‘The Steam Boller Explosion Philadel- phie Locder Life.” {From the Philadelphia North American, May 15.) , Yesterday afternoon, between four and five clock, a e steam boiler exploded on the mises of rs. J. P. Mo Co., iron founders and steam engine builders, at the corner of Richmond and Lehigh streets, whide several of the emaplenees of the establishment were testing its strength, under the superintendence of the fore- man, Mr. W. M. Sheppard, in the usual manner. immediate effects of the explosion were ter- rific and fatal, one man being instantly killed, and several others seriously, perhaps anortally, injured. Hugh Sweeny, engaged at work in close proximity to the boiler, lost his life instantaneously. lis head was blown sottvely off, and his ly torn and mangled in a horrible manner. J. B. Rey- nolds, draughteman for the establishment, was scalded from head to foot, and blown a considerable distance from the spot, and what is singular, when taken up, his watch was found to have s:opped at ten minutes before 40’clock, and was filled with water. ‘The clothing of Mr. Sheppard was torn off, one le; broken, and his body severely scalded. It is fe: that the injuries of these two men are x0 seriou: as to necessarily prove fatal. Philip Lehman was blown into the dock, and when recovered, it was found that he was severely cut on the head and much bruised about the body. Fears are entertained that one or two uthers have met their death by this dreadful accident. The boiler was torn into mavy pieces, fragments of which were projected in vari- ous directions a great distance trom where it stood. Three principal pieces were thrown with fearful violence from 90 feet to 200 yards. ‘Two of the flues were discovered sticking Hy in the river, sho: one hundred yards from the re, and the | head of the “steam drum was thrown over | the shears at the end of the wharf, nearly | into a schooner passing down the river, a distance of two hundred yards. A man on the stemof a steamship lying’ in the dock, either jumped or was knocked into the river by the concussion, but fore tely succeeded in swimming to the wharf. The | Was supposed to weigh seven toos, was throe- | hths of an inch thiek, and built of the best flange iron. It wae desigued for a low preseure engine steamboat at the South, and believed to have been capable of bearing a pressure of eta of two huc- dred pounds to the square inch, The immediate cause of the deploruble catastrophe is not known, us all the usual necessary preeautions were taken in making the trial. ‘The per | font injured were the rea ones oognizant of the state of the operation at the time of the explosion, condition precludes the possibility of ob: taining information trom them, eo us to determine the cause of the ident. Mr, Sweeny bas left « wife ard four children, and one or two of the others, it is said, have famili {Prom the Philadelphia Sun, May 15.) ‘The consternation which prevailed is described as having been dreadful. Tbe steamship Mannclita Rosas was lying on the south side of the wharf, atthe time of the explosion, a man was either blown from deck, or jumped overboard. He swam id save dhjinsef. ‘The steamboat mn the north side of the wharf, jemin Aigen was stending under e deck, near the front part of the | boat, at the sime of the explosion. He says that the doors of the steamer were opened by the con- | cussion, and that he himself was well nigh pr trated.’ A portion of the boiler struck the forward railing of the Oricket, demolished it and ajso smash- ed in the side of a suall boat lying om the forward deck. The head of the steam drum, weighing two er three hundred pounds, was thro#n upwards, | and it passed over a pair of shears at least ninety feet high, on the endot the whart, and was eed to a dictance of about two hundred yards. The heavy | jiece of iron fell within a font gare of a schooner ind down the river. number of the flues of the boiler were blown northward to a distance varying from a hundrod feet to two hundred yards. About one-third of the boiler was blown westward, and fell in the dock, adistance | of at least eighty feet, and the remainder was torn to pieces, as if it wasso much lead, and strewn on the wharf. ‘The boiler was about fourteen feet in length avd five fect in diameter. At the time it blew up, there were a number of people standing on tbe wharf, and it is said that a man wearinga white bat, who was a stranger, suddenly disappear- ed. The roll was called at six o'clock, and there ‘was one man missing from the foundry shop, whose mame we coud not learn. It is hoped that he has not shared the same fate as poor Sweeny. | | | | ERTISEMENT. India Rubber Patents. (From the Newark Mereury } More than twelve different patents, to a8 many different persons, have been granted in the United Siates and England, within the last ten rs, for ulcanized Rubber, vtallie . Insoluble Rub- *Thionized Rubber,” &e. One distinguish- ing quality of all of them is, that changes of atmo- spbcre do hot appreciably affect them. [ach of these tents is a process independent of and different ‘om the other, depending upon the same common authority for their title—the Patent Oilice and Pa- | tent Laws of the United States and Hagland ; and at least seven of these patents have been granted in the United States, to American citizens. One of the first, and that which is more generally used—in both the United States and Mngland-- than all the rost, was yee to . by the name of Hancock, of England, in November; 1843, and enrolled in May, 1844. This was for ouring rubber by sulphur and heat, and adding also a cheap article—French chalk or whiting, now ge- nerally |, and especially in the article of rubber shoes. ‘This material forms about one-half, by weight, of the composition. A full deseription of pa J mg may be found in Newton's London Jour- nal for 1845. All known to be engaged in the vulcanized rubber business in the United Scates derive their principal success from this discovery of Hancock; although most of thom stamp the goods “Goodyear’s “gyn under an agreement made by a majority who are confederated together, under agreements and stipulations, one of which is that rubber goods made by them shall be taken am deemed to be made under Goodyear’s patent, whe- | ther so made er not.” Another ent (2) for vuleanized rubber, was ranted in England, to Alexander Parkos, dated Reportory of Patent [nven- passant, road page 120, it (3) to Charles Keone, in England, , in which he gives a valuabl> cre tions, vol. 6, page 247. eame journal Another issued in vuleanizing rubber as a simple substance. scription in Repertory of Inventions, 18!

Experience shows that metallic substances are injurious to rubber, and can only be useful at ali trom the chemical ef- feets which result from their presence when ex- last, and in onr humble pored, in combination with sulphur, to a high heat. When this (to us unknown) effect is pro- the further existence of the motutlic powders in combination, acts as a destroying agent upon the rubber, 'By the discovery of Mr. he urdy, no metallic substance is used; yet the | vulcanizing effeet is produced. When a better dis- covery is made in India rubber, we will indeed re- joice.” ‘The question naturally arises, bow is it that the rubber business is a close monopol over 100 yer ecnt. per annum to the capital in it? ‘The answer is—The subject is not all under- stood by the public at large, and the plan of a ma- jority of those in the business is to pretend that everything is made under Gicodycar’s patent, and thatevery thing is covered by the same patent— neither of which allegations have foundation in truth. Yet, with a tull knowledge of these facts, parties reason after this wise—*>uppose we pay & +mall tariff to 2 common fund, a small which we give to Goodyear, or anybody ¢ name we cnn inflate as a great inventor ; anol small on we Will pay to lawyers annoy any person who will not enter our ring will in this way keep the public out of the business. If any considerable firm enters the field after al! our efforts to seare off, we will compromise--show him that be will make more money by paying us tribute, than to vindicate his rights and expose the business to the rightful a“ ment of all.” Thi very course has been adopted by as many as three concerns Within a few months. ow, regarding th ridiculous pretenecs of this combination, that ¢ year bas a monopoly of vulcanized rabber, beside the foregoing, the following pregnant facts stare in | the public fi Ist. No court or jury has ever yet declared ths original orr ued patent of Goodyear to be valid. 2d. The holders have been tedly challenged, but have never ventuied to permit ic to reach trial before a court or jury upon its merits, 3d. More than a dozen distinguished lawyers have given written ms that the re- void, and upon its faces apart from the existence 0 other patents, 4th. That, alihough these opinions have been published to the world, no lawyer (always except- ing one who is & principal owner w year) or judge, has even declared the pa id, much less to give a written opinion! It is proper to state that Mr. Staples, the prinei- pal counsel for the confederates, has declared he had no hand in the re-issuing of the patent, which was accomplished by Charles M. Keeler, during the ad- ministration of the Patest Office by Thomas Ewbank. Detore this event, the patent offices of the United States and England had granted mor than a dozen different patents.
