The Fourth of July was net an unusually
f noisy one In Lancaster. In fact the first
part or the day was remarkably quiet for
the morning of the nation's birthday, al
though many a lad was up with the sun
burning bis fingers and firecrackers, and
salutes ware fired at all hours of
the night. Great crowds of peo
ple went te the country, te pic
nic., races, base ball games and cele
brations In smaller towns. The beats en
the Conestoga were In strong demand, and
the fish In the same stream were asked te
swallow enormous quantities of well baited
hooks patiently offered by perspiring and
patriotic fishermen. The street or lines
did an enormous business and could have
had plenty mere of It with greater capacity.
As the shades of evening fell the nolse be
come mere constant and loud, and then
the firework displays began before It wrh
fairly dark. On Thursday night the
threatening weather had made many a boy
and his elders blue at the prospect of a
damp celebration, but the whole dny was
bright and warm and the evening clear
and pleasant.
The manner In which the day was spent
by our citizens and the accidents and inci
dents of this great American holiday 'will
be found noted under appropriate heading.
GRAND BALL AND PICNIC.
The Visiting Singers Entertained By the
I-tederkrans and Mmnuorehor.
On the evening of the third of July a
grand ball was tendered te the visiting
singers at Mrennercher hall. The attend
ance was large and all enjoyed the occa
sion. One hundred and fitly couples were
in the grand inarch, led by Carl Uelin and
lady. The Germanla orchestra furnished
the .music.
Friday, the 4th of July, was the last day
of the festivities Incident te the celebration
of the tenth anniversary of the organization
of the Lancaster Liederkranz, and the pro pre
gramme for the day wan a parade and picnic.
Shortly before 9 o'clock the several visiting
and local organizations assembled in the
vicinity of Liederkranz hall and neon
alter 10 o'clock the line of precession was
formed and moved In the following elder:
Platoon of police under command of
Chief Hergor.
Chief Marshal Fred Shreeder, mounted
aids, F. M. Teufel, Jehn F. Winner.
Tumor Vereln, Lancaster.
Washington Grays baud of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Liederkranz.

Iroquelsi band.
Oermanla-Miennercher, Baltimore.
Lancaster Mwnnercher.
Meutitvllle band.
Lancaster Liederkranz.
Carriages containing visitors.
The parade moved through the principal
streets and ended at the picnic grounds at
Knapp's Villa, which place was reached
shortly after 11 o'ceck.
Crowds began going te the picnic before
neon and from that time until evening
the car capacity of the East End read was
net half sufficient te accommodate these
anxious te go te Tells Haln. Many pri
vate conveyances were pressed into service,
all the 'busses in the city were run and after
an accident te one of the electrlc cars, which
was off duty for a few hours, two of the
large herse cars w ere used.
It was amusing te watch t'legoed-natured
scramble for accommodation en the cars.
These who were unable te get ou one car
P'ttlently waited for the next or walked
out. Along Last King street, from the
square te Shippen street, were groups of
people waiting. These who walked te
Shlppen street expected te get en the car
there and avoid the rush at the usual stai t
ing point, but the cars were net stepped for
them and in the end they had te go back te
the square.
It is estimated that from 4,000 te 5,000
popte wereat the picnic during the day,
ami a jollier crowd never went out of town
for a day's pleasure. Stands were erected
for the visiting organizations under the
shade trees in different parts of the ground
and here open house was kept all day. At
each et these stands the banner of the
organization was put up as a marker. The
members of the visiting societies called en
each ether during the day te exchange
greetings.
The visitation of the Lancaster Miunuer Miunuer
cher te the headquarters of ether societies
was one of the features of the day. Headed
by the Iroquois band they marched from
one te the ether until all liau been visum.
Prof. MaU, en behalf of the Mauinercher,
addressed the several organizations In Ger
man. He hoped they had a pleasant time
in Lancaster, and extended them an in I I
tatien te ceme eftener te this city. The
presiding oluceref each of the organizations
replied te the speech of Prof. Matz. They
were unanimous in their declaration that
nowhere were they ever received and en
tertained se royally as ou this visit, and
they hoped at some future day te show
their Lancaster friends that they appre
ciated their etlerts te make their visit a
pleasant one.
Dancing was one of the chief amuse
ments of the day. Te the music of Gresh's
orchestra hundreds were en the dancing
fleer all day. Other sports were also In
dulged in, aB suited the fancy of the pic
nickers. The flying carriages did a geed business.
The sure hitter, who thought he could
knock a "baby" down every time he
threw a base ball, but who did net, was
numerous, all of which was te the profit of
the fakir who had that amusement.
The 4th of July was the birthday of Miss
Dera Balz, daughter of Wm. Balz, of the
McOraun house, and her friends had a
bouquet made of red, white and blue
flowers. Prof. Matz for them presented
the floral gift te Miss Balz and as be handed
the bouquet te her the Iroquois baud
played the " Star Spangled Bauner."
All the bands noted In the parade were
at the picnic grounds all day and at Inter
vals played national and ether airs.
The committee In charge or the arrange
ments of the picnic were luderatlgable In
their efforts te have all enjoy themselves,
and they succeeded. It was a big task, but
they were equal te the emergency.
The number returning from the picnic
was tee much for the carrying capacity of
the East End company. The cars were se
full that there was net sufficient electric
power te send them up tha hill, and many
men walked that distance te lighten the
lead. After the bill was climbed thire

was no further trouble. The cars were run
until a very late hour, and yet many had
te walk home.
TUB RACES AT THE PARK.
Three Clese Contests Before an Audi
ence of One Thousand.
There were about one thousand people
out at McOrann's park in the after
noon te witness the special races which had
been arranged for the day. The crowd
would no doubt have been twice aa large
had It net been for the very many attrae
tlens that were offered at ether places In
the city and within easy reach of It. These
who want were net disappointed, for the
races were all first class. All the horses In
the big race did net put in an appearance,
but their absence was satisfactorily ex
plained. The gentlemen who acted as Judges of
the race were Cel. E. H. Edwards, of
Newark, Jehn Reland, of New Helland,
and Kauffman Deutsch, of this city, and
their decision gave the greatest satisfaction.
The drivers were very slew and consumed
much time In getting their horses en the
track between heats, and for that reason,
and because the heats In two of the races
were split, the trotting was net ever until
half past seven o'clock.
The first race was the 2:21 class for a purse
of 8400. The following horses started ;
V. Spencer, Elizabeth, N. J., b. m. Klectra;
C. K. Hedden, East Orange, N. J., eik. g.
Czarewltz, and Wm. Fiss, Lancaster, b. g.
Sherman Bashaw. This was the best ra e
of tiie day, and the heats were very closely
contested. In the first heat the horses
spent a long time scoring. Sherman Ba
shaw took the lead and maintained it te
the end. It was a beautiful context be
tween he and Klectra en the home stretch,
and the horses were se close that It looked
like either one's heat. Bashnw had n slight
advantage at the wire, however. Czarnw Hz
was a geed third. In the second. heat theie
was another close contest betweeu Bashaw
and Electro. The heat was taken by the
latter. The next two heats and the race
were wen by the Lancaster horse, but only
by hard work. The summary was as fol fel
lows :

The entries were Edward Dacy, Morris Merris
town, N. J., Jay U. See; C. R. Hedden,
hr. g. Arbutus; M. McQenlgle, Lancaster,
b. g. Herined (pacer). This was another
splendid race, and although the pacing
horse wen 'he three straight heats, be had
all he could de at times.
Jay U. See and Arbutus had a struggle
for second place, and the former came out
the better. The summary was:

II ; C. It. Hedden, b. S- Cleon ; W. R.
Cook, Jersey City, gr. g. Charley Gibsen,
and W. Spencr, ch. g. B.lly Butten. The
only horses that came en the track were
Cleon and Billy Butten. In explanation of
the absence of the etheis, Cel. Edwards
uiadea statement from the grand stand.
He said that It was no fault of the manage
ment that the ether horses were net here.
They had beeu shipped from Syracuse, N.
Y., en Thursday morning In geed time te
get here, but they failed te come in time.
The owner, driver and baggage of the
borne were en the ground, but the ani
mals in ti t have been delayed en the read,
and, although the greatest efforts had been
made te resell them by telegraph, they
could net be found. The race would be
given, however, between Cleon and Billy
Butten, and the work that these two have
done was told. Billy Butten is an old
horse and was IS years old in June. The
horse trotted ever one hundred heats hi
less than 2:30, and is a geed one. Cleon
Is 8 years old and has a fine record.
The first heat in the race was takeu
by Bill v after a sharp contest but Cleon get
t ie ethers. All of the heats were very close
and at t lines the horses were se near
together that it was impossible te tell
which was ahead.

Jacob Delp, h I,nd, Accidentally Fires u
liullet Inte Ills Ilrotber'M Brulu.
The 4th of July was a sad one for the
f iinlly of frauds M. Del p. In their home,
at Ne. 721 Union street, is their son Jehn
mortally injured, the result of a bullet
wound. Te add te their distress that
wound was inflicted by another of their
children. The accident happened shortly
befere 0 o'clock In the evening, iu the
street in trout of the Delp residence.
Francis M. Delp is the owner of a flvo flve
barreled thirty-two calibre revolver. A
year age he was annoyed by thieves visit
ing his premises and he leaded this re
volver te have It handy in case thieves
again isit them. They did net again
bother him and all this time the revolver
his been lu the drawer of his bed room,
Jehn and Jacob knew where the revolver
was kept, and ou tue morning of the
Fourth they asked their mother for it, se
that they could celebrate the day with it.
She told them they could net have it and
they lett the heuse apparently satlstled.
Later in the day Jacob returned and
secured the revolver without his mothei's
knowledge. He took It te the street and
tried te discharge It, hut ll would net go oil'
because it was rusted.
Jacob worked at the cylinder for some
time te make it revelve and Jehn steed in
front of and within three feet of him watch
ing him. While Jacob was working the
pistol was discharged and the ball entered
the right side of the head of Jehn, one and
a half inches above the right ear, in the
temporal rugieu. The course of the ball
was direct into the brain. The wounded
boy fell te the ground and was at once
carried te his home and Dr. L. A. Warren
was summoned. He did net probe for the
ball, as he saw that it was a fatal injury.
While examining the wound the brain was
slowly oozing through the opening. The
pistol was se close te the head of Jehn when
it was discharged that the side of the lace
was burned.
The boy was unconscious the greater
part of the night, and at 10 o'clock this
morning was restlug well. There is no
hope for him, but he may linger for a day
or two or mar die at any moment.
Mr. Delp, the father, was net In Lancas
ter ou the Fourth. He was assisting Win,
D, Sprecher with the harvest at his Wil
low Street farm. He was notified of the
accident by special messenger. When he
reached his home his boy recognized him,
but was tee weak te talk.
The injured boy Is 12 years old, and be
and his brother Jacob, who Is between 1.'
and 10 years old, attended the soldiers'
orphans school at Mt. Jey, and only re
turned home at the close of the school
term a few weeks age. It was the Inten
tion of the father te have them remain at
home.
The father spoke of the injured boy as a
bright, Intelligent child. He blames him
sslf partly for the accident In allowing the
pistol te be where tbey would find it, but
it had been in this place for a long time
and never having been disturbed be did
LANCASTER, PAM SATURDAY,
net suppose any of' the children would get
It,
Dr. Davis was called In consultatleu te
day, and he Is also of the opinion that the
boy cannot survive. The doctors say be
may live a few days.

TUB CITY HOTEL DISPLAY.
North Queen St root Was Fitektxl With
1'oeple te Bee ft.
The amount of powder that was exploded
iu this city ever the fourth was simply
tremendous. On the nlgbt of the third the
rain Interfered te some extent with the
boys and matiy reserved their stock until
Friday night. The firing began early In
ttie evening and continued almost' the
whole night. The rear of cannon crackers,
which are new made of fearful sizes, was
kept up and it sounded something like
artillery. The display or rockets and ether
kinds of works was very ftuei nd people
who were In the country and these who
live In the elevated srts of the city say
that they never saw anything prettier than
the display.
The largest display given In the city and
one of the finest seen here In many years
was that at the City hotel. The fireworks
had been purchased by the proprietors of
the hotel, their boarders and guests, and,
although they have treated the public te
several displays before, that of Friday night
beat anything that they have yet done. It
waa no abort display, as it centluued for
almost four hours, beginning shortly after
eight o'clock and lasting until midnight
The crowd that wltneased it was of Im
mense ait. North Queen street was packed
with people frotn,.heuse te house, from the
Grape hotel te the Northern market
and the number that viewed and
admired the display Is estimated at
ten thousand. On North Queen street,
about the railroad, hundreds brought their
chairs from their homes and sat en the
street. Among these were the Inmates of
the Children's lleine, w he occupied a Urge
stand lu front of Jehn F. Heluitsh'a store,
which had been erected for their special
benefit by Jehn tl. Ilaumgardner. Ne
ethers were allowed en the stand, which
waa protected by police, and the children
heartily enjoyed the display until after ten
o'clock, when, en account of the lateness
of the hour, thev had te be takeu home.
The display was made from a platform
evor twenty feet In length, which ran out
from the balcony of the hotel tettie middle
of the street. Johnny Schaiim and several
assistants with torches were kept busy all
evening, Roel'ets of Imiusiisu size and
the latest make were sent whizzing
through the nlr, whlle Reman candles,
bomb, plu wheels and ether pieces of the
kind weie sent oil' lu Iminoiise quantities
The colored flre was the best overseen lu
the city, mid it brilliantly Illuminated
'the streets for squares. The tilings that
attracted the greatest attention were the
flying pigeons which were soul en a wire
stretched In the middle of the street as far
up as the market house and down as far as
the postefllce. The pieces would net only
go away from the hotel, but w em se con
structed as te return. They went with the
greatest rapidity, leaving a stream of sparks
and flame and looked vety pretty.
The display waa a credit te the hotel, and
the gentlemen who gave 11 aie entitled te
the highest praise. There was net an acci
dent of the slightest kind whlle It was In
progress and everything passed off very
quietly.
Quite a let of the fireworks were left evor
as the time grew late te put them off. The
committee has agreed te put them nil' in
honor of the next governor of Pennsyl
vania, and whether he be Republican or
Democrat there will be tliewerks lu his
honor at the City hotel.

eulogizing our forefathers and (lelntlng
out the special dangers which menaced the.
republic and the consequent responsibility
of the itien, he ended with the stirring
lines from the last stanza or Longfellow's
