A Proper Rebuke.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin: On Friday morning last, as David Paul
Brown, Esq., rose to address the jury on behalf of
the defendant, in the case of the Commonwealth vs.
Kerselier, charged with murder, he perceived that
two of the jurymen had their logs stretched out
higher than their bodies, with. their dirty
boots resting upon the railing that separated the
jury box from the Bar. Mr. Brown, before emu-
Mencing his speech, addressing these two jurymen,
said, "Take down your feeti sirs. I come.here to
speak to men's heads, or their hearts, and not to
their feel ; and will submit to no such indignity in a
court of .justice, when the life of an individual is at
stake, for decency is a part of the law." The feet,
of course, dropped at once, and an apology was
'node. This was a merited' rebuke from the coun
sel, and a bold ono, too, as it was directed to two of
the very body who were to decide the prisoner's fate.
Mr. Brown, throughout his career, has always en
deavored to sustain the respect due to the profession
and the dignity belonging to judicial proceedins,
and we are sure that his action on this occasron
would not only meet with the fullest approbation of
the Bar and the Bench, but of the entire community.
sir, truly yours,
Kay 22, 1514.
FLOWERS I'Olt THE PARLOR AND G - ARDYN.
Now that the spring sun isonoving into life and
blossom the newcomers in another floral cam
paign, we cannot in justice omit to call the atten
tion or our lady readers to a very beautiful vOiltrae
which was published In the dead of winter for their
especial benefit. This book itself is a flower—a gem
of typographical beauty. Certainly no handsomer
guile-boat: for the cultivation of flowers has over
Leon published in thiS country. It is as fresh and
pleasant to look upon as aro the arbutus blossoms
which are now putting- forth 'their white and pink
bells in token of spring. Mr. Edward Rand, Jr.,
could not have put his name upon a more memora
ble page than upon the title-leaf of his exquisite
book upon the culture of flowers. No space is occu
pied with useless poetical quotations and rhapso
dleg, but everything is plain; practical, and valua
ble.: It is just what it professes to be—a guide-book
for the garden. Every lady can own it, and feel as
sured that she is,
for one, favoring nothing of poll
ties, war, or sensation literature. She has that which
Can make everyone happier and the world brighter.
Of course, those ladies who aro too exquisite to cul
tivate dowers will not care for its instructions, but
every true woman who would make home pleasant
er, more genial and cheerful, and herself more re
fined in the highest sense of the word, will welcome
any help in tho culture of her flowors.—The- Round
Table.

tions approved.

RESIDENCES OP BISHOPS.
The Committee on Episcopacy presented their report
relative to the Union Chapel, Cincinnati, and other
matters. They reported a resolution requesting the
bishops to distribute their residences over the territories
of the Church.
Rev. Dr. Beck strongly advocated the adoption of the
report. lie alluded to the difficulty of organizing the
Work on the Pacific coast without a guide.
Rev. Dr. Peerne could not find language to illustrate
the magnitude of their interests• on the. Pacific coast.
We need official supervision. Some of the bishops have
spent weeks in the Oregon Conference, but what we
need is some one to have authority to lay out large
plans and arrange the work. He had looked with tear
- eyes upon the rise and spread of the BOMAR Chdrch on
these shores. lie thought one of the two secretaries
that had just been elected should spend at least twelve
months in that field.
Rev. Dr. Trimble also favored the report, and
thought they should have all the help the Conference
could. give.
Rev- Dr. Pearne offered a resolution that one of the
bishops, if practicable, should reside on the Pacific
coast.
Rev. J. R. Miller thought this Conference had a right
to say to their bishops they should distribute their labors
and influence all over tb e world. This was not asking
- too much. It is the duty of this Conference to atke such
action, and they should do so. The bishops are the ser
tants of the Church, and they should reside where its
interests should be rttended . to, and properly.
A motion was made to postpone indefinitely the
amendment
Rev. B. N. Spahn, of Ohio, thought that, if the re
port was adopted, one of the bishops would reside on
the Pacific coast. Re did not agree with the amend.
went, 'as it looked too much like confining their bishops
to one locality.
Rev. Dr. Peck, of California, said the original report,
-
Without amendment, was :satisfactory to hun. He did
not wish their usetulness taken out of the general work
in any way whatever.
The tunendment was Withdrawn, and the report
passed finally.
Some discussion here ensued in regard to going into

Bishop Ames in the chair.
A motion was made that the election for editor of the
Christian Advocate be postponed until Tuesday morn
ing next. It was contended that the time for canvassing
had not been sufficient.
The election yesterday of the new bishops have made
it necessary for the General Conference to select editors
for three of the most popular periodicals of the Church,
Which have been vacated by their election, namely: tae
Christian Advocate and Journal, the Ladies' Reposi
tory, and the Western Christian Advocate.
After some debate the previous question being called,
the election for the Christian Advocate was postponed
tlll Tuesday.

cate, and, there being no other candidate, was unani
mously elected by acclamation.

other, the transfer of white ministers to said Conference
1 or Conferences, where it maybe practicable and deemed
necessary.
3. Resolved, That our General Missionary- Society be

those of Princeton, Newark, Now York, and Brook
lyn. Besides the interest naturally attached to suck
matches, the fact that those are the first games
played under the new rules of base ball, imparts a
degree of interest to theM likely to attract hundreds
of ball-players from the country towns, desirous of
being made familiar with the' proper definition of
the amended rules of the game. That this is a fea
ture of the series of games is shown by the fact that
the noted ball-player and umpire, Mr. P. O'Brien,
of the Atlantic Club, of Brooklyn, has been invited
to net as umpire in those games, and ho will officiate
in the position on Wednesday. Aside from those
considerations, however, there is the ono great at
traction that should induce a crowded assemblage
on each day's play, viz : the proceeds are to gO to aid

by all.

'Verdict Relative to the Steam-Boiler Ex
plosion at Messrs. Cornelius &Baker's
Itl IraCtory .
In accordance with your (Coroner Taylor's) instruc
tions we, yourjurymen, have examined carefully the
premises of Messrs. Cornelius & Baker, on Cherry
Street; the scene of tho late 'disastrous explosion ;. have
heard the testimony of the witnesses brought before no,
and, having exercised our bestjudgment iii the conside
ration of the ease, are now prepared to render our ver
diet, prefacing it by a staMmout of the loots as presented
to us, and detailing our deductions from
.all the evi
dence variously FlCCUuiltlatOti.
The boilers which exploded *bra designed and. built
by Messrs. Morgan & Orr, of Philadelphia, and had'
been iu use about two and a half years. There were
two of these boilers set side by side, but working inde
pendently of each other; of these the one towards the
south was built and put in operation a few weeks before
the ether, , which we may call the north boiler. Each of
these boilers consisted of three parts, or three cylindri
cal boilers, placed horizontally one above the other, and
- called, in the order of their superpositio the mud-drum,
at the bottom, then the tithe-drum,and on top the steam
drum. The mod-drum was,toick4th.c.-grale bars, and.
was 24 inches diaMeter aiulflVJ . The tube-
drum extended over the diame
ter and 10 feet long. 'The3teal - 1X - ;'t.' o 's -7, - , vo.:niches in
diameter and 14,%." feet long. The wd :lido. was at the
middle - of the the sleam-drum, which tw_ab-thcrefore
half full of water; the tube-drum and iniid;diatlielowts.il
this were, of course, Mended to contain Witiet , 44'
The mud-drum was connected with the tube= rnikti
one neck 12 inches in diameter and 12 incites long; Whin:
the tube-drum was connected with the steam-druneb - *
four necks each 12 inches in diameter and 8 inches long.
The tube-drum contained cis tubes of wrought iron
each 3 lushes internal diameter, running from end to
end; through these the firs passed, the water surround
ing them. There were thus left water spaces between
tha tubes themselves and between the outer row of tubes
and the shell of the boiler of only 1 inch in each case.
The fire from the - furnace was made to pass un
der the tube-drum and over the mud-drum to the
:back end of the former, then returned through the
tubes of the Jube-druin to the front of the boiler, and
then passed over the upper half of the tube-drum and
under the steam-drum to the chimney.
Water was supplied to the boilers by a No. 5 Giffird
injector, through pipes passing from the front of the
boiler to the back of- the mud-drums, which' they en
tered at the lowest part. Water tray supplied to each
boiler separately, and cocks were arranged to control
the filling of each boiler independently: There was no
water connection from boiler to boiler other than - these
feed-pipes, which in practice were not used to connect
the boilers, but each one was fed separately.
The steam was taken from the front ends of the steam
drums by cast-irou pipes. To each boiler over the pipe ,
was attached a safety-valve, and the steam passed to
the engine through a single pipe, but could be controlled
by both cocks, so as to enable each- boiler to be washed
independently of the other. To determine the water
level, each boiler was supplied with three try-cocks:
one at the working water level—i.e. at the centrwbf the
stetun-drumone four incites above, and another four
inches below this point. There were no.other means of
observing the water level beside these cocks: and the
lowest-of them stood nine feet from the door, and could
only be reached by means of a rod- or by climbing up
The firm seem - to have placed great reliance upon
steam pressure gauges, one of which WRS situated in
their office in a conspicuous place, while the other was
near the engine; but so far removed from the boilers
that it could not be seen by the engine tender when he
was at• the boilers, the engine and boilers being at
least fifty feet apart. Thus the engine tender had no
means of judging as to his steam pressure when work ,
'
lug at or near his boilers.
From the evidence presented to us we learn that seine
three months mevious to the explosion, the mud-drum
under bite south boiler was found to leak in one of its
cast-iron heads and was consequently remoyed and sent
to Messrs. Morgan & Orr for repairs. But upon exami
nation, they (finding , the iron very thin from corrosion)
notified Cornelius & Baker of . the fact, and the firm or-.
dered a new mud drum to be put up in place of the old
The mud-drams of both boilerswere said to have been
made from pieces of boilers which had been previously
in use for two years, butwhich were considered to be
in good condition, and, in the opinion of the builders,
better than new iron. We are surprised that, at the
time of the substitution of the new drum, there was no
rigid examination into the condition of the mud-drum
under the north boiler, which was also made of old
iron, and bad been in use nearly as long as the one
which had given out.
The mud-drum under the north boiler at the time of
the explosion was therefore about the same age, or had
been in use' about as long as the old mad-drum under
the south boiler, and after the explosion was found to
be very badly corroded on the inside, the iron in some
places being less than one-sixteenth of an inch in thick
ness • this in places where there seemed to have beenno
outside' rusting of the drum. The outside was also found
to be much corroded in parts which had been in contact
with. the -
The engine -tender bas been examined, and seems to
understand his business, and no testimony has been
submitted to US that would in the least deoTee tend to
show any habitual neglect of his duties, Int, on the
contrary, his character for sobriety and close. applica
tion to his work seems fully substantiated. -
From his testimony, corroborated by that of other
witnesses, we learn that on the morning of the explo
sion he was behiudhand with his steam, which was
not up to its working pressure when the engine was
started.
He was- not putting any water into the boiler at the
time of the explosion, nor for some time before. The
only testimony we have of the height of the water at
this time, is from the engine -tender himself. He states
that he bad a full supply of water, and that ho tried
the cocks just before leaving the holler room. Other
witnesses were in the boiler-room a few minutes previ
ous to the explosion, and had there been any water
indicator which could have given a visible indication
of the water level, their testimony would have been of
the greats st value.
The engine -tender was away from his post at the time
of the explosion, and no competent man had been left
in his place. The only instructions were to a workman
in the stamping-room near by, to watch the steam
gauge,:which was in the engine-room, out of sight of
the iJoilers, as before mentioned, and your jury do not
think that the man to whom the direction was given
was a competent person to take charge of the boilers
In the absence of any evidence of- gross neglect on the
part of the engine-tender, - and assuming that the water,
was at its - proper height fete minutes before the ex
plosion, and that the steam pressure was moderate, as
was proved by many witnesses, we must direct our at
tention to the probably weak parts of the boiler, in
looking for the cause of its disastrous explosion.
The mud-drum under Old north boiler has shown it
self to be less than 1-16th of an inch in parts which did
not break; and was presumably weaker in parts de
stroyed by the rupture. No one can maintain for an
instant that it was inn fit condition to bear the ordinary
working pressure: .
We believe that this was the first part to give out, but
as the bursting of a mud drum does not always cause
an explosion of the boiler, and as thh violent explosion
in this case seems - to, have occurred in the 'tube-dram of
this north boiler ; which was literally torn to pieces, we
must infer that, as the water fell, by reason of this pri
mary rupture in the mud-drum, to a dangerous level,
the water was driven away from the tubes by excessive
ebullition; that thus some of theLtubes being bare and
unduly heated, the water temporarily:driven awa re
turned, and coining upon the heated tubes, caused the
explosion.
-
We believe the explosion of the south boiler to have
been the result of injuries inflicted by the bursting of
the north boiler.
.
With regard to the form of the boiler and its liability
to explosion, your jury believe, from the weight of the
expert evidence brought before them, that this form of
boiler is not safe, and t hat, ll.by excessive firing and even
moderately low water, (we mean before the water has
fallen so as to uncover any of the tubes,) the water can
he driven away front parts of the tubes, laying them
bare fur a time; and that, upon any slacking of the fire
and the return of the water upon the tubes, au undue
stra;n will be brought to bear on the boiler.
We think that the boiler is constructed on erroneous
principles, for the following reasons: Granting that the
cylindrical form of each part gives strength, the cylin
ders are materially weakened by the holes made for the
connecting necks. •
We hold, too, that - the mode of applying the heat Is
entirely wrongg. The greatest heat of the tire comes in
contact with the under side of the tube-drum at its front
end; it then, at a gradually decreasing temperature,
passes upward in the system through the tubes, and
thus through the very water put in motion by the in
tense heat at the lower part of the tube-drum, and final
ly passes away in contact with the steam-drum above.
The capacity of water to take up heat from the products
of combustion is, as we know. proportional to the dif
ference of temperature in favor of the latter. In other
words, water at eighty degrees can take up more heat
from products of combustion at three hundred degrees
than water at three hundred degrees can.
To use the heat, thi refore, to the best advantage, the
products of combutien should be made so to pass through
the boiler system as to bring the gradually-cooling
gases in contact successively with cooler portions
of the water. We express this opinion only
to show that we do -not think this boiler has
any claim for economy to compensate for its com
plicated form ; and we judge that a single cylinder
boiler, partly filled:with tubes; With the water-line in
the same cylinder, would beat - once safer and more
economical than this form of boiler. -We are aware
that many of these boilers are in use, and we would
urge the greatest caution in their management: They
may be moderately safe when the boiler capacity is
large as - compared with the work to be done, but are
not safe where the consumption of steam requires heavy
firing to keep up the pressure. Living as we do among
steam boilers, knowing_ that in our most crowded.
thoroughfares they are under the very pavements, it is
clue to the safety 01 the community that strict municipal
surveillance shduld be kept over the condition and the
structure of the boilers used. We would, therefore, in
the strongest terms, urge the action of the authorities in
reference to the use of steam. There seems now to be
no system of inspection in existence. Any form and
any condition of boiler may be put in use, and when an
explosion occurs,
the fact that so many similar boilers
have not exploded shields from blame those who would
justly be held accountable fur the, destruction caused.
Messrs. Cornelius it Baker are, like thousands' of
others usingsteam power,' not professional engineers;
they therefore depend upon the advice of others in - re
gard to all matters connected with their steam generat
ing apparatus. Their responsibility would seem to rest
with the choice of advisers and with their close super
vision of those under them in responsible positions.
We believe tuna they have in the latter case been-care
ful in selecting an engine tender, and watchful over his
actions; we can find no "testimony to impeach the so
briety or competency of this engine tender; but we be
lieve he bus not made as and as frequent exam
ination of the internal condition of the mad-drum as he
should have done; but in this he is not singular; . we
have beard, and are hearing daily since this explosten,'
of mud-drums-giving out in various parts -of the city,
and the warning has led to an examination of others
which, alchdughlhey have not exploded, are too thin
to be safe. -
All this points to the necessity of some reform in the
laws regalating,the use of steam; competent inspectors,
free from all political influence, should be in charge of
the matter, withpower to call on the best engineering
talent of the country for advice ,• and laws should be
passed regulating the number and . character of danger
indicators which should be attached to each boiler, as
is customary in France aud other countries.
For the safety of our citizens it has been found neces
sary to provide building inspectors, and to pass laws
governing the thickness of walls and the arrangement
of buildinge ? but no law is :brought to. Itear - upon the
regulation ol steam power.
The sooUer this redone the better for tbo community
at large.
We therefore render the following verdict: That on
the 25thof April, 1564, William Bartholomew, Alfred
Schaffer, iiarnuel . "'Rive., Thomas IL Albertson, George
iless ' J. L. Snyder, John Porter; and Anthony S. Fry,
came. to their death -by reason of injuries inflicted by
the explosion of _a steam boiler in the establishment of
Moser& Cornelius & Baker, Cherry street,bolow Ninth,
Philadelphia, the primary cause of said explosion being
the weakness of a part of the boiler known as the mud
drum. -

The Commonwealth vs. Lawrence Carrell: The -de
fendant was indicted for the murder, on, the 28th of Octo
ber last, of Anthony , McKinney, and was tried Saturday.
The allegation of the Commonwealth was that in the
morning, at about six o'clock on the day of the killing,
the defendant was rapidly , driving a cart down a:lane,
near Point Breeze, to a brick yard, and the deceased,
quite an old man, being in the roadway, was driven over
by him and killed. But two or three witnesses were
examined by the Commonwealth, neither of whom ap
peared to haVe witnessed the accident or could testify
that it was defendant's cart that was driven over de
ceased;'for there WAS another cart driven - by some one
else at an equally rapid rate about afty yards ahead.
All that was proven was that after the two: carts had
- passed McKinney -was discovered lying in the road
*ad or in a dying condition. No coroner's inquest
:semis to have been held for no testimony was offered to
':show the character of the injuries which produced
death.
' For the defence no witnesses were called, and the case,
under the instructions of the Court, was given to the
