The board of burgeases will hold meet
ing this evening, and it is probable that
Bartholomew will be on hand and qualify
as burgess, which will insure a quorum,

1t Is probable that the matter
of Dan O'Reilly's reinstatement as
night patrolman will be one of the inn
portant features of the evenings business.

Judge Bartholomew will take can only be
surmised, but 1t is intimsted that he will
vote with Burgesses Ksvansgh and Luby
against OReilly. Should this be the stu
alton it will result in tie vote and Ward
en- Newton will have to dissolve
the tie by his vote, and 1t
Ia safe to say that he will do SO should oo-
casion require and will decide the ques-
ton according to his best judgment of
what IL for the interests of the borough
and will do SO without fear of any crit-
cism that may como hereafter from the
| friends of the losing candidate for the
position, which ever one that chances to
| be. There is not much doubt but what
the veIed question will be disposed of eff
| fectually by the board before 1t adjourns
| this evening.
