 Tho Cold Snap-General News
 From All Parts of the Borough.
 There is much interest manifest as to the result of the deliberations of the board of burgesses this evening on the appoint ment of the chief and assistants of the fire department. The friends of the different companies are confident that whatever &C., tion is taken by the board that the mem bers of the department will accept the same with good grace and continue to do their duty as firemen whenever the occa- sion requires, and that the rumors that have been circulated. that one or more of the companies threaten disbandnent if 6 certain condition of affairs should be brought about, are without foundation. Whatever the result of this evenings ac- tion of the board it is safe to say that it will be done for what is thought to be for the best interests of the fire department.
