The Limerick Meeting.

Mr.. washburn did not speak at Limerick on
the 3ist ult. The appointment was made by
the State Committee, and although handbills
were printed notifying the meeting, they mis-
carried, or did not reach Limerick until too late
to give the requisite notice, and ,rere not post
81. Under the uncertainty about the matter,
the Republicans Of Limerick thought it best to
deter the meeting to some later day, and on the
Saturday previous wrote us to that effect. The
letter did. not reach us seasonably, and as 1t
was not known certainly that the meeting was
deferred, II was thought expedient for Mr.
washburn to GO to Limerick and be ready to
speak IL meeting had been notified. This Is
all there i about this Limerick meeting, over

LAWRENCE, Jan. I3.-The cOroncrs' jury
re-asscmblcd at o'clock this morning
The testimony during the forenoon was
mainly relating to the construction of the
building, but nothing new was ELECTED.
Three more bodies were taken from the
ruins to-day. They were all badly mutt
lated; two of them so bad that they could
not be recognised; the third was discov-
cred, by fragments of clothing, TO be that
nf Mrs. Augusta Aun Ashwurth. She
was Is years of age and was married in
March last. Her husband is a shoemaker
and works al North Salem. Her body was
nearly consumed. The body taken out last
night has been identified US that Of Mrs.
Margaret Turner.
Stephen Wallace, a mason, who worked
on the mill, confirmed the story about
water running through the foundation OF
the mill: thought that the foundation might
be undermined By the water; thought the
walls too thin: never worked on u large
mill with walls so thin; the mortar used
was good; the bricks were hard but rough.
Maurice Knoles, II CARPENTER, who worked
on the Pembcrtun mill, did not know that
he had ever worked in Il mill with walls
so thick as these: thought az the time tie
shaving of the floors insufficient; the caps
in the rilnStcrS were too small: thought he
had never seen II mill so much cut up with
windows, this would weaken the wall;
didn't think the cracks by tue chimneys
widened the building materially: could not
give decided opinion as to the cause OF
the fall but thought from present appear
Hnces that the pilasters gave way first.
Benz. Coolidge. asSiStat engineer of the
Essex Co., ut the time of the building OF
the Pembeytou Mill, testified that the soil
was remarkably solid sand loan; under that
was the boulder formation. extending three
or four feet, composed of stones from sun
pounds weight down to the size of man S
hand and sand; under this lies what is
called in Lawrence pudding, sometimes SO
solid that it breaks out i'll Jumps when dry
and when wet, as in the PcmbertOn Mill, a
little mud leaks out of it; under that is Il
peculiar quicksand, useless to excav.tc il
us it comes up; we only touched this in the
excavation OF the wheel building, which
is not the main building: there never wa:
foundation wall laid in Lawrence equal
to that in solidity and strength it was
made with stones long enough to iny
across. think the foundation will be
found solid.

E3~ConHEcTIoN-W are requested to
SAY tat the informcr of the Union was
mistaken in reporting that Mr.. Tappan 5

Main street. III the time the accident Oc-
cured to him, on last Thursday evening.
lie was returning from school by his
usual route, when u large boy, on sled,
came tearing down the sidewalk like des-
truction and without warning, ran against
him, knocking him down and causing a
very bad fracture of his leg The largo
boy or discovering what he had done, in
stead Of rendering assistance TO the little
fellow. took his sled and ran away. This
is the second or third serious accident
which has resulted from the perniciOus
,letiing uani:l, which has seized upon the
BOYS aud others who would not probably
wish to be ranged in that class. We have
heard it intimntcd that there would be an
attempt made to try how far the city is Ii
able for accidents occurring from such
reckless and unrcstrained usurp0tion of
the sidewalks. In some parts of the city,
ladies are habitually compelled to take the
middle of the streets on account OF the
dangerous condition of the sidewalks,
from the continued slcding and sliding
on them. We have frequently seen Ia
dies approaching corner, very narrowly
escape accident from rapid halter SHELTER
trains of sIcds coming down the cross
streets. We certainly think the complaints
OF the citizens are reasonable and should
be needed.

EDs. lHTELLIGENCER:-Af few days ago,
met your Local Editor, and requested him
to correct a statement, which had appear
ed in the Emon! (saye the mark) which
statement was to the effect, that Mr. Frank
lin, alias Baltzell, had cmbezzlcd the funds
belonging to the Beech Glen Sunday School
district-funds which had been collected
for the purpose of assisting the library, and
procuring copies of some Sunday School
journal. The correction was made, as re-
quested. and embodied what were simply the
fact Of the case. observe that the Union
has this morning returned to the already
hsckneyed subject, and has attempted to
G!scrctit your statements. In answer to
'hci remarks on this head, have just this
TO say: was present ut the last annual
election for Superintendent, and along
With others, heard an exhibit read of the
receipts and expenditures, which exhibit
showed, to my entire satisfaction, and to
al others, so far as know, that the money
which had been subscribed was strictly
and correctly applied So that whatever
e.se Mr.. Franklin was guilty of, he was not
guilty Of embezzlcment.
Id" not make these statements. Messrs.
Editors, because of any interest feel in
NJ, franklin, for had no acquaintance at
all with him. beyond merely knowing him
wien san him. But it seems to me that
'lHre has been very useless and injurious
waste Of words from the Editor of the
nm, about matter that could have
been all and fully. and just as satisfactory
!! told in few paragraphs. The remarks
which he has gone out of his way, from
'AAe 10 time 10 make, have been calcula-
I'd to compromise others iuiuriously, as
II seems to me, and certainly have not in any
Particular benefited those who suffered
Nest by misplaced confidence.
Yours respectfully,
Z. NJ. MORTON.
