We have been requested to publish the following
statement by Mr.. Taylor
The boiler bailt for Messrs Taylsr two years
ago. II wss Of Montgomery patent IL was
spread to accommodate water back which wss made
too long consequently they left too wide space be-
tween the sides Of the boiler and the tubes, and
that account, IL rejected IL sold bost at
the South and trial found to be too small tor the
engine; 1t was then returned to New York, aud MIR.
Taylor induced to take 1t. IL not been
stated an old worn out boiler; II had been steamed
proof Of ths Strength Of this Oosr is found n
the fact that its vertical force lifted such prodgious
msss from its foundations. An old, defective boiler,
could not have done this; II would have yielded long
before There not much steam At the tms
of the explosion by 90 lbs to tbe square inch had
been formerly used in the establishment The ens-

calamity, had bsen with Mr. Taylor In the csps-

and II can only be considered safe careful hands
The probability is that the boiler burst from iasuf-
cient water and not perhaps from any defect in its
constructions although many engineers have considered
the plan OF construction dangerous. The want OF
abundant water may have bee occasoned By dersnge
ment Of the pump or by the freezing Of the water in
the pipes and In consequence Of this decomposition
Of what water still remained immediately took place.
converting It into two gases which, together with tns
sudden injection of cold water on the red hot iron
caused the explosion There Is little doubt that in
