While the members of tho Hoard of Edu cation havo been quietly taking tho roast logs given thera by the Taxpayers' league and saying nothing, It has leaked out that n plan to get oven Is being Incubated. At tbo last meeting of tho board It was de cided that no proposition to submit bonds for a new High school would bo submitted. However, there Is , disposition on the part of some of the members of tho board to go ahead and present the proposition toitho people. A spoclal meeting of the board, to consider this matter, will, It Is statod. be held soma evening this week, llonds will, so somo of the members claim, be risked for to the amount of $100,000. As the plans arc now arranged a portion of the building can be erected without marring tho beauty of tho structure when completed. One member of tho board said that at tho present tlmo tho board wns paying rent on clevon outsldo rooms. This rental be said would more than pay the Interest on tho bonds, tlcsldcs some of tho outside rooms nro far from being desirable, but tho board did the best It could In making selections, "If wo submit tho proposition," said a member of tho board, "and the bonds do not carry tho pcoplo will know who to bin mo for lack of school accommodations. This district mods moro school room, espe cially In tho central part of tho city. Dy building ono wing of tho High school now tbo renting of outside rooms would bo al most entirely done away with.

An unusually large number of orders for street repairs woro Issued by tho council Monday night and this means that Acting Mayor Adklns will bo kept busy for a day or two attaching his voto to a majority of tho resolutions. There Is only n small sum of money In tho street repair fund and tho acting chief executive bolloves In saving as much of this as possible for emergency cases. Whoro actual emergencies exist tho work ordered will bo performed, but whora ovcr such matter can bo put off It will bo done, ncforo ho left for tho east Mayor Kelly sot his foot down on all street re pairs for a tlmo In order to husband tho resources, nnd now only repairs actually necessary aro being made. Even with tho utmost economy the funds at hand will not bo sufllclent to keep tho streets In repair until tbo next levy Is available. MuM I.ny Wnlkn. Notices are now being sent to property owners directing tho laying of permanent walks within twenty days. The city has so many daniago suits on hand as tho result of dofcctlvo walks that tho officials aro tak ing hold of this matter with considerable spirit.

A hard fight Is on In the council In re gard to tho removal from ofD.ce of Henry C. Murphy, tho city prosecutor. Tho prcs ont chartor makes no provision for tho office of city prosecutor, although there Is a city ordlnanco creating tho office which has never been repealed. Those who aro fight ing Murphy assort that the matter will be called to tho attention of ono of tho Judges of the district court unless tho council takes steps to remove Murphy at Its next meeting. Friends of Murphy assert that he Is en titled to hold office until tho expiration of his term next April. As the council la equally divided upon tho removal of Mr. Murphy It will probably remain for the mayor to cast tho deciding voto when ho returns homo. NnmliiK Henlstrnm, Tho law requires that tho city council shall In September of each year designate the board of registration to serve for one year. This will be dono at tho moetlng of tho council to bo held on September 30. Councllmen from each of the six wards will select members of the board for each of tho precincts In their ward.

Experience has shown that tho height of factory chimneys Is not alono dependent on how much smoko or other "special pois onous gases' have to bo removed by it, soys n writer In l'ower. On tho contrary, It Is essential that a chimney, especially when It has to remove poisonous nnd other detritus products of combustion containing dangerous and unhealthy poisons, not alono for human beings, but far plants as well, is to bo constructed to such n height that tho escaping gasos produco no harm, espe cially at chemical factories nnd gas works, where, In most cases, the poisonous nnd dangerous products of combustion eseapo boforo they enter the flue, thus demanding frequently tho costly construction, which Is often found Impossible to carry out. After tho experience of today, an outlet height of nbout 300 foot above tho level la considered sufllclent to prevent harmful action to plant life, ns well as tho Inter ference with tho health of pcoplo living in tho vicinity of the chtmnoy. Should this territory bo surrounded with wooded heights. It Is well to increase In the samo ratio the height of the chimney. In rolling or hilly country, tho outlet of tho chimney must be placed at least 300 feet nbovo tho highest point of the surrounding hills; n chlmnoy In tho valley would, In consequence of this great height, cost so much that It Is cheaper to build tho fluo of tho chim ney on this highest point, nnd erect tho chimney proper on tho nlrendy existing higher plane supplied by nature. On account of this aforesaid condition tho Iloynl Saxon Smelting Works nt Halsbrucke, In Freiberg, wero compelled to build a high chlmnoy, which can safely bo considered to bo tho highest arid most prominent chim ney of this century. This chimney has n height obovo tho surrounding plnne of 4!9 feet. Tho height of the chimney Itself Is 429 feet, six Inches, and the square base Is twenty-nlno foot six Inches, nnd, therefore, nt tho time of Its completion. In 1SS9, was the highest chimney In tho w'.orld. Tho top Internal diameter Is over eight foot. This enormous holght. did noUtSUfflce to supply sufflelent security for 'hji, surrounding neighborhood against the outgoing gases, nnd, therefore, this chimney was erected upon one of tho adjoining highest hills, which Is 197 foet higher than tho smoltlng works, situated In tho vnlley. In conso quenco of this position, the chlmnoy obtains an additional holght, an Increased efflcloncy equivalent to a height of over GSfi feet. As this chimney could not bo plnced noxt to the factory, bat was built, as before men tioned, upon tho highest hill, n fluo of over 1.640 fcot was constructed, which runs part of tho distance over a bridge, specially built to hold I ho construction over tho Illver Muldc, which separates tho factory from tho hill upon which tho chlmnoy Is built, thereby reducing to a rational amount tho cost of tho construction, tho outlet of the said chimney being nbout 300 fcot nbovo tho adjoining piano. Notwithstanding this great saving by tho construction of tho flue, and utilizing na turo for tho additional height, the chlmnoy alone cost over $31,000; tho construction of the 1,610 foot of fluo $23,000, henco tho total cost Is about $56,000, Including excavations, foundations, nnd tho necessary Iron rings; the two later Items cost $2,620. But evon this tromendous cost has been a good in vestment so far, as tho company has not beon compelled to pay any damages to tho surrounding property holders elnco tho erection of this big chimney, whereas boforo dlvors claims had to bo satisfied to tho extent of 40 per cent according to govern mental decisions. The chimney was erected according to tho design of Master Mechanic O. Hupp ner, In Freiberg In Saxony, by the largest and most prominent firm of German chim ney builders. H. K. Helnecke. and was be gun upon September 25, 1S88, nnd completed on Octobor 28, 18S9, Tho system employed was the perforated radial brick, In tho samo mothod as was pursued In tho erec tion of the two chimneys at tho works of Adam Wobor Sons at Wober, N. J., on the Barltan river, which system this firm Is now Introducing in America. Judging by results and the general demands In this line It. will not bo long before America will surpass this big construction with a still taller chlmnoy; Tho following data will bo of Interest. Bhowlng tho Immensity of this construction: The baso of tho chimney lies 30 fcot undor tho levol and Is 19 feet 3 Inches squaro, covering an area of 1,860 squaro feet. Tho following quantity of matorlal was used, viz.: 13,883 cubic feet for foundation work. 17,736 cubic feet for pedestal, 63,666 cubic feet for the column, giving a total of 93, 285 cubic fcot of mason work. Tho mason work bad a special weight of 124.8 pounds per cublo foot, tho entlro lot then to bo the completely equipped kitchen will later bo opened for the uso of those who wish to prcpnro thoir own breakfasts. No other meals will bo prepared In the building, Tho lower floor of the building Is being re modeled for a meeting nnd lecture room. Other portions of tho ground floor will be used for classrooms for children's work. The Parish Aid society of All Saints' church will meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon In tho rectory. This will start tho fall work and business of Importanco la to come up for consideration. The women of tho Tlrst Methodist church have about completed arrangements for a series of five Illustrated lectures to be given In tho church by Mrs. W, W. Key sor, two In November, two In Decombor and tho last In January. All of the subjects have not been decided upon, but one lec ture will tnclude tho congresslonol library and the Boston library. The lectures havo been arranged for Saturday afternoons so that school teachers may tako advantage of them. . Ib-Q proceeds of. tho series aro to go, -to carried was b,30f, gross tons nnd the weight to be sustained hy tho foundations at a dead calm was 3.45 tons por squaro foot, lu consideration of the normal wind pres sure of 25.62 pounds per square foot, which Is officially accepted In tlermany as n sta i tlcal calm for chlmnoys, tho weight to be sustained by tho foundations Is Increased I to 4i tons per square foot. There Is no doubt that this chimney with j all Its dotalts nnd peculiarities is ono of tho I greatest works over erected In this partial I lar line and Is accepted todny by tho official organs of Germany ns a standard of chimney construction. I'ASSIM! OF A SOTBI) POLITICIAN. Stories About Thoiuns Murphy, Faith ful Ally of t'onkllnn. Tho death of Thomas Murphy, ex-colloc-tor of tho port of New York, renews to memory a tlmo of stress nnd storm in stnto and national politics, relates the Brook lyn Eagle. Mr. Murphy died In Manhattan Saturday at tho age of 81. Forty years ago and moro ho was made collector by Presi dent Lincoln, at the request of Iloscoo Conk llng, and his confirmation was stoutly re sisted by Hcubcn E. Fcnton, who was Conkllng's colleague lu the sonnto. A great many factional fights, both In republicanism and In democracy, havo ocourred since then, but nono of them wero moro bitter or more dividing than tho Conkltng-Fentou fight on Murphy's appointment. Hcubcn B. Fcnton was rounding out his ono term In tho senate, nftor having been uverni times a member of the houso nnd twlco governor of Now York. Ho wns elected to tho senate over Edwin I). Morgan, who had n right to expect ro-elcction, nnd who wns narrowly and unfairly defontod. lloscoo Conkllng, then, wo think, upon his first term In the senato was subsequently twlco ro-olocted, but tho result of tho confirmation of Murphy for collector was tho permanont retire ment of Hcubcn E. Fenton from public life. Thomas Murphy wob an Irlshmnn, n Hnman Catholic, a whig, an abolitionist nnd a republican. Very few Irishmen bo foro tho war wero republicans. Murphy's variation from tho politico of tho Irish mado him target for many nttneks, but the sustained success of tho republican party In this stnto and In tho nation brought to his sldo n number of his fellow-countrymen, as supporters or ns recruits, such ns John J. O'Brien, Robert McCord, Bernard Blglln nnd others. Tholr nationality, their religious faith, their political activity and skill woro recognized by Chester A. Arthur, who wns chnlrmnn of tho republican com mlttco of tho County of Now York. Tho defection from democracy which thoy caused nmong their kind Incensed that party. Their demand for tho plums of tho party to which they wont wns roscnted by many republicans. In whom "natlvlsm" was almost a bigotry. So when tho head of their number, Thomns Murphy, was nomlnnted for col lector, n distinct shock was given to poli tico, to commerco nnd to society. No Irish man had ever beforo been mado collector of the port. No professional politician hnd over boforo been mado collector of tho port, though soverul merchants who had been put In tho ofllco become politicians, und skillful oni', too. But such nomas ns Moses It. Orlnnell, I'roston King, Augustus Schcll, Slm'on K. Draper, Henry A. Sraytho nnd men of their stamp figured on tho roll of collectors, making tho nddltlon of Thomas Murphy to tho list an unspenk nblo surprise. Conkllng's grandiloquent de fense of Murphy "ns ono who woro tho whlto flower of a blnmoless life" did to Murphy moro barm than good. Ho had mado a fortune as nn .army contractor. Ho wns a rough, bluff, vigorous and not super fine manufacturer of hats. Ho had a nat ural fondness for politics, nnd tho conten tions of politics wero as dear to him when they wero physical ns when thoy woro otherwise Ho knew as llttlo what "tho whlto flower of a blameless life" meant as Conkllng himself know of tho restraints which nre tho secrot that saves rhotorlo from rldlculoslty. Well, ho became collector, with tho result of precipitating upon his administration n propaganda of criticism from Schurz nnd othorfl In tho senato and from tho Trlbuno nml othors In Journalism which finally forced him out of tho ofllco. Mr. Arthur becamo his successor, himself In turn to bo forced out by Hayes, with tho result of hU nomination for vlco president, nnd of his assumption of presidential duties on tho death of Garfield. Murphy's nomination wns tho storm center of causes which first mado tho Horaco Orooloy republicans bolt er In 1872, which subsequently alienated tho stalwart wing of tho republican party from tho support of Haye3 as prcsldont. which afterward defeated tho nomination of Grant for a third term, and which, still Inter, led to tho resignations of Conkllng and Piatt In 1881, nnd to tho success of Clevolnnd nt tho polls over James G. Blaine In 1884. Murphy was about tho last of tho factlonlsts of those days, though Thomas C. Piatt, then only n youngstor nnd now tho leader of the republican party of this state, was n Junior lieutenant of tho stalwart re publicans at that tlmo. After he was crowded out of tho collector ship Thomno Murphy took but llttlo part In politics. His thoughts must havo beon In tensely occupied with tho republican feuds, In which ho did not engage. As already In dicated, Conkllng, Arthur, Gnrflcld and Blaine passed from the stage. With tho re publicanism of Harrison and McKlnley that followed he had no relationship, and with tho republicanism In this state which now oxlBts his tonure was only nominal. If he was tho fltst of tbo Irish republicans, ho was not tho Inst, but as tho first ho put up a strong fight, tho consequences of which wero far-reaching nnd tho fortunes and misfortunes of which will not soon bo for gotteu.
