LAST EVENINGS DISQUALIFICATION TO DAY.
The convention OF Fire Engineers reassem-
hIed at Masonic Temple last evening, and Mr..
NJ N. bennett, of Hartford, Conn.,, delivered
tie annual address. His subject was Fires:
their causes, remedies and Effects He said
the interests Of the underwriters and firemen
were common, and deserve the attention that
has been given them. The greatest object of
the Underwriters association was the suppres.
sion Of incendiar1sm. This Of late years has
been prosecuted with greater vigor than ever
before: the total subscription to the arson
reward fund now amounts to $12O,OOO. He
said that since 1873 the association had prose-
G Ess ana convicted 81 cases OF 1n,endiarism.
1t had been said that IS per cent. OF fires were
