that supply tho ventilators and forced draught It was the business of this watch to make the last preliminary arrangements In the engine rooms before going to sea At the close or very voyage It Is sure to bo found that a few little repairs are necessary particularly If the trip has been such a rough one a was the St Pauls last voyage from Southampton Most of these repairs bAd been completed ana a small force machinists were rapidly finishing off the rest of them The wipers and helpers who clean up In the englno rooms after the machinists live on shore and most of them had not coma on board There were only about half a dozen of them In the engine rooms when the break came Usually there are several times that number tmes boilers of tho St Paul are arranged in two five boiler batteries They aro placed forward of Ibo engine rooms and separated from them by a watertight bulkhead The main steam pipe leads through this bulkhead to the Th4 i stop valve This steam main Is 17 Inches rti diameter on the inside I Is of cat steel Ifi inches thick Second Assistant Engineer Milne In charge In the boiler rooms had coupled np all of tbe ten boilers and everything was ready al blen enrtblnl wa reay to turn the steam Into the engIne rooms The boilers wero carrying IHO pounds pressure at the time but are capable carrying 200 pounds tme pund and do carry that much when at ea The main steam pipe makes a sharp turn upward Juet after passing through the bulkhead and passing through tbe Iron grating which serves as the first level floor of the engine room enter the main stop valve The steam loaves the main stop valve by another great main which takes It to tbo hlgnpressora cylinders There are two elbows In this second I main On Tuesday the engineers eased off the I main stop valve which

without the slightest warning tbo men In the engine room the steam main broke at a point about an Inch from the flange whero It parsed through the bulk head and In two other places There place flero was a report Ilka a cannon shot and Instantly the room was filled with raiding attain The skylights on the engine hatch which had been partly eniino ha ben part raised for ventilation went up far as the I hinges would let them go andcame down wit wih a bane shattering the heavy glass into small ploe which fell down through Into the online Tie noise of the report and the rush of the steam brought the engineer of tho standby watch and of tho on watch running to the en gina room a fast as they could gt Tho engine room was so fall of steam that could WI fnl tat ne one culd see what had occurred First Assistant EngIneer Wall sent men to the boiler room on thu Jump to uncouple the bier I took about live minutes shut off the valve on tho ten big avel bil boilers and then the men ran book Ibo engine room In five minutes more the steam had passed out through the skylights or had con densed and the men were able to get down Into the engine room see what had happened Capt Jamison was not on the snip at the time and Chief Officer William Koberts wa In charge Mr Roberta heard the explosion and ran to the engine room As soon as ne saw what had happened he sent word for Cant sen CIDt Jamison and Immediately took measures to take car of the men who had been hurt A policeman was sent for who tamed In a hurry ambulance call to the Hudson Street Hospital for a their In the mean tlmethn engineers had got down Into theenglneroom They found Third Assistant Engineer Vesper first Ho was lying beside the bilge mimps down In the bottom of the hlp eighteen feet below the level where the break occurred Tlen a the steam wont out of the engine room the engineers climbed up and found tbo other men at the level Where they had been at work Edward Wlihart the electrician was found In his room jusiaft of the bulkhead Down a the end at the engine room opposite the bulkhead they found Storekeeper Heard In the storeroom Then they found Manning He was lying beside the main stop valve between that nnd tho lowpressure cylinder Ho was dead and from the position in which his body lay the men Judged that he had not lived a minute after the explosion un top of tho lowpressure cylinder they found Williams and McCallon The space between the lowpressure and high presiure cylinder Is only twenty four Inches The men were lying fat on their faces with their hands spread out In front of them just A they had been at work Tho steam main from the main stop valve the high pressure cylinder bad also broken just before It entered the cylinder and the rush of steam had probably killed McCallon and Williams ba instantly After that they found Campbell lying beside bis tool chest Last of all they found Second Assistant Engineer Fawns He was lying between the main stop valve and the bulkhead and toe appearance of the body Indicated that death bad come OH suddenly him as It had to Manning and the others hA The Injured men were carried as quickly a possible to the office of Dr Schaadt the ships surgeon Dr Schaadt was doing all he could for them when the ambulances arrived from the arrle Hudson Street Hospital Tho wounded men were bandaged up temporarily and taken to tho hospital quickly a possible Then the bodies of the dead men were taken out of the engine room and the engineers began a careful exam Inatlonof the damage It was found that another break In the steam main had occurred just under the main stop valve and that elbow had fallen to the grating below No other damage was dono except tbe smashing of the skylight The steam main was put in by the Cramps when the ship was built I had been thoroughly tested and had undergone the strain of four voyages and there was nothing to Indicate any weakness In It The supervising engineer of the line Mr Clark was In Philadelphia He came over In the course of the morning and a soon as he had examined the break telegraphed the to telelapbed Cramps the information necessary for them to have In repair Inn the break I I believed that It will require at least a week get a new steam main In As soon as the policeman who was first noti fled sent In his ambulance call hn ran to not Church street station and hustled tho Churh stret Ntatol huste out reserves Twentyfive men were sent down to the dock In charge of a Sergeant to keep the crowds away but the accident happened so early In the morning that they had not much work to do I The Coroners ofllco was notified I at once and Coroner FitzpatrIck went down to the ship and made his preliminary investigation mae Ivst ratIon He gave permits for the removal of the bodies from the ship and permits wore afterward obtained for the removal of some of the bodies from the county About half past oclock people who had booked passage on the St Panl began to arrive on the pier Notices had been printed at the ships printing ofnco and were posted up al about tbe pier and gangplanks and In tho comcanlonvrays of the ship notifying uotfylnl passengers that the ship would not sail at the hour oct and that the company would notify them at whatever addresses they gave when the ship would sail Officers of the company told those passengers who mae Inquiries that the company would responsible for the hotel bills of firstcabin passengers during the delay Second cabin passengers and steerage passengers were notified that they could sail on the Kensington of tho Red Star lne which was due to leave from the other side of the pier at 12 oclock There was not a large passenger list on the Kensington I and a good many of the saloon passengers booked for the St

Scotland of the men who were killed or Injured whose homes wore In those countries Machinist Campbell Is a son of Capt Campbell of the American line who Is in command of the Chester Tbe Southampton office of the line was notified Inform Capt Campbell ot the death of his son It was Impossible determine yesterday exactly what was the cause of the accident Ono of the engineers raid that it might have been either flaw In the Iron of the pipe or the sud den opening of one valvo before the other was opened The engineers who were opening the main stop valve meant go from the starboard I valve to the port valve a soon a they had hA turned the steam Into tho starboard engines so I that tho whole of the steam from tho ten boilers I was turned Into the starboard engine room at once onceIf the accident bad happened at sea said young Mr Orlscom It would have delayed the steamship and probably would havo caused a much greater loss of life but It would not have endangered the safety of tho St Paul nor would It have prevent her continuing her voyage The starboard engines would ot course have been out of service but would have been possible to complete the voyage with the port engines alone

who wore appointed on Oct 0 as a special committee to look Into tho matter of location for tho bridge and also to determine whether any of the rights of tho East River Bridge Company had better be bought The rights of this company had previously been ascertained to bo valid and of value According to the report of thin committee three sites were open to consideration Ono was that of the East River Bridge Company from between Fifth and Sixth streets In Wllllumsburgh to a point betwien Delancey anti Hlvlngton streets tho second fioin between Fourth and Ilfth streets In Wllllauinburgh parallel to the first and 185 feet to tho south of It and the third from Fifth and Sixth streets in Williams burgh tho foot of to Dciancoy street The commltteo found that while the site tho north of the East River Bridge Companys route could be bridged for about 71700 less than that companys route and the other for about 3171000 loss that either of these routes would so Interfere with tho works of the American Sugar Refining Company which owns all of the land In that part of Wllllamsburgh that tho damages caused would In their udgment mako a bridge on either of theso routes cost at least 1000000 moro than one over the East lilvcr Krldgo Companys route Besides this thero nan danger that tho sugar refinery might be driven nosy from the neighborhood altogether Flit commltteo nlso decided that the East River Brldgo Company had rights which were needed and that would havo to bo acquired and that It was better to get those by purchase without delay than to take them by condemnation

should go to the college mentioned In the ninth section of his will and not to the Institutions named In the deed of sift of the threw residuary legatee or trustees has been affirmed by the General Term of Iho Supreme Court Justices Follctt and Parker unite In one opinion situ Presiding Justice Van Brunt handu down another both favoring affirmance Tint ronto in law taken by Justice Truax Is quite apart from that taken by the General Term both reaching the same goal Justice Truax hold that Messrs Thomas 1 Bitch Justus Bulklcy and Henry Vaughan who havo In different views been called residuary legatees and trustees were In fact trustees but not of a testamentary trust created by the will but created by papers outside of the will and codicils In view of this position he held that the heirs of Faycrweather could not by vIrtue of the statute of 1HUO I against testator having a wife devising morn than half of his estate to charitable Institutions In trust or otherwise contend that the trust was only good as to half of thu estate anti tile other half must go to them His decision was therefore that by the will and codicils alonothese three men were legatees absolutely of the residue so that the heirs could not Invoke the statute which only applied to testamentary gifts to charities It this statute were enforced against the residue as a gift or trust for charities tho heir would have come In for about all of the resldne because by special bequests be had disposed of about half his estate of 0000000 to charitable in stitutiohts The opinion ot Justices Follett and Parker does not state directly whether tho trust Is I a testamentary one or not That Is the legal dim culty with which all the Judges have hind to fence If the trust su ere a testamentary one then the statute of 1BUO could be Invoked by the heirs unless the releases which tho heirs gave when the deed of gift was made were held valid against their protest that they were invalid because ot fraud and undue influence This decision holds that these releases are valid and that the heirs cannot urge the Ian of 1HIIO The opinion says that the claim that the releases of the heirs were procured by fraud and undue Influence Is unsupported by the evidence and that they signed tho releases with the advice of eminent counsel As they hove divested themselves of Interest In the estate by the releases and the residuary legatees or trustees have no personal Interest In the estate the decision states there Is no one who can urge the law of IbUO as it must bo advanced by someone Interested In the estate The petition of these judges Is virtually that the heir could sot up this law but for the releases while us tlco Truax contended that they could not rely on this statute regardless of the releases The opinion of Justice Van Brunt groups tint will codicils letters and memoranda and say that only the widow and not the other heirs could urge the law of 1800 and that In any event their releases hold good against them all The litigation which has brought about this change of the disposition of the residue was started by the heirs of Fayerweathor rcpro tented by William Blalklu and soon after tint cudgels were taken up by Amherst Dartmouth Hamilton and Williams colleges and the University of Rochester They were the the only colleges of those mentioned In the ninth paragraph of the will who fought but the others will came In for their full benefit Tho following table shows how the estate of Fayerwoather will go If these decisions hold good SftHfc Shaie CoQlQ lleqHtrt QfRtfttlue ThUs Tdan
