Tribu Irlo Ilir a to Emory judge Flinne liar aiming yesterday. A meeting the member the Hamilton county bar convened to give expression to the regret Felt occasion the death Jacob Flinn was held yesterday in room no. 1 the common pleas court. There was quite a numerous attendance the profession. Judges Storer and Taft were among those present. Judge e. Quot Woodruff was appointed chairman and John Johnston Esq., Secretary. A motion was made for the appointment a Coin Mitt five to prepare resolutions and the following gentlemen were nominated w. M. A Corry a. G. W. Carter Adam Riddle t. Mitchell and a. J. Pruden. The committee reported the following resolutions Quot resolved that we have heard with great regret the death Jacob Flinn isq., which event has deprived the Hamilton county bar one its oldest members although to departed in the midst his strength and us fullness. A resolved. That for Many estimable qualities and for his professional ability and integrity the Brethren cherish for to deceased an affectionate remembrance. A resolved. That his career at the bar and upon the Bench As Well As in other Public employments was a Ucb As to make him Many Friend a who Adli ered to him through life and that at Nis death he left not a single enemy. Quot resolved that in taking leave in these last words our deceased brother to deeply sympathize with his a widow and children to whom the officers Are directed to address a copy the bar proceedings. Quot resolved that these resolutions be presented to the courts the county with a View to their being re corded upon the . Corry after Reading the resolutions made the following remarks and How . Chairman i suppose no one feels under it stronger obligation to 6ay a word two with respect to these resolutions than myself. None knew . Flinn longer none appreciate his merits his infirmities with More accurate Justice and i feel called upon to Bear my testimony to his merits. He lived to the age sixty and taking his life altogether the world is better off for his having lived and worse off for his having died a remark that can not always be made members the Legal profession. Although he was one the oldest members the bar it was my lot to see him in the very Start. I recollect when he came from Between the plow baubles where he was bred to this City amidst All its temptations and sorrows and trials As Well As its rewards to launch himself a professional career. It was a great undertaking for a country boy for any Ordinary Many a greater undertaking fora Man with Euci forces every description As to be exposed to the Hazard running riot in a new a Cene action. He entered the office . Joseph Benham himself a remarkable Man and in due time went to the bar sometimes succeeding sometimes failing never having any method in his business but we do know that he always did his duty to the Best his ability for his client. I must testify to his Power As an orator and to the Surprise i often Felt when listening to his efforts before what is called a the country a meaning a jury twelve men As Well As the real country out in the Field the hustings. I Seldom heard a More effective Man in the thing to desired to accomplish in diffusing among his audience a patriotic Fervour and disposing other men to do More than he could do himself. I remember him Well in the legislature a country boy rounded off by professional study and City life quite adequate to the business to be done and very willing to do it always ready to take the responsibility and to testify to what he believed to be True just and honest and indignantly opposed to what he believed to be otherwise. I do not believe that a bribe would touch him in any part ids life. There was a native integrity that Rose above that which influenced other people. I a to not refer alone to Money but other temptations that beset Public characters and if he yielded to them it is unknown to me. I do not believe he did. He came to preside the Bench the criminal court and Here is a Topie which a word ought to be said in this presence. Or. Flinn was eid his salary for the Lime he was the ooh having been elected for a time certain but for some political other reason i do not know what the Law organizing the court was re it pealed and he had to judicial function left. You can not say a Public officer holds by contract for the period he was elected yet undoubtedly according to the first principles equity he would be entitled to compensation up to the end his term. Now if we have been unjust to . Flinn the injustice might be repaired to his family. Can not we do something to urge the legislature seeing that there is no Legal claim that they should give to his widow Ana children that which Tho deceased was justly entitled to i do not care what grounds the position was taken away i think he was entitled to his was a Man himself remarkable for the Power and the disposition to stand by his friends in extremity and this is another lesson furnished by his career. I might allude to an instance a period great excitement in thl City when what was called the a hard Money question was being discussed and the rancor and fanaticism that characterizes our people when any political crisis is at hand then As it does now disturbed society. The question had even Bec amp me one personal jeopardy to Many. A meeting was held that occasion which . Riddle was chairman and series resolutions were reported that divided the democracy. Some thought the banking system ought to be continued others that it was an unmitigated nuisance and were there to protest against it. The feeling ran High and matters wore a threatening aspect and i must say it was the forbearance courage and endurance . Flinn principally that preserved the order that Publio meeting from a disgrace in which blood might have been shed and Many lives lost. Or. Corry concluded by proposing the adoption the resolutions which was seconded by . Riddle. Or. Mitchell said he oame to this As he did to All similar meetings with considerable reluctance. Meetings held Over the ashes departed friends Are generally formal a sort routine and if he could see an Opportunity where they could abolish them and where the friends to body would have their feelings Hurt by it he would be glad to have that course adopted. They seemed now from the almost Universal practice to have become a necessity. To concurred in every sentiment expressed in the resolutions. They were True in regard to All that was said As to this deceased member the bar. He was possessed great qualities mind not developed by education but that had been planted there As it were by the hand the almighty. Judge Carter also made some appropriate remarks. He said that such meetings were held not for the Sake Tho dead so much As the edification the living and such a meeting As the present could not be called out by an Ordinary character. It was Well known that there were great qualities in the mind Jacob Flinn and though possessing very Little erudition he had a vast amount natural eloquence. Or. Ramsey alluded to one qualification that judge Flinn possessed in a remarkable degree a High appreciation the dignity the practice the Law a feeling which led him All occasions to exercise the courtesies and amenities the profession. The chairman made a few closing remarks. He said that judge Flinn was a laborious Man an honorable Man who discharged his professional duties conscientiously and who if his education bore any proportion at All to his natural abilities would have been a shining Light in the profession. To Felt the death so valuable a citizen and so excellent a member the profession to be a great loss. His career at the bar and the Bench As Well As in other Public employments was such As to make him Many friends who adhered to him through life and at his death he left not a single enemy. The resolutions were then adopted and the meeting the Campaign in City and county. Work Ilir closing week the october contest a Ifni is Moth Side.

Report United Staten local inspector a in the Cassot Tow boat tigress no. A a. Office local Board United states inspectors Cincinnati o., october 6,1868. It to Geo. W. Neff Esq., Surveyor customs sir to respectfully submit the following report As the result our examination into the causes which led to the collapsing the fines one the boilers the Tow boat tigress no. 2, which occurred at about half past 6 clock a.m., saturday september 19, 1868, while ascending the Ohio River with a Tow empty barges when a Short distance above Chilo some thirty seven Miles above Cincinnati by which one Foreman lost his life Aud two others were scalded. The boat left her Tow barges below the scene disaster and was towed to the City by another Steamer. The tigress no. 2 was built at Pittsburg Pennsylvania in 1862 bad four High pressure boilers Twenty feet Long and forty inches in diameter made Iron 13-48 an Inch in thickness. Each boiler contained two return flues fifteen inches in diameter made Iron 11-48 an Inch in thickness and made in 1862. She was last inspected november 9, 1887, and was furnished with the lawful requirements As specified in her certificate inspection the working steam pressure allowed being one Hundred and fifty pounds per Square Inch. Upon examination we found both flues in her Middle the starboard boiler collapsed the starboard flue having collapsed flattened horizontally w Hile the port flue had collapsed vertically. The water line Mark left in her boilers was not less than six inches above the top the flues indicating a sufficient Supply water. William e. Russell first Engineer was duty when the Accident occurred. He alleges that every thing was in Good working order that he tried the water in her boilers and found a sufficient Supply immediately before the Accident occurred that the pressure indicated by the steam gauge was one Hundred and fifty pounds to the Square Inch. Charles Anderson one the firemen duty at the time the Accident Aud who has been employed Board the tigress no. 2, during the greater portion three years testifies that he had just come duty and worked at the steam gauge there being one the Forward part the boilers that it indicated scant one Hundred and fifty pounds that steam was carried very regularly at one Hundred Aud fifty pounds that he had never known a greater pressure carried. An examination the collapsed flues when taken from the boilers developed the following facts the starboard flue showed Breaks separations Between the rivets where the second and third sheets from the Forward end connected and had evidently Given Way in places at some previous time the ideality being such As rendered it impossible to detect the imperfections and the strength the Iron being lessened caused it to give Way first at that Point. Both flues were collapsed their entire length the port flue retaining its original shape its Eort Side for almost its entire length the Star Oard flue having evidently been the first to give Way Tho concussion forming it against the port flue caused it to collapse in the manner and direction As above stated. Both Heads the boiler sustained injuries sufficient to require them to be replaced by new pues which together with two entire new flues were put in. The cd port flue this boiler gave Way during the fall 1863, while at the Landing at Pittsburg Pennsylvania when it was immediately replaced by a new one. It is probable that the new flue inserted at that time owing to its expansion and contraction being greater Thau the other produced an irregular Strain upon the starboard flue causing it to give Way gradually at the laps. It is the opinion this Board that the Accident was occasioned by the giving Way separation the Iron in portions the starboard flue which gave away gradually and which could not be detected . Russell Tye first Engineer duty at the time the Accident is a Man reliable character and an attentive and skillful Engineer there being nothing in the testimony in the circumstances attending said disaster tending to show neglect duty inattention his part he is hereby acquitted from any censure by this Board.

A Cincinnati september 22, 1868. A to the Board health a gentlemen your committee to whom was referred the subject the a utilization Street dirt a have carefully investigated the subject and have to report As follows Viz a the economical disposition the refuse matter a City like Cincinnati is a subject the greatest importance whether considered As a sanitary measure Only in its relations to the causes existence and increase population. It is Only in the former these two senses which your committee Are called upon to report upon this subject yet the latter aspect the question has a direct and important hearing upon the whole subject As it involves the fundamental condition the welfare both the City and the country it comprehends the Means which can be alone entrusted to secure the perpetual Fertility our lauds. A the City is the grand store House into which is gathered chiefly the products the soil and it is in the City also where the greater portion these products Are consumed so that the City becomes the principal Channel through which the Fertile elements the soil Are drained off. The elements which Are necessary to the production the crops being thus taken away from the soil in the shape meat and rate in those crops Are not returned it. It must therefore be sufficiently obvious that As our population increases the Fertility our lands will be diminished if the losses which the soil sustains through the annual harvests be not restored by the introduction manures containing the same elements. The population the United states is increasing in a much greater ratio than in any other country while the products the Laud under cultivation has fallen off. Now with the immense and constant immigration to this country from Europe together with the natural increase population in the country the balance Between the population and the Supply food can not possibly be restored under any circumstances. Again the products the soil can not he considered As wares in the Ordinary meaning the term because the commercial Laws which regulate the one do not and can not govern the other for example a history teaches that not one those countries which have produced Corn for other lands have remained Corn markets Aud England has contributed her full share toward rendering unproductive the Host lands the United states which live supplied her with Corn precisely As old Rome robbed Sardinia Sicily and the Rich lauds the african coast their it is therefore a question the utmost importance to the Farmer and Gardener How he May recover and restore to his Fields those elements which he yearly transports to the City in the shape meat and Grain. A these elements exist in guano in Bones in Street dirt in the sewerage towns and in manures generally. A tue fact seems to be very Well sustained that the Supply guano in South America will not last Over Twenty years longer if its use continues to increase in the same proportion a hitherto the Supply Bones and All other manures must necessarily depend upon the productiveness the soil. We have thus exemplified that great and comprehensive natural Law according to which the return duration increase diminution a natural phenomenon depends upon the return duration increase diminution its conditions. This Law governs the return the harvests upon Cornfields the maintenance and increase Tho population and it is easy to see that a violation this natural Law must exert upon All these relations a pernicious influence which can beset aside in no other Way than by the removal its causes. If then it is known that certain existing circumstances work Dele seriously upon the soil if it can be foreseen that their continuance must bring about the ruin agriculture then it becomes us to think whether not merely a Community but a nation should not summon up All her intellectual and material resources in order to preserve these fundamental conditions her welfare.
