughly question the Indies upon the subject of an Increase, mi l make t hemselves sati'slled whether or not they wore entitled to more pay. lie Introduced Miss Kereven, of the Fifth School sect ion, who elo quently appealed in behalf of her sister teach ers for an Increase of salary. She said that the object for which they had called upon the committee was well known. Jt was not only to urge thelrclalms for more pay, but to refute the arguments of those opposed to the measure. There Is not a Councilman pre sent who will say that the teachers are well re compensed rr their Inborn. An argument used by tbe opposition Is that we have a number of holidays during the year, especially vacation during the summor months. We were not In strumental In securing holidays for thescholars; on the contrary, the latter were consulted, and for their interest tho holidays were granted. The teachers are required to be at school fifteen minutes before the scholars, and most of them me compelled to remain during dinner hour, and are the last to leave the school hulldines. Their time during the day Is en tirely taken up with the school duties, and In the evening they aro occupied In exuminin papers, preparing questions, ifcc, for the consi deration of Die scholars on the morrow. The mental labor of a school tenchcr is more of a drudgery than physical labor. Homo say that because the teachers aro fe males they are well recompensed. Tnis is a poor argument. No one will question the rlsilit of the rear guard of our army receiving its ra tions as well as those foremost in the ranks. In fact, those who are In the rear have more labor to perform than those at the head. The sick and wounded and those who give out on the march are to be looked after, and this the rear guard attends to. Education Is the brain of the nation, and It should be the duty of our citizens to give their children a good educatiou. . The three hundred dollars that some of our teachers receive is a very poor pittance for their year's labor in teaching the chllilron of our citizens. Another argumont Is, that the posi tion of a school teacher is constantly sought after, and that the applicants are numerous. We do not deny this fact, but how many of them are qualified for the position? If you are willing for an increase, we are confident that a proper equalization of the amount will be made to the teachers by tho Hoard of Control. Mr. Kiche stated that he was present at, the request of the lady teachers, and was in favor of an increase of their pay. lie said that, the Councilmen were aware of the fact that the teachers were poorly paid, but they opposed the measure on the ground Unit the city could not afford to make the increase. He did not think that that was a good reason why llie.y should not. lie properly paid. Mr. Shippen urged the increase of salary, lie said that tiie cost of each pupil to the city, during last year, was ten dollars and a few cents, lie thougut that was a small figure, and he was ; confident that the school system was as complete as could be. There is no reason, said the speaker, that our teachers should not be properly recompensed for their services. There are eight hundred teachers serving the city who are not receiving ono dollar a day for their labor. This is a small pittance and Councils should thoroughly consider the matter. The committee then considered the appropria tion privately, and after a discussion the bill was passed, without any action being taken in in reference to the increase of pay of tho school teachers. , Meeting of thr Guardians of thb Poor. The Muled meeting of the Hoard of Guardians f the Poor took place yesterday afternoon, President Erety in the chair. The House Agent reported tho following census ot the House for the week ending January ll, 1S67: Number in the House, 3-100; sumo time last year, ;tl"il; In crease, 11.

The Out-door Agent reported having collected for support cases 8-i. The Steward reported House receipts at Slllo. Mr. Krety read the annual report of the Asy lum. It sliows that tho average number in the Hospital in IMiti was ittl; average number in the Insane Asylum, 07; average number in the Children's Asylum, 1SS; average number in tho mt Wards, 1:W1; average number in the House, 307!". The cost of these departments per head was: Hospital, Sli'lL'; fnsane Asylum, 2-21; Children's Asylum, SPWt; Out Wards, $1-08. Average cost per week, t2-0"i.
