An ExcIrIsa ELECTION An election for
chief engineer of the New York FIRE depart
msnt took place in that city on Tuesday last
and was most hot.y contested. The candi
dates were Harry Howard and Alfred Carson
the present chief engineer. The returns in
dicate that Howard has been elected by
about los majority. The Journal Of Commerce
says:
"The whole number Of votes cast was about
!, 600 The returns will be caDvsssed at the

plurality may be reduced by few votes
There is no question, however, of the general
