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.
DR. ISAAC'S, Of:VI:1ST Ao ACRIST,.has removed
from 519 Pine street to 805 Arch street. The in
crease-in his professional duties has compelled
him to move to a more central location. _ _
