The property was partially in- sured. The house was saved by hard work.
 The republicans will meet in caucus in town hall and nominate borough officers. There have been several names mentioned for the various offices any of which would reflect credit upon the judgment of the attendants at the caucus should they be selected.

It is no more than fair to state that II. F. Hall was not the member of the legal fraternity that got it in the neck Monday evening.
