Fined Five Dollars.

Rernard Scott, cOlOred, who was ar
rested in Baltimore late Thursday night
at the instigatiOn OF Engineer Robert
ZONES. of the steamer Jane MOsely, aud
charged with attempting to blow up the
steamer. was fined 50 and costs yester-
day afternoon by Justice Leake, at the
Southern police station. Mr.. Jones
testified that Scott was standing at the
rail of the engine-rOom presumably peer
ing into the hold out of curiosity. Sud
denly. as he turned his back to give his
attention TO another portion of the ma
chinery, he said he heard asharp, crack
ling noise, and upon turning discovered
Scott hastily drawing his hand from the
cylinder of the engine. Observing that
the exhaust valve had been removed,
and cognizant of the fact that it could
not have been removed by the Earring OF
the boat or by the throbbing of the huge
boilers, Mr.. Jones said that he was
confident the negro was responsible for
the act. The valve, he said, weighed IN
the neighborhoOd of 800 pounds, and it
would nave OeeD an utleI llPVoei
bility for it to have been removed from
the hook without the most precise eau
ton. Had the temporarily disabled
machinery have been allowed to exist for
any lengthy period. something would
necessarily have had to give way, and it
was only by the prompt action OF the
crew that a catastrophe was averted.
Scott testified that he had been drinking
and had descended to the lower deck in
order to wash his hands. While passing
the engine-room he said that he had
stopped merely out ofcuriOsity to observe
how:the machinery worked when under
"a high pressure. While leaning on the
rail be said his arm slipped and be slight
ly pitched forward, his hand falling on
the machinery 1t was at this juncture,
he said, that the engineer turned and
saw his hand resting on the boiler. IL
was purely an accident, he remarked and
could not have been avoided under the
circumstances.
