:plying to its uses-the proceeds of leases.
Mr, Wilson introduced a bill relating to the pay
-and subsistence of the array, which was referred
to the Committee or Military Aff Lira.
On motion of Mr. Harlan, the bill granting lands

amendments. .
On motion of Mr. CoHamer, the Senate resolved

- Which was referred to the J odiciary Committee.

sembly of an dtrial by courts-martial of capital and
other crimes not arising iu the land and naval forces
of the United States, which was referred to the

C' Reilly for increasing and cheapening telegraphic
correspondence among the American people and
the nations of the old world, which was referred
to the Committee on Commerce.

D. Collins, praying the aid of Congress in the es •
tablishment of overland telegraph communica ion
via Behring' s Sits, sto 'Europe and Asia. Re

The senate then proceeded to the :consideration
of the Naval AI prop i iation bill in Committee of
the Whole.
The amendment appropriating money for the
_purchase of lend to extend the wharves at the
Charlestown Nay, Yard, was adopted.
An amendment vas offered by Mt. D.ll, from
the Naval Cumulittee, and was adopted, providing
that no part of tne approkriation for the Naval
Academy shall be pain to midshipmen unless in
strict conformity with law.
An amendment offered by Mr. Anthony was
adopted, raising the Professor of Ethics. Spanish
and Drawing. in the Naval Academy, to a level
- liv,th the other Professors.
Mr. Grimes offered an amendment returning the
'Naval Academy to Annapolis, Md. , ou or before
the amdemic, year, dornmencing September, ISe5.
Mr. Grimes proceeded in an elaborate speech to
set forth the advantages of Annapolis over New
'', rt. He contended that owing to the want of ac
commodations at the latter place, the t mptations
presented to the cadets were so grrat as to be preja
oicial to good order and discipline, and no one
would be a good officer who had not learned him
self to be commanded.
- Mr: Anthony defended the advantages of New,
port as a Fite for the Academy,, and alter con
siderable debate pro and con, the amendment was
concurred in, yeas, 20; nays. 17; as follows :

Mr. Powell offered an amendment, as an addi
tional section, repealing the bbuntiesgiven to ves
sels engaged - in the cod and other bank fisheries.
Mr. Powell said he would not attach this im
portant measure to this bill were it not for the
that all his efforts to get a direct vote upon it as an
independent proposition had failed
This was due to some hocus pocns, which he did
not Understand, having - tried last session to get his
measure reported by the Committee on Commerce.
lie tried the Finance Committee with no better suc
cess, and be conlcuded to offer it now. He con
tended that his ill success arose from the fact that
a New England interest was at stake, and as she
bad twelve , out of fourteen Senators, and the
Chairman of the Committee, it was easy to per
ceive how the other portions of the country were
being taxed for their benefit.
Mr. Fessenden explained that there was no hocus
pocus In the treatment of the Senator's proposition
in the Finance Committee, and the Senator found
it again in the Commercial Committee, solely be- cause the Finance. Committee thought it belonged
- there, and it was so referred in open Senate. He
Would not attempt to reply to whit the Senator had
heretofore said in derogation of the bravery of New
England citizens. New England was far above
Kentucky in this respect as the heavens were above
tne earth, and her bright record could not be soiled
by anything the Senator might say.
The Senator might make something of this in
Kentucky, but he could not do it here. He (Mr.
Fessenden) would not say a word against -Ken
tucky, ior he made many allowances for she posi
tion in which she had been placed, and lamented
her attachment to the fatal delusion of the justice
of human bondage. Mr. Fessenden then proceeded
to show that previous to the present troubles the
chairmanship of all but four of the Committees
were in the hands of the Southern Deinocratic
leaders. He also oenied that New England was
represented in the Commercial Committee at the
expense of any other sectioa.
Mr. Sherman remarked that while he was in
favor of this amendment, he should probably vote
against it as an amendment to the present bill. He
gave notice that when the Internal Revenue bill
came up he should introduce a carefully-worded
amendment, accomplishing what was desired.
Mr. Chandler would not defend the Committee
on Commerce from the onslaught of the Senator
from Kentucky. He would not condescend to do.
so, and he was proud, as the Chairman of that
Committee, to have the abuse he had received.
He bad voted heretofore for his expulsion as a
friend of traitors.
311 r. Powell wished to understand if the Senator
called hint a friend of traitors now.
Mr. Chandler rose to reply amid cries of order
r. Foster submitted that personalities were out
of order and was sustained by the Chair.
Mr. Powell said tithe Senator said he was now
a friend of traitors his statement was false and
nntrue. [Cries of Order!) The Senator was not
one for whom he had a personal respect.
Mr. Chandler rose to reply, but Mr. Powell re
fused to yield to what he said was of such a char
acter that a man of honor and, a gent'eman could
not reply to it in this chamber. [Sensation.
He put it to the Senator from Maine if the people
of his section had not been assaulted, and the
Senator from Massachusetts had denounced as
barbarians those who had I ttereed with the minor.
ity. In reply to Mr. Fessenden, Mr. Po well said
there was not strengtn enough in his feeble arm to
reach either him or his State, In conclusion he
reiterated that he had a right to speak of the Com
mittee on Commerce in the manner he had.
Mr. Chandler said if there was a man on God's - :
•varth he had ceased to have respect for it was the
gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Powell); since the
rebellion broke out. His own and the Senator's
feelings were, therefore, mutual.
Mr. Powellsaid that nothing more would come
from him here.
Mr. Saulsbury made an appeal to the Senate
that, as sons of common sires and workers, we
:should, in the present unhappy state of affairs in
which the country finds itself, act as became the
dignity of American . :.s.enators.
Mr. Davis said in his votes, heretofore, he had
-opposed the present amendment, but seeing that
t(ew England came up in solid column for the
purpose of prostrating the interests of other sec
tions,- he should change his course and vote for the
-amendment as a measure of retaliation.

The amendment of Mr. Powell was rejected—

HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Spaulding (Ohio) said some men are willing
- to become famous by consenting to become in
:lemons. He had carefully read and considered
the obnoxious speech of the member from Ohio
(Mr. Long), and he found no 'palliative in or
-about it. His colleague commenced his wild
harangue by announcing his intention to express
-the convictions of his judgment. Nothing was
said without premeditation, and yet, at the com
mencement of his singular harangue, he made a
- vile fling at our Chief Magistrate by asserting in
• effect that In the assassination of the President on
-his way to Washington there would have been a
. warmeran greeting than would have been agreeable.
Mg quoted from Mr. Long's speech,
- which he characterized as criminal licentiousness,
and if not restrained would do more to sap the
- foundation of our republic than the armed cohorts
of the rebellion.
His colleague had come to the conclusion that
- the Union is lost, never to be restored;and accord
ing to his ownignage, he - regarded all dreams to
restore the Union as worse than folly, and that
there was no sentiment North or South on which
to build a Union, and, further, that every clause
and letter of the Constitution has been violated.
His language was uttered within seventy miles of
where the two armies are now loQated, and who
are only waiting for a few sunny days to solve the
great mooted question whether we are c a p able of
self- government. In conclusion, Mr. Spaulding
denied the truth of a paper read by Mr. Fernando
Wood. yesterday,- that he (Mr. Spa,ulding) had, at
the Fremont Convention, made a speech far disso
lution- He made no speech there, and never
entertained -.nett epiulie ..

peach, but after a careful . examination he had
come to the conclusion that there was scarcely a
sentiment or word of it that he could endorse, nor
did be believe such sentiments should be uttered in
this House, or even endorsed by any considerable
portion of the people of the United States. He
then arraigned the . Democratic party, a portion of
which are now in rebellion, with being the origin
and instrumentality in bringing on the rebellion.
But for them we would not be in the attitude we
are to-day.
In the course of his remarks he repeated what
Douglas bad said that there could be but two par
ties, patriots and traitors [applausela d then pro
ceeded to quote from Yancey, Davis, Brooks and
others, to show that they were prepared to sever
the' Union, making the election of Fremont the
pretext. If Brooks' advice was followed oat,
namely, to place none bat slavery men as senti
nels, the gentleman from Ohio would not have
bten thus selected.
r. Cox replied that he never held the doctrine
that the Democratic party was anti slaves*. -He
bad said that party was neither slavery nor anti
slavery, but in favor of non-intervention, leaving
to the people of the States and TerritorieS the right
to regulate their own domestic matters.
Mr. Smith, in reply to Mr. Cox, said he had
voted for Mr. Douglas, and believed the spirit of
Douglas indorsed every sentiment he now uttered,
and that the spirit was - saying to. the gentleman
from Ohio (Mr. Cox):—"'You have departed from
thedruth. [Laughter.]
Mr. Cox wished to know what peculiar right the
gentleman bad to speak for - the deceased statesmak.
He (Mr. Cox) had made the first speech against
Secession, backing up Douglas in his views, and
had never departed from them:
Mr. Smith replied that he understood from the
Good Book that all true and honest spirits are
liberal spirits, and thus communicate. But there
war, an impassable gulf between the good and the
bad, therefore it was not surprising that the gen
tleman had not heard from Douglas. (Laughter
Mr. Smith then adverted to 'Meseta of finer:moan,
Floyd and others connected with the late ildninis
tration, declaring that as slavery was the cause of
war it ought to be removed, so that we- may have
an independent nation of freedmen. [Appls.u.,e.]
Mr. Voorhees (Intl.) rose to a point of order, ow
ing to the demonstrations in the galleries being un
suppressed. and speaking of the pretence of the
person occupying the Chair, namely, Mr. Rollins,
of New Hampshire.
Mr. Grinnell called him to order.
Mr. Smith hoped the gentlemen in the galleries
would keep their feet still and their hands en tneir
pockets He said the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Long), had left his own desk and occupied Isis
(Mr. Smith's), at which to deliver his speech.
Was there ever such a desecration of a loyal
speech, and Mr. Smith earnestly contended that
we should whip down the rebellion. If we can
not do that, let us subjugate the South, and popu
late it with a better people. If gentlemen here
sympathise with the Southern rebellion, let them
honestly define their position.
Mr Pendleton (Ohio) would not discuss the
soundness or uneoundness of the views of his col
league (Mr. Long). The expression of an opinion
at the proper time and under the roles was beyond
the jurisdiction of the House. Alt the House could
do was to punish for disorderly conduct
Mr. - Washburn° (Ill.) inquired whether the gen
tleman did not, - during the last Congress, vote to
expel two members of this House for other than
disorderly conduct.
Mr. Pendleton asked, what two t
Mr. Washburn° replied, Mr. Read, of Missouri,
and Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky.
Mr. Pendleton said he voted for their expulsion
because they were in arms against the govern
ment. Did not the gentleman consider that disor
derly conduct
M. Washburn° replied that he accepted the ex
planation.
Mr. Garfield (Ohio) put a case to hie colleague
in order to a better understanding of his views.
Suppose he should, in a decorous manner, intro
duce here the plans of General Grant for the cam
paign about to be commenced. Suppose he should
oppose such plans and state the number of men,
&c.; that would not be disorderly condo. t. But
was it not an offence for which he should be pun
ished 1
Mr. Pendleton replied that if the gentleman ob
tained his facts of the campaign from newspapers
and of public notoriety, he would be perfectly right
to mention it, and it was not,in the power of the
House to punish him for it But if the gentleman
went to the War Department and procured im
portant information under the seal of the Secretary
and then came here and made a speech against it
openly, when he had a right to move that the doors
be closed, and by thus publicly speaking gave atd
and comfort to the enemy, that would be disor
derly conduct of the gravest kind:
Mr. Amos Myers (Pa ) maid in his experience as
a lawyer, he had never before seen a man come
into court and express his guilt. All the gentle
man from Ohio (Mr. Long) had to do to show him
self a full rebel, was to present his revolver.
They had not to wait for him to go Into the rebel
army before they excluded him from this Hall.
The soldiers would take him by the neck and heels
and throw him out of camp for declaring such sen
timents in their presence. Mr. Myers then al
luded to the speech of Mr. Long, examining into
the motives of the geateman; main'aining that he
bad the heart of a traitor, and had made use of
language similar to that of others previous to
openly going into rebellion. He should vote for
the expulsion of the gentleman from Ohio,
for the
reason that he believed from the member's own
declaration, that be preferred the recognition of
the Seuthern Confederacy to the subjugation of the
South.
A motion was made at a quarter of five o'clock
for a recess till six, and this was agreed to.
Evening Session.—The galleries were crowded at
six o' clo .Ir, but very few members were present,
as it was known no vote vroald be - taken till Thurs
day.
Mr. Cravens (Ind.) said he had read Mr. Long's
speech, and was unable to discover anything in is
justly subjecting him to censure or dismissal. He
did not believe with the gentleman in many of his
conclusions. He hoped he would never arrive at
the conclusion that it was necessary to recognize
the Southern Confederacy. He would not have
made the declaration the gentleman did' in the
House, but if the issue were presented to him
whether he would exterminate every man, woman
and child In the Southern Confederacy, he would
have come to the same conclusion. The gentle.
from Ohio. as the representative of a free people,
ha d a right to be heard.'
Mr. Harrington (Ind.), in alluding to the pend
ing resolution, characterized it as a partisan pro
ceding, and not prompted by patriotism. His
colleague (Mr. Colfax) had not only descended
from his high position, but had at once become the
accuser and prosecutor of the gentleman from
Ohio. In the course of his remarks ho said the
people of New England have no stomach for fight
in g.
This called up Mr. Boutwell (Mass.) who asked
him w hat authority he had for the assertion.
Mr. Harrington replied he had judged such to
be the case from the. fact that Massachusetts has
agents in Indiana recruiting negroes to fill np the
quota of that State. Indiana woald have nothing to
do with negroes.. She sends white men into the
Mr. Boutwell observed that Massachusetts had
less to fear from Secession than any other State,
because of her isolaticn, and haying two-thirds of
the maritime power of the continent. The men of
that State rallied to the defence of the republic
without a second invitation. He knew of no act
of her representatives on thisi floor to justify the
gentleman saying that they had no stomach for
prosecuting - the war.
While Mr. Barrington was speaking there was
some hissing in the galleries
Mr. Eldridge said they had suffered enough from
New England men in the galleries, and their breach
of order ought to be. prevented. Some one asked
how he knew they 'were New Englanders.
Mr. Holman said there was ample power for the
Chair to suppress such disturbances_
Mr. Eldridge said he would move that the
galleries be cleared if any further disturbance oc
curred.
The Speaker pro' tem. (Mr. Rollins, N. H.) di
rected the doorkeepers to remove from the galleries
persons who might repeat the disturbance.
Mr. Harrington resumed and concluded his re
marks, advocating the right of free speech, for no
force could overcome the mind, however it might
oppress the body.
Mr. Broomall (Pa.) offered an amendment to the
pending resolution, declaring Alexander Long- to
be an unworthy member of the House ' and that
the Speaker read this resolution to said Long du
ring the session of the House.
Mr. Eldridge raised a point of order, that Mr.
Long's speech was made in Committee of the
Whole on the the State of the Union, and no ex
ceptions having been taken in Committee, the pro
position could not, under the rules, be entertained
in the House.
The hpeaker overruled the point of order, Oil the
ground that it was proposed in the amendment
not to censure Mr. Long for words spoken in
debate, but for the publication of his speech in
Washington and New York, and his giving
evidence of disloyalty, and aid and comfort to the
enemy.
Mr. Eldridge appealed from the decision.
Mr. Holman also raised a - point of order that-Mr.
Broomall s substitute was not germain to the ori
ginal proposition.
The questions were reserved for future action.
Mr. Broomall said he offered his resolution of
censure because, from what had already taken
place, they could not obtain the requisite Consti
tutional two-thirds to expel the member, and as he
could not be gratified in having him expelled,must
be content to get ':a resolution- of censure. The
Democratic party had drifted to the position of Mr.
Long (Ohio) and Harris (Md.). They had been so
used to running in the old Demodratic harness, on
the Democratic track, that all the Republican side
could urge failed to switch them off. President
Buchanan laid down the same dodtrine as the
member from Ohio, and so said Jefferson Davis.
He was glad there had been some improvement,
for many Democrats do believe there is a power to
coerce evil doers to good behavior under the Con
stitution. This discussion showed where the di
viding line i. to be drawn.
Mr. Winfield (N. y. ) said there always had been
and always would be War Democrats. When as
sailed in the past they had always been on the side
of the country to the extent of the last dollar, and
the lax t avail We near.s. This war had zot, Den pre

any of its members. The Dernocrats have stood
by the country's honor by precept and practice.
Be spoke of the•rebellion as unjustifiable, unlaw
lul and unholy.
, It was right to resort to arms to bring baek the
rebellions citizens to their allegiance to the Oonsti
tution If he thought there was a prospect of
peace by negotiations he world leave no means
untried to bring it about. Bnt before he would
agree to sending commissioners It must first be
shown that poste °yarn:es would meet with a
corresponding epirit,,and because he would 'no , .
pursue that false light he was to be told by his
col'eague, Fernando Wood, that he had ceased to
be a L emocrat.
Mr. Grintell (Iowa) referred to the Democratic
party as the sick man of tc6t. It was too far gone
for any medicine yet discovered to cure it. He
protested against Mr. Winfield turning over -Fer
nando Wood to the Republican party. They had
done nothing to justly En eh a terrible infliction.
The gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Harrington)
had uatd the soldiers of Massachusetts had no sto
mach for the fight.
Mr. Holman and ) remarked 'hat his colleague,
did not s•iy the soldiers, but that the representa
tives of Maseachusetts had no 8101116 Ch fertile fight.
Mr. Bontwell, having been appealed to, Mr.
Grit:mei' said that Mr. Harrington first said that
the soldiers of idassachnsetts have no stomach for
the light, and next the people. and in the third
place the representatives on this floor. •
Mr. Grinnell repelled the base slanders on New
England. and remarked that the Western soldiers
th.nk that the soldiers from that section fight as
well as any others.
We do not hear so much of the crack of the
slaveholder's whip as wee id four years ago. The
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Harris) said that
he was willing to take all the sins of slavery.
Every one of the slave= of that member had a note
against him wi-h compound interes'. Mr. Love
joy, the Abolitionist, had a seat in Heaven, but the
gentleman from Maryland would not have one
near him. I would, remarked Mr. Grinnell, ra
ther say a thousand times, let the country be di
vided. the South go their way all slave, and the
North all free, than to see the country once more
under Democratic rule.
Mr. Dolman demanded that this•sentence should
be taken down by the Clerk
There was much merriment on the Democratic
side: when
Mi. Smith (Ky.) expressed the hope that the
House would keep yuiet. [Cries of order.]
Mr. Eldridge trusted the House would hear the
gentleman from Kentucky. [Cries of order.]
After some further noisy proceedings Mr Grin
nell said he was merely attempting to quote the
remarks of Representative Conway.
The Speaker pro. tern. said—Under these cir
cumstances the gentleman from lowa was in order.
Mr. Grinned concluded his remarks.
At 12.20 P. M., the House adjourned till Thurs.
THE LATE EXPLOSION AT MERRICK'S
FOUNDRY—CONCLUSION OF THE CORO
NER'S INVESTIGATION ELABORATE
VERDICT OF THE JURY.
Yesterday afternoon, at the Central Police Sta
tion, Coroner Taylor resumed the investigation of
the rec . nt explosion of the .boiler at Merrick dc
Sons' foundry on Washington street, in the Seven
teenth Ward. The following testimony was
elicitel
George Priest, sworn—Was at the foundry when
the explosion occurred; am acquainted with the
general construction of the boiler; 'knew of the
leak; it was in the fire box, near the back part;
never was inside the - boiler to assertain the pres
sure or strain, the engineer was found at the bot
tom of the stairs of the engine room alter the ex
plosion; the body of the fireman was found oppo
site the boiler, much mutilated; the fireman ap
peared to have been somewhat scalded; his flesh
was red and swollen; the engineer appeared to
have been killed by a blow ou the skull, and not
from scalding; the fireman was the only one that
g,a-re evidence of having been scalded; I left the
boiler five or ten minutes before the explosion took
place; there were two leaks, both on the same side
of the bridge, but running into two furnaces; the
leak was near the middle leg of the boiler, the body
of the fireman was found west of the holler; this
indiewes that he was in front of the boiler when It
exploded; the engineer had been blown further to
the west, rather a little to the southwest; the dis
tance from the let tier to the Machine shop was about
forty feet; the engine room was higher than the
toiler; the engineer must have been blown down
stairs; 1 examined the pressure-gauge of tee boiler,
and found 5.5 pounds of steam on; the water-gsage
indicated there was more water than usual In the
toiler; the fire at the time was not pushed, in fact,
It was going down; the leaks were not 'efficient
to overcome the pump; the pump was Working
water; I am sure of that; the valve was not open
connecting the two boilers, the old boiler was not
in action: the new boiler had been working from
early in the morning 'until the time of the explo
lioe; Mr. McLaughlin, the engineer, had charge
of the boiler for over a year.
B. B. Bartol recalled—Diagrams of the now and
old boilers were exhibited. This witness wes
questioned very minutely on the construction of
the boiler as to any detects that may have b-en
observed ,in the old boiler; in making the
new boiler such alteration wee made as
experience had exhibited in regard to any
defects in the old one; I think the new
boiler was ae - strong as the old one an Its general
construction; the beam in the old boiler
was thirty Inches; in the new boiler - it was this_
teen inches: it is likely that had my attention been
called to this I could have suggested an alteration,
probably additional braces; the leak I should think
was evidence of 'weaken se; the leak had been pre
, •ionely mended; fur two days the butler was
worked with the other at the same pressure; it is
not probable that the firm are familiar with all the
minor details in the construction of the boiler; this
36 left to •he foreman 01 the boiler shop; two pair
of theeame boilers are now in use on vessels; they
are run at a pressure of twenty-eigat to thirty
pounces of steam.
Angus McPherson, William J. Hoyt, Bernard
Strain, Lomiuic Farreu, Richard V. Newsham,
Samuel Blown, Sr., Patrick Gibson, John Grant,
Jacob Gibson, John Itmith. Thomas Steven.,
Michael Mun ay, Jamea Drew, Bernard McAdams,
and James Bayne. Jr., were examined as wit
nesses, as to the exploition, its effects upon them,
the sound thereof, and as to the competency of the
engineer:
Tns Tennic2.—The jury then retired to delibe
rate and in half an hour returned the following
verdict:
In examing into the eanse of the late disastrons
explosion, we find the' following facts presented
to us:
A boiler, built upon a certain plan, 2133 been in
use in the establishment for/ seven yeare-, it had
proved economical in its consumptiau of fuel, and
occupied but little space; as, however. it had been
in constant nee for the above number of years, it
was deemed advisable by the firm to construct a
new boiler, which - might either work alternately
with the old one, or take its place in supplying
them with steam.
The one boiler had never given them any trouble,
except in one part called the water legs, in the
back part of which, tha' is, back of the bridge
wall, sediment had collected, and caused the iron
to rust out.
Safi , fted with the efficiency of the first boiler,tho
new one was designed upon the same general plan
as the old one, every precaution being taken (as
was supposed) to make it strong and d arable, and
to obviate the trouble arising from the accumult
toe °fait:lnvent in the water legs, a modification
was made in that part
'I be second boiler being completed, was tested
and found to leak in a certain place. This leak was
mended, ,anti atter several trials the boiler -was
pronounced tight and ready for use. The boiler
was then fired, and furnished steam for the estab
lishment at first in connection with the old one,
and finally for sea eral days by itself.
On the morning of April sixth, the day of the ex
plosion, the leak was found to have reopened to
such an extent as to cause uneasiness as to the
water supply on the part of the foreman of the es
tablishment, Mr. Denby, who gave orders to have
steam raised in the old boiler,and to draw the litres
in the new one.
While these orders were being carried out the ex
plosion occurred.
Exemining Into the competency of the man in
charge of the boiler, the conviction is forced upon
ns that he was well qualified for his situation, and
was a good, careful man.
Abundant testimony has also been given to prove
that the pressure of steam at or immediate y he
lot e the explosion was not more than fifty-seven
pounds, and that the boiler was well supplied.
with water.
The usual theories of explosions, namely, low
'water; sudden priming or forcing up of water into
the he , ' ted'etett. &c., seem not to be applicable to
the present cask, and we. are forced into a consi
deration of the form of this boiler and the possible
existence of some weak point which did not exist
in the old one.
This boiler is of form similar to those used on
steam vessels, and having fiatesides andan arched
roof, it} mainly dependant upon stays for Its
strength.
Tbe sides seem to have been abundantly supplied
with these stays, and to have been bnilittle injured
by, the explosion, while the whole of the bottom
part, containing the furnaces, had been violently
rent from the hides, and projected in one direction,
while the main part of the bolter was thrown in an
opposite direction.
The bottom or furnace part of the boiler consists
of a series of arched pat sages used as Ye rnaces; s •id
passages being twenty-one niches wide, semi-cir
cular on thd top or crown, and stayed from one to
the other by a series of Iron braces. The parts be
tween the arches are what 'have been termed
water-legs. These water-lege on the old boiler
extended from the front to the back of the boiler,
thus forming powerful beams, thirty inches in
oepth, to rees'st the pressure of the steam tending
to push the bottom out of the boiler. At the front
they are connected. by a water space below the
doors of the furnaces, and at the back by a water
space extending to the bottom; and thus were
firmly united, ,and - formed, as it were, a floor
supported by beams about thirty inches deep, flee
inches wide, and only thirteen feet long, which
were, moreover, tied together top and bottom,
at both ends, to prevent their spreading at the
bottom from the pressure aliove; a form admirably
adantedto carry the load placed upon it. -
11^; the AD w Neuttlitt .that, the.beame upon,
which depend the stability of the bottoni, were not
contain-ft from Pod to end of a - uniform depth, but
by the cutting off of the part which w is tilled with
sediment iu the o d boiler, have been reduce i to a
depth front the crown to the bottom of tint ttitrt.en
inches for a distance ot halt of ,heir entire
length. Hence the floor bettnis, as it weley are r
dnced to less.than one halt of the depth of those in
the old boiler, namely, from thirty inches to thir
teen Inches in the centre of the boiler bottom, ' The
most valuable part of the beams havirig been.r
moved by this operation, and the main support of
the crown sheets taken away, no addi tonal' stays
were put in to compensate for this. weakness
Without going into 'any calculation of the
strength of the floor of the boiler,' we see that it is
not half as strong as the old one, and has yielded
nider a pressure of only flity•seven
square inch. . .
That the yield took place at this part, in the very
centre of the boiler bottom, is In .intained by the
leak. 'which persistently appeared at this veri
part, where a rupture should have begun if the
floor was' too weak. This leak was mended from
time to time, but, OR the day of the .etplosiott had
increased to such an extent as to endanger tne
water supply, and to cause the order to be given
for discontinuing the use of this boiler, unfortu
nately too late, although this order was promptly
given, and was in coarse of execution.
We t are,. therefore,,to render the verdict that
Paniel McLoughlin, John Doughery. John !Yin-
G owan John S. Webb, J. Wisner, Patrick Bran
non Edward Bannon, Alexander Giles, Alexan
der Hickey, came to their death by the explosion
of a boiler in the establishment of Mesers Merrick
At Sons. 4th Washington avenue, on the 6th .day of
April, 1861, said explosion having resulted from
a defect in the construction or the boiler, which
detect o. minated in a change of form from a
boiler previously used with entire saf-ty, and
which change was oe , igned to remedy thetrouble
oh sedimentary deposits.
Y , Aur Jury believe that the diminished strength
which resulted from the change escaped the notice
of the constructors, and that the making of the
new boiler and its management afterwards were
designed as precautionary measures, - and were
intended to avoid the very disaster which has
fallen upon them and the unfortunate victims.
