CHURCH IMpAOvKMEkN

A base false rumor has been circulated 10
some extent that the Methodist Church is not
safe. A few words of truth may be valuable.
When tbe church was built, IL slate roof was
put on, the building was wide, the timbers
were green and the roof sagged little, which
of course spread the wall some, but not
enough TO peril 1t or injure lis gravity. 1t
was thought best however, 10 remove the
slate and put on shingle. This was done and
additional bolts and braces were put iu, SO
much so that the architect said train of cars
could pass over It with safety. As the feor Of
our auditorium Is under-run by two long
cross. walls and four short ones, and supported
at other points by four strong iron pillars. II
is therefore so strong, that if needful we could
pack itfull cfhaman beings up to the very
ceiling without the slightest danger, unless
the human beings should disagree and hurt
one another. r
With the roof thus strong, the walls safe.
not having budged In eight years, and the
aoor doubly strong, our people have felt per-
fec,ly secure. Stiib as Il is the opinion OF
some architects that ali brick buildings ought
to he rodded, the trustees are now putting in
six iron rods, three above and three below, ID
make safety doubly secure, and TO silence all
doubt and rumor in that direction. As .he
room, lie now the largest, and the floor by fai
the strongest Of any In the place and walk
and roof strong enough to sustain train OF
cars, there Is the most perfect safetey 1t may
also be added that, the trustees contemplate
other interior improvements, such as will
make Il one Of the largest and most beautiful
rooms in the place. A. d. MORTON, Pastor.

evening, and later the family of George
Becker removed his remains.
The exploded boiler belonged to John
Balmore, and was rented of him by
Bemar and Kayne, sub-contractors on
the grading of Fourth avenue, for eight
dollars a day. Mr.. Bemar said last
night that he knew very little about
boilers, but trusted implicitly to the
good faith of the man from whom he
hired them.
Mr.. Bemar narrowly escaped with his
life. At the moment of the explosion
he was crossing the bridge on which
the italian girl was killed, and had just
passed the centre Of the bridge when
the shock came, and the girl was killed.
In his fright Mr.. Bemar stepped sud-
denly backward, and when he recover
ed from the shock he found himself
astride of the dead girl.
The conclusion did great damage in
the neighborhood. Mr.. John Ormston's
saloon was almost Quilted. The win
dows were broken, frames and all, and
n heavy partition between the front and
back rooms was moved nearly a foot.
Mr.. Ormston himself stood in the door
of the Harlem police court, and was
covered with the plaster which fell
from the walls.
The drug store at the corner OF One
Hundred and Twenty eighth street was
also damaged, and such was the force CT
the conclusion that the hasps OF two
doors were wrenched off and the doors
thrown violently open. Besides these
all the houses in the block were more or
less injured, and business was practical
ly suspended last night. In one house
a young man who was lying on table
was thrown to the floor, and a gentle
man who was sitting in an arm chair was
upset.
The origin of the accident is mys-
terry. John Barnum, the engineer, who,
with William Daggert, his assistant, was
arrested soon after the explosion by De-
tective Clark, said that he had charge of
the exploded boiler and another further
up the street. but that he devoted most
of his time to the latter. Twenty min
utes before the explosion he went to the
One hundred and twenty -eighth street
boiler and tried the guages. They were
as they should be. Barnum says he
has passed an examination as engineer,
and that his certificate is in the police
central office. Daggert is carpenter,
but says he understands steam engine
thoroughly. The boiler had capacity
for one hundred and twenty pounds of
steam, but seldom had q pressure OF ever
forty pounds.
There is great indignation in the
neighborhood against the contractors,
who are charged by manywith employing
incompetent men. Mr.. John Ormston
told the reporter, and specially request
ed him to use his name in full that for
the past four days the boiler has been
attended to mostly by boy of thirteen.
This boy, Mr. Ormston says, frequently
strayed away from his charge, and was
called back and reprimanded by Dag
CERT. Another resident says that few
days ago he saw the boy putting water
into the boiler, which was hot, at a
time when the water was too low for
safety.
The contractors deny that the boy
ever had charge of the boiler. An
Investigation will be begun tomorrow.

PHILADELPHIA, November IL. A
committee appointed at a mass-m Getting

Mayor Stokley to-day for the purpose
of ascertaining what could be done to
provide employment for the thousands
of persons out of work. The mayor ex-
pressed his qualification at being con-
suited, and recommended that petit
ton be addressed to the city council
boards, when q committee would be APP
pointed to take some action. Much
outdoor work, he said, could be provid-
ed, but there was also necessity for
providing employment for those accns-
toned to indoor work.

TERRIBLE STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION.

--------------=F N<-
TERRIBLE STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION.
AT about half-past four o'clock yes
terday afternoon, destructive boiler
explosion took place ON Fourth avenue,
between One Hundred and Twenty.
Eighth and One Hundred and Twenty
Ninth streets, New York. AT this point
the bedway of the Central railroad is
being lowered the avenue being at the
same time raised and graded. On the
west side of Fourth avenue, a few feet
north OF One Hundred and Twenty
Eighth street, II hosting machine hos
been posted for the past week or more,
hosting earth from the bed of the rail-
road to the street. The machine was
on platform of heavy planks, which
was moved as required by rollers, while
the boiler which was attached to it was
on wheels. At the hour named, gang
of men We're moving the platform on
which the hosting machine rested, with
view of leveling it. Six OF eight men
We're thus engaged, some of them push
ing or pulling at the heavy machine,
while others We're prying under the plat
form with crowbars and large levers.
Suddenly, and without seconds warn
ing, the boiler exploded, and the men
working about it were thrown to the
ground, most of them being killed in
stantly. Many persons were wounded.
The conclusion broke the windows for
block and mole, frame work as well as
glass, while the plaster of the ceilings
and walls in many of the stores and re-
sidences was torn away and dropped to
the floor.
When the neighbors had recovered
from their fright many of them ran to
the spot. There they saw spectacle
well calculated to appal the most hardy.
Near the bursted boiler lay the almost
headless bodies of four men in the
middle of 12Sth street was the corpse of
n school boy on the corner OF the
street, and not far from the boys body,
was the headless trunk of young lady,
and on bridge which crosses the rail
road at One hundred and twenty eighth
street and Fourth avenue lay little
Italian girl with her, hap beside her.
These were all instantly killed, but in
addition rs many were injured, some of
whom were able to walk away, while
others lay where they fell, either stun
ned by fright or disabled by their in
juries.
As soon as the dead and wounded had
been taken to the station, Drs. Steiner,
Smith, and Brockaway volunteered their
services and devoted themselves to dress
ing the wounds of the injured. Deputy
Coroner Beach took charge of the bod
les of the dead. Having viewed them
he instructed Capt. Bennett to let their
friends have the bodies when they call
ed for them. The bodies of Miss Bassford

every respect OF the closest scrutiny
and imitation. For six weeks we have
lived, and Toasted on all that is beauti-
full in nature and art, and the desires to
renew these delights are as strong and
fresh as the day en which we first set

visiting Europe, generally complain OF
