Mr.. McClelIan's speech contained his customary
attacks on Commissioner Greene and his old cry
about craftsmanship. He blamed the Street Cleaning
Department for many things. He said in part:
The many sincere men who voted for Mr.. Low in

RAP COCHRAN AND MURPHY.
Hinrichs, Cutting and Trautmann Speak at
Teutonia Hall

The fusion speakers who addressed the meeting
last night at Teutonia Hall, Sixteenth-st. and
Third-ave.. were vociferously appauded when they
made point against Tammany Hall praised the
present administration. w. Bourke Cochran came
in for his share OF attention at the speakers hands
for some of the statements he made the night
before at Carnegie Hail. The principal speakers
were Frederic w Hinrichs and r. Fulton Cutting
the first being introduced our next Controller,
and the other as ''our candidate for Alderman
Mr.. Hinrichs spoke in part as follows:
This is a great battle. and one of the greatest
the city has ever known. The fusion forces are
on the one hand and Tammany Hall on the otner
The first is made up OF a body or men resardless s
of creed, of color antecedents with one great
purpose in view, which Is proper administration
Of municipal affairs. Tammany Hal-you know
what it has been and you know what IL Mi pe-iI
you put It in power it will restore conditions as
they Were. MIR. Murphy is but the disciple or
Richard Croker, who found the atmosphere in TINS
city too warm, and so took up his residence IN

barbarism, and IL is presided over by potentate
as absolute as the Car OF Russia

IF. the next speaker. There is no one knows
how TO make better use Of the intervening time
before election" he said, than that trinity in
Tammany Hall. composed of Murphy, Sullivan and
MeCarren They know better than we how to use
that time. They know tricks that are vain winch
we will never know" He concluded by asking
support for the entire fusion ticket.
Mr.. Cutting spoke, in part, as follows:
came down here to work for the success of the
whole fusion ticket. Tammany Hall is not po-
plunderers. which has been rebbing for over
half century. Plumber, plumber. plumber, from be

have fallen slightly with II.
Fire Commissioner Sturgis, in commenting on
Mr. Cockrans statement that insurance rates
had gone up. said:
The annual report Of the New-York Board OF
Fire Underwriters. just published. shows that the
percentage Of loss on buildings and contents during
1862 was 59i per cent. lower percentage than any
year in the history of that organization. The test
OF efficiency of a fire department is its ability to
extinguish .ires quickly and with the least posi-
be damage and it, as Cochran says, insurance
rates have gone up, 81 is surely owing to the
ineficiency Of the Fire Department under the pres
administration
Commissioner Sturgs also said that, in a con-

Many years ago the American war
ship Delaware came near laundering
off the coast of Sardinia while luffing
through heavy squall during a morn
ing watch. The unauthorized letting
go of the fore sheet" alone saved the
ship from going down with HOO
souls on board. The first lieutenant,
afterward Commodore Thomas w.

ceived from the war department. Most
OF the factory capacity is left intact,
but there is an immense gap opened
in the stores on hand by the work of
the flames. The new small arms plant,
equipped at a cost of several millions
Oh dollars and about ready to turn out
the new model of rifles, escaped the
flames.
Maj. s. T.. Blunt, commandant at the
arsenal, estimated the loss resulting
from the fire at $1,765,O0O and states
that equipment sufficient to supply the
army for three years was destroyed.
The origin OF the fire is a mystery,
as there was no fire In the shop. no
forge from which spark might have
fallen, while the electric current had
been turned off over three hours be-
fore the first alarm of fire. In accord.
ance with the usual custom, also, the
entire building was gone over by the
Waterman and everything was seen to
be in order before the doors were
locked for the day.
The building burned was located
apart south OF the shop, a three-story
structure, covering about an acre OF
ground.
Reports Of casualties when the
walls of the building fell precipitated
a grand rush to the arsenal from the
three cities and though the gates were
closed the crowd rushed across the
railroad and street car bridges or
scaled the railroad track from Fort
Armstrong avenue and ran across lots
to the scene OF the fire.
Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance at
Washington, received a telegraphic re.
port from Maj. s, f. Blunt, ordnance
department, confirming the press re-
port Of the serious fire at the Rock
Island arsenal Wednesday night and
placing the loss at s1,765.000. The re-
port stated that the fire was confined
to storehouse A, containing a guam.
tity of equipments and small arms
ammunition, but no machinery.
Gen. Crozier regrets the disaster.
but is grateful that none Of the ma
chinery Of the valuable manufacturing
plant at Rock Island was damaged.
