HOW SCRANTONIANS
OBSERVER THE DAY
No Great Shakes, but tho City Did Very
Well.
MANY AVENUES FOR PLEASURE
Caledonian Cnnics, Ilnso Nnll, I.nke
Ariel Excursion nnd Other Menus of
rnstlmo-Thousnnds Left the City
nnd Thousands Celebrated nt
IIomo--Vorr Llttlo I)lsordcr--In
tense Ilcnt.
The third edition of the Fourth of
July, 1897, was variously observed in
this city yesterday. As a legal holi
day It was one of the tamest ever
known. The celebration on the two pre
vious days, Saturdny and Sunday,
played hob with tho small and big
boy's stock of fire works, and conse
quently there was no great noise. This
fact also explains the very quiet day
with tho fire department.
Chief Hlckey had made thorough
preparation for prompt nnd efficient
service. In every hose house a special
detail of firemen were located nnd the
chief himself spent every moment of
time at his headquarters In the Cen
tury house. There were fewer fires than
In years, however.
About the city there were n few
pedestrians and these few were either
waiting for street cars or were mov
ing toward some sheltering nook.
At Nay Aug park tho men who made
the park possible were blessed bv
thousands of people. White, light
gowns and straw hats were nil over
the park. There was no special at
traction there, only the trees and
breeze and benches, but these were ap
preciated. The same magnetism wns
responsible for hundreds of wagon
loads of people who spent the day at
Mountain Lake, the pretty little patch
of earth and water In this back yard
of fie South Side.
At Laurel Hill park, besides the
trees, etc., there were the Caledonian
games. These afforded the principal
entertainment in the city. The crowd
was Immense, numbering Into several
thousands.
AT LAKE ARIEL.
At Lake Ariel a large crowd en
jpjed the privileges of the pretty re
sort. Trains to the Lake during nil
the dny carried fresh loads of the
seekers for a good time nnd a cool at
n.osphere. The crowd was order;y and
companionable.
Hase ball was also In evidence, very
must so. In the morning Athletic
prk contained about three thousand
pesons, Including a very few from
Wilkes-Barre. In the afternoon the
game nt Wllkes-Barre attracted over
hrb Scrantonlans. The Scranton dele
gallon In size nnd enthusiasm was
quite pretentious.
At Athletic park In tho afternoon
the Eureka and Lackawanna ama
teur ball clubs furnished some enter
tainment. A boxing bout was a prom
inent side feature.
During the day tho crowd that the
Traction company cared for numbered
Into tho tens of thousands. The
service was strikingly excellent, mora
so In fact than upon many previous
holidays.
THE CROWDS COME HOME.
Toward evening when tho crowds
filled the various avenues to the city
and home, things began to brighten
up. The sidewalks of Lackawanna
avenue were massed with moving
people. After dark came the fire works
and though there was no especial ex
travagance noted, the general display
was as great as in the past years.
The display on "the hill" and on the
West Side was brilliant and furnished
an attractive picture for the other sec
tions of tho city.
With the return of the crowd also
came more work for the police. Only
four arrests had been made up to
noon, but after that the station house
began to fill. Chief Robllng called Into
use every factor at his command In
keeping order and succeeded. Few ob
noxious oelebrators escaped. Through
out the city many accidents happened
but comparatively few were of a ser
ious nature. '
And the heat! In rounding up a tale
of the day's doings the heat Is the most
bothersome and most omnipotent thing
around. From 12 o'clock noon until
2.30 o'clock the thermometer at Phelps'
drug store fanned Itself at 94. When
the sun went down so went the mer
cury until at 9 o'clock it took a rest
at SI.
HOSPITAL FIRECRACKERS.
Two Little Unfortunates Had Ono
Hlg, Ilully Time.
At the Lackawanna hospital yester
day Dr. J. L. .Andrews, senior physic
ian, and Dr. Frederick Gllbart, the lat
est acquisition to the staff, were kept
busy dressing small wounds, the re
sult of exploding powder.
In all, fourteen cases were treated
at the hospital. Of these the greater
number were small burns and no sep
arate record was kept of them. One
young man, a resident of Raymond al
ley, had his right hand torn by an ex
ploding cannon cracker. His name
could not be learned.
In the afternoon the patients at the
hospital who were able to be out doors
shot off many packages of crackers on
tho lawn In front of the building. These
crackers were the gift of charitable
persons. An Incident of this feeble
celebration was noted by a Trlbuno
reporter. Two little boys, one of whom
was ailllcted with deformed legs and
when admitted to the hospltnl six
months ago could only drag himself
around on hands and knees, und an
other who Is recovering from a serious
Illness, were out on the lawn shooting
oft crackers.
The sick boy moved about In a roll
ing chair, his hands hovlng the wheels.
Tho other could barely walk and when
the boy In the rolling chair lighted his
cracker he would wheel himself away,
the other boy would roll his body on
the ground.
A crowd of urchins from tho alleys
about the hospital had Installed them
selves on the walk outside, pressing
their faces against the iron fence to
watch tho fireworks display of tho
two envied patients. These sturdy
youngsters kept urging the sick boys
to throw the crnckers over the fence,
Tho boy In the chair was twitted when
his fire crackers failed to reach the
mark, a distance of fifteen feet.
"Wats de madder with ye, why don't
you trow It over!" The boy in the
chair answered: "I can't: used to
could."
One cracker, however, reached the
fence and exploded right In the face of
a little fellow who Is probably five
years old. Ho Immedlatey threatened
to get over tho fence and "knock the
stuffln' out o de blokes." A companion
advised him not to do It 'Well w'atfn
Is dey peggln' at mo fer," wahe
DiooutnuTBty retort.
IF WE HAD OUT KNOWN.
Ucor W nr nt Lnku Ariel Mnltos Most
Tempting ilnrcnlns.
The Erie and Wyoming Valley rail
road company took between 1,400 and
1.B0O peoplo to Lake Ariel yesterday.
There were no accidents of any kind
nnd the best of order prevnllcd. Tho
excursionists were carried over In C5
cars. The day was replete with enjoy
ment. Tho local brewing firms engaged In
a beer war nt tho lake and ns a con
sequence towards evening one firm sold
beer two glasses for flvo cents and
another gave It away.

ONLY ONE ALARM.

The first alarm of the day and the
only one up to 2 o'clock this morning
was sent in from box 23, corner of
John Btreet and Ash street at 11 o'clock

ST. LUKE'S EXCURSION.
Sunday School's Annual Picnic
it lid lie Ariel.
St. Luke's Sunday school will have Its
annual picnic at Lake Ariel on Thurs
day. It is especially desired that this
shall be made, as has been the case of
late years, a parish outing; that a large
numbed of members of the congrega
tion will accompany the Sunday school.
The train will leave the Erie and Wy
oming railroad station at 8.30 a. m.
Children's tickets, 40 cents; adults, 75
cents.
The experience of several recent ex
cursion nartles makes It wise to give
notice to beware of professional pick
pockets a the station. At the lake
Mr. Neff will be prepared to supply Ice
cream and other refreshments. Music
has been arranged for. Several mem
bers of the best orchestra In the city
have been engaged for the day.
WHEELMAN'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Rubber Tires Saved Him from n
Shock of Electricity.
At 9 o'clock a Laurel Hill car slipped
Its fender at the corner of Adams
and Lackawanna avenue and tho trav
eler on the trolley caught the main
wire at Its Juncture with the span and
tore down 1oth. There were several
narrow escapes.
A bicyclist, who wns riding along
with tho car, was struck on the arm
by the flying wire. With a yell he shot
ahead, disentangling himself as he did
so. Electricians say that only the
rubber tires of the wheel saved him
from a perhaps fatal shock.
Traffic on the Laurel Hill line was
delayed for twenty minutes or until
the repair wagon arrived and mended
the break.

astic. Crowd During tho Duy nud
Evotiing"Thrilllng Exhibition by

Spirited Athletic Evonts.-Woll-Known
Scotoh-Amorlcnns Con
ducted tho Affair.
The Caledonian gnmes at Laurel Hill
park were th? principal attraction In
the city during the arternoon, and
thousands of people enjoyed the sports
and watched the marvelous exhibition
given by tho De Comaa on the blcyclo
and trapese fifty feet above the ground.
The woman rode an "ordinary" wheel
along the wire which was stretched
across from one tree to another at a
point near the ladles' pavilion. Direct
ly beneath the wheel was suspended a
trapese upon which tho man perform
ed, and to say that their work was
thrilling Ib putting It mildly. They
gave two performances, one Immedi
ately after the athletic contests In the
afternoon and another In the evening
at o o'clock.
It required fifty trolley cars on the
Laurel Hill line to transport th&
thousands who saw the games. The
cars ran on a one-minute schedule nil
afternoon and It waB the exception,
particularly from 1.30 to 5 o'clock, that
a car contained less than 50 persons.

possible on any but a double-track
lino. It Is estimated that nearly 10,000
persons were In the park during the day

STABBED IN THE HEAD.
Hangnrlnns Discnss to tho Limit the
Venning ol the I'ourlh.
Two Hungarians got Into a discus
sion over the meaning of tho Fourth
of July In 'Mahon's saloon, on Fourth
street, last night, when George Drury
lak drew his knife nnd slashed nt
Steve Rosnoc. Tho blado entered Ros
noc's head. He was taken to the Lack'
awanna hospital.
Drurylak was arrested by Patrolman
Bloat, Detective Dyer and Specials
Duhigg and Fcrrell. He was found In
hiding in the cellar of his house, on
First street, and was locked In the
police station. He will be sent to the
county Jail today to await the result
of Rosnoc's Injuries.
At the hospital Dr. Andrews found
that Itosnoc 1b not seriously hurt. A
largo scalp wound on the left side
of the head Is the only Injury. The
skull Is not affected.
Both Rosnoc nnd Drurylak are mar
ried men. Drurylak last night dis
claimed any part In the affray. He was
drunk.
HIS LITTLE GIRL WITH HIM.
An Innbrlnto Found in a Hhnmcfnl
Condition Yesterday.
The names of prisoners was a thing
unthought of nt the police station, last

o'clock laying on the Providence road
in a beastly state of intoxication.
