Explosion' of the Boiler at the Duke • Street Factory., Throe Milled and Many Inured About six o'clock this morning, while our citizoOs'were at market, they were startled by the dull sound of an explosion, followed by the cry Of fire. One of the boilers of the Cotton Factory, situated on Duke street, at the corner of Lemon, had exploded, level ling with the ground the boiler house and tearing out the side of the mill against which it was built. As we approached the scone of the disaster along Duke street, we found plentiful evidences of it in the bricks and debris liberally scattered over the street. The boiler had been lying in the mill, in a position parallel to Duke street, and had passed out through two brick walls in a direction a littleenst of northerly, taking its flight across Lemon street, through the fence of the Franklin orchard, several yards west of the corner of Duke street, thence through the orchard . and over its Duke street fence, striking the centre of Duke street at a point opposite the Darlington residence, now owned and oc• Copied by I fenry E. Leman, Esti., and thence ricochetting it passed through the fence'on the east sale of Duke, near James street, over the corner of the lot and over its fence, striking the small embankment at the opposite side of James, a yard or two from Duke, and rolling over, finally rested but two feet from the side of the residence of David Shirk, on the corner of these streets, having gone a distance of just about two bemired yards, or us one gentle man pittied. it, '252 patios. The boiler was a very large tubular one weighing three toils and hod scattered many of its tubes or flues along the course of its flight. It had provi dentially taken the only direction which it (timid have taken without doing great damage; passing over vacant lots it did but little injury. Ths concussion with the other holler lying aside of it had probably given it the diagonal direction which it look. The southern end of the boiler had blown out giving way at the rivets, the wealcest, playa :it the end al • it boiler, though the strongest, ivelJelieve, at the side. The engineer, David Ilanteh, in whose capacity the owners of the mill had the gnaw 4 eon thletive, was instantly killed. Ile was a tuiddle-aged mun 11.11 d leaves a \Vit .

This morning belinie going to work, he told his sister that Ire dreamed last night there would be an accident at the mill and expressed his un willingness to go. lie resided near the (ternian Catholic Church, and was also to have been married in a short time. He was a son of Valentine Myers, and twenty-one years or age. rs. Louisa Dunlap, daughter of tier hank Metzgar, residing in; W. ()range street, was sitting 1/II the lap of ;Sarah Dor wart near the partition wall between the engine and MTV° room, and received serious injuries. I ler breast, arms, and legs are badly scalded, and but little hope is of her recovery. Miss Sarah Dorwart, daughter of (4eorge Dorwari, residing at No. 222 North Queen street, was badly scalded about the neck Lice and arms and on both sides front her hips down; the other parts of her body were protected by Mrs. Dunlap, who was on her lap. Howard Weitzel, aged 10 years, son of Casper Weitzel, Janitor of Fulton hall, residing on North Prince, near Lemon street, WIN badly scalded all over his body; and was likewise struck oil the head and body by the falling bricks; little hope is entertained cif his recovery. Annie Wolbert, residing on North Mul berry street. worked in the weave room, and was scalded over her entire body; she is not expected to recover. Louisa Brinkman, residing on E. Chest nut street, jumped through the window of till) \VOLVO room, on the first floor, carrying the sash with her, and cutting herself very badly; all the other hands on this floor followed her through the exit she had Pro vided. George Deitrich, the day watchman, was shuttling near Messrs. Plummer and Sher er and was slightly injured. Miss Nettie Panlick, daughter of Lewis Pau lick, residing MI North Lime street near Chestnut, who was standing at the desk in the weave room, near the engine room, made a very narrow escape; her ears and arms were slightly scalded, and her hair blown full of ashes, while all those around her were seriously injured. Maggie Miller, residing on Mulberry street, was injured, but we have not ascer tained as yet to what extent. Kate 0 undaker was knocked down by he flying material, and butt in the back. Among the spinners and carders, about fifty in number, on the second Per, the greatest consternation prevailed. Tha re port of the explosion, and the cries of the wounded filled them with terror, and they rushed frantically to an open window for escape. Fortunately, the picker room is situated under this window, on tho roof of which the terror stricken girls and boys jumped, and front thence made their escape to the ground. :It is a remarkable fact that no one in this room was injured. 'the residence of J. J. Cochran, Post :Master, on:take street, next to the mill on the south, seems to have been the special target of the missiles. The side wall of the house is literally covered with the marks of the flying bricks, and 11 portion of the end of the boiler passed through it at the top, breaking a good sized hole. The tin roof of the back building was likewise torn off, and the yard tilled with the debris. An energeti cally discharged brick broke a hole through a closed window shutter in an upper story of the residence of Hervey Lightner, Esq. on Duke street. A portion of the tin roof of the engine house is lodged in one of the trees in front of the residence of Newton Lightner Esq., opposite the mill ou Duke street. A large hole was broken by ono of the tubes of the boiler, in the handsome iron fence in front of the residence of Henry E. Leman, Esq. One of the balls of the governor of the engine was found in the house opposite that of Mr. Lomun. In fact all the houses in the neighborhood bear the marks of the scatter ed projectiles. Henry E. Leman, Esq., had arisen and was in his bath-room a short time before the occurrence; his attention was attracted to the mill by the fact twat the whistle did not seem to be in order. It is customary for the whistle to sound at three several times; for the purpose of calling the bands to their work. This morning the whistle would sound sharply but a moment, and would be succeeded by a rushing or flowing sound. Mr. passed out to the back por tico of his reskience, and was looking at the mill at the time the explosion occurred. He saw the roof and material of the mill rising high in the air, very much In the manner in which we are accustomed to see them rise in pictorial representations of each' 'calamities, and immediately after wards•he heard the dull sound of the : ex plosion ; though the huge boiler flew out with such'-rapidity that he did not see it,. notwithstanding• it passed: by his house', striking deeply into the turhpiked stitefin its front. The scene atter the occurrence was of the wildest character, the operatives in the mill screaming and rushing terror stricken in every direction through the streets to their komes. It was truly wonderful that no one was injured while passing along Duke street, by the force of the flying missiles, since the street was unusually thronged by those who wore going to market. We have said that the boiler went as far as the house of Mr. Shirk. It seems that Jacob Hollinger, who drives a milk cart, was standing at the time with his wagon on James street, at Mr. Shirk's house; he saw the boiler coming, and got out of its way, but was knocked down by the fore of the wind it caused, It struck his wagon, taking off the hind wheel, and the horse deeming the neighborhood dangerous, started off with the balance of it, and has not since been heard from. The engine and boiler house is situated between the mill, which is west of it, and the smoke stack, which is east; the latter does not seem to have been affected at all by the explosion, whose force seems to have expended itself upwards, and out wards to the north and south, the mill at the Westward not exhibiting any injury, except in its eastern end. The engine house itself, of course has not one brick left upon another. Of course there are numerous theories as to the cause of this sad catastrophe. The mill was a new one and has always been supposed tohave been fitted up in a first-class manner . ; ' The boilers were manufactured by a maker of established reputation, and we are assured were carefully attended to. Some months since a flaw being discovered in one of them, it was substantially repaired. The engineer had the confidence of his employ ers. We advance no theory of our own as to the cause of this terrible event, because we have none, and if we had we should deem it improper to express it, as the whole matter should and doubtless will receive a thorough and impartial investigation at the hands of Coroner Leonard and his jury. Coroner Leonard, on hearing of the oc currence, surninoned the following jury ; Thomas Thurlow, Robert L. Eicholtz, S. 11. Price, H. H. Lung, John Copeland and John Denninger. The jury at 10 o'clock examined the bodies of the deceased, and then adjourned until 3 P. M. This after noon they took the testimony of William Michael, (he being in a very precarious con dition,) as to the cause of the explosion. -Since the above was 'written Mr. Plum mer, I toward 11. Weitzel, Annie Wolbert and Sarah Dorwart have died, making in all six deaths up to the present time, !lamely : Jeremiah Plummer, Fat dine Myers, David llantch, Howard 11. Weitzei, Annie Wolbert and Sarah Dor. wart. TI•sTIItoNY BEFORE THE CORONER'S JURY The Coroner's Jury met yesterday (Mon day) morning at 10 o'clock. The first wit ness called was John Kobus, affirmed: About 2 weeks ago, as near as I can recollect, I had my last conversation with David Hautch, late ungile •r at the mill ; known him well for st years, he is married to my first cousin; ftlapantly visited him at the mill ; on one occasion the machinery stopped, he said the governororan tight; the stoppage was momentary; I said to hint I wouldn't trust this ; he said then, and also on six or eight. occasions that they would Moque as sure as the world stands ; the reason ho gave was that they hadn't boiler enough ; I asked him why they-worked diese children at night, two or three times a week; he told nie when they built the mill the men calculated as if every piece of iron was gold; the machinery up stairs was not sufficient to spin for the looms below; he frequently said they hadn't boiler enough; I noticed a pressure of MO pounds once, not oftener that 1 recollect; usually SO—once 60, and they couldn't get a pound above; he told me that time lie had difficulty to run the engine for two or three weeks ; complained of boiler leaking; two patches had been put on the boiler that exploded on two oc elisions before Whitsuntide and one about that time ; the day they had but 90 pounds, he blitintsl me boilers for leaking ; this was since Whitsuntide, after the boiler was mended the third time; the last con versation I had with liantch was a few weeks ago, when he told me he wits going to leave because they would'nt get another boiler, and he wasn't going to have his head blown off; I frequently heard the boilers blowing off steam ; never heard Baruch complain that the indicator did not give the pressure correctly; was usually there in the afternoon ; the day they could not get steam up, it was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon ; ho told the fireman to gather wood up for the fire. The Coroner and jury then repaired to the arbitration room at the Court House, and proceeded to take testimony. George Dietrich, affirmed : Was oiling the main shaft a few minutes before the explosion; saw the fireman try the water, and it was up to the, gunge; saw the indi cator on the steam gouge at 85; in four or live minutes came the explosion; was stan.line . ' in the mill at the time; 110 lbs. was the highest pressure I over saw on ; don't know how much the boiler was built to carry ; frequently heard it blow WM the safety-valve, which was set at 05; was blowing off when they had 119 ; the exploded boiler made steam more readily, so the fire man said, and also that it used more water than the other; don't know how he (the lireman,) could tell this; each boiler had its safety-valve; never heard Ilantch ex press fears ; noticed that the whistle didn't sound ; they said it was too full of water; this was of frequent occurrence, and indi cated no danger; never was present when they stopped at (II pounds; was present when stopped for want of steam, and once when governor ran tight ; did not know the cause; our day watchman had nothing to do with the lire on this occasion ; the boil ers didinot leak of any account since Whit suntide ; one patch now takes the place of two previously put on ; safety valves al ways in proper order, examined nearly every day ; noticed no additional weight on safety beam; have been employed since the mill started; am no engineer ; never heard l-luntch express fears at any time; they explained that the governor was gum med up and the strap slipped; tne engine had not started previous to the explosion; they had the injector on before trying the whistle; and when they could not sound it they took the pump off; they had to throw the engine back and forward to run the water out of the pipe; they tried it three times—the fireman twice and Mr, Plum mer once; it whistled at 5; but they could not at half-past. Fredrickrurie, affirmed : Ann not familiar with the mill, never was in it; have been connected with the operations of steam for over twenty years; the cause of this ex plosion is unknown to me; sometimes when two or more boilers arecounected, as these, one takes the water from another, which might have been this case; then the flues would collapse ; sow' the boiler, but did not examine the bottom particularly; could hind no indication that it had burned or wanted water; never knew a frailer to be sent any distance that exploded with water in; it might burst hut would not go bur; one boiler taking the water from the other had frequently occured with us; it occurs when one blows off before the other; it is often very, sudden, particularly when at high pressure; it is unavoidable, these boilers are arranged in the usual, almost universal manner; cannot say what pres sure would be required to propel the boiler to the distance it went, it might be 50, SO or 100 pounds—cannot estimate; I examined the boiler and the flues, but found no indi cation of the cause ; my viewlis that one boiler took the water from the other as I stated, which may have been clone vere quick, almost instantaneous, and nobody could be censured, as it is unavoidable ; the one boiler could not empty the other, but might easily reduce its water down sufficiently to cause danger; think this theory also might account for the difficulty in sounding the whistle [this answer was given after the position of the whistle and the pipes to which it is attached had been explained to him]; do not say there was no water in the boiler, but 'insufficient; noth ing else would cause such an explo sion; in my opinion the thing was un avoidable, and there is Ito means of provid ing against it; the drawing of the water away in the mannerstated would be certain to cause an explosion ; these boilers would have been safe at a pressure of 150 lbs. to the square inch; would have no reliance on the position of the indicator on a steam-gunge found after an explosion; the hand might be thrown forward by the shock, and so remain; could not say this was the case, but it is my view ; the stop page of the governor could have no Injurious effect; the boilers would carry more than 150—probably 170 to 200 pounds would be necessary to explode it; would not advise 150 as a steady pressure, but they would stand it if needed; it would wear out the boiler faster. John Best, affirmed : I built the boilers of the best iron in the market; Mr. Spencer was particular as to its quality, and we did our best on them; I never told any one they were insufficient; if they worked them up to their full capacity it would produce no danger, but would only:keep men close to their work ; I would have felt safe to risk my life with them at 150 lbs. pressure; I put the patches on, and considered them as safe as any part of the boiler ; the patch is not disturbed by the explosion; can form no opinion as to the causes; it may have been fomentation, or one boiler taking the water from the 'other ; Ibtnentatlen brings the water up so that the gums may indicate more water than there is in: the boiler,- this , condition seldom takes place unless Shortly after repairs; the. last , repairing was at, Whittaintide • I examined th e tines; two of. them are colllipsed, one in the boiler near the bottom; •the upper tines' seem better, than the lower ; if the water Was drawn out it must have been very quick,, as , the iron does not appear burnt or its quality de. stroyed ; it is generally taken for granted that when a flue collapses, it is caused by want of water ; cannot say it was so here; the collapse of a flue does not necessarily cause an explosion ; I am not a practical engineer; have been for twenty-odd years making boilers, and have had numerous opportunities of observing their operation; have made it a point to observe the effects of explosions; would be competent to take charge of any set of boilers; this iron was stamped "C. H. No. I;' , ' never had any dispute whatever about the price of repairing; there never was any ob jection made by the mill-owners to making repairs on account of the price; the boilers are as good as any I have built, the material tirst•class ; they ordereplie best and paid the price asked ; there are thirty odd of the same kind working in Lancaster; I have no theory to account for these explosions; there is something in them I am unable to account for; have put in flues of larger di ameter; the space between them does not affect the strength of the boiler; observed the arrangement for feeding water, its ef fectiveness and convenience are so superior to anything I had Been, that the same plan has been followed by us at the Paper Mill; the water is fed at the back end and in the bottom, which is the best plan ; the manner of conveying the steam is calculated to make the boilers work equally; the boilers were built for 30 horse-power, but will stand 35 or 40 if you had the heat; working up to that would produce no result except quicker wearing out and needing closer attention to the firing— no danger would result; the boilers are 16 feet long, 50 inches diameter, with 22 four and a half inch titles; they were set February a year; the iron was full quarter-inch thickness; the boilers are therefore comparatively new—not worn out at all : they were not made by weight, but at a fixed price; they are of the same ca pacity as some of those a. No. 2 mill. Adjourned till 2 o'clock, P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION. 11. B. Sherer, sworn: Was employed at Fulton Mill slime Nov. 15, 1866 ; was in the mill on the morninni ° of the explosion, at the time talking to Mr. Plummer ; was thrown down ; I never beard the engineer express fears that there would be an explosion; at one tune he was carrying 90 ths, and I asked him ifbe did not carry too much, he said no, if the boilers could not stand that they could not stand anything; we run 60 looms, 9 spin ning frames, 1 dresser, 3 warpers and 1 picker, a small willow and 1 grind stone; never heard the engineer say boilers were insufficient, except on one occasion; some days we could'nt get steam enough; sometimes he complained of the stack not giving draft enough; on Thursday before the explosion, he said I am all hooky now, I can give you all the steam you want; average pressure 70 Nis ; from 60 to 80 lbs we carried; there were two separate safety valves, one on each . boiler; never noticed one blowing off before the other; on one oc casion one blew off a little before the other, and then he changed the weights to correct it; the two gauges varied two pounds in their indication of pressure ; the lower door of the mill was used for weaving, warping, dressing, putting Ito cloth and picker house; on the second floor were the carding and spinning rooms; boiler house was on the east end ; tie dues ran Irom the back of the boilers to the stack ; the mill had I,B36spindles ; at the time of the accident Mr. Plumer was standing on the first floor feet front the boiler with a brick wall between, leaning against a bale of goods and I was standing by him ; I felt a hot air and was then on the door about ten feet off, and then 1 heard the crash and felt the brinks felling on me; Plower fell with the bale of goods towards Lemon street, and was wedged in the rubbish up to hrs knees; Miss Metzger was on my left, on the Lemon street nide, about two feet back of nit ; she was thrown on the walk frames; she haul been talking to Miss Dorwart at the time; Miss Wolbert, was standing at the desk and was thrown between the desk and a loom, being wedged in between themj; about 25 feet from the boiler; she walked out of the building herself; Leonard Myers was in the water closet, the entrance to which was in the boiler house; the boiler house wall h•il a , l him ; the boiler house was a separate brick building standing against the wall of the mill; the wall separating the two was 18 inches thick ; this wall fell down into the hmin,building; the boilers lay north and south; the fire box was en their south end; I have no opin ion as to the cause of the accident; I think it was an accident which could not have been prevented; I think so from my confidence in Mr. Hantch; the machinery of the mill ran steady; at 85 pounds of steam there was a vibration; 85 pounds gave rather too great a pressure; the engine ran best at from 70 to 80 pounds pressure ; I am familiar with the operations of mills, been ill since I was 1 . 1 years old ; I worked in the Beaver street mill and in No. 3; I used to examinethe steam gauge at the Ful ton Mill and never saw it higher than 85 pounds; Mr. Plummer, about last Whit suntide, gave orders to carry no more than 70 or 75 pounds, and they did not allow it to exceed that if they knew it. Clara Dietrich, affirmed: Been employed in the Fulton Mill for some time; Mr. Itantch told us he was afraid we would be blown up, before Whitsuntide Monday; I heard him say so only that once; this was before the repairs were made at Whitsun tiae; about a week before .; the governors stopped, and caused the looms to go so fast, and we were scared, and at dinner time he made this remark to us, I can't say whether he was in joke or in earnest. Maria Wiley, aliirmed : Was employed in Fulton Mill; on the Saturday before Whitsunside Monday Mr. Hantch said if they didn't get the boilers fixed we'd all be blown up; this was the only occasion on which he said this to us; he did not say this to scare us; he wns as earnest as he could lie; this was a different time from the one of which the last witness spoke. Mary Tereas Rimer: I was with Miss Dietrich when Mr. Hautch made the remark about our being blown up; I don't know whether he was In earnest when ho said what he (lid; he seemed to me to be in earnest; he said, "you'll be blowed up sometime ;" we were not speaking to him ; the girls were talking at dinner time in his hearing about•the governors, and ho made this remark; the speed sometimes slowed down during working hours. Robt. Vernon: I am night watchman at this mill ; make the fires in the morning; the fires are always drawn at night; made the fire on the morning of the accident at a quarter of 4 o'clock'; the fireman came at a quarter of live; I put the water in in the morning; I carry water to the 3d gauge on starting; I generally put the steam on to SO pounds before I leave; I left earlier than usual on this morning, and had ltd pounds on when I left ; I never heard Hantch or the fireman express any fears of an explosion ; I can't say whether the fires were greater under one boiler than the other; the boil ers did not leak since Whitsuntide; one tire often kindles quicker than another; I never apprehended danger ; I always looked at both gauges belbre I left, they did not vary over two pounds. I heard the fireman on ono occasion say he had put a weight on the safety valve. lam sure the wr ter was up to the 3rd gauge in both boilers. I tested the water during the night. The whistle blowed well at five o'clock. J. K. Snyder: I am an employee of the Fulton mill since Nov. 4th, 1866. I never heard the fireman or engineer express fears of danger, although I often talked to them. I often hear.l them say we ought to have wore 11,iler or more stack to make more steam. I have seen the gauge over a hun dred when the engine was standing beli:re we commenced running in the morning. I ant overseer of the card room ; the en gineer told me the boiler blew otf at 100 ; I think if the engineer had had any fears he would have told me of them; Bantch talked of leaving because he could not keep the steam up, because of the poor draft, and thought outsiders might think it was his fault; I never noticed any great vily•ation in the machinery; the only time we noticed anything extraordinary was when the governor stopped, by reason of its being gummed up ; Mr. Hantch used to joke a good deal with the girls; he used to come into my room and joke with the girls ; used to joke with me; I think he was joking with the girls when he spoke about blow ing up; I picked up one of the gauges on the morning of the accident about 10 min utes after the explosion ; it then indicated nothing. C. E. Wise, affirmed : I got to the scene 10 minutes after the explosion and picked up a steam gauge 18 feet from the boiler house, a piece of pipe was attached to it; it. indicated 115 lbs ; there was a derangement of the hair spring which made it catch on the hand, and in my opinion held it at the point which it indicated immediately before the explosion; there was nothing broke a boutt he gauge; the highest marking on it was 120 lbs ; I don't think the indicator could move backward; I am pretty well acquainted with the working of a steam gauge; I don't think these boilers would blow up at 115 lbs ; I am not an engineer, nor have I ever attended to boilers. Thomas Fairer; I am a boiler maker; work for Mr. Best; I put two soft patches on these boilers at two different times; a soft patch is one that is cemented and bolted on instead of being riveted ; afterwards these patches were taken off and a piece cut out and another patch was riveted on; this patch is still sound ; I have formed the opin ion that there was too great pressure of some kind on these boilers; two of the flues in this boiler had collapsed; this may have been after the explosion ; two weeks ago last Friday, Hantoh said to me, we will all be blown up some of these days, and laugh ed when he said it; I asked why; he said we ought to have other boilers, we have to fire these too hard ; he has made this remark to me a dozen times; nearly every time I came in he said so; he used to laugh al ways, however ; Mr. Plummer has said to me that they had to fire these boilers too hard; he told me they carried from 75 to 90 lbs of steam, and sometimes they carried 100 lbs early in the morning when they started; Plummer said it would be econo my to get another boiler, as tE would take less fuel &a.; I think a pressure of 80 Ms would not throwe boiler as far as this" one was thrown there is a boiler in Columbia fttill,,bt the Same kind as this, which atwayk. carrie'l2o lbs.; I know an esteh i lshMe4 T ;lfiddletOwn, in which there were four boilers, and one of them on one occasion drew, the water from the,othera, John Duumyer, affirmed: lam an em ployee of the- Fulton Mill; I never heard Haat& express any fears of blowing up - there was never any sudden stoppageof the machinery of the mill when I was there. H. Boardthan, affirmed:. It is generally calculated qo have an engine equal to a power of one horse to each loom ; the engine of the Fulton Mill was, sufficiently powerful for the' mill; examined the boilers after the accident; thought the iron was good and could see no defect in them ; the iron was strong and was pot rusted ; I do not think 150 pounds pressure would be dangerous on these boilers; I do not think the indicator an steam gauge after an ex ploSion would indicate the, pressure of steam which had been on the boilers; the gover nors of an engine have nothing to do with the boilers, they only regulate the speed of the engine; I have been acquainted with machinery of this kind the most of my life. T. M. W. Geist, affil.: I have been devo ting a good deal of attention to the subject of explosions for the last two years. Ido not believe that explosions of this character are produced by steam pressure. I do not think boilers can be exploded if there is a proper amount of water in them. I believe that when two or more boilers ate used together that the one boiler under peculiar circumstances will act as a syphon on the other, and would draw out its water, and I think that then a sort of gas is generated in the boiler which has thus been exhausted, which is far more powerful than steam. I saw one of the flues which had fallen out of this exploded boiler in the road, and which was curved, apparently by heat. I thought the flues had been heated by the fire after he water had been drawn out of the boiler. From my knowledge of Mr. Best as a boiler maker, and from what I know of his care in manufacturing them, as well as from what I have seen of these boilers. I do not think this explosion was caused by any de fect or deficiency in them. I formed my opinion as to the flues in the boiler having been heated, more front the shape which the flues had assumed than front the ap pearance of the iron. John Wilhelm, affirmed: I witnessed the scene of this catastrophe ; I have a good deal of knowledge of boilers, and some ex perience in explosions ; been blown up my self on a locomotive engine; two of the flues of the butler were collapsed; I thought from the appearance of the flues that they had been heated ; SO pounds of steam would not take the boiler to where it went; front what I have heard and seen of this matter I believe there was not enough water in this boiler; I believe that the one boiler may have draWn the water from the other; if the fireman had'th,ee gauges of water in the boiler and Sri pounds of steam the boiler would not have blown up ; there Is gener ally a slow boiler and a fast one, and there was probably a difference in these boilers; the slow boiler took the water from the fast one; a steam gunge when the pressure is oil' will fall buck to zero. Alfred Day, affirmed: was present one day when Mr. Spencer applied his indica tor to find what power he was using, three months ago, and it was 62 horse power; I am a brother-in-law of Mr. Plummer ; ho never expressed apprehension of danger from the ladlers, but he thought they ought to bit Vl.' another boiler. 1111=21= Copt rmainsTAny.—The following brief, but complimentary note is ono among the many specimens which we daily receive, adding to our already large list of subscrib ers, and atlbrding us satisfaction and en couragement in the publication of The intelligencer :" MIDDLE BRANCH, July fah, 1807.

It occurred on Market street, in front of Aaron Wilson's saloon, where a large number of negroes had assembled to wit ness the display of fireworks which arrived too late for the 4th. They had entirely blocked up the pavement, rendering it al most impossible for persons to pass. It is said that a young man with his sister at tempted to pass, but were crowded into the gutter, when the young man struck one of the blacks and a general fight ensued, a number of young men pitching into the blacks, being determined to drive them off. Aaron Wilson, jr., a black boy, ran into Anderson's barber shop and seized a razor, which was used by another upon the person of Asbury Perkins, (a young mail in the employ of Johnson & Wilson, carriage manufacturers,) cutting Lis left arm in a dreadful manner, entirely severing the muscle, and also cutting! him on the forehead. Eri Hooker received a gash three inches long on his left arm. Several of the negroes were injured, and finally chased out of town. The fight lasted but a few minutes, but a large number of people were on the streets. Dm Rogers and Kennedy dressed the wounds of Per kins and Hooker and they are doing well. We.have often noticed that the pavement has peen monopolized at the place where this fight occurred by a number of unman nerly blacks, who would not move to let even ladies pass, and have wondered why it has been suffered so long. The proper authorities have failed to see to the matter, and the fracasiof Saturday evening was the consequence. Although we deprecate the spirit of mob law, still such nuisances should not be tolerated. Let us hope the recent demonstration will not be repeated, but that the offenders may act more man nerly,.or the proper officers keep the pave ment from being obstructed.—Oxford Press. A SEASONABLF RECIPE.—As the black berry season is almost at band, we give place to the following item from the Germantown Telegraph for the information of our readers: There is no wine equal to the blackberry when properly made, either in flavor or for medicinal purposes, and all persons who can conveniently do so, should manufacture enough for their own use every year, as it is invaluable in sickness as a tonic, and nothing is a better remedy for bowel dis eases. We, therefore, give the receipt for making it, and having tried it ourselves, we speak advisedly on the subject: "Meas ure your berries and bruise them ; to every gallon adding one quart of boiling water. Let the mixtures stand twenty-four hours, stirring occasionally; then strain off the liquor into a cask, to every gallon adding two pounds of sugar; cork tight, and let it stand till the following October, and you will have wine ready for use, without further straining or boiling. This makes a most excellent and palatable wine." STEPHEN M.

The•mtirder is sur.9nital to have been perpetrated by a man named John Smith and. the wg€l of the deceased. The filets, as we have received them front several correspondents, appear to be thme: On the Fourth of July, Soaith left the neigh borhood in company with, C f rimra's wifelSr Reading• Oa Saturday,last they returned, arriving at Eeinhold's Station int:lie - 8.50F. M. train, and Smith while there was heard to threaten to take Comra'a life. • They left the station for Corara's dwell ing, a tenant house belonging to Jesse Lutz, where Smith demanded the clothes_ of the deceased's wife and he refused to give them up. Smith and . his paramour left, and Comra followed 'a short distance, when it is supposed they killed him. He was found by some of the neighbors, who suspected he would be foully dealt with, about 12 o'clock, with the base of his skull broken in and fractured in several places. He lived about five minutes after he was discovered. The deceased came to the neighborhood last spring, and was an industrious and inoffensive man. The supposed guilty pair left for Reading, where they have been traced, and were (as we are informed) seen taking the train for Philadelphia. Smith is from Westmore land county, and served during the war in the cavalry service. He is about thirty-five years of age, has dark hair and moustache, and is five feet eight inches in height, and the woman is described as having lost an eye . The citizens offer a reward of fifty dollars fur the arrest of the parties. LATER THE REISHOLDSVILLE MURDER—AR REST OF THE SUSPECTED PARTIES.—John Smith anet Mary Ann Elbert, who are charged with murdering Joseph Comra, on Saturday night last, near Rainholdsville, were yesterday brought before Mayor Sanderson, and after an examination in which the subjoined testimony was taken, were committed to answer the charge at the August Court.

MeNoll, Chief of Police of Reading, having been notified of the murder, and that the suspected parties had gone toward Reading, immediately took measures to arrest them and succeeded in finding them about four miles south of that city, at Mt. Penn Furnace. A com mittee of citizens from Reinholdsville have waited on us and have desired us to express publicly to Mr. McEoll the gratitude and thanks of all the residents:in their vicinity , fur his prompt attention to their wishes in this matter; which they think more par ticularly creditable to him, inasmuch as be was not aware at the time, that a reward had been offered by them for theapprehen sion of the guilty parties. They think, and we agree with them, that it would be no more than right fur our County Commis sioner likewise to substantially acknow ledge the efficient service which Mr. McNeil has rendered the cause of justice in this county. Dr. C. Strohm, sworn: I was called for a post mortem examination and made en in cision 011 the left ear of the murdered man ; I found on the left side that he was struck with a stone or something else; the man was full of blood ; the bone behind the ear was broken ; that was the cause of his death; I live about thirty two titles from Lances ter ; I cannot tell who killed him.

IN a lute number Of the Erie Observer, we found the following sensible remarks: The Democrat who wants to be of service to his party and render practical aid in securing the triumph of his principles, dim best succeed !by subscribing for a sound local newspaper. There never was a time more necessary than now to secure a larger circulation for Democratic doctrines. The people want the truth, and the only source from which to derive it in its fairest and most interesting shape, is in the columns of manfully conducted home Union journals. Every family in the country should have the benefit of at least one energetic Democratic newspaper. A distinguished couple in Cleveland, Ohio, quarreled the other day, when the husband converted his property into cash, intending to separate altogether and leave the city the next day.
