THE ADE1pH1's ROTTEN BOILER.

THE ADELPHI S ROTTEN BOILER.
| New YORK, Sept. 30.-The Brooklyn Euaze
publishes the following about the rotten con-
dition of the boiler of the Adelphi recently
exploded at Norwalk: William Merritt, of
Eighteenth street, youth of 18, was employed
as fireman on board the steamboat Ade1phi,
but two days ago he left through quarrel with
fellow fireman. He stated to representative
of the Eagle, during the period he was employ
| ed as fireman he was in constant terror that the
| boiler would burst. One month ago he was en-
gagged with fireman John Haley in putting a
patch over another patch, when they heard a
Missing noise and both rushed out on deck, the
latter exclalming, II guess the old thing has
gone up this time.' After few minutes they
returned and found the boiler leaking very
badly. There were a number of passengers on
terrified to give the alarm, and when they saw
that no explosion had taken place, they con-
cluded it would be the better policy to say
nothing about it. At another time when SHOW
cling out ashes, they heard the same noise and
saw thin volume of steam issuing from an
aperture around an old patch. They took no
| notice of it at this time and proceeded with
their work. During the summer season he and
the other fireman used frequently to be obliged
to work until l o'clock in the morning
cleaning the valves and making
constant repairs. One day an engineer came
and examined the boiler and departed with the
remark: 'That boiler will 90 soon.'' The
boiler-maker was frequently there putting on
| patches, and he heard him frequently say,
| why don't they geta new boiler; this damned
old thing will make hell of q time some day.
The boys used to joke about the boiler, and af-
ter each trip they would chaff each other and
say, well, you have escaped this time but
you will go up next"
