The fireIneD's convention met last
evening at the Friendship Engine house,
for the purpose of nominating a chief
and two assistant engineers for the coIn-
ing term. The seven companies of this
city were each represented by three
delegates, and James McAleer OF the
friendship was called TO the chair,
while Z r Lummis of the Delaware
acted as secretary. Nominations for
chief engineer were then opened, and
Joseph Perkins of the Friendship was
named. The delegates from the Wash
ington then nominated Hugh Sweeney
of the Fame. This was a bomshel in
the camp, and one of the Weccacoe
deleg ates said that their understanding
was that none but delegates from the
Friendship, Fame, Reliance and Wee
cacoe were to be present. The present
chief David g. Feeder of the Weccacoe
WAS nominated by the Reliance, but the
delegates from his company declared
that as he had already served a term,
they would not ,olerate his renomina
ton.
The Reliance delegates then present.

Friendship, and upon vote being
taken it resulted as follows Sweeney,
4 Perkins, Q McCaffrey,l. As soon
as the vote was announced the Reliance
withdrew, aud a few minutes later
we're followed by the delegates of the
Weccacoe aud Friend ship. The dele
gates of the Fame, Delaware, Wash

the house of the latter, and organized
by calling John G. Sasse, of the Wash 4.

Chad wick, of the Delaware, was nomi.
mated by the Pho ak and elected as the
candidate for first assistant engineer
The Delaware then nominated William
McFadden, OF the Washington, for
second assistant, and the nomination
was confirmed. An agreement was
then drawn up, pledging the support OF
the four companies named to the above
ticket, after which it was signed by the
delegates and the seas of the reepectjv g
companies attached.
The election will not take place until
the first Monday in April, and unless
some one OF the companies which COM
posed the last convention repudiate the
action Of their delegates, which has
never yet been done, the above ticket
will be elected. The Friendship say
that they will stand by Perkins. and q
prominent fremen, member oi
another company, said this morning
that the firemen as a body will not sup
port Sweeney. On the day of the elec
ton the polls will be open in each en-
Qipe house from to 10 p. m and while
each member of q company has vote
the choice of the company counts as 8
unit, and a candidate to be successful
must secure at least four votes.

Officer Foster then said, 81 want
nothing further to say 10 you," and
Klenle went out. He returned in a
short time, and upon being told that
his dog was in the basement demanded
that he BE- restored TO him. He was in
formed that he could have the animal

intention of Officer Foster to have
locked Kienle up, but the counsel Of
Officer O'Neill prevailed, and he was
allo wed to go, but the dog was still in
