ANDREW JOIISSONN SENTENCE.
The rhetoric of the impeachment trial has
been far from unimpeachable. Nearly every
one of the managers and counsel who have
spoken has undertaken a few flights of
fanes, by way of relieving the solid monoto
ny - if the argument, and the results have not
..lways been favorable to the reputation of
-,.r public, men as writers and orators.
Some very peculiar effects have been' pro
duced in this way, but one so striking as
theidifferent ways which different speakers
suggest for the disposal of the "distinguished
respondent," Andrew Johnson.
Mr. Boutwell proposes to project the con
victed criminal into infinite space. Having
abandoned the Constitutiolll; Johnson is to
become a Constellation. There is a dark
hole in the southern heavens with never a
planet, sun or comet to illuminate its black
ness, and thither, by some mighty combina
tion of earth, air and water,—a sort of com
pound blow-pipe,—the miserable ex-Presi
dent is to be hurled, leaving not only "thirty
six stars" behind him,but all the innumerable
siderial hosts, as he goes swinging around the
circle of the universe to this infinitely distant
dungeon. Mr. Everts might well say that
Congress could never more send to him for
persons and papers in that remote exile.
But Mr. Stanbery has trumped Mr. Bout
well's rhetorical card. He also tells the Sen
ate where Andrew. Johnson is to be sent, in
the event of his conviction. Mr. Boutwell's
magination soared heavenward; Mr. Stan
bery's is of the earth, earthy. Mr. Boutwell
searches out the remotest vault of the over
arching sky. Mr. Stanbery digs down to the
deepest vault beneath the Capitol. Mr.
Boutwell projects the culprit into the
cold vacuum of the outer darkness. Mr.
Stanbery puts him in the way of reaching the
central fires of the earth.. Mr. Boutwell
places a new Great Bear in the skies. Mr.
Stanbery puts a second Guy Fawkes into the
Capitol cellar. Mr.Boutwell asks Congress to
blow Andrew Johnson up sky-high. Mr.Stan
bery hopes, in his secret heart, to lodge him
where he may blow Congress in the same di
rection. Mr. Boutwell commits him to a
distant cell. Mr. Stanbery plunges him into
a dismal cellar.
We trust that the Senate will not be be
guiled by Mr. Stanbery's apparent fairness.
it may seem, at first sight, that Andrew
Johnson, "immolated upon an altar" to be
erected in the "darkest and gloomies t cham
ber in the, subterranean recesses of the Capi
tol" would be as effectually disposed of as if
he were transported to Mr. Boutwell's "outer
darkness." But this is a grave mistake,
Mr. Everts eloquently demonstrated the diffi
iculties, not to say the impossibilities, of get
ting back from the astronomical void of Mr.
.Boutwell, but Mr. Stanbery's plan might re
sult very differently. Setting aside the ques
tion of the rheumatism which would inevi
tably follow a session of the Senate in the
sub-cellars, of the Capitol,Mr. Stanbery warns
us, in advance, of his client's resurrection.
He informs the Senate that the "strong arm
of the people will find a way to raise him
rom any depth to which he may be con
signed." He does not go into particulars,but
the hint is enough. They might tunnel
Washington, as the Yankees tunneled Libby
Prison, and drag Andrew Johnson out, atten
uated and dirty, but still good for a life-time
of mischief. They might roll a barrel or two
of gunpowder into the next cellar, after the
fashion of the Clerkenwell Fenians, and "Up
goes Capitol, Johnson and all!" They might
bribe the jailors, or drug them with bad
whisky, and steal out with their rescued cap
tive in the dead of night. Mr. Stanbery
knows what he is about when he tells about
the Capitol cellars,for his client. He dreads
the infliction of the capital punish
naent provided by the Constitution
and hopes to delude the Senate into commu
ting the sentence into a mere hauling his
client over the coals of the national cellar,
He considers that abasement deep enou4lig
Andrew Johnson, but he will find tillift the
Senate and the people put a very different es
timate on his crimes. The cellars and the
Garretts of the Senate are alike shockingly
disagreeable, and would be ample punish
ment for ()ramify offenders. But if Andrew
Johnson is disqualified by the Constitution
from holding any place under the Govern
ment, there can certainly be no law for al
lowing him to occupy a cellar beneath the
very Capitol itself.
WANHIMATON BLACKGUAILDISIG
We know and care nothing for the merits
of the controversy between 'Messrs. Wash
burne of Illinois and Donnelly of Minnesota.
Whatever their quarrel was, it was a private
one with which Congress had nothing to do.
If Mr. Washburne has falsely accused Mr.
Donnelly, he has his proper remedy and
should apply it. It is no concern of the pub
lic. The exhibition made by both parties to
this quarrel in the House, on Saturday, was
disgraceful in the extreme, not only to them
selves, but to every member ofJhe House
who sat in his place and made no protest
against the fml and vulgar language in
which the dispute was carried on. Demo
crats and Republicans share alike in the
shame of such a spectacle, which has no par
allel except at a dog fight or around a rat-pit.
Speaker Colfax administered a stern rebuke
to the House when he declared that, al—
though the llouse tolerated such lingulge, it
bfritat not go on the record except with his
rote at. That Mr, Colfax should have stood
alone in such a protest is a mortifying fact.
The Democrats are always ready to encour
age controversies among their opponents,
and they were not likely to inter
fere with what they may uSe here
after as effective capital. The Republicans,
with whom Mr. Washburne has undoubtedly
made himself very unpopular by his domi
neering manners, seem to have been more
than willing that this shameful affair should
not be interrupted. And so the country is
shocked with the spectacle of a whole session
of Congress given over to a set-to between
two members, over a private quarrel, con
ducted in language for which the whole legis
lative records of the country have probably
no parallel. If Congress had adjourned from
the bar of the Senate to attend a. cock-fight or
a bear-bait, it would have done itself less dis
credit, and inflicted far less harm on the
morals of the country.
Ettrito vErac rs IN tlB6B.
Allusion was made a few days ago to the
great activity now prevailing. among builders
in Philadelphia. The monthly statement of
the Building Inspectors, up to the Ist of
May, enable us to present figures that show
more definitely the extent of this activity.
The permits for the month of April were 617
or new buildings and for alterations.
This has only been exceeded once before,
and that was in June of last year, when there
were 616 permits for new buildings and 137
for alterations. The months of May and
June of this year will probably each show
larger figures than these. The following is a
comparative statement of the permits issued
in the first four months of 1867 and 1868 :

March... 161 98 , " 387 127
April.... 504. - 167 647 161
Total.. 767
Owing to the severe and protracted winter,
building operations did not fairly begin this
year ,until March, and yet there have already
been issued 342 more permits for new build
ings than there were at the same time last
year, which was the heaviest year for new`
buildings ever known in Philadelphia. Al
ready 1109 have been commenced, and the
probability is that the whole number for the
year will exceed five thousand. It must be
borne in mind that these are nearly all two,
three and four-storied dwellings, built of
brick, in the convenient and substantial style
peculiar to Philadelphia. If we estimate the
average cost of them at the very low rate of
three thousand dollars a-piece, we
shall have the vast sum of fifteen mil-
Hong of dollars expended oa new
buildings in. Philadelphia. But as there are
among the new structures nurnerous costly
mansions, factories, churches, halls, school
houses, stores, 4c., it is probable that the
whole cost of the new buildings will amount
to twenty-five or thirty millions. A. great
parade has been made of an estimate that the
new buildings in Chicago, this year, will cost
between three and four millions. Philadel
phia, in her quiet, unassuming way, is doing
a much heavier and costlier work, not
equalled, perhaps, by the corresponding
work in any other city of the Union.
44 FR0111 TILE Pima' OF PLAY, BEFORE
7 A. IT1.!”
Every year, with the first of this pleasant
month of May, there is inaugurated in Phila
delphia a certain rite, or mystery, or ordi
nance, or homage, which has no parallel in
any other large city, and which has just been
described to us by a foreigner of intelligence
in the terms natural to his surprise and de
light. He says he was awakened, on Satur
day morning, from those latest, sweetest
dreams that play around the pillow just as
the sun is rising. What aroused him ww
the plash of a thousand fountains, waters
more musical and manifold than ever leaped
from the lions' mouths in the
Alhambra, filling the air with their
dashing, and receding up and down the street
in long perspectives of silver sound. Com
mingled with, this symphony, there entered
his windows a cheery chorus of rich contralto
voices, thrown out from deep lungs in the
fascinating, buttery brogue of the South coun
ties of Ireland. His first though he declares,
—only half detached from ha dreams, his
first thought was of the urandes eaux at Ver.-
sallies; his second thought was of his dressing
gown, and he made for it; his third thought
was of the contraltos,—and he pulled off his
night-cap and ran his fingers through his
hair. Then flying to the casement, he saw
them, up and down the vista of the
street—two files of laughing naiads
the nymphs of Raphael, with grand
arms, grand busts, and small, thought
less heads, all engaged at some aquatic cere
monial among crossing fountains that spouted
from the mouths of enormous serpents of hose.
It was the play of giants. It was a race of
titanesses, armed with a deluge. The long
red lines of houses, declared our friend, ran
rivers of pure, sweet water. The crimson
pavements shone at the bottom of pellucid
lakes, like the pools of red-coral islands; and
the cataracts from the house-Jronts-rebounded
and leaped from the foot-walks, and inter
laced everything in one crystal vision of
cascades, nereids,diamonds, and almond eyes,
limpid streams, dimpled elbows, skirts
of Fenian green tucked in between
round knees, actively-coiling serpents,
flying fountains, contralto brogue, brogans,
crystal, laughter and bliss, all down a mathe
matical perspective that ended in broad Dela
ware on one side and sweet Schuylkill on the
other. Completely carried out of himself,
our friend exclaimed, "c'est plus fort riue
moi,"—put on his best clothes and all his
x inge,—rushed wildly from the door,—ranged
excitedly up and down between two rivers
and under another—saw what he saw and
met what he met—and . confided his adven
tures to us on Sunday morning, in bed, his
head tied up, his things drying at the kitchen
fire, and a pitcher of flagbeed tea fuming be
side his pillow.
In no other metropolis of anything like
equal size can a custom so pretty, so distract
ing, so innocent, so scrupulous, be watched
as our impressible friend watched on May
day. In the great cities of Europe and of this
continent the thot•walk is regarded as a har
dened paste upon which you may "hoe your
row," not as a platter whereon you might cut
up a cake. Long may the port-city of the syl-

ads,retain the pure village custom that recalls
the times of yore—the early times when ruddy
Quaker girls, engaged in giving to the door
yards si purity like their own, blushed at the
salute. of the good Governor as he ambled by
on his cob. The city of privacy, of modest
and self-retired homes—the only city where
the goodman draws his curtains around hi n
and boasts that his house is, not his castle
but his paradise—may it long be the city
where the lady"s footsole shall be bright as
her cheek, and the citizen's daily walk as
stainless as his palm.
The street•cleaning question came up in the
City Councils on Thursday, and it was
promptly consigned to that convenient smoth
ering agency, a standing committee. In the
meantime, deep mud and garbage in wet
weather, stilling dust in dry weather, and the
sickening stench from the foul gutters and
choked inlets in all weathers. It is hardly
reagonab!e to expect that mud will cease to
be foul. that dust will fail to choke, or that
miasmatic odors will delay to attack sensi
tive constitutions during the deliberations of
the Committee on Cleansing. The condition
of the streets in many parts of the city la
simply scandalous, and from the utter feeble
ness of the means employed in grappling
with the evil, there is no probability of retie!
until long after the hot weather is fairly
upon us.
Lancaster City has always been a Demo
cratic stronghold. But at a municipal elec
tion held on Friday, the Republicans gained
nearly two hundred votes, and carried enough
members of councils to make a tie vote on
joint ballot. The Johnson organs have been
fond of pointing at borough and township
elections as showing Democratic gains ; but
they have not a word to say about the gieat
Republican gain in the city of Lancaster. It
is quite evident, however, that next fall Lan
caster county will give Grant such a majority
as it has never before given for any candi
date.
Last winter the BULLETIN criticised frankly
the vulgar acting of a performer in a bur
lesque opera played here by a New York
company. A second visit of the same com
pany is promised, and the manager has
sent word to the editor of this paper that if he
will give "favorable notices" of the per
formances, he will be authorized to print its
advertisements. This, then, is the mode that
"metropolitan" managers adopt to secure
favorable notices from the "provincial"
press. Of course such dictation cannot be
tolerated by any decent independent news
paper.
The newspaper business of Philadelphia is
rapidly concentrating in and about Chestnut
street, between Sixth and Seventh. The
Morning Post and the Evening ,Ytar have
just been moved into fine offices in the
large building lately occupied by Mr. S. R.
Phillips, 30 and 32 South Seventh street, and
they will both doubtless find great advantage
in the change, which has been made neces
sary by their increasing business.

Ifiveeial Despatch to the Philade. Evening lhaltetth,l
WPM.; mum's, May 4, 1868.—Within the past
two or three days a number of Senators have
been commencing the preparation of speeches to
be delivered during the deliberation of the Senate,
under the fifteen minutes rule. The greater num
ber construe the rules of the Senate as not per-
Editing them to speak longer than fifteen
minutes on all the articles, although on the con
clusion of Mr. Blnitham'a speech an effort will be
made to amend this rule so as to permit each
Senator to speak ten or fifteen minutes on each
article, but this will meet with great opposition,
and it is believed by many Senators that it can
not pass.
It seems Probable that Senator Edmunds, mo
tion to permit the official reporter to be present
during the deliberation will also be voted down.
as it would surely protract the debate . and delay
the verdict several days.
At no time since the commencement of the trial
bas there been such a demand for tickets as to=
day, to hear Mr. Bingham's speech. At an early
hour people commenced flocking to the Capitol,
and before the Court commenced nearly every
seat was occupied in the galleries. The diplo
matic gallery was also nearly filled. It is un
derstood that to-day will be occupied
by Mr. Bingham in examining the, law bearing
upon the ease, and to-morrow he will make his
orotorical effort, at the same time replying to
Mr. Everts's allusion to General Butler and him
self,and giving copious extracts from gr.Evarts's
speeches made at the time Johnson was swing
ing around the circle, in which he condemns the
President for such violent language. '

the German Turners of Lmerica,which alternate.s
with the national festival of the organization, is
held this year in this city, and is now in progress
in Turner Hall, 677 Washington street, the head
quarters of the Boston Turners.
Most of the delegates arrived on Saturday even
ing or Saturday morning, although a few reached
hero earlier than Saturday. They were taken in
charge by a committee of the Boston Turners
upon their arrival, and Saturday evening there
was an informal reception of such as had already
reached the city at Turner Hall.
There are delegates present at the session this
morning representing the New York, Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Boston, Wisconsin, Chicago, Wash
ington, Western New York, Philadelphia, New
Jersey, Hudson River,
Pittsburgh, Minnesota,

sented are those of northern Mississippi and
Savannah.
The officers of the Convention are: President,
Franz Ladkner, of Chicago, 'U.; Vice President,
Charles Kohn°, of Indianapolis, Ind.; Secretary,
Henry Huhn, of Washington.
The report of the Central• Committee gives
some facts regarding the growth of the Turner..
bund, and also of its present condition. Two
and a half years ago there were in the country
46 associations, with 3,200 members. There
are 'at—the present time 18 districts, which
include 148 associations, with 10,200 mem
bers. There are, in addition, the Pacific

nine associations with 600 members, and 23 asso
ciations not regularly connected with the na
tional organization, with 850 Members, thus
making the 7hole number of Turners in the
country nearly 12,000. The Convention will re
main in session till the middle of the week.

fairs :
UPPER A 111: ANS.I , 4 INDIAN AGENCY, FonT
LAns 11, lian as, April loth, 1868.—Mnt. The:wits

I have the honor to' state that I have lately re
turned from thr: Indict; camps of the Indians of
my agency, and found them all in a very , happy
and quiet state. I issued their subsistence to
them, and they appear well contented in
conAquence. I found them previous to
the provisions being Issued In a
very destitute condition and almost starving, the
hu Ml° having lett the country in which they were
ranging. They appeared well pleased with their
treatment by the general government in supply
ing them with provisions, and the effect has been
exceedingly good, ai d it is to be sincerely hoped
that this policy will be continued. It will do more
towards beeping them in a quiet state, make
them contented with their lot, and tend
towards civilizing them by weaning them
from their old habits, than any plan that could
be adopted. Most of the Indians of my agency
are coming north on the Pawnee Fork and *Wal
nut Creek, and will be in the neighborhood of
Fort Dodge and Fort Lamed this spring and
summer. There are various rumors sent oat
lately in regard to the Indians showing tenden
cies of hostility in this vicinity, all of which, I
beg, to inform the Department, are absolutely
false. Yours, respectfully,
G. W. Wymtoor, Indian Agent.
The Impeachment Trials
WASHINGTON, May 4.—After the reading of the
journal, Mr. Bingham commenced the final argu
ment for the prosecution, protesting that he took
part in these proceedings from no partisan feel
ing, but with a weighty sense of their solemnity
and true meaning. He proceeded to sketch
the events attendant on the assassination of
Mr. Lincoln and the accession of Mr. Johnson to
the Presidency. Referring to his oath to exe
cute. the laws, be spoke of their majestic
supremacy in our form of government,
and claimed that the President was equally still
yet to their authority with the humblest frontier
settler. He dwelt on the high trust committed
to the Senate, and . asserted that the issues of life
end death to the republic hung on their decision.
He asktd bow the charge of violating the su
preme law of the land was met by the counsel
who for hire defend the treason of the
criminal respondent. It was by the
outrageous assertion that each branch of the
Government had a right to judge of the consti
tutionality of the laws, and obey them or not at
pleasure. This was the defence made for His
Highness, the first King of our nation.
Mr. Bingham held that the Senate, by uphold
ing this proposition, would lay the foundation
for monarchy first, and anarchy afterwards—
a reign of chaotic darkness. On this issue,
which, in spite of lawyers' tricks and special
pleos, was the real question involved, this
decision must be made and they must stand
for trial by the people. He repeated that the
question was whether the President could be held
to answer for a violation of law. He held first,
that the Senate had sole power to decide every
question of law arising on the issue. They
were also the final arbiters, and the frequent at
tempts of counsel to bring the Senate and the
court in opposition were miserable devices to
divert attention.
He would not imitate the eloquent counsel
(Mr. Everts), who had shown himself an eater-up
of syllables, a snapper-up of trifles—who had
dispdayed more Latin than law, more rhetoric
than logic, and more intellectual pyrotechnics
than either. He also referred to the length of
Mr. Eyarts's speech by saying be tried to render
it immortal by making it eternal.
Mr. Bingham held simply that the Senate was
the supreme and final judicial tribunal of the
United States, and as to the argument which
bad been made at such interminable length
that the Supreme Court was the court of last
resort for decisions in constitutional ques
tions, he held that it had no more to do with
tne present question than the court of
St. Petersburg, and that the judgments of this
tribunal could not be affected by decisions of the
Supreme Court, made either before or after the
impeachment trial. He argued that the original
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court did not extend
to impeachment, and .that therefore their refer
ences to its decisions were irrelevant and their
arguments on this point without colorable
excuse.
. -
He then considered the proposition advanced
by the counsel, that Heads of Departments were
merely the registering secretaries of the Presi
dent, bound to do his will.
Reading from decisions of the Supreme Court
in cases quoted by Mr. Evarts, he claimed that it
was therein plainly laid down that such officers
were bound by the law, and not by the Presi
dent's will.
He also claimed that the other positions as
sumed by all the President's counsel, that he
could sit in judgment on the validity of the laws,
were overthrown by decisions of the same tribunal
thirty years ago, which decisions had never been
since in question, and proceeded to read extracts
from them.

The Impeachment Trial.
Speciai Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
WastimnTex, May 4.—Mr.Bingliam said he wag
not to be diverted from the case by the wit of the
counsel from New YorklMr. varte) who held
his own side's to keep from laughing at his own
wit. Mr. Evarts was a living being, who believed
that the best way to make a speech immortal
was to make It eternal, and this had been done.
Mr. Bingham made such allusions to Judge Cur
tis and Mr. Groesbeck as to create considerable
amusement in the Senate Chamber, which the
Chief Justice also seemed to enjoy.
rEORRESI'ONDEN('E OI TIIE AMOCIATED
He further asserted that the Attorney-General
was wholly inexcusable in attempting to force
into this trial as an authority the decision of the
present presiding officer in the Mississippi case,
and argued that it had no relevancy whatever to
the question in dispute. He claimed that it was
proved that we could not allow the President dis
cretion as to which law he would execute
without internolating' words into the Constitu
tion. Ile referred to the action of Washington
in Euppressing the Whisky Insurrection, and
that of Jackson in crushing out Drulittleatitin, as
instances in which obnoxious laws were executed
by Presidents who entertained grave doubts of
their constitutionality. He also spoke of the
acquiescence of the American people in the
unconstitutionality of the iniquitous fugitive
slave law, until its abolishment, and in this con
nection dwelt at length on the subject of slavery,
with its various characteristics. He spoke of the
counsel's references to Mr. Lincoln, hi sayin
that he had violated the laws of his country and
furnished precedents for Johnson's crimes, as
bold, calumniating slanders on his memory. The
suspension of the habeas corpus was not made
by him, . but by the civil war, which
rendered it necessary. In regard to the passage
of the Indemnity act, he said the purpose of Con
gress in such legislation was to furnish authority
to the courts to dismiss cases brought against the
President's agents for what they had done in pur
suance of the Constitution. if their acts had
been unwarranted, the Indertmity laws would
have been of no avail.
The Court then took a recess.

The Explosion of the Propeller Gower.
nor t MILIIIIIIIIIII at Buffalo-The 'PDX.
ticulars of the Loss-Thirteen Killed
and Three Wounded-The Lost, the
Paved. the Missing - flemarkuble
'Escapes.
By telegraph we published Friday the facts of
the explosion of the Propeller Governor Cush
man of Buffalo and the loss of eleven lives
thereby.. The fuller particulArs by mail give the
following additional facts:
The Governor Cushman belonged to Cleveland,
and is one of the Belle City Line. She was
owned by Dwight Scott, Esq., of Cleveland; was
built in the latter place in 1857; rebuilt in 1863;
was of 687 tone register, and valued at $35,000.
Her hull was partly insured in this city in the
Home and yEtna offices for $lO,OOO, and is snp
poSed to be partly insured in Cleveland.
Her cargo, consisting of 21,600 bushels of
wheat, was insured in the Western of this
city, $10.000; Security, New York, $lO,OOO, and
Home, New York, $21,000. Messrs. Rounds and
Hall, insurance agents in this city, held a $1,500
policy on the freight. There seems to be con
siderable doubt as to whether the insurance
companies are responsible for the loss on the
bull occasioned by explosion of the boilers. The
Governor Cushman's boilers were last inspected
at Cleveland, in July, 1867.
That the direct cause of the explosion was a
defect in the boiler is plain. As yet no facts to
explain in detail the reason are known. The
Governor Cushman arrived in Buffalo on Thurs
day, from Milwaukee. The explosion occurred
at 1 o'clock A. M., Friday morning. The vessel -
was in front of Sturges's elevator at the time, and
was just hoisting anchor to go to Port Clerborne,
Canada. Just before the catastrophe, the
Captain was standing on the wheel-house,
and within were the two wheolamen,
Thomas Farrel and Thomas J. Franey. The en
gineer, 11. S. Gilbert. and the assistant engineer,
Joseph Gray, were at their poets. as were most of
the deck-hands. Several of the officers and crew,
however, wee quietly sleeping. Thu winding
proem had just been completed, and the bows of
the propeller were pointedfairly down the creek,
when a tremendous explosion from the engine
room stunned the ears of all on board.
The captain was lifted a foot or two in
the air, and knocked down by a piece of
falling wood; one of the wheelsmen, Freeny,
MB carried up to the top of the pilot house; the
first mate was stunned and knocked down sense
less. The second mate was blown to the rear of
the boat, and when be became sensible found
himself up to his knees in the cargo of wheat,
and falling timbers all over and around him; the
steward, Samuel Armstrong, asleep in his state
room, was rudely awakened, to find himself
buried under a pile of blankets and linen from a
bunk ever his head.
The following is a complete list of the officers
and crew who were on board at the time of the
disaster:
Captain—W. H. Thompson, Milwaukee.
First Mate—M. Morristp, Milwaukee.
Second Mate—Nicholas White, Detroit.
First Engineer—H. S. Gilbert, Milwaukee.
Second Engineer—Joseph Gray, Milwaukee.

Patrick Bresnahan, fireman. wounded in head,
front scalp severely cut; scalded and . system
shocked by the concussion; Joseph Grey, in
jured in ankle and system shocked by concus
sion.
The explosion left its marks in many places.
The front of Sturges's elevator was battered as if
it had withstood a severe cannonading. Oue
heavy piece of timber was lodged on the shed
over the dock, on the city side of the creek a dis
tance of several hundred feet. Another large
piece was thrown on the top of the Commercial
Hotel, on the corner of Main and Ohio streets. A
part of the rigging of the bark Sardinia, lying
opposite, was cut away. Many windows were
broken by the concussion, among these some in
the office of the Western Insurance Company.
Thesiolse was heard a long way up town,.and the
concussion rattled windows more than a mile
from the scene of the disaster.
