, , Kxi-i,oioN. 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. Admitted during the past two weeks,
ail; births, 11; deaths, US; discharged, ll:i; eloped;
27; number or persons, granted lodgings, l'i'2;
meals, 3tvl. 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
