The sum of J3500. was also disposed of in?the same way, by the casting vote of the Mayor1 , jllis .illonor'a position on this question . appeared to us to be somewhat, anomas . lous. - What looks strange about his action, as detailed above, is, the fact that, - on. consultation with some of the mana- . gers of the '.Home,' they pursued the .., , jcourse in getting up the petition that he . Lad advised, and. in addition, he it was ;,who made the suggestion that, if the tpetition failed, he would get up a resolution, and use all his influence; in favor . . of its Dassatre, for a donation from the

When, however, the Council was found to be a tie, his position as Mayor ami a lawyer1, caused ' him to say to 'citizen' Bennett, 'you ask 'by-petition that which, with my obiw '''gations as an executive ' officer, and my ; . f opinion as a lawyer, I cannot grant.

" ' ' Mr. Editor As some of your city folks 'think that farmers have nothing to do but to sow few acres oi wheat or plant a few acres of corn and make a fortune, to the uninitia ted, I will give a few facts and figures. There . is a young man in this vicinity who rented 10 , acres to bow in wheat terms half in shock, finding all the seed. The ground in" this locality has been unusually hard to break and ' prepare for a crop this fall. He hired help to break and put it in at tho rate of $3,50 per day costing him $35.

. : . CAUSE OF EXPLOSION. Indianapolis, October 3 The pall which fell so suddenly upon the city, on Friday l--st, has not yet been lifted, and during Saturday and yesterday the terrible calami at the Fair Grounds was still in .the thoughts of nearly every one, and was the most prominent theme of conversation. ; During yesterday a large number of persons visited the scene of disaster, and some new discoveries were made,, while many reports ; were "put in circulation which had no foundation in fact. . It was reported . upon good authority that the body of a boy. named Zeigler, about ten or twelve years old, was found in the corn field beyond the cattle stalls, but the report was denied. Two dresses, or parts of them at leagt, were foundon the grounds, one of them being black and the other green and black. - - j Tho list of killed, as published, needs one or two corrections, fortunately for the better; but addditions must also be made to it. which leaves it as bad as .published originally, i ;t r ' : ; John Goil, the engineer, was buried at 10 o'clock this mornin?, the Odd Fellows and the workmen of Sinker & Co's and the Eagle Machine-works attending the funeral. frs - '' i . B. Davis, carpenter and millwright,' was 'buried on Ssturday, tha service faking fplace at the Fust Presbyterian Church. E L Davis, hU son,.:, reported killed, is unhurt, and the body which was supposed to be his, may bo that o & Mr. Winslow, agen", for S E King '& Co;, of Cleveland, ' bridge builders; ' William Dunning is known to have bien killed, as his nrm ha3 identified, having been the. stump of a left arm, which had been amputated. It adheres to a portion of the trunk, which was cut out as . though by the edge of a sharp piece of iron, severing the ribs. -It was barely possible that one of the bodies which still lies at the undertaker's, and not'yet indentified, may prove to be his. It will be definately ascertained to morrow whether the arm and portion of the trunk will fit Some men who have worked with him looked at his. body yes terday, and thought it bore some rcsem blancc to that of Dunning. He left an invalid wife and five small children in destitute circumstances. He was amemof the Baptist church, and n collection was taken up in the First Church, yes-,, terday morning, for the relief of his family. Though no previous notice had been given, yet, upon the appeal made by Dr, Tay, the handsome sum of 8325 was raised. The, South Street church also took up a collection for the. same purpose, the amount of which we did not learn. The body of Ruel Beverly was shipped home on Saturday,, to Paragon, Morgan County. - The body of Philo M. Benham was shipped to Fort Wayne; on Saturday evening. The bodies of Dan iel Long, of Vienna, Rush County, and A. P. Jackson, Memphis, Clark County, were both -started homeward at 1 o'clock, on Saturday . - Ignatus M. Rossiter was- buried in the Catholic Cemetery yesterday afternoon, from his late residence on Bicking . street.. " The funeral of John Wilson, a clerk with James T. Layman & Co., took place yesterday, the body being deposited in Crown Hill Cemetery - "' ' Byron B. McVey was buried from the residence of his father, in Warren Township, at 10 o'clock on Saturday. ! John A. McVey, a cousin to the ; lastmentioned, and a pupil of the High School, died at the Surgical Institute a bout-five o'clock yesterday morning, and was removed soon afterward by hi3 parents.' His funeral will take place tomorrow. Peter Kreutzer, foreman of Schmidt's brewery, was buried at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. ! : . Augustus Sitter, an apprentice and assistant engineer at Sinker & Co.'s foundery, was buried in the City Cemetery at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The funeral of little Clara Dawson;daughter of Henry Dawson, took place today, with services at Robert's tabernacle - " ' ' 1. Jerome Spriggs (colored), who was one of the off- bearers for the ' sawmill, was formerly a servant of General T. A. Morris,' who purchased a lot at Crown Hill, on Satuday, for the purpose, and will see that he has a respectable burial tomorrow : , ; The body of the man supposed to be Lewis Wilson, is still lying at undertaker Weaver's, with doubts as to that of Henry Geisel, but afterwards found ;to be not him.; ' ' t. There are also two unknown bodies lying there, neither of them having , yet been recognized." As before stated, one of them may be the body of William Dunning. ; There is jtlso ? a; face there which has not yet been identified. At the City Hospital, Sh'errod Loharn, an engineer,' : aged about fifty-three, - from Franklin, heretofore mentioned as Long, died at about 9 o'clock on- Saturday morning," and his body has been sent home. ; - : -; ' ' Robert Davs, of Danville, Hendricks County, who was'at tho hospital, went home on Saturday, out of all danger.' Those who were taken to the Surgical Institute on Friday evening" have been disposed of as follows: ";: ' , ; John A McVey and Peter Kreutzer died, as already reported; John White, of Windfall, Tipton County, scrioualy - injurled in the breast and stonlacli, is better, and ha? been removed to the residence of hlsi uncle, on: Washington sr.; William Pence, .of ( North tialeui,', H endricks County, who was badly scalded; is still there, arid Improving, Nathan ' Al5 derson, of Plainneldwho was 1fcv'ci ely, hurt in the head and breast, is slso there, with the chance fair for : his reoove'ry; r Henry . Colmau.: Governor. - Baker's coachman, is niucn improved and. was taken home. by the Governor on ' Saturr day evening; J B Sigo, of Wabash, who was scalded,-is- better and has gone home; Gideon Martz,' of : Cicero, who was badly burned, and.-his leg" broken, is doing well (he seems to be in excel lent spirits, and thanks God it is no worse with him); Mrs. John R. Weaver, of Hamilton County, whose arm was

broken, and her thigh severely - cut. is doing quite well; Mrs. Jackson Williams, of. Johnson County, who was very se verely injured- in-the spine, -thighH and arm, is doing much better than could have been expected; Noah R. Evans, of Loveland who was scalded, and had his leg crushed, Wra. G. Sloan, are there and doing, well. . -. Jt is the general expression that others were killed by the explosion, of . whom there is no report yet. Mr. Ballard was walking at the tinii with Mrs Duhiap,' near the scene of accident, and a woma.i was walking before them. A man was blown against Mr. Ballard, and the woman wjs. blown out of sight. '' J '' '. . A report comes from differont sources of a little girl being killed ( outright upon the grounds, an I of the body be- , ing taken' at once to a carriage and driven away. ; ' . . It was reported " last evening that a father and his slaughter were boarding at a house in the eastern part of the city, that tlie daughter was instantly - kill ed, being cut in two, and that the father' immediately brought her to the "city,' procured a coflin, and took the. body to his home in'Liberty," Union County. Another statement wasthat of a colored man being terribly scalded, and run- ; nnig in his fright directly to his home on North Mississippi - street y where he afterward died. -. " ', -! -The body at the uudeataker's which was thought at the time to be that of Senator Bradley, of Laporte, turns out' to.be some one el3e. ,. , , t The young Johnson, who was reported severely cue and scalded, was- a son John Johnson, and not of James Johnsen, as reported...... lie . is lj'ing ,- at the residence of his uacle, William R. Hog shire, ia this city. , . Three persons, not previously reported, Mrs. Gotlieb Schae,. who resided oh

Davidson street, whose left shoulder is fractured, her son, who had his left arm broken, and her daughter, who has a se-. vere llesh .wound in the head. Belle, a daughter, of W. Reynolds' aged about four 3rears, wa3 struck by a piece of the boiler, while in her father's arms, and was slightly wounded, but will ba out ,in a few days. It is claimed by several who have seen the amputated arm at the underta ker's, that It belongs to the body of John Slack, of Rob Roy, Fountain Conn ty, who was here at the time, having drawn Lis pension and gone to the fair, with a comrade, who has not seen him since. : Robert Buttler, of this city, was terribly scalded, but will probably recover. The receipts at the Fair Grounds on Saturday, which, were to be donated by the action .of i tlie Boai d, on Friday night, to the relief of tho sufferers, were quite insignificant, not exceeding 151). The Board, at their meeting on Saturday night, voted to add enough to this to make the donation 500. .... , A meeting for the iclief of the suffer ers vvill be held to morrow morning, and will be laigely attended. The Coroner's jur' commenced the examination of witnesses on Saturday morning, several of whom testified that there was a scarcity of water in the boiler most of the time during the day, and that there was too much steam on. They considered it dangerous. - Ono witness, an old friend of the engineer, called his attention to the fact, and the engineer replied that he was running that machine. The engine had 1 been stopped for several minutes to enable the sawdust to be cleared out from under the sawmill, and was about being startup again when the explosion occurred. The general opinion is that Cold water was being pumped into the boiler? parts of which were red hot, which was the immediate occasion of the explosion. - ; : ( . The investigation is not yet complex ted,' and! may continue for several days. Indianapolis, October 3. The Coroner gives the number of killed at the fair ground, on Friday, including two wounded that have since died, at twenty There i3 still one . body at ' Wea ver's undertaker's office not recognized, and the head and some fragments of flesh of another , .! , . John Loring,. of Franklin, Indiana, died at the City Hospital yesterday, and J. A. McVey, from" the country near the cityr, at the Surgical ; Institute, to day. One of the bodies at Weaver's is supposed to be that of John Slack, from Rob Roy. Nine of the dead were buried here to day. Two or three more of the wounded are in a very critical con: dition, and will probaly not recover.. , As near as can be ascertained, between nifty and sixty were wounded. Tho Coroner's jury are still in session, taking evidence, but will not probably return a Verdict for several days. It has been definately ascertained that there were no females Killed, except one girl, Miss Dawson, twelve years old. Several ladies were badly "wounded three of them still at the hospital. ' f i . Verdict of the Coroner's Jury. The coroner's jury met last night, at the office of Dr. Kirkpatrick, on Market street, and after some deliberation, visited the residence of Mr. Staley,' to ascertain if there was any truth in the statement that Mr, Sialey had said that Goll was drunk when the boilor exploded. Mr.', Staley' " stated that he knew nothing about it.'but that Goll's face was very much flushed that afternoon, which he thought might have resulted either from drinking or excitement, but he Irad no knowledgo that "he "was drunk. Tha jury then returned to Dr. Kirkpatrick's (mice, anil at 12 o'clock last night returned their verdict. - : ; . . The jury have .labored . faithfully to get at the, facts in regard to the , terrible disaster, having visited persons who were not able to appear before them and testify and their verdict is certainly of careful thought and consideration: The following is the verdict : . .. In rendering our verdict in regard to the fearful calamity which has spread gloom over so many houses, we deem It due to the community as well as to our selves that we shall say that we have arrived at our conclusion, obtained un--; der the embarrassment of discrepancy and conflicting statements, resulting we hope and believe, from the difference of judgement and observation as is often apparant where the opinion of a great number is received; and under the great er embarrassment of excited popular

perjudicer--easily forgiven where there is entire absence of conflicting interest and wheveit is only the rasult of trae sympathy and exaction of an injured and indignant populace, who have so recently been deprived and bereaved of good and useful citizens. L JH We summoned before us all from whom it was possible to obtain any information which would likely serve us .injreaching a verdict which would be. in., accordance with all the facts. 1 Wo have had every man who saw the accident whose name could be obtained, and we have the ; testimony ; of many .who saw tho working of the machinery at arions periods during the day up to a few minutes before the accident occurred. We summoned before us men who are familiar with the construction of en guies, in all their various parts, and aI?o quite familiar with the character of the material used in the construction of boiler, and nil other parts of the co-operating machinery. We have had the beneGt of the dpinion of men who arc

- learned-(and erf great experience) in the philosophy oi steam power -ana or tne points ot danger which at any time may be so quickly devt-'lPed iu-o disstruct.ive.. action.' . . - ' And we have had ' experts who have thoroughly examined the broken part& of the boiler and debris, which lies scattered over a great ' surface, and by .their aid have been ' enabled to form some theory, of the phenomenon of the explosion. And it is from the statements and opinion r. of such men, differing yejy ..widely- in :many ; essential particulars, that we are compelled to reach a conclusion -"p3 :"Tr"r" ' ' The condition of a boiler can be so quickly changedthat the statement -of any. one, however competent and . truthful, made atone time, could not bo relied upon to determine its condition, even within the short space of ten minutes afterwards,' particularly with an engine which was so frequently stopped. - There can - be - no other conclusion from tha evidence, than that the water was permitted to become low in the boiler, and when demand was made on the engineer for power to propel the . machinery he either had not tho u. oral courage to refuse to risk the danger, or displayed that culpable recklessness which ultiraated in the fearful disaster. ' In accordance with " these facts and details, we therefore find, and render our verdict as follows: That P. L. Davis and twenty-others came lo their death from injuries received by the exploding of a boiler attached to one of ' E. P. Sinker (fe'Co.'s portable engines, at the Indian State Fair Grounds, on the 1st day of Oc'ober, IS69, whic h explosion was caused by the carelessness and culpable mismanagement on the part of the engineer in charge, John 'Goll. deceased. 7 : . - Wiston Noble, " . , Foreman . ., John S.

Hadley,- who has boen for some months past in San Fian- ' Cisco, Cal. : The letter is dated on the 19lh of Sept., at which time he was to sail for Hong Kong, China, whither he was going in the employ of San Francisco merchants for the purpose ofpur- ' chasing teas.- His' health has been im"proving smce bis s6jo jrn iu the land of gold:' In alluding to our Gne school-house, he says: "It will no doubt enliance the valua of property in the West end, and is the only improvement worthy of note in that part of Richmond, which some of our more favre'l fellow-citizens had looked upon as being 'dead' this public building will keep up its refutation, and it and Meririg's bridge will be the attraction." . In a letter he had received from Richmond, he says in reply: "I learn the Newportians are, flattering themselves that they would be able to ride to Yearly Meeting on the cars. "If" the Ft. Wayne R. R. really is completed, I am very glad of it, for its hope'wa3 rather forlorn the last lime I heard anything of it: I suppose that Richmond is still improving as rapidly as ever,' Hi destined tj be a big town eventually." - Of Miss Anna Dickinson, he writes : She has been delivering a series of bpcturcs and 'speeches (a3 she calls them;) here , for some time past,1 ami with great success ami increasing popularily, until, in her. last lecture, she trod on the toes of the 'pioneer women' of California, and they .'got after her with a sharp stick.' She claims that she was misrepresented, and her language dis torted by tlie reporter for the press ; but she has lost prestige by it nevertheless." u- Vi'-i ; He has this much to say of the result of the recent California election: "We have just had a very exciting election contest, 'which resulted in a Democratic victory in all parts of the State, except Sao. Francisco,' where their worst can- . dates were . defeated. . The ; Chinese qaestiou: was the principal one agitated."' ' v.".'-;--: : ' 1 :"- ;' -'u " Good Advice. !

Editok: Tho mania for writing V)hjjnXscencespf Wayne ;co.unty!s early settlers, etc , has become quite a passion with some of your citizens, and, judging from i.?K specimens that you have givcu in your columns, it i3 not as hard work to ix this intellectual labcr as those old pioneers found it when they just commenced their toil in the wilderness particularly so, when it is considered that tho labors of the former are reduced to the science of merely transcribing that which has e lready been printed and furnished to their hands ! Sometime ago,' I noticed that an enterprising ; reminiscencer, '' from this city, furnished the Cincinnati Chronicle with every iota of the Listory of the early settlement of Richmond and this part of Wayne county, written for the first Richmond Directory ever printed here, by the late Dr. J. -T. Plummer. ' Not to be outdone in 'enterprise, I notice that Mr. Jesse Meek, formerly of Wayne county, and now of Gosport, Owen county, Ind., gives you the benefit of that which "-'purports to have been originally written by himself, of the bygone trials, privations, &c, of the early settlers of. this . region and the regions round about, when be takes the. most interesting part of ins -communication from a woik entitled-'Indiana Miscella

Meek is a candidate for fame, and will be elected, too, if ho did fail in being a candidate for Treasurer of Wayne county, and reaching that im portant post through the failure of receiving the support of gentleman who had .the -'rocks!' . The concluding , part of Mr. aleek's article, which you publish in your last issue,: boars the mark3 of originality, pure and simple ; but I was somewhat surprised at Mr. M 's liberal indulgence in an exposition of his private griefs, not seeing wherein the public was concerned : intimately or remotely with his trades with his brother in law, or any other , man. lie may feel easier after venting his petty epite, like the camel t when.released from a heavy burden that it ha carried over the desert; but I imagine that the plagiaristic burden he has voluntarily taken on his back will cling to him like the 'old man of the sea' did to the back of Sinbad, the sailor.
