THE STEAMER JANE MOsELEY.-The re-
mains of iona Cockrell, the night watch
man OF the steamer Jane Moseley. died at
the hospital In Norfolk Monday night from
iojuries sustained by the accident to that
steamer. His remains were carried to
Washington for intermsut. The steamer
was towed to Baltimore last night by the
tug Hercules for repaire. The smokeatack
was recovered from the channel of the river
yesterday afternoon, but 1t Is battered and
torn and OF no value. The investigation
into the cause OF the explosion was COM
peted yesterday by local steamboat inspec.
tors Milligan and O'Sullivap, but they have
not yet rendered their decision. In its &C.
count of the accident the Norfolk Landmark
says:
after the Moseley was towed to Norfolk Su-
pervising Inspector OF Stesm Vessels John w.
CAST, with the local inspectors, took charge Of the
vessel with the idea Of making thorough and
rigid Investigation Of the explosion and the causes
that led to it. The safety valves were taken off and
measured for the purpose of seeing if they were
placed at the point to allow only the pressure Of
twenty pounds permitted by the steamers inspec-
tion papers, as the damage done by the explosion
had the appearance, it was said by tnose who are
acquainted with such things, OF having boon done
by much greater pressure than twenty pounds
Quite number Of mschinsts and boilerm2ksrs
visited the Moseley after the exposion and it was
the unanimous opinion that tho old drum head
hsd been riveted on to the new shield, and to
make the rivet holes hit that what is known a. 8
drift pin had been used and many OF the old riyet
holes cracked thus weakening the boiler. The
drum head of the other boiler was also started,
AID this is said to be an evidence OF the immense
pressure that was on the boiler at the time Of the
| explosion The chief engineer OF the Moseley
says that while he was not on duty at that time,
that he went to the engine-room before the boat
| left Norfolk for Portsmouth 10 see how much
steam wss in the gauges, and that they showed
| pressure OF eighteen pounds and that the water
gauges we're full Tho boilers were built in 1880,
and are twenty two feet in length with diame-
ter of III inches. Since the repairs were put on
the boilers the Moseley had not received an inter-
mediste inspection, and Sapel visng Inspector
CAST said Yesterday that it had taken place that
the defects that lesd to the explosion would have
been discovered by the by droatatic pressure that
would have been put on them"
