Hartford's1Hot Disaster.

THE CoRoNERs JURY sHoLn6S THE ENGINEERS
RESPONSIBLE -PoR IT,,
Coroner sperry has published his report
of the recent Park Central hotel disaster
at Hartford, Conn, in which % persons were
killed. He examined IA Witnesses holding a
private and personal examination in each in
stance. He finds that the building was of frail
construction, but il unable to say whether this
had anything to do with increasing the loss of
life. no building probably could have re-
well-built and was six years old. 1t
was left unattended from midnight until 5
a. m. except that Geo. Gaines, the colored
night porter, who was killed, was expected to
have charge of the furnace. The fires were
banked as usual on the night of the explosion.
Edward Boyle, a dissipated character. was
left asleep in the furnace room that night No
evidence is found of local weakness of the boiler.
On several occasions within year the safety
valve had blown of steam, making considerable
disturbance in the hotel, and on two occasions
it blew off about o'clock in the morning.
out of their room1 in their night cloth
ing The coroner finds that there was
plenty OF water In the boiler at
the time of the explosion, and that the disaster
was due to over pressure, the safety-valve be-
ing out Of order so that the pressure could
not be relieved. 1t is clear that all the out
lets Of the boiler were closed that night and
that some person turned on the drafts in the
early morning, probably the night porter.
THE ENGINEERS HELD RESPONSIBLE
The coroner found that the engineers, Thuer
and Ridley, were legally responsible for the
care of the boiler and he concludes, Il am forced
to the conclusion that the explosion was caused
by the wilful negligence of Alex. Thuer and
Amos Risley, and that said Thuer and Risley
did, on the 18th day of February, 1889, thereby
wilfully and negligently cause the death at
Hartford Of the following persons" (naming
them.) Thuer and Risley are under 1880
bonds each for trial

A New Verb, ''to Pigott."

from the Pail Mall Gazette.
Already the topic of the day has impressed
itself upon the English language, and the words
''pigottry" and to "pigott" have been passed
from papers into parliamentary usage. Here
is passage from Mr.. Healy's speech on Thurs
day. which will appear in due course. / sup
pose, in the new English dictionary: 'Feeli ng
the pressure Of that point the right honorable
gentleman put up the solicitor-general for Ire
land yesterday to make a archaeological
him, in fact. and he pigotted the house" The
speaker did, indeed, subsequently remark that
Mr.. Healy made use of an expression which,
trust, will not become common in this house "
But new words which ''catch on" as the phrase
is, can not be stopped even by so powerful a
person as the speaker of the house of commons.
and | expect that Ito pigott' will become AZ
much of a recognized term as to boycott.

A New Destroyer Invented.

PLANS FOR POWERFUL SUBMARINE RAM PER-
FEcTED By WILLIAM CAvETT.
Pittsburg Special to the New York World, March 13
VIM. X. Cavett, foreman at the works of the
Porter machine company, to-day made public
the plans he has patented for a new submarine
ram, and next week they will be laid before the
Secretary of the Navy Mr.. Cavett has pro-
duced a boat that can do deadly work in a
minute, and that is almost impregnable to an
enemy's onslaughts. The boat will be flush
shaped back. covered with heavy steel plates
In the forward part of the vessel will be heavy
cylinder. similar to those used on engines. 1t
will be about fifteen feet long and will contain
piston-rod twelve or fifteen inches in diam
eter This piston will extend through the bow
of the boat and will be the ram proper. IL will
be propelled by force of steam amounting to
from fifty to one hundred and fifty tons, and
will work with the rapidity of lightning. The
force will be enough to pierce the side of the
heaviest ironclads at one blow.
The business end of the ram will be made
cup-shaped, so that the sharp edges will take
hold anywhere they happen to strike, and there
will be no possibility of the rod glancing. Mr.
Cavett promises a speed of twenty to twenty
two knots an hour. He says that he has COM
puted the striking force of the piston, and esti-
mates that. with a sixty-ton force, il will knock
plate from the heaviest man-of-war afoat.
Only six men will be needed ON board the boat,
and the only vulnerable place on the craft will
be a small glass-covered aperture about foot
pact will be the cked little vessel that it can
be carried on board a man-of.war and be used
in encounters at sea as well as for harbor

VISITORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
An Indication From the President About
appointment to ONCE.

An Indication From the President About
appointment to once.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The rush of
visitors to the White House continues TO-
day, but they are much lees numerous
than on the three previous days. For the
fret time since he entered the White House
the President was able to devote the en-
tire forenoon 10 visitors who had business
with him. He received up stairs in his
Office and was engaged with them from ten
o'clock to dearly one O'Clock.
Precedent Harrison will devote as much
of his time as possible during the remain
der Of this week TO the public and Will re-
ceiye whoever calls; but beginning next
week he will close the doors to all but
Senators and Representatives, in order that
he may be uninterrupted in the Considera-
tion OF applications for the higher positions
now vacant or likely 10 become vacant
The frst-class appointments to Re taken
up are the assistant secretaries OF the ex'
ecutive departments and the heads Of bu-
Teaus, after which he will proceed to fill
the vacancies that already exist. These
are quite numerous, and include the
Comptroller of the Currency, the Superin-
tendent of Indian Schools. Civil Service
Commissioner, Chief Justice of the Dis
trict of Columbia, Commissioner of the Dis
trict of Columbia, United States Judge for
the Northern District OF Florida, Unitet
States District Attorney for Indiana, and
several other equally important offices for
which Mr.. Cleveland made nominations
that the Senate refuse 10 confirm. The
next class of offices to be taken up will be
those of the diplomatic corps, that the Sem
ate may act upon the nominees before they
leave the country.
The Post today says: 'The President
has indicated in an unmistakable manner
that it is h;s intention to recognize the
Senators and Representatives from the sew
eral States, aud accept their recommended
tious in the distribution of patronage, re-
gsrdless of personal feeling. He looks upon
the members of Congress as the representa-
tives of the States, chosen by the people
and considers that they should be more ia
miliar with the qualifications Of candidates
and public preferences in their several dis
tricts than any unauthorized person may
he. and he will also save himself from a
great deal of annoyance by receiving the
views of the members of Congress through
the beads of departments in his Cabinet,
whose recommendations for appointment
will be final"
Secretary BlaiL received a number of
the diplomatic representatives of foreign
governments this morning.
The Navy Department has postponed
from March 10, 1889, to April 3, 1889, the
time for receiving proposals for the con-
struction Of an armored coast defente YES
sel. This order of postponement was Sec
retary Tracys first official act.
