THE BOILER 1XTE8TIGATIOS. Tile Inqneat Coattnned-Summary ot* ino .New Evidence, &c. . The inquest apon the body of Frederic Bar ton, the young man who was killed by the ex? plosion of the boiler at the Phoenix Iron Works, last Friday, was continued yesterday morning at the coroner's office. The Jury met, pursuant to adjournment, at eleven o'clock, and, after examining five witnesses, adjourned over until eleven o'clock this morning. The 1 olio win g is a summary of the evidence given by each witness : W. H. Prioieau, one of the partners In the firm of J. F. Taylor & Co., tee ti fled he was not present at the explosion, and had no experi? ence In boiler ma tiing, engineering, &c; ex? amined the scene alter the accident, and saw a great deal of water -splashed against tba build? ings inside; attends to the finances of the firm. Thos. Morrle,-rdachiaist ?nglde?r and em? ployee at the works, said he was in the ma? chine shop at a vise on the lower floor o? the building when the explosion occurred. Heard the noise, and being s'.raid tbe place might take fire went for an engine. Examined the lower end of the sbop where the boiler stood and the ground outside. Found the ground wet and the building Inside wet also, ls satis? fied tbat this water came from the boiler. Can form no opinion of the water on the ground as lt was raining that morning. Had been working on the boiler two days before the explosion making steam and water con? nections. On Thursday examined the force and lift pumps and lound them all right. Can assign no; cause for the explosion. There were two boilers used on the premises, con? nected by a steam pipe, but elmer could be shat off. Both were In use on tbe morn? ing of the explosion. The one In the boner shop was running the engine until the other bad been, repaired and could gel tip steam. It was then shut off from the engine" and the boiler that exploded.- The boiler In the boiler shop was much longer but not as largo th diameter as the exploded one. There was a safety valve to the latter, which was taken off on the Thursday before the ex? plosion, and the weight was tben put back on the lever at seventy-five pounds, under the di? rections of the foreman. If the safety valve worked properly when there was seventy-five pounds of steam pressure the weight would rise up and the steam wonld blow off until there was les3 than seventy-five- pounds pres sure. Wa? at work se ven ty-fl ve feet from the boiler. Did not hear the boiler blow off steam before the explosion took place, and did not think he would have beard lt had it done so. Saw the steam gange a few minutes before the explosion, and noticed lt was not more than fifty-three pound s pressure. Does not think lt possible for the boiler to have generated more than fifteen or twenty pounds of steam from the time he Baw the gauge to the time of the explosion. Would not risk one hundred poonda ol steam running the boiler himself. It was impossible for a boiler of that capacity to generate forty or nf .v pounds of steam in three minutes. There was a well lo the yard and one ln'Pritcbard street and a cistern on the premises from which the boilers were sup lied. The well water Is not as pure as cistern water, By mixing well and cistern water In a bollerlt will cause the water to foam. Thinks , an experienced marr could not mistake sucb foaming fox solid water in trying a gauge cock. Considers lt perfectly safe to continue using the boiler if such water foams. T. W. Tobin, a machinist employed at the works, testified he was working on the ground floor of the machine shop at toe time of the explosion. Went to help those who were hurt-John T. Lyons, John Early, IL Blanche, William McLelsb, John Bose, John Robinson. J. Quinn. Did not hear the boiler blow off steam. Passed where the boiler had stood a minute' or two after the explosion. Did not notice any water on the ground or building. J. A. Mosely, an engineer, testified tbat he went to tbe Phoenix Works about three quarters ol an hour, after the explosion, and examined tbe place where tbe boiler stood. Saw nothing of boiler; but saw a great deal of water on the ground around as it lt bad come from the boiler. John F. Taylor, the senior partner of the firm, having been recallad, testified that there was a safety-valve to tr~e boiler made -at tbe works. There was a mark on the lever at sixty and one at seventy, which was the limit. When more- than seventy pounds of pressure was on the boiler, lt would blow off if the valve worked properly. Is ot the opinion that; If lhere wa? ?a pressuTeof 'fifty pounds of . steam on the boiler that exploded, and the ; boiler vv?s hmnlogithe engine, that lt was im- ? possible to raise the steam to one hundred i pounds. Can advance no argument or assign no cause for thinking that the boiler mlgat possibly bave exploded from a sudden genera? tion of steam. This completed the labors of the jury for the day, and an adjournment was taken until this morning. Ibe injuries inflicted opon Hr. John Robin? son, as reported on, Saturday, have rendered necessary the amputation of bis right leg Just above th e|BB^janj?;tnl?^ operation was per? formed JaSPiSB^rrta^ J. D.

In the afternoon lt rained and stormed in a manner that dismayed all bnt tbe most sanguine, but late in the evening the clouds rolled away and allowed ibe ven? turesome a chance of Joining In the revelry at the hall. At ten o'clock the hall was crowd" ed with a bewildering assemblage, whose cos? tumes of every style, from the richest silks and laces, sparkling wita Jewels, down to the pictorial bootblack, were enough to drive a newspaper man crazy at the mere idea ol describing them. Muller's veteran band supplied the gay com? pany with delightful dance music; and in the interval between the dances a harmonious crash from overhead, developing into some operatic gem or beautiful melody, announced the presence of Prof. C. F. Beer wi rt h and the splendid Post band. The arrangements for the comfort of the guests were complete, and the courteous endeavors of the committee, in this direction, were recognized and appreci? ated by all the visitors. . ? .

The wind during most of the time was from the east and north by east, but at about two o'clock yesterday afternoon it got around to the south, and gave some promise of clear- j lng up.

A. F. M., held on Thursday I evening, March 21st, 1872. fie Worshipful Master announced the death of B.other F. J. Porcher, ia i he following terms: It ls with no mere fem of words that I an* nonnce to you, my brethren, that since our last regular communication anotaer vacancy has occurred lu the Kilwinning Lodge, but my heart feels to its very depths the void that has thus been I created. Desfeh loves, 'tis said, a shining mark, and in striking down with his merciless darts our brother, Francis J. Poroher, be has taken from ns one whose name ateod high on the roll of those we loved and honored. There need do words of enlogy or praise from me to enhance his J manly qualities In your memories. You all knew him, Just what he was-JuBt what the unan im aus verdict bf the entire community I pronounce him-au upright, high-toned, honora- I bte and generous gentleman, fit type of that old Caro.ina race so fast pissing away. Soddenly was he taken from us, without a word or pote of warning, and even the fast-beat lng heart of Commerce stilled its rapid pulsations, I and men gathered silently and Badly in the streets and on the wharves as the startling an- I nouncement came upon them like a thunderbolt out or a cloudless sky, that "Frank Porcher" was dead. In the prime of life, fuji of busy schemts for the welfare of those dear to him, and especially for the advancement in prosperity of this his native city, bis son fast passing his meridian, and prom ?sing a long and peaceful evening, as it slowly de- j scended Into the far distant west, has been sud- I deni y eclipsed,"and au stand aghast at the un looked for catastrophe. ' j Without warning, his bowl has been broken at the cistern, J a=t when his family,-bis friends andi the community were prepared to make the larger draughts upon it. And the strong staff and j beautiful rod upon which we all leaned has been snapped asunder, and we are like men groping I In the dark for oar accustomed support. As a Mason, Brother Francis J. Porcher illus? trated the beauty of those tenets that we pro? fess, carried out by an honest heart, into every I action of life; aa das his word was ever guarded as the apple of his eye, and the touchstone of his j honor, so la the new obligations he here re? ceived to keep that word even more sacred, he j found nothlog new or difficult, bot as in the past, so even as a Mason, was he true and stead fast in all his dealings with his fellow men. We moora to-night a trae and zealous Mason, and a brother to whom the Interests or this Lodge were especially dear. It was my sad privilege, lu company with my j Brother Wardens, to visit his residence en the j morn.ng after his decease, to tender to his family the U:ual8olemu Masonic ceremonies. The almost unanimous attendance of onr Lodge at the last funeral services ol our brother proved that, In common with the eutlre community, we mourned sincerely for him who had been so loved and honored. And one could wish no better epitaph, no higher meed ef praise than such a spontaneous outpouring of esteem and regard as was evinced in the hush that brooded over the marts of trade, in the closed doors and quiet streets of the com? merce, and lu the numerous throng that, with honest grief, gathered around his untimely grave. But words poorly express the feelings when the heart ls full to overflowing, and I can only lay tills simple wreath of affection and esteem upon the grave or one whom 1 loved and admired BB a man and a Mason, aad trust some brother will in? troduce la fitter terms that tribute of respect that wu; be recorded upon onr minute-, and be at least j a slight evidence of our love and affection for our departed brother. The following preamble and resolutions were then Introduced and aoaalmoosly adopted: WorshWul str-l ask for tbe consideration ! and adoption of the following preamble and remo? tions: In all ages, and at all periods, and under all forms of government, lt has been the privilege and the province SI the uvlng tc- lay their ofler ia ps opon the gravea ot, the .departed. Purity of character, fidelity ot service, benefits to onr race, in peace or in war, have been so rewarded. lt ls an Instinct which. catare has provided for her children; which the rude superstition of the savage observes, aa sacred; wnloh the highest order of refinement exacta at sovereign couria; which the most elaborate system of education have sanctioned and co nfl rm ed, and which the church admits as pai t and parcel of her holy or din ance. And, ? lr, if auch be the caa; in com? munities, both temporal and spiritual, how can lt be otherwise with usMlofced together aa weare In deeds of charity and for purposes of mercy ? Well, air, may tbe Lodge of Union Kilwinning assume the garb of mournlner aud sorrow for the loss we have sustained, and well may .Masonry deplore this bereavement. Frank Porcher waa onr friend, onr brother, and our examt le In private and social life. This was eminently so. In his active business occupa' lons he was marked by those qualities which remain Indelible: for he was the trna -representative of manhood. HU principles of lntearlty never com? promised; his mind seized npon its object and he labored for Its attainment; be never yielded to dim cu I tte?, but always to truth, for tm tn to him was anoiber name for God; bis word waa equal to blabODd, and bia bond, it life huted, was better than bis estate. In all bis dealings probity was his guiding star; no commercial interests ever seduced him, and no prospect of profit ever led him astray. If lt be that an honest man is the nobles: work of God, Porcber's place In the calen? dar wm be high among the highest. Benevolence held her conrt in his heart, and eloquence waa no ?tranger to his Ups when his appeals were made for the poor and needy. His arm would have been lifted against oppression, but bia hand waa never raised agatnat toe weak and heavy ladeo. Onr brother was an original man, with an individual organization of his own. Be favored other men, but it cannot be said he receive I patronage from any, for a kindness done him was eure to be returned, and ir not to the very person who con 'erred it, to aome other of the human family; and this,air, we are told, ls a cardinal p-Int In ihe teachings of our ancient brotherhood, whose lessons pervade every quarter of tbe globe, and wnose antiquity measures with time itself. Therefore, Resolved, That our afflicted and Impoverished and down-trodden State has cause for weeping over the loss of a brave and generous and devoted Bon, who, In the community where he lived and died, had earned a reputation for the t oblest sen? timents which Invariably adorn the most elevated character. Resolved, That in our Kilwinning Lodge there ls this day a vacuum which we cannot nope to see readily or easily filled; and that the most val? uable institutions in oar country have reason to sympathize with us In lamenting this calamity. Resolved, That a page in our "Minutes" be dedicated to the memory of Francis J. Porcher; that a record of bia death be preserved as a mournful event in our history;, that tte se pro? ceedings be recorded on that page as an evidence of his worth, and as an expression of oar affec? tionate remembrance of his virtuous and honor? able Lie. Resolve}, That a copy of this preamble and r?solutions be forwarded by the secretary of this Lodge to the family of our deceased brother, and that they be published in the morning papers of our city. . Extract from the Minutes. THE HIGH SCHOOL OE CHARLESTON. Resolutions on th? Death of Colonel James H. Taylor, Unanimously Adopt? ed by the Board ct Supervisor? of the High School of the City of Charle*t on. It has pleased God to remove our friend and colleague, Colonel James H. Taylor, from tbe scene ot his earthly labors. When we last met he was among cs sharing In our deliberations, aiding us by bis suggestions, leading na by his example, and reassuring us by bis zeal, his activity and his energy. It was very evident that he bad entered upon the work before ns with bia wbole heart, and was striving' to make tbe High School of Charles'on an orna? ment to the city and a blessing to Ps people. To? day his voice la silent and his seat 1Bvacant. And we feel that we owe lt to ourselves and to bim to place npon record our profound sense of the heavy loss which we and all who value educa tlon have sustained by bia death. - , Onr community bas recently been heavily afflicted by the death or some of our most emi? nent and most useful citizens-men of untiring energy, nnselflih spirit, vigorous Intellect and irreproachable character-men whose counsels were sorely needed in this oar day of trial, and whose example, we felt, would be worthy of .our emu'atlon. Among these, and such as these, Col. Taylor stood boldly ont, irresistibly attracting our regard and commanding our confldence. He was himself a man of great natural ability, of extensive culture and varied acquirements, and he realized the power and benefits of knowl? edge. He was so constitute I that the public welfare profoundly Interested bis thoughts and enlisted his energies, and no one understood more fully the Importance of education In securing the hap? piness and advancing .the Interests of the Com? monwealth. He was a Christian, and ho knew well how mnch education could add to the Intelligence of our faith, and our resources for Its.defence. During the abo rt time that be bad been associ? ated with us, bia dignity, frankness and gentle' ness had made bim not only our valued colleague, bnt also our cherished friend. And lt ls not only as officers of this institution, bat as men grieving for oar personal IQBS, that we desire to record the following resolutions: Resolved, That in the death of Colonel James H. Taylor the High Sohool of Charleston, and the cause or education, haa lost a most earnest friend, whose ability and energy waa a sure re? liance, and whose place among us lt will be diffi? cult to AU; and onr board bas lost a member who had endeared hlnaelf to aa all by his generous sympathies, and had commanded oar affection ate respect by his vigorous Intellect and bia blame? less lire. , Resolved, Th it the above preamble and resolu? tion be copied on the Minutes, and be pnbllahed m ins CHARLESTON NEWS and Courier. Resolved, That a copy be also sent to the family of the deceased in token of onr sincere sympathy. Special JXotites. pw BATCHELORS HAIR DYE.-THIS superb Hair Dye is the best in the world.
