Experts Agree Upon Cause
Of Explosion in City
Of Trenton

After a thorough examination Of the
boiler Of the ill-fated steamer City Of
Trenton, which blew up in the Delaware
river, made yesterday by the United
States Inspectors Of Steamboat Boilers.
a unanimous opinion was reached as to
the cause Of the explosion.
r. 5. Rode, Chief Inspector OF Steam
boat Boilers for the Second district,
whose headquarters are in New Yc-k.
personally examined the exploded boiler,
assisted by local United States Inspector
Christian Vert and Assistant Inspector
w. ). Howard. Mr.. Rode made an ex-
haustiye investigation. lie examined
every tube, took the measurements Of the
iron plates, counted bolts and braces and
noted those missing and finally made n
rc-oNamination of the hull Of the wrecked
City of Trenton.
After the completion Of the work, Mr..
Rode said: "On the first day l came
mere to investigate this matter l formed
al opinion as to the cause of the exiin-
sion. ana now that my examination of
the boiler and the hull is practically COM
plcted may say that my lirst conclusion
is borne out by what ! have seen. We
What remains TO be done now is TO ascer-
tain who did certain things which affect
ed the boiler just previous to the explo-
sion.
The explosion was not caused by any
foreign substance in the coal or 10y any
force from without. The crown sheet of
the furnace was blown out. tearing away
with it over 400 bolts and braces The
tube sheet which was riveted TO the crown
sheet of the furnace, was also torn
nut and shattered. The crown sheet was
half-inch in thickness, which is the .hick-
ness required by law, and a by 1-6 feet.
Ii was torn loose at the back Of the fur
mace.
1.-The facts which we now desire to get
at we hope will be forthcoming at the in
quiry which viii be made at our offices
in the Postofiice building within a few
days. While one witness is being exam
ined the other witnesses will be ex-
cluded."
Although the inspectors absolutely re-
fuse 70 divulge what they concluded to be
the direct cause of the explosion, it is
generally believed that the water in the
boiler became so low that the crown sheet
became red hot and in an 6ttempt 10 in
iect water steam was generated So quick
" that an explosion followed. Wao made
the attempt to FIRE the boiler is not
known.
Among those present during the exam
nation Of the boiler were General Man
ager Horace Wilson. Of 1he Wilmington
Steamboat Company. and General Agent
Edwards. Mr.. Wilson said after the eX.
amination: II lave not been informed
Of tho result Of d examination. Within
the next forty-eieht honrs the company
nay hlte q stltsEsnt for tie puhlic.
