Cuo1sNAT1, Dec. 19.-The Coroner's jury this
afternoon brought in verdict in the case OF the
Water Works accident Of last week, by which
four men perished, that the scaffo1d constructed
by John Foley, the contractor, was defective on
account OF the weakness Of the principal rafters
and the inauficiency of the lateral braces; and
that it WAS unequal to the weight it was required
to support. It also holds that the hydraulic
engineer at tho works, John Richardson, was
morally bound to report the unsafeness OF the
scaffold to the Water Works Board. No direct
censure was made,
The Western Union Telegraph Company en-
tered suit in the United States Court, to-day,
to recover $4,000 from Hamilton County, being

receipts is without warrant from the Constitu-
tica Of Ohio or Of the United States.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 19-About o'clock
this morning the sWitch-engine "Rover," on the
Louisville, New Albany l. Chicago Railroad, ex-
ploded while standing at the corner of Fifth and
Union streets. Only two persons were on the
engine, David McNary, the engineer, better
known on the road as Sandy" and youth
named Kilgore. The engineer Was found dead
about fifty feet from the engine. kilgore was
blown some distance, and badly injured, but
will probably recover. The houses on either side
Of the street weze completely riddled. Numerous
hair-breadth escapes occurred. The most PROM
inent was that Of Mr.. McGilberry and his
wife, living on the corner opposite the explosion.
The windows and doors of their houee we're
blown tofrag1nents, and large piece Of the driv-
ing-wheel fell through the house and on the bed
where they we're sleeping. Their room was Liter
ally torn to pieces, and still they escaped With
out serious injury. The engine Is q complete
wreck. Not fragment Of the boiler Was left
near it. Large pieces were blown in every dir6c-
zion for four Or i've squares. Nothing definite
hsa heen ascettained as to the cause OF the e1-
ploBion.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL RAID.

Captain French organized raid upon the
gambling houses in his district last evening.
Nine places we're visited simultaneously, but
not keeper or 3 player could be found,
though it is positively known that
nearly all Of the rooms were in full blast = few
minutes before the officers left the station
There can be no doubt but that the gamblers
were notified Of the raid Immediately
before the raiding-party received its
instructions, and there can be no doubt also but
that the informant did not belong to the Police
Department, because Captain French was the
only officer on the force who knew anything
of it until the men we're drawn mp
in limo and directed how to proceed.
There are good grounds for suspecting that 3
certain individual Was guilty OF the diahonor
able act, and it is moro than probable that he
put his foot in 1t. The police, to use
slang, but expressive phrase, are
"oa 9' to him." 4 repetition ot the
trick will cost him more than the gamblers pay
him for his information. It is but just to state
that Captain French is not responsi-
ble for the unsuccessful termination
Of the raid. He did all any man could to con-
duct the movement secretly, and would have
been rewarded with station full OF prisoners
but for the accident mentioned.
