Terrific Boiler Explosion in Baltimore

Terrific Boiler Explosion in Baltimore.
The steam saw and planning mill of Har-
rington & Brothers, situated on the north
west corner ofFremont and Pratt streets, was
the scene on Friday morning of terrible ca
lamity, caused by the sudden explosion of the
steam boiler ofthe establishment. Three per-
sons-one of the proprietors, tile engineer,
and young man-met their death by being
buried beneath the ruins, and the entire build
ing, or more properly speaking, collection of
buildings, was shattered 10 pieces, and fell
in crumbling mass of ruins to the ground.
1t is considered rather remarkable that
more were not killed or injured, when it is
known that forty three persons were in the
building when the explosion occurred, but
this is partly accounted for by nearly all of
the number being in the second story and es-
capped by jumping through the windows.
The killed were VIM. Harrington, aged AZ,
senior partner of the firm, resides at corner
Pratt and Payson street, and leaves wife
and five children. The family of Mr.. Har-
llnSton kHcW noInlnS Oh MS ucaJn until his
body was taken home. Their grief was ter
rible.
Grayson Jennings, engineer, aged 40, re-
sides on Hollins street, near Oregon; leaves
n wife and several children.
VIM. Clarke, aged IS, son of the late Po-
liceman Clarke, who was murdered by Fred
erick Kessey, ON Holiday street some months
ago. Mrs. Clarke resides on Aisquith street,
near Madison, and the first intimatlon of the
death of her son was the presence of his dead
body at the door about o'clock. She was
perfectly agonized by the terrible news, and
the scene is described as heart rending.
The wounded numbered ten or more, some
of whom received serious injuries.

ANNUAL Meeting OF the hartford Mutual
Fire Insurance COnnany.


The annual meeting of the stockholders of
this Company took place at the Court House
on Monday, when the old board of directors,
with two exceptions, were e-electcd for the
ensuing year. The report of the Secretary,
which we publish this week, was read and
shows that the affairs Of the Company have
been prudently and carefully managed the
past year. and are in q highly flourshiug
condition The losses paid during the year
amount TO nearly $4,000, two of them alone,
those of Gen. George Cadwalader ($G,9O0)
and Mr.. John Lilly, ($6,062,) making $12, 0G2
Of the entire sum.
1t appears by comparison with former
years that the average loss each year hereto
fore has been about $4,000, so that the losses
paid in 1871 were nearly three times as great
as the average of preceding years. Notwith-
this severe pressure, no assessment of the
premium notes has been resorted to, the in
terest paid in during the year having been
sufficient to liquidate all the losses incurred :;
leaving besides balance of $674.77 in the
Treasury. These facts alone speak volumes
for the Company and are guarantee of its
safety and continued usefulness
The report also shows that there are now
in force 2,511 policies, 15G of which were is
sued last year.
We congratulate the board of directors and
officers of the Company upon the gratifying
exhibit presented by their report and the
marked extension of the usefulness of the
Company.
Upon the conclusion Of the stockholders
meeting, the newly elected board of directors
met, and reelected Col John Carroll Walsh
President, and Major VIM II. Dallam secre-
tary.
There is one rule now in force in the Com
pany which we regret was not rescinded at
the general meeting. We allude to the reg
ulation requiring the owner of real estate to
join in the premium note of a tenant who de-
sres to effect insurance. This provision de-
pals very many persons who own no real cs-
tate from the advantages cf the Company,
ana compels them to insure elsewhere, thus
taking out of the county annually no incon-
siderable sum of money, which should be left
IN our midst. No necessity exists, so far as
we can sec, for the rule, inasmuch rs the in
lerest on premium notes is paid in advance,
IND where payment ceases the responsibility
of the Company for losses also terminates.
few years ago losses such as were met
with last year would inevitably have over
whelmed the Company in financial disaster,
but the increase in the number of insured and
the consequent increase in the assets of the
Company, have enabled it to tide over the
breakers in perfect safety. 1t is therefore
safe to argue that the greater the number of
persons insured the more permanent and
prosperous will be the Company provided
its affairs are prudently and economically
administered.
We merely throw out this suggestion. leav-
ing it to the consideration of the stockhold-
crs until the next general meeting.

A LAMENTABLE FACT.-The Baltimore
Gagetto, in an article reviewing the events of
the past year, notes the following significant
fact, which should be well considered by Re.
publcans as well as Democrats, for it is alb.
solutely certain that when the downfall of
liberty in this country is complete, all will
alike feel the chains of despotism:
1t behooves us, nevertheless, to fully under
stand that we are farther to-day from the old
landmarks of the Constitution more accus-
toned to unrebuked violations of law, the
exercise of arbitrary power, and the degra-
dation of public morals and political honesty
than we were twelve months ago. The de.
cadence has been steady and unchecked, and
all the guards that were framed to protect
our liberties in the better days of the Repub-
lie, with pride in their strength to resist ty-
rannical power, and with confidence in their
ability to repel the storms of political pas
sions, are being gradually broken down.

FUNDS Too HEAVY FOR THE DARKEy.---
The effort made, TO impeac4 Gov. Scott
of South Cafolina, has failed. Not, howev-
er, from want of facts on which to rest such
movement. But the spoils of office have
madea Gov. Scotia millionaire; and the
power of his money was ample to purchase
as much of the saleable material ofthe Leg
lslature as was necessary to rescue him
from the dangers Of impeachment. This
was the force which rescued Gov. Scott
from conviction and punishment.
But the moral verdict of the nation is
against him, and his name will be linked
with those of Holden, Bullock, Reed, Aus
TIN and Butler in all coming histories of
dishonest of1icials,-10e.

day evening, 9th ult., colorcd man driving
young horse and buggy, stopped at the
Hotel of Mr.. West, Mt. Pleasant, Cecil coun-
ty, and ordered his horse put up for the night.
The horse was without shoes behind, little
lame and chyfatigued. He then enquired
whether there were any colored people living
near. He was informed there WERE The
negro being stranger, and the appearance
of the horse tired and worn, excited the sus-
pcion of Mr.. West, who questioned him as
to his residence, whether the horse was his,
&c. He replied he had purchased the horse
of q gentleman he worked for at Doe Run,
Chester county, and was on his way to Bal
timore. He then proceeded to the residence

The attendance at the opening of the
session was not so large as usual, owing,
it is suggested, to the fact that the Legis-
