Petroleum as Fuel.

The New York Petroleum Light Company
has complicated its series of experiments, and
have now obtained practical results, satls-
factory to the company, that crude petroleum
can with safety and economy be burnt as
fuel, on large scale, under locomotive. sta
tionary, and marine boilers, producing
heat of great intensity, free from smoke, SCOT,
ashes, &c. After few private exhibitions
to parties interested. 1t is proposed by the
company 10 make practical demonstrations.
which will show the public the value Of
petroleum as fuel, in every department
where coal or wood is used.
If the exhibitions to the public prove as
satisfactory as those recently made, are to
the company, there will be valuable addi-
ton to The wealth already developed in the
petroleum interest, and steamers from New
York to Shanghai will require less bulk of
petroleum as fuel than has been occupied
with coal for the passage TO Liverpool.

Terrible Explosion
THREE MEN TORN TO PIECES.
A Large Boiler Thrown Twelve
Hundred Feet.
A Manufacturing Establishment Com
pletely Wrecked.

Tn the small settlement known as Bla-
zing Star, about five miles from Railway
n j., the boiler of John A. Stelnhauser
establishment for preparing phosphate oi
lime exploded about five o'clock Tuesday
afternoon with such terrible effect that
the building, frame 100 feet square, was
entirely wrecked, and the tabular boiler
144 by 16 feet, hurled to distance OF
400 yards from the place, and 100 feet
high, when it struck the earth, throwing
up the dirt to great hight, and then re-
bounded S5 feet further.
A number of mcu were in the build
ing, and three of them who stood near
the boiler were killed, two of them IN
stantly, but the third lived until the fol-
lowing morning.
The names of the killed were A. +.
Beyse, Superintendent, resident of the
vicinity J Master, boiler maker OF this
city, and j. Droush, of Wiliamsburgh.
Boyse's clothes were torn completely from
his body, and Broush's skull was crushed
to atoms, rendering it probable that nei-
ther Of the two unfortunate men was con-
scious of the least suffering. Master did
not believe he was seriously hurt, and the
following morning was walking about
when he complained of difficulty OF
breathing. His respiration grew shorter
and shorter for two or three hours when
he expired.
The accident is ascribed to the deiec-
tive steam gauge which was purchased in
this city. Nir. Beyse had no idea Of the
quantity of steam in the boiler (and he
was an experienced engineer, having
been in one of our gunboats, and on the
Otsego at the time Of her destruction by
a torpedo) and therefore anticipated no
danger, supposing the guage would indi-
cate the pressure upon the boiler.
All of the killed were men of family,
and their remains were promptly cared
for by Mr.. Steinhauser, and lots purcbas
ed for their interment in Greenwood
Cemetery. He has also generously ,ofler
orcd to provide, we understand, for the
widow and children Of the Superintend
ent.
n strange circumstance coUhecIed "ltH
the casualty is that Beyse seemed to have
a premonition of his fate. When he was
in New Y ork last Monday with Steinhau
ser, he said he felt strong disposition to
have his life insured, and returning home
asked his wife where she would have him
buried in the event Of his being killed,
saying he felt as if something were about
to happen to him.
The boiler had l63 tubes, which were
thrown 100 feet apart, and this fact, with
the tremendous force of the explosion,
indicates that there must have been at
least $50 pounds of steam to the square
inch Tribune

Horace Binney the Younger, Of Phila-
delphia, man of pure character, unset
fish loyalty, and an honored leader of the
Episcopal Church, in the General Con
vention, on Saturday, offered resolution
of thanss to Almighty God for the return
Of ''peace to the country and unity of the
Church. He ventured to add to this
petition suggestion that especial thanks
to Almighty Cod be rendered "for the
removal of that great occasion of national
dissension and estrangement to which our
late troubles are due" Whereupon there
was much excitement, Mr. Binncy being
loudly called to order" Another mem
ber was "noisily silenced, third "also
noisily interrupted and the whole scene
resembled one of the parliamentary break
downs IN which Southern slave drivers
were wont to indulge when they were
masters in Congress. Free Speech was
stided, aud the majority, headed by
Judge Bittle of North Carolina, ;" finally
killed the motion.
So then the Episcopal Church, in this
year of Peace and Grace and Emancipa-
ton, with all the world recognizing in A
merica the triumph of Freedom over the
worst form of Slavery aud oppression,
steps back aud says: Let the children
of God pass on we shall remain with our
eyes fixed on Sodom." So stood the
wife Of Lot in the olden time. We know
that God cursed her with his awful wrath
and that through all succeeding time she
remained a monument Of shame and back
sliding, and a just example Of divine ven
geance. She did not save Sodom. The
fire came, and the sons of the wicked
were destroyed.-TriLMa

Internal Revenue.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
this morning ordered the following:
Where person neglects to pay the in
come duty after demand (sec. ll9), the
amount due becomes lien from the time
when the tax fell due until it is paid
The one hundred and nineteenth section
prescribes that the tax shall be levied on
the lst day Of May, aud be due or pay
able the Both day of June. On these
terms of the law it can only be predica;ed
that the tax falls due Oh the 30th Of June
so that the lien attaches on that day.

Lock Ont for Robbers.

All over the country more or less OF
our exchanges announce the fact that rob
heries are being carried on at fearful
rate. These are not petty robbcrics, but
robbcries of the worst type. Banks are
being broken into, safes Of Companies
broken open, together with private indi-
yiduals who are suspected Of having rea
dy money on hand, fall prey to these
pluudering hell-hounds. The Morse thieves
are also just now busily reaping their
wretched harvest.
1t becomes absolutely necessary that
ali parties interested, should be on the
look out for these villains. See that the
doors are properly bolted and locked, and
that all Banks and Offices containing
money and other valuables, are guarded
and efficiently protected.

straw until, at last, with the weight OF the
load. the public back is broken. we have
been neglecful hitherto throwing safe
guards around the rights and interests OF
the MANY, the time to begin that work is
now to day The evil is sadly upon US,
and is seen and felt most crushingly.-
Let US begin at once to remedy it, by pre-
pairing to demand of the Legislature such
restrictions upon the speculative tenden-
cies of corporations as shall strip them OF
their monstrosities, aud make them, what
in deed and truth they were designed to
be, conservators of the public interests
and efficient, workers for the public
good. The longer we delay the accom-
plishmeut of this necessary work, the
faster will the collar Of moneyed power
be riyeted to our necks.
1t was cause Of sad complaining on
the part of the company, and some
thing not to be endured, that the miners
were beyond all reason IN their resistance
to reduction Of nine per cent on their
WAGES. What can be said for the company
uow that, the miners having goneto work
on their demand, they raise the price OF coal
on consumers full fifty per cent above
the very unreasonable profit, even. which
they were receiving when they instituted
the strike. If 1t was wrong for the miners
to assist the reduction, it is thirdly wrong
for the company to insist upon raise In
the price of coal, with no increased dem
and upon its coffee for labor CT for the
material necessary in the conduct OF Its
business.

From the West Indies Terrific Tornado
---Great Loss of Life.

From the British Guiana Gazette, Sept.
%.
BY way of Barbados we have news of
a most disastrous hurricane at Guadaloupe
on the 9th inst. 1t appears that until
six o'clock in the evening Of that day
there was nothing to indicate an apPaoach
ing storm, but at that hour the wind sud
denly shifted to the northeast aud blew
most furiously. In Grands Bourg. the
town of Marie Gaiante, many houses were
torn up and blown away riecemeal to con
siderable distances. States and sheets
of zine flew about in all directions. The
public hospital was blown down, killing
or woundng the inmates. La the quar-
ter Of Grande Boarg alone thirtysix per
sous were killed aud fty-niue wounded.
Basseterre and Saints also suffered dread
fully. The loss of life and property must
have bsen immense, but had not been as
certaiued when our accounts left
Since the above was in type, we have
received confirmation of the sad news re-
corded above, and it appears the dcvasta-
ton aud loss of life was still greater than
we at first supposed. The loss of life is
now stated between two and three hund-
red the crops Of the island have been
destroyed, and scarcely a tree is to be
seen standing many vessels, too, are mis-
sing Beyond high sea and heavy gale
the hurricane was not felt in the other
West India Islands.
