Mr. John ]. Halligan petitioued Coun-
ell for $50 compensation for work perform
ed by him in discharging the duties of
plumbing inspector IN July during the ab-
senCe of Inspector Campos from the city.
The arrangement, 1t seems. was made with
Mr.. Hallgan by Inspector Campos, with
the consent of the Board of Plumbing IN
spectors, and the bill was approved by
that board. When the bill reached Mayor
Myers, however, it was turned down bv
him, as he was aware of the fact that the

WAS DELICATE TASK.
A Cylinder for "a Destroyer Cast at
the Trjgg Yards.

A cylinder for one of the torpedo-boat-
destroyers was cast at the Trigg yards
yesterday.
This event was not Of Importance be-
cause of the size Of the casting, but
because of the delicate nature Of the
work The cylinder has to be made as
light as possible, compatible with the
greatest attainable tensile strength.
TO this end the highest grade of iron
attainable is used, and the thickness of
the cylinder is only from three quarters
To- one and one eighth inches. Ordinary
cylinders are made Of soft iron and lined,
but there is no lining in the cylinders
Of one of Uncle Sans torpedo-boats, or
destIoyers.
The bore Of the cylinder is about 20
inches, and it is about 4 IL feet deep.
The mould was made at the yards. 1t
was enclosed in a huge, square iron cask,
looking much like an iron safe, only larger
than any generally seen, and not so tall
in proportion to width.
The iron is melted in the furnace at
one side of the casung-room, and con-
veyed to the mould in huge caldron
swung on crane.
The process of casting was an interest
ing sight. and was witnessed by number
of spectators in addition to the en-
poyees.
The caldron, containing 5000 pounds
| of cleaning molten metal in the great
| ladle. weighing 1000 pounds. was slung
around by the side of the flask containing
the mould and elevated, until it was
poised ready to be tipped over so that
| the metal would be poured into the pc
! culiarly arranged trough which led 10 the
mould in the iron flask. Mr.. Charles
Winburne, the foreman Of the casting
department, took his place on top of the
great flask 10 direct the delicate work of
| pouring the metal; Naval-Constructor
Smith stood Immediately in his rear. an
interested spectators; about the caldron
stood the laborers who mad hold OF the
long handles projecting from two sides,
While behind stood one man with his
hand on the crank, which he was 10
turn when Mr.. Winburne gave the signal
| that he was ready for him to tip the
ladle and start the metal 10 running into
the flask The spectators, including a
! young lady. stood off at safe distance
for the sparks fly in anything but re-
assuring manner.
A man touched the glowing metal with
a bunch of waste, attached 10 a long
| rod 1t flashed into flame, and the fire
was touched TO punches of shavings
stuffed into two large vent holes on tor
of the flask. AS the fame flashed up Mr.
! Winburne gave the signal. the man tip
ped the ladle, and the metal began pour
ing into the flask. And how the sparks
flew.
The object of lighting the shavings was
| seen at once AS the 1ask filled up the
gas rushed out at the vents burning with
| a vari-colored flame.
In less than FIVE minutes the flask was
filled with over two tons Of metal, and
the run was made.
1t will not be known until tomorrow
whether the cast was successful. as the
cylinder will not cool before that time
There are many chances that the run
will have to be made again, as will be
readily seen when it Is known that one
| OF the best known ship-buiiding firms In
this country recently made eleven un-

MAY ASK CHANGE OF VENUE.
The PiIkinton Case May BE Tried
Here Instead of Powhatan.

There is now some talk of a change of
venue being secured in the case of w.
G. Pilkinton, charged with killing Senator
w. NJ. Flanagan, and it is thought likely
that an effort will be made to have the
trial take place in Richmond. II is adj
mtted that there will be much difficulty
in securing a jury in Powhatan, as near
ly every man has expressed an opinion
concerning the case. 1t is said the kill
ing OF Mr.. Flanagan is the almost sole
topic among the people. both white and
black, in Powhatan.
Friends OF the dead man have been
working up evidence for the Common
wealth, and they say that there will be
two versions as to how the shooting oc-
Cured and what led up to It.
