The Boiler Explosion Isvbstioation Bt
the Corohrr. Last evening the Coroner cora
nienced his tnveslifrailoD Into the causes of tha
it cent boiler explosion in PnnBom street, poind
first to tbe l'emuvlvania Hospital, to receive tho
evidence of the enpineer.
T. W. Jenkins, 8031 Springer street, was worn
lie suited that three days before tbe accident ha
vent to Jhe place, at tha recommendation of Mr.
King, the machinist; he was told that there was
then no opening, but that an manner was wanted
cross tbe way, at Ofr Ward's; there tha
witness went and saw Mr. Geasey, telling; him
that Mr. Kin had cent him there; Mr. Oeasey In
Isted tbat he should go to work tnat afternoon, as
the regular engineer was sick; tbe witness de
clined, when Mr. Geasey repiled that two boys
shonld be at the service of the engineer, and that
' all the wltnets would be required to do wonld be
to attend to " e boiler and engloe: under these cir
cumstances Mr. Jenkins assumed the position, not
expecting to stay longer than tbe return of tbe en.
gmeer, dally looked tor; tha boiler was not in a
very good condition; tha (range cocks would stop
tip once in a while, and their opening would cause
trouble; the lower cock could not be opened at all;
tha witness suggested to Mr. Ueasey that If he re
xnalned there beyond the day of the explosion, tbat
the gauge cocks should be removed at night and
see what was necessary to repair them.
Mr. Ueasey replied that he would see about It;
about twenty minutes of fonr o'clock the packing
rings became loose; the engine was immediately
stopped; the packing rings are tbe piston; Mr.
Ueasey directed tbe witness to go to Mr. King's
ai d get a man to assist, as ha desired to start the
eiiglne as soon as possible; the machinist from tbat
establishment was at once procured; shortly after
wards the machmlstsent for the M King's foreman,
as there waa trouble in getting out the packing
rings; in trying to move the engine back It was ne
cessary to remove the packing from the piston rod
stuffing box; the packing was set and the cylinder
head pnt on; the engineer was directed to pack the
stalling box; tbe witness commenced this opera
tlon, and Mr. Ueasey desiring that a little steam
shonld be pnt on to try how tbe engine would
work, tbe cleaner was aeked to throw a few
ehovelsfnl of shavings into tha furnace: when
the cleaner returned he told the witness tnat the
engine waa not carrying a pound of steam shortly
afterwards be threw in some mora shavings, and
returning said that there was registered one pound
of steam; this tbe witness thought very strange,
and loosing his fingers from the packing, be
wanted to attend to it; in half a minute he started
to look at the engine, when the boiler exploded.
In the first instance the witness stated tbat the
engine was stopped by him personally, lie did
the tiring. There was 45 pounds of steam at the
time tbe engine was stopped. Mr. Ueasey told him
when be first went to the premises that from 50 to
60 pounds could be readily carried, and 45 pounds
were proved by experience to work well, and he
never allowed the steam to rise higher. When tbe
engine waa stopped Mr. Jenkins stopped the
throttle valve. There was no leaking from tbe
throttle valve when tbe engine was fired, but Mr.
Oeasey jumped up and shut off the connection
Talve. This he did to prevent tbe steam from
coming into tbe cylinder, as tbe throttle valve
leaked to such an extent as to prevent tbe men
working in the cylinder. To reach the connection
Talve, Mr. Oeasey stood on tbe boiler; he oould not
have reached It from tbe ground.
The witness did not know that that valve shut
off tbe connection between tbe boiler and tbe
safety valve and the indicator. Mr. Oeasey him
self looked at the safety valve, and therefore the
engineer felt easy under tbe strange circumstance
of the firing of tbe boiler produclngnosteam; Mr.
Oeasey attended to the steam gauge, and therelore
the witness did not examine it until a few minutes
before the explosion, before the tiring commenced,
When he examined it; there was then no pressure
of steam on the gauge; there was a low fire nader
the boilers when the engine wtis stopped; shavings
were then doing duty aa fuel; la the morning coal
waa burned, but in tbe afternoon shavings were
used: when the engine was Btopped, there was
nothing but cinders in the furnace.
- W hen the witness fonnd the steam apparently so
low he thought that the steam had escaped into the
kiln for drawing wood; be did not see Mr. Oeasey
reopen the valve which he stopped off, nor did he
see any one open it; to see whether the valve had
been opened by any one else waa one reason why
be rett off packing: that this was the reason why
the steam did not show upon the indicator the wit.
nessnow believes; at tbe time of the accident it did
not occur to hlm;he supposed that Mr. Ueasey would
have opened tbe connection valve; if it bad bad
anything to do with be severance of the passage of
the steam, that gentleman would have opened it;
had the witness been informed ol the functions of
this valve, he would not have allowed it to have
been closed.
Tbe witness said that he had rnn an engine pre.
viously for two months at Newbern, N. O. By
trade he is a machinist, and served a part of an
apprenticeship under Morris & Sons. Afterward
he worked lor the Thomaa Iron Foundry, in Le
high county, and wtlh Archambault, in this city.
He also has bad charge of locomotives on soutbern
railroads. The witness questioned Mr. Oeasey in
regard to pay, and he said that he paid his present
nnotnaAr ftld ft. WPP If.
Under cross-examination the witness stated that
he knew nothing out of order in the boilers ex
ceptlng the gauge cocks, and half the time he could
not tell whether he had water or not.
This ended the examination at the hospital, and
the jury accordingly adjourned to the office ol the
Coroner. At this place Benjamin Farrell waa
sworn- His story was that a few minutes before
four, on Thursday afternoon, a man came into
King's establishment, saying that at Oeasey
Ward's a man was wanted to help repair the en.
cine. Jno. Beohtel waa sent. Later in the day
word came to the witness that Beohtel desired to
see him. He went over, found a number of men
around the engine, and was told by the engineer
that the packing rings were broken. As a reason
for this, the engineer said that tbe engine thumped
In the lorward part of the cylinder. Bechtel asked
the witness if he thought that the piston rings
were broken. The ends of the rings were alone
Tisible, but examination could not prove that the
rings were broken. Tbat the forward ring was
broken the engineer still contended, and the cross
bead was knocked out, to disconnect it from the
piston head.
The rings were tnen examined and proved to be
ound. The examination was occnlar. After the
rings were examined the cylinder was closed, tbe
tools collected and Bechtel waa sent over to the
ahop. Fifteen minutes before the explosion the
engineer asked a man to see how much steam
was on tbe engine. This was an hour and a half
alter the stoppage of the engine. The man reported
but one pound of steam, and asked the engineer It
shavings should be put on tbe fire. Jenkins said
no, but to throw coal on. Shortly after the witness
left, and five minutes later the boiler exploded.
The engine and boiler rooine were separate.
The boilers were without, the engine within the
building. Within an hour or two of the time of
closing coal was burned in the engine furnace, but
the last hour was run by a fuel of shavings.
Mr. William H. King was then called to the
stand. He stated to the Jnry that the statement
made by Mr. Farrel included all that be oould say
on the subject. He knew nothing about the
boilers at the premises of Ward & Oeasey. On
one occasion was called in to repair the feed pipes;
be declined and referred the proprietors to Taaker
tc Morris. The witness had been told by the pro
crietors that the boilers were two, connected by a
pine with two safety valves. One boiler was nsed
at one time, the other was employed to rest tbe
first. The steam pipe connection oould not be
located by the witness. Whether midway or
above the boilers he could not say.
On all occasions when la the premises he in.
tpected the feed pipe. Here there was a compll.
cation ol pipes, which finally merged in one blow
out. and all fonnd vent through one cock. Be
jond these feed pipes he knew nothing about toe
construction of the engine or boiler.
On the afternoon ot the explosion Mr. Ward
came to see the witness. Mr. Ward complained
that tbe safety valve did not blow off before the
explosion. On all previous occasions the valve
had been a trouble to the premises, its alarm was
so loud and piercing. That the closing of the
Talve which cut off the connection between the
boilers and tbe safety valve was the cause of the
plosion, Mr. Klngdld not doubt. He came to
this conclusion by reasoning upon the subject
alter the explosion, and by studying the remains
of the machinery which, shattered and torn asun
Ser by the explosion, were picked up in the yard
and the surrounding sheets alter the disaster.
Mr. Lyons-Mr. King, what is your opinion as
anexpert, whether in the construction of steam
boilers it was safe to erect two boilers connected
Kap'pe with a stop valve between the safety

telf (topped the engine.
This was before il Inner. Afer dinner Mr. Oea
sey told the witness that a man who came from
Mr. King's was running the engine. Half en hour
alterwsrd the engineer came up stairs to oil the
sbnftlng; and proceeded abont It with precision
and method, and the air of a man who thoroughly
understood bis business. This was Mr. Jenkins
who ran the engine until tbe very hour of the ex.;
plosion.
liurlng the three days that be waa in charge
there was no leakage about any of the valve.
Tbe principal fuel used by the engineer was coal.
Towards evening shavings were used. These
were used on tbe top of the coal fire. How that
fire was made on that eventful afternoon the wit.
nets could not tell, because he was not In tbe
boiler or engine rooms that day. To shut off the
valve which closed the steam passage a man
would be compelled to nee a ladder, as the valve
wss eight feet from the ground.
While tbe repairing was going on at the engine,
Mr. Oeasey and tbe witness met In tbe cellar. In
tbe Ransom street side of the building, the office of
the firm was located. Towards this Mr. Ward
turned, and while going there the boiler exploded.
Mr. Lyons -Do you think Mr. Oeasey would
have closed tbat throttle valve I
Mr. Ward No, sir; be knew too much about
the mill for that. He had been raised in It from
boyhood.
James Moore, of Matthews & Moore, was shown
a plan of tbe construction of tbe boilers, and
slated that he wonld have possibly built such a
set If he were to have personal superintendence of
inem; out in no case would ne Duiidasetinr me
management of any other person. Mr. Moore,
from the remains of the connecting pipe produced,
thought that the throttle valve was shut at the
time of the explosion.
W. B. Levan. another expert in the art of boiler
constrnctlons gave testimony similar to that of
Air. Dioore. (Since tbe explosion the witness saia
be had carefully examined the throttle valve, and
believed that at the time ot the explosion the valve
wss closed. Under no consideration, be stated,
would be construct a boiler similar to that which
exploded.
otner witnesses, principally scientinc men, were
exftmined, but tbe testimony took no dlfferen
bearing, and the inquest waa adjourned.

The resolution providing that the schools of this
district bold a session of four and a half hours a
day, from 8.30 to 13 30, after the 13th Inst., excited
considerable debate.
Mr. Haines, after twenty minutes debate, called
the previous question.
Mr. Carrlgan appealed to Mr. Haines for a mo
ment's statement. He thought tbat every section,
rural or otherwise, ought to have it.
Mr. Haines renewed his motion.
The President ruled the motion out of order, be.
cause the previous question was out of order
while a gentleman waa speaking.
The question was put with the amendment of
the gentleman from the Twenty -sixth district.
Tbe amendment by tbe gentleman from the
Twenty. sixth, providing tbat sections desiring to
hold two sessions could do so if they wished, was
lost.
Mr. Fletcher, of the Fourteenth section, tbonght
that as no provision had been made lor any re.
cees In the resolution, he would make an amend
ment that the session extend from half-past eight
to half-past one, with a half-hour's recess.
The amendment waa put, but Mr. Enwitchter,
of tbe Nineteenth aectlon, moved an amendment

IIammonton Strawberry Yield. Twenty
five thousand quarts of fctrawberries were
shipped to New Xork from Harnmontoa on
Monday and Tueodayevenlngs, over the Delaware
arid Kuritan Bay Eailroad. "The same quantity,
it is estimated, will be shipped in the same
direction every evening tbtB week. On Monday
next tbe picking, it is supposed, will be equal to
60,000 quarts, after which the quantity will
decrease. Tbe height of the strawberry season,
therelore, will be durirjg tbe present week. It
will be remembered that, in addition, to the
above enormous quantities, probably half as
many thousand quarts are sent daily to Phila
delphia. According to the best data, the yield
lor tbe entire season from IIammonton alone
will not fall far short of three-fourths of a mil
lion of quarts.
The gnat Strawberry Exhibition will take
place at IIammonton to-morrow. An excur
sion train will leave Vine street wharr at half
past 1 o'clock A, M., returning at 6 P. M.

Ikterestikg Services Tub Hospital Chapel
Bishop Potter's Memorial House. Yester
day afternoon the it rvices attending the open
ing of the Bishop Potter Memorial House, at
Lchlch avenue and Front street, were held in
the Hospital Chnpel. They were opened by the
singing of the 118th Psalm, after which the
Ante-Communion service, Epistle and Gospel
and A poBtles' Creed were read.
The 75th Hymn having been stine, Bishop
Stevens called upon Mr. William Welsh, his
autnorized representative in toe department or
Womcn:d work in the Hospital, for a statement
Ot the origin, design, and prospects of the Insti
tution. Mr. Wel.'h staled that a circular had been sent
to each Bishop of the American Church in re
ference to the institution, and their replies were
prompt and cordial, coming even from Texas,
California, and Oregon. Bifhop Smith, of
Kentucky, and Bishop Davis, of South Carolina,
pave qualified approvals, whilst all other replies
were most cordial, giving evidence that this
training school ior women is a necessity it the
Church is to become acgresstve. The object of
the Home will be to train women of education
and retinement and earnest piety, who yearn
for a sphere in which they can work for God
ond for tbe afflicted, to labor among the poor
and thoce who neglect spiritual things. At the
conclusion of Mr. Welsh's remarks, Bishop
Stevens made an address, setting forth the bene
fits to be derived from the institution. He was
followed by Rev. Dr. Rudder, of St. Stephen's
Church, and Rev. Dr. Newton, of the Church of
the Epiphany.
The Holy Communion was then cele
brated, atter which prayer was offered, and the
congregation was then dismissed with the bene
diction. A Serious Afvb av anu Pbobable Homicide.
Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock, a shocking
affair occurred on Coates street, near Fifth, in
tbe Twelfth Ward. John Gloeckner, who re
sided in a house In that locality, went home
more or less under the Influence of intoxicating
iinuor. His wife had been working at the wash
tub all day, in order to realize funds to contri
bute to the support of her children. From some
caune or other not clearly demonstrated, her
husband made a most brutal attack upon her.
Her screams of murder and for help attracted
tne attention 01 a citizen tamea t reaerick uitt
mar, residing at No. 13G5 Fraukford road, who
proceeded to her rescue. He released the un
fortunate and badly beaten woman from the
demon husband. The latter became more furl
ous and made an attack upon Mr. Dittmar, who
stood bis ground manfully, and knocked the
CLraged husband down by a well-directed list
blow. Gloeckner then drew a knife and
sheathed its blade in the abdomen ot Mr. Ditt
mar, producing a frightful and, perhaps, mor
tal wound. Officer Lake arrived, and, after a
desperate titort secured uioeckner, and con
ducted him to the office of Alderman Shoemaker,
wbo committed him to prison. Mr. Dittmar
was removed to tbe residence of a neighbor, aud
a surgeon was called in to attend him. It was
thought last eveniner that he could not long
survive the injuries he had received. te

Fair fob tub Benefit of tub Camden Home
fob Friendless Children. Last evening, the
formal openingof a Fair for the benefit of tbe
Camden Home for Friendless Children took
place at Morgan's Hull, Fourth and Market
streets, Camdeu. The doors were thrown open
at halt-past 7 o'clock, and at the hour of the
commencement of the exercises (8 o'clock) the
ball was very nearly filled.
Elijhh Cattell, Esq., President of the Home,
called tbe assembly to order, and nominated
Matthew Newkiik as Chairman. That gentle
man made a few fitting remarks, congratulating
the managers of the Home upon such an auspi
cious opening, aud said It predicted success.
Hon. G. W. N. Custis was then introduced.
He said: We have come to inn ugui ate this fes
tival in bebitlf of the Home for Friendless
Children. Since the Christian dispensation, aud
the dark ages especially, Fairs bave been a
means by which good work has been popular
ized and the greatest good has been done. In
Falie, as lu everything else, we rival the world.
The great Sanhary Fair which whs held dur
ing tbe progress of the war aroused the nation,
as it were, and lmmenee quantities of goods
were coutributed to raise means to alleviate
the Bufferings of our soldiers. The world never
saw anything like It before. la the hope of ac-,
complibhing results similar to those accom
plisbed by the greatest Fairs, and having entire
confidence, in view of the past for the citizens
ot Camden bave nobly sustained this institution
which has sprung up la our mid t an J desiring
not longer to intrude upon you, I will close my
remarks with a pimple Mntemrnt relative to the
coot ol the ItstituUtm Inst year. It was over
(31)00. All tui, y,tth the exception ol $150, was
raifed within the ear.
The Chairman then announeed that, ns the
other speakers were not present, it waa deemed
advsable to adioorn, and "pitch In aud buy."
Tbe formtr was done immediate!?, and during
the eventnir, judging from the glimpses we bad
ol tbe runny boxes, the latter was indulged la to
a large extent.
All sorts of fancy articles are on exhibition
for tale. The principal feature ol the Fair is a
beautilul tea iervice, to he given to the clergy
man receiving the highest number of votes.
At the table 01 Miss Cristie Reed, a large and
handsome Bible is displayed, which is to be
given to the gentleman who is so fortunate as
to have a sufficient number of iriends who will
vote for him.
The openinir last evening was truly encourag

AMUSEMENTS.
Serinadb to Charlks H. J ak vis. Mr. Charles
II. Jarvie, the distinguished pianist, Is about
taking a trip to Europe, accompanied by
Mif hacl U.Cross, and last night he was honored
with a serenade at his residence on West Green
street, by the Gerraania Orchestra, under the
direction of its leader, Mr. Charles H. Schmliz.
The Orchestra discoursed most elegant music
on the occasion, and alter several charming
pieces had been perlormed, the gentlemen were
invited In to partake of a sumptuous banquet
provided by the genial and liberal host.
Mirtb, music, ana tbe Interchange of senti
ment predominated during the discussion of the
etrgant repast, aud at its termination a lareweil
symphony, composed for the occasion, was ad
mirably performed by the Germania. Mr.
Jarvis, in a neat speech, returned thanks for the
honor ihe orchestra had done him, and very
lcelingly took his larewt ll of them.
The affair was kept up till the "wee sma'
hours" in tbe morninir, and all the partici
pants in It were abundantly well pleased with
the brilliant and festive features that sur
rounded It.
New Cbesnut Street Theatre. CeruJrillon
continues very successful here, and seems to be
delightful to all who witness it. The new spec
tacle is got up In really magnificent style, and
Is well worthy of a visit. It is fully equal to the
Llack Crook In many particulars, and deserves
to run throughout the summer season.
Arch Street Theatre LiUle Boy Blue.
Mr. Fox's lew pantomime Is very popular. Tha
tricks and comicalities of the new piece form a
continuous delight for the children, as well as
those of older growth. Tbe scenery is exceed
ingly handsome. On Friday evening, Mr. G.
L. Fox takes a benefit. On Saturday afternoon,
second Little Boy Blue matinee.
Walnut Street Theatre. This establish
ment is crowded every evening with the elite
of our city, to witness the wonderful perform
ance of Mr. Joseph Jefferson in Kip Van
Wmlle. Tboi eople will never tire of Jeff, or
his new play, which is really the best that Bou
cicault ever prepared. Shakespeare's Midsuin
mtr NighVs Bream, will be produced at the
Walnut in grand style next month.
American Theatre. This is the last week of
the Bemon Bance, which has been very success
ful. On Friaay night the great clear beneJU for
the sullererB by the late explosion comes oil",
when we hope to see the American packed with
people. Mr. Pilar! m has arranged a capital en
tertainment, and Mr. Robert Fox is laboring
assiduously to make tbe affair a real benefit to
the unfortunates above mentioned.
The Benefit to Mr. Frank Mordaunt has been
postponed on account of the illness of Mrs.
Mordaunt. Those holding tickets will receive
tbe money paid for them, on application at Mr.
Trumpler's store, Seventn aud Chesnut streets.
This is the Last Week of the great Lubin
Brothers, twin princes of magic, at the Assem
bly Buildings. Those who have not seen these
pleasing magicians should make a note of this.

greatest work, and one that Philadelphia may
be proud of,
PARIS CORRESPONDENCE OF "TUE
I VIENNA LLOYD."
! From the above journal we extract the fol
lowing in reference to the American Pianos at
. the Pans Exposition:
1 "in my last letter I Informed you that tbe
.Tnrv of Examination on Musical Instruments
had completed their arduous labors. aud sub
mitted the result of their examination to the
I Supreme Jury, in tne interim, uowever, me
! 1 nmeriiil Commission has finally decided to in
ert use the number of the great International
Gold Medals from One Hundred to Three Hun
dred, and the Bllver Medals from Three Hundred
to One Thoutand hen the Dopes of many
despairing exhibitors have been suddenly re
vived, anu w ill uououess ue realized.
This result, though perfectly Justified by the
great superiority of the American Instruments,
will doubtless create a profound sensation
throughout, musical Europe. It is certainly
most humiliating, but nevertheless a fact, that
even the most celebrated Plano-forto makers
of Paris, viuuna, iserun ana ieipsio. oniy lane
silver medals, ranking aa seooud-class instru
ments, and are therelore completely outdls
inured bv their two great American rivals.
"The pianos from the United Hlates represent
two entirely different systems of construction,
but all have a full lrume of oast-Iron, which in
vention was patented and first applied as early
bh the year 1835. by Alpheus Babeock. of Phila
delphia, to square Pianos.
"Ibis important change In the views of the
Imperial Commission has placed at the disposal
ol the (supreme Jury on I'lauo-forles ireeOrand
International First Prize tiold Medals lu place
otcne. One of these has been awarded to the
firm of "Kielnwoy & Houh," of New York, one to
the American firm exhibiting from Boston,
classified aecordlnir to merit. Messrs. Steinway
first, and the remaining one to Broad wood, of
LiOuuon.
"With the exception of a full iron frame, the
Grand Pianos from Boston are constructed with
parallel airings on the same plau aa Hie
European Orauds, but are much superior to the
latter in workiuausblp and quantity and
. . . .. . . . WitHsMtt hitL'avi 't.lilmn t .a
quiiuij ui iwuf. , , . t..vj . , w , v.. . .......... ft .
uelracl lrom the nit ritsof other makers, I must
say tnat the Pianos exhibited by Steiuway &
fcous, of New York, have, through tne marvel
lous grandeur of their tone, and the novelty of
tnelr const ruction, excueu uy lur me greatest
wonderment una ouiuiratiou or anue piuno
makeis, musicians, professional artists, and tbe
ut ntral musical puullo who surround the btoln-
wa y lnstrumenlsiu dense crowds from mornlug
lo night.
"Kienhen Heller. Krneer. Alfred Jaell. Rltter,
T.nvlicuae. and nearly ail the leading artists lu
Paris bave performed on these piauou, and
ex tilbit a decided preference for them over any
others lu tbe Exposition. The venerable com
roser Kossiul, who still prides himself not a
little on his piano-playing, recently examined
the bteiuway Pianos, and frankly expressed his
astonishment and delight at their prodigious
sonority yet at the same time exceedingly
musical aud 'slnglus' quality of their tone
w hich enables the pianist to produce at will
avy gradation of light and sliude from the most
delicately whispered phrase lo the grandest or
chestral effects.
"iliefco masterpieces of Ingenuity and me
chanical saill must be seeu and heard to be
appreciated, and their wonder will cease at tbe
announcement that the firm of Bteiuway A
Honsliuve, in the comparatively brief space of
fiitten years, succeeded In building up the
largest Piano manufacturing establishment in
the world.
"America may Just'y feel proud of the:slgnal
and decided victory ach.eved by two of her
exhibilois, exponents of the new and old style
of constructing pianos, for in this branch of art
Industry, in a Kuropeun city, a European jury
baa awarded them the prizes of honor in fair
competition wilh over three hundred European
iitttrumtntt.
