IIouieOlhcr Events of the Da v.
The ushering in of Independence Day
was preceded last night by the blaz
ing of rockets, bursting of all kinds
of crackers, and the booming of can
nons planted at various points in the
suburbs. Crowds thronged the streets
in the center of the city, and the small
boy and the always present fire crack
er made plenty of excitement
The aforesaid small boy was never
so happy as when exploding a cracker
or a torpedo at the feet of some staid
citizen or sober, sedate matron, and In
consequence many a start and Jump
wus knocked out of the promenadera
by the imps of the curb-stone, who
were charged more heavily with mis
chief than with patriotism.
It was a busy night In Scranton for
those having charge of today's big
demonstration were hard at work com
pleting the lust details of the arrange
ments and others were engaged In
preparing for the various picnic, etc.,
to be conducted by societies. The
greatest interest centers in the public
demonstration to be held here in the
