The Catastrophe.
Thk terrible boiler explosion yesterday after
noon, with its an ailing loss of life, full par
ticulars of which we publish to day, forces
publio attention once more to the Important
question of how the use of steam may be
rendered more safe? There are hundreds of
toilers in use in this city, generally in con
nection with establishments where a large
number of persons are employed as operatives,
and where an explosion would be followed by
results as ehockingly destructive to human
life as in the instance now before us. Still
more, there are boilers in use along our most
crowded thoroughfares, which are as pliable
to explode as the one that blew up yesterday.
It Lb but a short time since this subject was
before the authorities, and some measures
were then taken looking ' towards securing a
more thorough and careful supervision of the
Bteam boilers in use in this city. Nothing
definite, however, we believe was done. The
present appalling calamity should quiokeu
publio action upon this vitally important topic.
Every steam boiler used in this city should be
eubjeot to official inspection and supervision.
The character and qualifications of engineers
and others employed in the care of boilers
should be a matter of special care.
In many instances, at present,
incompetent persons have charge of
these terrible engines of detraction, hazard
ing daily the lives of thousands. Many pro
prietors are too penurious to pay sufficient
wages to secure the services of competent en
gineers. All this should be a matter for
official supervision. By a system of rigid
inspection and careful superintendence, the
danger from explosions might be reduced to
tB minimum, and far below what it is now.
But still terrible hazards remain. There are
explosions which occur which seem to defy all
explanation. There seem to be occult pro
perties of steam, which occasionally manifest
themselves in the most extraordinary and in
comprehensible manner, developing forces of
the most terrific character. - It is to the re
proach of soience that we really know so little
about an agent which we have so long and so
extensively used.
Precautions against boiler explosions are
generally directed towards the' matter of care
in their use. This is well; but it is also pro
per to inquire whether mechanical science has
done its best in giving us the safest form of
boilers for the generation of tlie steam. Ex
plosions occur even when the greatest care is
UBed. Boilers may be fatally defective in con
struction, and yet their dangerous character
never reveals itself until some terrible disaster
occurs. The minds of thinking men should
be directed towards the invention, if possible,
t)f some form of boiler which, in itself, should
le incapable of explosion, and which should
be comparatively independent of the negligence
nd ignorance of those having them in charge.
"We cannot discard the use of steam in civi
lized life. We must continue to use it, and to
use it more extensively even at the hourly
hazard of these life-destroying disasters, lie
would therefore be a great publio benefactor
-who should give to us some form of boiler
which, while giving all the practical advan
tages of the use of steam, should at the same
time relieve us from the tremendous risks of
-explosion. We believe that a distinguished
citizen of our city claims to have, at least in a
good measure, succeeded in this matter. Wa
are not competent to judge in the case, but
such events as those of yesterday must cer
tainly turn the public attention with renewed
interest to the entire subject of steam boilers.
It should also Btir up our city authorities to
renewed diligence in exercising a vigilant
supervision over the boilers now in use; and,
what is still more practical, the explosion of
yesterday should be a warning to all engineers
to exercise greater care in the line of their
special duties. No amount of official super
vision can compensate for or guard against the
faithlessness or recklessness of the men who
have the constant care of these machines.
Proprietors, too, should learn the lesson of
greater watchfulness. In this case, not the
operatives alone, but one of the proprietors
himself has met with an awful death.
There is a higher moral, which we al might
lay to heart, that in the midst of life we are
in the presence of death 1 Amid the terrible
forces of nature wluch we evoke to do our bid
ding, we are every moment at their mercy.
He who in health and strength leaves wife and
children in the morning, may be borne back
to Ids home a disfigured and lifeless mass ere
the evening 1 Our hearts should be touched
with commiseration for the families in our
ruidst that have been so suddenly plunged into
the deepest distress, and deeds of generous
tharity suonld do what they can to relieve the
warns oi the widow and the fatherless.
The Trutteei r :i,,j rn.
Wb most sincerely congratulate the majority
of Select Council on, their action yesterday
in postponing the election of three Trustees
lor Guard College, in order that the Repub
lican caucus could have an opportunity to
reconsider the vote by which Mr. Charles E.
Lex was stricken from the list of nominees.
We do not pretend to enter into an examina
tion of the causes which led to the original
mission of Mr. Lex. Every man has an un
iggJj.1LY
doubted right to aspire to any portion, how
ever high, in the municipality, but he has
not the right to displace efficient officers in
older to ftcaommodate his frienda. Be the
cauce what it may, Mr. Lex was not renomi
nated, and another gentleman was put in his
place. When the case came before Councils,'
Colonel Page made a moving appeal in favor
of a postponement, and his motion was carried
by a vote of 19 to 512 Republicans having
voted for the postponement. We suppose
that there can bo little doubt but that the
nomination will be reconsidered, and Mr.
Lex retained in the position he Is so eminently
qualified to fill. He has been for several years
intimately connected with the College, under
stands all its workings, takes a deep interest
in its success, and is exceedingly popular with
the scholars. Qualified by a collegiate educa
tion to superintead the curriculum of the in
stitution, he lias devoted time and ability to
its course of study and its plan of discipline.
He is no politician, and has therefore been
defeated by inconsiderate action; but when
the merits of the case have been laid before
the members of Select Council, we do not
doubt but that they will do justice, not to Mr.
Lex, but to the institution, by reelecting him
to the post he has so long and ably occupied
The Threatened Cholera nnd the ' Cir
cumlocution Ollice."
We have from time to time, for the past two
years, directed publio attention to the neces
pity of purifying the city, in view of the possi
ble arrival of the cholera. After incessant
labor and daily repetition of the danger, both
in season and out of season, the newspapers
of the city secured an appropriation from
Councils to effect the necessary object, and
had a plan adopted which, by its admirable
workings, did much to save our city from
the plague last summer. We take no oredit
to ourselves for the persistency with which
we urged the reform; we did but speak the
sentiments of our readers, and it was their
influence, not ours, which gained an unwill
ing appropriation from Councils. Once
more the summer is upon us, onoe
more the cholera is not unlikely to
visit us, and again we have been calling for an
cleansing of the city. So far we have been
calling in vain. It seems that our worthy oity
fathers think they know more about hygiene
than the doctors who compose the Board of
Health, and have, accordingly, refused to en
trust any funds to them to carry out the object
for which the Board was created. The ques
tion came up yesterday in Common Council,
where a peculiar discussion took place on
some peculiar resolutions introduced by Mr.
Hancock. This extraordinary document we
give entire, hoping our readers can make
something out of it, by discarding all gram
matical construction, and like judges in
equity, seize the spirit of the matter, but
avoid its sentences else a Cretan labyrinth
is spread before us:
Wturrcui, The newspaper ot the city, Board ot
Health, utid Judce ut Hie Bunreme Court, have made
huntlry uncalled-lor unci m-tllclous ailauks on luo
Councils 01 i'liuaueipniii lor not iuukhik an appruun
titlou (o theliourdoi Healili lor Runliury purposes;
and whereos, an appropriation of 117,400 watmaite, to
mid Hoard ofJiratin lor thai purpose to be used dur
ing tins year; and whereas, those Councils are not
censurable for not makiiip said upproprtatum to said
lioard, i s they believe they represent the wishes ot
Die r constituents, end are better able to understand
the wants ot the people, and have no laith in aid
Hoard to expend said money Juulclously: and believ
ing thai the Judge ol the (Supreme Court rel'erre 1 to
hud better attend to his dn'iosas a Judue Instead ot
stoopliiK to berate a body of men, unci interfering la
matters that be knows nothing of. Therefore. 8
Ktu inn 1. The Select and Common Councils ot the
city of Philadelphia do ordain, that the sum of ft'),!)
be and the same is hereby appropriated to pay for the
removal or nuisances, and for the sanitary otlicers
of the city of Philadelphia, in view or the approach or
CltSeciU5nl. That the Supervisors of the different
wards be and tbey are hereby empowered to examine
and ascertain the condition of the streets, houses, etc.,
and report the same to the lieutenants of the differ
ent police districts, who shall report the same to the
Mayor, who shall forthwith proceed to remove the
name, and the expenses lucurred shall be paid out of
the above appropriation.
Bert inn tt. Warrants fur (aid appropriation shall be
drawn by the Mayor, In coniurinity with existing
ordinance.
Now, a more cruel and unjustifiable assault
or series of assaults on Lyndley Murray can
not be conceived than the preamble to these
resolutions. We really do not know whether
$G7,400 was or was not appropriated. In fact,
we know nothing from the wordy preamble
except that Mr. Hancock thinks that it is all
right, provided he introduces the word "said"
before every noun in his composition. If that is
the only requisite, the preamble is a model
document.
In the first place, we oppose these resolutions
in to to. We do not think our Counoils are a
judge as to whether the attacks of all the
newspapers, and Board of Health, and Judge,
are "uncalled for and malicious." The num
ber of these attacks is presumptive evidence
that they are just. It seems to us that the
Council is like the Irishman who said that
the whole regiment was out of step with him.
The attacks enCouncilsare just and called for,
and by the members intermeddling in affairs
which concern them not, such as health and
hygiene, they make themselves ridiculous.
Their only duty is to appropriate the money
called for by the proper officers, and not to sit
in judgment on men who know more of sani
tary wants and general literature than a regi
ment of the Common Council combined. The
Board of Health was created by law for the
special purpose of looking after the sanitary
wants of our city. It is composed of educated
and honest gentleman, and in its hands we feel
that money is mnch more secure than it would
be with any agent selected by a party cauous.
In regard to Mr. Hancoek's insolent remarks
about Judge Read, we esteem them not only
out of place but disgraceful, and the Council
should have vindicated its self-respeot by
tabling at onoe any resolution reflecting on a
high judicial officer of the Commonwealth.
The interest in behalf of the publio security
manifested by a gentieman of such high stand
ing as John M. Bead is exceedingly oommend
able, and we wish we had many more such
public-spirited citizens.
Having thus treated of the preface, let us look
at the plan proposed by Mr. Hancock. $40,000
are to be appropriated for sanitary purposes,
and placed at the disposal of the Mayor. The
EYMlyG .LAqMgrnlL-
Mayor is to be made aware of the condition of
the streets by the Lieutenants of Tolice, who,
in turn, are to be informed by the Supervisors.
The Mayor is to draw a warrant for each sum on
the City Treasurer, who pays the money to the
Lieutenant, who pays it to the Supervisor,
who pays it to somebody else, who probably
pockets the money, and does nothing. Now
all this circumlocution is to be gone through
before a nuisance in the middle of a street can
be removed I A pile of refuse matter cannot
be hauled away until this interminable routine
of red-tape is eonformed with. At the most
rapid speed it will require two weeks to re
move a reported nuisance meanwhile the
pestilence-breeding vapor will be filling the
lungs of our people. This is the plan which
i a Diit,ai-in 4a .1... f... !.. 1. I
o duiiui n.F eiuipio pMttui wntcn was
inaugurated last year by the Board of Health !
It seems like the act of a madman to devise
such a circumlocution office. The yellow fever
importer, Blackburn, could not do anything
more calculated to produce an epidemic. Yet
this silly plan was referred to a special com
mittee often. If this committee is possessed
of any intelligence whatever, it will quash the
whole absurd composition of Mr. Hanoook,
report in favor of the request of the Board of
Health, and entrust the safety of the city to
those best qualified, and whose duty it is, to
see that no contagion comes near our homes.
We would suggest to this committee the pro
priety of asking the City Solicitor whether
they can legally deprive the Board of Health
of their proper functions. .
Subscriptions for the Sufferers by the
Late Explosion.
The feartul tragedy detailed elsewhere, which
landed a score ol human beings into eternity,
has awakened the liveliest sympathy in the
hearts oi our cltizeDB. Not only have many of
the poorest of the residents ot Philadelphia lost
their lived, and many families been bereft of
their dearest relatives, but the ODly means ot
support on which they depended for their dally
bread has been suddenly withdrawn. Not only
is the keen anguish of grief visited unto thorn,
but the sad prospect of starvation is super
added. While liberality cannot give them bacfc
their lost ones, the wealth of our citizens can
at least prevent their Buttering from immediate
want. As no concerted steos have been taken
to solicit a t-ubsuription, and as already several
pcntlemen have requested us to act as the de-po.-itarv
ot money to aid the sutTerer?, we will
inely consert to receive such sums as the gene
rous sj mpathj ot our readers leads tUem to con
tribute, and will pay over to any resulurly
selected and trustworthy aent such moneys as
may be sent tis tor the aid ot those who pre
en.ineut'y call on ourcbarlty. Such contributions
as may be forwarded to us will be duly acknow
ledged through our column. The following

the subscribers to Ibis benevolent fuad, In case the
hostility ol the Attorney-Ueneral of the Common
wealth, and others, should be successful (of whio;i the
Hoard have no fear whatever), they have requested
SAMUEL G. DIEHL, Rsq., Deputy Collector of
National Revenue, a gentleman well known to the
citizens of Philadelphia to takeshargeof allsu'xcrip

tectionot the subscrioers, uutll after the legal question
Is decided by the Supreme Court, on ibe 3d ot July
next, or until after the first disposition of awards Is

There Is a determined effort upon the part of per
sons engaged in UU-yal n& fraudulent lottery schemes
in this city and New York, to spare no efforts and
no fxrx-ne to defeat the noble object for which this
Association was created; aud, at the proper time
the part these persous have played, and are playing
will be exposed to the public. For the present, the
Board of Supervisors desire only to satisfy the
patriotic citizens of Philadelphia that la subscribing
to this enterprise they run no risk of a misappro
priation of their money. They have, therefore, autho
rized Mr, DIEHL to receive and hold, for the benefit
of subscribers, all subscriptions hereafter reoelved in
this city; to be returned to said subscribers should the
enemies of the project prove succeessful la defeating
It, The money, as received by Mr. DIEHL, will be
deposited In the Pennsylvania Company for Insurance
on Lives and Granting Annuities.
It is hoped that under this arrangement a sufficient
number of subscriptions will be received to warrant
a disposition of tbe property of the Association
within a month's time, so that tbe Trustees of the
Fund may be appointed by tbe Governor, and tbe
building commenced on the ground already pur
