LUTIIER C. SMITH, Superintendent. AFTER THE FOURTH OF JULY. We put him to bed in his little night gown, The most battered youngster there was in the town; Yet he said as he opened his only well eye, "Rah, rah, for the Jolly old Fourth of July!" Two thumbs and eight fingers with lint were tied up, On his head was a bump like an up- Bide down cup. And hid smile was distorted, and his nose all awry, From celebrating the glorious Fourth of July. We were glad; he had started abroad with the sun, And all day had lived in the powder and fun; While the boom of the cannun roared up to the sky, To salute Young America's Fourth of July. X said we were glad all the pieces were there, As we plastered and bound them with tenderest care. But out of the wreck came the words with a sigh, "If to-morrow was only the Fourth of July!" He will grow all together again, neve* fear, And be ready to celebrate freedom next year; Meanwhile all his friends are most thankful there lies, A crackerless twelvemonth 'twixt Fourth of Julys. We kissed him good night on his pow der-specked face, We laid his bruised hands softly'down in their place; As he murmured, as sleep closed his one open good eye, "I wish every day was the Fourth of July!" —Good Roads.

After considerable discussion of the matter, in which Mr. Burton charged Mr. Schwabe with having moved his (Schwabe's) line to correspond to Walnut street after he had laid out the lots in 1880, so as to correspond with the viewers' report of 1880, while tho street was a township road, it was finally decided to have the street opened and fences moved according to line given by Mr. McNair and the viewers who laid it out In 1880, that Is twenty-live feet wide from curb to curb.

Mr. Rude wick then presented a receipt signed by the burgess, showing that he had paid a line of $5 for violating the bicycle ordi nance, which money was not credited iu the burgess' roceipts. It was on motion decided that tho secretary notify the burgess to comply with section 3 of chapter 22, of the borough ordinances, which relates to tho payment of all balances within a certain time.

Tho first loss to Luzerne's volunteer regiment, the Ninth, befell Company 11, that typical body of soldiers whose record of enlisting to a man at Mt. Gretna has won for them so much com mendation. It was early Sunday morn ing that Corporal William Gilmartin, aged 20 years, a young man of high esteem among his follow soldiers, suc cumbed to typhoid fever after an illness only extending over two weeks. Young Gilmartin's condition did not give his friends at Pitts ton, which is his home, much concern, and only on Saturday his father was in receipt of most cheer ing news from one of the surgeons. Tho news of his death, therefore, was a severe shock when announced by a telegram Sunday afternoon, and i o tho least shocked was Captain Flannery, of his company, who was at his home in Pittston on a furlough. The deceased soldier was a young man, esteemed most highly for his amiable qualities, and in the regiment and his own company ranked high for his knowledge of mili tary tactics. He is survived by his father, Charles Gilmartin, and by a brother and sister. The remains havo been shipped home and reached Pittston on Tuesday evening. One lloriy Recovered.

Independence Day was celebrated very quietly in Freeland, oven the amount of fireworks sent oil being less than the average.

Terrific Tiopical Storm Interferes Willi Operations of Troops and Fleet—Samp son and Sliafter Confer in Compliance With Orders From Washington—Present Situation of Our Forces Now Investing Cuban Territory. Washington, July 7.—Secretary Al ger, after the cabinet meeting Tues day, announced that there would be no assault on Santiago until after the ar rival of reinforcements or until Admi ral Sampson had effected an entrance to the harbor with his ships. The president seat word to General Shatter to confer with Sampson on the situation. Reports from General Shatter said that a terrific tropical storm had caus ed the surf to run so high that it would be impossible to land troops from transports or for Admiral Sampson to enter the harbor of Santiago until it subsided. General Shafter, in a dispatch receiv ed Monday night, confirmed the report that General Pando, with about 6,000 Spaniards, had arrived in the city and were already distributed among the for tifications. This reinforcement makes the Span ish forces defending the city from six teen to eighteen thousand men. The very great advantage of being in trenched adds materially to their strength, and in the opinion of military men makes their lighting force from a third to a half greater than our own. General Shafter in his dispatches states that the excessive heat and rains of the last two weeks have contributed nearly as much as the Spanish bullets to the casualties among our men. Under these circumstances it is his opinion it would be unwise to attempt to carry the city by assault. This view is shared by the officials here and also It is understood by Admiral Sampson, In command of the fleet. Orders were given looking to the im mediate dispatch of troop ship., from Tampa with reinforcement* •.r Shaf ter and others now off Santiago will he brought here at the earliest possible moment to aid in the transportation. It is probable that at. least 15,000 will be sent forward as rapidly as the trans portation can be provided. Thus augmented, there seems to he no doubt that the force under General Shafter will be able to storm and take the city without delay. These are the views entertained by members of the ?ablnet, who talk freely on the subject. Nevertheless, the orders under which both the army and navy are now op erating gives commanders wide discre tion, and it is not doubted that should changed circumstances seem to war rant an aggressive movement. Gen. Shafter made a report to Wash ngton Sunday and Secretary Alger cabled the President's thanks to the General. All of Shafter's report was lot made public. In part he said: "We have the town well invested on the north and east, but with a very hin line. Upon approaching it we find t of such a character and the defense s so strong that it will be impossible 0 carry it by storm with my present !orce. Our losses will aggregate a thousand, but the list has not yet been made. There is very little sickness imong the men. Gen. Wheeler is seri )usly ill and will probably have to go .o the rear to-day. Gen. Young is also very ill. Gen. Hawkins was slightly wounded in the foot. Gen. Garcia re ports that he holds the railroad from Santiago to San Luis, and has burned 1 bridge and removed some rails; also .hat Gen. Pando has arrived at Palma, ind that the French Consul with about 100 French citizens came into his line from Santiago." Gen. Shafter cabled to Washington l partial list of officers killed and wounded at Santiago. Before Santiago, July 7.—With the destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet the work of taking Santiago becomes much less difficult. As long as Gen eral Shafter had no siege guns and could not be assisted by a friendly fleet in the harbor, the capture of the city promised to be a hard task, and it would be practically impossible to hold the city if captured. It is now estimated that between 1,- 100 and 1,500 Americans are dead, woun ded or missing after the two days' fighting about Santiago. It is stated by one of the surgeons who assisted in the hospital work that probably 250 to JOO Americans were killed. No official list or official estimate of the dead and wounded can be obtained vet. Unofficial estimates place our los ses as high as 2,000, and to date 450 men suffering from wounds that are not serious have been brought to the hos pital. Our surgeons have not enough supplies, bandages or nurses. The medical staff is too small. Washington, July 7. —General Miles reports that from information he has received from General Shafter he be lieves that the Spanish army has lost fully 7,0000 men, killed and wounded. In addition there are 2,000 prisoners in the hands of the Americans. The Am erican loss will not exceed 150 killed and 800 wounded. Tha most of these are only slightly injured. The above figures only include the Spanish land forces. The 1,700 sailors captured, including Admiral Cervera, wi'U be transferred to General Shafter's custody at once.
