CITY WEST NORWALK.
Another disappointment has been our
lot. The committee on city afiairs failed
to have a quorum on Saturday night. After
talking Over matters for a while, the thoughts
’ of all present seemed to turn upon the re- ,
' suits of the town election. .The result on
the whole was satisfactory . to the majority
present, and especially. so to those who
scratched the "‘Turn Coats.” The election
of Capt. Sammis was particularly gratify.
ing, as it was currently rumored that he
was nominated to be defeated. So that
South Norwalk might continue to have a
representative in the board. If this was so,
it shows how desperate is the game some-
times played by politicians to subserve
their ends. Better leave,the people to choose
officers who are not connected with cliques
or clubs. ,
John B. Raymond, Esq., celebrated the
anniversary.of his birth on Friday. His
children and friends made him happy and
feel young again, by their-visit. '
Our community have been highly favor-
ed during the season in having some of
the‘best ministers of this and adjoining
towns to preach in the Chapel on th‘e'Sab-
hath. Rev. -Mr. Taylor discoursed last.
Sabbath to a large and intelligent congre-
gation, basing his extemporaneous remarks‘
on the words “The sabbath was made for
man and not man for the sabbath.” He
answered the arguments of skeptics, and
deprecated-{the almost universal habit of.
professedly christian men and others,read-
ing newspapers on the sabbath. Rev. Mr.
- Williams is expected to preach next sab-
bath. ' > .
George N. Selieck, who was thought to
be slightly injured by being sealded on the
Adelphi, is still complaining and it is feared
is more seriously injured then at first sup-
posed. '
WILTON.
The Zion‘s Hill M. E. Church has reocived
a new roof. '
' Mr. F. Gregory has purchased thejproperty
below Myer’s store, and-is inaugurating a
series of improvements which will add much
to its value and appearance.
Mr. S. B. Middiebrook has been sadly
bereaved, by the death of his estimable wife,
who died on the 4th ult. The stricken
household have the sympathypf all in .this,
their hour of afiiiction. The funeral was
attended at St. Matthew’s church on the
afternoon of'tlie 8th, the Rev. Mr. Walton
officiating. ,
Wilton Division begins another quarter
with G. K Gilbert, W. P., Mrs. D. C. Gris-
wold, W. A., and E. L. Keeler,’ R. S. The
meeting of Tuesday evening last was more
interesting than usual, several visitors from
abroad being present. _
A Wilton man who takes some interest in
the financial attitude of the political situation
suggests that the ballots of the Greenback
factionhliave green backs, in order to give
. the nomin ,' , 'figabsolute value.”
Mrs. , McCulley, a well known
lady of South Wilton, has made her advent
into the lecture field, at the somewhat ad-
vanoe’d age of 73. She has thus far appeared
twice; once in Road’s hall, and again in the
Hurlbutt street Chapel. It is her intention
to favi' every school district in town with
her lecture. The exordium of her lecture is
cleverly written, but the remainder could be
much improved by a closer attention to the
arrangements of dates and facts. This lec-
ture is a sort of history of her life for a cer-
tain period, and she speaks the details before
the public in a very confiding manner. '
Our annual town election passed off quiet—
ly. The democracy were triumphant, ex-
cept where the law governing minority
representation interfered. No license pre-
vailed also. Messrs. N. M. Belden, r. S.
MorehOuse, d. and J. B. Sturges, d., are
selectmen. W. D. Gregory, d. town clerk,
and Elbert Olmstead', d.,treasurer. _
The town meeting ‘was held in the after-
noon, J. Belden Hurlbutt, Esq, being
Moderator. The usual amount of talk was
prevalent, and if “talk is cheap” aWilton
towu meeting could supply the market at
more than “favorable rates. ”
The favorable workings of the dog law is
well illustrated here in Wilton. Over $200
has been received, and as the damage to
sheep falls much below that amount, there
will be quite a surplus for the treasury.
Under the old system not more than $50.
was realized, and yet there weremorc dogs
then than now. ‘

The funeral of Mrs. Andrews, relict of the
late Daniel Andrews, who died Oct. 6th in
the 86th year of her age, took place Wednes-
day afternoon frOm her late residence. Rev.
Z. Davenport officiated. Many aged people
were present. Among the pail bearers were

in Evergreen Cemetery;
The same day occured the funeral, at Cross
Highway, of the late Mrs. Warner Ogden,
daughter of the late Burr Meeker, who died
Sunday evening, Oct. 6th, of cancer, after a
long and painful illness, aged about 40 years.
The remains were conveyed to Fairfield for
burial.
Also on the same day there was buried in
Easton, Mr. Edward Trowbridge, formerly
well-known in this village. Rev. J. R. Wil-

' The repairs now going on in Christ church
rendered the omission Of service last Sunday
necessary. The rector, for the first time in

' _ A FELLOW CITIZEN.
. Rowaxrox, Oct. 4th.
EDITORS Gazer—rs :—Will some one of the
many lady readers of the Gazarru kindly
furnish through its columns a good recipe
for making rye bread, and by so doing oblige
others perhaps, beside myself. s. R.
Messrs. Eni'rons :—Thc verdict of the
Coroner’s Jury in the matter of the explosion
of the boiler of the Adelphi, shows that the
United States law allows 75 per cent. more
pressure to be carried on a boiler than is the
custom and rule of the best mechanicalprac-
tice in this country and Great Britain. Un-
der these circumstances it is a great wonder
that steamboat explosions are not a matter of
almost daily occu‘rrance, especially when we
consider the manner in which many of them
are run and the very slight inspection ,they
generally get. . Those who have watched this
investigation and have heard the evidence
well know that the following is a fair history
of steamboat machinery—not of Mr. White's
in particular, but of the ordinary run of
steamboat and transportation companies’ lines
in general. ’ .
In the first place all steamboat owners seek
out a first class engineer. But you must
know that one of the best recommendations
of a firshclass man in their estimation is the
ability. to work the boat and run her with as
little expenditure for repairs as possible.
Under these circumstances, the engineer in
order to keep his position resorts to all kinds
of makeshifts instead of making sldlstantial
repairs and detaining the boat while they
are being made. Of course the same reasons
lead him to cover as much as possible from
the sight of the U. S. Inspector when he
comes on board, lest perchancc 'he should
order the proper and more costly repairs to
be made. In fact I know of engineers being
hired by steamboat men solely for the reason
that they were thought capable of represent-
ing a worthless boiler in such a light to the
inspector that he would pass it.
Steamboat men never attempt to bribe an
Inspector, never, as that would be a criminal
offence. But the grave dignitaries at Wash.
ington consider it all right and not at all sub—
versive of good discipline to allow the In-
spector to be treated and feted‘ to any extent
by the steamboat owners. Themselves, their
families and friends pass and repass on regu-
lar trips and excursions and partake of the
best, all free of expense. With a sense of
these obligations upon 'him the Inspector
goes on board a steamboat to perform his of-
ficial duty. He is greeted pleasantly and re-
quested to be as expeditious as possible, as the
boat must sail in a few hours on its regular
trip, or it is Chartered for very important
service and is under bonds to sail that day.
The cargo is all in and impatient passengers
are crowding around looking anything but
pleasant at the prospect of delay.‘ ,The
boiler is covered with expensive felting and
cannot be seen on the outside. The Inspec-
tor feels that -it is very mean to make so
good a friend of his as the steamboat owner
injure so valuable a covering, and be there—
fore passesit by. It being so near the sailing
hour the fires cannot be put out, and the in-
spector does not wish, to injure his friend’s
business, and so the inside of the boiler is
not seen. If perchancc after all any repairs
are recommended, the permission is general-
ly given to make them on their return or 'at
almost any convenient season.
It may be saidno owner will allow a boiler

Very true. But what can they expect when
they educate the engineers to take all the
risks which they think can be safely done
and then put such Obstacles in the inspectér’s
way that they cannot point out when the line
of safety has been passed ? The Owner and his
agents are often the ones directly and prima-
rily responsible for a boiler explosion. The
Inspector’s position is similar to that of a
detective,to ferret out and prevent infractions
of . law. No omission of duty on his part
can excuse the principals. If he connives at
it he may be guilty with them, but he can
never stand in their place as th a primarily
guilty one. — "'

TIIE {moon—5';— VERDICT.
’ ‘- S’I‘ATE'OF-CONSEOTICUT,)
" .COUNTY..OEFAIRFIELD ~
Towx or Nonwamr, Oct. 10, 1878. l
The undersigned jurors being duly impun-
neled and sworn to inquire of the cause and
manner of the death of'Gabriel P. B. Hoyt,
Sarah Leonard, Charles R. Ford, and John
G. Lord, whose deaths were sudden and
untimely, and the cause and manner Of
which were unknown, having viewed the
bodies of the said deceased persons and
considered the evidence given to us, do, on
our oaths, say that the said Gabriel P. B.
Hoyt, Sarah Leonard, Charles R. Ford, and
John G. Lord came to their death by. the
explosion of a defective steam boiler on
board the steamer Adelphi, owned by the
Columbia Steam Navigation, Company on
the morning of the 28th day of September,
‘ 1878, in Norwaik Harbor; and we find that
the said steam boiler exploded because of
over-work and over-pressure, legalized by a
.United States statute, increased after shifts
less inspection, and persistently used by the
attendants in Charge after sufficient evidence
of dangerous defects. -
We find that the rules of supervising In-
spectors of Steamboats require: “To as-
“certain the tensile strain of the plates
“(used in manufacturing marine boilers)
“ the inspector shall cause mo pieces to be
“ taken from each sheet to be tested * * *
“that piece showing the greater tensile
“ strain shall be held to be tensile strength
“ of the plates from which the test pieces
“ were taken.” This rule we‘ deem injudi-
cioushas the whole plate is strong only as its
weakest part is strong. .
Furthermore, section 4,433, title LII, U. S.
Revised Statutes, provides: “ The working
“steam_pressure allowable on boilers con-
“ strueted of plates inspected as required
.“ by this.title, when single riveted, shall
“ not produce a strain to exceed one sixth
“ of the tensile strength of the iron or steel
“ plates of which such boilers are construct-
ed.” Wc deem this law unsafe in the ex-
treme and contrary to the best mechanical
authorities both in this country and Great
Britain. Cognizance should be taken of the
fact that the, riveted joint is the weakest
point of the whole structure, being only
,about 56.100 the strength of the solid plate,
and we find that the best practice allows
the strain not to exceed one-sixth the
strength of the riveted joint instead of one-
sixth the strength of the solid plate. Under
this section, -4,433, we find the United
States Inspectors allow about 75 per cent.
more pressure than is the practice of other
reputable mechanical authorities.
We further find that the steam boiler of
said steamboat Adelphi has a single riveted
shell, nine and one-half feet in diameter,
and . also a single riveted sheii,- twelve feet
in diameter, and that section 4,433 provides
that it shall carry thirty-six and one-tenth
pounds pressure per square inch, and no
more; but we also find that Inspector H.
Birdscll, in 1875, and Supervising Inspector
Addison Low, in 1876, allowed said boiler
37 pounds prcssure’ per square inch and that
Assistant Inspector John W. Blake, in 1877,
still further increased this pressure from
thirty-seven to forty pounds per square
inch contrary to law and without the sem-
blance of a reason for so doing; and that he
.again in 187S'fixed the pressure at forty
pounds per the square inch, a few months be-
fore the disastrous explosion.
' We also find that all the aforementioned
certificates of inspection of 1875, ’76, ’77,
and ’78 are false in stating the longitudinal
seams of the boiler to be double riveted-
We further find that the inspection of
John W. Blake .in 1879 to have been very
superficial in many of its most vital features,
and that he is guilty of gross negligence in
the discharge of his duty.
We find that James A. Rowland, the en-
in the ordinary care and management of
said boiler, and that he has accepted and as-
sumed the highest degree of responsibility
in the care of said boiler, in that he has
shown utter disregard of the United States
law by not following the directions of the
Inspector in regard to certain repairs; also
that at the time of inspection he did not re-
port to the Inspector, nor at any time since
certain serious defects in said boiler.
We further find that he is guilty of gross
negligence in that he intrusted important
repaiTs to subordinates without his personal
attention; and also that he adoptd and used
for considerable time, varieties of repairs, as
soft patches, on the bridge wall, known
to be unsafe, and particularly objectiona-
biy to Chief-Engineer Pcasc of the Steam-
boat Company. '
We find that the owners of said steamboat
required of the Chief-Engineer Pease of the
company, by appointing him as captain of
the steamer Grand Republic, duties which
interfered with his proper oversight of the
machinery of the various stcamboats of said
company, and that by so doing they trusted
too much to the engineer in charge of said
boiler, and did not use the degree of care
which the public have a right to demand.
tion was wrongfully obtained by the com-
pany’s agents making false representations
regarding repairs ordered by the inspector.
We find that there exist in the steamboat
inspection service, rules of mechanical prac-
tice at variance with the highest mechanical
authorities; also that a system of petty brib-
ery is adopted by transportation companies
in the assurance to inspectors of free yearly
passes, passage and excursion tickets and
favors which are not granted to the general
public. . , ‘
. We further find that of late years many
inspectors do not use critical care by neg-
lecting to employ their standard steam gauges
in making the inspection of boilers.
We also find that the steamboat inspection
service has not earned the high respect
which' should be expected, but that the an-
nual inspection is termed by some, familiar
with its workings merely a “performance,”
by others a farce.
We recommend that .the boiler covering
be put on in sections, so as to be readily rc-
movcd and easily handled. '
We recommend to the appointing powers
the highest'degree of care in the appoint-
ment of inspectors.
We recommend .to the Honorable Secre-
tary .Of the, Treasury of the United States
that the Steamboat Inspection Service be
thoroughly inspected by a competent com-
mission endued with proper power. and par.
ticuiariy free of all political taint of bias.

We,.the.undersigned, a jury legally impan-
nelled and duly sworn to inquire into the
cause of the deaths of Elijah Betts,Eunicc C.
Boole, Charles R. Ford, Benjamin Ackert,
and James Henry Johnson, whose death were-
suddeh and the cause unknown, having view-
ed the bodies of, said deceased, and having
duly and carefully examined all the evidence
brought before us, do, on our oaths say that
the aforesaid Elijah Betts, Eunice C. Boole,
Charles R. Ford, Benjamin Ackcrt and James
Henry Johnson, came. to their deaths from a
defective boiler on the Steamer Adelphi, on
the mOrning of September 28th. 1878.
And the said jurors further say that the
United States Inspector, J. W. Blake, did
tion, on or about the 25th of June, 1878,
which he should have. done, and by which
the' unsafe condition of said boiler could eas-i
ly have been detected.
And the said jurOrs do further say, that if
the'engineer of the Adelphi, James A. How-
land, had carefully and thoroughly examined
thesaid boiler at the time the soft patch was
applied he would have discovered its unsafe
condition. We hereby subscribe our names.
