THE . ARSENAL DISASTER
Continuation of the Coroners
Investigation.
On Monday morning the jury of inquest
on the late tragedy at the arsenal assem
bled at Robinson's Hall, Lawrenceville,
and proceeded with the examination of
witnesses. The following testimony was
adduced!
Mary O'Rourke testified that she was
employed in the storehouse When first
heard the explosion, thought it was a can
non"; ""saw the smoke, and ran towards the.
stairs; could nut get out; the girls said
the door was locked; saw Mr. Clowes in
;he middle of the room trying to pacify
the girls ; went to the elevator, saw three
girls going down out of the room; the
opo was then dic and no more Could go
down • went back to the stairway, and
found' no way of getting down; it was
then reported glitelie rebels weregoing to
blow us all up; went again to the door.
found a tope and got down on the outside
of the building on the upper side, falling;
after I felt able got up and want towards
the burning building; met a gentleman,
who told me to get back, as the magazi ne was
going to be blown up; know nothing about
the cause of the explosion.
[la explanation-of the first part of the
evidence of the next witness, it may be
proper to state that a meeting was held in
the borough on Saturday evening, at which
Lieut. J. It Edie was severely censured,
and resolutions passed requesting him to
leave the community. He was accused of
driving the people from the grounds on
the day of the funeral, and also with using
grossly obscene language concerning the
girls employed in the laboratory, while it
was burning.]
Lieu!. Jasper Myers, recalled—The
next day vfter the accident, I saw two
gentlemen in the grounds about 2 o'clock;
spoke to them; one of them said he was
the Burgess s asked him what arrange
ments were being made for the funeral; he
said, or I understood him distinctly, that
the procession would he formed in the
Street in front of the warehouse No. 2
understood him also to till me he wished
the Park cleared of people; saw Lieut.
Edie and told him this was the order from
the Burgess to have the Park cleared; we
went to the upper grounds, and, with een
tiuels; bleared she Park down to the lower
warehouser at that point there was quite a
crowd of people, some of whom did not
wish to go out; those persons who did
not wish to go out did Lot seem to have
lost any fiends, at least if they had, their
conduct was improper ; the Burgess at
tempted to pass the sentinels, and was
stopped by one of them in rather a rough
manner; as soon as I learned who he was,
I ordered them to let bins pass; Lieut.
Edie was some 20 or 30 feet distant and
seeing a Ci(l2Cll pass, as he supposed,
without authority, ho helloed to the senti
nels to put him out• ' l told him it was a
man who had a right to pass; he immedi
ately then said, "pass him, of course."
'There is an other matter respecting some
lisnguage reported to have been used by
Lieut. Edie, during the fire, of which I
should like to speak. I was with Lieut.
E. most of the time that day; don't recol
lect any word or expression of his which
was improper; we were together near
where the building - was burning. A gen
tleman came to ns, and said he had lost
two daughters in the fire. I think he gave
his name as Donahue, will not be certain
about that. He was at the time very con
siderably intoxicated. Ile and Lieut. E.
conversed for some considerable" time
while I was present. There was no ex
pres-ion shpt was improper made use of
on Lieut. E's part. I don't know whether
it would he proper to-give my opinion o
not. But my opinion is that the report is
utterly false.- maliciously so. On the even
ing of the fire, L e del a t Edie being
pri sent, as raisaieg officer, had supreme
command ut ail the sentinels there.
Lieut. Myers said Lieut. Edie would also
desire to make a statement about the mat
ter; bat the jury declined to hear anything
more of it, regarding the statement as al
together out of their province.
Was in the habit of visiting all the build
ings once a day; the laboratory oftener
than that. On the day of the accident
visited it twice--once made a thorough
investigation ; have been stationed at the
Arsenal since the Ist of July; some days I
did not visit the laboratory at all, because
of absence on other duty—for i nstance,
when testing guns at the proving ground;
received order of Col. Symington, dated
August 7th (read to jury), and inspected
oftener after receiving than before; when
I visited the rooms, saw that there was no
powder scattered loosely, and saw that the
work was going on reg lady; don't recoi
led hiving my attention called to, or seeing
powder scattered outside of the room, and
but two pr three days before the accident
gave special orders for greater care.
-
Think the accident was caused by
i igni
tion from the grating of the wheels n the
roadway. It mur have been caused by
abrasion of nails in the shoes ofpersons
employed. Mr. Mcßride is general super
intendent of the whole of that department.
It was Mr. Mcß.'s immediate business,
and mine as supervisor, to see to the re
moval—of ammunition and powder to and
from the magazine and laboratory. Know
not of any violation of the rules respect
ing these Baum by personal observation.
There were some instancei of careless put
ting 'up of ammunition at the laboratory
detected at Washington.: The order of
August '7th was perhaps awed by an in--
v esugation consequent.npon said careless
puttinetp - the amnintdtion;and the
detection of the fact that the frau were
not properly made.
James Thorp, Atisistiutt Saperietudent
of the laismatoryi testified that in tha at
keElei of Mr. illießride h wee esjoisedtio

-I.rll,ges ond_field ammunition Worn proper:
commenced, acting under instructions
from Sti.'Mcßride, also in 'relation to keep-
Mg the now cleeri;ll*.detailed:a force
Of Ibifs every morning for the special pur
pose of cleaning the porches and front of
the bitilding, about the roadway. On the
morning the accident occured he partic
ularly examined the roadway and the
ground in front of the porch; did not no
tice any powder or anything which might
cause an explosion. The - leads of each
department or room were-considered res
ponsible for negligence of duty or lack of
care in their respective rooms, as well as
the two officers who had special supervis
ion of the buildings., Under the instruc
tions of witness the sweepings from the
rooms were swept out upon a clean piece
of ground, free from stones, between the
porch and roadway, in all eases. It was
gathered up from here by the boyif and re
moved from day to day in boxes. Wit
ness last saw the sweepings removed the
day before the explosion. Witness did
dot know there was an order to throw
dirty powder into the pond. The boxes
were emptied at some distauce from the
laboratory until the pile was certed away,
sometimes to the manure pile and some
times to the pond. Ile'never saw powder
among the stones bad seen leaky bar
rels, from which powder might have spill
ed. The wagons sometimes backed up to
the shed for empty boxes, but he never
saw them back in when the ground was
dirty. There ism. plank at the end of the
porch, two inches high, would make it
difficult to sweep powder or dirt over into
the roadway.
Jos. Frick was recalled and stated that
the plank referred to was at No. 12 and
not at No. 1, where the porch extended
evenly out. Had seen powder in the road
way. The stones came up to the end of
porch. The barrels delivered by him just
before the explosion were all perfect. He
had remarked that the road was so rough
that it would some day cause an explosion
by shaking out the powder from the bar
ilrels. He had once requested the ser
geant to have the stone removed between
the magazine and laboratory, before the
road was Macadamized.
K. Bracken testified to having laid the
stone road, commencing in April and com
pleting the work in June, 'I he road was
of freestone, except some limestone at the
gateway. He believed there had been
I l more danger before the road;was made, as
the surface was then very irregular and
I rutted so theta wagon would jog from -side
Ito side. A horse's hoof' or wagon wheel
would strike fire from freestone.
Here the jury adjourned until half past
one, for d:aier. During the recess they
visited the ground and thoroughly exam
ined the localities.
At one o'clock the jury resumed its
se-si,n, and the testimony proceeded.
William Baxter, sworn—Have quarried
a good deal of stone. The stone on the
roadway at the Arsenal grounds was as
dangerous for striking fire as any I know.
It was a hard, bastard some, with a good
deal of iron, taken out of the same quarry
oat of which I have worked. At the time
of the Mexican war I worked at the Ar
senal. The room was carpeted; there
was no sweeping out done, and no powder
hauled; it was carried in -barrows- the
carpet was raised twice a day and all the
dust in it shook into the center, and from
that gathered into a coffee pan and carried
off; no stones or coal were' hauled near
the door of the laboratory during my time,
while Major Harding or Mr. Rodman
were there. We were not allowed to wear
shoes in the inside of the laboratory, othy
moccasins,
Robert Dudlap, sworn—Worked at the
laboratory; was going towards the labo
ratory
from the magazine; saw the explo- '
sion, ran away towards the stable ; when
1 reached the stable, the second explosion
took place, I dropped the key of the meg.
azine, and ran farther away; saw the flying
pieces of' the building. Was eau of the
sweepers; swept out four or live times
day; there was a gutter between the porch
and the shed where the empty boxes were
kept ; when Mr. Mcßride saw me sweep
kg the powder there he made me sweep it
off the end of the porch on to the stone
roadway ; there was no plank at the end
of thej)orch; carried the sweepings over
to the fence across the road; never saw the
carts carrying those sweepings away;
never took any to the pond; frequently
saw powder at the end of the porch on
the roadway ; we often wet it theme
and the boy who worked with me
said, if it ever caught it would catch
there. He was kilted. We took powder
off the wagons and rolled them into the
rooms. When the stone was being broken
upon the road, the work was going on in
the laboratory. Wore the boots I have on
(showing them to thejury; they had two
rows of heavy nails upon the sole, never
was ordered to put on other shoes or slip
pers:) went into the magazine, inside the
inner door,.upon the carpet with these
boots on. Went with the man with the
team, taking the key myself, and going
into the magazine to roll out the powder.
When going in to work inside for some
time would put on the moccasins which'
were always kept there. Mr. Mcßride was
my boss; he never told use not to go in
with my boots on. Have seen the barrels
coming down to the laboratory from the
magazine with the hoops loose, and with
out any cover on. Have seen at one time
a double handful swept off the end of the
porch upon the roadway. When he saw
so much, it was the sweepings out of three
rooms, Nos. 1, 2 and 3; would not have
seen it unless he looked for it; was One of
the police.
Elias McClure, sworn—Was employed
there in the ammunition rooms, Nos. 9
and 11. I mind once the boss of the am
munition room, Richard Shannon, rolled
three barrels out of the room among some
boxes, where it remained upon the porch
all night, some six or eight weeks ago;
often saw powder swept out of the amnui
nition room, and then swept out into the
road-way. One evening, some three or
four pounds were swept out upon the
roadway; that was about two months ago.
Messrs. Mcßride and Thorp were super
intendents of the laboratory. One even•
ing I saw powder near au inch thick
upon some of the stones in the road
way. When the Stones were dug up,
the earth among and under tilt m was
black for half a foot thick. At the end of
room 22, there - Was a plank raised up at,
the end of the porch. In the ammunition
room used to work and sometimes used to
go into the magazine with their boots
(showing heavy ones which he had on.)—
Mr. Mcßride used to order, I understood,
not to sweep the powder out into the road
way, but to gather it up. Never heard the
boys scolded who were careless about
sweeping it out but once. Then Mr. Mc-
Bride said, that was no place to put the
powder.
The testimony here closed for the day,
and thejury adjourned until Tuesday even•
ing, to meet at Alderman Donalson's of
fice, when a verdict will probably be made
up.
Death of a Physician.
Dr. C. H. Stowe, of Beaver, who has
been, since the breaking out of the war,
connected with the General Hospital at
Washington City, died of fever, af'er sev
eral weeks illness, at the residence of his
father, in Beaver, on Saturday. He was
an amiable and estimable gentleman, and
will be universally regretted.
Time Extended.
The time for the medical examinations
of those claiming exemption from draft
has been extended to the 25th inst., as it
was found impossible to get through by
the 21st. The rush to the Surgeon's office
is now quite as great as ever and the Com
missioner's office is crowded all day. The
extension of the Surgeon's time will reit!
der a pemponement of the draft neceseary
and it will not probably take place until the Ist of Ostolosrv-----

As nearly all the active members of the
Gymnasium are now in the service of the
country the instittatun has almost died a
natural death, there being rm. , : scarcely
enough funds in the Treasury to keep it
alive two mouths. An effort isabout being
made to reinvigorate it, which wa hope
may prove successful, as it is one of our
most worthy associations. A meeting
to be held at the Gymnasium this evening,
when we hope to see a large attendance
of those who have sons to educate and
who should not neglect their physical cul
ture. It is proposed to get up a new sub
scription list and a new membership, to
keep it going until after the war, when it
will be self sustaining. Let us seo the
Gymnasium revived.
Not Dead.
We published yesterday morning It hi/ •
tice of the death of Dr. Xavier De Itolette,
and were consequently no little surprised
to have a call from him yesterday --not as
a "perturbed spirit," but alive and in full
health. The notice was brought to our
office and paid for by a stranger, who
stated that the Doctor died suddenly on
Sunday afternoon. The whole affair was
a hoax, and we are glad to contradict the
statement, hoping Dr. R. may enjoy a long
and prosperous life.
Advertise.
Business men who intend advertising
their goods and wares this fall id county
papers, would consult their own interests
by not forgetting the Washington Beam.
The soliciting agent, Maj. Win. M. Steep,
is now in the city, and will be pleased to
receive advertisement for this widely.cir
culated and popular paper. Our people
can find no better medium through which
to make known their bueiness.
The little borough of Appolle, Arm
strong county, with a population of tour
hundred and twelve souls. and an enroll
ment of one hundred and five as liable for
military duty, has fifty-nine in the United
States service and twenty-onj in, the aer•
vice of the State. Of the twenty-five
men lett sixteen are exempt; leaving but
nine men in the place subject to the draft.
On Saturday evening, au Adams' ex.
press car was burnt on the railroad near
Sewickley. It was filled at Cincinnati
with army goods—blankets and cloths—
weighing 18,000 !wands. It is not known
how the car caught fire, but the Expiess
Messenger did all in his power to save it.
Two boxes only were saved.
Atlantic and__Great Western
Prominent railroad men interested in
the above road have been• holding a con
ference in Cleveland for several days past,
with regard to it. It has not yet been de
cided whether the road will enter Cleve
land by the alahoning or by the Pittsburgh
road. A third road will be necessary on
either. The road will be in full operation
sometime this winter.
The Drat% Inevitable.
It is the general opinion that there will
be no further postponement of the draft,
but that it will take place on the 25th inst.
Dr. Murdock is the examining physician
for this county and can be found at the
Court House every day from 9 A. M. to
SP. M. Those calling at his office-for
examination will .be charged the regular
office fees.
No Draft In Allegheny.
The people of Allegheny have; by ward
committees, discovered the• names of so
many enlisted recruits not included in the
returns of the deputy marshal that :no
draft will be necessary in that city, every
ward having now a full quota or an ex
cess.
The pupils in a number of our public
schools devote a portion of their time to
the preparation of Butler our Surgeons.
On Friday the children of the Eighth
Ward Schools were employed in this man

Wasnuroxon; Sept 22.—8 y the Pres
dent of the United States of America:
A PROCLAMATION.
I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States of America, and comman
der-in-chief of the army and navy thereof,
do hereby proclaim and declare that here
after, as heretofore, the war will be pros
ecuted for the purpose of practically re
storing the constatutional relation between
the United States and each of the States
and the people thereof, in which that re
lation is or may be suspended or disturbed;
that it is my purpose, upon the next meet
ing of Congress, to again recommend
the adoption of a practical measure, ten
dering pecuniary aid to the free accept
ance or rejection of all the slave States,
so called, the people whereof may not then
be iu rebellion against the United States,
and which States may then have volunta
rily adopted, or hereafter may voluntarily
adopt, immediate or gradual abolishment
of slavery within their respective limits;
and that the effort to colonize persons of
African descent, with their consent, upon
this continent or elsewhere, with the pre
viously obtained consent of the govern
ments existing there, will be continued.
That on the first day of January in the
year of our Lord cue thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-three, all persons held as
slaves within any State or design ated part
of a State, the people whereof,' shall then
he in rebellion against the United States,
shall be then, thenceforward and forever
tree, and the Executive Government of
the United States. includine. the military
and naval authority thereof, will recognize
and maintain the freedom of such persons,
and will do no act or acts to repress such
persona or any of them in any efforts they
make for their actual freedom—that the
Executive will on the first day of January
aforesaid, by proclamation designate the
States and parts of States if any in which
the people thereof respectively shall then
be in rebellion against the United. States,
and the fact that any State or the people
thereof, shall on that day be in good faith
represented in the Congress of the United
States by members chosen thereto at elec
tions wherein a msjority of the qualified
voters of such State shall have participa
ted, shall in the absence of strong coun
tervailing testimony be deemed conclusive
evidence that such State and the people
thereof are not then in rebellion against
the United States.
That attention is hereby called to an
Act of Congress entitled an Act to make
an additional article of war, approved
March 13th, 1862 and which Aot is in the
words and figure as follows :
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatires of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That
hereafter the following shall be promul
gated as an additional article of war for
tee Government of the army of the United
States and shall be observed as such : All
officers or persons in the military service
of the United States are prohibited from
employing any of the forces under their re
spective commands for the purpose of re
turning fugitives from service or labor who
may have escaped from any person to
whom such service or labor as claimed to
be due and any officer who shall be found
guilty by a court martial of violating this
article shall be dismissed from the serv
ice.
SEC. 2d. And be it further enacted,
That this Act shall take effect from and
after its passage.
Also, to the 9th and 10th sections of an
Act entitled, An Act to Suppress Insur
rection, to Punish Treason and Rebellion,
to Seize and Confiscate Property of Reb
els and for other purposes, approved July
17th, 1802; and which sections are in the
words and figures following:
Sac. 9. And be it further enacted, That
all slaves of persons who shall hereafter
be engaged in rebellion against the Gov
ernment of the United States, or who shall
in any way give aid or comfort thereto,
and captured from such persons and taking
refuge within the lines of the army, and
all slaves captured from such persons or
deserted by them and coining under the
control of the Government of the United
States, and all slaves of such persons
found on or being with any place occupied
by rebel forces and afterwards occupied . by
the forces of the United States, shall be
deemed captives of war, and sh all be for
ever free of their servitude and not again
heeded as slaves.
Sec. 10. Anti be it further enacted, That
no slave escaping into any State or Terri.
tory or the District of Columbia from any
other State shall be delivered up or in any
way impeded or hindred of his liberty,
except for crime of some offense against
the laws, unless the person claiming said
fugitive shall first make:oath that tie per
son to whom the labor or service of such
fugitive is alleged to be due, is his lawful
owner and has not borne arms against the
United States in the present rebellion,
nor any way giving aid and comfort thereto.
No person engaged in the military or
naval service of the United States shall,
under any pretence whatever, assume to
decide on the validity of the claim of any
person to the service or labor of any othe r
person, or surrender up any such person
to the claimant on pain of being dismissed
from the service.
And I do hereby enjoin upon and ()icier
all persons engaged in the mihtary or us-
Tel service of the United States, to ob
serve, obey and enforce, within their re
spective spheres of service, the act and
sections above recited; and thelExecative
will, in due Arne, recommend that all cit
izens of the United States, who shall have
remained loyal thereto throughout the re
bellion, shall, upon the restoration of the
constitutions{ relationbetween the United
States and their respective States and the
people, if that relation shall have been
suspended or disturbed, be compensated
for all losses by acts of the United States,
including the loss of 'naves.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand, and canoed the seal of the Unit
ed States to be ifSzed. Dose at the city
of Wishington, this 22d day of Septem
