REALLY A BIG THING.

The American Heirs to the Great ChNse ENG
lisl} Estate to Receive About S2GO,000, 600
--Chicago the Home of Some ofthe Fortunate
Ones.
Already public interest has been excited to 8
considerable degree by the decision in the cele-
brated 4" "Chase will case !" in favor OF the Ameri-
can heirs, several Of whom reside in Chicago.
and others are scattered over the Northwest.
From Mr. J. H. B. Henderson, Of this city, re-
siding at No. 1922 Wabash avenue, party in
interest by marriage, We have obtained the fol-
lowing interesting facts in connection with one
of the most enormous bequests ever distributed:
The vast property first came from 3 Sir Town
lev, Of Townley Hall, living then in Lancaster
shire, to whom, in addition to his OWL estates
vast fortune WAS bequeathed, consisting OF es-
tates in LeicesteEshirc. Sir Town1ey had one
son, who married, and in turn left one son, who
married and left male heir. The Latter never
married, and to his sister Mary the entiro pos
sessions Of Sir Townley came in succession, and
to her heirs. She married q man named Chase,
to whom she bore four SONS, named, respective
1y, Richard, William, Thomas. and Aquilla.
Richard remained in England, but the other
three came to America in about the
year 1929; Aquilla settiing IN Tiosn"s Nowoury
Rhode Island or vicinity; and William,
in Yarmouth, Mass. The amount bequeathed
was originally, 1886, 900, 900, OF which fourth
was disbnrsed to the heirs Of Richard, who had
remained in England, and the remaining, three
fourths, by the recent decision, is to be dis
tributed among the American heirs: The de-
cison was telegraphed to one OF the Chase heirs.
then at Louisville. and einco that time several
meetings of the heirs have been held at Newport,

James johnson says that league and
fever are as drop of water in the ocean
compared with other less obtrusive but
more dangerous maladies that silently
disorganize the vital structure of the hu
man fabric under the influence of this
deleterious and invisible poison" Car
bonic acid intoxication is the most ter
rible agent OF disease, insanity, aud i'm
morality that we have to deal with, and
all the more terrible and dangerous as
ii is INDUCED in by all classes and by all
ranks. Inhabitants OF the most wretch
ed houses on Baxter street cling to the
inhalation of impure air with the same
fer7or and love as the owner of the fin.
est dwelling on Fifth avenue, who care
fully shuts out the pure air under the
pretence of excluding the draught and
wraps himself in the poisonous atmos-
phere rs if it were of all things his best
and dearest friends. And what | desire
particularly to insist on, one of the mo t
effective elements in the spread of this
carbonic acid intoxication is tho hot air
furnace. 1t not only impairs ventila-
ton, but assists in the adulteration of
air air.
To put hot-air furnace in house i 8
like furnishing your milkman with
chalk or your wine merchant with
strychnine. A vitiated atmosphere is
quite as injurious and Supplying as the
most alcoholic drinks. 1t spoils your
dinner ; it kills sleep it is the greatest
enemy of the preacher, in that it makes
people stupidity drowsy it disarranges
the whole natural organism, and Judge
and jury in court room filled with the
pestilential air, as most of our court
rooms are, are as much under the infiu
ence OF deathly narcotics as the inhalers
OF opium make the poorer classes Of our
large cities. tits all very we'll to preach
temperance, but is it not also well and
OF paramount necessity to preach and
procure clean pure air and healthy sun
light ? 1t is worse than folly to refuse
the cup from which your friend has
drunk, and at the same time breathe
into the Utmost recesses of your body
the cir from the lungs of promiscuous
crowd.
One word with regard to drainage.
In the close of streets OF our large cities,
where gas pipes, sewers, etc, run
through to so vast an extent, the earth
is filed with innumerable agents of dan
ger to the health, all of which require
the most careful watching on the part of
the architect, and against many of which
s,ience has not as yet provided. Par
ticularly in winter, when the gas if heat
ed, draws the atmosphere and gas of the
adjoining ground into those rooms, were
these clements dangerous and conspir-
ing to spread epidemics.
Thus in the most manifold way is the
public health connected with architec-
ture, and thus the science of hygiene
depends upon the occupation Of the
builder. / shall feel satisfied if l have
succeeded in illustrating this in neces-
sarily very imperfect and fragmentary
manner by statement of few general
principles.
AT the conclusion Of this paper the
association took recess till half-past
seven.
