cers Chosen and Committees Ap
pointedEverything Is lo Be Car
ried Oat on a Grand Seal aad
Everybody Expected to Turn la and
Help.
There was an enthusiastic meeting of
the Fourth of July committee at Hotel
Jermyn last night and it was decided to
make the celebration a go. They went
even farther and resolved to make It
the biggest celebration the city has ever
seen.
First of all the question as to whelher
or not the citizens wanted a celebration
was discussed and when the sentiment
of all present was taken the question
was decided In the affirmative by an
unanimous vote. Havlug determined
that the next matter that presented It
self was what form the event should
take. There was no dissent from the
original proposition to make the cele
bration one of the good old-fashioned
kind on a large scale, consisting of a
parade In the morning, speech-making
In the afternoon and fireworks in the
evening, or something on that order.
MAYOR BAILEY CHAIRMON.
Permanent organization was effected
by electing Mayor Bailey chntrman and
A. B. Dunning, secretary. The forma
tion of committees was left to a gen
eral committee consisting of the follow
ing, who were appointed chairmen of
the various sub-committees: Fire de
partment, Chief P. J. Hickey; military,
Col. H. A. Cours en; civic societies. Cap
tain J. J. O'Hara; merchants, F. H.

music, Colonol E. II. Ripple; orators,
Hon. L. A. Watres; nrewcrks, Frank
Thompson; press, James O'Connor;
ragamuffins, Alex. Dunn, jr.
It Is proposed to make the industrial
display the great feature of the parade.
Every manufacturer and big business
house in the city will be urged to rrake
some sort of a display and as one of tne
purposes of the celebration Is to keep
the people and consequently the money
at home, it Is expected that those Who
will be most benefited thereby will not
need much urging to induce them to
participate. Every society that is jn
the habit of participating In parade
will be invited to take part and every
thing will be done to bring out a full
representation, both of the civic and
military societies.
OTHER ARRAUGEMBNTS.
Who the orators will be has not as
yet been taken into consideration, but
the fact that Col. Watres has this matter
In hand Is assurance that we will have
some celebrities. The music and fire
works, of course, will depend In a meas
ure on the reception the soliciting com
mittee will meet m their tours, which
will begin at once.
Another meeetlng will le held early
next week, the date to be fixed by the
chair. The committeemen by that time
will have been appointed and notified
and a rousing general meeting will be
held.
WAS A BAD INVESTMENT.
Sharp Practice Lands Two Youths in
Jail.
George T. Raub and John Stohlheber,
of the West Side, spent last night In
the station house a a result of crooked
financiering.
A week ago Raub's mother borrowed
$5 from a Lackawanna avenue mer
chant, with whom she traded, leaving a
gold watch for security. The son knew
of this and told his friend Stohlheber.
Between them they raised $5. secured
the watch, by representing that Mrs.
Raub sent them to redeem it, and, tak
ing it to Green's pawn shop, bargained
to sell It tor $15. Patrolman Flaherty
and Hanks appeared on the scene be
fore the deal was closed and as the cir
cumstances appearead smewhat sus
picious, they took the two youths and
the gold watch to headquarters.
Chief Robling then made an Investi
gation with the result as above stated.
It is not likely, howeve, that they will
be prosecuted as Mrs. Raub will refute
to appear.
