It will be remembered that trial of 8 chemical en- zine was made on large open lot in the borough a couple of weeks ago, when wood en structure filled with infsmmable materials was fired and the fire extinguished by means of the chemical engine. The borough on re- port made by the committee was of the opinion that two chemical engines would be required, so that when the chemicals in one were exhausted 8 second one would be ready for action. As the price of two chemical en zines would be $1 200, the borough decided against the project. Other plans for fire ap- paratus will be considered hereafter. The ticket elected gives good satisfaction all around. Good nominations were made gen- orally.
 great rejoicing among the members of the Young Mems Republican club tonight, and it is right that they should rejoice.
