How the Day Waa Spent at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Gettysbcfc;, Fa., Jaly 4 Just as the clock in the tower of the county courthouse last night sounded the first stroke of 12, the midnight stillness was broken by the strains, from a bugle, of "Way Down IJpon the Swanee River." Scarcely had its notes died away when the members of the Philadelphia Brigade and Pickett's Division began the celebration of the glorious fourth with the booming of cannon on Fast Cemetery Hill and the roar of firecrackers in the town. Pandemonium reigned for an hear and a half. No such noise has disturbed this little village since the three memorable ciavs of 18G3. This morning at 7 o'clock tüe members of Pickett's Division proceeded to the court-house and were called to order by Colonel Aylette. Some one proposed that every member cf the division present should give 25 cents toward paying the expense which Mrs. Pictett incurred on this visit. The proposition was accepted with cheers; and the way the money rattled on the secretary's desk was a sufficient proof of the esteem in which Mrs. Pickett is held by the division. Resolutions were then adopted thanking the Philadelphia .Brigade for the hospitable jrnaEcer in which they bad treated them, the town authorities lor the' way they had received them, their own officials for the trouble and time they had given to bringing about this reunion and all soldiers for their fraternal greeting. The meeting then adjourned, and outBide the building they joined in procession with the Philadelphia Brigade. Each Pickett man linked arms with a Philadelphian, and the line proceeded to tne Eagle Hotel, where the party took carriages and started over the battle field. In the first carriage were Mrs. General Pickett and her eon George; Mrs. Charles Banes, wife of the commander of the Philadelphia Brigade, and Colonel Batchelder. Fnlly 100 carriages were in the line, which wended its way through the dust of the Etnmittsburg road to the Spangler lane. Into this they turned and proceeded past the farm-house to the risicg ground beyond. Here all alighted, ard then the word went round that Mrs. Tickett was going to hold a reception on the very ground over which her husband's command had charged, and within a few yards of the woods under whose cover he, twenty years before, hal formed his division. The Pickett men were first formed in line, and one by one advanced and were introduced to the wife of their old commander by Color. el Clopton, of Richmond, Va., by name, stating their regiment and rank. Ehe had a word for all, and all had a word for her. The Philadelphia Brigade was next presented. Her sonfc George' Pickett, stood at her side, and when she dropped a hand it wai at once grabbed by him. The peopla tben moved to the highest ground, and Colonel Bachelder formed the survivois of Kemper's, Barnett's and Armistead's brie ales of Pickett's Division in . the order they had been when the charge began, and asked the commander of each regiment to step forward and point out the position of his command. When this was done the party once more resumed their ride and took the following route: Out the Kmmittsburg road, along Sickles' line to the peach orchard, ' thence across the bloody wheat field to the "Devil's Den," through the "Valley of Death," along the base of Roundtop, thence by the battlefield avenue along the Union line post, the umbrella copse of trees where Hancock fell wounded, on by 'Bloody Angle" and the high water mark of the rebellion, past Meade's headquarter!, through the beautiful National Cemetery, and entered town by the Baltimore pike, over which the Union troops retreated after the bloody struggle of the first day. - Mrs. Hckett was the center of attraction . on the field. She had gathered some

dames and clover heads; a number ot the brigade asked her for a few; she gave them with a smile, and one by one they were iren away to be treasured as mementoes, (er autograph was also eagerly sought, and she reused no one. t Gecree Pickett showed the Associated Press correspondent the watch his father carried during the charge. It is a medium sized gold one, with the stars and stripes and stars and bars crossed on the lid ; on the inside are the names of the battles in which he participated in the Mexican war. To say that Pickett's men are pleaded would be putting it lightly. They are delighted with everything and everybody. , In the words of a Confederate soldier: "We are pleased all to pieces, but Cowan this timet as captured us body and soul." While the band was playing a medley of Confederate and Union war tongs as the veterans were starting on their side over the field it struck up "Yankee Doodle." Instantly Rebel yell and a Union cheer showed that the war song of their fathers above all others had touched a sympathetic chord in the breasts of both. This evening a religious service was held. In the absence of the chaplain, Rev. J. K. Demorset was asked to speak before a gathering ol P.'ckett'i men mainly at the courthouse, lie spoke to them on the subject tol the day: "How Mnch the Liberty and

Brotherly Feeling Characteristic of Oar Land Should Endear it to all Citizens." This evening Mrs. Pickett held a reception at the Pickett Ei vision headqnarteis, and for an hour shook the hand of every one presented to her. Immediately after the reception the was serenaded by the Grand Army of the Republic band. The Pickett men then adjourned to the garden of the house where the Sixty-Ninth Pennsylvania men were holding forth. Speech making and toast offerings were then the order till late in the night. Cowan's Battery and the Wheeler Rifles departed at 9 o'clock this evening, and some ot the Philadelphia Brigade also left for their homes. The Pickett Division will leave at 4 o'clock in the morning, and the remaining - Philadelphias will leave about 9 o'clock. .

TUE FOURTH IN NEW YOKE CI TV. Baslneis Entirely Suspended The Tarn many Ilall Celebration. New York, July 4 Toe Fourth of July, here was oppressively hct, the thermometer dancing up among the nineties. Business was entirely suspended. The seaside rescrts were thronged with visitors, and almost every person who had a chance left the hot city for cooler breathing spots. J.aDy clubs had athletic games, and young America made his patriotism known by tl e explosion of tire-crackers and torpedoes. There were several yacht races, the best being the regatta of the Larchmcnt Club on the sound, in which no less than fortyeight vessels took part. The chief interest centered in the contest between the Shamrock and Titania, the latter winning by 2lA minutes. The United Labor Tarty held a rather thinly attended celebration of the day at the Academy ot Music, at which John McMac kin and others delivered speeches. The veterans of 1812 celebrated the Fourth by raising the hag on the old fort in Central Park, a reunion and a dinner. There are only three of the veterans living in this vicinity. They are General Abram Dally, aged ninety-one years. George Grig ger, aged ninety years, and Henry Morris, aged eighty-eight years. Tammany Hall, in its wigwam, held its ninety-ninth celebration of the day. Governor Fitz Hugh Lee, of Virginia, was down on the programme for the first "long talk." He was received with applause that shook the building and he had only begun his speech with the words: "Away down in old Virginia, where I live" when he was interrupted by a call for three ckeers for Virginia, which was heartily given. "Virginia to-day," he said, "clasps hands with New York in the hearty celebration of the day. The sons of New York and Virginia left bloodstains that mingled on the revolutionary battle fields of New York. Virginians and New Yorkers froze together at Valley Forge." He wished that John Kelly's eyes could look upon the scene and see how close and closer the sections are coming together. "I hear the voice of the great soldier who sleeps by the riverside saying from his death bed that he reels that a grand era ot peace is approaching. 'Let us have peace.' " At the cloee of General Lee's speech the band struck np "The Bonnie Blue Flag." Governor Wilson, of West Virginia, was the next speaker. The reconcilatlon between the States, he said, is complete, and if there are stragglers who have not yet learned that the war is over they are indeed to be pitied. Secretary Gilroy then read letters of re gut from from President Cleveland, Governor Hill, General Sherman, Secretary Bayard, Secretary Fndicott, Secretary FairChild, Attorney-General Garland, Hon. J. G. Carlisle, General Fitz John Porter, SeBator Blackburn, Senator Reagan, Hon. D. W. Voorhees, Governor Gray, of Indiana: IHon. W. S. Holman, of Indiana; llon.W. M. Springer, of Illinois, and others. It was announced that "short talks" were in order, and Hon. W. C. May bury, of Michigan, was called. "I believe in civil service reform," he said. "I believe the Democratic party is the party of reform and that, under Democratic administration, they should have the offices." The closing "short talk" was by Congressman S. S. Cox, who said: "What is the shibboleth of the Republican party ? Why, there was a little incident concerning the battle flags the other day. These flags were mouldering in the attic of the War Department at Washington. It was proposed to continue this era of good feeling between North and South, but the President found that it was unlawful, and the order was countermanded. There never was such a noise raised before as our Republican friends raised over this matter. Governor f Foraker, ot Ohio, sort on to Washington to have the Government enjoined from performing this act of good fellowship. Had he lived in the days when a babe was born in Bethlehem he would have sent on to Jerusalem for an order enjoining the heavenly host from singing, 'Peace on earth; good will to men,' and a mandamus compelling them to sing the opposite, 'Hate on earth ; ill will to men.' " This concluded the programme. President Cleveland, in his letter of regret, said : "In the long and continued observance of this day, by a society founded upon patriotic principles, and most devoted to the creed most in consonance with the perpetuation and protection of American institutions, it seems to me at this time, when the party with which this society is affiliated, is so largely charged with the responsibility of guiding the Government, the contemplated celebration of the ensuing Fourth of July should, in the language of your invitation, revive with more than usual fervor the memories which give significance to the day." Most ot the other letters are brief, and are without political significance. Advices to the Associated Press indicate the Fourth of July was observed in the old fashioned way, with processions, orations and reading of the Declaration of Independence more generally than for many years past At Boston there were all sorts of outdoor sports, among them rowing races for professionals. The three-mile single-scull race was a failure on account of rough water. The boats of Teemer, Hosmer, Courtney and Ross drew out, leaving McKay to finish alone. The fouroared working boat race was won by the crew consisting of Teemer, Hosmer, McKay and Brown, beating Lee, Rc&s, Plaisted and Mate and two other crews. In the aingle scull contest at Buffalo, the order coming in was HanJan, Hamm, O'Connor and Marigen. Courtney, Bubear and E aright did not complete the course. The time of the winner in the two and one-half miles course was eighteen minutes and forty-nine seconds. The Industrial procession was one hour and forty minutes passing a given point. The oration was made by Hon. George R. Wendling. At Scran ton, Pa., T. V. Powderly delivered the principal oration. There was no formal celebration at Wash in g ton. At Charleston, 8. C, business was suspended, and there was a parade of colored troops. At Atlanta the Salvation Army paraded. There was a large celebration at Mont gcraery, Ala. There wer the xurual nnmher of ocl-

dents and fires at various places, but no great calamity, either in the way of loss of life or property, is reported. AT PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND. Unveiling; of a Monument to General Ambrose Burastde. Providekce, R. I., July 4. The Burnside monument was unveiled to-day. The skies were fair and the weather somewhat less oppressive than for four days past, the extreme heat being tempered by a breeze. The entire militia of the State had been ordered out by the Governor, and at 10:30 o'clock a procession moved from Exchange Place through many of the principal streets. The line was an hour and ten minutes in passing a given point. There were few elaborate decorations and the display of bunting was not geneial. The line, on account of the heat, made frequent halts, and it was after 1 o'clock when the site of the statue, m Excharge Place, was reached. A large stand had been erected south of the monument and covered with a canva3 roof. The line was massed in front of the statue and the exercises were opened by the introduction of Governor Davis as president of the day. The Governor made a brief address only. Rev. Joseph J. Wooley, of rawtucket, oßered prayer. 'General Lewis Richmond, of Bamside's statt, said - about thirty'' words and then, with tbe assistance of others of the staff, unveiled the statue. The work, which is an fquestrien composition of bronze, stands on a gTanite pedestal sixteen feet high, 8nd is one and a half times the size of life, the figure of the general being nine feet high. The aim was to represent Burnside as he appeared in the field. He is apparently upon an eminence, and is scanning maneuvers at a distance, as a fieldglass is in his right hand. The figure is turned slightly in the saddle, and the gaze bent to the left. The horse stands with all four feet upon the ground. Its ears are pricked up and nostrils dilated as if scenting the battle. The statue was cast by the Henry Bonnaid Bronze Company, of New York, and the work, pedestal and statue, cost a trifle less than $40,000. After the unveiling General Horatio Rogers dehveaed an oration, reviewing General Bumside's military career. The delivery of the statue to the city was by Colonel Robert H. I. Goddard, and Mayor Bobbins received it in the name of the city. The benediction and the American bymn closed the exercises at the monument. The out-of-town bodies were entertained in this city and at seashore resorts. The veteran firemen made a parade in the late afternoon with some of the old-time hand eagines. The Grand Army posts held open house, and this afternoon entertained their guests at camp-fires. AT BEAU VI EK, MISSISSIPPI.

The Continental Guards, of Hew Orleans, Visit Jefferson Davis, New Orleans, July 4. The Continental Guards, of this city, went on a picnic to Beauvier, Miss., to-day, and in a body called on Jefferson Davis. Captain Drowns made an address. After referring to "The Day We Celebrate," he said: "I mention the fact that our membership is composed of wearers of the gray and the blue to convey the idea that ail past bitterness is buried again. Thanking you on behalf of our members and the ladies accompanying us, I would add that it is our intention to picnic in your neighborhood, and that we would be pleased to have yourself and family join us." Mr. Davis replied to the following e fleet: "The day is one which is full of memories very dear to us. Your uniform carries the mind back to the time when our fathers fought for the great principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence, the equality of mtn and the right of people to govern themselves. In other word3, for the principal that all powers of government depend on the consent of ihe governed. Thete principals our fathers maintained. Yours is a uniform that carries us back to times when our people made sacrifices of blood and treasure for a came that was dear to them. My father bore arms in that way. and my wife's grandfather was also a soldier of the Revolution. Your uniform is, therefore, dear to the hearts of both of us. We may not dwell upon the subject, yet we can not avoid reminding ourselves that you the men of this generation through four years of strife and sacrifice of blood and treasure, sought to maintain the great principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. As your captain has justly said, these things belong to the past. I do not seek to revive them beyond pointing out that you fought for the right, and let your children remember that their fathers were neither rebels nor traitors." At Woodstock, Connecticut. Putnam, Conn., July 4. Only about 1,000 persons were present at the celebration given by H. B. Bowen, editor of the Independent, at Woodstock, to-day, less than half as many as usual. Addresses were made by Hon. John Ruck, of Hartford; Hon. John H. Long, of Massachusetts; Rev. J. R. Paxton, ot New York, and General Horace Porter, of New York. Hon. Clark E. Carr, of Galesburg, 111., delivered an eloquent eulogy on the late John A. Logan, which held the closest attention of the audience throughout Rev. W. W. Patton, president of the Howard University, at Washington, spoke on "The Education of the Negro," and Hon. William Windom, of Minnesota, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, on the "Saloon in Politics." Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, was expected to speak on "Our Foreign Relations During the Rebellion," and Senator W. B. Allison, of Iowa, on "The Strength of Our Government," but it was impossible for them to be on hand. There was a fine pyrotechnic display this evening. At Paris, Illinois. Special to the Sentinel. Paris, HL, July 4 Independence Day was celebrated in this city with all the pomp and glory of former occasions. A procession In the morning, consisting of bands, military companies, fire department, police department, bicycle riders, etc., paraded the streets. In the afternoon the exercises consisted of public speaking, bicycle races, races by fire companies, etc. At night the city was illuminated by electricity and fire-works. Heavy rains last night made the weather delightful. The citizens have been three weeks makiig preparations for to-day's festivities, and their efforts were crowned with success, thousands of people being In attendance. The Fourth la Ixndon. Lobdos, July 4. A reception In honor of the day was held at Grosvenor Gallery. Among the guests were Mr. Blaine, ConsulGeneral Waller, Minister Phelps, "Colonel Cody, Mrs. Brown-Potter, Henry Irving, Miss Terry, and Messrs. Woodal, Flower, Reed, Patrick O'Brien, Justin McCarthy, and members of Parliament. - Mr. Phelps proposed "The Fourth no country to an American like home." It was responded to by Mr. Blaine, who said: iThe Vnlted States. I tfe only country with a known biilhjlay: Ail the rest began, they know. not

how, and grew into power they know cot how. If there had been no Fourth, England and America combined would not be so great as each actually is. t There is no Republican, no Democrat to-uay, all are Americans." Great enthusiasm was manifested.

An Old-Fashloned Celebration. Philadelphia, July 4. There was an old fashioned celebration of the day here, except that the authorities forbade the firing of salutes and the exhibition of fire-works. There was a military parade in the morning, followed by an oration and the reading of the Declaration of Independence in Independence Square. Then, in Fairmount Park, in Memorial Hail, 1,200 children sang, and afterward ProfeEsor Wise and three other persons went up in a balloon in a northwesterly direction. They have not been heard from since.. A feature of the day was the boatracing on the Schuylkill. What the President Did. Washington,- July 4. The President spent the Fourth of July quietly, riding in from Oakview in the moririig, as usual, and rejoining Mrs. Cleveland there in the altera oon. THROUGHOUT TUE STATE, IIow the FonrfH Wu observe! at She bjvillf, Terre Haute, Anderson, Etc, Special to the Sentinel. Siielbyvilue, Ind., July 4. In spite of the bad weather, a crowd estimated at 5,000 people came here to-day to attend the celebration. The band tournament was held on the Public Square, commencing at 10 o'clock a. m., with the following entries: Whiteland Band, of Whiteland, Ind; the Greensburg Band, the Lebanon (Ind.) Juvenile Band, and the Clarksburg Ind., Reed Band. The first prize $250 was awarded to the Whiteland Band, who scored out of a possible 00. There were no entries for the second prize, and the third prize, $100, was awarded to the Lebanon Juvenile Band, the Clarksburg Rand withdrawing and no score being given. The Greensburg Band scored ZyA out of a possible 00. After dinner the sham-battle was held on the West Side. The "Johnny rebs" were commanded by Major Alfred Clark, and the Union boys by Brevet-Major J. R. Clayton. The aflair was participated in by about 300 men. It was well mansged, and very interesting to the large crowd who witnessed it. In the evening Jake Kilrain and Charlie Mitchell gave a four-round sparring contest with six-ounce soft gloves to a rather meager audience, compared to what vas expected. The aflair was rather tame, except in the third round, when the men got warmed up and somewhat in earnest. Some of the blows taken and given would have been serious t ad it been a bare-knuckle light. Mitchell was plainly overmatched both in reach ar,d weight, but he demonstrated the fact that he was a very clever fighter. Kilrain is a hard hitter and a great deal quicker both with bis hands and on his feet than one would think to look at him. He strips well, but he don't 'show up" In the ring like Mitchell do a. Mitchell is every inch a fighter from his bead to his heels. The third round was the best of the four, starting in with some rattling punches, and winding up with sharp "in-fighting." The wind-up was good, Mitchsll, eettirg in three cross-arm blows in on a," two and three order on Kilrain's 'kisaor," and finished with short-arm work. To-night, in spite of heavy showers, fireworks were sent up in all directions, and the small boy was in his glory. The Celebration Marred at Terre Haute. Bpecia" to the Sentinel. Tekre Haute, Ind., July 4. The Fourth of July celebration was somewhat marred by the unwise action of the committee in bringing Bchilling, a Milwaukee Anarchist, as one of the speakers. The affair was in charge of a committee of Knights of Labor and the G. A. R. The record of Schilling, which is that of a Socialist and boycotter, for which offense he has been indicted at Milwaukee, was not generally known to day; in fact, it was not decided to have him speak until the announcement was made in the Alpha Union last satur day. At a stormy meeting of the Grand Army this morning resolutions were offered by Colonel R. N. Hudson, and almost unanimously passed, bitterly denouncing the folly of selecting an Anarchist to deliver a patriotic speech, and refusing to take part in tne parade or having anything to do with the celebration, if he was allowed to speak. Similar resolutions were adopted by the police and fire departments. The committee, headed by M. U. Rankin, insisted on having him speak, which he did this afternoon in the presence of a large crowd, considering the rain. He referred in his speech to the Declaration of Independence as embodying very good principles, but grew more enthusiastic when referring to the prlnci pies of the Knights of Labor. His speech was more in the nature of a labor harangue than a Fourth of July oration. The affair has caused considerable excitement and unfavorable comment, the committee in charge being severely condemned. A Cniqne Fourth at Danville. Special to the Sentinel. Dakyille, July 4. Despite the threaten ing weather, Danville was crowded to-day to celebrate the Fourth of July. A parade of the "Horribles" was first on the pro gramme. The main feature was a baby stow arranged by Messrs. McClelland and Tomlin8on, who awarded three prizes on thirty-two entries. The first prize, a fancy baby carriage, was awarded to Edith May Reitzel ; the second, a cradle, to Homer Flynn; the third, a baby chair, to Leanard j?uips. Dr. C. A. White, the commander of the G. A. R. post, delivered the main address, a stirring and most patriotic discourse. Hon. J ohn V. Hadley gave a vivid ac count of Southern prison life. Dr. Huron, Dr. Johnson and All Wei shans made short addresses on army experience. A new song, written and composed by Rev. Sam F. Wisbard, entitled "The Flag of the Free," received the heartiest ap plauses. A contest of young ladies to hitch a horse to a buggy in the shortest time was won by Miss Maggie Llngenfelter, and an Indian pony race was won by Horace Mcvey. At Wabaslw Special to the Sentinel. Wabash. Ind., July 4. The Fourth was duly observed in this city notwithstanding the showers, which fell at frequent inter vals during the day. The programme at the Fair Grounds, with the exception of the addresses by Hon. W. G. Sayre and Major M. H. Kldd, was fulfilled to the letter. Drills by Uniform Rank Knights of Pythka of Wabash, Canton Patriarchs Militant and the Marion military were features of the exercises, and to-night the most magnificent fire-worki display ever witnessed here la being given. The Day st Oonnertville. B pedal to the sentinel. Cokhkssvillx, July 4. The plans for the celebration here to-day by the Knights of Labor were elaborate, including an Indus trial parade of Immense wagons, filled with

woikiugmen and materials from the four large furniture factories, the fotmdry, carriage factories, stores, etc., and of the various orders, bicycle club, Knights of Pythias, etc The unfavorable weather in

terfered somewhat disastrously, but it has been a proud day for the Connersville Knights of Labor, nevertheless. A Big Time at Anderson. Special to the Sentinel Akderson. Jnly 4. Never in the history of Anderson has there been such a crowd on the streets as was here to-day to take part in and witness the celebration and gas jubilee. The city was in holiday attire, and flags and bunting were displayed on every hand. The parade was well managed. The sham-battle was fought with infantry, artillery and cavalry, and was so realistic in its effect as to work up combatants and spectators to a high pitch of excitement The Indianapolis Light Artillery were here, and took part in the battle and gave an exhibition drill that was loudly applauded. In the evening a magnificent dis play or the great gas wells was given. The city was everywhere aflame with roaring columns of burning gas and the streets were as light as noonday. ihe great Vesuvius (the largest of the Indiana wells) was also displayed at the glen where it is located, and its volume and power was a surprise to all. " Senator Tnrple Delivers the Oration. Special to the Sentinel. Delphi, July 4. -The Fourth was cele brated in glorious style under the auspices of the Knights of Labor. The district deputy ot the order and Senator David Turpie were the speakers of the day. Senator Turpie delivered a patriotic and pleasing address to a large audience at 2 o'clock p. m. At night our little city was ablaze with fire-works, and, taken altogether, the celebration was a success. At Winchester. Epeclal to the Sentinel. Wikchester, July 4. The Fourth was celebrated under the auspices of the order of Red Men here to-day, fully 3,000 people being in attendance. A brilliant display of fireworks, music, etc., enlivened the occasion at night. The Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Red Men, Sons of Veterans, etc., turned out in full regalia, making one of the grandest affairs of the kind for yeare. Colored Odd Fellows Celebrate. Special to the Sentinel. Cambridge City, July 4.--The colored Odd Fellows of this place were joined by their brethren of Richmond. Kushville and Connersville in celebrating the Fourth in Callaway's grove, near this city. A respectable street parade occurred about 12 m. Speeches were made on the ground by several prominent members of the order. At Greenabarg. Gkezxseukg, July 4. Notwithstanding no efforts had been made to celebrate the Fourth and no attractions offered, Greensbuig boasts of a big day, ts the attendance of the folks from the country has been unusually large. PATRIOTISM IN THIS CITY. The Observane of - the Fourth Here. boats Worklngmen's Picnic. The glorious Fourth, until last night, was very quiet in this city. Morning came with a drenching rain, but even af ter- the sun had dispersed the clouds there was not much of a disposition manifested to be at all noisy. There was plenty of patriotism here, but it smouldered. The patriotic youths made faint attempts occasionally to demonstrate their exuberance of feeling on this the day his country was born, but it wasn't much fan for them, as they were compelled to hie themselves away to their homes to shoot firecrackers out of the sight of vigilant policemen. Occasionally the Bilence was broken by a fiz and a tharp crack, and the pedestrian would stop to look to see what broke the stillness, and then, perchance, it would dawn upon him that it was the Fourth. Citizens did not expend much energy or take much pride in the city's decorations. Occasionally from a house top Vtould be suspended the folds of - a loneseme flag that flapped itself lazily now and then, as if in sympathy with the drowsiness of the owner who put it there. In the afternoon the stores closed, and the day was very like unto Sunday. Indeed, if one did not keep revolving in his mind his knowledge of the almanacs, he could have been easily deceived. He might be led to realize, however, that Sunday did not have such crowded street, filled with a throng that walked and walked, although there was nothing to see bnt the Fourth. At nignt the city seemed to awake from its lethargy, rubbed its eyes and sought a little diversion in fire works. With the coming of twilight and darkness the rocket and roman-candle lifted themselves into the heavens, and then reflecting that their journey required too much energy, dropped to the earth again, after telling everybody by tfceir explosions that this kind of work was all nonsense anyhow, and as for themselves, they didn't care to go any further. Bunches of firecrackers also occasionally began a great fizzing, Epathering and cracking noise and they subsided like everything else. A heavy cloud came upon the scene, too, and after growling around awhile and discharging some crazy fire works, passed off into the distance, muttering as it went, A great many picnics that had been arranged for the day received their death blow from the falling morning rain. A few people, however, not to be outdone by nature, left the city on various excursion trains or ate their big dinners closer home. It was a quiet Fourth, but its quietness was no indication that there was not a wealth of patiotism in the people's hearts that could make itself heard in thunders even of war when necessity should demand it. The Knight of Labor picnic at North Indianapolis yesterday was attended by more than a thousand people. The proceeds were to go to the striking street-car drivers, and more than $200 were realized. The crowds were conveyed to the grounds by three trains over the Big Four Road. The last return train arrived at 8:30 o'clock. It is said there was not a drunken man there, and that an enjoyable time was had. Several good addresses were delivered, but the principal speech of the day was by Congressman Bynuxn. He extolled the virtue of labor, and eloquently defended the rights of the workingmen, who are the real bone and sinew of the country. He thought there could be no better time to speak a word lor the . laboring man than on the anniversary of the Nation's independence. Mr. Bynum's address was received with great applause. England's American Enemies. L0KD05. July 4. John Bright has written a letter in which he says Ireland is not neglected, but the good measures in relation to that country passed since lu had been obstructed by a conspiracy deriv ing its funds and inspiration .from the American enemies of England. But for conspiracy, he says, the great land bill of JfcSl would have made Ireland tranquil.

THE INDIANA BUDGET.

The White Caps of Mtrergp.Crawfcri County, Commit Another Oitrsge. Gas at Fern A Freight Train Wrecked Attempted Suicide The New Wheat Melons Other Specials. Corydon, July 3. Samuel Gray, a citizen of Paoli, got a notion into his head that he wanted to visit Marengo, Crawford County, although he had no special business at that place. He accordingly harnessed np his old gray mare and drove over, taking his small child along with him, to see the sights. The first point of interest he struct was a saloon, and he proceeded to fill his hide with the pale-red article of Crawford County manufacture. Mr. Gray wanted to show the people of Marengo that he was an expert driver, and he consequently drove about the streets in a very reckless manner, finally overturning his wagon, spilling himself and his child out upon a pile of rocks, both being injured to a considerable extent. The citizens then took him to a house and put him to bed, where he remained until 12 o'clock at night, when a band of White Caps called upon him and gave him fortynine lashes upon the bare back. When he was released he at once started for home, expressing deep regret that hehadever struck Marengo.
