"ot relative to the lule fatal boiler explo ' 'u intf 'treet, near Wharton, by which . . !re 'fitfully Injured. The testimony Tvn to thin pflcct: Joseph Martin, oue of the proprietors of tho loundry, who testifln.l with willingness to all that he knew, said that be per'oiially tilled tho boiler on the day of the explosion, an hour be fore fire was kindled bcuea.h It; the plans indl cutor showed an ample supply of water; Mr. t'lbKon, who was kttieJ, aked for help to nil the cupola; we alwajs put something on the safety valve to keep it Irora leaking; a pas box, Weighing six or seven poun i,vas.iu theafety valve in addition to the usual weisrht; It usually carried seventy-five pounds, sometimes as much as one hundred and ten pounds; no weight was used until steam was being made, and then the safety-valve leuked; the custom was, under theso circumstiinrcs, to attach weights to the safety-valve; the witnifs said that there was preat dlfliculty in petting fuifiicicut power from the engine, and vai ions experts had been con sulted; tt was proposed to increase the size of the ptilley, but they didn't know that this would involve the necessity ol having a lurtrer entrine: witness noticed just before the explosion that the water in the gaiii;e-glass sunk three Inches: to thla pluss all tho parties concerned seemed implicitly to have trusted; thn boiler was pur chased second-band, from Wright's machine shop, after it was burned down; the sum of $210 was paid for it; there was no evidence of ob struction in the patipe; hammers have been hunsr upon the lever, probably bix pounds in welirht. The witness could not Fay that he had per sonally bung suc h weight upon the valve bar, but he knew that it was done; the original weleht upon the falct.y-valve is 15 pounds; the valve never Ptttck; it was about three-quarters ot an hour af'.sr the tire was under headway that the collapse took place; a weight of ten pounds has been hung upon the valve bar; the charge on the day of the explosion was about 1900 pounds of iron; our. engine was bought from a man named Leerh, who has a little shop back of us; Us cylinder was lour Inches diameter; the pressure of steam at the time of the explo sion was from 70 to 90 pounds: witness asked Gibson three minutes beloro the explosion if everything was right; he tested the bar, and lonnd it, as he believed, to be entirely safe. Chailes Klein, another ot the arm, did not see the boiler until atter the explosion; he was a moulder; he heard the sound of a leak in the safety-valve just before the explosion; the boiler was too smull, and was worked only when a powerful head of steam wa9 on; witness always thought the engine too small, but others thought not; a professional engineer had been employed here occasionally, and lie said nothing about the inadequacy ot the machine: John Lockhartls the name of the engineer; he run the engines at, Wood's shop, on Wood street, for a long period: could he have been found, witness said he would have brought him to-night; the witness confided in the judgment of his partners concerning the boiler, and personally knew very little about it; whether there was any crown-sheet to the boiler or not the witness could not say; its Interior he had never seen; Mr. Wright's engineer ran it for one day after we bought it; the dead man, Mr. Gibson, was foreman of Wood's loundry, and felt competent to run the engine; he assumed principal chargeof the engine; he had no special charge there ot the engine. Mr. Wright, No. 924 Bouth Fifth street, from whom the boiler was purchased, testified that he had in part built the boiler; It was made last December; there were, two diagonal stays in the crown, and two other stays of angle iron; the inside was of the best flange iron; the upper and lower 6-16; the two rims on the flues j. When this witness used the boiler he bad very bud water, supplied trom a spring in the cellar; the Duality of the iron was No. 4, C. No. 1, Bayley's puddled) iron; the witness told the purchasers that the lault with the boiler was that it made steam too fast; it would jump from ten to ninety pounds in a few minutes ; it was not near large enough for the purposes for which the parties bought it. Talking with Mr. Martin afterwards, toe Baid that to run a large heat they had to start with 125 pounds of steam, and afterwards it would run down to 30 pounds. Witness told Mr. Martin that some day they would all be blown to , but they seemed to disregard it. The witness was not aware that they were over loading the safety-valve. It was one of Belfleld's. far better and more reliable than any other. The gauge was Ashcrolt's, the best known. The boiler, when new, was tested by two hundred fiouncis expansive pressure a test made by fili ng the boiler with cold water and heating it iu that condition. The engine employed by these parties was altogether loo small; with a heavy tire, the water in the gauge would form; it would gene ' rate 90 pounds of steam in ten minutes, with the . fire on; the witness never saw a boiler that so rapidly cot up steam; the original weight on the safety-valve is sold to them with the boiler; the gas box, in addition, and a coal hammer, nune to it in addition, would make a pressure of 180 pounds; fifty pounds would be an excess; there is no propriety iu making more; the cause of the explosion, in the opinion of this witness, was that the boiler was red hot; the crown sheet had no scale upon it, which the witness deemed additioual confirmation of his theory that the boiler exploded in consequence of being red hot. Charles Parry, engineer for Mr. Wright, the eeller of the boiler, testified that, being sent down by his employer, he lit fire under the boiler, and raised sixty poundB of steam in forty minutes; in an hour and a quarter the heat (melting of iron) was run off; the engine ran .gtiffly, making ninety-two revolutions; the stroke of the piston is about twelve inches; the driving pully was too small; oue of two feet in diameter would have been sate; the witness would have undertaken lor five years to have run the entire afl air in safety with this provision; the eneine was too small; the boiler always required a great deal of watching when we ran it, because the water that we used was very bad. H. W. Evans testified concerning the making of the Belfleld Bafety-valve. He is engaged in their manufacture, and described its structure. Their test is the Dump: the levers are made to endure a pressure of one hundred pounds; the weight of the P is seventeen pounds; additional weights, of course, greatly Increase the pressure; in tebttng the valves our firm use a gauge of our own construction; never heard of a valve of this manufacture stick in e. Ed. H. Graefenburg. a practical boiler maker, formerly with M. W. Baldwin & Co., examined the boiler after the explosion; the Iron in the boiler eenerally was of excellent quality; it ought to carry one hundred pounds pressure, but no more: the boiler had been hot at some time: the head of the furnace had been heated at some time or other; it wouldn't be sate to depend upon the water-gauge for an indication of the pressure; the seam arounl the crown of ' the furnace was open, but not strained; it must have been heated at some time or other to red heat; in the hands ot inexperienced men, said the witness, such a boiler was extremely unsafe; the witness was satisfied, notwithstanding the r test of the water-gauze, that the explosion was the result oi superheating, and an insufficiency of water la the boiler; at the time of the explo sion there was probably no water whatever on the crown sheet of the boiler. A bricklayer testified that he had walled In the boiler vlth brink; that he made a brick jacket niuuuu ii, iu uiult mm it rmgnt the oeuer re tain the heat. Then a Mr. Levan. another nrtlenl holler maker, deposed as his opinion that the boiler in (mention had been overheated. u.nA that ih at. plosion was the result of the overheating of its crown sheet. If inxpeeted by any competent person in authority, the boiler would have been condemned, unless there was a limit to the pres sure upon it. The opinion of this witness was that the boner expiouea rrom overwork the engine was inadequate, also, to the tusk allotted to i. The witness biso oenevea mat the water gauge was ODBiructeu; ue ueueveu in thein evei moid than in gauge cocks; in boiler manag THE DAILY , EVEKING TELEGAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, by thp wltneos he hnd no franco cocks; but It w as rnly in the hsnrU of experienced men that Ibn would bi reliable. The maker of the encino, Mr. Horace L. Ilervey, testified that he sold the engine as au article' of merchandise. It would tako one hun dred pounds pressure to run tho eneine to five horse power. They used it to run the fan, and thin was entirely too much for its capacity. Mr. hevan, who was recalled, said that' to do the work required of the engine to bo six horse power. The Jury will make up the obvious vordlct this evening. Tub Kenomi.nation op Albert It. ScrtoFiKLD Oitosed by the Iemocbat9. Lat night a meet ing of Dtmocratic citizens of the Fifteenth Legislative District, opposed to the renornina tion of Albert li. Schoticld to tho Legislature, was held at the northwest comer of Warnock Mreet and Columbia avenue, Twentieth Ward. Mr. Jacob Alburgcr presided, aud John F. Tiigue acted as Secretary. The business of the meeting being stated, the (lltlerent candidates for the Legislature ad dressed the meeting in the order named: Messrs. Thomas S. Davis, William Bennef. E. U. Gunkel, and Jonathan C. Fincher. Mr. James Reynolds read an extract from a fpecch delivered by Mr. Hcholield, at a meeting of the Twentieth Ward Democratic Association, on Monday nhht, wherein he is alleged to have eaid that "he would carry every precinct in the i'lriiic;, uui mat, even n ne snouiu not be nomi nated, he cotild go to Harrlsburg aud make $5000 per annum by opening and slmulnz his eves three times a day in behalf of certain railroad interests." The sneaker sal I. for such reisons as those Mr. Kchoheld modestly asked tho Demo cratic nomination. lhe ditlerent precincts composing the District were then called in their numerical order, and representatives therefrom signed a written pledge, binding themselves ou their word of honor to work for the nomination of "some honest, intelligent Democrat, and to endeavor to defeat Mr. Sehofield." There was a large attendance at the meeting, and much lively interest was manifested in in pioceedings. Extension op thb Water Works. The new reservoir in West Philadelphia is now under way. It is located at the junction of Belmont and Montgomery avenues, and when completed will hold about 40,000,000 gallons of water. Great care is taken in constructing the tanks. The earth is put on in layers of six inches, each layer being rolled with an immense roller, aud then sprinkled with water, so as to give great solidity to the tank, and prepare it for the inside lining. This reservoir will receive its supply of water ironi me present rweuty-lourtu Waid works, a distance of 12,000 feet. Coming Down The Pricks. In consequence of the laree supply of peaches now brought to our market pi ices are declining, and this favorite fruit, of good quality, was sold at the wholesale market, yesterday, for one dollar per basket, very good peacnes were retailed yes terday In our streets at twelve and fifteen cents the quarter peck, less than has been asked for the same quality in the past two or three years. Housekeepers who desire to can or preserve them should embrace the present opportunity to get a supply. TnB Funeral op Georgk Erett, yesterday afternoon, was attended by the Masonic lodge of which the deceased was a member, the Guaidinns of the Poor, and tne members of the Franklin Institute and the Jefferson Fire In surance Company, with all ot which he was connected. The religious services were con ducted by Eev. J. Howard Suydam, of the Dutch Reformed Church, and Rev. J. Dicker son, of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Head Walter. London Society has an essay on "Dinner in the City,' in which, in the course of a descrip tion of Izant's chop house, the following picture of its head waiter is presented: "He is a great man, that head waiter, and, except that all the attendants at Izant's wear clean white blouses, would remind oue equally of what the head ot a government should be, and of aiural dean. On reflection, the latter resemblance is most lasting in our fancy. He might be a dean, say taking a walk with his gardening coat on; and ho ha a seir-reiiant ana yet pensive air of intoning the bill of fare which, is infinitely impressive. "The way in which he says to each arrival 'Roast beef, boiled pork, bathed mutton, Irish stew, boiled towls, roast goose, Haricot,' is inexpressibly loucmng, ana me lone or ms voice inaicates a repose, a dignified calm in which we trace the presiding influence ot the place atlecting an tnose wno iook 10 mm as an pxamnle.

Dismissals from the Washington Bar. It Is a matter of history that since the organiza tion of the Courts of this District in 1801, but two members of the bar have been expelled from the Courts. In 1822 Mr. Levi S. Burr, a member of the bar, was before the Court com posed of Judges Cranoh, Thurston, and Mor- Bell, on a rule to snow cause way ms name should not be erased from the roll of attorneys for dishonorable conduct, etc., and he was ex pelled from the bar. Hon. Henry May, in the . . , r . i il. i i f : : . t . i f mldSv OI a vriai iu iub oiu vnuuu vuurt, uuiuitj Judges Dunlop and Morrell, about 1850, made use of a remark which was deemed disrespect ful, and he was informed that he could no longer practise in that Court. Mr. May subse quently practised ior a time in me otuer courts of the District, and was one of the counsel in the celebrated Gardiner case, before the Criminal Court, which took place a year or two after, but finally gave up all practice in the District, and removed to Baltimore, and was afterwards in Congress.
