AN OLD-TIME FOUETII

VETERANS HAVE A PIC!C, WITH SPEECHES, HACKS AND CONTESTS. Governor Mnttlievrw nnd Mayor Denny Speak at Armstrongs Park The II nee for the PIz. The Union Soldiers Mutual League came to the front yesterday and gave an oldfashioned Fourth of July celebration, which was enjoyed by hundreds of people, who had no difficulty in calling to mind many other occasions when pig races, sack races I and foot races, 'as well as speeches, which told of the institution of the Declaration of Independence, were the popular order of the day. Armstrong's Park was chosen for the event, and great preparations were made by the members of the league to have all in readiness when the day should open. Early risers near the park heard the artillery salute given by the German Veterans, under the lead of Col. Louis Kern. Then, at 8 o'clock. The Major Robert Anderson Bugle Corps gave the assembly call. The cars, carriages and other vehicles began to arrive soon after, and when the exercises for the day began there were many present. Gen. Jame3 R. Carnahan was the master of ceremonies and introduced the several speakers. ExGovernor Ira J. Chase delivered the Invocation. Mrs. Harriet Augusta Trunk read the Declaration of Independence. Governor Matthews followed with an address, being introduced by Gen. James R. Carnahan. He said: "It Is fitting that this, the USth celebration of the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, should be held under the auspices of the veterans of 1SS1. who need no greater incentive for a revival of patriotIsm than a return of the memories of the days when in the active service of their country they testified this devotion on every battlefield from the Ohio to the gulf." He then gave a description of the history connected with the signing of the Declaration or independence?, and pictured tne scene at the report of the committee which drew up the declaration: how Jefferson wrote it and Adams defended it. He then continued: "All these are a part of the history of our country, yet the lessons they teach should never be forgotten nor the patriotIsm they inspire cease to find a resting place In the hearts of the American people. The highest type cf patriotism is that which considers the good of all rather than of self alone. Laws are made for the benefit of all, and the truest patriotism requires the creation of that sentiment which ehall aid in their execution and enforcement. It is wise for us to-day, while feeling that deep gratitude in our hearts for what our fathers may have done, the foundations laid, to stop and ask ourselves if we have builded and are building on these foundations as they would have us. and as may be for the safety and the perpetuity of a representative government. As our country grows in population so increases the difficulties of government and will continue to increase as we grow in population, wealth and the fulle&t development of our great resources. "Our doors have been thrown wide open; the generous invitation to the welcoming hospitality of such a country has been freely accepted. There are questions presenting themselves for our solution of which our fathers never dreamed, for no one at that time. I care not how gifted with prophetic vision, could foresee the grandeur, the magnificence and magnitude of the nation they were founding. There is an alarmingly growing tendency on a large part of the public, especially the Ignorant classes, and those who have come to us Ignorant of our language, customs, institutions or laws, who have not or cannot become assimilated or Americanized, to embrace vicious Ideas and destructive doctrines wholly at variance with the rights of society organized for public good and the safety of all government or any government at all. It Is our duty to our country and to humanity to give patient thought and reason in a broad patriotic way upon the evils that may threaten, and to decide upon that which may be for the greatest good to all, the great principle underlying free government. "Has our generosity been abused by those who have come among us and who cannot place a higher idea upon the liberty, guaranteed by that immortal instrument, than lawlessness and licentiousness? Does this liberty guarantee to any citizen the right to infect the political atmosphere with his vile pestilential breathings and Incendiary utterances? Should not the poison of the Anarchist cease to be distilled by the poisoner of home, life and liberty being so severely punished under law that he would hesitate to incur the dangers and the hardships of such punishment? REFERENCE TO STRIKE. "During the past few days our sympathies have been awakened in behalf of a sister republic, whose people stand to-day with bowed heads around the tomb of poor Carnot, their chief, who fell a victim to the red-handed assassin of anarchy. The murderer, who, with uplifted dagger, takes the life of his fellow-creature, gives his in return to the avengers of outraged law. He who destroys the happiness and peace of the homes of a people guaranteed through and by free government, deserves an equal fate for murderously lifting his hand against the privileges and liberties for which he came among them to partake. The Declaration of Independence guarantees to all the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness: liberty abused destroys all. It Is the liberty guaranteed to all, to the justice meted out to all, whether to the citizen of high or low station, whether of wealth or of humbler means, all should and must be sacredly protected in their rights. "The right of labor should be equally cherished with the right of capital, and each and all alike permitted to pursue their way In peace and happiness, not unjustly oppressing nor inconsiderately Infringing upon the rifchts of others. It is to us a matter of sincere regret that a single cloud appears to mar the beauty and the peace of the American skies this day, that it has become necessary to invoke the strong arm of the government to maintain order, protect the lives, property and rights of citizens and compel that respect for law which all true American citizens should instinctively feci. God grant the early coming of the day when selfish interests of any class, whether of labor or of corporate wealth, shall not assail the peace, happiness and prosperity of an entire people, or the puny ambitions of the few endanger the safety of their government; when all differences and disagreements may be settled through peaceful intervention, as between neighoor and friend, all feeling alike a common interest in the advancing glory of their country. Here, to-day, blessed with the memories of our past surrounded by a remnant of that gallant army who, in the darkest hours of their country's honor let all to defend their country's honor let us us cheri -h the record of their glorious deeds, and under the flag which they often bore to victory, a flag consecrated through the sufferings of Valley Forge, blessed with the victory' of Yorktown, baptized in the blood of patriots at Gettysburg and Shiloh, and crowned with the unfading glories of Appomattox, under that flag, and that flag alone, resolve to march to fulfill the grandeur of the government decreed by the fathers whom we honor here to-day." THE MAYOR OX ANARCHY. The chief executive of the State was followed by Mayor Dennj', who said, in substance: "The interest shown here to-day demonstrates that patriotism Is neither dead nor dying in the Iloosler State. The members of the Grand Army of the Republic deserve the thanks of every loyal citizen for reviving thi3 old and appropriate custom of bringing together all who love our American institutions to celebrate this natal day of our liberties. This is the first time during the last twenty years that the great charter of our independence has been read in public la this city. This record is not a creditable one. Let us hope that this meeting and these exercises here to-day will mark the renewal of a custom which should never have fallen into disuse. This Is the most sacred of our national holidays. It should always be to the American people what the day of departure from Egyptian bondage was to the children of Israel "the beginning of days." Whenever the memories of this great birthday of our national independence shall come to be commonplace and uninteresting to the American people, then, indeed, may we beirin to feel alarmed. The perpetuity of our free institutions depends upon the reverence in which we hold the patriots and heroes of 'TG and the sacredi.ess In which we, as a people, regard this day. "Tne duty of the hour is to stamp out nnarchy and compel obedience to the laws of the land. Every truitor to our American institution?, be he foreign or native born, must be made to understand that this is a free land for loyal citizens only. Too much has already been said about, the breadth of our freedom a3 applied to Anarchists and agitators. Wo should open the doors to these enemies of our country no longer. We should cease to extend a welcome' to foreign vagabonds and criminals, ho come to our shores to escape punishment in their own lands, and to stir up

a spirit of anarchy and discontent among our people, giving the world to understand that the territory' of the United States has every foot been dedicated to patriotism and a respect for lav.' and social order, according to American idas. Our lawmakers have done the patriotic people of the country a great wrong In making our broad cor.st on every side open doorways to admit the lum3 of foreign lands, bringing with them, as they have, contempt for the laws and customs of the American people. It is time to call a halt. It is quality we want, not quantity. "Immigrants of the best class, who are In sympathy with our customs, will prova to be quite numerous enough in the years to come. Unless foreigners can come to us reasonably well Informed as to our laws and social habits, we do not need them or want them. When the Schwabs and Herr Mcsts express approval at the assassination of patriotic rulers of this or other republics the loyal people of America should be permitted to expres.3 satisfaction

at the cracking of their necks. The neckbreaking should occur at the end of a tenfoot rope, with the other end securely fastened to a beam above. Xot until the Xation deals with this problem patriotically and firmly will our Republic bo entirely safe. Its enemies are many, at b.ome and abroad. They only await a favorable op portunity to strike us. Let the friends of our institutions prepare to meet them and keep prepared. In the meantime let an archy and contempt of our laws be made odious. "Jii't now social and commercial problems of crovernment are undergoing a great strain. Discontent is widespread. The hard time3 and trade depressions are not confined to America alone. They are almost universal. Similar conditions have occurred before, even during our short life as a Xation; and, if we may judge of the future by the past, they will occur after this generation shall have passed away. "The millennium alone will bring perfection In government and human happiness. It has not been revealed to us when the beginning of that glad time will come. Until it does come, every good citizen has a patriotic duty to perform. A part of that duty Is to resignedly accept the situation and patiently wait for better thiners. The apritator who proes about stirrintr up strife and breeding discontentt Is a public enemy. These are times for cool heads and patriotic hearts. Our word3 and our works should be those of peace, consolation and good will. Our charity should be of the kind that 'suffereth long and Is kind; that envl?th not; that doth not behave itself unseemly; that seeketh not her own, and that is not easily provoked." The Whiteland Military Band was on the grounds and the exercises were Interspersed with national airs and other appropriate music, the "Star-spangled Banner" being played time and time again during the day. At noon the artillery salute was given by the German Veterans. FIN IN THE AFTERNOON. 3Ir. Hogran "Won the VIk The Races and Prize. The most fun of the day began with the races for the prizes in the afternoon. There were not very many entries for the different races, but the few that took part were watched by a large circle of men. women and boys, who cheered with delight and laughed at the capers that were cut. The first race was a foot race for boys under fourteen years. There were an even dozen boys who thought that they were willing to try fcr the prize of J3 in gold, and they started out with a will. The winner was Fred Hazelton, and he was applauded by the crowd. The next race was the sack, and nine men stepped into bags and were tied in and then hopped to the goal. The best hopper, and the one who took home for his skill a barrel of choice flour,, was Frank Carson, of 80 Hoyt avenue. The potato race was another Interesting one. There were six rows of potatoes, and each man who entered was Kiven a bag. He was to run to the goal and pick up as many potatoes as possible. The one gathering the most potatoes was W. II. Hendricks, and he carried off a barrel of good potatoes for his trouble. In the wheelbarrow race C. L. Castle came out first, and his prize was a handsome enamel clock. For the pig race there were five entries. The pig was let out of the box. where he had been kept for some time, but showed no disposition to run, so that the men could race to catch him. Fire crackers and torpedoes did not disturb him, and s a man was sent out with a whip and pistols were fired. Finally, with much shouting from the lookers-on, the pig started. He was caught and tumbled over by several, so a second trial was mane, and V. J. Hog?.n took home the pig. The judges for the races were Co'. J. E. Twinnme, Col. J. E. Haskell and Col. W. E. Shilling. The last exercises for the day were the drills. The Liprht Infantry gave a drill for which they were presented with a silver cup, and then the old soldiers of lS)l-63 pave a drill. There was not much uniformity in their dress, for straw, . felt and silk hats covered their heads and all colors and materials were represented in the coats and trousers. Under the commands of Col. B. C. Shaw they fell into line and executed their manouvers In a way that made some people smile when comparing them with the blue uniformed lads of the military company, but others could in their mlnd'a eye see them In the old drill and knew how we'l they could do. There was a representative procession of Sherman' 3 forasrers, with rouh clothed men on the oldest and most forlorn animals they could find and all sorts of plunder, chiefly chickens and other edibles. Winston Noble led the foragers. Th day ended with a handshake nnd good-bye and a dress parade by the militia and the artillery salutes at 6 o'clock. It was a tired crowd that filled the cars and carriages, but it was a satisfied one. The old soldiers had told stories and listened to speeches, nnd the women had talked and enjoyed the attractions and the children had played games and swung in the red. white and blue swings till their he.ds were turned, and in the covered platform the young people danced to the music of an orchestra Hnd under the direction of dancing master Ben Gresh. Altogether the day was a success. The air at tho park was clear and cool and there were tents and seats. Refreshment stands Vied with the basket lunches, and Ice crrm, end cake, and lemonade took part in the pleasures of the day. 3I0TMEXTS SECOND REST DAY. Nearly n."50 Went to the Top Paucity of Fireworks. Yesterday was a busy day at the monument. It was the second heaviest day that the custodian has seen since the monument was opened. The busiest was Odd Fellows' day, when S78 persons went to the top of the monument to view the city. Up till yesterday the next heaviest day was that of the Republican State convention, when 24 persons went to the top. At half past 9 o'clock last night the total number of persons, foot and elevator, who had gone up was 31. and the custodian thought that before the hour of closing. 10 o'clock last night, that the visitors of yesterday would have reached 310 or 3.'0. The visitors yesterday came from all parts of the country and one from Xewfoundland. The States represented were as follows: Illinois. Ohio. Texas. West Virtrinla. Xew York. Louisiana, Missouri and Indiana. The crowd last night at the top was lr.nre. and at times there were fullv fifty pecnle on top the monument at one time. From this position the scarcity of fireworks about the city was noticeable. There were only a few scattering rockets and Itom.n candles here and there about the city, and no large amount of fireworks at any place. HIGNIGHT'S C0XTE5IPT FOR LAW Two Arrest' at Different Times at His Place Yesterday. Patrolmen Grubbs and Beatty walked Into Hlgnight's saloon, at Washington and Ilanna streets, yesterday afternoon and saw John Schumann,, the bartender, serving bper to a number of men. They arrested him on a charge of selling or giving away liquor on a legal holiday. HIgnlght remained at the saloon, and when be thought the officers were out of his way he opened up a bar in a room in the rear of the s.i'oon. Patrolman Celnar and a special oiiicer happened to be going to roll call from supper, when they smw a large crowd passlnj to and 'from the room. They found Hignight doing a wholesale business. He was arrested on the same charge as his bartender. The Accident Fatal to Him. William Williams, coloie. aged eightyfour years, died yesterday afternoon at 4:3) o'clock at the City Hospital. Several weeks ago he was struck by an electric car near Brightwood. He was knocked unconscious and painfully bruised. He re-p-iinrd consciousness, but was very weak. His condition gradually grew worse until his death. His extreme age and feebleness was responsible for his death.

FIEES OF THE F0UHTTI

MILLINERY STORE UNDER THE OCCIDENTAL HOTEL DAMAGED. 3Innnprcr Welner Claims a Loss of from z.'.ooo to :;o,ooo mazes from Fireworks. Shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the crowds were largest on Washington and Illinois streets, smoke was seen coming through the. transom of the store room In the Occidental Hotel building occupied by Henry D. Burghcim, the jeweler. The crowd3 at once began to gather around in front of the store on Illinois street and, for a short time, much excitement prevailed. The alarm had been sent in when the smoke was first seen and the fire department arrived in a few moments. The movements of the firemen were greatly hindered until the arrival of the police, who k?pt the crowds at a distance. The front door was broken in, and then it was seen that the rear part of the store was, apparently, the only part on fire. Several chemical streams were brought to bear on the flames, which were not extensive. The private hose of the hotel was also brought into use and the water from this, it Is claimed, did the greatest damage to the stock. When the fire had been extinguished sufficiently to get a clear view of the rear part of this store a partition about three feet long and two feet wide, with iron bars placed above It, and opening Into the rear of Newgarden's millinery store, was discerned. Smoke was coming through this partition and, at intervals, flames could be seen. A door leading into this store room was broken down and the firemen hurried in there with-several lines of hose in hand. The heat was intense and the smoke was dense, rendering breathing very difficult. The lines of hose were opened and the water was soon on the fire. The front door, leading to Washington street, was opened and the smoke and hot air were carried out that way. The flames had been confined to the stock in the rear part of this store and the greatest damage was there. However, the water did much damage and smoke and the water did the only damage to the stock In. the front part. When the fire had been extinguished, Messrs. Burgheim and Xewgarden began to estimate their loss. Mr. Burgheim said that, as the most of his stock had been placed in the cases on clearing up the store in the morning, he had been saved a great loss. As it was, he said the loss would amount to about $2,000. He carried no insurance. J. Weiner, Mr. Newgarden's manager, stated that the less to his employer would not go below $30,000 and would probably reach $33,000. He said that on the first of the month a careful invoice of the stock showed from $32,000 to $35,000 in stock in the store. He said in addition to thi3 changes In the room had been made a short time ago, which had cost several hundred dollars. The loss was mainly in furs, cloaks aivi millinery. The smallest loss, so Mr. Weiner said, was on the ready-made dresses and dress goods. Most of the stock was water-soaked. Mr. Weiner said that Mr. Xewgarden carried an Insurance of about $25,ou0 on the stock, which was distributed in companies, the local agents of which are Dyer & Rassmann, Richardson & McCrea, Albert Metzger and others. Mr. Weiner said that improvements had Deen made in order to receive the fall stock of goods which he Intended to order from Xew York next weeK. Tho origin of the fire is a mystery. Mr. Wiener said that the fire evidently started from fireworks. In the roof of the rear part of the store are two skylights. He thought that fireworks from the roofs of neighboring buildings broke through the skylights and fell on the Inflammable material, of which a great quantity was lying on tables directly under the skylights. He also thought that the Are could possibly have started from crossed electric wires. If the first theory is true, the fire started in Xewgarden's store, and then communicated through the partition to Burgheim's store. Mr. Burgheim is of the opinion that the latter theory is the most plausible. The police and fire department say that no fireworks of sufficient weight were being fired on the buildings in the vicinity to break through skylights, and It Is not customary to fire these at 3 o'clock in the daytime. Stephen T. Douthlrt, proprietor of the Occidental Hotel, said the loss on the building was slight and would not amount to over $2u0. He is of the opinion that the fire was either of an incendiary origin or was started by crossed electric wires. The lire department roughly estimated the loss on stock in the millinery store at about $3,000. Small Blazes from Pyrotechnics. Fireworks started a blaze in a room in the Denison Hotel on the Wabash-street side, occupied by Purcell & Medsker, at 6 o'clock last evening, and caused a loss of $5. The house at Xo. 124 Xorth Pennsylvania street, occupied by Dr. I. C. Walker, was damaged $5 by fire last night, at 9 o'clock. The fire started from pyrotechnics. At the same hour fireworks started a blaze at the house at Xo. 79 West Xorth street, occupied by John Carlon, and caused a loss of $5. PERSONAL AM) SOCIETY. Mr. John Laurie and family have taken tho house at Xo. 380 Xorth Capitol avenue and will take possession, next week. Mrs. Cortez Ewing and children, of Greensburg, will come the last of the week to visit her parents, Governor and Mrs. Matthews. Miss Jeannette 'Orlopp. who has been studying voice and violin in Cincinnati for the past season, has returned home to spend the summer. Mr. and Mrs. William Judah and Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Cook and daughter will leave to-dav for Mount Clemens, Mich., to spend a few weeks. Mr. John Roberts's family held a house party and picnic for members of the family and a few friends yesterday at their country home north of the city. The marriage of Miss Marguerite R. Vernon, who graduated from the School of Elocution in June, and Mr. Adolph Oldorf took place June 2i and the ceremony was performed in St. Louis by Bishop Tuttle. Mr. and Mrs. Oldorf have gone to their home at Zacatecas, Mexico, to reside. : Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Schnull entertained the members of the Alpha Club and the husbands and children of the members last evening at their home on Xorth Illinois street. The spacious grounds, surrounded with shrubbery, were decorated with flags and lanterns and chairs were set out. In one end of the yard a frame was erected, nnd from this many pieces of fireworks were lighted. A very handsome display was made. Refreshments were served to the guests. There were numerous parties at the Country Club yesterday. Some went out for the day and others for the afternoon, while after 6 o'clock several large parties came in. A party who went to the races, chaperoned by Mayor and Mrs. C. S. Dennj', drove to the Country Club for supoer. A North Meridian street neighborhood went out in carriages for tea, and there has not been a Fourth of July since the clubhouse was opened that it has been the scene of such a brilliant company as last evening. Yesterday morning, at St. Paul's Church, occurred the marriage of Miss Florence Sowerby and Mr. Eben Keeler. The bride wore a white dotted swiss. trimmed In Valenciennes lace, and carried a bouquet of Bridi? roses. As the couple entered the church the Mendelssohn wedding march was played by Mrs. Will Boyd. The bride was given away by her mother, Mrs. Sowerby, of Cincinnati. Rev. Mr. Carstensen performed the ceremony. At 11 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Keeler left for Shelby ville, 111., to spend their honeymoon with Mr. Keeler's parents. The Ilerculaneum Opening;. About five hundred people attended the opening performance of "Ilerculaneum, or the Last Days of Pompeii" at the park near the fair grounds last night. The performance went off smoothly enough, and the vaudeville features of the affair were well received.

West Indianapolis; Minnie King, residing at Xo. 2 IS West Market street, and Laura Good, residing at Xo. '594 West Morris street. West Indianapolis, were returning from the State fair grounds last night, about 9 o'clock, in a buggy. An electric street car struck the buggy while the party were crossing the bridge over Fall creek, at Central avenue, and completely demolished it. The four were thrown from the buggy, but escaped with slight scratches. Illegal Sale of Liquors. Frank McKernan, bartender for Stephen Mattler, was arrested last night by patrolmen Koons and Sutphen on a charge of selling or giving away liquor on a legal holiday.

The men came to blows and Meyer had it all his own way. lie pounded Deitz in the face with his fists until that individual was unrecognizable. Both were arrested on charges of assault and battery by patrolman Strelt. Canto's Possible Fate. New York Commercial Advertiser. Santo, the assassin of President Carnot, is to be tried for parricide. This crime involves a dreadful aggravation of the death peralty, which he fully deserves. The execrable caitiff, when his hour arrives, is to be led to the place of execution in a "shift," his head and face concealed in crape, and there he must listen to a lecture upon his crime, pronounced by some official person. If he does not lose his head during this ordeal he is to be turned over to the executioner. Thts would come under the head of cruel and unusual punishment, forbidden by our Constitution. However, If cruelty is to be recognized as an element of penalty, we modestly recommend for the place of speaker in this case the Hon. Daniel Webster Voorhees, of Indiana. "Wouldn't Get It That AVny.
