private character, made by T. r. lIoar, May
17th 1874, upon the floor of Congress, in
obedience, as he alleges, to the promptings of
the Secretary of State, that "My friends in
Congress demanded the production of the
evidence upon which that official assault was
made, and the Secretary sent to the Senate
the papers which contained ex. doc. No.
That document instead of sustaining these
charges made against me while envoy extra

Further particulars in regard to the boiler
explosion on the Portland & Ogdensburg Rail
road state the four men in the cab of the en-
CINE at the time of the explo sion to be the
conductor, engineer, fireman and brakeman.
The cab was torn completely to pieces. The
conductor received several bad scalds and
his face was filled with fakes of boiler iron.
Mcdonald, the fireman, was also badly cut in
the face by pieces of the boiler and bruised
by the conclusion. Harrington, the brake
man, escaped with few bruises. A piece Of
the boiler also struck train hand, but it did
not not seriously injure him.
The boiler showed flaw in the left side
where the explosion started.
Mr. Smith, the engineer, was young man
about 22 years of age, and leaves wife and
one child three years old.
AS the train reached the long down grade,
this side of Stroudwater bridge-about three
miles from the city-an unusual noise was
heard. The eng ineer remarked upon it, first
turned the cock to clear the cylinders and
then thrust his head through the right hand
window of the cab to see what the matter
was, at the same time leaning his body out as
far as he could. The fireman thrust his head
out of the left hand window. Harrington
sprung to the brakes, and conductor Barrett
started to rise from his seat, close by Smith,
the engineer. All this but the work of mo-
ment. At that instant the boiler exploded,
tearing off piece on top about six feet long,
that extended from the rivets on the centre of
one side to the rivets ON the centre of the
other. This piece of boiler tore the cab COM
pletely in pieces, struck the engineer, knock
ing him off the train, literally smashing his
head to fragments, breaking both arms and
one leg. He must have been instantly killed.
After the explosion the train still kept the
rails, with the trucks of the engine, and was
a quarter of a mile across Scarboro marsh
before it came to a standstill.
The damage to the locomotive is fixed at
about 1000.
The explosion bent one of the rails of the
track about six inches out Of its line for quite
distance.
One of the occupants Of the cab says there
was plenty of water in the boiler. for just be-
fore the explosion the engineer looked and
remarked that the pipe was two-thrds full Of
water.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury has not
yet been given.
