DissracefuI Scene.


SAN Francisco, July 26th.-A disgraceful
scene occurred il the Board of Supervisors
this evening. StetsoD. member from the
Twelfth Ward, rose to a question of privilege,
and referring to the fact that Mayor Kalloch
at recent meeting of the Board of Election
Commissioners had reflected ON the Board,
saying be had stopped the members from
stealing, etc., said it was about time for the
Board to express itself on the subject. He
went on to say that during his occupancy Of
the Mayors chair Kalioch had repeatedly and
knowingly uttered the gravest falsehoods re-
garding members of the Board, and that he
for one would stand it no longer. Supervisor
Taylor rose and spoke, but Kalloch refused to
recognize him, and began speaking from the
chair, saying that he had the same right to
attack the Supervisors in the Board OF Elec-
ton Commissioners that the Supervisors had
to attack him in the Board. [Cries arose of
"Come down from the chair if you want to
speak" 'Come down on the floor of the
house" "Taylor has the floor" etc Kali
loch continued to harangue the Board amid
calls for adjournment and general uproar,
during which the Board adjourned ON its own
responsibility, and after crowding around the
chair in manner which for time threat
ened resort to violence, finally broke up and

Considerable Opposition.

Boston, Dec. 3O.-Considerable oppo.
sition has arisen towards the law passed
by the last legislature imposing tax of
half of one per cent per annum on the
net value Of the reserve Of all life insur-
ance policies held by residents of the
state, contrary to the anticipation of the
originators Of the measures. It is said
that unless it be modified or repealed it
will be tho means of closing every Mas
sachusetts lite insurance company, and
to drive from the state every other COM
pany doing business here. Owing to the
assessment Of the new tax three or four
companies have announced their inten-
tion OF Withdrawing their business from
the state. Several Other states under
what are termed reciprocating tax laws
have notified all Massachusetts compan-
les doing business in their borders that
they will be required to pay same tax
on the business done there which Mas
sachusetts imposed on outside compan-
les. The immediate result of the conti-
nuance of the law will be the falling off
of about fifteen per ceut of the dividends
of the policy holders. Several of the
companies will contest the constitution
ality of the new law. Such assessment
AS have already been paid are paid un

wlplse OUT THE LAST vEs1,eE.

Washington, Dec. 26.-There is pros
pect of wiping out almost the last ves-
tige of President Hayes conciliatory
policy in the south, with which he began
his administration and proved to be a
failure to his own satisfaction. The case
is that of Fitzsimmons, of Georgia, the
only democratic United States marshal
appointed when tile moonshiner troubles
in the Atlantic district eliminated some
months ago, in the killing of an illicit
distiller by revenue officer. Commits
sioner Raum urged the President to re-
move District Attorney Farrow and Mar
shal Fitzsimmons on the ground that it
was impossible to enforce the laws with
these two men in active sympathy with
the distlllers. Raum's representations
prevailed to secure the dismissal of Far.
row. but the president clung to his only
democratic marshal. So strong was Gen.
eral Raum in his protestations, however
of the unfitness of Fitzsimmons for the
position that Attorney General Devens
was instructed few weeks ago, to order
an investigation, which has been going
on for some time, and has just closed
The report has been forwarded to the de.
partment:of justice, and, it is understood
fully corroborates Raum's allegations
The matter has not been acted or
yet, and Fitzsimmons is expected tt
come to Washington in few days to de
fend himself before the Attorney Gen
eral.

HEATING BY FRICTION.
The Novel and Useful Invention Of a Boston
Scientist
Boston Herald,

Boston Herald.
A Boston gentleman has invented a
simple device which, ii its present prom.
ises are realized, ought to work revolu-
tion in methods of heating. It is moth
ing less than an invention to use fric-
tion as q practical means of producing
heat. At the time of the Ashtabula hor.
rOr, when so many persons were burned
to death by the wrecked cars catching
fire from the stoves, Mr.. Webster Wells,
then professor of mathematics at the
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology,
began to consider the problem of heat
ing the cars without fire. He has now
strong iron cylinder, at one end of which,
inside is fixed plate of hardened iron,
against which, firmly attached to re-
volying shaft. another plate presses, eth
er closely or lightly, as required. The
cylinder is filled with water, and this,
heated by the friction Of the two plates,
circulates through pipes, warming the
room through which they run, just
as steam pipes do. The water is kept in
constant circulation in these pipes, re-
turning to the cylinder, which is brought
to high degree of heat in remarkably
short time, Keeps the plates fabricated,
preventing their wearing away at rap
id rate. When worn away the cost OF
repairing them is trifling, and the ma
chine has no complicated work about it.,
SO that it is easily kept in repair. The
power required to run the machine is SO
slight that the waste, or surplus power
of the engines in use for running eleva-
tors and other machinery in hundreds
of buildings throughout city is enough
for all ordinary purposes. The machine
can be utilized in any place where power
is used. The ordinary sized machine
has thirty-six square inches of friction
surface in its plates, sufficient it is said,
to heat 10000 cubic feet of space. This
requires but half horse power. A ma.
chine with 225 square inches of friction
requires but four-horse power, and would
heat room 50x20O feet, or containing
10000 cubic feet. In railroad cars the
machine is operated by power taken di-
rect from the wheels, doing away with
all danger from fire in case of smash
up. When the cars are standing still
the machine can be operated by power
from the locomotive, by a contrivance
somewhat like that which operates the
Westinghouse brake. In mills it is cal
culated that great saving can ce made,
both in fuel and in the rate of insurance,
especially in those run by water power
The agent of mill where water power
is used estimates that in twenty years
by the use of this device saving of al
least $185,00O in fuel alone could be eff.
fected. Prof. Wells is now in Europe
looking out for his patents there. The
machine has now been in operation il
