The Provost Marshal's Department has been re
organized with a view to greater efficiency, and
new rules been established for the reorganization
and equipment of pioneer parties of tne army
Regulations for the Inspector General s Depart
ment have also been officially promulgated.
Mr. Collins has returned to Washington after
'nearly two years' absence in Russia and,England.
Negotiations for right of way and the construction
of a telegraph across Asiatic Russia,
- Russian
America and British Columbia, se as to connect
Europe with Americajby way of Barring' s Straits,
having been brought to a satisfactory conclusion
under very favorable terms, now await the final
action of Congress.
We understand that Mr. Collins will soon pre
sent the plan to Congress in view.of the co-opera
lion of-our Government.
It certainly devolves upon our Government to
second this great enterprise, and more espeCially
now, since Russia and Great Britain have met the
question in a liberal international spirit, and
cleared it of all questions to right of way, so as
to connect London and St. Petersburg with New
York.
THE SECOND WARD EXPLOSION—TM IN
VESTIGATION BY THE CORONER.
Coroner Tal for commeu ced yesterday afternoon
the inquest on the bodiea,of those who were kill. d
.at the explosion of a boiler on Wednesday morning
at Merrick & Sons' Iron Foundry, Fifth and
Washington avenue.
Tne evidence elicited was as follows:
Mr. J. H. Merrick, sworn—Reside at Roxbo
-7 ough, and am one of the firm. of Merrick 5: Sons;
Mr. B. 11. Bartol is the chief engineer of oar es
tablishment; the exploded boiler was supplied by
five pumps; I was not present at the time the
explosion took place; the boiler had previously
been tested by hydraulic pressure to the extent of
ninety pounds to the square inch; there was a
small leak at the back end, but not more than is
usual in a new boiler; the boiler was intended for
seventy pounds pressure; cannot tell what pressure
was then on it; there was from fifty- aye to sixty
pounds on the day previous; we would have pre
ferred a little more steam to make the engine run
faster; the iron seas three-eighths of an inch thick;
the arches of the boiler were semi -circular, twenty
one inches in the clear; the entire depth of the flues
was about equal to the width of the same: the
water spaces were stayed every seven and a'half
inches square; never saw the new boiler foam; tee
iron for boilers is tested sheet by sheet, sepa
rately they are th-n worked, and those that are
flanged prove themselves when is the lire; the
sheets that are not flanged cannot be so well
proved; we only use the testing machine occa
sionally; the works are now so driven that
exceeding haste must be used ; the iron runs now
very different in quality; , the stay iron is the best
that can be made, and is carefully tested previous
to use; we never doubted the strength of the boiler;
but for thefact that it leaked we should never have
hesitated to force it up to the extent of its capacity;
we built the new boiler, not for sale, but for our
own use ; we considered the old boiler as much
worn, and therefore built the new one to take its
place; the new - boiler was a precautionary measure;
the engineer running the engine at the time of the
explosion was named Daniel McLaughlin; the en
gineer,Henry Nichols. I'l t Rs last week; McLaugh
lin was a water tender and assistant for a
year back; he took Nichols's place when he
lett; I did not kr ow that the regular engineer had
till yeqc-rday morning; McLaughlin had par
timer charge of the boilers; the foreman o• the
machine shop, Mr. Denby, has supervision; he
re .elates the wages of the shop, the engineer in
cluded; McLangb lin' s duty was to tend to the
boiler; the water tender mast never leave the
boiler; the engineer leaves to took after the shaft
ir g; ihe safety valve of the boiler was very high
tip, brit in open vievv of anybody passing; there
were two pres.sure gauges also: the safety valve
bad been used by gauge: it was intended, tile day
befere the explosion, to increase the pressure to
sixty popnds, but it was not done; the valve was
Lau
littingss or 56 pounds by the gauge; I think Mc
ghlin was originally a laborer around our
place. I think he ran an engine for Mr. Young, a
distiller,; on South street recommended by us.
imam Merrick, No. 30 Merrick streo`,
. sworn—Was not in the foundry at the time of the
casualty; one Daniel McLaughlin ran the engine.
at the time; I attend to the commercial departmen t
of the business, hasib nothing to do with the hiring
the bands; the foremen of the shops do this; I
knew that a change of eneineeri had• been - made;
Lan "Ma anghlin has been about the boiler for a
year past as fireman and assistant; the change was
made because the engineer was not 'satisfied with
his wages; I know this only upon information;
.:Mr. Denby, foreman of the shop, regulates the
matter; -I Co ,sidered McLaughlin competent to
ran the engine; he had taken tempararY charge of
the engine before,. its care would naturally revert
John C. Cope, one of the firm, siVorn—Was in
the counting room when the explosion occurred;.
had nothing beyond financial duties; heard that
Nichols left because a larger salary was offered
him elsewhere; I have nothing to do with the
mechanical department.
Hiram Denby, sworn—Live at 506 Washington
avenue; have been twenty years foreman of the
machine shop ; McLaughlin, off and on, has been
there four years; first employed him as a laborer;
he was six months a laborer ; I recommended Mtn
to Mr. Young as an engineer;. sent him to Ger
mantown and to Harley' s sugar house, in
assynnk road, to act as temporary engineer, a
year ago I made him assistant engineer, as
the Government work was very pressing; he ap
peared very competent: he had run the engine alone
for several days at a time ; Nichols left last
Saturday week; he asked for an increase of wages;
he was getting 810 50 a week, and he asked $i a
day; witness told him to be easy, theta general in
crease of wages would be made; don't notify the
firm of any particular request for advance, only
mention it when the demand becomes annoying; -I
placed McLaughlin in charge when Nichols left,
having every confidence in him: Mr. Nichols left
to take another situation; the new boiler was put
in ast week; I asked for it last spring, Mr. Green
field is the foreman of the boiler shop; I take it for
granted that boilers handed to me are ail right, and
I ask no questions; every one to whom I recom•
mended McLaughlin speaks well of him; I
sent him to the Germantown Water Works
as engineer, and he did well there, I
sent him there because I was asked
for an engineer, and he was the best man I had;
there was nothing in the old - boiler that showed
like giving way; I asked for a new one last spring
because the old one had been used long enough;
when McLaughlin acted as engineer I pat another
it as assistant; McLaughlin was killed; I cannot
tell where he - was at the time of the accident; about
quarter past eight o' clock in the morning I saw
the leak, ordered the steam to be transferred into
the old boiler standing beside it; the fires were to
be taken from under the new bailer; saw every
thing ail right; plenty of water in the new boiler
and in the old one; didn't dream of any immediate
danger, or should not have stayed there so long;
the explosion occurred when I got back to the
office; M Laughlin never expressed himself in
competent to do.the work; he said that the work
was too confining; Mr. Nichols had ran the en
gine for ten years he was not a mechanic; no ma
chine shop in Philadelphia employs a regular ma
chinist as an engineer; it isn't necessary; if any
thing breaks there are plenty of men to repair it;
trie water is pumped in at led degrees temperature;
it is heated by the exhaust steam; tin pump is in
perfect order.
Henry Nichols, 418 Carpenter street, sworn—
ave been for eleven years engineer with Messrs.
Merrick Sons; left last Saturday week for ano
her situation; never used the boiler that exploded;
I gave a week's notice to Dave; I asked for more
salary, sad left because it was not paid me; I was
not refused; I had the fullest confidence McLaugh
lin;.l considered him entirely competent to run the
engine; I saw the boiler tested by hydraulic pres
sure; saw it tested to fifty-seven pounds of steam,
and reported it to Mr. Denby as perfectly safet•ran
both boilers then for half a day; considered the
boiler perfectly safe;. told Mr Denby so; lamno w
employed at Lovering' s sugar refinery; I was get
ting Sle 50 per week; I asked gilt; I was not re.
fused; Mr. Danby stud that we would all be in
creased shortly; left on the best of terms, with a
recommendation from the firm.
Mr. B. A. Bartol,lives at 721 South Tenth Street,
sworn—ls General Superintendent of the works,
knew McLaughlin; considered him competent and
faithful; he was in charge a good portion of the
time; he never left the boiler while Nichols's du
ties called him - elsewhere; went through into the
pattern shop, and was greasing some of the ma
chinery when the explosion tookplace; the smoke
stack fell upon the roof above me; the boiler was
gotten up under my supervision: it was believed
to he perfect in all respects.
Three or font' other witnesses. employed in the
foundry, were examined as to the competency of
McLaughlin. All testified to his entire ability to
fill the position assigned to him;
The inquest was then adjourned until Tuesday
next.

plew.ure, the invitation politely extended to me by
yourselves and other gentlemen of Philadelphia to

„ Yours sincerely. EMILY SHAW.
Miss Shaw's Readings Wive been the subject of
high encoadums, as will be perceived by the fol
lowing Testimonials from those most qualified to
judge, viz: .
From Dr. Oliver Wecdell Holmes, Boston.
Bliss Shaw has much grace and dignity, a very
sweet, sympathetic voice, a fine enunciation, and,
to my ear, au almost faultless pronunciation. I
found so little to criticise, that I feared I must be
wanti'g in the eye which detects faults.
From Rev. Sno. Weiss, Watertown.
Miss Shaw possesses power enough for imitating
the popular exaggerations of some famous readers,
but too much sense and simplicity to give it that
direction. She is inspired with the desire to re
main natural in tone, gesture, and expression,
while she preserves every dramatic or tender ele
ment of the author. There is no lack of energy
and passion which Shilitspeare or Browning re
quires; but the feeling of the page is delicately
shaded, and the true grace of woman clothes the
whole.
Mies Shaw has'been kindly permitted to refer to
the following gentlemen :
