This year witnesses a three day's celebration of Fourth of July, con sequent upon tho ever glorious falling upon Sunday. Irrepressible young America did tho celebrating, Satur day. Yesterday the pastors of the city commemorated the day with, sermons appropriate to tha occasion. Today the various entertainment events are scheduled and today infant, la tho Fourth of July proper as far as celc "brallng goes. Tho intense heat and tho two and a half holidays coming successively had a tendency to send thousands of people vlsltlntr, nnd as a consequence tho rail road travel was excessively largo on all the roads. Superintendent llogart of tho Delaware, Lackawanna andWestcfn, Is nrcredlted with saying that Satur day's travel wns a record breaker on that road. The trains nut of New York were lammed all day long with parties bound for tho country', mountains, nnd lakes, and even when they reached hers they resembled excursion trains rather than regulars. There wns not tho usual amount of Third of July enthusiasm, Although a respectable number of canoneers very disrespectfully kept up a continued booming long Into tho Sabbath morn ing .They didn't mean any disrespect, however, It is safe to presume, and their thoughtlessness can be readily ex cused on the score of untfstralnable ratrlctlsm. They will bo at it again after 12 o'clock tonight and from that time on there will be no rest for tho wicked or the Just either. TODAY'S EVENTS. No general celebration 1c scheduled for to(?ay, but the day will be duly cele brated revertheless. Every pleasura spot In and around tho city will be oc cupied with some sort of goings-on. The Caledonians with their custom ary enterprise to have a big demon stration at Laurel Hill park. Races and games of all sorts, a picnic and fireworks are among the thlugs ar ranKoi'for. The main feature of the clay will be the Da Comas. Mrs. De Comx rides a blcyclo on a slack wire, fifty fevt from the ground while her husband performs on a trareze- sus pended from the wll. It Is said to bo one of the most thrilling exhibi tions given. They will be seen both afternoon and evening. Out in Green Ridge there will bo a pa rade and picnic attendant upon the presentation of a flag to St. Paul's pa rochial school by Phil Sheridan Coun cil, Y. M. I. The flag will be presented by James Roach, president of tho so ciety, and will be accepted by Rev. P. J. McMonus, nastor of St. Paul's. Hon. T. V. Powdorfy will deliver a Fourth of July oration. A feature of the pic nic will be a game of ball between teams frrudtyio Phil Sheridan and St. Brenden iDRicils.

The Lackawanna hospital received Its first patient on Saturday evening Injured by flre-crackftrs. Llttlo Frank Pallnskl, a ten-year-old Olyphant boy, was brought to the hospital and his Injuries were such as to necessitate the removal of about two Inches of bono from his arm. Frank got too near a "cannon cracker," which ex ploded with the above Injuries. Tho arm will probably be rendered useless. St. Leo's battalion of the West Side picnicked at Laurel Hill park Satur day. There was a largo crowd and a most enjoyable time. LAW EXAMINATIONS. Schedule 11 k Awarded by the Local EVminors.

June Term of Criminal Court Concludes on Snturday McLaughlin Cases Tried. The cases against P. J. McLaughlin were tried Saturday as per Judge Arch bald's schedule. The result, however, was not altogether pleasing to the prosecutrix, Mrs. Mary Shaw, for Mc Laughlin was found not guilty and the prosecutrix was called upon to help McLaughlin pay the costs In one of the cases. She acted In a rather vindictive man ner all through the trial and this prob ably as much as anything acquitted McLaughlin, his defense being that Mrs. Shaw was moved to prosecute him through spite. Ex-Judge Stanton assisted District Attorney Jones in tho prosecution. Joseph O'Brien appeared for the defense. John E. Kelly was acquitted of tho chargo of having criminally assaulted Mrs. Anna Brosky. The Jury arrived at this conclusion on the first ballot, after having been out less than half an' hour. James II. Darte, the Dunmore bot tler, was returned not guilty of lar ceny by bailee, as charged by P. F. Callahan. James McTlgho was de clared not guilty of assault and bat tery on Michael Flannery. During the two weeks June term Just closed, District Atorney Jones disposed of 107 cases by trial and In twenty four other cases ball was forfeited for non-appearance. Counting continu ances, 288 cases were disposed of In all. SENTENCES WERE LIGHT. Albert Osborne, of Olyphant, the youth convicted of outraging 12-year-old L'lzzle Jones, escaped with a sen tence of $50, fine and nine months in the county Jail. Judge Archbald said, In passing sentence, that he was moved to leniency by the plea of the prison er's counsel, James J. O'Malley. The crime, he said, was a grave one and wns recurring with alarming frequency In this county. Eloquent pleas by Atorneys Timlin and FItzslmmons, setting forth good character nnd first offense, and a lengthy petition for mercy from citi zens of Jermyn, moved Judge Gunster to Impose the very mild sentence of $1 fine and thirty days In the county Jail on Patrick Connor and Thomas Clarke, convicted of stealing two kegs of beer from the Delaware and Hudson depot at Jermyn. Daniel Langowskl, convicted at the previous term of libelling Rev. Bruno Iwnnowskl and Miss Frances Schucka, and upon whom sentence was postponed because of the Illness of his wife, was called up by Judge Archbald and given a fine of $10 and three months in the county Jail. Judge Archbald said the articles published by Langowskl were of a very libelous character and that such license of the press would not be tolerated In this county. John W. Hollenback, the ex-special ofllcer, convicted of defrauding an old woman out of $900 by forgery and false pretense, and who was given two years and ten months In the penitentiary by Judge Gunster, had his sentence modi fled Saturday so that he will only have to spend one year, nine months and one day in the county Jail.. The change In the sentence was made upon the strength of a plea made by prisoner's attorney, J. Elliot Ross. John Lyons, for assault nnd battery and malicious mloihlef, was sentenced to a fine of $10 and thirty days In each case. GOES TO REFORMATORY. Robert Hand, the Incorrigible lad, convicted of statutory burglary, was committed to tho Huntington reforma tory. On motion of Attorney Nathan Vlda ver, a rule for a new trial was granted for Adolph Bender, convicted of ob taining meat by false pretenses made to Schwarzsched Sulzberger. Judge Archbald made the following appointments of boards of mine exam iners: First district James E. Morri son, of Carbondale; Joseph T. Roberts, of Jermyn, nnd Superintendent Chnrles P. Ford, of Olyphant. Second district John R. Jones, of Bellevuc; Patrick II. Sammon, of Mooslc, nnd Superin tendent James Young, of Dunmore. The appointments date from the Janu ary term, 1S97, and are to continue one yenr. NORTH MILL TO RESUME. Work Will Begin There on Tuesday Morning'-South Mill Trouble Still Unsettled. Saturday the following notice was posted at the Lackawanna Iron and Steel companyte North mill: The blooming mill will start Tuesday morning, July 6, at 6 o'cloek, North Roll ing mill. T. G. Wolf, Superintendent. Tho North mill has been Idle for about six weeks. The resumption means em ployment for 250 men. At present the mill will run on a single turn, but there are Indications that before long the mill will bo work ing nleht and day, Tho rumor that the South mill would also start up Tuesday morning Is with out foundation. General Manager Webium up to last night had given no such orders. The situation there re mains unchanged, but there Is a belief that the trouble will be settled before many days and that both mills will soon be running full blast. BURKE SERIOUSLY CHARGED. Mrs. Ilridget Ferguson Says Ho Uroko Into Hrr House. John F. Burke, of Dunmore, was ar rested Saturday on a very serious charge, Tho warrant was sworn to by Mrs. Bridget Ferguson and exe cuted from Alderman Millar's office. Mrs. Ferguson avers that at an early hour Saturday morning Burke broke into her resident In Dunmore and en tered an apartment in which her sixteen-year-old daughter slept. The girl screamed when she saw the man and the iellow made Ills escape through tho same window by which he entered. Burke was held In $500 ball to await the action of court.

TRAMPS ROASTED HIM, HE SAYS His Story Is That After Uobbinc Him ofllls Clothing, tho Trnmps Held Hint Over n Wood Fire in tho Woods, nnd Then Released 111m--Uis Condition Serlous.-Tho Story Is I)oubtcd--Scnrchlng for tho Trnmps. Entirely naked and with the flesh of his head, back, legs and feet badly burned, twelve-year-old Willie Turner entered through the rear door of the residence of his father, John Turner, of Nay Aug, at 1 o'clock yesterday af ternoon and fell In a faint to the kitch en floor. Dr. Garvcy, of Dunmore, was sum moned, and an hour later the little fellow had so far recovered to be able to tell his story. It is as startling as was the appearance on the doorslll of the flesh roasted boy. Ho left home at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, dressed In holiday attire, and made straight for the woods, which surrounded Nay Aug. He says that nbout noon he found himself in an open field over n, mile from home. While walking through this field he came across two tramps who were cooking victuals over a wood lire. SCREAMED FOR HELP. The lad tried to avoid the men, but they ran and caught him. Young Turn er screamed for help but he was far from any friend. The tramps took him to the fire and after annoying him for a time they finally, at the sug gestion of the toller of the two, took off his clothing part by part and then held him over the fire. His naked flesh was raised In blisters and fairly crackled from the heat before he was released. He then dragged himself home, as re lated. Dr. Garvey, who was seen by a Tribune reporter, states that the con dition of the boy Is critical. He may and may not recover. Late yesterday afternoon many of the whole population of Nay Aug scoured the fields in search of the fiends. Nothing will prevent the ex tremest punishment lr the tramps are captured. The Dunmore police have also been appraised of the outrage. Up to a late hour last night nothing had been learned of the tramps. The Turner family Is one of the most prom inent In Nay Aug. THE STORY DOUBTED. By some the story of the boy la doubted. It Is believed that possibly he was burned by flreworks or through some other carelessness and that ho feared to tell the true story of his mis hap. CHURCHES AND INDEPENDENCE DAY.
