EXPLOSION OP THE BOILER OK
STEAM FIRE ENGINE IN TUB
CROWDED BOWERY.
Five Persons Killed and more than
Twenty Scalded and Mangled.
[From tbe New York World.]
One of tbe moat frightful accidents that
we have ever been called upon to chronicle,
occurred last night in the Bowery, opposite
the Old Buwery Theatre, caused by the
sudden explosion of the boiler of a steam
tire-engine, and involving jas far as can be
ascertained, the death of five persons and
the dangerous wounding of over twenty
others.
A lew minutes before 9 o’clock last night a
fire was discovered burning ou the fifth floor
of the premises No. 53 Bowery, in a paper-
box factory on that floor. Au alarm wa9
soon sounded, and among the companies re
sponding to the call was Metropolitan En-
giue Company No. 9, Stewart Carson, Fore
man, which is located in Fait Broadway,
near Catharine street. The steamer in
charge of this company took water from a
hydrant in front of the Bowery Theatre, and
necess-irily the engine was stationed itame-
di-itely in front ot the entrance to the pit.
The steamer was working soon under the
usual pressure ol steam, and continued iu
action for nearly half au hour. By this
time the fire had been extinguished, and the
Foreman received orders to stop the en
gine and “ take up." The working of
the engine was stopped by Patrick W.
Hand, the engineer in charge.
As usual ia such cases the water in the
toiler having become somewhat exhausted,
the engineer set the pumps at work feeding
the boiler. This had been continued but a
few moments when the boiler exploded with
a fearful noise, throwing the steamer over on
the bide walk, and scattering clouds of hot
steam, streams of boiling water, aud show
ers ot dangerous missiles in all directions.
The working ol a steamer at a fire usually
attracts considerable of a crowd about the
apparatus, particularly in so populous a
neighborhood as the Bowery. There was
quite a crowd about the steamer at the time,
aud the consternation occasioned by the Bud-
den aud unlooked-for explosion of the boiler
may be imagined; it baffles all description.
Uutortunately at the critical juncture the
curtain had just l&llen on the first act of
the play at the theatre, and a -crowd
of meu and boys, as usual, eagerly
rushed through the pit exit to reac h the
street. Had the explosion been previously
planned for the purpose of killing and maim
ing as many as possible under the circum
stances, it could not have been timed with
better advantage; for as the hundreds of men
and boys who^uightly throng the Old Bowery
pit had just reached the sidewalk the boiler
exploded. To this unfortunate fact may be
ascribed the appalling list of dead and
wounded.
The noise of the explosion was so great as
to snake all the houses in the vicinity, and
many windows suffered demolition in conse
quence. The sight was obscured by the
ueuse cloud of steam, and all was confusion
and consternation. The crowd momentarily
dispersed by the explosion, ru9hed\back
eager to learn the extent of the calastrdphe,
and was soon augmented by hundreds ol\x-
cited persons, attracted to the spot by the
noise of the explosion. Tbe theatre was
abandoned, And for a while the actors were
playing to empty benches.
As soon as the steam cleared away, a most
appalling spectacle met the gaze of the ex
cited lookers-on. The engine was turned
completely over, and the sidewalk and street
were literally strewn with the dead und dy
ing. Tne wounded were in ail stages of suf
fering. Scalded, burnt, crushed, with skulls
fractured, limbs broken, all bruised and
mangled, they lay in the street, the air filled
with their agonizing cries for help. Some
of the sufferers had been blown into the
middle of the street, while others had been
literally thrown into the Bowery Theatre en
trance. The mangled corpses of four vic
tims of this moat horrible catastrophe were
found in front of the theatre entrance; the
engineer of the steamer was blown into the
middle of the street and was lying there in
sensible, while the rest of the wounded were
lying promiscuously about, singly and in
groups, as on a holly-contested battle-field.
So horrible was the aspect of the scene that
the public, inured as they are to every
phase of horror aud suffering, stared aghast
at the evidences of death and the approach
of death forced upon their notice. Captain
Jourdan, oi the Sixth Precinct, was prompt
ly on the spot, and gathering his force he
soon cleared the space around the Hpot
where the accident occurred By the exer
tions of Ciplain Jourdan, aided by Sergeant
Kennedy, of the Sixth Precinct, and Ser-
f cants Wemyss and Weed, of the Tenth
redact, some sort of ’order was obtained
Toe crowd in the Bowery was immense, and
the excitement it was laboring under ren
dered it to a certain extent unmanageable.
It was a most difficult tusk to keep the con
stantly increasing mass of people back from
encroaching on tbe police and impeding
them in their arduous duties. A number ot
hacks were pressed into the service by Capt.
Jourdan, and be fit once dispatched his of
ficers to the New York Hospital with the
wounded as fast as they could be placed in
coaches and driven.
The engine was formerly No. 1, and was
for a long time stationed in the Talk walk.
This was tbe first engine built for the Me
tropolitan Fire Department by tbe Amoskeeg
Company. She was a first-class Amoskeeg,
aud was considered one of the best engines in
the department. Wheu Engine Company No.
1 was disbanded, the steamer was set aside as
a reserve engine and was doing doty as such
when the explosion occurred. The explos
ion is attributable to the carelessness of the
cugineer, Patrick W. Hand, in allowing the
water in tbe boiler to ran too low, and then
suddenly feeding the boiled with cold water,
which striking on tbe hot surface, generated
superheated steam, resulting in the explos
ion. The boiler was allowed to carry be
tween eighty and ninety pounds of steam and
generally worked at a pressure varying from
sixty to eighty pounds.
Well Answebbd.—Stephen Slade, a negro
well known in this connty as one of the best
farm bands and tobacco enrera in all this
section, was “had up” before the United
States officer at Yanceyville, to answer
charges of “intimidating" colored men in
the late election against voting the Radical
ticket. Alter an amount of questioning—
and all to no purpose—the officer asked:
“ What was your reason, sir, for voting the
Conservative ticket?”
“ Am I k free man, sir ?”- inquired Ste
phen. ,
“ Certainly you are. sir,’’ replied the offi
cer.
“ Then, sir, if I’m a free man, I shall keep
my reason to myself." And Stephen kept it.

Ancient History: »■/ *' ;
Away in the Greek times tbfere arose a lit-
tle unpleasantness with .the .
count or a good- looking girt caili
Ulysses tried hard, with the,
tbe city of Troy, but failed^!
ho: se-jockey trick 0¥<
inside the belly of a
saw-horse.) So it will be seen that tbe Ulye
sea of to-day comes fairly by hie propensity
to “talk horse." After this little affair,
Ulysses, in his wanderings, fell into the power
of the grand Cyclops—but inviting him to.
“take something,” radical nominee’*
namesake drank him drank In seven minutes
by a Waltham watch, put out his one eye,
and vamosed tbe ranch. It was thought to
be a good joke, but Cyclops couldn’t sea it.
When Ulysses again went to sea, he was fur
nished with a very large bag of wind for bis
personal use ; ! How - ex%et the parallel! This
bag of wind, JeSfgnetr to propel his vessel, was
pricked at the wrong time, and blew Ulysses
just where be didn’t’want to go, damaged his
craft a good deal, and forced him to bear up
for repairs, with no insurance or cargo, and no
claim for average, general or particular/
Ulysses next landed where part of his followers
became swine, with permission to “root hog,
or die:” And for some time Ulysses himself
followed the occupation of swineherd, becom
ing about as badly off as the prodigal son,
with no fatted calf ahead. He was so constantly
with his swing that he came to understand
their language, and used it himself until he be
came known as Ulysses Grunt. Here the
coincidence is very remarkable ! At last, in a
little misunderstanding with his son concerning
the market price of spare-ribs, the progeny
inserted a few inches of steel between his
parent’s own ribs, and that finished the name
sake of the Radical nominee. This is supposed
to forecast the fate of the present Ulysses
Grant. If ha don’t go the whole hog, Ben
Butler will have him impeached.—Belfast

The total registration io Florida, jhst
prior to the late so-called election on the bo

the Radical Central Committee as 31,498 —
whites. 13,698; negtoes, 17,800—and the
vote for the constitution is announced as
14,520, or 1,230 less than a majority of tbe
registered vote. Harrison Reed, of Wiscon
sin, a special agent of the Poatoffice De
partment, assigned to duty in Florida, is the
bogus Governor; one Clisson, likewise from
Wisconsin, and likewise a Postoffice agent,
is the l,o?u9 Lieutenant Governor; and a C.
M. Hamilton, bureau official and carpet-bag
ger of the purest treed, is the member of
C ingress. A9 to the Legislature, it stands

ty or our government to “take up its paper”
is not caused by the wa^e^, heavy though it
be. It arises rather from Che almost univirsal
conviction that Radicalism is breaking down
the government. This, added to tbe fact that
economy has gjven place to the most reek:,
less extravagance; boneirty in’ office to un
heard of corruption; patriotism 1 to base par
tisanship; love of country to love of self
and of party—i9 what has seat American
Securities down to bfelow the value ot those
of Italy and. Turkey, and very nearly as low
ailhose of Brazil. The direct loss to the
country in cousequenoe of this depreciation,
is hundreds of millions of do lars—a loss
which is made op by increased taxation.
Already taxes in the United Slates exceed
those of France and England, as appeals
from the following table:

Which assures two loll Senators, who for
the sake of consistency will, doubtless, also
be from Wisconsin and special agents of the
Postofflce Department, as is likely to bs the
case also with the Secretary of State, Attor
ney General, Comptroller-General, State
Treasurer, Surveyor-General, Superinten
dent of Public Instruction, Adjutant-Gene
ral and Commissioner of Immigration, all of
whom are to be appointed bv the bogus
special agent of the Postoffice-I>3partinent-
Goveroor from-Wisconsin-elect.
Ten of tbe bogus Senators, it may be of
interest to say, were delegates in the bogus
Convention, as were also eleven members of
the so-called House. As to race, there are
three African Senators, and sixteen colored
recipients of bureau rations in the lower
House. The capital of the State, Tallahas
see, is represented in the Senate by a Cana
dian negro, a British subject, and in the
House by a full delegation of four blacks,
viz: the Hon. Noah Graham, the Hon. Bob
Livingston, the Hon. Bob Cox, and the Hon.
Bob Wells.
The bogus constitution—or rather that one
of the two bogus constitutions which met
Congressional acceptance, the bogus Con
vention having “split” early in the aotion,
and each wing framed a constitution republi
can iu form, and form only—make suffrage
dependent on a recognition of the civil and
political equality or all men, and declares
that none but voters shall be jurymen ; ad
mits negro lawyers to practice ; provides the
Governor with a “ cabinet of adminis
trative officers,” consisting of Secretary
of State, Attorney General, and so on,
as hereinbefore mentioned, to be appointed
by him, and gives him the • appoint
ment of all justices, State attorneys,
militia officers, Ac., &c., Ac.; declares no
one is to be excused from militia duty by
reason of religious aoroples, unless the Legis-
ture so provide, and directs the Legislature
to raise a revenue sufficient to defray the ex
penses of tbe State for the each fiscal year,
“and also a sufficient sum to pay the princi
pal and interest of the existing indebtedness
of the State,” (something easier to say than
do, there having been but $600 in the State
Treasury when tbo bogus Contention met,
wheretore the people were mercilessly rob
bed at the point of tbe bayonet to met their
stealages.)
The expenses of the loil government to be
thus inaugurated are such as could not be
borne by even a richer State than Florida,
and as a sample look at the salaries set forth
in one section alone (Art. XVI., Sec. 4).

Flagrant Odtragb ! —It pains ns to an
nounce that on Sunday night last ft mo8 t
wicked and wanton outrage was committed,
upon a stranger and foreigner in the vicinity
of our lowu. A mob of negroes arrested
him without warrant and without evident
of (he commission of any crime, upon sns-
picion only. It does not yet appear that
there was tbe least cause for suspicion. .He
represents bimEelf ps a Belgian by birth und
was makiog his way to Augusta, Georgia, on
fjot, in search of employment, without
money. Being tired, he left the road tp
sleep for the night in an old unoocopied hut,
a few hundred yards from the road, prefer
ring this rather than to ask accommodations
of strangers. The mob was gotten up with
out difficulty. ThestraDger was arreakd
by them aud marohed into town about
midnight and lodged ip jail, through the
prudence of some of our white citizens,
much against the expressed feelings of the,
one hundred or more sable guards, .who fol
lowed him with guns, pistols and bowie
knives of hideous proportions. He was de
tained until next day, to give them an op
portunity to get out a warraut and to have
him legally arrested. This was done on tbe
charge of vagrancy. The court and prose
cutor met in the evening, when lo! the
prosecutor retired, and when called refuted,
as we are informed, to have anything more
to do with it) The name of the Injured
stranger is known,And can be found if want

England 10 92 per capita
United States ; 16.00per capita
From this it will be seen that nor tax per
capita is almost equal to that of France and
England combined. The effects of this in
crease are everywhere visible. It is teen in
the increased cost of living—in the prioe of
rents, of food, and of clothing. It is seen in
our ships rotting at our wharves; in the
stagnation of trade ; in tbe destruction of
commence ; iu our closed workshops
and idle factories; in the swarms of tnx-
gatherf rs who crowd our streets and pry in
to every man’s busims*. It is seen in tbe
increased cost of everything that can con
tribute to Iho domfort and convenience of
man, and in the decreased facilities for em
ploying the physical ;in^ntftl energies of
our people. The final result of so ’much
fanaticism, extravagance, knavery and cor
ruption, is not difficult to forste. It con
tinued, the public debt must increase,
the cost of living go up, and tbe nation
al credit go dowu. The end will be ft
destroyed government and universal bank
ruptcy. In the reorganization following such
a state of pffairs, a new government, founded
on principles other than those which now
obtain, will be reared, and with it- Will come
the repudiation of all present financial obli
gations. Let no man so dhoeivd himself as
to believe such a revolution impossible. We
have already entered on that road which
other republics, in other ages, have travelled,
and nothing but a speedy “right-about-face”
can save us from the fate which befell them.
Nations do not willingly die, nor do repub
lics intentionally compass their own destruc
tion. When not the victims of foreign op
pression, or of tbe armed internal dissentions
of their own citizens, they go down because
of the machinatioos.of.ambitious men, and
of 1 the corruptions -and extravagance which
neither rnlora nor people will interfere to
pretend Let him only who believes we are
free lrom these destructive agencies, boast
of tbe permanence of our institutions, or
place implicit confidence in the faithful per-
fornianca of all oftr national obligations.—
