 GENERAL NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST FROM

 Nov. 1.-The fire department will meet this evening at the Hubbard hose house to nominate for the offices of chief engineer and first and second assistants. Chief David Ross has declined on account of i'll health to accept renomination, and Second Assistant J. M. James desires to step down and out. The uptown companies are said to favor Foreman David McCune of the Hubbard hose for chief, while the Wallace boys are credited as being in favor of George A. Smith, now first assistant en- gipeer.
