 News.
 A citizens caucus is called for this even- ing in the board of trade rooms. There seems to be a general desire that the pres ent board of burgesses be continued in office another year, as the record for the past year has been successful one from financial as well as business point of view. Warden w. H. Newton has fulfilled his duties in au acceptable manner without fear or favor, and together with the board of burgesses has conducted the affairs of the borough in a business like aud economical manner. It is probable that the old ticket will be renominated without opposition, with the exception of borough clerk, as G. T. Jones, the present incumbent, announces himself as not a candidate. The name of Fraray Hale is favorably mentioned for the position. Mir. Hale served for eix or more terms as borough clerk, and filled the position with credit to himself and the borough.
 The democrats have given up the idea of holding caucus in town hau as was mated, and it is probable that only one regular ticket will be in the field on Saturday.
