The Late Explosion.
PHILADBLPHEA, April 7, 1864,
:lo the Editor of The Press.
STE : Again the whole community has been startled
by the announcement of the terrific explosion which
took place yesterday at the establishment 'of Mar.
rick & Sons in this env, and the inquiry Of thou.
sands is, Why is this 7 what can be the cause of
these repeated explosions? and that, too, at the
very place of all others where one would suppose
every precaution would be brought into use to pre
vent such tearful 101111 of life and destruction of pro
perty. and the thought which presents itself to
the mind of every reflecting man in the community
is this t If the scientific attainment and engineering'
skill of such men as the Messrs. Merrick and J. P.
Morrie, Town & Co., (at whose establishment a
similar explosion took place a short time ago), Win"
not furnish a reasonable and common-sense expiates
,
Lion of the causes at work producing these fearful
respite, what guarantees have the thousands en
gaged in the various manufactories in tills densely
populated city, and who could he expected to Under•
stand or estimate the hourly danger attending, the
use of steam and the Maul engine, as these ex
perienced and scientific gentlemen are supposed to
be capable of doing I What guarantee, I ask, have
they of their own safety ? and the question comes
home to every individual as one , of great practical
importance Why is not a thorough investtgation
made as to the causes producing these results?
It has been too often the case that the jury chosen
to investigate these explosion; in order, it may be,
to hide their own ignorance, have returned fl was
going to ..y) the stereotyped verdict .• That the ex
&MOIL was the result of the reeklessner, care
lessness, or incompetence of the engineer," &C.
Now, Messrs. Editors, these stereotyped verdicts are
becoming too common They may answer for the
proprietors of the establishment, whose only loss is
the destruction of property, which the large profits
accumulating from their business will soon restore,
but what is to make up for the desolation and heart
rending sorrow of the bereaved families of these
unfortunate men, whose lives have been samilleed,
and whose only means of support has been thus sud
denly are unexpectedly removed? No; let us have
a full and thorough investigation of all the fasts
and lei the question, Did the 55-pound pressure
which this boiler is reported in the morning papers
to have been carrying, produce these results I be an
swered ; and it the answer is no, as it must be, by
every thinking man, let us know what the agent is
Which does produce these terrible disasters, in order
that we may, if possible, guard against them in the
future ; and let not the barrha7ittg families of these
poor, unfortunate men be robbed of the only thing of
real value left to them, the reputation of those they
lore. and who are now incapable of stating facts
which would undoubtedly vindicate them from the
vain and cruel charges of " incompetency or care..
I.:htness " The public demands this, md Will not
be satisfied with anything short of an investigation
as will be an honor to the men appointed on the jury.

The Recent nailer Explosion at /ffessics
Merrick & Co 's b oundry.
Te investigation In the cause of tbe explosion of
the stiancboiler at the foundry of Mr. S. V. Mer
rick k Co., wee commenced yesterday by thejury at
the Central Station.
The attendance, mostly workmen in the foundry,
was pretty large. Coroner Taylor occupied the ma
gisterial chair, and the jury were arranged in semi
circular form in front of the bench.
Alongside the Coroner satitlr. John D. Fenner, ex
-o Droner. whoprompted certain questions that were
asked, and It is presumed that the replies of the
witnesses were entirely satisfactory. The reports
freely circulated, to impair the good name of Messrs.
Merrick & Co. and to disparage the official charae
ter of the unfortunate engineer, Mr. McLoughlin,
who was instantly killed, were proven false when
tested by the plain truth. The oUtetiell that never
fall to attend any popular excitement are not relia
ble; it is only in the calm momenta of sober judg
ment that the truth can he elicited, and this is ex
actly what the public demand as their right.
Coroner Taylor, in regard to this deplorable disas
ter, is determined to have the affair thoroughly
investigated, and he has on his jury some of the nest
acknowledged scientific men in the city. We gave
the names of the jury yeater,!ay, but we here rein
sert them
Professor J. F. Frazer; Profesaor Henry Norton;
John Agnew, machinist; Jonathan Chapman, re
tired machinist; Coleman Seders, Esq. ; Gavin H.
Woodward, Esq.
J. V. Merrick, upon being called to the stand,
was addressed by the Coroner as follows:
Mr. Merrick, I particularly desire you to be exa
mined as a witness in reverence to the explosion, as
it is our intention to give the sunject a most tho
rough and calm investigation, in order to arrive at
the zeal mine of the disaster, and to prevent, if pos•
eible, any recurrence of Duch a calamity.
Mr. Merrick was now sworn.—l live at Roxbo
rough, and am one of the firm of Merrick & Co. ; I
don't know that I can give such evidence as you
may emire • Mr. B. 11. Bartel, the general superb:L..
tetident 01 the estebliebuitist, gen give you all the ins
formation 3ou may desire.; I wai not at the foundry
at the time of the explosion; I am aware that some
it struetions had been given to test the strength of the
boiler, and it war found to sustain a pressure of 90
petunia; the boiler leaked in one part, and some in
struction had been given in reverence to it; a request
Was made to bring the pretteita up to GO pounds

previously tested with hydraulic pressure pumps.
The lei - toffs now gave a description of the con.
simeiton of the boiler, the num: er of sets of bracea,
end hot: , they were arranged. Roth the boilers, the
old a.d new one, were in action on Saturday; the
leektee in the new boiler was observed when the
water was put into it in the h. at place; the leak was
discovered to be back of the leg of the boiler, where
four pieces of iron had been riveted together; I un•
dersteod that the boiler had commenced leaking on
the day of the explosion; I saw the boiler in action,
or working, the day before; the leak was where the
lire passed; we have built three or four of these boil.

the day before the explosion there was a pressure
on this boiler of from fifty live to :sixty pounds;
I had heard some talk of the old boiler ' sonic.
thing like a complaint. when only fifty pounds
of steam were on; never heard any complaint
newof the boiler about fifty pounds of dent; the
new toiler wee made out of three eighths iron, of
the best quality ; . never saw any indication of the
new boiler foaming ; we teat all our iron used in the
foundry, sometimes by a machine made expressly for
the purpose; we are always very particular in this;
iron in quality runs very irregu fain in reference to
the iron for stays and rivets, we are always very
particular in obtaining the very best; there are
some makers who make this kind of iron a special
ty; the testing of the new boiler was done under the
supervision of Mr. Greenfield, the foretnan of tae I
botierrhop; it is a certain thing that no one ex
pected anythieg like an explosion; there was
a ereet deal of care exercised in making the
boiler; the old boiler was run for seven years at a
pressure of 70 pounds- the old boiler did not show
any evidence of weakness, but it wee thought, as a
cautionary measure, that a new:one should be made,
and therefore one was made in November last espe
cially for our own use.
At this stage of the proceedings ex-Coroner Fen
ner had a plicate whisper with Coroner Taylor, -
after which the latter propounded a few questions,
elicited answers as follows:
• .
By Coroner Taylor• "Who had charge of the
boiler and engine 1"
Witness Daniel McLoughlin was the engineer;
he was the water. tender and assistant engineer
tinder the former engineer, Mr. Nichols; 1 believe
that :fin Nichols, the former engineer, left there
some time since; Mr. McLoughlin was perfectly fa
miliar with the working of the boiler, hazing miffed
in this capacity for a year ; I do not know why Mr.
Nichols left ; in fact, I knew nothing about it ; the
foreman of toe shop, Mr. Denby, has charge of the
men ; it was the business of Mr. McLoughlin, in an
assistant capacity, to see that the fire and water
were kept up ; it is the business of the engineer to
attend to the engine and the shafting, to see that
they are kept in running order; Mr. McLoughlin
bad been attending to this business for a year ; the
boiler- house was always open to the foreman of the
establishment;.the boiler had the beat pressure
guages ; persons who had business there could go
In and out or the boller.house at all time,; the en
gineer entered our place about a year since, and was
employed by the foreman of the maohine-ahnla
William H. Merrick sworn.—l was not at the
foundry when the explosion occurred ; Daniel Mc.
Loughlin was the engineer ; the boiler did not come
tinder my official notice ; my business is hammer-
Mal the hiring or employing of the men come under
the notice ol the foremen of each shop ; I was aware
that a change had been made in the engineer. I can.
not say the precise day when Mr. Nichols left ; Mr.
McLaughlin had been in our employ two or three
times ; the last year he was employed In the boiler
house; I believe the change was made because the
engineer (Mr. Nichols) did nok like the wages given
hint, but I know nothing about it; this subject
rests with the foreman of the shop, Mr. Danby ;
from all that I know or have seen of Mr. McLough
lin I should consider him competent to set as en
absence be had taken care of the engine during the
of Mr. Nichols, I have been informed, but
I do not know of my own knowledge that he ever
had charge of the englnobefore.
John E. Cosworii.--/ am one of the firm of

engineer, was engaged in the foundry five years ago;
he came there as a laboring man, and acted in this
capacity for five, six, seven, or eight months ; he
then left; and I recommended him as an engineer to
Mr. Alexander Young; people in want of engineers
used to conic to the foundry, an.: if I had anybody
whom I thought woule suit, I used to recommend
that person ; I did so with Mr. McLoughlin; he also
ran a steam engine at Germantown • alsO on Pas

ea the reason why I recommended him ; he ran my.
own engine when the engineer was absent ; a year

Nichols • the bulginess had so much increased that I
thought'thla was necessary; considerable work was
being done fot.the Government, and I placed him in

Mr. Nichols was absent ; air. Nichols left the esta

raise the wages of all the men • there would be a
general rise in a short time ; that all hands would
receive an advance, and he, of course, would come in
for his abase in regard to this, I Will , say that
much night work had been done there, and the ar
rangement that, I was about making was that
the men should be relieved from working at night. and
receive the same pay working only in daylight; no de
mand was ever made of Mr Merrick for raising the
wages; men would sometimes neat me about en ad

quently go before seven o'clock. and make the examina
tion; I never knew the water to foam; the last thing 1
saw in the boiler house was the firing of the old boiler;
I left, and in about fi.e minutes the explosion occurred;
Mr. McLoughlin never acrid that he could -not run the
engine: he used to say sometimes that the duties were
pretty arduous; he never requested me to vet anotody to
take kte place; I employed Air Nichols ten years ago; I
do not think the leak was sufficient to put out the fire; I
should irides, from the clicking of the pump. there was
a hit flow of water on; theta was about 65 pounds of
steam prreqire on; I think the leak was not so much bat
that the PUMP could overcome it; in fact. when Mr. Mc-
Loughlin and myself examined the leak, he said he
could ran the boiler that day, and the change could be
made at edgbt; but I said nn, he had batter make fleece
in the old boiler. and be aid so: the steam-gauge on the

foreman of the boiler shop. who first called my atten

goods. The plaintiffs are dealers in hides, and re
side in New York. Defendants are trustee, under
a domestic attachment of a tannery, fOrmerly owned
by Justus Howell, in Northampton county, Pa. As
such they sold the contents of the tannery. Plain
tiff, claim that, among the property taus sold as
Mr. Howell's, were several hundred hides, which
belonged to them, and were only in the possession
of Howell to be tanned under a contract between
them and him. It is now sought to recover the va
lue of this property, which is stated to be between
three and four thousand dollars. The contract be
tween the parties reads as follows :
"M. Mattison & Co. agree to furnish Justus
Howell too city slaughter hides at the market price.

"New YORE, March 17, 1861.”
. The question raised by this instrument is whether
its provisions are to be construed as a contract of
sale, as defendants contend it is, or as an employ
meet to tan bides into leather for a compens ation
to be determined be the di ff erence between the cost
of the bides and their value when turned into lea

meaning of the instrument, and that it should be so
construed.

Mr. WEranium. (U) thought it was the intention of
the Committee on Water to sive the p:ople of Kensing

Sch ItYlkUl water, and, therefore, would not vela for the
ordinance.
Mr. ZANE (17 ) said something must be done for the
benefit of that portion of the city. It is admitted that
the Schn) lkill water cannot be introduced into the Dela
ware works in lets than two years. Why, then. should
He hesitate about expendingmio.tooto give them pare
water during the interval, which ran he obtained from
the middle of the river opposite the works? Last year
no Isme than two hundred t aeons died there from the
effects of the impurities ariticg from the water, and are
that many more lives to be sacrificed this yea?
Dr. UHLER (11) though the city was swirdling the
citizens in that neighborhood by charging th em for
Water when they do not get it. He believed. as a
chemist. that by the introduction of the stand pipe int,
the centre of rhe river, good water can be obtained sand
to that to the Schuylkill river. The later river is trete
ric rating every day. Which is caused by the action of
the waste coal on the lime beds. , He thought the °ele

The poems ate ail good; ti e metrmat flow. in all cases,
being musical and graceful, wails the play of fancy is
liberal and elegant Most of the poems are of short oc-

by its author. Mr Peterson's volume deserves to have
many readers. _
[From Arthur's Home Magazine
There lea test of true poetry which most of the pieces
in this volume will bear: you may read them a second
time with an increasing interest The author's fancy is
chastened by reflection. and he strives to make along the
elmnenceof troth. We speak advisedly when we say
that Mr. Peterson has given use volume of poems with
better and more enduring attain it than ia to be found
in two•thirds of the new books of poetry that have ap•
