HORRIBLE AccIDENr=bnEApFuL EXPLOSION
Our readers will find In another part Of this days
paper, full account Of a dreadful catastrophe
which occurred IN this city yesterday morning, by
the explosion OF a steam boiler, which has occa-
stoned deplorable loss of life. We allude TO the
explosion in the machine shop OF Mr.. Taylor, IN
Hague street, which took place between seven and
eight o'clock yesterday morning
BY this sad catastrophe, great loss of human
lite has been occasioned, and the first questions
which occur are-Was the boiler safe and, il it
was safe, was it through neglect that it exploded
AT present, we cannot answer these questions. II
is said, however, that the boiler Was known to be
defective, and, therefore, unsafe. On the other
hand, we hear that it was new, and that nothing
short of criminal negligence could have caused the
explosion. We certainly do not pretend to Judge
between the two statements. But We do say
that il is the bounden duty Of the Coroner, who is
to hold the primary examination this case, TO IN
stitpte rigid investigation INTO the matter. II It
be found, on such investigation, that the boiler was
VIGOROUSLY defective, as We have heard-that II
was unsafe-the authorities are bound, by every
consideration, to take measures to punish the par
lies who would use such machine, 10 the extreme
penalty of the law. This is an extraordinary case
it is a case of very uncommon occurrence In this
region; and If any party has been guilty OF the
crime (for we can call it nothing less) of work.
ing boiler which was known TO be defective, we
hope that such party will be prosecuted aud pun
ished as he deserves. Human lite must not be
trifled with in this way. If that boiler was known
to be unfit for use, it is the duty of the Coroners
jury TO investigate the matter, and for the grand
jury to ndict the party who used NJ, knowing it to
be unsafe, for homicide. The State has lost sc.
veral of its valuable members, and the Coroner's
jury are TO inquire INTO the Of their destruc-
ton. If their death was occasoned by neglect,
the parties guilty Of such neglect should be made
TO suffer.

that she will be ready for sea in about SIX weeks
