The Had Weather Yesterday-The An nexalion Pro ODlem-Personal Mention -GeneraI Notes of Interest. The stormy weather yesterday resulted in 6 limited attendance at the church services The wardens of the borough will meet at
 the engine house to transact regular business
 It is quite probable that petition will be
 brought up, signed by number of promi- nent residents of the borough, asking that the question of consolidation be brought up in such a manner that it can be settled by the people. The premature publishing of the scheme may, however, knock the thing in the head and it is possible that the matter will not be brought up until future meeting. The residents of the borough are about evenly divided on the question on annexa- tion. Those who favor it reason that as the borough is under the city's control in tho matter of schools, and as the police expense is ss great as it would be if the borough were part of the city it will be just well to go the whole figure and come into the city and have the benefit of the city's fire depart ment. Those who favor the project think that now the city is in the hands of the Re- publicans, and as the Fourteenth ward is 8 Republican stronghold, now is the proper time to make application to come in. Those who are not in favor of the plan think there is no necessity for haste in the matter as the city would be glad to admit the borough at any time. They also agree that the present
 fire department is good enough and that there is no good reason why the tax list should be increased.

 down the harbor to-day on account of the
 big sea that will be raging outside unless the wind changes before morning.
 Whist parties are all the rage on the east side just now.
 Miss Laura Deming has returned to Brad- ford, Mass, and Misses Gertis Dudley and Jennie Travers have returned to Holyoke, to school.
