A pith In flenernl.
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. Tho school
will havo to bo built sooner or later, so
why not commence operations now?"

Ocncral Manager W. A. Smith of tho
Omaha Street Hallway company stated to a

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.

Notices are now being sent to property
owners directing tho laying of permanent

so many daniago suits on hand as tho result

montloncd walks aro not laid tho work will

of tho administration expect to have sub

Tlint .Murphy Mntter.
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.

Its Outlet Wtlt Feet Above tti Sur
rounding; Country.
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.

Stories About Thoiuns Murphy, Faith

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. Uiifnril Flouts Uninjured.
