HOff ffE CELEBRATED THE DAT

plause and ringing cheers greeted the president as he arose. He spoke as folI, lows: tiV "Mr. President and Fellow Citizens, Ladles and

Gentlemen: It not my purpose to make an address to-day. I did not know until this morning t' tliut tbe programme would contain any mention of my name at all but It would be altogether uncivil If I did not, this opportunity having been offered me, express my thanks to tbose of you who are gathered with me this morning, and to htm upon whose hospitable invitation you have gathered for the friendly cordial greeting which you have given me, not only here to-day, but In my progress hither yesterday. [Cries of "Good."J

Your patriotism has been put to the test by weather conditions as unfavorable as are possible in tbe summer season, butyou will not, I am sure, hold me responsible for the fact that the bureau having these conditions In charge Has failed to secure to you such weather as I would have desired r5 to-day. [Laughter.]

IMs very gratifying to know that your love of country, and your Interest in the perpetuation and right observance of this pleasant celebration at Woodstock has so perfectly triumphed over every Impediment. I am sure I look into the faces this morning of a body of citizens filled with honest pride in the story of their country and full of serious purpose to maintain those Institutions from all taint of corruption or decay. We stand to-day as a nation exempt from all fears of foreign hurt. It is not in the power of any people upon earth, much to harm us, except our own people. We do not say this in any spirit of boastfulness, but rather In one of thankfulness for that Divine providence which has given us a location and assignment among the nations of the earth that no people of great power touches us on any side. All the more exempt from thoughts of foreign assault ought our thoughts to turn to dangers which are Internal, and from which alone we can have serious harm. All the more should every thoughtful citizen consider how he may promote the public weal, how he may hold up our Institutions in honor among ourselves, securing and promoting both In state and national legislation those measures which have best promoted, not individuals, not the special, but the general good of all the people. [Applause.] 1 think snch meetings as these the old-fashioned Fourth of July celebrations, have In them a very Instructive and elevating power. I think you should be, as doubtless you are, very appreciative and grateful to him who has Inaugurated and with so much patience and Intelligence perpetuated these gatherings. I am glad to be here with you to-day. I am glad on this anniversary or that declaration which, afterwards established by arms, made us a nation, seriously as In the presence of Him whose guidance h^ been conspicuously present In all our affairs, to unite with you in fresh consecration to duty and to the true weal and happiness of all our people. I desire to thank these comrades of the great army of the Union for their escort and attendance hereto-day. Surely those who In peril on the red edge of battle have shown their love to the flag will not fall to be good citizens now that they have returned to those abodes of peace and civil pursuits. To all of you who have gathered from these Connecticut homes I desire to express my thanks for your kind and pleasant reception. It seems to be exceedingly appropriate that one like Mr. Bowen, born nere on these Connecticut hilltops, drawing In bis youth the V. vigor and strength which equipped him for the sharp contests of business life In our great city, should return hither, bringing back to the old ,* lillls and the old state a tribute out of all that wealth which he has accumulated, to beautify and

benefit a country to which he himself Is 'so largely Indebted. [Applause.] It Is .v.* pleasant to know that his example In this respect Is speeding among those sons of New •--v£ England who have gone, not only to the great cities and marts of trade upon our Atlantic seaboard, but even to the far West, that they are coming back and re-possessing themselves of old New

England 1101113s and giving their influence and their means topreserve and perpetuate here that high manhood type of simple but strong cltlzenT"i5 ship which was t*»e pride of these states In early -j, 1 days. N -jr., There are /ou several gentlemen with I J®:' transcripts In their pockets who are burning for %r-" it utterance flaughterj, and I will do again to-day *-x that which I have so much formed the habit of doing at Washington—give way to senatsrs and members of congress. [Hearty cheers and cries of "Good."] '*Cfe% As the president resumed his seat three cheers were given with a will.

Senator Hawley was next introduced, and spoke briefly in advocacy of a worthy ^5celebration of the Fourth of July. He said a nation which has no sacred days, no traditions, no bit- cloth to wave and ehout for is mighty poor, but a nation which has such days and traditions and ji£

.^f!

PRESIDENT MAKES SHORT ADDRESS.

:V-"•-"^Congressman Tom Reed, of Ifaine, */*$' v-' Speaks—'The Day Elsewhere :, .„. and Locally. ?R!^t' 5"' .Id WOODSTOCK, Conn., July 4.—The morning opened with a brightening sky «M^&$t'and the promise of clearing weather, so I Wp that farmers at a distance were well under way for Roseland park before the ij5 clouda thickened and changed the proe--W^pects for the day. Before ten o'clock it was drizzling. Nevertheless the crowd came, and was probably as large as last

JV-.» year. It was an enthusiastic and happy \lty-- crowd of genuine New Englanders that i^.^gcame to see the president and to hear rthe speech, and was not to be prevented s«4|C^by rain. During the disposition of -.1 "'the morning portion of the programme the rain did not seriously interfere with i/rci# -Jhe exercises. Congressman Russell at £-2ll o'clock rapped the company to order, gj*^and after pleasant wordB of welcome to vr the president and other visitors and to fit? iSthe people assembled, he nominated Gov^.SSjernor Bulkeley for chairman of the day. ^'~«*^»The governor in a brief speech accepted the honor and expressed his pleasure at officially welcoming and presenting to the audience the president. Hearty ap-

and does not improve them,

'B still worse, and deserves to die. It .^ ^JjLwas the boys who were taught to celebrate the Fourth of July that saved the union. Gen. Hawley's address was off-hand, but full of earnestness, and was •"•ii greatly -applauded. Associate Justice

Miller followed. He made a short and h- excellent address. Congressman Thomas B. Reed, of

Maine, was the next speaker introduced. ••, lis subject was "The Victory." Among his utterances were these: 3 It was no less a person, I believe, than the duke of Wellington, who remarked: "There Is only one thing more demoralizing than defeat, and that Is victory." I have not taken the trouble to verify the citation, because the truth is so solid .4' and sound that It needs no buttress or support

1

&

from even the most illustrious name. The Bepublican party won a great victory last November. But something more than no step backward Is demanded by the people of the United States. It behooves the people, therefore, to consider lust how much of power they have granted and just how much they have aright to require.

Touching briefly the tariff question, the subject of pensions and the matter of national education, Mr. Reed continued:

The question of the suppression of votes in the South mist be met, not rashly nor angrllly, but with a determination that in national elections and wherever else they have the right and power, these who by the constitution and law are entitled to help govern this country shall help govern It. [Applause. I It will be the province In due time of the Republican members of congress to au, not of their own sweet will, but after a full, free and Impartial conference with all the Republicans and representing them all, what measures shall be taken. Congress Is never strong except when the people are vigorously «ind vociferously behind It. if you want congress to do even what it wants to do itself, you had bettor help from the outside all you know how.

After warmly denouncing the methods of the filibusterem' tactics to defeat the public will, Mr. Reed added:

Unless some remedy can expect

7

nothing from tbe n«tt congress or mj MMir. But there Is a remedy In plain sight, and thatls public sentiment Let the peppto at large but onee understand the tacts about tbte pracuee of the public business, aod^he will be a bold man who attempts It In tbe future. If It were possible on tbe Fourth of July ln a coontry of 67^000,000, with wealth untold, to tie a little I should be so out tbe small attention congress gets. That Ught of dogs must be evenly made ana that lady about to shuts at a star onthe dramatic stage must be pressing her divorce suit with gresi languor If either cannot displace In any metropolitan Journal tbe regular proceedings of congress. I suppose, however, we must take the bitter with the sweet and If we are not photographed In out especially statesman-like attitudes, we escape display In some others.

When Mr. Reed had finished, Governor Bulkeley introduoed Secretaries Noble and Tracy. Neither was down on the programme, but each made few re* marks in a patriotic strain. Thus was ended the morning programme. The first speaker of the afternoon was President Gatee, of Rutger's college, whose subject was "Liberty Through Allegiance to LAW."

Will Carlton then read his poem, "Rhymes of the Day," and Senator Hisoock got through pert of his address on "American Political Pessimism," but the rain soon began to fall more heavily than ever, and Mr. Bowen announced that the reet of the programme, consisting of the Doxology and the benediction, would be carried out at hie residence.

The following is an utterance from the speech of Senator Hiscock, which assumes added interest because of Bishop Potter's centennial sermon last April:

When the pessimist, In this day, urges that our political leaders, executive and administrative officers. Judges, representatives, senators and the president, an not as upright in their lives, as unselfish in th«lr motives, or as patriotic and distinguished in their work as were, those who preceded him, history Justifies me In denouncing the claim as absolutely unwarranted and vicious.

Congressman McKinley, of Ohio, was announced to be present and. make an addrees, but was unable to come on account of the illness of his wife.

President Harrison will leave Putnam at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning for New London. From New London the entire party will go to Newport in tbe Despatch. Newport wiH be reached about 2 p. m. Friday. Preeident Harrison will leave Newport in the Despatch at 11 p. m. Friday, and will be in Jersey City in time to take the 5:40 p. m. train for Washington on Saturday.

IN THE NOBTHWEST.

The Embryo Estates Take Especially Well To tbe Anniversary.

ST. 'PAUL, Minn., July i.—To the average northweetern mind ordinary methods of celebrating the Fourth of July seemed to be entirely inadequate to give expression to the pent up rejoicings of the people who were bidding farewell to their territorial Bwaddlingolothee and stretching their limbs as full-fledged members of Uncle Sam's "Stately" family. The receipt of the news of .the passage and signing of the famous "Omnibus bill," while snow was still on the ground, was the signal for an impromptu Fourth of July celebration, but the people chose the great centennial Independence day for their greatest rejoicing, that day having been set by congress as the time for them to meet and perfect their state constitutions. The two Dakotas felt an added cause for rejoicing in the beginning of the end in the negotiations for the opening of the great Sioux reservation to settlement, and from every little settlement, with its metropolitan hopes and aspirations, as well as from the more pretentious cities of the former territories, come reports of great rejoioing over the realization of their labors of these six years. The men who began the fight have been able to see its successful completion, and from them were heard to-day, eloquent tributes to the greatness of the states they helped to build out of what was once thought to be a trackless and barren desert. Every little hamlet heard from its own orators and had its own celebration, but there was some sort of a new state celebration at one or two points in each of the budding states. Bismarck did the honors for North Dakota and welcomed the constitutional convention in royal style. National and state were assisted by local speakers and state organizations, while forty-two handsomely dressed little girls represented the forty-two stars that now shine so brightly in the national firmament. With banners, cannon, fireworks, sports and oratory, the rejoicing of the people found vent. Trains from all parts of the new state of North Dakota gave additions to the happy crowds.

In North Dakota ona celebration was looked after by all in South Dakota, the people were unable to condense their enthusiasm to that extent. At Huron, where the constitution of 1885 located the capital, a big celebration was held with the Hon. S. S. Cox as orator of the day. At Chamberlain the Sioux commissioners were mustered into service and with the further help of 200 Indiana from the lower Brule agency, the day was gloriously obeerved. Sioux Falls, however, was the central point of the South Dakota celebration, for it was there that the first state convention' for South Dakota was called to order at noon. The day was devoted to mercymaking as the best means of evincing the happiness of the people, while the orators of the day were selected from the eloquent and talented politicians who are in the city in attendance on the convention. Looking past the flags and bunting of the Dakotas there is to be found a continuation of the gala attire and joyful noises of statehood in the mountain state, for Montana was not to be outdone by her more easterly sisters in the jollification. Helena, the capitll, was the oentral point of the rejoicings where delegates to the constitutional convention held forth Eloquently on the benefits of statehood. Other points in Montana were patriotically follow in the wake of their, chief city The most north^westerly of the Btates, the fertile and beautiful Washington, felt there was much for it to rejoice over, and the iteople were unanimous in the celebration of the day. Every means was used by them to give utteradbe to their rejoicing. 'The businees rivalry of Taooma and Seattle gave way to the patriotic observance of the d«y, and all othe cities followed in their course. From 1 four of the new states is sent the grr /ting of the day to their older, but novmore patriotic sisters, and the forty-two stars shine brightly on Colombia's orown.

Sr. Loins, July 4.—A special to Republic from Oklahoma, T*

The Fourth of July festivities were brought to a sad ending at 3 p. m., by the fall of the grand stand with its living load of human beings. Nearly one thousand people had secured seats to witnsss the races, when without warning the atructure- fell, burying the mass of people beneath it. The oriee and groans of the injured soon filled the air, and it was feared that scores of lives had been loeL Almost as soon se the accident occurred* the militia, under command of Capt Stiles, were ordered to the scene and rendered S valuable servicee in preventing unnecessary confusion. Incredible as it may ssem, it was found when the victims had all been taken out, that none were dead, though several were perhaps fatally, and many badly injured. The only death thus far is that of the 18 months old child of Dr. J. A. Ryan, of Jimtown, I. T., which died a short time after the accident.

THE DAY IN TKBRE HAVTI.

A Very General Observance—The Exercises at die Fair Grounds.

The weather was "all that oould be deaired" for the day in Terre Haute. The people were all ready for the celebration and the anniversary received a recognition auch as never before given to it in Terre Haute. There may have been more demonstrative celebrations, but certainly none' in which all the people took auch pleasure as that of yssterday. There wae a complete suspension of business. The formal celebration at the. fair grounds was largely attended, both in the morning atter the parade, which was hardly up to expectation, and in the afternoon, when the public exercises were held. The Ancient Order of Hibernians had charge of the fair ground exeroisee, and though they paid the agricultural society around price for the use of the grounds, it is thought they will net a

rofit. At the afternoon exercisss Mayor the presiding offioer, spoke briefly, and was followed by the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Judge Carlton. Senator Voorheee then spoke for a half hour. He eulogized the Irish-American citizens, advocatsd'home rule for Ireland, eulogized Parnell and indulged in exultation over America's greatness..,

At Collett Park.

Collett parff was the scene of unusual merriment yeeterday. The young, the old and the middle aged repaired to the park in large numbers to enjoy the beautiful day in the beautiful park. Whist clubB, euchre clubs, neighborhood parties, Sunday school classes and parties and countless others passed the day in the pleasant park, the clubs,-classes and parties having with them baskets well filled with the moet appreciable delicacies of the season. Base ball and various other games were the especial amusements. Good music was furnished. A sufficient supply of fire works was on the grounds.

Police Coart Prisoners Released.

Mayor Danaldson allowed the prisoners arraigned in his court yesterday -morning to go their several ways as it wss the Fourth of July, the one hundred and thirteenth anniversary of the declaration of our independence. He also released from jail a few of the milder subjects, who had been convicted in his court. This kindness by the mayor may mark an epoch distinguished for good behavior in the lives of some of those who were releasecL

The Fireworks Display,

Last evening the streets in the central portion of the city were crowded with people to witness the fireworks display made at many points. The dealers in fireworks reported' that their sales were double thoee of a year ago, and this was apparent by what could be seen in all directions. The day trains brought in many persons from the surrounding towns, ana of these, a large number remained until the late night trains to see the fireworks. There were no accidents and an unusually small amount of drunkenness. A great crowd collected about the court house in the evening, expecting a display at that locality.

The Daughters of Rebekah Excursion.

The Daughters of Rehekah gave their annual excursion down the river yesterday. The Ida Lw was chartered and twer barges attached, one of which was for dancing. The excursion was largely attended, and the party spent the day veryjpleasantly on the river.

The afternoon game waa generally pronounced the beat game ever played in the park. Both clube played an errorlees game and both worked hard. The visitors beat the home club at batting, and did that by bunching their bite. The home olub stole four basis while the visitors stole bet two, and the home club made an equal number of baae hits. The honors were even with the pitchers, each atriking out five men. Hence in all of the main features of the game, the teams acquitted themaelvee with equal honors, except that Broderick knocked home run in the seobnd inning. Broderick waa the first man to the bat in that inning, and caught the ball on the and of the bat and sent along easy fly over the left field fence. The audience seemed to regret that the bases were not full, so that the hit could have brought in more than one run, but the score showa that the visitors needed but that one run, with the one they worked so hard to earn in the aixth inning. The game was intenssly interesting. The audience of 900 persons remained unusually quiet. The home olub secured their run in a peculiar manner. Stewart waa on third base and Hill was at the bat [and had missed the third strike. Tully dropped the ball and Hill considering it uselees to run, had started to the batmen's bench when his coachers called "run it out." He atarted for first baae and Tully threw the ball to first and Stewart improved the time by scoring. It wss unnecessary for Tully to have thrown tbe ball to first beoause Hill was out for not running before he started to first base. Had Tully taken the usual precaution to touch him with the ball, as Schneider never faile to do, in all probability the home olub would have been ehut out. The vieitora won the game by hard work, aa the soore Bhows:

The White-Rowe matter has taken a new'turn.

Mauck ia an excellent pitcher in his way, but every ball he delivered he alwaye drew the ball to hie right hip momentarily before delivering it, instead of holding it in front of him immediately before delivery, aa pitchers are required to do thia seadbn. The home club did not object beoause they did not want to delay the game ana did not want to afford the visitors an opportunity to kick. Thia fact ia not -Mated ae an excuae for the visitors winning the game, beoause Mauck might have pitoned a better game had he delivered the bella legally. It is stated aa being a feature of the game which tbe umpire ehould not allow, whether it may contribute to victory or defeat. BA special from Louiaville, Ky., says:

A more diaooneblate set of men than the players of the Louisville club cannot be found. They are in debt for everything from waahing to board billa. They had grown eo exasperated over the fines and other bad treatment that Mr. Davidsonwas afraid to make the last weetern trip with them, and after much trouble succeeded in getting "Buck" McKinney to assume charge. Thie waa after he had approached half a dozen othere and failed.. The players eay that McKinney was instructed to let them have not a cent of money, and to pay nothing but their railroad faree and hotel bills. They had to borrow money in St. Louis and Ken— City to defray their other expendituree and aome of them got back here with beards of several days' growth, because they were not able to pay the barber for shaves.

SULLIVAN IN NEW ORLEANS.

The Big Fellow Slips Into the Crescent .Gltjr to Avoid Arrest.

NEW ORLEANS, July 4.—A large crowd gathered at the Queen & Crescent depot this morning to receive John L. Sullivan and party, who were expected to arrive. The hour of the expected arrival was not known and the crowd waited in anxious suspense until about 10 o'clock, when it was reported that the train would arrive at 11 o'clock. A few minutes after that hour the train arrived, but Sullivan, Muldoon and two others who Shad been in the party, were not on the train. It appears other arrangements had been made and Pat Duffy and Lon Lamothe, to whom had .been entrusted the management of the men, drove out to Gentilly crossing, about three miles from the depot, and there intercepted the train. Sullivan, Muldoon, Cleary and Lynch alighted from the train and entered carriages which were in waiting and were driven to priante quarters. The party did not proceed to Spanish Fort as was anticipated, as thoracis a Fourth of July celebration in progress there and Sullivan's trainers have determined to keep him quiet hence he will not take up his quarters at the fort until to-morrow. Sullivan was dressed in a gray Woolen shirt, light suit of clothes and gray hat. He appears to be in splendid condition physically and sprang lightly to the ground from the high stops of the coach.

The tickets for the forthcoming fight have been received and were taken change of by Mr. Bud Renaud, who has charge of the financial portion of the mill. There will be two trains out for the scene of the fight on Monday morning and arrangements have been made with a private police company for an adequate number of picked policemen to go on the trains.

Kilrain arrives to-morrow and will doubtless also be smuggled in. Cleary, Lynch, Worthleyand Johnson, of the Sullivan party, are at the St. Charlea hotel, leaving Sullivan and Muldoon in private quarters. Sullivan will visit the rooms of the Young Men's athletic club this evening and exercise there for an hour or two.

NEWS ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

A Young Gentleman and His Lady Love from Indianapolis [Quiet. ly Married Here..

THE BRID&'S MOTHER IN THE CITY UNAWARETOF THE FACT.

What the Groom Told an Express Reporter—Other Local News..

Mr. Othie D. Bales and Miss Marguerite R. Stumph, both of Indianapolis, were married at 8 p. m. yesterday by the Rev. W. R. Higgine,of the Moffatt Street Church, at his residence, 1603 Bouth Third street. The ceremony wss performed in the presence of but one witness, Mr. James Sage. Mrs. Bales had been visiting Miss Pet Finch, of north Sixth street, for a couple of weeks, and Mr. Balee had called upon her a week ago. He came from Indianapolis yesterday, and the ceremony was as quiet as possible. The desire for secrecy was prompted by the fact that the young lady's mother had suspected that marriage would probably ooour, and she came to this city from Indianapolis yeeterday evening on the 7 p.m. train. The knot was tied shortly after her arrival, and the principal cause for solicitude then was to prevent the knowledge of the event from reaching the mother before her departure on the return trip to Indianapolis. It was originally intended to have the'wedding one week from next Saturday night, but for some unexplained reason the parties decided at 5:30 p. m. yesterday to be married last night. Some trouble was experienced in finding the county clerk, but all obstacles were overcome and the marriage solemnized as above stated.

Mr. Balee was seen in the Terre Haute house last night in company with Mr. James Sage and the bride, but was unwilling to state to an EXPRESS reporter the incidenta and causes that preceded and led up to the apparently hasty marriage. He was even reticent concerning himself and his residence in Indianapolis. "I understand that-your mother-in-law was more or lees opposed to tbe marriage," said the reporter to Mr. Bales. "No, it was not opposition, exactly, but—I shall return to Indianapolis oi the 1:30 p. m. train, and do not desi much publicity in the matter."

Mi. Bales appears to be one who would make friends. He is a salesman in the Eagle clothing store and appears to have recently reached his majority. Mrs. Bales remained in the city with Miss Finch, whom she has been visiting, and Mrs. Stumph also remained in the city over night. It is to be supposed that the bridal secret wss closely guarded from the maternal ear until this morning.

IN THE OIL FIELD.

The Odor of the Stuff Causes Fresh Hopes of Prosperity.

Last night THE EXPRESS received a telephone mess§ge from far out toward the southeast part of the city that there was such an all-pervading smell of oil in that locality that it was suspected that a new well had come in, But there hadn't. The breeze of the day which brought the moequitoes from west of the river had shifted by- evening and carried not only the baloon to the soiithesst but the odor from the oil well too. The drills at the Kinser and Exchange wells are getting along toward the sand, however, in a way to give promise of knowing something definite about the field within a very short time.

Leases have been filed for 444*4 acres of land of whiph 405% acres were leased by M. O. Holdman and company, of Indianapolis. All of the land was leased, for the purpose of drilling for oil and gas. The lessors and tracts of land were as follows:

Ebsnezer Paddock, 170 acres in sections 8, 9, and 10, all in town 10, range 10.

O B. Soulee, et ux., 42% acres in section 24, town 12, range 8. Mary M. Rseve, 18 acres in section 17, town 12, range 8.

Jabez Smith et ux., 5 acres in section 15, town 12, range 9. Henrietta Chamberlain, 40 acres in Lost Creek township in section 9, town 12, range 8.

William Gray, 33 5 100 acres in section 17, town 12, range 8. In all of the above leases the lessors are to receive one-eighth of all oil produce, and $33 33% per 1,000,000 cubic feet for gBs produced from wells tbat produce more than 3,000,000 feet per day. For wells producing less than that amount no provision is made. The only exception to tbe above price for gas is in the lease given by O. B. Soulee, who is to receive $100 for each 7,500 feet of gss produced. Drilling is to commence within Bixty days in some instances, and within ninety days in others, and ninety days are allowed within which time to complete wells.

In addition to the above leases Charles E. Moore et ux., of Lost Creek township, leased to James B. McElwaine, of Minion county, 39 acres in section 9, town 12, range 8 terms similar to tbe terms of leases to M. O. Holdman and company.
