Ono was told on n street corner lnstnight. It seems that several years nco the dav was to pass at Port Carbon without observance. "Tom" Bull, a good nntured nnu patriotic ennracter, did not like the Idea, so he walKed to Pottsville nnd hired a colored band, walking back to Port Carbon at its head withn monster bounuet ot nowersinoneot nisuanus. un tue wny ue coaxeu an uystanders nnu wnytarers to fall In behind tho bnnd nnd by this plan succeeded in makim; (mite n respect able parade. They inarched to the ceme tery and decorated tho graves. Bull had promised that the band would be paid auu niter tne ceremonios he was besieged by the musicians. Penni less, uut not discouraged, Bull pre pared n subscription paper nnd went nmong his townsmen solicitinir sub scriptions. Tho llrst man lie struck was Joe Eisenach, who wouldn't "come down." But finnlly consented to put Ills name on the list for 5, with the under standing that it was only to serve ns n starter, and 1C did. The wheel went roll ing nnd Ball succeeded in collecting &X). He then opened negotiations with tho leader of the band and compromised with him for $30. Bull owed Eisenach $15 nnd learning that tho former had some money Eisenach hunted Bull un nnd offered to settle by throwing hnlf oil. Bull said he would consider theproposition if Eisenach would "set 'em up lor the boys nnd the Intter agreed, The boys were trcate.l and, not to be outdone, Bull called for another round at his own exnensu and then said, ''Boys, Joe hasmadean offer to settle uy throwing oil one-hall mv bin. Xow I'll be hanired If I'm coinir to beout- done in liberality, so I'll throw oil mv nan. - xue uoya urntiK mill's treat and had n laugh at Elsennch's expense. As the parade of May 30. 1883. was on South White street nnd the head of the first division almost reached Centre street. nu alarm of fire was sounded nnd the exodus of firemen from the ranks nlmost broke up the parade. The fire was in Kowse's flour nnd feed warehouse. frame building on the lot opposite the Lehigh VnUcy depot nnd owned by the railroad company, it was leased urounu. The buildhiir and its contents were des troyed nnd on account of the proximity to the depot the company refused to allow another minding to be erected upon it. It was lucky the comnnuv so decided, for had n building stood there- on the morn ing of November 12th of the samo ycur there is no doubt that the greater part of the First ward would have been swept by the flames. The big break between the west side of Plum nlley and the eust side of the railway tracks gave the fireman nu excellent cnance to save that part oi the town.

Next was rendered by Councilman Lamb his lavorlle decla mation, "John Burns of Gettysburg," and it may sometime in the pnst been better given, but It never delighted a sympa thetic nuuience ior a longer time since tne war. Esquire Cnrdln next took the floor with n sonc and showed thnt he had the tune nnd knew his lines. Tax Receiver Scanlan responded to "Taxes Collected and Uncollected," nnd his tribulations In procuring the lubricating material to keen the machine Koing aroused the sympathies of his hearers. After a general song had been sandwiched In by the pomeroy nnd btrouse combination. the niece do restnnce of the evening was given by Councilman Hand on "The Thomas James on "The Minority, its Power nnd Weaknesses." The gentleman pnthetlcally portrayed how weak was the minority's power nnd how many nnd great Its weaknesses, especially with n busted water dam on tho boroucu's bauds. Chief Martin O'Hara then answered for "The Police Force" and Councilman Knne for "The new Wnter Dam." nfter which the bachelor members of the party were given n chance, and a jollier time never took nlaco than when Conncilmnn Meluskey told how the unmnrrled men had to do the work of Council in order that the married men might go home early. Councilman McElhenny followed with a beautiful peroration on the same subject which would hnve been) longer had the clover club interruption been dis pensed with. After a song in true Lithu aninn by Officer Wulnltts, Couuciluinn Dougherty gave his reasons why "Mnr- riaire was not n failure." As this member from two wards has never had a chnnce to know anvthinu of the vicissitudes of wedded life, nil wondered how lie ever learned so much about this pet subject of his, The speechmnklng was ended by a masterly effort by Treasurer Bradigan on "Protection." which will recommend him ns a member of the Henry Clay league soon to bo formed In town.
