aside from an unfinished discus-ion of taxation.
being a report of some experimentaeoudaetedajaaat
the direction of the Committee on surveys, ta re?
gard tu the flre-proof qualitiaa of tho material used
in the partition walls of the Hudson River Rail?
road stores. The experiments were recently COB
ductedat Klt7aheth|H,iti N. J., in the presence of
members of the boara, surveyors and Bremen. A
building, ten by lea by nine feet, had been
erected, of which three of the stiles veic con?
st meted of burnt hollow blocks, known as porous
terta-cotta, aud the fourth side wus constructed of
blocks taken from the stoics, which had
previously bet n stalked, so as to ba
readily Iden ti tied. The building waa erected
in severely cold weather and was exposed to
frost, ram and snow for a week. (>n the day of the
experiment the thermometer averaged27 .
A fire was stalled by Captain Hull of the Fire In?
surance Fat roi; hard woodend petroleum belngused
to create an intense heat. After raging for consid?
erably over an BOUT the walls were suddenly cooled
lo powerful streams of water. The most noticeable
effect of the water waa to soften the inside of the
wall so that it could easily be penetrated with a
penknife; yet the wall resisted tue haulest kind of
Kicking from the ins.de with the hoi tom of thu
heel. Theconcluaioua of the committee were an
follows :
fl.) That a wall of said luibniTit blocks if perfectly

lii-c-iiai rtweting quality, but that against tbe action of
1 water combined, lt ia Inferior to a brick wall or
to "JKllOIle terra < ottil."

with jaundice, having had a relapse, which the
doctors say is a serious drawback in that disease,.
His malady is complicated by kidney troubles, ll*
is about sixty years of age. han boen a free liver, and
no longer his his once strong constitution to faU
back upon. He has also been greatly fretted re?

atlects, Mr. Kinsella i? a tender-hearted, charitab.o

In the event of his death or permanent disability*,
it is rumored that St. Clair MeKelway may ho
M ked to take the editorship of / 7u tagl*. Mr. Mc?
Lean, the present managing editor, labors under
the disadvantage of being politically opposed, as Mr.
Kinsella is, and even mote bitterly opposed than
he, to tho dominant faction of the Democratic par?
ty in Kings County. Mr. Kinsella started nearly
four years ago on independent Democrat ie move
iiu-nt in Brooklyn, and carried Th$Kmfk from the
regular Democracy, which it had supported down
to thetimeof Mayor Howell's second term In office,
mer to tile support of the new party, which he
called the Jefleiwinian Democracy. It was hythe
ro-openttonOf this faction that the Republicans
have been enabled twice to elect Mayor I/iw, and
ii is the aama faction which is now maintaining the
deadlock in the Board of Aldermen amt preventing
the regular Democrats from organizing il iu their
own interest.
Mr. Kinsella was able to control Hi? Fail? in the
interest of the independents tn spite of the fact
thal Me.-srs. Kingsley and Keaney atid Mr. Van
Auden, who owned a controlling interest tn the
paper, were identified with the regular Democracy.
His course gave great dissatisfaction to the party
bailers, and the owners look steps lnokiug to a
change in the tone or the management of the |
Thereupon Mr. Kinsella and his friends bought I hr

gave a proxy for the other tweuty to Mr. Kinsella,
with tho nv-ult of giving" him the con?

and other small holders ol' th" stock. Mr. Van
Auden and Mr. Kingsley ret ind from tho contest
for "h" lillie.
A reorganization waa effected last wael M .
Kinsella sabsence,and it [sundi rstood thal ii is not
in his interest, though this is denied bj bis friends.
The proxy given by Mr. Keeuey is vd bv some to
be good for seven yean; by others it ls said to have
