About ten o'clock last night Engineer
Denmead was seated in Fire Headquarters
when a telephone message was received
to the effect that yacht was on fire at
the shore. Chief Denmead Immediately
telephoned to No. 10 engine in Lafayette
and sent it to the scene. When the en-
gine arrived there it was found that the
fire was SO far from a hydrant that Moth
ing could be done. Another telephone
message was sent to Fire Headquarters
and still another had to be sent from
there to the house of No. 10 engine order
ing the hose cart to the spot. During this
delay the fire blazed merrily and the
yacht was being consumed. AT last the
hose cart arrived and a stream turned
on the burning boat, but it was too late,
and in a short time, with a loud hiss,
the yacht settled on it's side and the
waters of the bay extinguished the flames
below the deck. The yacht was then
complete wreck.
At McSpirit's yard this morning it was
learned that a man named Brewer owned
the yacht, but who he is News re-
porter was unable to learn. An employe
said the yacht had been lying at the
yard for Two weeks awaiting repairs and
that he was at a loss to understand how
the fire originated. The yacht he said
was Y feet long and was worth 900
Whether the yacht was insured or not
he did not know
Chief Denmead said this morning that
if the person who discovered the fire had
presence of mind enough to have sent in
an alarm from the nearest box the yacht
would have been saved. or if the yacht
had lain in sufficiently deep water it
could have been scuttled and saved, but
the delay of telephoning settled the fate
of the boat.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

Jersey CITY, sept. 70, 1875
Dear Sir-The coming election bids fair
to result in the success of our national
ticket, and there seems to be a very good
chance also for our candidates on the
Congress onal and county ticket, Sheriff.
Surrogate, Coroner and Freeholders.
Some of my friends are favorable to my
entering the field as candidate for the
nomination Of Surrogate, alleging that my
services to the party during the last four
teen years as an active member of the
County Committee, and six. years as an
officer of the organization, presents logi-
cal reason for preferment of this charac-
ter.
Never having been honored with any
nomination for an elective office have
considered the matter very carefully be-
fore reaching decision, and do not
wish now to present the subject in the
nature of any claim to your prefermenlt
based only upon past service and party
loyalty; but it does Seem to men that
no man should be ostracised or debarred
from parity preferment BECAUSE of
prominent participation in aggressive
legitimate work fighting the battles of his
izatfon, or for the display of whatever of
zeal and ability he may exert on behalf
OF his party organization and its candi-
oates.
Does it not seem to you that such q
course, if persisted in, ana become
known, would tend to discourage those
who may have ambition politically from
endeavoring by personal and conscientious
cause they espouse.
Having concluded 10 make the, effort
to secure this nomination and election. /
place the matter in the hands of nv
friends and ask your support at the COM
ipg primaries on September 80, when del
egates will be elected to THE. County Con-
ven'tion
It is not my intention or purpose to
take advantage or seek to obtain a per-
sonal preference, by reason of official
competition with the County Committee
I have made no pledges or deals but will
pledge my best effort IN behalf of the
whole ticket, and if elected TO the office
will exert in the discharge OF its duties
whatever of zeal and ability may pos
sess consistent and conscientious SER
vice
Believing that upon due reflection You
may consider my request to sKbe reason-
able, and worthy your favorable consid-
