About half past seven o'cloek. on Fri.
day evening : 29th ult., as we bad finished

startled by a loud report, cousing the
windows, in all parts of_the.BorouE-h, to

EDITOR
A - messenger soon arrived with the
startling intelligence that the boilers at
Cordelia IN.rntice, situated about two
miles from Columbia, on the It & C.
it. R., hal been blown up.
The excitement was intense,_ and the
road was soon filled : with all manner of
vehieles, - , and persons on foot, wending
their way to the scene of the disaster- •
:We arrived there at eight b'elock,and
such a scene we never before witnessed.
The Furnace was a total wreck, and the
wood-work on fire. Of four boilers, only
one remained whole and that was carried
off about one hundred yards. Two were
bursted completely. The half of one
was carried about five hundred yards in
to a neigl.boring field r a.nd the other was
- lodge(Vagainst a large wagon,
it•completely. The debris was scat
tered in - • - all directions, for hundreds of
yards-areund the Furnace. The houses
iu-the v..Vnity were• shaken, as though'
. by au earthquake, breaking all the win
dows, and many:dishes in the cupboards.•
Children, seated on chairs, were thrown
violently on the floor.
John . ,Ltitz was instantly killed. He
was en g aged in filling, with Shiffer,and
was, blown from that over the Casting
House, strikina h the Bell,carrying it with
!lin'''. He was found in a,ruu, about one
hundred yards off, with:his head and one
arm blown off. He leuves a with and
several children to ruou*liis kiss • ,•
Jeremiah Conklin,
• severely . in
jured..
George Shiffer also severe y • injured.
Daniel Neff was buriect by tbe debris,
but was rescued without. serious injury.
Mrs.J.L.McMichael-was in an outhouse
at the time of the explosion, and it was
shattered bY pieces of holler and sprin
ters, but she, fortunately and almost mi
raculously escaped, without injury. -

the summer and everything put in the

until the water appeared in the upper
gauge,. at about twenty minutes to S o,clk.
the pressure was :ibout 851 b.,turnecl pumps
off, and sat down on chair inengine house
when - explosion took place.
The steam increased with both' pumps
on, never had more than 110 lb. pressure,
and never before this time. Do not know
how I got out of the building.
Am principal Engineer, left the Furnace
itt,O,Kf o'clock, . had SO lb. pressure, :the
Water flush in middle gague, generally
-carried SO lbs. of steam—the safety valves
blow.off, at that pre4Sure. After a high
pressure the safety valves sometimes stick
when coming down, have carried over 100
lb. pressure. The gauge worked right
as fits as I knew. Have round the weight
on a few occasions out - on the end of the
"Safety valve-beam, and !charged the assis
tant Engineer to be more careful as there
was danger. Steam will not increase with
both pumps on, could not raise the press
ure from 85 to 100 lbs. in twenty minutes.
Have been Engineer at the Eurnace for
two years, and employed at it for twelve
years. Cannot tell the cause of the ex
plosion,
.did not trust the boilers as 'they
were old. There was plenty of water in
the boilers when I left. When speaking of
pressure I mean as indicated,by the steam
gauge. Always regulated the boilers so
they would till alike. The boilers were
well supported. After the explosion when
I first saw the pumps they were turned oft
I never used both pumps at the same time.
Mr. Kauffman instructed Inc not to carry
more than 80 lbs. pressure.—The chair in
engine house was not broken nor injured.

Came to the Furnace about 0 o'clock,
was in casting house a little after i o'clock
the boilers exploded ; after things became
ran from the Furnace, found Lutz,
close to a run, ho was lying on his face
much mutilated.
M. A. Brae, • '
--Was formerLy manager at the Furnace
for. nine'.Years,—two m the boilers were in ,
-use about mine-years,- and -one_eighteen
years. When manager I never allowed
more than 70 or SO,lbs. pressure. On Sat
urday two weeks ago happening to be in
the engine room,' observed that. the steam
gauge, indicated 105 lbs. and the safety
valve blowing off very- freely. .This 'lves a
greaterpressuro than I ever allowed to be
carried.—l did not think the pressure safe
at 90 lbs. It;was not' necessary to carry
more than 70 to 80 lbs. ,to . run the engine
and machinery ':etficiently,—considered
boilers sufficiently safe with care,—think
the explosion was caused for want of water
in boilersthe engineer could not increase
pressure with both pumps on. About
lateen months ago the boilers were ex
amined and repaired by a practical boiler
maker, after the repairs were supposed to
be completed, I discovered a very slight
defect in one boiler, but which was hnme-:
diateiy repaired.
B. A. PRICE, Affirmed.—
Am present manager of,Parnace—exam
itted the valves which stopped the water
on and off the pumps,as soon as the debris
was removed, they had not been disturbed
since the explosion,found them all together
with the injector turned off. Do not think
there could have been sufficient water in
the boilers.
MINITCH.A.r.L, Affirmed.— . :
A.in founder at Furnace—examined
pumps, and cocks, with Mr. Kauffman,
and found them. all closed—have known
the boilers to carry 100 lbs. pressure—did
not think Conklin competent to put an en

Jorm DAum, sworn.—
JOHN" BEST, 871102,2.-
Am a boiler maker-was acquainted with
the condition of boilers at COrdelia• Fur
nace—replaced these boilers about fifteen
Months ago, and put in one new in ad
dttion—at the request of Ctil. C. S. Kauff
man, examined all the old' bOilers—their
condition was good, with the exception of
the head of one boiler which I replaced
witha new one. In making 'connections
witEctlie mud drums I had an opportunity
of examining the condition and quality of
iron in old boilers and considered it good.
From my experience as a boiler maker and
knowledge of the power of steam, I am
satisfied that the three exploded boilers
wore good or they would not have made
such havoc. The use of the boilers
during the last fifteen months would not
impair their quality—llli'LC no ri- collection
of Mr. Reid having me to place a patch
upon a detectin one of the ' boilers which
he had discovered—would not like to carry
110 lbs. pressure on any boiler of same
kind. In my opinion the explosion was
caused for the want of water. in boilers.
COL. C. S. KAUFFIIIAN; Affirmed.
Am proprietor of Cordelia Furnace.—
The weight on the levers bearing down the
safety valves is 50 lbs. each. The length
of fulcrum to valve is 4 'inches, and 44
inches from valve, to end of lever, and the
action of lever 71 1155., diametei of valve
31 inches. Therefore making the utmost
pressure which could be on the salhty
valve 79 lbs., there were two safety valves
or this kind. My opinion lithe explosion
was caused by there not being sufficient
water in the boilers.' I believe _Conklin,
was entirely competent to regulate:-the
steam and water—l always -felt satisfied
the steam gauge indicated more pressure
. than actually was contained in the boilers;
and knew that it registered 15 lbs., more
than the safety valve.

ence unable-to contain her feelings. ex
pressed her disgust at the fact that • ."a

those in the lobby, - by giving vent to her
feelings in sundry vehement gestures,and
rediculous expressions.
ld.i.Chase introduced as the • orator of
the evening. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
who extolled the nobility of work, the
right of-a negro to be a co-laborer with a
white man : the negro right to. freedom
of person, and protection of property and
argued at length in favor of negro and
female suffrage, with respect to the
latter he said : "We would never emerge
from barbarism until we cease to make
these odious distinctions between man
and woman. Politics will always be
barbarous until men and women give
their votes together, Woman is the
great civilizer, and when woman stops at
home and man goes abroad the man be
gins to be animal." An old lady sitting
back of us seemed rejoiced that she had
at last found a champion in the great
cause of "womans right's" and expressed
her gratification by exclaiming, "I've
L advocated that doctrine for twenty-five
years."
Hon. Iteverdy Jqhnson argued a
case in the U- S. Supreme Couit, a few
days ago, in which the question of the
constitutionality, of the 'reit 0 all was
involved, the argument was an able one,
and listened to with intense interest.
