The State Craftsmanship.

The Democratic state candidates meet
in Philadelphia this afternoon, in con-
junction with Mr.. Dallas, chairman of
the state convention, to select a chair
man for the party organization in the
present campaign. Those to whom this
selection is cOnlided are gentlemen of
such high character and ample infcrma-
tion that they may he trusted to make
wise appointment, in which the entire
party of the state can heartily acquiesce.
While they have, no doubt, had much ad-
vice and perhaps some importantly in
regard to the proper discharge of their
duties, they are perfectly free to come to
a conclusion regardless of personal con-
siderations OF the shrieks of locality; and
the party expects that of them. Mr.. Pat
tison and his more immediate friends are
understood to favor the appointment of
a Philadelphian, aud. if that is agreed
upon, the place will doubtless be conced-
ed to Mr.. John II. Read, and he is gen.
tleman admirably qualified for the post.
His choice would give entire s;ltisfac.
ticn to the party. But if it is deemed
wiser by the majority of the candidates
as it seems to be the preponderating
sentiment of the country Democracy
that the head Of the organization should
not be taken from Philadelphia, Mr..
Pattison's friends will no doubt &C.
quiesce cordially in this view, and join
with the other appointing powers in Sc
lecting some Democrat outside of the
city whose election will be generally &C =.
ceptable. In that event Mr.. Bogert, the
present efficient chairman, will be the
most conspicuous name suggested, and
there are many good reasons for his re-
tention in a position which he has filled
with energy, fairness and ability. Mr.. Pat
tison'S views will of course have greater
consideration than those of any other
candidate, and they will be represented
in the council by his own and Mr.. Dal-
las vote. If it should be deemed expe-
dent to select the chairman outside of
Philadelphia and the Philadelphians do
not favor Mr.. Bogert's retention, then
the choice may fall on some other person
than Mr.. Bogert or Mr.. Read and in
that event the place will have to seek
the man-there is certainly no one seek
ing it; and this is as it should be.

JUDGE PATTERSON may thank his
lucky stars that an intelligent and hon.
est board of auditors did not sit on the
bill paid by the county for printing his
paper book in the Steinman- Hensel dis.
barment case. Had it been SO scruti-
nized it would have been as summarily
rejected as a proposition that the county
should pay q judges beef or tailor bill.

We have tho very best authority for
saying that the reported interview with
Judge Black at Chicago-in which he is
said to have predicted the nominations OF
Hancock and Blaine in 1SS4-is fabrica-
tiOn. No such interview took place no
such opinion was expressed.
THE accounts concerning the guberna
torial contest in Georgia are conflicting.
The Atlanta Constitution, which is engi
ncering the canvass of Mr.. Stephens, claims
that he will have two-third vote in the
convention, and that a majority of the
delegates are in favor of abolishing the
rule making two-third vote necessary to
nominate. This is denied, however, by
tho Macon Telegraph and Messenger, which
loads the opposition to Stephens. It as
serts that the two-third rule will not be
abolished, and that Mr.. Stephens's nomi-
nation under it is an impossibility, as he
will have only few more instructed dol
egates than his rival Bacon.
NH. l1JcNNoIAhN LJOhNSUN, Cuc NOI-
wegian novelist, points out that the union
between Norway and Sweden is purely a
personal one, consisting sololy in the joint
possession of single king and that the
union jack in the corner of the national
flags of both countries, which other wise
are entirely distinct, contributes to a
general misunderstanding of their pecu-
liar relations. For this reason steadily
increasing party in Norway has made it
an object to obtain the removal of the
union from the flag, believing it more i'm
portant that the flag should indisputably
snnounco our independence as y people
than that it announces our union with
Sweden
NAT MCKAY, the ship builder, has writ

THIS morning we read a Telegram
from Egypt before seven o'clock that
was sent thence dated at that hour, an
nouncing the bombardment of Alexan
dria by the English fleet {; and the tele.
gram was sent from London under date
of 6 a. M, striking illustration of the
wonders of electric communication. The
difference in time made it apparantly
possible to receive news Of an event in a
far distant country before it had oc-
Cured. What would people few years
ago have thought of the prophecy of
such thing if it had been made to
them ? Has time any like wonder in
store for our descendants ? tits hard to
imagine ono that could be equally great.

FIRE APPLIANCES ON THE ISLANDS.


Chief Bonner, of the Ninth Battalion of the FIRE
Department. who was ordered recently to make
report about the safety of public institutions on
Wards, Randalls and Hart's Islands, sent III the
results of his Investigations TO the Fire CommiS-
sioners yesterday. The report states that the
present system for defending the buildings on me
islands in case of fire is very defective. ne e
machinery for eXtinguishing fires there CONSISTS OF
two steam fire engines and tenders, with hose when
is not serviceable, hose connected with pipes inside
the buildings and some hand IRE eXtlngusIers.
This machinery is under the control OF employees on
the islands, who have not been trained 70 use 10
effectively. 1t would be impossible with the appl-
ances in use there to throw streams OF water above
the second floors of the large bindings Wards and
Randall's Islands supplied with Croton wa er
from six-inch pipe laid i'll the bed Of the Harlem
River The supply is very dehclsnt belpg scarcely
enough for the of steam fire engine at ordl-
nary pressure. No provision appears to nave beeh
made for utilizing the small reservoir near the Guy
Insane ASYLUM OF for taking water from the Harlem
River in case of fire. The companies OF trernen
in this city that sent to the ISLANDS IN respon Sc
TO an alarm of fire are carried there IN boats from
the foot of East Twentys xth-st or from the docks
at Observation-Disclosures and One-hundred-and-
twenty -sccond-sts; It, has taken the beat
from Twenty full hour to reach the
islands with fire engines on board after an alarm OF
fire was sounded Fire engines going by way OF
One-hundred-and-tenth and One-mindred- -and-
twenty lists. have been forty-ive minutes III
making the trip, on account of delays in getting
boats. The tire-boat llavemeyer cannot reach the
islands in response to an alarm in less thad forty
five minutes from its station at the Battery;
The report contains recommendation that each
island shall be supplied with high-Seryice. water
works, to take supplies of water from the Harlem
River The works should consist of reservoir,
tower, duplicate pumps, and one twenty-four-inch
pipe laid through the island and connected
with each building by branch pipes and hydrantS.
Ii is also recommended that company OF iremen
he organized from the employees on each island and
that hosecarts and hook ndladdcr trucks he placed
at their disposal. As the construction of water
works would take considerable time, Chief Bonner
recommends that three fremen be detail ed on each
island Immediately and supplied with chemical en-
nd hat arr
of boats TO transfer lire engines to the islands with
ont delay in case of fire. The recommendations ap-
ply also to Backwelrs Island, although that island
was HOt included in the tour Of investigation made

TRIED FOR MURDER A SECOND TINE.

Francis McKenna was on trial yesterday before
Recorder Smyth In the Court OF General Sessions

tember Is, 1878. McKenna was tried on this
charge soon after the aiiray took place, and on
January II, 1879, was convicted of manslanghter

prisonment in the State Prison. The findings of the
Court were approved on appeal to the Supreme
Court but were reversed before the Court of APP
peals which ordered the new trial that is now
going on The facts given in the ante-moItem
Statement of Willse are that as he was gong along
Muberry-st, in front of the grog shop kept by Nc
Kenna's father he struck i'll the leg by francis
McKenna with knife. He felt the blood rum ing
down his leg and went to the other side OF the
street anC sat on a cart. John Mckenna, brother
of Francis came across the street with revolver
and pointed it at him and ordered HIM of the block
Francis McKenna came up with pistol iii hts hand,
and resting it on the shoulder of his brother said
Pm a better shot than you" and fired, wounding
Willse so that he died a month after. There mad
been previous quarrel between the young men.
THE mother of the witness while on the stand yes
terday, was asked BY exJudge Waterbury; the the
n;strict Attorneys office so frequently. "To get
jnstice on the murderers of my boy" answered the
mother in loud voice. The trial will be continued
