The Talest Chimney in the World.

The tallest chimney in the world is
the Townsend chimney, Glasgow, Scot
land. 1t was built by Robert Corbett,
of Glasgow, for Joseph Townsend, of
Crawford street chemical works. The
total height from foundation to top of
coping is 46S feet, and from ground
line to summit, 454 feet the outside
diameter at foundation being so feet, at
ground surface 80 feet, and at top of
coping u feet inches. The number
of bricks used IN the erection were as
follows: Common bricks in chimney,
], ZAP, $40 ; composition and fire bricks
for inside cone, 1877. 46S; common bricks
for fiues, ETC., 100, 900 total, l, 400, 600.
The weight of bricks at tons per
1000 Is equal to 1880 tons. When
within 5 feet of completion, the chin
ney vas struck by gale from the north
east, which caused IL to sway feet 8
inches of ne perpendicular, and it
stood several feet less IN hight than be-
fore It swayed. To bring back thu
shaft to lis true vertical position, saw
ing back" had to be resorted to, which
was performed b7 Mr.. Townsend's own
men, ten working IN relays, four at
time sasiug, and two pouring water
on the saws The work was done from
the inside on the original scaffOlding,
which had not been removed. Holes
were first punched through the sides to
admit the saws, which were wrought
alternately IN each direction at The
same joint on the side opposite the in
clination. so that the chimney was
brought back in a slightly osciliating
manner This was done at twelve diff

PoIICE.CoURT ITEMs.-There were three
decidedly original characters before the Po.
lice Justice on Saturday, all charged with
being drunk. Thornton Carter, witty and
penitent, told the old story of his misfortune
and weakness, and begged off; Ben. Bowles

interesting; and Pat. Page, who said he WIS
q "big man here in Richmond" and that be
.. bad three lawyers to defend him." appeared
to be suffering more from want of sense than
drunkenness. When be was discharged be
was not satisfied. He threatened to appeal
to Judge Guigon or TO Governor Kemper.
Carter said he had only thirty.tive cents left
in bis pockets. and the usual fine was not
eXacted of him, especially as on other
occasions he has literally contributed to the
CITY treasury. Carter said to the Justice about
Bowles, d" Oh, he is an old friend of mine; frs
offence; let him off," But as BoWles had vic.
lated the ordinance by sleeping on market.

fined 81. The three erring ones marched

DECISION IN THE LUMBER. MEASURER'S s CASE.
Poiice-Ju uStce White on Saturday morning
heard further evidence in the case OF Dir.
Thomas J. BeaI. charged with measuring
lumber without having obtained the proper
ilccDse from the city authorities. Mr. Beal
had been at work measuring lumber for MIR.
Charles Z. Whitlock, lumber dealer, and in
presenting the case to his Honor arguments
were made by Mr.. Z. Darlington Cabell IN
behalf of two licensed measurers, and by Mr..
Whtlock for the accused. Justice White
promptly rendered his decision, in which
he rccited the fact that there some time
ago existed city ordinance compelling all
lumber. except such as was cut TO order, TO be
inspccted and measured, and returns of the
same made by the surveyor or inspector.
This ordinance had been repealed. There Is
now no such law, and no such officer as sur
yeyor or inspector. Inspectors are licensed
10 do business just as grocerS, doctors, law
ycrs, and others are, and, like them. are liza.
bile to class-tax. They are candidates for
public patronage; they hang out their signs
and seek business; nobody is bound TO 20
to them. They cannot say to you de-
lnand TO inspect Your lumoer-lt Is my
right" Still, the Police Justice was OF opln'
ion that when any one was employed to mea-
sure lumber it should be licensed measurer.
1t was not denied that a lumber-deaer, or
bona .fde and regulary.saaricd employe,
could measure lumber for that dealer, but
other persons should get out license. he
required Mr. Beal 10 get outa license. That
MIR. Besl previously contemplated doing, and
the decision was, therefore, perfectly salts
factory to every one.
Justice White further decided that in.
spectors could not delegate their powers.
Their license is personal privilege, not to
be transferred. Some Of the inspectors here
have one or two men measuring under or for
them that will have 10 be stopped, or the
party so measuring ana not having license
ia his name will render himself liable 10 The
penalties Of law.
