Yesterday tho inquest relative tothe cause and circumstances attending the recent terrible ex- plosion of an tron tank ef carbolic acid at the worka of the Robbins Wood Preserving Company, Third street, near Bend, South Brooklyn, was resuuied before Coroner Jones and a jury, Michael McGunigie, the mason who contracted tho brick and mason work of the boiler for Mr. Trundy, was first called. He stated substantially as follows: Ihave experience in setting boilers, but never set one like this; [ told Mr. Cunningham I thought the setting too low at the north end; the boiler was not level; the end of the rurnace, which was the lowest, Was about three inches lower than the opposite end; Mr. bees ae coincided with my opinion; I understood that he told Nir. Trundy of it; we wero buliding it uncer his directions; there was daager cf ene end being ary; I thought this dipping of the boiler unsafe, because the liquids would setie at one ond, leaving the plates «ry and an explosion hable by water coming 1m contact with them, Attention was here called by th@ Coroner ta the tesummony of Mr. Trandy, where 1013 stajed that the liquid poured out in @treama from one ent of the boiler, and to the statement of Mr. NcGuutgie as to the dryness of the other end, Mr. George W. N. Curtis was next sworn—T live at Cainden, N. J.; am superintendent of the Camden and Atlantic Ratiroad; 1 aia familiar with the Rob- bias wood preserving process from witnessing ex- periments and consiterable study ef the suvject; 1 Was acquainted with the process proposed gad car- ried into effect by Mr. Voornhies; the process spoken of in Mr. Robbing’ patent and thet used by Mr. Voor- hies is identical, but the application is diferent; I know of two boliers substantially built under the direction of Mr. Voorhies, one at Prince: ton, N. J., the otver on the West Jersey Ratl- road, the latter being a new one; they have both been in use, the oue at Princeton for a year aud @ half, the other for two or threo moaths; there has never been any accident or explosion there; | never heard of any; 1 shoutd have ceriainiy known 1f there had been any; the oli chaniber of the Prince- ton kiln, if L remember rightly, has broken and the onl escaped while it was being used strictly aiter the lan of Mr. Robbins;.it resulted in nothing bat tue urning of the oll which flowed from the still; at the Princeton still the vapors are graduated in ® separate bolier and conducted into the wood cham- ber by a pipe; the sitll is two feet distaat from the wood chamber; Ido not thing the explosion could have been caused by the vapors taking ilre, because the fie would not communicate with vapors within the boliers unless there was @ vacuum within; in my opinion the explosion would not have resulted from the communication of fire from without; iftiis explosion was caused by steam it was by its gradual production to @ greater arnount than the boiler heads could stand, not oa account of the sudden formation of steam by water coming in sudden contact with the heated surface; because tu the first place, if there was no water in the oil it self, there could not have been any generated until the water by heat pad been driven from the wood; the water dropping from the wood upon the sur- face of the ot! would have had no etfect other than to have vaporized the oil; think a small presaurs would have blown the heads of the botler out; it would seem that the pressure on the valvea was too great; the pressure in the boiler may have been small, yet sumcient to allow @ lenk- age; don’t think that water on tne top of the oll wonld keep the oil from evaporatiug; in my opinion the expios:on might have been due to the presence in the boiler of other materials than those enumerated; the deciine of the botier is designated As a greater element of safety, as it gives a greater depth of oil at the furnace, but if the other end should become dry and water come in contact with the heated piates would generate steam and cause anexplosion, In reply to a juror—The engine at Princeton is more on Mr. Robbins’ plan than on Mr, Voorhtes’. Divect—If the cocks at the end of the angle irons had peon opened and the water allowed to pass out the expioston would not have occurred, as it would require more heat and get the samo amount of pressure with dead oil without water than it woud require when water is present; tn the Still at West Jersey the wood and oil are in the same chamber, aad as this ts the most extreme pian of the process | think that if there were any dauger ta the process 1t wouid be in this one, Dr. Edwin. Squibb was then called to the wit- | stand and testifled as to the nature of dead otis. Washington McAllister, ® machinist, who has charge of a machine for preserving wood on tho Robbin's en ae Process, testified that the wood and oll were in the same chamber; the best went through in tudes; the boiler used by me 1s stronger than the which exploded; have made fifteen treatments; had the stop cocks been open the steam Would not have been #0 it; if there was no tem- rature Indicated by the gauge it would not be jus- idable to make any Opening Whereby atmosphere could enter; I know of no substance in the boiler that, when heated to 410 degrees would not indicate reassure; 1 don’t believe we ever had 400 or 410 jogrees of heat without any indication of pressure. To @ juror—We treat all woods alike; some for tweive and some six hours; the longer you treat the more oll will be used; we had been using oll which vaporized betwoen 300 and 406; Voornies said we ought to use ofl which vaporized at 200 or 300, that is where all carbolic acid !1e8; our boiler is run in the open afr, but has a casing of wood and felt near it; itis not in a building. ‘The inquest theu adjourned until next Monday af- terneon. ALLEGED SHOCKING CRIME, Another Chance for Mrs. Stowo—A Scene in the “Cabin” of a Mulberry Street “Unclo Tom.” Dr. Harris, of the Board of Health, yesterday in- formed Corover Flynn that Emma Jackson, a colored girl, sixteon years of age, and her babe, wore lying dead et 186 Mulverry street, and recom- mended tue arrest of Thomas Yates, @ negro, the putative father of tha atiliporn infant, whose mother was his own stepdaughter.

To 718 Error oy Tnw HRRALD:— In a previous letter to the Henacp, dated Octover 29, I have arraigued the statements of Minister MeMahon tn regard to the character of the monater Lopez, of Paraguay, as false im point of fact, and as tending fo wislead public opinion m regard to the merits of @ struggle which is, perhaps, less under- stood than avy other great event of contemporane- ous history, But I bave not done witn Minister McMahon. Various important statements of bis were then left in abeyance, and to them I now address myscif, Meanwhile, I note that the trench- ent challenge there given to Minister McMahon to deny, if he cau, the truth of my account of the origin of the Paraguayan war remains unnoticed by that individual, and that the tremendous series of charges made upon Lopez in aletcer witch appoared over tay OWu signature on the 29th of October, and which expressly called for ropiy, has veen leit equally auanswered, I also nove that since that time the Secretary of the Argentine Legation in the United States, Sefer Mitre (son of the late Com. mander-in-Chief of the allies), has in diplomatic, but unmistakable, language given the lie direct to Gene- ral icMahon’s audacious falsehoods respecting tue eonduct of the allies, Yesterday the name of General McMahon was before ihe people of the city of New York as a can- didate for a Judgeship of the Superior Ceurt. Though not desiring to mingle polities with my denunciations of tho caitit Minister who has brought American diplomacy into reproach, | nev- ertheless rejoice to see thig morning that the demec- racy of this city have fittingly rebuked vac unblush- ing cheek of this candidate for Judicial honors.

On the one side we have more than & Gesen detailed stavements by eye witnesses of the horrible becatombs which Lopez Ms sacriileed to his morbid fears and his insatiable avarice.

Ah, luere’s the rob! | have long known tae couvincing answer tw this query, but have been williag to allow General MeMunon ume to recede from Ue Jafainous step he Nastakea. The truth is, that General McMahon is the apologist of Lopes for mouey. 1 proceed to give tae roof, At the capture of the ositions of pea tu Lomas Vaientinas, in December last, Triage of wwe iciator jes, Among tie tropiues were an array of documents from the archives of Lopez hunseif, whose publication has sileuced in South Aulcrica all apologists tor the barvarian. ‘There were the recorus of the daily executious and deaths by torture, which in six montis had swept from existence tio very flower of Paraguay.

In the carriage of Lopez were taken documents bear- ing bis own seal aud signature, Which give the key to the conduct of General MoMahon.

The authorship of these Jetiers bas been fixed upon a former correspondent of the HsRaLp in Havana, Mr, H. J. Koppers. The secret vigtiauce committee recently established by the Spanish City Governor—a mere creature of the volunteer organi- vation—devoted thelr utmost energies to obtain proofs of the complietty of Mr. Koppers in the Hewatn’s too faithful narratives. ‘They tallied utterly, but notwithstanding the entire absence of proof they kidnapped the suspected newspaper writer on the eve of @ public holiday, trust him tuto the common jail, and kept kiin in solitary confinement for two daya, without permitting him to commutcate with either the American or English Consul, and without even according him the privilege of @ change of tinen, By @ G@exterous subterfuge the prisoner finally succeeded in obtainiug pencil and paper.
