TERRIBLE LOCOMOTIVE EXPLOSION

The first Locomotive boiler explosion that ever
took place on the Western Railroad, occurred ON
Saturday afternoon last, near the Clappyie station
and was attended with fatal consequences. 1t was
the locomotive Erie, of one of the freight trains
bound for Springfield. After passing the station
nan miie tue engineer, John Monegan, stopped the
train to deck his engine with laures from the road
side. After delay of about eight minutes, he
mounted again. and pulled out the throstle to start
the train. Directly, and before the motion had been
communicated to all the cars, the back part of the
boiler tore out with tremendous force, and an expo-
sion louder than six pound cannon. Monegan was
instantly killed, and his body was found fifteen rods
distant IN the bushes, whittier ii was blown by the
force Of the explosion 1t was entirely stripped of
all clothing save single stocking and his neck hand
kerchlef, and was badly scaded. The BODY was
also minus one leg below the knee (which was blown
OIL at the engine, and carried in another direction a
distance of thirty rods, falling on the other side of
the tram IRON the main part of the body, and near
The hmdermost cars. A piece of flesh as big, as a
mans hand also iell on one of the back cars, more
than thirty rods distant from the locomotive
William Whitman, fireman, was just mounting
he engine as the explosion occurred and was very
severely, though it is believed, not dangerously
scaded by the steam He was left at ClappyilIe.-
brakeman, Mr.. Knights, was directly behind
Whitman, and escaped with two slight bodily inu-
ries. No other person was hurt
The force of the explosion may be judged of from
the fact that the reaction drove the engine 20 rods
up the grade of As feet to the mile, after separating
1t from the tender. The latter contained cord and
half Of wood, having just been re-flled, and the
whole OF It was swept out and thrown high into the
air, coming down in all directions around like
shower Of had. Some of the wood was blown
against thetop of the first freight car so lercibly as
to strip more than half of it completely off, The
accident occurred about O'Clock p. M. The BODY
OF Monegon and the engine were brought into SPRING
field on Saturday evening. The cost of repairing
the latter will not probably exceed $1,000 or $1,000.

CONGRESS.


SATURDAY, June, 30.
SENATB. Mr. Seward of New York offered
resolution inquiring into the expedieGcy of a topo-
graphical survey Of the lower banks of the Missssp-
p, with view to the erection of entertainments to
prevent oyerfows. Laid over.
MIR Cas- called up resolution inquring into the
expediency of prohibiting the exercise of unlawful
powers by officers of the army. He urged its I'M
portance IN few remarks.
Mr. Seward said that the existing laws covered the
case in New Mexico, and he thought that the pro-
ceedings of Gen Riley in California were analogous
MrCass said he found no law applicable to the
case Gen. Rlley's was altogether different. Ma
Jor Munroe had cut the Gordian knot, and if tacity
acquiesced in, the question was settled.
HOUSE. Mr. McCIernand's motion to Law the
whole subject Of the Iowa case on the table was neg
atived By lO3 to 90. The Democrats voted in the
affirmative with five exceptions. The question was
taken on the resolution that Mr. Thompson was en-
titled to the seat, and negatived by l02 to a.
During much confusion MI. McGaughey offered
resolution that there is vacancy from the LIST
Congressional District in Iowa, and that the Gov
efnor OF the State be made acquainted with the fact
Points of order raised and much confusion pre-
vailed.
The Speaker at last suppressed the confusion.
Mr. Burt SAID that both Mr. Thompson and Mr.
Miller had been denied the seat by a vote of the
House. There was no necessity to pass resolution
that the Executive of Iowa be so informed.
MIR Morse said the House had not decided there
was vacancy; it only denied that neither Mr. Mil
Ter nor Mr. Thompson were entitled to seat. Some
one else might claim it.
Mr. McGaughey said he would not vote for Mr.
Miller although he believed him elected. 1t was
his wish that it should be referred back to the peo-
pie. lie would not withdraw his motion.
DIR MeGaughey's motion was finally agreed to-
yeas l09, nays 81.
Mr. Van Dyke offered resolution to pay Mr. Mil
er,s expenses-not agreed to-
Mr. Preston King wanted to go into Committee Of
the Whole on State of Union, &c, but the Speaker
said special order was before the House on the
Galphia Claim Adjourned.

ACCIDENT AT NIAGARA FALLs-FaN of Table
Rock. despatch to the Boston Evening Gazette, on
Saturday evening, says that about 20 minutes past
O'Clock, in the afternoon, most serious accident took
place. While a carriage, containing six persons, was
passing along Table Rock, it was discovered that the
Rock was giving way. The occupants of the carriage
at once jumped from the vehicle, and had barely reach
ed the ground in time to their lives, when large
portion of the rock fell with most tremendous crash,
the shock of which was heard for miles around. The
carriage and horses went over with the rock and one
gentleman had but second before left it. 1t was re-
ported that guide and several visitors were under the

CONFESSION OF PROFESSOR WEBSTER. The
Boston Courier says that ga report in circulation
Saturday that this individual had sent written COM
muncation to the Governor and Council conessing that
he killed DIR. Parkman but denying that the act
premeditated. As far as we can learn no such COM
munication has yet been sent, has any confession
been made public by DR.. Webster. 1t is not denied,
however, that something Of this kind has been in pre-
paration for week past and are informed that the
Governor and Council have been apprized on the part
Of the prisoner, that he intends laying paper before
them at their meeting to-day. From what has been
disclosed thus far, the general understanding seems to
be that the confession viii be very explicit, as the
friends of Dr. Webster, wish to save him the benefit Of
the doubt which yet exists in the minds of some ndi
viduals as to his guilt 1t is difficult understand how
50 equivoca measure is expected to take effect with
any advantage to the unfortunate man.
