QUICK WORK IN THE FIRST.
Both Sides Hold Meetings and Then
Break for the Other Distriots.

break ACI the OLneI DlSbElCLbs
In the First district the proceedings
were amusing. The anti-Russell fight
had been turned over to the Tammany
men and they made a good fight of it.
They massed their forces around the
mound on the west side of Ebert square.
Promptly on the minute they set up a
yell Mr. Thomas O'Connell nominated
Mr.. T.. w. O'Connor for chairman.
There was a resOunding roar Of
ayes and no negative votes, and
chairman. Mr. n. j. Corish was
elected secretary. Mr.. Thomas O'Con-
nell promptly nominated the following
ticket for delegate at large. George A.
Mercer, w G.. Charlton, }. II. Saussy, II.
G.. Green, i. H. GearOn. For district
delegates: j. +. CAVITY, Thomas Cooley,
NJ. DeeRan, w. O'Connor, M. J. OLeary.
The ticket was put TO vote and was car
ried unanimously
The Citizens Club people were so sur
prised at the audacity Of their opponents
that it took them nearly five minutes TO
catch their breath Then they started in
with a rush and followed the tactics of
the Tammany men. The latter had
already adjourned the meeting and
started off TO see what the other dis
tricts were doing r. j. McEneneny was
Citizens Club people and c. f. Whelan
secretary. The district ticket was then
put to a vote as follows. w. NJ. Gibbons,
Frank McDermott, G. A. Lamotte, J. f..
Lubs and James MCGUIRE The ticket
was declared elected and the county
ticket was then nominated by DR.. Il. r.
Sheftall as follows; J. F. Sullivan, John
Power, w. w. OshGrne Harry Willink
and w 2. LaRoche This ticket was
declared elected. Or. Sheftall and E. J.
Hartigan were named as tellers and the
crowd was ordered to line up and be
counted. The tellers declared 562 for
their ticket and IS for the Tammany
ticket The tellers acted generously, as
none of the Tammany men participated
in this vote. The Citizens Club people
then made a break tor the
other districts There will be lively
contest over the returns from the First
district Each side will claim that its
meeting was regular and that the other
was irregular. AS Il matter of fact there
were not over 500 people in the squares
and neither side could have polled the
vote claimed.

Russell shouted two or three times,
Every Citizens Club mem Der leave this
square" And they did They bolted for
the Third district meeting. But Waring
remained TO see what the other side was
going to do.
Tammany then proceeded to take a
count for executive committeeman at
large. Chairman O'Connel counted III
for Tammany's executive committee.
The anti-Russeu crowd disputed the
fact that the Citizens Club had ma
iority of the legal voters in this district.
They wanted to see the election properly
conducted, and thought it rather irreg-
ular when division that was called would
not be allowed. On this account the
auti-Russell men decided TO contest the
election, as it believedthat Rockwell had
not been regularly elected chairman. The
meeting was characterized by rowdyism
from start to finish. The contest will be
taken before the executive committee for
the decision as to whether the meeting
was properly conducted.

thine is a great element in combating

more to the efficiency of fire department
than rapid movement after alarm has
been received.
I'm regard to the personnel of your de-
partment, ! am free to say your depart
ment is composed of as fine a body of men
as can be found IN any department in the
United States, and by organizing your de-
partmcnt under one head their discipline
and Skill in handling fires would prove of
a great benefit TO all who are interested
in good fire service"
Chief Hale's report was received and
referred to the committee of the whole
for consideration. A resolution of thanks
for his careful and painstaking inspection
of the fire department was introduced
by Alderman Charlton and was unani-
mously passed

FOR A FIRE BOAT.

Chief Hale's eighth and last recon-
mendutiOn is that fire boat be equipped
and maintained for the protection of the
water front. 1.-The services OF a we'll
equipped fire boat, " he says. have proven
invaluable in all cities having large water
fronts, and the use and value Of this class
OF hydraulic machinery for fire purposes
is fast growing in favor in all parts Of the
United States where nature has provided
a field for their operation"
In conclusion Chief Hale says: 81 would
strongly advocate thorough system of
drills for the members of your depart
ment, consisting of quick hitching and
getting out of quarters coupling of hose,
handling of ladders and each man to be
thoroughly familiar with all appliances
used in the service and skilled in the art
of handling the same. For instance, a
hoseman should be so trained as TO work
with rapidity in ladder service, and each
member of the department should be
qualified to work Interchangeable if oc-
casion should require it.

AN INSPECTION BY THE FIREMEx.

Chief Hale recommends that thorough
inspection be made by the members Of the
fire department of all mercantile build
ings in the city, and that the fire depart
ment be given the power to abate or to
cause to be abated all Accommodations
of rubbish and to regulate storage of oils
and other combustible materials which
are hazardous and liable to start fires
The officers and members of the fire de-
partment, he says, should become fami-
lar with all large buildings and be thor
oughly posted as to their construction
and all avenues for the rapid spread of
fire. He also recommends that more hose
be purchased for the use of the present
department, as there is not sufficient hose
at present to supply each company with
two sets of hose
