The shocking disaster of last Thursday even"
lng Btill clalma a areal share of pubilo attention,
the scene of the exphmlon being dally visited by
large Dumber ol people. Tne workmen prose
cuted their labors In the ruins hII day yester
dny, bulafier i lie recovery of the remain of
'William AcliulT, about half-past 11 o'clock In
the nioruliiK, a tNied In Thk Kvbnino Tulic
OKAi'ii, Uny met with do succchm until about 7
o'clock In the evening. The body ol Mr. Henry
Wolfiom was then recovered. It w.is found
lying upon the face, with two heavy Iron beams
rent inn upon the buck. The lower portlou of
the remains had been reached by the fire, but
the lace was so little Injured that 11 wan eaHlly
recognized. Mr. Wollioin resided on Twenty
third street, between Chesnut and Market, lie
Whs fifty-two years of age, and, as formerly
stated, leaves a wile and four children. This is
tbe nineteenth body which has been recovered
and Identified.
Tbe Coroner and his Jury, yesterday after,
noon at 4 o'clock, visited the scene of the ex
plosion, but were unable to examine the ex
ploded boiler, am tbe debris cannot be removed
until the search for the remains of the victims
lias terminated. The Jury, however, examined
a large piece of Iron wnlcu bad been torn from
the boiler by the foioe of the explosion, and
Which Indicated great strength In the material.
A portion of ti e pipe leading to tbe sieain
gunge, the broken stop-valves, etc, are now In
the Coroner's posses-don, and will receive due
attention. The Jury also visited the five-story
bouse at No. IM 8. Eleventh street, which bad
been frhalteied by ph-cea of the boiler. Mo evi
dence was taken yesterday, but this evening,
at balf-pdHt 7 o'clock, the iuquest will com-
iei.ee at the Pennsylvania Hospital, when tue
testimony of the wimmlnl persons still oared
for there will be taken. We learned, this morn
ing, that there was no material change In tue
coi. nit if hi fd auy fine of them.
The work In the ruins was resumed this
morning, but the zeal of the volunteers appear
to nave Hugged at lat, and but five were at
work. Tbey Xv uud a piece of lrou this morn
ing, which Is supposed to have formed a por
tlou of the saiei-vave. If ibis should prove
to be the ca-e, some light may be thrown at
once upon the cauae ol the disaster. Messrs.
Miller it Reader were also on the ground,
superintending the removal of such portions of
their machinery as were notr endered entirely
Worth less.
Mr. Tucker, one of Messrs. Geasey b Ward's
employes, was likewise present, searching
fruitlessly for a walcn wuicb he had in his vest
pocket at the lime of the explosion. He stated
to our reporter that he could notacoouutforhis
escape from the building, lie was standing
ntarMr. Geasey at the tune of the explosion.
(Suddenly the floor rose up, and the next thing
ne reui rubers was finding himself upon a pile
of broken bourus. tie tuiuks he must have
gone through one of I lie windows.
Among the laboiers In therulus this morning
Was a son of Mr. Hamilton, whose remains are
Bllll missing. Mrs. Sbuitian, the wife of another
victim whine body is still burled in the debris,
Was also present. She was in deep distress at
the untimely loss or her husband, aud gave
expression to her grief In loud aud harrowiug
ehrleks.
The back portion of the building fronting on
Bansom street is iu a very dangerous Condi
tion, and should receive tbe Immediate atten
tion of the authorities, i be eastern wall leans
over very much, and Is liable at any moment
to fall. Lives enough have been sacrificed in
1 this unfortunate ail'alr, aud we hope that all
further danger will be removed at once, by the
demolition of everything which remains stand
ing. A strong force ol police are still on the
. ground, to keep all Intruders at a distanoe.

THEORIES or THE EXPLOSION
are quite numerous, but It is Impossible to ar
rive at anything conclusive on this point as
yet. We have received several com.iiunlcatlous
on tbe subject. Tue following, which presents
a very scientific: hypothesis, we present to our
readers:
i the Editor of tht Owning Telegraph; The ex
p'oeiorj ol the boiler In Uvaiey A Ward's mill on
Thursday las', by wutcii so uiauy persona were killed,
la an event which creates a Ipple on ihe aurlace of
society. It no lives had been iusi, or none but the
fireman's and engineers, nothing like a sen sail on
could have beeu realised. It Is, peruana, well that
these allocking tragedies shotilu occasionally occur,
that the scisulitlo minds ol the country may be di
rected both causes wb.cb lurk behlud explosions,
aud widen geoeral y eUde discovery. Tne great body
ol Muvunt will ha e some pet theory to expouud or
to deiend and may accurdiuiy seek -to construe ttie
tacts to their hypothesis. A lew will endeavor to
ascertain the real point In the case, without regard
to "cberisr ea ooii Icilous." and from these trace the
origin or the casualty. Tula number, however, must
prove quite leeule, a id Its voice be scarcely beard,
even by lis anxluua friends. Hence Hie next catas
trophe may repeat Iti-lf uuder the operation of the
aaaie law, aud lu subordination to the sauio force,
ana noue be tne wiBer lor the chastisement.
In tlielaieexp osio there were several facts which
beoauue factors In our problem, vie.:
1 'i uai lrom tbe lime steam was shut oft from the
engine to the moment ot the explosion, there was a
period ot about two hours.
2. '1 hat the pump was not worked aud no water was
Injected Into tue ooiler during tbe interim.
i '1'bal arier the Ores In (he dues bad been renewed
with uiUiisty the alarm gauge Indicated only a
pound ol prendre to tue square Inch, and this upon
examination by tbe engineer blnnelf.
4 That wlUim a lew minutes thereafter, with the Dre
Of 'shavlngN slih glowing and no reported change la
the gauge, the boiler burst.
These are the four laots upon which we must rest
for a solution ol the question. From these data our
conclusions are to be di awn.
Tbrre are tbiee, and only three theories which can
be brought lorward under auy pretense, to account
for ex illusions of this nature Tbe lirst Is, that dan

I'knn Huuakkj. It is b.'fact, well known to the
larger portion of the couimunlly, that some of
the more piomlueul and Important pubilo In
sllluilons of the "Q,uaker i Ity" oncupy build
ings en i g(fti!fiiwfvr r. 8l7.o, Tuns we find
that Ihe AcZ1, . It piclono- s, with Its
varied collecu v r re's curlosliles and
wondersof the f"'v, vorld; with all the
specimens and obJeoiT!. . terest yet brought
to light, and In point of Mimber hardly with
out equal, occupies a building large In Itself,
but tfo email for Its contents. Its Inadequacy
In size prohibits effectually any perfect classifi
cation of the articles conialued, or even that
fair display which should enable a visitor to
learn at a glanco the nature of the object uuder
inspection. This now Is almost au Impossi
bility, tin i ess the visitor proves to be learued In
the inysleries of natural FClence; and one might
roam I ti rough the labyrinth of paths between
tables and cases, aud a ong the narrow galleries
of ihe present Academy, gar.o with revjreuilnl
awcupou Uie bits of minerals, with mystioal
Latin titles, or by assiduity catch a glimpse of
some defunct reptile of hideous aspect from
behind sundry rows of jars of spirits, and bo
thereby filled with wonder at the handiwork of
Nature, but not at all Increased In knowledge,
unless It be In becoming more mystified In
scientific occultness.
Au Academy of Natural Bolences should be
an epitome of the universe, duly classified Into
various departiottots of orders aud species, and
so displajed anu conveniently arranged tuat
observers might not simply be gratified, but
enabled to derive some substantial knowledge
of those things which bear such Importance In
the cosmography of tbe world. Auy who visits
the present Academy will admit tnat this Is an
Uller Impossibility; aud are either simply
pleased, or amazed at the wonderful collections
of skeletons, the array of solemn mummies, tbe
grudulloual display of grlnniug monkeys, the
manllold Jars of snakes, or tue vast and beau
tiful collection of birds.
The Doted JurUin da Plantcs In Paris, with
contents greatly iulerlor in importance., size,
and number to those of our own Academy,
occupies an edifice of five hundred feet In
leugtb, forty feet lu width, and two stories lu
height, built In the flue-t style of architecture,
convenient In Its every department, and having
attached lo it ample grounds for the culture
and display of Its botanical specimens.
The galleries of the Academy of Fine Arts
an Institution on which Philadelphia mayjustly
Hatter Itself would be vastly Improved oould
they be enlarged, and tbe placing of statuary of
works of beauty and grace, aud casts of aucleut
heroes In a dimly lighted basement, or In
si mbre corners, where they are veiled from
public guze by cobwebs and dust, Is ocular
evidence that this Academy, too, needs a more
spacious and convenient edifice.
It is proposed to erect on the slte-of the Penn
Squares large and stalely edifices to contain
the various contents of these Institutions, aud
make them tbe centres of attraction In the
Phlladelphlan community. No legal dlfiloul-
us are in tne way to prevent this movement.
and the proposition Is engaging the serious at-
euuon tit our scientific una pnuaninropio citi
zens. It is suid this movement will be partici
pated in by the Pennsylvania Historical
and Philadelphia Philosophical Hocleiles, and
the Philadelphia Library and Franklin lusil-
ute, in connection witn the two Academies
mentioned. It Is intended, also, that all these
nKtitu Ions shall be more generally popularized
the Academy of Flue Arts included by
throwing open their doors to the pubilo on two
days of the week, requiring, however, tbe
formality of a ticket, which can be procured
free at staled places.
The library win have attached to it spacious
reading rooms, la whlcb all who desire may
nave iree access members, however, being the
only persons allowed to transfer volumes to
their residences. Biiould this uroiect be fully
can led out and there is good reason to believe
mat it win tnen snail we have a circle or popu
lar Institutions ot which thecitv may lusllvbe
proud, and a collection of all that is wonderful
and curious, with beauty and knowledge, of
which a similar Instance will not be found in
this conntry or the world.
Whitsstidh Monday Thb SiEXGBRBUKD
Picisio Yesterdat. Whitsuntide hold lis
rank with Christmas and Faster as one of the
three great festivals ol the Christian year. The
leaiivai is uoiu in commemoration or tne tie
scent of the lioly Ubost on the Apostles, when
-iney weie an wnn one accord in one place,"
after the ascension of onr Lord. This great
event occurred on tbe day of Pentecost, aud
lu celebration is therefore Intimately asso
ciated wnn mat great lestrvai oi mejewisn
Cbmch. In Western Europe, during tbe
middle nges, it was a season of great
ri-Ji lclncs. especially on tue part of kings
aud chieflaius. King Arthur Is said
to have held the most dazellng court of all the
year on mis oay, anu oinor monarens oi less
doubllul character made it an occasion of un
usual festivity. Whltsun-ale was one of Its
most atttracllve features In these right merry
days. The Morris-dance was also a favorite
amusement. Its leading characters being Bobln
Hood and Maid Marian. The ceremonies at
tending it greatly resembled tbe Kobln Hood
games wblcn were formerly celebrated in con
nection witn tne Atay-aay iestivities, wnicn
were recently described at length In The Even-
iku lELtaKAFii. in some parts or jugiauu

nent part In tbe programme.
in mis country mere are to De round dui lew
remnants of these festivities of the olden time.
The German element of our population, how
ever, appear disposed to retain some of tbe
lively customs or tneir ancestors, ana witn
them Whitsuntide Is one of tbe great events of
the year, lesierday being Whitsuntide Mon
day, or, as our Teutonic friends style It, I'uiysL
montaa, the Samgerbund of this city duly ob
served the event by a grand picnic at Hchuyl-
kin f ails ram. we were on me grounds a por
tion of the day, and can say from observation
mat tne immense number of people there pre
sent entered Into the sports and pastimes
wun a determination to enjoy memseivea
to the utmost extent of their capacities. Two
bands of muslo were in attendance, and their
melodious strains seemed lo have a remarkably
enlivening effect upon the feet of the pleasure
seekers. They whirled and twisted themselves
about in a manner that was truly edifying to
the devotees of physical exertion, but shocking
to those wno make tueir devotions in tne
temple of indolence alone. An indefinite
quantity of leyer beer was also disposed of,
witn immense saiisiacuon to mose wno par
took of the loamlng liquid, as well as to tne
great profit of those wlo dispensed the beve
rage, "tsoft drinks," however, held sway
throughout, and all approaches of drunkenness
were held at a creditable distance. The Jolly
Teutons have acquired this art, and it Is one
which their native-uorn neighDors wouiu uo
well to imitate.
West Philadelphia Childbed's Home. The
anniversary of this Mocleiy will take place on
Wednesday evening, June 12, at the Presbyte
rian Church (Dr. J. G. liutler),on Walnutstrect,
westolThlrty-niniu. as i-rouaoiy lew oi our
citizens on ibis side of the Schuylkill are aware
even of the existence of this moJest but most
ut-eful Institution, we would merely explalu
tnat its object Is to provide for Buch homeless
end destitute children as are committed to Us
charge; furnishing them with food, clothing,
elementary instruction, aud the shelter of u
"homo," wheie they are surrounded by a
healthy moral Influence, and trained in habits
of ordi r and industry, until fitted for sltuatious
provided lor them by the mauagors, wnere they
may begin to earn their own livelihood.
The institution has n ivested fuuds, no stated
Income, and depends entirety tor its support
upon the contributions of its lady mauagers
aud their friends. It la at present greutly lu
want of means, and as acollecllou will be taken
ud. il Is hoped a generous response will be made
to their appeal lor aid. The knowledge that
the IU-v. Phillips Brooks and A. A. Wlllitts will
take part in the exercises of the evening, will
doubtless Induce numbers lo avail themselves
of Ihe opportunity of bearing those eloquent

still bleeding; 1 found a wound on Ihe vertex
on Ihe poster! -rot per portion or the skull lint over
the junction ot the parietal bone: that wound was
about one end a half luches long: In front ol this was
another wound mo and a half Inches long: this
wound was bleeding profusely, and it was on the
right side or the medlam line; it might have been
caused by a heavy blunt Instrument: be was evi
dently struck obliquely or the skull would havebeno
crushed: 1 could feel the bone distinctly: there was
no depression of the skull: I think ihe wound might
have been canned by a pitcher: a blackjack I do not
think would oo ll; from the eilecuj of this wound he
died.

Offf.kded Tbutoss Accept tmb Issue. Last
evening a number of young Germaus, male
and female, exhibited at a party last night,
near Harrowgate, all those amiable qualities
and spirits, and ceremonies, which originated
in tne latneriana. xois was a source or laughter
to a dozen young fellows, who guffawed at the
little social, and used Insolent terms. The

go a new millinery enterprise was started at

was mainly confided. Hecenilv tbe latter Dur-
cbased the store at the corner of Kighlli and
Vine street, and now conducts it under the

varied stock of Hats, lionnets, anil H had cm, and

THIRD EDITION
The Trial of Sarralt To-Day,
(Continued from omr Swxmd F IV ton.)
Mf. Merrick said: II thli mo lon preval the pros
mi Ion cannot reslnt a motion for th dlscliarirfl of tne
prlHor er, it Is not material to ibe siifces of the pri
soner that this motion (iliould be opposed, or If the
nimlon previiils tee prisoner Matliuue. ICIiSomo
liat remarkable that this ohjfdlori sliould bv pre
sented lor the first time at thU fate oiy. If the a
xumpt'on of the proserin Ion was eorrect, then, nlnce
the ant of June, lftttf. Jurors have been ilrao Im
properly, and tlie llsis liav always b' en prepared In
the same manner In which this list was prepared. If
this Jury was illeKally selected, then tbe Court has
been dealing very Inconsiderably with the live and
the liberties of the people n' this conntrv since ths
year lroa.the year when his Honor Judue Fisher came
upon the Beneh.
Ons nikn bun been bnnf nndor this system, and
scores: Iibvb been sentenced to the Pmittentlary,
and toe court Is now to be Krnllllpit with tbolntelli
aenne that In all these acts or taking human lifts, the
court was guilty simply or killing a human being,
and in all Incarcerations In Ihe Hentteutlarv It was
gnh'yo'an unlawlul and tiilse Impr sonmsnt.
This view of the esse presents facta for the serious
consideration ol theslaiute.
Mr. Merrlrk Don referred t the statute or June,
l,a. aud argued from It that the ll -glstnrol Wash
Ingtnn, ihe Clerk ot Uenrgnrown, and the Clerk of
Ihe Levy Court were Mvrnlly to act Indepnndantly
In their act son In the selection of Jurors to rniiresent
the territory o the District of which thev were olli
cers. They must select suoh men for Jury duty as
they deem best qualified, and eacb nne or thn officers
Knew nest for nnnseir won were best qualliled for
Jurors in his especial Jurisdiction.
There was nothing In tbe section that required the
doty ol selecting a Jury to be done conjointly by these
officers. The corporal Ions named In tne law are dis
tinct, and the distinct olllcers who bent knew the
character ol the corpoiators are lo select the Jury. It
would be sometiilug remarkable for the oillcer of
War.b1oKtou to select the Juries from Oeoigetown. for
the otbeers of one corporation to select the Juries tor
another corpornlion; hot In drawing the Jurors frmu
the box, all were together, because the Jurors are
selected from all the corporations,
Mr. Merrick continued further his remarks la refer
ence to the selection of Jurors.
Mr. rierrepoul replied, asserting that, notwithstand
ing the false Htories the Ujverument was rea'iy to
proceed with this trial. The prisoner w s arraigned
to answer the charge .of the commission of a
great crime, and he hoped he would be
tiled In a way decent and becoming, with
all the forms and solemnities of law, so that
when a verdict shall be rendered, whether of guilty
or Hcquitial, the whole country will besa'lsrled that
be has been tried fairly and Justly, and defended by
able counsel, and the verdict pronounced by an honest
Jury, In nil respecis according to law,
Mr. Plerrepnnt argued that tbe Jurors now pro
posed to be set aside were not selected In the way
the law required, and aot a single requisite had been
complied with.
Mr. Bradley argued against the motion.
Judge Fisher said be would give his opinion
to-morrow morning.
The Court then adjourned.

SPBClAt DESPATCH TO THB ETKWIHO TEf.KfJBArH.
IlAKHisnuito, June ll.The Cost ventlon met
at the House of Representatives, and was called
promptly to order by Senator William A. Wal
lace, Chairman of tbe 8tate Ceutral Committee
He made an eloquent, conservative, and con
stitutional speech, In whloh he said :
Two years since you called me to the head of
your organization. I accepted as a duty that
which I bad not aoutit as an nonor, auu i
bring you now no memories of battle wo i or
of victories gained, but that of forces mar
shalled, of contests Wilfred, of principles 'In
tended. The republic ban Just panned through
a war of algantlo proportion, our poll! lo il f e
bave wielded the physical, financial, and moral
power of the whole. The soil of every b ittle
rteld has been reddened with the blood of mim-
bera of our organization. Healing, with their life
their devotlou to ihe Unlou, yet obloquy, false
hood, and persecution were unsparingly
burled upon us because we naa principles.
andboldly proclaimed' them; and w.ien-
tne niaiorian annii truce wiia impartial
ren tlie events of those years, he will record
hat we were vilified, persecuted, and defeated
because we supported the principles of froa gov
ernment, and defended the great cardinal uoo
Irlnes of tbe Federal Constitution. Peace came.
FosKessed of a vast military aud naval establish
ment, controlling the expenditure of hundreds
of millions annually, wllb au inquisitorial re
venue system numbering Its thousands, anil
permeating every section of toe land, with the
absolute control of every branch of the civil
service, aud tbe powerful aid of organized capi
tal in the bands of men who had reaped wealth.
In tbe bloody harvest Just passed, oar
opponents believed and hoped that ti elr
gruhpof power was to be perpetual, and that
we were dead and buried byood the hope of
resurrection. The events of the past two years
bave undeceived them, and they uow recognize
the fact that the party they hoped was gone
forever is organised, equipped, and ready to
erasp from their unsteady hand the sceptre of
dominion. The basis of our unity, the genu of
our perpetuity. Is the principle of self-preservation.
Our Instincts teach us to be Immortal as
a parly. Individual liberty lathe priories gem
around wblch the Constitution created tbe
casket we love. Governments are made for
men, not men lor governments. Men made tbe
Slates; the .States and men made the Union:
both are essential to us. Tbe Government is
one of limited powers, limited that it may uot
trample upon our rights, limited that It may
enable ns to enjoy Individual liberty. To these
principles we bave ever been true, and so long
as we bave faith in them, courage In their
maintenance and hope for our country, we have
within us tbe elements of success. The past Is
gone; tire great present Is with ns; as praotlcal
men we may mould Its realities to shape tbe
events of the future, aud aid ns In regaining the
highway lo national prosperity. In advauoing
tbe material progress of our great Comm iu
wealth,ln developing; her Immense resources,
in fostering her Industrial Interests, and In
lacing her In tbe vanguard of the family of
late, we shall find a career worthy ol tbe most
exalted ambition. Iu resuming my place in
tbe ranks ol your armies. I may be permitted
to return to you my sincere thanks for the uni
form courtesy aud kindness with which you
have treated me.
After Mr. Wallace had concluded bis re
marks, Mr. A. l. Bollenu, of Pailadelphia,
nominated D. M. Fox, of I'lilludelpina, as tem
porary chairman, which was carried uuanl
monsly. The Convention then nominated the follow
ing Secretaries: Messrs. Benjamin. Korster. J.
C. Brown.;. It. Worrell, John C. llarr.
After the naual preliminaries, Judge Black.
Judge McCalmont, Hon. William Hopkins.
Hon. Charles lu Iloyle were nominated as can
didates for permanent Chairmen. Judges Black
and McCalmont aud Mr. Hopkins made neat
speeches, declining in favor of Mr. Boyle, of
Fayette. .
Several delegates voted in favor of Judge
Black, who again declined, and the nomination
of Mr. Boyle was made unanimous. The Con
vention is full, but there Is no outside pressure;
the delegates, with few exceptions, comprise
some ol the ablest men In the State..
The contest promises to be warmer than was
anticipated. Judge Maynard, of the 8th
Legion, Is a prominent candidal; added to the
names sent you yesterday. Judge Sliarswood,
will undoubtedly be nominated.
