CITY BULLETIN,
Tun LATE Bon.un Exia,ostos.z.-Conosran's IN
,a-asttoierioN.—The Coroner's Inquest is the case
of George W. Harris, John WWII and Frank
Wise, whose deaths resulted from the explosion
of a boiler at the iron works at Beach and Marl
borough streets, on Monday afternoon last, was
held this morning. •
Wm. Myers, residing at 225 Allen street, tes
titled—l am beater at the mill; I worked at the
head of the boiler that blew out; I think it was
between 8 and 9 'clock on Monda mornin w
saw a little leak o around the rivets y
of the boiler:
we looked at it, and I went to Mr. McFadden,and
he and I examined the water; I am satisfied
that there was plenty of water in the, boiler; I
worked without any fear; the boiler was leaking
sometime in the forenoon; it had not been leak
ing before; I notified Mr. McFadden, one
of the firm; I thought the leak was at • a
rivet under the boiler; a little water came
out; I watched it during the day; the pressure of
steam was about the same as we always carried;
the mill was running about as usual all that day;
the boilers were not considereddangerous.
Daniel Hawk, residing at 1186 Beach street,tes
tified—Ata a "helper" iu the mill; have worked
thereabout four weeks steady; was on the night
shift: came on about 4 o'clock; I examined the
gunge-cock and found that there was plenty of
water in the boiler; beard nothing about the leak
until after the explosion; had been at work
about a half hour after I charged the furnace,
when the explosion occurred; the engine was
running when I came, and I think it was run
ning all the time I was there• ; heard nothing of
the boiler giving any signs of weakness; I don't
think that the steam was blowing off; it was
about the time of charging, and then the steam
is a little lower; I was working , at the farnace
under one of those boilers; I tried the gunge
cock merely for satisfaction to myself; the engi
neer was in the habit of trying the cock; never
knew the water to be low in the boiler since I
have been there; there are two gunge cocks.
John Haggerty,residing at 810 Latimore street,
testified—Am a "puddler"; have been working
there two years; worked at furnace next to this
boiler; was not in the mill at the time of the ex
plosion: hadleft about two minutes; considered
myself safe all day: tried the water often and , found
it all correct; saw a boiler-maker and Mr. McFad
den looking at the boiler sometime in the fore
noon: I didn't go around until sometime af
terwards; I noticed a little water leaking
into a trough.; I didiat, consider it dangerous; I
thought it would run the week out, and on Sa
turday a new bead would be put In; the engi
neer often tried the guagezeock; I tried the upper
cock; always found the water right; didn't try
the boiler that exploded; tried the one next to us;
all four boilers were connected; the engineer is
always about the railhhe doesn't work at anything
else in the mill; there are two engineers; one at
night and one in the day.
Michael Kerrigan residing Met Hope street,
testified—Have worked at the mill four years:
am a puddler; tried the gauge cock,. and found
the water all right: never felt afraid to work
about the boiler when it was leaking; heard of a
leak, but didn't see it; the mill was running up
to its usual capacity. •
Peter Smith, residing Belgrade street, tes-
Xfied—llave a machine shop opposite the mill;
the boilers were in pretty good order; the iron
was good; know nothing about the water; am a
practical machinist; high pressure would cause
the explosion but low water would not; don't
know anything about the leak; if the leak had
been in the wrought iron there would have been
no danger; it seldom happens to blow out
the cast-iron head; consider the weakest
points about the rivets; the head of
that boiler has stood 123 lbs. of steam; I marked
the levers off on this boiler at 101 lbs.; the expan
sion and contraction of the boiler could not be
discovered by a skilful man unless it leaked;
this contraction might arise from different causes;
sudden admisssions of cold water would do It;
John Cumnings,residing at 1009 Hanover street,
testified—Am a boiler maker ; was called in to
examine the boiler on the morning of the explo
sion ; was told that there was a small crack in the
boiler and I was wanted to make a new head:
found the crack about three inches in length—it
was leaking a few drops ; I took the measure for
the new head; Mr. McFadden said that if It leaked
any more he would have to blow.•off; he told
me he had 80 pounds; I told him that he had better
not run any morel,' didn't consider it dangerous
with 80 pounds; I4as taking the measure of the
head there; could only see the crack by the water;
it appeared to be where the flange of the head
joined the solid head; it was near the feed pipe:
the .opinion I formed was that the
crack had started when the boiler
was made; I could not see why it would crack
while in use; I didn't look at the safety-valve
while I was there; have patched one of the boilers
several din - es; my impression is that the explo
sion was caused by a little more pressure than
usual; we never look for defects in boilers at the
place this one was; I never knew ono to be there
before.
John Davis, residing at 1116 Montgomery
avenue, testified—l am engineer at the mill; have
been in this portion of the mill between-two and
three years; the changes arc at six in the evening
and six in the morning; we report to each other
about the water; about nine o'clock in the morn
ing I discovered a leak; it was very little; I called
Mr. Myers; we had the pump on; when we took
the pump off it didn't leak; Mr. McFadden
brought the boiler maker; I felt safe
all day ; we only had the regular pressure on; we
always pump warm water ; generally we carried
about 811 tbs of steam; one safety-valve had four
weights; as soon as the pressure came up to 801bs
all the safety-valves would begin to blow off; the
pressure of steam has always been about 80 lbs
sauce I have been in the mill; I frequently tried
the water; we run with four cocks; we blew off
that day, but not at the time of the explosion; the
;rune would indicate 100 pounds of mercury;
Lars never seen it at tirat: she blowed heavy at
rt porrLds; I saw the crack in the morning; it was
not iu the wrought-iron; I couldn't see the crack;
I saw the water; I had no fear of danger;. I eau
not account for the accident; everything worked
smooth; I watched the crack all day, and it was
the same when the explo,lon occurred as it. was
when I discotered it.
Edward Wurtz, residing 1131 Palmer- street,
testified—Am engineer at the mill; have been
there twelve years; saw no leak on Nlonday
night: considered the boilers ail sate; 1 left every
thing fate in the hands of Mr. Davis; didn't re
turn until after the explosion; the boilers have
been in use all the time I have been there; the
boilers never gave any trouble except the
fourth one would burn out sometimes, and had
'to be patched; have seen the steam up to 00
pounds; the boilers began to weep at between 60
and 70 pounds; I believe we have carried higher
than 80 pounds of steam since I have been at the
mill.
Alex. Menttiden, residing 108 4 Hallowell street,
. -
testified- 1 am one of the firm. my attention was
called to a leak; I sent to the boiler-maker; when
he came asked him what he thought of itohe
said that it was not dangerous if it didn't get any
worse; that was my owii opinion, too; I ordered
a new head so as to have it ready in ease the de
fect got worse: this is the same as I would do
with any other machinery; we carried 80 lbs. of
steam.
Other witneses were examined. but no new
facts were elicited.
MAs Si u —A ball was given last night night
at the Musical Fund Hall. This morning about
one o'clock, several young men attempted to

Tho Union Pacific Railroad Company are building a
railroad from Omaha, on the Migeeuri River. Went, to cola
nect with the Central PaCific of California, building from
Sacramonto, East, and near, roads, when completed, will
ho THE ONLY GRAND RAILROAD BETWEEN TIE
ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC COASTS.
The Union Pacific Company have already
COMPLETED 550 MILES,
and trains are now running over the highest point of the
Rocky Mountains that will be traversed by the line. The
Company will have a much larger force employed this
year than ever before, and it is expected that between
800 and 900 Miles
will be in operation during 1868. There seems to be no
reasonable doubt that the 1,72.1 miles between Omaha and
Sacramento will be finished in 1970.
The means provided for the construction of this Great
National Work are ample. The United States grants its
Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from $16,000 to $48,000
por mile, for which it takes a second lien as security, and
receives payir eat to a large, if not to the full extent of its
claim in services. These Bonds are Weed as each twenty
mile section is finished, and after it has been examined
by United States Commissioners and pronounced to be in
aU respectsa first-class road, thoroughly supplied with
depots, repair-shops, stations, and all the necessary rolling
stock and other equipments.
The United Status also makes a donation of Ilitoo acres
of land along the line to the mile, which will be a source
of large revenue to the Company.
'1 be Company to also permitted to issue its own First
Mortgage lion& to an amount .goal to the issue of the
Government and no more. lion E. D. Morgan and Hon.
Oakes Ames are Trusteea for the liondholdsre, and de
liver the Bonds to the Company only as the work pro
gresses, so that ths y always represent au actual and pro.

The authorized capital of the Company is One Hun.
dred Million Dollars, of which over eight and one-half
millions have been paid in upon the work already done.
Contracts for the construction of 914 miles west
from Omaha, comprising much of. the most difficult
mountain work, have been made with responsible parties
at the average rate of sixty-sigh thousand and fifty
eight delle.re (tttb,ltsB) per mile. This price includes all
necessary car shops, depots. stations, and all other inci
dental buildings, and also locomotives, passenger, bog
gage and freight care, and other requisite rolling stock, to
an;amount that shall not be less than 417,500 per mile.
It is nut doubted that when the road is completed the
throuch traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific States will be late, beyond precedent, and, as
there w ill be no competition, it can always be done at
protitaile rates, and
THE EARNINGS FROli LOCAL OR WAY BUSINESS ARE NOW
THREE TIKES THE INTEREST ON THEIR BONDS.
It will be noticed that the tnion Pacific Railroad id; in
fact, A GOVERNMENT WORK, built under the super
vision of Government otlicerd, and to a large extent with
iavernment money, and that its bonds are issued under
viovernment dirt ction. It is believed thi.t no similar se
eurity so carefully guarded, and certainly no other is
ba,ed Upon a larger or more valuable property.
'ILe Union Pacific liomis are for 81,00 each, and have
cmtpom , attached. They have thirty years to run, and
bear annual interest, payable on the first days of
January and July, at the Company's Office, iu the city of
New York, at the rate of sic per cent. in gold. The Prin.
cipal in payable in gold at maturity.
At the present rate of Gold these bonds pay au annual
income on their cost of.
NEARLY NINE PER CENT.,
And It is Believed that they will noon
be at a Premium.
The Company have hot a very limited supply of their
Ronde remaining on hand; but it in expected that the fire.
instalment of the New Bonds, to be heated on that portion
of the road to be completed thin year, will be ready
in May. •
Any apbscripilon accepted to a greater amount than can
be filled from Bonds now in the Company's posseaelon

which they are received.
The Company reserve the right to advance the price of
their bonds to a rate above par at any time, and will not
