coRoNERs' INQUIsIFIoN IN THE ST. JOHN Ex-
PLosIoN CASE.
New YORK, November 1O.-The Coroners'
Inquisition in regard to the explosion on
board of the steamer st. John, was brought
to close lastevening.
The opinions given by witnesses were that
: the boiler had been improperly braced, that
the hydrOstatic pressure to which it had
been subjected had rendered it unsafe to
carry full head of steam, that the chisel
cut made while cauIking had weakened the
receptacle, and that filling the boilers with
cold water before they were cooled off bad
proved dangerous in thA,r1hrge boilers, |
.ThHreduept Inspection of the same, and |
the use of hot instead of cold water IN the aP- |
plication of hydrostatie tests, but failed 10
| eepsure any person as having peeh 'hstru-
mental in the disaster.
TUE CHOLERA.
DR.. Welch, in charge of the hospital ship
at the lower quarantine hes made report
| in regard to the history of the epidemic
| among the Atalantas passengers. OF 523
| in the steerage abouty so were attacked and
sixteen died during the passage, and since
the vessels arrival "a more have sickened
and four died. This comparatively small
mortality he attributes to the good eOndl-
tien of the ship, the good quality OF the
|
sufferers. The Doctor hopes for the speedy
disappearance of the malady. In speaking
Of the matter of quarantining the cholera,
| he saws the endeayor must be made to
quarantine persons, and not ships and mer-
| ohandise.
II is understood that the National Govern
ment pToposes to sell to the State authorities,
for merely nominal price, the old receiving
ship North Carolina, to be stationed OIL the
lower quarantine as permanent ehoiera
hospital.
