One hundred and erne feet of the wharf was couitruoied on pik-a: there were twenty-six rows, sixteen in a row except at the inner and outer end of the uluice Where they were doub'i : the wharf wa built lii a substantial manner, ncr-m-ding to Chief En gineer Knct!-' speciUeations; the enrrent cut " Bimce suu ruroiiau tno piles, cairv in them away; he tbowrlit it was in a safe con dition to receive a hrncv 1 the accident he and his son were sent for to see about a portion of the whavl settline, and an examination was to have been made next dav lie attributed the settling to a leak. ' Frank liu Ajre testified to driving the piles at hard bottom, and to drivinc; them 'well: culled a lew day ago to examine the piles, but the police would not let him see them, notwltli Btundiug that he told tnem who he was and why be wanted to see the piles; it was to his lnicres-t to do bis work well, and he did bo on . tLls occasion. To a Juror I brought all the piles to hard bottom before I stopped driving them; there was twelve or fifteen leet ot mud, and when I started the piles they went eighteen inches at a blow, and towar Is the last thev did not go more than one inch; 1 put ringi on tho piles, and drove mi ui wen. William Donplng deposed that be was mate of tLe barque Czariua, and kue w nothinir of the cause oi the wharf caviair io; a waichaiau spoke ot the necessity ot repairine it, as it had settled on the south side, aud h had to stop discharging cargo, as the supir could not be put where it bad rained; he caw Captain Merryman come along and stop at the place where it set tled; he went ashore to talk with the captain, and belore he reached him he saw tho whtrf nettle and the captain disappear, and hogsheads tumbling everyway; he did not consider the wharf unsale at the time; the watchman said that there was a leak, but whether De meant tne eaith had washed away, or a leak through the platlorm, he did not knew; all the planks that had come up to the surtace were whole aod not broken; he coul.i not tell whether it settled at the sluice or inside of it. Mr. Welsh said the sluice was 18 feet wide, and if that was the case it muct have given way at the piline; the watch man said the sluice was 26 leet, but witness looked at the timber that covered It, and it was , only 25 feet long; he had seen one of the piles thai came up, aud it had a point to it, but the pile was broken; some of tue piles could be teen at low water, and they lpaaed; tho wharf did not settle irom the time the watchiran spoke to him until it fell. Jacob West deposed that he was coopering sugar on the wiarf, and saw the wharf giving way, and started to run, but lell into a hole; the earth scattered over him, and he saw a cask coming down and shoved himself away from it; the cask struck Mr. Porter, who was in the same hole with him, and carried him down; there were about 180 hogsheads on the wharf, ami ho considered the whan sate when ho was work ing tbcre. William 8. Porter testified that he was cooper ing on the whan, when the ground broke along side of bim, aud he ran aud tell down a hole, . when the dirt tell into the sluice; he tried to grab Mr. West's es, when a hogshead lell and broke his shoulder-blade; he never heard that the wharf was weak, or wanted repairing, and he had been working there lor three or four months. 'J o a Juror Never took notice of any Dart of the whan having settled : saw the leak in the corner, and thought one cart load of dirt would have filled it up. Christian Lownsbury deposed that he was one of the contractors that built the wharf. On the day of the accldcct Mr. Welsh wrote him a note, and be went down and saw a place hud settled on the south side, aud concluded tho dirt had washed out irom under the platlorm. lie in tended to examine it the next day, but lelt as 6Kle there as he aid in the room. His opiuion wan that three or four outer rows ot piles had been cut under by the current, which started them from the bottom, and the whole thing went. The current was very strong at the sluice, the tide sptting up and down very bwit'tly. Some eight or tcu piles in the thirty feet water had started from their bottoms, and the dirt washed out. He believed Strickland Kneass gave the plan, and he built the wharf lrom the' plan. He sounded tor the solid pier, ana not co much for the piles, as there was no necessity lor it. The piles were out rather far ther tha'u they should have been, but he cons dered them sale. He had talked to his brother about this. Additional materials had been put in the wharf beyond the plan, and everything was done to strengthen it. The entire length of the wharf, new and old, wos three hundred and sixteen tect. In all wharves there was a leak age perceptible,- and he did not consider the leakage he saw that mornins'Ot any importance. To a Juror The piles were driven down four or rive feet into the bard gravel, which appeared to be the bed of the river; ho thought that when a pier was put outside, it threw the current through the sluice with great force; when the outside piles were driven they only went through about a foot of mud, and they were driven as far as they could be driven; it was no interest to him not to drive them, as he employed Mr. Ajre with a steam pile-driver, t aud he ham mered away at them until told to stop; Mr, Welsh stated there was a little settling of the wharf when he sent for him; there was no bole, but the place had only settled a toot or fifteen inches, and be did not think there was danger, or he would noc have walked about it lor a half hour; the watchman culled his atten tion to a little crack in the wharf, and he told him that came from the senium; the tide would not permit an examination under the wharf at the time he was there, aud the tide would have permitted a boat to go through the el nice next day. Job Archer testified to driving the two outside rows ol which were broken down. The piles were lorty-hve or tllty leet lone, and they were driven as far into the ground as they could be got about five or six feet deep. Tho solid pier outside caused a heavy current to run through the sluice. He i'ult satisfied ihat the piles would ' not settle from any weight placed on them, and had no idea they would be washed away by the water. Some ot the piles jumped up atterthey had been struck five or six blows; but when be was dono driving them they staid there until the contractor cut them oil. Mr. Buisley testified that he helped to build the wbarl, aud he believed the workmanship was as pood as could be done; the pile were clamped, capped, and screw-bolted as strongly as they could be; the pile referred to by tue mate was not a w hole pile, but half a one, where it had broken otl; he bad examined the piles .. now standing, and they appeared to be all good; s.f ne ol the outride piles wire shored in a diree- tion down the liver; about lour or five of the piles gave way; his opinion was that tti.'re w.ts too much stilt-work ihat K too much water, thus requiring the length ot the piles lo be very gnat. To a Juror A ten feet pile would come down as quick as a thirty fe.'t oue if undermined; he believed the piles had been undermined; he could not pull a skirl' through the eluice, but thought he could pull it bguitint any current iu the river. Mr. White testified to the whaif havine been constructed in a good substantial manner; he capped the outer piles, and they appeared tobetiim; he had not seen the wharf since it gave way. Daniel Barnes testiGed that he was working on the wharf at the tune of the disaster, aud never gave the condition of the wharf u thought. He tonk notice of the sinking of the place, be cauee thev could not put musr there becuine of water having got in it. Tfce watchman wished the place had been filled, but did not express any lear ot its ealetv. r. . ThorMW tl'MTlril'rl In K.nurr ,-, h!n cleik ol S. ,fc W. WeKh. lie nn th,. o,h ,rf at lu o'clock, tmd the wat hman, wh i whh un fortunately Crowned, called his atteDtion to a hole tilled with wa.er by tho rain, an I a'ke I if he Rhould fall it up. He s-iid tio.'lie would onm' to ihem at ihe ollire, and lie fnentlond It to Mr. Osgood Welsh, who examined it an l ?aid be did not think it much, but to tunke th'nus s ire Mi. Lownsbiuy bad better be sent for; and a note was written to him. The next day the nolo was no larger, but there whs nmre wa'cr. Ihat alternoon he met Mr. Lownsbury on the nnr, and he said he would examine tiic Muice the next day. Homethtmr called him to the oil.ro, ard lie did not continue ou the wharf. Shortly afterwards he heard the wlinri had gone down. Mr. Kueass, the Chief Engineer aid Surveyor, drew tne plans ot the wharf. The Mems. Welsh looked tor a contractor, and Mr. Ki.ciiRs rrcomnieuc!c.l Messrs. Lownsbury. The l'ort Wardens, with Mr. Kncass, fixed the lines, and the latter superintended the building of the wharf. Tb specifications are drawn that the w harf should be subject to the inspection ami approval of Mr. Kt.eass. It was his belief that the Wardens would not allow a wharf to bo built without a sluice. He did not like to put bis opinion aeainst the Wardens, but he could not relrain lrom saving that he did not believe in sluices. The Messrs. Welsh are very particu lar about details, and great care was exercl-cd that the wharf should be properly constructed, and to this end Mr. Kneads was employed to superintend it. Ho reported the waier in tho hole, becnue of the particularity as to details. None of the turn were present, because they did not desire to intrude themselves upon the jury, not having been subpcnnap.l. It the jury de sired to hear them, they would cheerfully appear belore them. Adjourned to 12 o'clock Tuesday. Rescued from Dkownino by a I'iiilapki, rniAN. An excurionit went into bathe at At lantic City and was soon cartied beyond tho brcakern. Heing a very large man, he floated without diilicul.y, and was supposed by those who saw him to be supported by a llfe-nre-cervcr. In a few moments It became evident thpt tt.e man was perfectly helpless and drown ing. An excited ciowd gathered upon the beach. How to reach the doomed man was the question; no boat could be obtained; a line pro cured became entangled, when suddeuly a gentleman rushed into the breakers, regarJles9 of dancer; wlih steady stroke be swam directly to the drowning man, and, reaching him, found that he was fciuKing. With admirable presence of mind the swimmer turned the almost drowned man's head and body towards the shore, and then depressing his knees below the water, de liberately swam to the bach, pushing the body before him. As the insensible man approached the breaker, his friends formed a line, received his body, and then, by the vigorous application of the usual means, restored hlra to conscious ness. The name of the bold, brave man who thus, at the peril of hi9 own lile, rescued a fellow-being, was Mr. Thomas Taylor, of Philadel phia. Noble deeds deserve honorable notice. and we therefore publish the name of thin gentleman. Firb Zouaves. There Beems to be a fair prospect of the loimation ot a regiment of Fire Zouaves, to be commanded by Colonel D. W. C. Uaxter. One company has been formed, and has drills every week at the City Arsenal. Other companies are In process of formation out ot the different fire companies. The first com pany was organized under the auspices of the Kmplre Hook and Ladder Company, and the uniform adopted is the Zouave pattern jacket ot dark blue cloth, trimmed with gold colored silk braid, with silver belt, buttons in front, and Sanraloons of bright red cloth, wide in the leg, rawn tight at the ankle?.
