A FATAL EXPLOSION. BUBSTING OF A LOCOMOTIVE BOILER ON THE’ ERIE BAILROAD—THREE LIVES LOST. Port JERVIS, July 24, 1875. The most terrific locomotive boiler explosion ever known on the Erie Railway occurred on the Delaware division last night, eight miles west of Port Jervis, resulting in the Instant death of three men and the demolition of thousands of dollars’ worth of property.

A brakeman who was on the twelftn car was looking at the engineer, and says that as he placed his hand upon the tmrottle the explo- ston took place. The frebox was biown out, and | the locomotive lifted bodily {rom the track and thrown backwards, lighting om the tender bot- tom side up. The air wi filled with fying frag- m jor some time; heavy pieces of tron fell all along the train, demolishing cars and endangering employés.

THE BOY MURDERER. CONCLUSION OF THE DEFENCE OF POMEROY, THE BOSTON BOY MUBDERER—BIS CRITICISM ON MAD DOOTORS, WOMEN AND THE JURY SYSTEM—THE ANALYSIS OF THR TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION. Boston, July 24, 1875, The boy murderer, Pomeroy, has conciuded his remarkable story, the main teature of the former part of which was published in the HERALD of Sunday last. 1n this concluding portion Pomeroy commences by quizzing and critictsing “the mad doctors” who came to sce him. He describes, with a plainness of speech that is very amusing, the mental and personal pécull- arities of @ach doctor, and evidently has not an exalted opinion of tne medical profession, though he 1s careful to disciatm any intention of being disrespectiul. Upon the verdict of the jury he is good enough to give hts opinion of the rea- . sons that lea the jury to their determination. He thinks that the government fatiec to prove that he premeditated the murder, and | that the circumstances went to show | that if he did kill the child it wa because he could not help doing it, He occasion- | ally qualifies his suppositions in this direction by the saving phrase, “I am imagining myself to have dia that murder.” He reviews his alleged cruelties, and of the statement that when ho Was | between three and five years old, he was caught with a carving kolfe carving a cat. It makes him laugh when he thinks of it, He says that i he did have a carving kui/e at that age it | Was muon more likely Jor him to stick it into him- self than into the cat. About the snake story, lie said he did kill a snake, which was found im the garden of Mrs, Clarke, to oblige ber, and that she, ‘un conlormity with 1e- males, cet up fo shricking, and said sne did not see how [ could kill a snake so.” Of the wit- ness, Mrs. Fosdick, who noticed that he had a white eye, When she says she saw him, forty or fifty feet from her, he says, “She ought to hire out to Barnum on account of her wonderiul eyesight.” He analyzes the evidence to | show that the witnesses contradict each other as to the time when the boy ‘wes last seen alive. He mildly reproaches “Uncle Cook” for violating the promise he gave to keep tne confession from the newspapers. Pomeroy then reviews the “good and reliable report” of vhe hearing of his case betore the Governor and Council, and comments on the signers of the petition who desire his execution, He. says that they are nearly = ail women who .sign that petition, and “women know nothing of law or humanity.” He concludes a lengthy review of the Governor's Nearing by the declaration of his telief that the Governor will commute the sentefice. He claims anocence on the ground that the crime, if he committed it, never troubies him, truthe ‘sleeps Well, Ras a good appetite aud “am hunky-dory.’? He concludes this startling narrative by severe criticisms of the jury system, and says that the law which requires that men sball serve who have not formed an opinion is a disgrace to the country, and that the effect of this -is to puta set of ‘human donkeys” im tne jury box in- stead of twelve intelligent men. A BOY COMMITS SUICIDE. Bosron, Mass., July 24, 1875. Harry P. Haynes, aged thirteen, residing witn ‘bis parents, at No. 30 Dwight street, shot himself through the head with a pistol, the ball entering tne back of the head and coming out at the face, | The wound Wil prove fatal.
