DISASTER AND DEATH. TONE -?f.f-V KILLED Att'??tTttAZ-?K JUBED BY A BOILER EXPLOSI?N. Freaks Of tb? Flying Fragment ?-The Casualties ?nd the Damage-Nobody to Blame but Everybody to be Pilled' Tb e Coroner's Inqnest. At about ten o'clock yesterday moralee the residents and business men of the eastern portion of the city were alarmed by a tre mendous: concussion which echoed in the air like the report of a simultaneous discharge oi a whole park of artillery, and which proved to be occasioned by the explosion of a large steam boiler employed in the machine shop of the Phoenix Iron Works of Messrs. John F. Taylor & Co., on Pritchard street, near East Bay. The works and the neighborhood were soon thronged with an excited multitude of persons anxiously inquiring the fate o? their Tienda and relatives among the hundred workmen employed in the establishment, and all eager and curious to learn the result of the terrible explosion. It was ascertained mat THE CASUALTIES, considering the force of the explosion and the number of persons at work on the premises, were remarkably lew, but they included, un? fortunately, the loss of one life, that of Master Frederick Barton, an apprentice of the estab? lishment, who was, for the time, in charge of theure under the boiler, and who Buffered a ter? rible death at his poet of duty. This was the only death, and the only other workman who sus? tained severe or serious injuries was Mr. John Robinson, whose right loot and ankle were so terribly crushed as to probably render amputa? tion necessary. In addition to this there were a number of slight casualties, as recorded below, and the usual number of. miraculous escapes, but there Is much cause for gratitude and congratulation in the fact that a much larger number of the employees were not killed or maimed for life. The following diagram will afford an idea of the SCENE OF THE DI~ASTER. Fence, Foundry. C .1 A I ss Piltchard street. REFERENCES. ? A-The Exploded Boiler. - B-Blacksmith Shop. C-John Robinson. ?-Shed. B-The Steam Drum. THE CAUSE OF THF. EXPLOSION' Is a matter of mystery. Th e -bol : er waa a thir? ty-horse power tubular heifer, built of five sixteenth plate iron. The shell was between four and live years old, bat the flues and all the Interior .parts ot the boiler bad been re? newed about six weess ago, when it was thoroughly overhauled, tested and made as goeid as new 'throughout. A test of seventy pounds of steam was successfully applied at that time, and lils stated that lt was under hat fifty-two pounds pressure at the time of the explosion. It was located jost outside of the machine shop at the point marked A in the above diagram, resting on a brick founda? tion and enclosed, for the sake of protection against fire, in a seml-cyllndrical case of sheet I Iron. Mr. Michael Kelly, the foreman, of the j works, ha&tBwieft tte boiler, which, he cer? tifies, was^^'a^uT?E'^ pres- j sure, when he heard the noise of THE EXPLOSION", and was stunned and confused for the moment by the crashing of the Umbers of the machine shop in which he stood, the whizz of the tre? mendous masses Of iron hurtling through the air, the cries of tho wounded men,' and above all by the shocking sight ot poor Barton's mangled body as lt whirled through the air. This was a' ghastly scene. The poor lad was standing In front of the boiler, and must have been struck In his lace, which was found hor? ribly gashed and disfigured He was hurled aa though shot from a mortar, high in the air, and la a northerly direction, over the ience represented above, and his mangled and quivering body came down with a sickening thud on the roadway leading to the wharves at the loot of Hasel street, over an hundred leet from the place where he had stood but a moment belore. The unfortunate youth was thereon of Captain Frank Barton, an old coasting captain well known In this communi? ty, was sixteen years and four months old, and lived with his parents In Johnson's Bow, East Bay. Of THE OTHKR SUFFERERS, the one most seriously injured was John Rob? inson, who was standing just inside the door ol the moulding shop, at the point marked O In the above diagram, and wag struck by a large piece of thecast iron ' fire-plate, weigh? ing in the neighborhood Of a buridred pounds, which was burled i through a second story j window of the building, s triking Robin son on his right leg. The snkle and right foot Were j terribly crushed and mangled, and the arte? ries severed. Tile wounded-man was con? veyed to his home on WaR street, .where*he was attended by Dr. Dav?ga, who ls endea? voring to Bave the limb, but with small pros pe'ctrof'succeBs. John Early, living in South street, was bruised about the back and the side of the head, and J. L. Lyons, Michael Blanche and John Quinn also sustained slight injuries. The latter's escape from instant death was I almost miraculous. He was working at a vise under the shed In front of the foundry, (mark-1 ed D In the diagram,) when one of the heavy j flues of the boiler shot past him and between him and the bench at which hie was engaged, grazing and tearing his clothing and inflicting some ugly bruises upon his chest In the neigh? borhood of the ribs. Quinn lives In Reid street, one door irom King, and was also at? tended by Dr. Davega. THO WRECK. The sight in the yard o? the Iron-works alter the explosion was a curious one. The boiler had disappeared from the spot (A) where it had just stood, and the fragments were scat? tered for hundreds of feet around. The rear wall of the frame machine shop was blown completely out, its twelve-Inch timbers crushed and splintered, and every pane of glass, with but few exceptions, in the machine Bhop, blacksmith shop, foundry and boiler shop was gone. The debris of the machine shop wall were scattered about I he yard, as1 well as huge masses of iron, pipes, castings, belting, ?c. One massive grindstone, three feet in diameter, standing midway between the - foundry and machine; Bhop, had been picked ap by some strange freak of the ex? plosion, shivered to' pieces, and deposited in one corner of the yard. The steam drum which bad surmounted tbe boiler, weigh? ing about a quarter, of. a ton, had been hurled on the roof of the holler shop at the point marked E, and crashing through the walls bad fallen in the yar The ''back head" o( the boiler, a massive circular plate of Iron, bod taken a longer journey, and was pitched clear over the roof of the boiler shop Into the adjoining lot two jundred feet away. The tall smoke stack performed a somersault In the air, but landed very near its old loca? tion. The large man-hole plate found a rest? ing place on the roof of the boiler Bhop, and other pieces varying in s'ze from masses of Iron weighing five hundred pounds to frag? ments the size of a pebble were scattered in every direction. One good sized lump landed in the premises of Messrs. Sawner & Ferguson, on Hasel street, and another was Bald to have struck in Be nue t's Mill pond. The adjoining counties have not yet been heard from. THE PECUNIART L0S3 has not yet been accurately estimated, but I must be somewhere between three and four I thousand dollars. The boiler itself was worth about eight hundred dollars. Of course there was no insurance against this sort of an acci? dent. Fortunately no conflagration was caused by the explosion, and the services of the steam Are engine, which was promptly on the spot, were not found necessary. Messrs. Taylor & Co. announce that the disaster will not effect any suspension of their business operations as the actual damage to the build? ings can be very speedily repaired, and they are supplied with another boiler, which has been used alternately w ii h the one now de? stroyed, and which ls ample for all the pur? poses of their establishment Coroner Taft, being notified of the case yes? terday afternoon, impanelled a jury and visit? ed the scene of the accident, making a care? ful inspection of the locality and the fragments of the boiler. The inquest will be begun at the Courthouse at noon to-day. THE COURTS TES TE li DAT. United States Court, In the District Court, before Judge Bryan, the following orders were granted: The petition of W. A. Mooney to establish a lien against the estate of Lorenzo D. McMakln, bankrupt, was referred to Registrar dawson, with orders to call In all the lien creditors and report In three weeks. The order for the sale of the effects of Thos. M. Muldrow, bankrupt, was modified so as to except the bond of Christopher Milton, which the assignee was ordered to collect ,,.. Charles Bolt, assignee, was ordered to sell at auctioD, at Union Courthouse, for cash, the interest of his bankrupt Wesley Banders, In the "National Hotel" at that place. Wm. B. Daniels, bankrupt, was granted his final discharge. TN ADMIRALTY. A motion, returnable on the 10th of April next, was Issued against the bark Agnes Campbell on a libel for collision at sea with a schooner, and the case was referred to Daniel Horlbeck to take the testimony of either party. The State Coart. In the Court ot Common Plea?, before Judge Graham, the case of Levi P. Wagener vs. Hunt A Brothers was given to the jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $3036 20. 100, with interest from the 3d January, 1868. The case of Robert A. Jones vs. the North? eastern Railroad Company, lor damages for injuries done to the person of the plaintiff, as a passenger, was taken up, and the court was occupied in hearing the testimony up to a late 'hour of the evening. At nine o'clock, the case was given to the jory, with instructions from the court to bring In a sealed verdict if they agreed, to be opened this morning. No cases will be tried this morning, but the Judge will hear motions and grant orders on the equity side of the court The calendar for yesterday will be continued on Monday. THE NEW STEAMSHIP GEORGE W. CLTDE, of the Philadelphia Iron Line, which hw? been tully described In these columns, was thrown open to the Inspection of the public yester? day, and visited during the day by a large number of gentlemen who were full of adm!- j ration for the elegance, convenience and neatness of all her appointments. SAVANNAH STEAMSHIP ENTERPRISE.-It is re? ported that the Central Railroad Company, of Georgia, has purchased a controlling Interest In the steamships Virgo, Leo, San Salvador, Magnolia, General Barnes and Hermann Liv? ingston, plying between Savannah and the Northern ports, which arrangement will give .to the com pan; the important power of regu? lating freights la Its favor. Mr. Wm. 3. Gar? rison, of New York city, represents the .own? ers of the three lines to which the above named steamers belong, and has been In Sa? vannah for some days past, In negotiation with the railroad company with the above re? sult INSTALLATION.-The Rev.

The Rev. W. S. Bowman, being president of the Synod, will have to conduct the installation services, and in consequence there will be no service in the morning at the Wentworth street Lutheran Church, of which he Is pastor. In the after? noon St. John's Church will be closed, and its congr?gation will attend at the Wentworth street Church; where the newly installed pas? tor will preach. -... ^ PALM SUNDAY.-To-morrow is a notable day in the calendar of three religious persuasions, being, the Palm Sunday of the Roman Catho? lics, the sixth and last Sunday of Lent In the Episcopal Church, and the first day of the Feast of Purim of the Israelites. The observ? ance of Palm Sunday In commemoration of the iriumphal entry of the Saviour Into Jeru? salem, when the people "took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet Him, cry? ing Hosanna," ?tc, will, as usual, include the blessing and distribution to the members of the congr?gations in the various Catholic Churches ol branches and twigs of palm, whbh will be retained by ihe recipients dur? ing the service, and appropriate allusions to the lessons of the day, and the approaching commemoration of the death of the Saviour, ijwjli be made ia most of the pulpits. THE DEATH OF MR. ELIAS N. BALL.-We copy the following tribute to a late well -known Charlestonian from the Burlington [ (N. J.) Gazette: I The Mount Holly Mirror says that "amid the gladness which prevailed on the 22d ultimo, there ls one lamily in New Jersey whose house was turned into one of mourn? ing-that of the good Bl-hop Odeoheimer whose son-in-law, Mr. Elias N. Ball, of Charles? ton, South Carolina, died alter a brief illness: his beloved wife, the bishop's daughter, being herself seriously ill n her lather's house at the mme time. In this sore double family afflic? tion Bishop Odenhelmer will .have the uni? versal sympathy of his Cock, as well as the sincere condolements of hosts outside the Episcopacy." Mr. Ball died in Jeanesvllle, Pennsylvania, aftt-r a short attack of pneumonia, in the prime o? Ufe, a daughter being born to him the Eame dey. He was a gentleman of fine education, and was distinguished by a mag? netism of manner which captivated all with whom he came In contact A NEW ORGAN. Exhibition at tb.? Hasel Street Syna? gogue. An appreciative audience was yesterday af? ternoon attracted to the Hasel street Syna? gogue to attend the public exhibition of the new organ lately built for this congregation to take the place of the Instrument w hi cb, having been removed to Columbia for supposed safety during the war, shared the destruction ol that city in 1865 by Sherman's army. Since that event the members of this congregation have been endeavoring to obtain another organ, and one ol the methods adopted to raise funds was tbe elegant amateur performance about one year ago, at the Academy of Music, which attracted one of the largest and most fashion? able audiences tbat that building has ever held, and which netted the handsome sum of $1100. The Jewish citizens of Charleston have always contributed liberally to all objects of charity, and this was the first time they had ever appealed to the public lor assistance, which makes their notable success on this occasion the more deserved and grati? fying. By this and other means the requisite funds were obtained, and an organ has now been placed in the Synagogue, which reflects much credit on Its builder, Mr. James M. Mandeville, of New Tork. It is a two bank in? strument, containing twenty-six stops, and all the modern improvements. The case is of polished black walnut, to harmonize with the other Interior arrangements of the Syoagogne, and the Iront pipes are richly decorated In blue and gold. These decorations were added here by Stiles, and are, of course, In the high? est styles of art. The organ was thoroughly tested yesterday, and Its beauties and capacity exhibited by Professor T. P. O'Neale and other prominent musicians ol the city, who, as well as the audience, unanimously expressed them? selves as highly pleased with its beautiful tone, compass and power. FOREIGN- EXPORTS_Messrs E. More & Co. cleared yesterday the British ship Jnlia for Liverpool with one hundred and fifty-five bags'sea Island cotton, two thousand seven hundred and ten balee upland cotton and two hundred tons phosphate rock, GLOBS AND STARS.-A refractory hack man. who would not leave the South Carolina Ball road depot when ordered by the watchman, was fined two dollars. One case of drunk and disorderly In King street, near Burns lane, Was fined two dollars. A white goat found astray in Queen street cost the owner one dollar to' regain posses? sion or lt._ THC WEATHER YESTERDAY was damp, dis? mal, drizzling, disagreeable, disgusting. Just before noon the clouds, which had been gath eilng all the morning, began spitting little showers, which degenerated toward night Into a persistent drizzle, which made life a burden and locomotion a thing to bo avoided. This continued until evening, when lt again changed Into a downright drenching rain, wblch lasted far Into the nigbt. IRISH RIFLE CLUS.-Ata meeting last eve? ning of this flourishing young organization the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: Jas. Armstrong, Jr., presi? dent; Jas. J.

Another kleptomanie raid was made upon a 'residence-?a ?ie western part of the city on Thursday eveniag, the sneaks possessing themselves of the movables ur one ot the bed? rooms while the family were quietly B?>*?*cl at supper. The body of a new-born colored infant, which had been strangled and thrown into the water at the foot of Council street, by Its unnatural father, was discovered yesterday morning, and the parents. Josiah Williams and Rinah Washington, were arrested on the charge of infanticide. The woman was sent to the City Hospital and Williams was lodged la Jail to await the result of the Inquest. ARRIVAL OFKO-KLOX PR SONERS .-Yester? day morning thirty-three prisoners of the United States arrived on the South Carolina Railroad in charge of H. C.
