THE BARTON INQUEST CONCLUDED. The Evidence Given Yesterday-Expe? rienced .flacht is I il? Testify-The Exon? eration of all' Pa rt les nt th? Works Verdict of the Jury. &c. The Jury empanelled in the case of Fred? erics Barton to Investigate the canses which led to his death at the Phoenix Iron Works, on Friday morning last, assembled yesterday, pursuant to adjournment, at the office of the coroner, In the Courthouse. The following 1B a summary of the facts testified to by the several witnesses: Jane Barton testified that the deceased was her son and bad been employed for eight months at the works learning thetrade of a i finisher. Deceased told deponent on several I occasions that he was not kept at his trade, ? but went on errands and was made to act as m fireman. Deceased complained twice about ? ^ the blue steam coming from the boiler, and Bald that it was dangerous. Deceased told de ^f^fk ponent that several of the men refused to work around the holler, because they said lt was dangerous. Jcseph Alphonse told deponent Y on last- Saturday that he was one o? the ap f prentices at the Phoenix Iron Works, and that ne had stayed at home for a week, because be BK heard the men around the shop say that the ^boiler would explode. Deceased did not say V that he had reported blue steam coming from Wm the boiier to any one of the employers of the ????ff works. WM Wm. McLelsh, machinist at tho works, tes Wf tided that be was Injured by the explosion, I r -but aid not bear lt, ai he thinks be was instan? taneously struck. Was working on the lower i floor of the machine shop, on the east side of j [ tbe building, near the centre. Never bas seen ' deceased at work around the boiler at any. time. The apprentices ' ran the engine In tab j msfeblne shop and fire up nnder the. boiler, toking their tarn? at it Deponent has been employed In the machine .shop of the works about five years; did not, at any time-on that morning, hear the boiler that exploded blow off ?team; thinks he would have beard lt If lt | bad blown off: never -has heard any ol the em? ployees say that they bad refused to work around that boiler because lt was dangerous; believed the boiler to be perfectly safe; served hlallme at the Ph oe nix Iron Works as an apprentice, learning the trade of machinist; S-hpn an apprentice was compelled to fire un - der tbe boiler. George Bennett, laborer at the works, testi? fied that be was sent by M. Belly, foreman of | machine shop, to fire nnder the boiler tbat exploded, a little after seven o'clock on tbat morning. Deponent went to work "cleaning , out and built the fire. Worked at the boiler . .Bhoutan hour. Had other work to do, and went about lt. Knows nothing about the ex- j plosion. Never told Mr. Kelly that the boiler was dangerous. Knows nothing about a boil? er. Never told any person that be bad told Mr. Kelly so.. Never was told by Mr. Kelly to do anything around ihe boiler that he (depo- ? mut) refused or failed to do. Not long before j tbe explosion, eaw deceased put a plank against the boiler. Did not Bee the deceased get upon the boiler. Mr. Kelly told deponent to burn the shavings. Pine wood was used nnder the boiler. E. E. Hughes, United States steamboat In? spector, testified that he had seen the boiler at the Phoenix Iron Work". It was a properly constructed boiler, and deponent believes of good iron. Saw It about a week before the explosion, and made a ? casual exam I nat lo rr-of j lt. Did not.examine any of the combination?, water-or-?team. Has examined' the -boiler since the explosion. Has made a careful ex? amination ot tbe. fragments of the exploded holler. Found the Iron good, of sufficient ' thickness,' and thinks lt ought to have been safe at a hundred pounds. Did not examine the connections, or inquire about them. Ex? amined the safety valve and found lt In good order. Made the examination a short time after the explosion. Behaves tbe explo? sion to have been caused by an exc?s Bl ve pressure of steam. Ihlnki there must bave been far over a hundred pounds pressure. Could not see any appearance of any corrosion on the safety valve or of being over weighted. Ii the safety valve bad been la proper working order ana placed at seven S-flve pounds, when there was that pressure e valve would have raised up and let the surplus steam escape, unless the over pressure was caused by some sudden and unknown cause. The only cases of such a nature tbat deponent bas traced bave been from letting the water in trie boiler get too lo w. By open- I lng the valve to btai t 'the engine, if the water { ls too low, the water will raise suddenly on the Iron that bas been heated and cause an ex? plosion. Did not form any distinct opinion as to tbe direct cause of the explosion. Does not believe the explosion would bave occurred if tbe safety valve was in proper order, water properly attended and the boiler in charge of a com pe tent person. Never have seen blue steam come from a boiler.- Would consider a boiler In that condition dangerous. When blue steam comes from a boiler lt ls evidence that there Is not enough water In the boiler. Con? siders a boy of Alteen. years competent to fire under a boiler. Does not believe that a man acting as foreman of the machine shop of the Phoenix Iron Works can pay the necessary at , Mention to the boiler and engine. Would not ' -consider lt safe to leave a boy of fifteen years to fire under a boiler like that exploded, and a person engaged as foreman of. the machine shop the only person to look out for the en f;lne and the steam; the time of the foreman B taken away so much that be cannot pay the proper attention; the boy would be too young and Inexperienced; il the foreman would make periodical visits of thirty minutes, lt | wdald be sufficient; would be inclined to think that there was a sufficiency o' water, and that the safety valve bad been over-load? ed or Jammed in its seat. Julia Bennett testified tbat ehe conversed with Mrs. Jane Barton In reference to the ex? plosion, ol the-boiler, on Saturday last; Depo? nent does not remember telling Mrs. Barton that ber husband had refused to work tbe boiler because lt was dangerous. A. Cameron, machinist, testified that he saw the exploded boiler of the Phoenix Iron Works a month or BIX weeks before the explosion. Made a casual examination of ir. Thought lt a properly made boiler. Saw nothing wrong about it. Did not examine the connections. A short time after the explosion, examined the i pleceB of the exploded boiler. The Iron was of apparently good material. Did not see anything that would indicate the cause of the explosion. - Did not examine the safety valve or the steam gauge. Believes that the boiler ought to be safe at one hundred pounds of steam. The J only opinion that deponent has formed In re-- [ gard to the explosion ls that it resulted from a scarcity of water or an over pressure of steam. If the satety Valve was set at seventy five pounds, in proper working order and plenty of water In the boiler, deponent thinks the boiler could not bave exploded. Appar? ently there was plenty of water in the boiler at the time of the explosion. Sees no reason wby the foreman of the machine shop cannot j pay proper attention to the boiler and engine. Does not believe the boiler could have gener? ated, fifty pounds of steam la three "minutes, unless the water got low, and from some cause washed up on the heated Iron, when it would probably do BO. When deponent was carrying on business of the same kind, it was customary for apprentices to fire up, under the supervision ot the foreman. A. D. McLeleb, apprentice at the works, testified that he was firing up the day before the explosion on the boiler that exploded. Hos been frequently set at work firing up. Was never set at work with deceased firing up. It was the custom of the foreman to come frequently and see if everything was right about the engine and boiler. There was no lime while deponent was firing that the fore? man left him to take charge ol the boiler aad engine alone. John H. Early, an apprentice, was left at one time in charge about two or ihree hours. Do?s not know If deceased was ever so left. Heard the boiler blowing off steam about a quarter of au hour before the explosion. Looked at lt at that time and saw ir. Is positivest was the exploded on& Have seen seventy-five pounds of-steam on the boiler. Cannot tell the exact lime he saw the boiler blowing off. Dennis Murray, boilermaker at the works, testified that he knew nothing of the explo? sion. Was in the boiler shop at the time. Never callad Mr. Belly's attention to anything being wrong about the boiler that exploded. Never saw anything wrong about the boiler or any bide steam coming from lt. Never called Mr. Kelly to have any talk with him that morning, and never told any one that he did so or that he had any talk with him whatever. The jury here took a recess, but renewed their investigations at four o'clock in the afternoon, as follows: B. I. S. Ellsworth, apprentice at the works learning the trade of a machinist, testified that be had often been set at work firing under the boiler. Sometimes two of the apprentices and at other times one would be so employed. Mr. Kelly always visited them while firing. Never was lett alone to look after the boiter. Never was left any length of time alone, and 8%ver more than a quarter of an hour. Knows of no complaint among the apprentices about firing up under the boiler. Never beard that the boiler was unsafe. Knows ol none of the apprentices st ay lng at home because they were afraid to fire up under the boiler. Never did so himself. Mr. Kelly always kept a close watch on the apprentices while firing under the Dollars. Was not at the shop on the morn Ingot the explosion. E. M. Troth, recalled, testified that be saw the steam escaping from the safety-valve of the boiler that exploded a few minutes before the explosion took place, and ls satisfied tbe safety-valve was in proper working order. The boiler was supplied with water botter than that In the boiler. Never used cold water for feeding. Michael Kelly, recalled, testified that the boiler and engine were under his sole charge. Had carried as high as seventy-five pounds of steam on that boiler. The safety valve was usually set at seventy-five pounds,' but on the morning of the explosion it was set at sixty pounds. It was so set by deponent, because no more than sixty ponnds of steam were needed. Thinks lt was half-past nine o'clock when he set the safely valve. Tried the valve, as there had been some trouble about its working, and found lt in perfect order and working free. Last saw the deceased, a few minutes before the explosion, standing near the end of the boiler. The pump was work? ing continually while the engine was working ana fed with water through a beater on the pump and ano:her on the front of the boiler. No cold water cot to the boiler. Well water was being pumped into the boiler at the time of the explosion. After the boiler bad been fixed that morning the weight of the safety valve had been moved, by some means, back to about twenty pound?, and the boiler blew off the steam. When deponent tried tbe water lu the boiler, a few minutes before the explosion, the steam was escaping from the safety valve. The latter had been fixed on Monday and again on Wednesday or Thursday of the same'week. The steam gauge always worked well. Coroner Taft now asked if the Jury desired any further testimony upon any point, or knew of any testimony that would throw light upon the case. The jury expressed them? selves satisfied with the testimony adduced, and having retired for a few minutes, returned ' a verdict that "the deceased, Frederick Bar? ton, came to his death on the 22d cf March A. D. 1872, at the Phoenix Iron Works, Pritch? ard street, by the explosion of a boiler at said works, from some cause or canse to the Ju? rors unknown, and the jury exonerate all par ties corrected with said works from any ne? glect whatever._ YESTERDAY IN COURT.

I at < nee con? cluded io give this remt-dy a fair trial. I discon? tinued all other constitutional treatment, and gave three pills three times a day. manufactured by W. R.
