Joseph Taylor, George Blair, John Graham, THE EVE OF BATTLE, The Outlook for the Election To-Day— All Quiet Along the Line. Last night the local political organizations had their hands full of work. In the contested dis- tricts, especially in the Nineteenth, where there is a little difficulty between the regular democratic pominee and an irregular candidate, the chances were declared to be m favor of the irregular. “Straight Tammany cr no rations!’ ‘A vote for Deering 18a vote for Morgan!” are among the election cries in the district. The city last night was not so full of local demon- strations as it under Similar circumstances usually is, The prevailing impression at the democratic headquarters was that the eity would be carried for Tilden by 45,000 majority and that Hayes would be elected Register by 8,000 to 10,000 majority. The difficulties among the democrats in the Sixteenth | and Eighteenth districts were not settled last night as it was génerally expected they would be, but this fact appears to have made the “regulars” all the more determined to leave no stone unturned in order to beat their opponents, ‘The election of Wickham is now conceded upon all sides, and the republican leaders last night seemed to have given ‘p all hope of Wales’ success. However, they said they would make a good fight anyhow, and the Republican Executive Commit- tee gave it out that the rumor that they were parties to any arrangement looking toward the selling of the Legislature at the expense of the election of the repubiican candidate for Governor was untrue. There was not so much enthusiasm on either side as might have been expected on the EVE OF THE SLECTION. There were no bands ot music, In fact, there were no especial demonstrations anywhere. The general opinion seemed to be that the democrats were sure to win, and there ‘Was nothing more to be said about it. I* war an- nounced that those who opposed. tad regalar | detmoe future operations of the organization. This Wiil have the effect, itis said, of making some of the bolters return to the fold to-day. In all the districts the workers were as busy a3 bees, and althoagh the excitement ran high in the Sixteenth and one or two other of the dis- tricts where the democratic “repels” have been making strong demonstrations all along the line for weeks past, there was no disorder or fighting of a serious character, and the indications all Pointed to a quiet and orderly election to-day. POLITICAL HEADQUARTERS, Yesterday’s Work at Central Commit- tee Rooms—The Latest Preparations for To-Day’s Fight. The central headquarters of the respective Political parties during the day and last night were somewhat scantily attended by the leading, or even the minor, politicians, Work and not talk was manifestly the order of the day, and every available worker was on duty at his re- spective Assembly district preparing ballots and distributing them to the representatives of the respective sub-divisions for delivery to voters to- day. REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, At the Fifth Avenue Hotel the Republican Cen- tral Committee rooms were frequented by many of the leading republicans during the aay and even- ing. At about nine o'clock at night there was quite a distinguished company of republicans, and im the inner committee room were ex-Governor Morgan, Thurlow Weed, Thomas Murphy, Thomas Acton and Colonel De Kay, secretary of Governor Dix, and Police Commissioner Disbecker. These distinguished gentlemen were occupying the quiet hours of the night in political reminiscences and to-day. It seenfed to be conceded that Wales could not be elected and that Wickham wouid be. Tuere was an unwillingness to give up General Dix, and there was considerable hopetulness that Dix's majority of 65,000 in 1872 would only be reduced to about 10,000, The replies irom the State Committee received .py ex-Governor Mor- wan indicated a result of this character. There was not the slightest doubt manifested that Gen- eral Jones would be the next Register. It was mentioned that the Roman Catholic vote would be largely in his favor, im consequence of Sister Irene having written to the paro- chial clergy of the city to use their infu- ence in nis interest. Aldermen Vance and Billings were at the committee room and seemed hopeful of re-election as Aidermen-at-large, They Were amusing one another witn narratives of the visits at their offices and at their houses of “strik- ers,” and were comparing notes as to how much each had been victimized. Mr. Kuhne, it was re- ported, was making strenuous efforts, by the de- very of circulars, ballots and posters, to insure his election, and it seemed irom the best authen- ticated reports that his success was possible. REPUBLICAN HALL, At this hall, which ts the agar rg of the County Republican Committee, there was but (0 excite attention. There were but few local men present, and the ante-roome of the were occupied by the Tepreeentstives of the ee naeninced igen it sy talnine ed employed delivering sma! ning repub- Noun Satlots, and Cnergetic clerks were taking down in small memorandum books the names oi the gentiemen to whom they intrusted these precious packages of ballots, DEMOCRATIC ‘rhere was the usual ti that ts always found the day pefore election at many Hall. Frou: tnent among these were John Morrissey, Jo! Kelly, Colonel Fellows, Mr. Wickham, Mr. tia 2, County Clerk Walsh, Tom Dunlap, ex-Justive Coulter, Judge Quinn, Aldermen Flanagan, Reilly and Clancy. The committees of each Assembly dis- trict met during the day to give the last finish- ing touch to their arrangements for the giving out of ballots and for the Watching of e polis, Toward night Tamman every man was expected to be at work in his re- jective district, it 16 due to Tammany to sa: i their workers went to their duties wit!

TRYING HALL. The independent demucrats were very active pear at their headquarters at Irving Hall. In the evening all was quiet there in consequence of this organization having, like its opponents, sent tts workers to their respective Assembly dis- tricts, Tuere was considerable confidence ex- resged in the certainty of Mr. Ottendorier’s elec- on for Mayor, based upon the fact that the Ger- man vote, with the exception of the Roman Catholic part of tt, wound all be in bia tavor, An incident was related in the committee room which seemed to strengthen this supposition, It was said that during the day a vote for Mayor had been taken at Steinway’s pianoforte factory. There are 700 votes there, and on the count It was found that all but five were for Ottendorter. THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BALLOTS, The Republican General Committee have issued instructions for the provision of bailots for votin Upon the constitutional amendments which wi be found to-day at every booth throughout the State and city where republican tickets are dis- triouted, In addition to this prepuratuon several Merchants have personally attended to securing an abundance of ballots in their own immediat districta, » THE GERMAN OBGABIZATIONS, Final Preparati for the Contest Against Tammany To-Day. The presidents, officers and representatives of the German vocal and musical societies, the rifle associations and other German civic organizations held another meeting at the Germania Assembly Rooms yesterday to complete the arrangements for an active campaign in behalf of the Ottendorfer and Jones anti-Tammany county ticket to-day. Peter Ohmeis, of the Beethoven Maennerchor, pre- sided, and several committees, to arrange the de- talls, the distribution of tickets, &c., were formed. An executive commitvee was formed, composed of the representatives o: the Arion, Liederkranz, the Fifth regiment and eighteen of the leading German organizations, and a stirring appeal has been addressed vo the memoers of the numero! Vocal and musical societies, the benevolent societies, lodges and rifle organizations, calling on them to concentrate thetr vote on the Otten dorfer Anti-Temmany county ticket. Ten thousand tickets were received from the German Citizens’ Central Oampaign Organization for distribution among the various German organizations, and all concerned in the movement agpeared to be con- fident of the success of the Gérman Anti-Tammany movement at the polls to-day. The numerous German clubs and organizations, Which, during the campaign, have been active in the anti-Tammany movement, were busy enter. day in making the final arrangements for the contest to-day, and it is said that many of the German republicans will vote for Ottendorier while remaining faithful to the rest of the repub- lican ticket. In order to accommodate the re- pudlican voters on this point, it ts said large quantities of republican tickets, with Ottendorier'’s name inserted for Mayor, in place of Wales, have been printed and distrivuted, INDUSTRIAL POLITICAL PARTY. Ratification Meeting tn Square Last Night. Last evening between 200 and 300 workingmen met In Tompkins square to ratify the nominations of the Industrial Political party. Speeches were made by Mr. John Swinton (candidate for Mayor), Dr. Lilienthal, President of the Freethinkers’ So- ciety; Leander Thompson, P. J. McGuire, J. R. Woolfand others, who all dwelt on the necessity of workingmen’s political organizations, On motion o! Mr. BLArE the following resolutions were unanimously adopted, after which the prin- cipal leaders of the party adjourned to their bead. quarters, at 386 Broome street, to prepare the bal- lots for to-day’s voting :— RESOLUTIONS.

Kesolved, That unemployed people, of both sexes, should not be lett to starvation while the granaries aré filled with tood; that they should not be clubbed or shot into silence when they ‘make comp!aint, and that the authorities are under responstvility to them, Reselved, That they as weil as other people should be | guaranteed the right of tree speech and tree meetings in puvlic squares, and that we utterly condemn the cruel and atrocious action of the official frauds who sup- | pressed tree speech In Tompkins square last January.

Resolved, That we must struggle tor the rights of | manhood, or we will be subjected to the condition ot slavery. The following curious circular was issued yester- day by the industrial party:— Worxingmxn—Will you elect your candidates or will you vote tor despots, who will outrage the working peo ple, suppress the riht of tree meeting and free speech during the coming winter? It you vote for Tammany or republicans or independents you yote for your oppres- | sors, who will smash your heads if you ask for work or bread. itis your duty to elect men for oftice who have a heart for the suffering masses, who will not allow men to starve that are able and willing to work, and such men are— For Mayor—Jobhn Swinton, journalist. For Register—Conrad Kuhn, cigar maker. For Aldermen at Large—Wia, A. A. Uarsey, bricklayer; George Blair, packing-box maker; Joseph Taylor, stalr builder; Patrick Spelman, plasterer, Mr. Swinton says that he has accepted the nom- ination not with the remotest idea of being eiected, but because he elt that the workingmen would secure no conscientious representative, and it was desirable to afford them an opportunit; express themselves as a body against the indliter- ence to their interests which is usually mantfested by politicians, He was urged by representatives os twenty or thirty societies to accept the nomina- jon, | POOL SELLING. The speculation yesterday afternoon at the Astor House was not very extensive, asall the moneyed men appeared to be a little shy, as if they thought there might be some new development within the next twenty-four hours that would effect the market. Underwood was on hand, and with nis usual suave and dulcet tones invited the ven- turesome to put up their dollars; but the labor was painful, as, alter thirty minutes’ hard labor, the Doctor had to take a brandy punch in order to keep his voice. Finally a bidder was heard, and alter some little difficulty the Doctor succeeded in booking a bet of $300 even on Tilden’s gaining 10,000 majority. This appeared to give an impetus to business, and presently two gentlemen, through in speculations as to the results of the election | HS SEMA PRIION 0) Ae eee uper Saree). tO. Dee up to the tune of $100 to $70 on Hayes against occasions, and then a little more money was in- vested on Tilden carrying the State by 10,000 ma- jority. A trife was also invested at evens be- tween Hayes and Jones, giving the former 7,000 majority. The larger portion of the investments appeared to be confined to the Gubernatorial can- Gidates, and on that issue several thousands were put up on Tilden carryivg the State by 10,000 ma- Jority, In the evening the tide of speculation arifted up town, and, calling first at Underwood's, business was found brisk. The Doctor was in good humor, and when he could not sell @ pool to suit a purchaser he let him off with a slice of his wit. On one occasion a nice looking young man, with black mutton chop whiskers, bid $60 for Jones, and notwithstanding all the efforts ne could only get $44 for Hayes. At last the Doctor came out:—“‘Only $44 for Jimmy Hayes, the Supervisor that was, Morrissey’s right power, with Kelly for left!” the argument was conclu sive, and the pool was sold, Jones $60 and Hayes $46. The bidding during the was hot very brisk, as every’ holding off for bigger prices, After a slight pause a gen- tleman offered to bet on the Third Congressional district, and his offer of $25 on Mead elicited $21 trom Hogan's friends, Between Hewitt and O’Brien, in the Seveftth, the former was the favor- ite at about two toone.

Very tr Ge VAN NORT. THE ELECTIONS IN BROOKLYN, The elections in Brooklyn aré attended this year with more than usual interest, ane excitement and partisansbip ron very high. The democrats were betting last evening on a majority of 7,000 for Samuel J. Tilden in Kings county, and it must be acknowledged that such ets found plenty of takers, There are four tickets in the flela—t e, the democratic, republican, national and temper- ance, The republicans rely upon the nationals | as an auxiliary of great strength in electing a | share of their nominees on the county ticket. The regular democrats claim that the republicans | are leaning on arotten stick and thai tne ballots of | the nationals will be exceedingly scarce at the polls to-day. The polls will open at thirty-two minutes past six o’ciock A. M. and close at fifty-seven minutes past four o’clock P, M. ‘here are 149 election districts in Brooklyn. ‘The total registra- tion of voters is 70,700, About one hundred casea of illegal registry have been reported to United States Marshal Harlow, and that official bas the cases now under investigation prior to effecting their arrest, STATE POLITICS. The Republic Aroused to Astonish=- ing Enthausiasm—A General Canvass of the State—Probable Democratic Gains in Congress and the Assembly. Atpany, N. Y., Nov. 3, 1874. | Only within the past few days have the repub- | cans become properly aroused to the perils of their party in the election to-morrow. The demo- crats have had for several weeks the start, and | the thoroughness of the canvass on the demo- | cratic side is evident everywhere from here to Buffalo, The apathy I noticed among repub- cans in twenty different places less than one week ago has given way to absolute enthusiasm. Advices received this evening from various parts | of the State—west, northwest and south—seem to convince many that to-morrow’s sun will set on A REPUBLICAN VICTORY, In Buffalo Tilden ts ahead in the pools; in Rochester Dix; in Syracuse Dix; in Elmira Dix; in Troy Tilden; tn Utica Dix, and in Albany Til- den, The democrats are wild over the majorities they hope to have. Smith, of the 4rgus, talks con- fidently of 40,000, Ten Eyck, of the Journal, ex- pects none of the old time republican majorities, but he is sure Dix wiil win by not leas than 10,000. Roverts, of the Utica Herald, is not as sanguine as other republican editors. He believes Dix ought | the upshot of acanvass like this. Bailey, of the Utica Observer, is wild with delight over the an- ticipated big victory for the democracy. On the whole there is @ vast deal of ‘bluff’ this evening onthe part or the democrats. It worked well a week ago, but all accounts indicate A SUDDEN AND STARTLING VIGOR im the republican ranks within the past three days. If to-morrow be fine a [ar larger republican vote will be polled than most people expect. Agreat change bas come over the prohibition- If their candidate obtains three thousand in place of a hundred thousand votes he will be doing well, They are less afraid of Dix than of Tilden; of | democrati¢ than of a republican Legislature. At | the eleventh hour they have resolved to choose the lesser of two evils and vote for Dix, Ninety thousand out of A HUNDRED THOUSAND TEMPERANCE VOTES suddenly turned about and thrown for Dix will up- set a fond democratic calculation, In regard to the Legislature the best informed republicans are | agreed that a reduction on the majority of last year in the Assembly is inevitable. From all Ican gather at this moment the Assembly is likely to be democratic by from three tofour majority. I have satisfed myself that seven Assemblymen will be lost to the republicans and credited to the democratic strength of last year, which was fifty- four against seventy-four republicans. To-night I learn that five other districts are in doubt— one m Chenango, two in Oneida, one in Chemung and one in Montgomery, and all expected to re- turn democratic members. This would make a loss of twelve to the republican side and give the democrats a majority of four in the Assembly. In this case the vote on joint ballot in the ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATOR would prove a tie, and then the Lieutenant Gov- ernor might be of interest. In this county the odas are on the republican candidate (Adams), as there | are two democrats in the fleld (Quinn and Perry). Albany to-night 1s dreadfully excited over the struggle. The republicans fan the flerce flames caging between the hostile democratic camps and hope to see their champion walk in between them, There is little talk of the majority on the Governor- ship among the republicans, but everywhere a | quiet conviction that, however small the majority, it will be on their side. No doubt prevails of the expenditure of considerable money on both sides in the canvass. The rival journals here are tremendously bitter this evening, Should the democrats win it wi!l pe a loss to the Journal of $100,000 and a corresponding gain to the Argus. THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES. In regard to Congressmen, Mr. Roberts, repub- lican, of Utica, @ good authority, concedes a loss of four Congressional districts in the State, which would give the democrats on their present strength @ representation of twelve members in Washington. No man to-night, either democrat or republican, feeis entirely confident of to-morrow’s issue, Old poltticians here say 1t 18 nearer to a lottery than any election which has taken place for years. ESSEX OOUNTY (N. J.) POLITIOS. “The situation” in Essex county, New Jersey, is exceedingly interesting. There are nine As- semblymen to be elected, a Congressman, a Sheriff, a Register, a Surrogate, three Coroners and a Governor. Nothing is talked of but “the situation” and beyond a question it Is as lively as interesting, for it is conceded that an immense deal of scratching will be done, to say nothing of “trading” and other electionecring processes. Both parties, on all points, are represented by their very best men, each having taken special pains to put their best foot foremost, so thas if any et county will be sattislactorily whoever may win, On Governor both parties have unéxceptionably good men; so on the Register; 80 on the Surrogate; so oa the Sherif; so on the Coroners, and go on the Gon: gtessional Dominations, Two years the county went overwhei Fepub! giving sey oer ped is Ward over year, however, it iected cratic Sherif, the sins of the Newark rig baring meanwhile been fully ex; .

In this they will be aided by many republicans who are disgasted with the infamous charter that handed over Jersey City to @ ring of thieves. The repeal of this charter is indispensable if that piun- dered city is to escape bankruptcy. The democrats will havea majority of about 2,500 in the county of Hudson.

The following constitutional amendments are to be voted upon at the election on Tuesday :— First—The time of the election of county officers te changed from Movember to May, thereby having bug one election during the year, white the tern of office of gounty officers is fixed four years instead of three. ‘This saves the expense of the November election. ‘Second—Commissioners of the revenue are to be elected in the counties, while the offices of Superintend- ent of the Poor and County Surveyor are to be filled by Appointment in such manner as the Legislature may rovide. | These two offices are now tilled by election by th ie people, '4—No county shall have more than one Superin- tendent of Public Schools, ho matter whut may be ite popu jation, urth—The division of counties into townships is done away with. and cach county in the State is to be divided: into’ magisterial districts, each of whict shail elect & Supervisor, Constable.

Report of General Benet, Chief of the Ordmance Department, to the Secre- tary of War—An Accumulation of Im- Proved Weapons. and Ammunition Recommended in Case of War—More Liberal Appropriations Asked. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1874, The fiscal resources and disbursements of the Ordnance Department during the fiscal year end- ing 30th June last were $5,714,363. General Benét, the chief, says, in his annual report, just sub- mitted tothe Secretary of War:—“The adoption of the Springfield breech-loading syatem by a board of distinguished ofMfcers, convened under Congressional enactment, and its subsequent es- tablishment by law as the only system to be used im the manufacture of arms by the Ordnance De- partment enables us to continue the manufacture upon & secure basis and to provide an arm with no superior, that will hardly be superseded by any more perfect invention tor many years to come ‘The production of rifles and carbines upon the adopted pian nas been pushed forward at the National Armory with energy ana success, and the new arms issued to the troops will no doubt give great satisfaction. Their issue has been greatly retarded by the lack of ammunition, the small appropriation not supplying the number of | cartridges per man deemed indispensable by the Commanding General of the department. “The appropriation Of $100,000 made by Congress at ite last session for the manulacture of arms has. had to be supplemented from the permanent ap- propriation jor ‘arming and equipping the milt- » keep the cost of arms within proper limits and enavie the de- partment to supply the wants of the army and militia, Not less thau nal a miilion dollars should be anuually expended at the national armory, not only a8 & measure of economy in producing the best arm for the least money, but, 1u the interest of the country, to make a gradual but sure accu- mulation of the best weapons as a reserve In case of war, In again urging this important matter upon the attention of Congress | am actuated solely by @ sense of public duty an arnest desire to have the nation brought 0 ® keen realization of the necessities of the case and the gravity of the subject, and do not hesitate vo express my decided conviction thata liberal, even an extravagant expenditure |} at present, will prove to be the greatest economy in the juture. Every nation that aspires to the would have visited the polls and cast his ballot for the nominee of his party. So exciting did the | candidates for Congressional honors came to blows, and two distinguished gentlemen threw | glasses ateach other. In the latter contest a re- | Publican representative in Congress was very severely handled and injured by his political oppo- nents, and in another instance {t was hard to say what might have been the result had not friends interfered, between an ex-Governorof Colorado and a gallant ex-Confederate General. There were a good many political rows, with the chances from Virginia now stands four democrats and fl Tepublicans. That these numbers will be reversed 1 am certain, and the indications are that the Old Dominion will send seven democrats out of her nine Representatives to swell the ranks in the next House. There is only time for a brief glance at each of the districts and their respective candi- dates, and I will venture a prediction in each case | jounded upon informaiton furnished by the most experienced political prophets in the State. FIRST DISTRICT. The contest was recently made lively in this district by the glass compliments exchanged be- tween the candidates, Hon. J. B. Sener, republi- can, and B, B. Douglass, democrat. The district was originally gerrymandered by the conservative Legislature to return a representative of that | party. They were successtul once in the elec- tion of Judge Critcher, but in the campaign of 1872 the Greeley misiortune turned the tables, and Sener, the present member, was elected. per vote 1g close, but the whites are largely in | e ascendancy. In the lower counties, however, | a strong republican sentiment prevails, which is | | | most favorable to the candidate of that ia Mr. Douglass, however, 1s personally one of the most popular men ot. the State, and he has made a splendid can lyoud ey ase the district ts close, With the chances very much in favor of the election of B, B. Douglass, democrat. SEOOND DISTRICT, The only active and really grand canvass made | in the State was in this district where there were three candidates for popular favor—Mr, John | Goode, democrat; Hon. James H. Platt. repub- | lican and Robert Norton (colored), indepenaent republican. As the readers of the HERALD are aware, Mr, Piatt is the present Representative from tue district, which is republican about 3,000 majority. He command: the patronage in the district, which includ ye Gosport Navy Yard, the Norfolk Custom House and all the internai Tevenue officials, Norton, his colored opponent, 1s @ persistent candidate for Congress, this being the third time he has been in the fleld against Mr. Platt. Mr. Goode will get the full white vote, excepting, of course, the employés at the Navy Yard, which ’ gives Platt (1,200 to start with, Norton will carry a | respectable colored vote in York county, his home, but outside of that he will get none, and, to sum up, Piatt will be returned by ot ig Te- ducea majorly se aa veel yo nd oode will heavily increase the dem mas Disratone In this, the metropolitan district, the nominees gre ex-Governor Giibert C.

With us the want ot a large standing army can only be compensated by keep- | ing on hand, ready tor any emergency, a complete supply of every description of war material. Arms and ammunition are of the first importance when an army is to be improvised, aud the country should place its dependence at such a juncture mainly on the reserve supplies stored in its arsenals. Certainty not less than nalfa million of the best arms sould he manufactured aa rapidly as the monetary condition of the country will permit. Every year’s delay 1s traught with danger, and the experience of the past is the parece safest guide in making preparation for he future. “An increase in the annual appropriation for arming and equipping the whole body of Militia is again brought to the attention of Con- ee with a hope of some legislation thereon. ‘ot only snould the appropriation be largely in- | creased to meet the Increased wants of our con- stantly increasing population, but some legis- lative action should be taken to relieve many of the States and Territories trom charges ior | arms issued to them during the rebellion, and which in fairness should not have been so charged. This subject has been so often relerred to in pre- | Vious reports and so largely dwelt upon thata More extended reference to it at this time is deemed unnecessary.” General Benét says a Board composed of Majors Crispin, Treadwell and Baylor, of the Ordnance Department, was authorized, and after several , months of patient and careiul investigation has made its report. The Board strongly recommends the retention of the Springfleld armory and the Frankiort arsenal, and the establishment of a grand arsenal in the vicinity of New York tor man- ring purposes ; retaining also the Indianapo- jenal, Indiana; Kennebec arsenal, Maine; Monroe arsenal, Virginia, and the Augusta ag places lor storage and repair, the sale of the Alleghany, Co- lumpbnas, Detroit, Pikesville, Watervliet, Watertown and Washington arsenals, the sales to be made as rapidly as circumstances way permit, the proceeds to be devoted to the purchase of site and the erection of @ builaing for @ grand arsenal. He 8a; ‘I heartily concur in these recommenda- tons and mvoke favorable consideration on the part of the Secretary of War and of Congress. ‘nis seemingly large reduction by sale will, when accomplished, leave thirteen arsenals and the armory, @ Dumber amply sufficient, when liber- aily sustained, to meet ail the demands of the na- uol nd all this can be effected irom the sales of arsenals and without the expenditure of a single dollar ont of the national treasury.’ The estab- lsanment of a powder depot and an experimental ground for heavy cannon, ts also discussed by the Board ana its recommendations approved. GENERAL SHALER AOOEPTS. Genera: Alexander Shaler yesterday acceptea the tender by the Fire Commissioner and Citi- zens’ Association, of Chicago, of the position of Consulting Engineer to the Fire Department, and will at once undertake the task of reorganizing the force and improving the resources and meth- ods for extinguishing fires in that city.
