CITY B Ul4l, ET LN., Tux MEAD STREET WHARF DISASTER—TIM. CORONER'S INVE.ST.—This morning Coroner -Daniels resumed the inenest in the case of the re . - cent disaster at Mead street wharf. The following statement of the Messrs. Welsh was presented and read: • PIDLARELEHIA Aug. 8, 1867. -Gentlemen: —Our chief clerk,, Mr. It. Thomas, at your first meeting, furnished all the testimony that was then within, our reach. We now supply this brief statement which, We understand, is expected from us: I The wharf which was the scat of the unfortu nate accident-Was completed about a year ago. In the permit for its construction, granted by the Port Wardens, it was required that a sluice or tideway sixteen (16) feet wide. should be left within sixty (60) feet 'from the end of the wharf. It was on the western or inner side of this sluice :the accident occurred, supposed to have been - caused by the current undermining the sixty-two (62) strong piles that were driven close together to form the buttress. Mr, Strickland ICucass fur nished the plan for the wharf, with specifications in detail, and also gave his personal oversight to Its construction. Re is the Chief Engineer of this city, has high scientific skill, great practical experience . , and enjoys deservedly universal confidence.' Messrs. T. &C. Lownsbury built the wharf. They are experienced wharf-builders, and did their utmost to execute the work well, and in strict accordance with the plan and specification. We thought it to be in every way Eolld and substantial. The wharf was in three parts of an uniform width of seventy (70) feet. The outer (62 feet) was crib work, sunk in about forty-five (45) feet water, then a sluice of sixteen (16) feet, the middle part (101 feet long) was on piles driven bye steam pile-driver into a solid foundation. The piles were, as is customary, cut off a, little above low water level, their heads per fectly secured together, and a platform of heavy timber placed thereon:Then came another sluice of sixteen (16) feet, and. the third or inner part (of 120 feet) was an old wharf,- crib-work, 'widened by pile-work. The upper portion of the entire wharf is earth, seven or eight feet deep. For a long while after a wharf is built, the earth covering always settles uneqUally, and as the ' `wood-work is never perfectlywater-tight, washes sometimes occur. The wharf-builders hail several times checked such washes, and refilled the sur face, and on the day before the calamity, after a heavy rain, they were, sent for to examine a settling ,in which rain-water was standing, that prevented its use for landirig cargo. Cunning!. ham, the intelligent day watchman who was drowned, asked leave to fill up the depression with a cart-load of cinders, but one of our firm thought best to send for Mr. Lownsbury, who came, and about an hour before the accident gave his assurance of the perfect solidity of the wharf, and promised to stop any leak, if such could be found, at the next low tide. In consequence of the puddle of rain water there was no sugar on the portion of the wharf which first sank, but this is net a material point, as the weight of earth on the wharf is seven times as great as that of all the sugar ever on it at one time. Yours respectfully, 8: & W. WELSH. To the Coroner's Jury. Strickland Kneass sworn—l superintended the building of the wharf; drew the specifications for it; the wharf was about 318 feel length; it Contained two sluices, according . to the plan of the Port Warddlit; the first sluice is about 126 feet from-the head of the dock, and 13 feet wide, and that was at the end of the old wharf,. which old wharf was widened by pile-work 27 feet, making a width of 71 feet, which was the width of the wharf after completion; outside of this sluice vas a pier built on pile-work 101 feet by 70, then a sluice 16 feet wide, then a crib built of solid wharfing 62 by 70 feet; this pile work was built with piles, four feet from centre, to centre, and four and half feet across the wharf;-the piles were tied in and, clamped; when we came out to bee the sluices on both sides, there -was double the number of piles ; clamped them in the same way. The platform was nearly laid on the crib-work, and it was connected to the pile work when the piling was carried - out to the line; there was water there, as die wharf was built up, and the current coming down *struck - against the . other wharf and passed through ~ the sluice, and washed away the feuu --dation; --1-sounded --the—end_of the pile-work as It now stands, and found only 14 feet of water at low water; ll:cave that the current only af fected the first three or four rows .of piles; the general outline of the wharf was given by the -Port • Wardens; those .who built the wharf are entirely governed by the Wardens; I' was not present the time; I 'had to depend to a great ext , mt oft, the wharf builders to carry out the specifications; I had all confidence that the Lowndsburys carried out 'my orders; I coder it . a good a wharf as could nsi be made; s I have imbibed several plans for .w;mtves like this one, the sluice-way (lid net give way; it Was the few frontlines of piles which were undermined and gave way; pile piers always break in tiQbottom;_ my opinion Is that that the break was caused by the ebb tide coming against the pier and washing away the foundation from around the piles. and the blood tide washed the same away; if I had to , reconstruct it I should place a solid pier there on account of the strong current. This closed the. evidence, and the jury retired to make up a verdict. • "A Mtosmasuut NIGHT'S DREAM."—Thomas Hood, in his dedication to Charles Lamb, says : "Shakespeare has conferred immortalitron the fairy mythology by his 'Midsummer Night's Dream." But ior, him, those pretty children of our childhood would leave bun 4y. their :..'..: _ our mature' . :years. They belong, as the mites "upon the plum, to the bloom ol fancy—a thing • generally too frail and beautiful to withstand the rude handling of Time; but if the poet has made • this most perishable part of the mind's creation equal to the most enduring, be has so intertwined the eltins with human sympathies, and linked them by so many delightful associations with the productions of nature, that they arc ;•-s real to the mind's eye as their green maelcal circles. to the outer sense. "It would have been a pity for such a race to go extinct, even though they Were but as the but terflies that hover about the leaves and blossoms of the Visible world." Very few of Shakespeare's plays have been so unmercifully subjected to the transmuting pro cess of the crucible as this fairy drama. It has been presented at different times in the shape of -- operas, farces and masques. The most notable productions recorded of it, are by Madame Yes nits, during her management of Covent Garden Theatre: Mr. Phelps, at Sadler's Wells, and the more recent revival by Charles Kean, at the Prin cess Theatre, London. Philadelphia-is promised the true Shakespearian version at the Walnut Street Theatre, next week, in a style surpassing in its magnificent embellishments any production of the play that has yet been given, to complete which we are told upwards of a 30,000 have been 'expended. Agents of experience and taste have been visit ing Europe at intervals, effecting the extensive preparations. To facilitate the intricate working of the transformation scenes an excavation of eighteen feet has been made under the stage. Extra gas meters and five hundred burners have been added, which will give a brilliancy of light never before approached'iu an American theatre, thus affording a desirable advantage to the beau tiful imported scenery and panorama. ' To wit- MSS this 'creation of Shakespeare's fancy; mode rately produced 'and acted, would be a pleasure, but in this representation we expect an extraor ' dinary trail; since we are assured that no dra matic exhibition has ever excelled the consistent harmony with which all the varied elements of the play will be blended. The Box sheet will be opened "for the Stile of tickets to-morrow (Friday) morning. ANOTI I Elt MEC'HAN IC.II • :NI PROV ENT.—:ktessrs. Morris, Wheeler & Co., have just Introduced into their iron warehouse, at Pixteenth and Market streets ' two large platform scales, of a construc tion hitherto unknown In this city, which are well worth the attentive inspection of our business men. They are culled the "Sampson" scales, after the name of the inventor, Mr. Eluathau eampson, who has been eng,iged for the last eight or nine years In perfecting and consolidating various improvements in weighing. The Snap . serf scales just introduced by Morris, .Wheeler Co. : ere of large size, capable- of weighing six tons each, but they are such marvels .of accuracy that they indicate variations of three or four 01111 M as promptly as the counter scales of a retail vrocer. By a very ingenious but simple arrangement these huge scalets'are entirely unaffected by the oscillations , CauSed by driving loaded wagons upon them, and the hearings are so equalized that the weight :' May be placed upon any- part of the. platform With the same accurate result. The substitution of a short, vertical lever in the place of the long, horizontal lever, now , in use, obviates the ten dency to spring and bend, which is the principal cause of variation large scales, The whole Construction is simple, durable and intelligible, and the nicety and pormanence of the adjust ment not fie,orn be affected by size of the scale.does to Thus one of the Sampson the scales in use on the Champlain canal, when weighing a canal boat of 885,000 lbs., indicated the removal of a couple of pailsful of' wet oats with unerring accuracy. Messrs. Morris, Wheeler & Co. have the credit of introducing the first Sampson scales into Phi ladelphia. The company, which has just consoli dated the patents involved in this important im provement, is about establishing large manufac turing works in New York, and will probably also erect works in Philadelphia for the construc tion of these scales. Meanwhile, business men and others of a mechanical tam "Uniud will do well to make a visit to .Messrs. 1V 10 Wheeler & Co.'s warehouse, and inspect this great im provement in the mechanic arts. A PUBLIC MUNI:6:6 FOUNTAIN.—A handsome iron drinking fountain, which can be used not only by thirsty people, but by horses, dogs, &c., has been put up on Dock street, at the eastern front of the Exchange. The fountain is a present from Messrs. Reaney, Son & Co., of Chester, and was put up under the direction of the Pennsyl vania Society for the, Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This Society intends to erect similar fountains in various parts of the city as soon as the necessary authority can be obtained. CHARGED WITH STAIIIIING.—Frank Harold, re siding on Olive street, above Twelfth, was arrested yesterday, and taken before Alderman Massey, on the charge of having stabbed a man in the thigh. It seems that some parties have been annoying-him by throwing mud at him, and becoming cnraged,he drew a knife and cut one of his tormentors, as above stated. He was sent to prison. FATAL RESIILT.—John Moore,. the policeman who was injured yesterday morning by being run over by a passenger "railway car, at Seventh andilouth streets, died at the Pennsylvania Hos pital at. alf-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The deceased resided at Twelfth and Ellsworth streets. Ho was appointed on the police force June '2, 1858. I~ccluL' r.—William Breagher, aged 30 years an ostler, was kicked in the groin by a horse, a a stable, at Fourth and Culvert streets, las night, about ten o'clock. He was badly injured and was conveyed to his home, at No. 124' North Fourth street. . LAIICIIIM—Margaret Haggerty went into a tailor stop at Broad and Coates streets yester day afternoon upon pretence of begging, and while there helped herself to several vest pat terns. She was arrested, and after a hearing be fore Ald. Pancoast, was committed. JUVENILE TIIIEVES. — Four boy were arrested yesterday for stealing from new buildings in the neighborhood of ,Pine and Sixteenth streets. They had already taken considerable property before they were captured. The juveniles were committed by Ald. Tunison. SIONOR ANTONIO BARILI 7 :of New York, brother of Adelina Patti, has, we understand, determined to come to Philadelphia to reside and teach - vocal music. He is well known as an ex cellent singer, and he has had long experience in New York as a teacher. T/IE VISITING FIREMEN.—The Washington Fire Company of Brooklyn; now on a visit to this city, were escorted to Independence Hall this morning, and were subsequently taken to other public institutions.
