safety-valve relieved it, but the boiler
was q patched one, and that close to a
weak spot, the man-hole, through
which engineers enter boilers to clean
them out. That the boiler was unsound
at the break there can be but little
doubt, for it was on the representation
to that effect Of several gentlemen at
the barge Office, with reference to q
piece that was blown on the dock, that
made Inspector Jameson seize the piece
and carry it off to the police headquar-
ters. Thomas F. Powers, Brooklyn
Boiler Inspector, yesterday examined
the boiler OF the West6eld, and SAYS:
The explosion, in my opinion, occurred
from over-pressure of steam, as there is
no appearance OF low water; but on
the contrary there is every evidence of
there having been plenty of water.
New YORK, August l, Evening
The investigation of the cause of the
calamity on Monday last, by the ex-
plosion Of the boiler on the ferry boat
West6eld, will be made rigid and COM
plete. The Coroner will summon a
jury composed of intelligent and relia-
BILE men, who will hear and weigh the
testimony and render verdict in strict
accordance with the facts The inquest
will be commenced next Tuesday week.
Among the witnesses who will be sum-
moned are the Captain, Engineer, eight
or ten surviving passengers, and several
experts in the manufacture and man
aging Of boilers. Divers who have
been at work all day seeking for bodies
at South Ferry, have given up the task,
nothing having been discovered since
the search commenced this morning
Graphing has also been stopped, and
nothing more may be expected until
the bodies are found in different parts
OF the bay. No further deaths are re-
ported this afternoon. Several funerals
Of the recognized bodies took place to-
tomorrow.
BROOKLYN, August 1.-The Kings
county Coroners will hold an inquest on
the bodies Of three Of the victims Of the
boiler explosion of yesterday. The Cor
oners have ascertained from a judicial
source that they have power to sum-
mon witnesses from other counties and
will act accordingly.
New YORK, August 1.-The deaths
resulting from the boiler explosion on
Sunday are rapidly swelling by the de.
cease Of the wounded in the hospitals.
Andrew Nesbit and Eliza Kuchner died
at Bellevue this evening; Thos. Smith,
a child ten months old, also died this
afternoon, and G. Matthews died from
injuries received on the Westfeld. This
will swell the list OF deaths to sixty
four.

WhOlesaIeDrunken and Bloody
kiot-TwO Men Killed and Six
WOundah .F

GoLDsBoRo, N. c., July 30.-During
the entire day the town has been the
scene of bloodshed and serious riot.
About five thousand negroes arrived
here this morning from Newbern and
the lower counties, on an excursion
train. chartered BY the Republican
State Executive Committee, to attend
an ante, Convention mass meeting. Con-
gresham Thomas, United States Sena.
tor Abbott, Marcus Erwin and R. C.
Badger were the speakers. Large
numbers Of the negroes were intoxica-
ted upon their arrival, and many
OF them soon became disorder
ly, One of them, who was
particularly turbulent, was arrested
by the police, but on their way to the
guard house they were attacked by the
negro mob and the prisoner rescued.
Some OF the colored police then fired at
the prisoner, who, after a desperate ec.
fort, was recaptured and taken to the
Exchange Hotel. About one thousand
negroes then with clubs and pistols made
an assault on the hotel in the attempt
to again rescue the prisoner. The mob
began by assailing the police with brick
bats and clubs, which was followed by
the use Of firearms on both sides, until
regular fusilade was in progress. The
excitement at this time (two P. NJ. } was
intense, and the white citizens, who had
hitherto taken no part in the riot, armed
themselves for any emergency that might
arise Some forty or fifty shots were
fired in all. One negro rioter and one
colored policeman killed, four white
citizens hurt and wounded and two COL
ored men wounded are the casualties OF
the rot
Congressman Thomas, who had con-
troll of the mob, would not come near
the disturbance and made no effort to
queH the riot, which lasted over one
hour. A committee Of citizens, ap'
pointed by the Mayor, requested the
Republican leaders and Mr.. Stanly,
President Of the railroad, 10 take the
negroes away in order to arrest further
blOolshed. Stanly refused to comply,
and when told that Thomas and him
self would be held responsible for the
disturbance, replied: "Hold us respon-
sble and be damned" '.'
