Yesterday telegraphed you the statement of
Captain Samuel Bartlett, of the Arctic steamer
Panther, in reference to the disaster board the
steamer Tigress, giving the result OF his meeting
with the latter in distress. / have now the story
from Captain Isaac Bartlett commander OF the
Tigress. as reported to the owners here to-day
Messrs. Harvey Co. This report gives some
additional details respecting the matter, and
seems to indicate belief on the part of the CON-
mander that the boiler gauges were out Of order
and hence the disaster.
ISAAC BARrLErT's STATEMENT.
Captain Isaac Bartlett says
ION Thursday, the I'd Of April, at three P. NJ,
was standing on the bridge. The vessel at that
time was slowly steaming through the ice All at
once saw smoke and steam Issuing from the
engine room hatch in great volume. Personally
had felt no shock and was not aware OF an explo-
sion having occurred until saw the men rushing
up through the matches. Some one exclaimed,
THE BOILERS HAVE BURST
amid scene of great excitement Men ran
hitler and thlther, ana, partly from surprise and
partly from terror, three men jumped overheard,
but they were subsequently rescued and taken on
board the vessel.
'.Ten men were killed instantaneously. Eleven
others died In great agony on the day following
Among these were the first and second engineers
The first engineer was a native OF Dundee; the
second, named Booth, belonged to Philadelphia.
CAUSE or THE ACCIDENT.
"An the evidence could gather from the stokers,
coalheavers and assistants tends to show that the
fame sheet and tube plate gave way. The shock
was felt below deck very much, as the explosion
tended downwards. l am unable to give the
specific cause OF the explosion. At the time the
gauge indicated suficiency Of water; but 1t is
now supposed the gauge was out of order.
THE BOILER.
ssThe boiler was built in Philadelphia by Messrs.
Neafe Levy, and in January last it was tested for
100 pounds pressure to the square inch, the test
being made In presence OF the first engineer and
myself as captain OF the vessel On the day of the
explosion the steam gauge lnulcateu SILKY POUNDS
pressure, and on the day previous there was q
pressure of eighty pounds.
Gan the men killed were on top OF the boiler al
the time. They were mostly men in poor circum
stances and leave sorrowing families for whom il
is proposed mere to get up subscription"

Hngs, bitter sort of farce II Dr.. Fulton de
sres to initiate the ancient custom of baptism
exactly why does he palm off on his con-
science bathing tub filed with hot Croton
for the flowing and lordly Jordan? His bap-
tistry, surrounded by steam pipes to keep the
aqueous fluid at the right temperature, no
more resembles the full tide of the sacred
river than do the few drops with which the
rest Of Christendom is satisfied We are not
given to philosophic research in these matters
but to our untutored mind the water has little
or nothing to do with the service. If a man s
heart has been baptized the pint or pondful
of water is OF little moment.
Now, if this were mere eccentricity on the
part OF the Brooklyn champion we should
nave very little to say about it. Personal pc
'cullarlties are not matters Of public concern.
But when man, however Insignificant he
may be of himself, speaks as the representative
OF large, useful, devoted and influential body
OF Christians, he becomes public property, and
must not complain if he is roughly handled
When he stands boldly before the community
az the champion Of disunion, melting his
brethren to rebellion against that inevitable
progress which will make us all shake hands
with each other at last, and openly declaring
that no man is right who has not the trademark
of J. D. Fulton on his back, we pity his imbe-
cility while we expose his folly.
We speak in the interest of that large class
who believe that religion and common sense
are not SO far separated as certain orators would
have us think when we say that the last move
OF that important denomination to which we
have referred is mistake The world is
ready to forgive the most extravagant conf
dence in the future, but there is no room on
the planet for q man whose face is turned en-
viously towards the past. The genuine re-
igion of to-day is the religion of shoulder to
shoulder, and he who breaches or practises
anything else will be made as uncomfortable
as he who rides on corduroy road in an old
fashioned wagon without springs. Do not
block the wheels, gentlemen, and do not try
to make yourselves conspicuous by donning
Continental coat or preaching Continental
sermons. In the olden time
Their crude notions with each other fought;
Inc ADVERSE sect denied what this had taught;
And ne at length the ampest triumph gained
VINO cpntradicted what the last maintained.
Those days have gone by and cannot reap
pear. What we demand now is the amplest
liberality towards all who prove their right to
our respect by honor and charity.
For NOES of faith let graceless zealots fight;
HIS cant be wrong whose life Is in the right.
