Yesterday afternoon Coroner Flynn concluded the

william S. Wright and George lIussey, who died
from the eIecs OF injuries received on the lstb ult.
by the explosion OF steam boiler in the ulanufac-
tory Of Messrs. Decker Co., SIT West Thrty-third

substance OF their testimony together with the
dict or the jury, will he found below.
Norman Ward deroscd that he had examined the
exploded boiler since the occurrence as he was CIV

cause OF the explosion 10 be unequal expansion;
when the engineer feit fhe boiler At the time Of

boiler smell ana crown sheet; indications OF over.
heating were detected as the iron nad scaled. ana
the boiler unusually full Of scates thus showing
that the engineer was at fant IN not cleaning 1t at
regular intervals; In the opinion OF the witness the
engineer was not to blame IN m sjudging the guam
tlty Of hot water in the boiler as he took the steam
gauges as indicatons; these gauges are simply

planned the principle OF unequal expansion bv stat.

boiler and had changed his opn ION IN regard 10 the
cause OF the exrloslon; ne naa believed snai IL, IN
covered that when the boiler was patched several OF
the bolts holding the crown sheet u the crown bar
had been removed; from this cause the crown sbes
became overstrained for space OF hfteen inches
as IL had no support from the stay bars. and
it from the tube Sheet the boiler was In an
explosive condition since II was patched: Mr..
Emory thought the cutting or or the stay bolt heads
passing through the crown bar permitted that par

broken by lhe STRAIN on the aDge OF the tube sheet
which was evidently nearly equal TO the tensile con

The Funding RiIl.
We copy the following dispatch to the
Louisville Couripr-,/Ou,N0I.

We copy the following dispatch to the
Louisville Couricr-you,nal:
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 1.-THE pre-
dictiOn so often made that the Secretary OF
the Treasury would secure in conference
committee in the last days of the session a
funding bill that would be acceptable to
him, and that he could successfully enforce
was realized to-day by an agreement on a
bill for funding fifteen hundred millions of
the present bonded debt into three new
classes of bonds. as follows:
First-A ten year bond at five per cent,
of which ten hundred millions are to be
issued.
SecOnd-A fifteen-year bond at four per
cent. of Which three hundred millions are
to be issueu.
Third-A thirty-year bond, of which one
Thousand millions are to be issued, bearing
four per cent interest.
The principal and interest of these bonds
are to to be paid in gold, and to be exempt
from all taxation. The interest is payable
semi-annually and in this country, the Sec
retary failing to have inserted in the bill
what is known as the foreign-lOan clause.
The rates of interest are the same as in the
Senate funding bill, which passed March III.
Besides the classes of bonds into which hold
ers of the matured five-twenties can con-
vert their bonds, the bill provides for the
cancellation of such bonds as are now, or
may hereafter, become redeemable by using
the coin in the Treasury deposited there, as
provided in the original House bill, or by
using to certain limit coin derived from
importers to cancel said matured bonds. All
future national banks are to be organized
these bonds, but the feature of the Origi-
nal Senate measure which compelled the
existing national banks to exchange their
present bonds is omitted
