The Jail Committee of the Councils.

Select branch. have made an inspection
Of the present Jail and station house,
in company with Chief Iiizer. Sergeant

found the conditions at the jail in just
such shape as they were reported by
the special Jail commission appointed
by Judge lIanckel. These very crampcd
and unsanitary conditions have been
fully explained in this paper. In some
cells there arc as many as five and six
prisoners. The food and care OF the
Jail are excellent. but the quarters are
entirely too close To admit OF Il sani-
tary condition there.
THE STATION-HOUSE.
The committee found the station
house entirely Inadequate to the de-
mands of this department. There are
not enough cells and they are not pro-
perly ventilated.
Then. in addition TO this. the Chief
has only one small office. which admits
OF but little privacy in conducting
business The same thing is true as
to the detectives quarters.

opinion that Il new, modern Jail is
needed. consultation was held with
Mayor Johnston and IL was decided to
report In Councils that Il new Jail. with

NORFOLK BOYS INVENTION.
VALUE IN MECHANICS.

VALUE IN MECHANICS.
a Virginian- Pilot representative was
shown yesterday a recent invention by
a Norfolk gentleman. which bids fair.
If 1t proves u success, to revolutionize
-holtwork in fishplatc laying ON rail-
roads.
The fish plate is the iron strap which
ties two rails together and holds them
in position to each other. In the past
much trouble has been had from the
working loose OF the nut which held
the bolt in place as result of the jar
from passing trains. thus losing the nut
and bolt frequently, and thus endanger-
Ing the safety of the track.
This new invention, the product of the
brain OF Mr.. G. s. Clark. of Norfolk,
is a pawl or ratchet. socketed in the
inner rim of the nut-thread. which falls
by action of Eravitation into slot cut
in the thread of the bolt. and prevents
the nut from turning OFF though it does
not prevent the turning the nut tighter.
y later addition to the invention is n
bevel to the bottom OF the socket and
corresponding bevol TO the inner end of
the pawl which. when in pcrpendicu-
lar position throws the pawl into the
slot. thus permitting the use of the in
vention in either an upright or horizon
tai position.
Machinsts. shipltters and railroad
men arc greatly interested in the in
vention and are testing it, Should IT
prove success il will he Il source of
great saving in mechanical work and n
fortune TO It's inventor.
