him the wreck, and who the

Mr. A. N. Williams, OF Philadelphia being called the
stand, he testified as follows:--
am the superintendent Of gas fixtures manufacturing
company Philadelphia the Keystone Townsend Engineers,
Society requested here the
of the disaster: LETT Philadelphia Monday a. hafpast

four r. M; the boiler exploded, in my opinion,
owing the fact that there dfercntai

OF the engineer in blowing oct the boiler and keeping 1t

water is of ordinary density, will require 2l2 degrees
Fahrenheit to make II boil IL gauges all closed
would increse in density; IL the density Of the
water increased BY sediment of foreign organic
