VOL. VI. INDEPENDENCE DAY The record of One More Fourth of July. WHAT WAS DONE IN ST. PAUL. The Old Fashioned Celebration of Fire men and Regatta. A GENERALLY QUIET OBSERVANCE Notes of the Proceedings at Outside Points. ACCIDENTS LIGHTER THAN USUAL. A SI. Paul Boy Shot in the Head, a Hand Torn and a Thigh Wounded. THE FOURTH IN ST. PAUL. The great national sky-rocket, torpedo, tire-cracker, and general saltpeter day, with all its coise and racket, and general hubbub has passed. The headaches are gradually disappearing, and the maimed limbs are being attended to. In St. Paul the day was very generally observed, and the observances which commenced early and lasted late w<=,re of an unusually noisy ch-aracter. Many of our people left town for the various lakes and general summer resort?, the shooting parks and picnic grounds. With the exception of one se rious accident and two or three minor one--, the day psssed off without anything requiring more special mention than will be found below. Pioneer Hook and Ladder Xo. 1. The nineteenth annual celebratidn of the old volunteer fire company that did such efficient service in fighting fire in the days when the steam fire engine was not within the reach, of the then young city of St. Paul, was held in Mar ket hall yesterday. The attendance was not large for the reason that it was not understood generally that this was to be on a larger scale than usual. In former years these annual gatherings have been held at one of the engine houses, but this year it was determined to occupy larger quarters. Several prominent citizens were present, and responded to calls for speeches. The address of welcome of Mr. Frank Breuer was earnest and heartfelt. He con- } gratulated each other that there were no I eruptions in our government. Our flag is honored and respected, and its influence is felt throughout the world. The republic had withstood powerful revulsions within and had not been disrupted. Its progress in science and art, in commerce and m population has been so rapid that it is now the foremo it nation on tho globe. The music for the occasion was furnished by an original quartet, which has long existed, consisting of R. C. Manger? Wil- \ liam Wilson, John X. Davidson, Hubert ! Miller and J. IE. Hanson, organist And the .-o:i£s sung were those old familiar tunes that till tho feonj with patriotic fire, I and never lose their power to influence i the heart. Each member of the quartet did their level best, and sang for alt there was in it. John X. .aid he had intended j to spend the Fourth in Montana, but he i could::': resist the temptation to join the j "old quartet" on this occasion, and arrived just iv time to take a hand in. The songs sung were ''The Star Spangled Banner," "Red, White and Blue," "Rally Round the Flag." •■Au.'d Lang Syne," "Yankee Doodle," and "America." Speeches were made by F. R. Delano, Alderman Johnson and Dr. Day, all of which were appropriate to the day and the occasion. Mr. I. V. D. Heard delivered an oration of great excellence. Its length precludes its publication entire, and only a brief synopsis is here given. Mr. Heard commenced by saying that after the long and cruel winter, almost unprecedented for its severity, the turning year gladdens our hearts again with this noon of summer, this imperial month, gorgeous July. With joyous smile this benignant, glowing, fruitful daughter of the year comes to us bearing lavish gifts in both her hands. The dove has built her nest in the helmet of Mars. As a nation the crowned heads of the world pay us en forced respect, and the poor of every land, crushed under tho iron heel of unnum bered centuries of bondage and want, now look up to us as to the light of the eternal san — look up to us for their year of jubiiee. Under the protecting spirit of our nationality the rights of an American citizen are protected abroad as nearer before. Never before, in even our land were the rights, the interest and the opportunities of the individual so ful ly cared for. Even the president of the United States dare not place his heel on the neck of the humblest mendicant, so se cure are we in our personal rights. There is no power in the state to take away a man's life •>- property without th 9 consent Of twelve of his neighbors. The speaker paid a glowing tribute to the heroes of the revolution, to the signers of the Declaration of Independence, who inscribed their names to that imperishable roll so legibly that George 111. could read them from across the Atlantic; to the foreign-born citizen of every clime, who so loved the in stitutions of his adopted home that he was ready to give his life that the national honor should be untarnished. In -»caking of the tomb of Washington and ttu reverence aad respect given it, he quoted from Lord Brougham, the distin guished English statesman, "It will be the duty of the historian of all nations to let no occasion pass of commemorating this illustrious man, and until time shall be no more, will a test of the progress which our race has made in wisdom and virtue be de rived from the veneration paid to the im mortal name of Washington." The oration throughout wa3 listened to with the closest attention, and many pas sages wara greeted with bursts of ap plause. majob bbwbox. Major T. M. Newson was called for, and a3 he is always happy in thought, fluent in speech, and ha* in store a rich fund of mental treasures for willing ears, we ap pend hia remarks as they were taken down: '•A real, o!d fashioned Fourth of July cs!e' ration is one of the events of the modern age, aud nowhere is this more amply or more earnestly exemplified than on the present occasion, where tin*e" and show give place to real merit, and ear nest and genuine patriotism rules the hour. The singing, the speeches, the exu berance of feeling shown here to-day, all attest the love of country and the joy which springs from manly hearts, devoted to the welfare of a nation which, for power and for greatness, is unparalleled in the history of the world, and at your earnest call I cheerfully add my voice' to swell the grand anthem. So much has been said, I and so well said, that I find but little left from which to draw inspiration, and yet, upon an occasion like this, the very air seems to be filled with patrio tic spirits, who electrify the brain with thoughts that glow and thoughts that j know of the trying days of '7G and the ' more glorious days of '83. The march of events in the United States of America have been rapid and grand during the past 100 years. A few | day since I saw in Chicago, the first loco- I motive made by Stephenson, in Europe, and the first locomotive made in ths country whose estimated speed was six- j tsen miles par hour. Siw also the first ; narrow and cramped cars. Then the evfc I rested upon a huge locomotive, four times ' the size of the original invention, and ! whose speed was 100 miles per hour, and I entered the palace cars where the draam of ] the Arabian Nights was turned to reality. ! I sat under the glare of a thousand elec- ! trie lights, while tallow candles glimmered in the dim past. I ascendai to the. dome I Of the exposition building in an elevat or quicker than thought, and glided I over the heads of the andience in a car j drawn by < L-ctricity at the rate of three quarters of c mile in two minutes. From ] the rubbish oi history I glean the fact that there were thirteen states; now we have thirtj -ev/ht states and ten territo- Eighl hundred and twenty thousand, odd s.iuare milts composed the original j thirteen state?, while ye tow have three millions five hundred and lifty-nice i thousand and ninety-one square miles in this great and growing country. In 1790, or less than lo<? years ago, we had a popu- j latiou of three millions nine hun dred and twenty-nine thousand throe | hundred and twenty-eight. Of these nearly 700,000 were then slaves. We now ' number over 50,000,000 inhabitants, and no j slave clanks his chains or treads our soil, i In 1807 Robert Fulton ascended the Hud- i son river in his first steamboat. Look cow at the gigantic strides of steam since then, and mark the floating palaces that adorn the ocean and our , largest rivers. The first steamboat that Bailed on the Mississippi was launched at i Pittsburg in 1811, and now we have hun- ! dreds of steamers two and three hundred ! feet Jong, with all the appurtenances of i first class hotels. As an instance, note I the City of St. Paul, which, only a few j days ago rode at ease at our levee. The ; first railway was constructed in Ma?sa- i chusetts in 1826, and the cars were drawn j by horses, and the first passenger railway \ was in 1830 — fifteen miles long. That j was only fifty-three years ago. and now we \ can trace our railway tracks for thou- i sands and thousands of miles, and our ; cars aggregate into millions. Tho introduction of whar ,is known ' as the cotton gin in 17'Ji created a great i revolution in The producrion of cotton, as irated the seed frsm the fibre. Be- \ fore this invention the annual crop of cot- ; ton was about 4,000 pounds, now it j 0,000 pounds. In 1832 Morse need his telegraphio experiments. Now, hundn ds of thousands of mil wire thread every part of our country. In i 177G In r was first discovered as valuable to remove lead pencil marks. Now. [ndia rubber has become almost a part of our existence. Gaa made its appearance '■. and it is only a year since electric ity c ime in to supplant its use. Great a has been the progress of ail the arts and sciences, the greatest achievement has been that of the print- ' ing press, which now receives upon its cylinder, paper four and one-half miles in length: cuts and prints on both sides ; from 12,000 to 15,000 sheets in an hojr, or ! 200 per minute. Next to this comes the i sewing machine, which first made its ap- I pearance in 1850, or only thirty -three yeais ] ago; §40,000,000 of capital is employed in ! its manufacture, and in 1873, 600,000 ma- ! chines were made. Our manufacturing j interests have stepped to the front won- ' derfully fast, for in 1790 the annual value ! of oar manufactured goods was $20,000,- I 000; they now reach the enormous sum of j $4,839,000,000, and over 2,500,000 persons I were employed in the factories. "But time will not allow me to continue J these figures. The greatness of our oountry can be fully ap preciated when I state that in the great war of the rebellion the North had an army of 2,653,000 men, and ! the South 549,000 men. Five hundred and I eighty-one thousand soldiers were killed or died upon the field of battle, and out of this great revolution millions of slaves I were liberated, and America became what she ought to have been in 177(3, a truly j free and independent nation. But whatever progress has been made in j the material elements of our country, the | fire department cf the nation has kept j pace with all its companions. The little | l)ox engine of six by nine, worked by hand, has given place to the mammoth i steam engine with its immense ' power and its immense triumph. Men of j brain and of plucK and of alertness now adorn the lire department, while the past, I with all its paraphernalia and its useful- I ness, lias passed into history. Fires are now put out before they commence; horses are '• trained to smell tne smoke, and even get ' into harness ere the electric wire rings the ! bell for an alarm; and when that takes i place, men move with the quickness of an- j gels, and iusurance agents grow fat over j the progress of events. All hail the noble | fire department, the gallant Hook and Lad- | der company, the star spangled banner, I our glorious country, and the Fourth of j July, 1583." At the conclusion of Major Newson's remarks the exercises closed, and the old pioneer veterans repaired to the ante room to partake of refreshments. It is proper to remark here that Mayor O'Brien, who was on the programme for an address, was unable to be present until too late, on account of the many engage ments he had on hand. His absence was much regretted. Minnesota Boat Club. The tenth annual regatta of the Minne; sota Boat club was held yesterday under very favorable auspices. The day was as fine as could be asked for. The sun was clouded over during the forenoon just enough to make it pleasant and agreeable, so that all the races and ceremonies pass ed off very &ucce sfully. At the hour of commencing, the Great Western band which had been stationed in the grove, opened the exercises of the day with a suitable selection which was followed by the nrst race. All the races wer^ iowed over the club course, from the boat house ore mile up stream and return. The first one was the junior singli sauils I for the Corning prize. There were but two entries for this: J. J. O'Leary, Jr. and M. J. Boyle, and the race was won by the former in seventeen minutes and three quarters. The second was the senior single sculls for the Jilson prize. The entries were P. W. Parker, N. Wright and K. Smith. The race was won by Parker in fifteen minutes and eighteen seconds, the men coming in in the order named. The third race was the junior four oared shells, for the Mayor's cup and gold oars. The "Itasca" carried cherry colors, and was manned as follows : K. Smith, stroke; A. S. Hall, 3;W. S. Hall, 2; C. B.Gilbert, bow. The "Acker" carried white colors, with the following crew: W. H. Mingaye, stroke; A. J. Dean, 3; M. J. Boyle, 2; G. C. Squires, bow. The race was pretty close at the outcome, and was won by the "Itasca" in 15:56%. The fourth race was the double sculls, for the silver cups. J. J. Parker, stroke, and A. F. Schiffmann, bow, sailed under the cherry color, while P. W. Parker, stroke, and N. Wright, bow, went under the blue. The cherry won in 14.31. Previous to the next race the ceremony of naming the new boat was very briefly and gracefully performed by Mr. William Rhodes, who according to the well known forms named it the "Mississippi."' The sixth race was for tho senior four oared shells, for the citizens' cup. The entries were the "Potomac," color white. manned by G. W. James, stroke: W. M. Becker, 3; W. 11. Lightner, i.'; W. S. Getty, bow: and the "Peoria," coiorbiue. manned by W. H. Hyudman, stroke; A. McLarin, 3; J. J. Parker, 2;H. M. Butler, bow. This race was won by the "Potomac" crew in 13:13. The usual humorous transaction of the tub race followed. The prize was a pilver tub. the distance beicff .".A.) feet, and the race was v/on by B. Marshall. The swim ming race for a prize of a gold sea shell, distance 500 feet, was won by James Elmer. Pl.lv-iENTATION OF PEIZES. The contests having all been ended and the prizes lost and won, the ceremony of presenting the prizes followed. The pa vilion was crowded by those wishing to witness this ceremony/and every seat and rail was festooned with gaily dressed la dies and children who struggled for an opportunity to look over the top of their neighbor's broad hats and high feathers. The first presentation was made by Mayor O'Brien, and consisted of the Mayor's cup bestowed upon the junior four oared shells. The mayor spoke in complimentary terms to the winning crew, and briefly and humorously referred ; to the manly sport of rowing and the ad vantages to be derived from it. The Citizens' cup was presented to the senior four-oared shells by Hon. P. H. Kelly, who addressed the winning crew substantially as follows: "It gives me pleasure to present to you this prize, as a tokeD both of your suc cess and as a mark of osteom and pride which the citizens of St. Paul feel in your organization. Your club has done much both for the social and muscular develop ment of its members, aud I am proud to say it has become one of the institutions of St. Paul. This trophy which I now present to you is only one of the numerous ones which members of your club have won, and every one cf which you have fully merited." The Corning prize was presented by Miss Forepaagh; the Jilsor. prize by Mips Napier; Hie double scull prize by Miss Rhepard; the swimming prize by Mro. Gso. Acker, and the tub race prize by Miss Draper. Thus was ended the tenth annual regatta of the Minnesota Boat club. The attendance was very large and gratifying, and everything passed oil very pleasantly indeed. The Temperance Celebration. The celebration at Red Rock was a very pleasant and long to be remembered oc casion to those who were present. Exten sive preparations were made by those on the ground, of whom there was a large number staying over from the camp meet ing. The people began coming in on the early train, and though there was not nearly so many present as last Sunday, there were enough, so that after many had gone home via boats and trains the special train at 6:30 was crowded so much that a great many could not get on at all and were compelled to remain for later trains. All present spent an enjoyable day, many making of it a veritable picnic, list ening to the speaking in the forenoon and attending the concert given by the jubi lee singers in the afternoon. All was cool, quiet and peaceful with no roughs to disturb. The morning exercises were under the charge of Mrs. H. A. Hobart and commenced with singing by the Re form club followed with prayer by Mrs. Neil, of Minneapolis. After a song by jubilee singers, Mrs. Hobart made a few introductory remarks Baying that we are now under a curse greater by far than slavery, and that the women of this country were now present ing not only the evils, but the remedy for this curse. Mrs. Aldnch, of lowa, said that we are li%-ing in the present but for the future; it is seventy-five years eiuce the first tem perance organization, and tho amazing difference between temperance then and now is shown by the fact that then all they wished was to keep a man from becoming drunk too often. A brief history of the progress of tem perance through all its different stages was then givea. Mrs. Aidrich is a very able and clear speaker, possessed with an abundant fund of wit. Rev. F. J. Wagner was then introduced, and after paying a tribute to the address just given by Mrs. Aidrich, he spoke of his hope that the temperance coarse would succeed because it is of God. He also thought the liquor traffic unconstitu tional, to prove which he asked if the ragged, weak-kneed drunkard seen in the streets was not a slave in the fullest sense of the word. Dr. Chaffee then spoke briefly, saying that it was a pleasure for him to speak where all lines of temperance workers were represented and working for the same thing. He said he was working for prohi bition in the Republican party, and that he was succeeding and rather enjoyed the fact that the Pioneer Press was opposed to him as he thought that by that opposition he stood a better show than if they were for him. W. W. Satterlee then spoke, keeping the audience in a cheer all the time. He spoke of the rum traffic az a bad tumor, fastened on Dnele Sam. Muny physicians had treated the case and had perhaps done i oma good bat they were all on a par with the last one whom he called Dr.Repnblicar. In taking the case this doctor wa3 going to make use of the knife and tak6 the tu mor out roots and all. but after he was en gaged and had taken the case it was found ST. PAUL, MIXK, THURSDAY MORNIXG, JULY 5, 1883. he had gone over to an entirely different school of medicine. and now all he wantel was to get some thing which would quiet the family, if not the patient. This was followed with a song by the jubilee singers, entitled '"March on and you will gain the victory." The jubilee singers' concert in the after noon was given to a large and apprecia tive audience, who encored them many times, more especially Mr. Jenkens, the big boss, whose "jolly good laugh"' was echoed by the whole audience. 1 Honw Casualties. Edward Schulze, aged about fifteen, a brother of J. H. Schulze, of the firm of McDonald & Schulze, was accidentally shot yesterday forenooD, and will probably die. He was standing on the sidewalk on the corner of Sixth and Pine streets abort 10 o'clock in the forenoon, in company with a lad named Martini, celebrating the Fourth with a revolver. The boys were taking turns shooting, and young Schulze had just pissed the weapon to Martini, in whose hands it was accidentally discharge 1 , the contents of one, chamber of the rt Iv hitting young Schulza in the heac t; ball penetrating the skull about on 3 men above and forward of the right ear ai lodging in the brain. He was at at removed to the residence of Mt.J.H.S j! a brother, corner of Tenth and sir. i?. Dr.=. Dedolf and Ohage re called, ; and pronounced the wound tal, there being nut more than one ehanc ten in the boy's favor. No effort maJi to probe for the ball as it v- era I still farther endanger the lad's life. About 11 o'clock yesterday a Swede, nams unknown, on Rosabel street, acci dentally -hot himself in the thigh while carelessly handling a revolver, Dr. Ohage pronounced it a flesh wound and not dan gerous. A Norwegian, named Peterson, near Seventh and Willius streets, was accident ally shot in the hand, while celebrating with a loaded revolver. AT STILL WATER. Probably there never was a greater number of people in Stillwater at one time than were present yes terday. At an early hour in the morning the vast concourse began to assemble and by 8 o'clock the streets were literally impassable. The weather was all that could be desired, Old Sol coming up behind a cloud as if ashamed to show his face. Bat this nctictious by play did not last long, and by 9 o'clock the rays of the grand luminary were bright enough to suit the most exacting. The citizens had deter mined en a grand gala day, and each one was seemingly willing to do his part to accomplish the desired end. The stores and business places generally were gayly decked with streamers and miniature flag?. A very fine arch was extended across Chestnut street from the Cassico 10 a building opposite. According to previous arrangement the component parts of the procession were to meat on the ball ground at an early hour in the morning, there to form the order of march. At'.):'3O the front ranks of Company X wheeled into Chestnut airur-t. preceded by iliiynors hand, with a platoon of police in the ..mediate front, In rear of Conrpany X were the Crusaders, followed by the Knights of Pythias, the Sons of Herman, Cadels of Temperance and a juvenile mili tary company. The societies named, with Company E made ap the first division. The second division was made up of representatives of the various business in terests of the city, interspersed with a fey comic features, all preceded by the Still waterband. A large number of citizens in carriages ware in the procession. OS THE LAKE. The announcement that the aquatic sports were about to begin was the signal for the multitude to assemble on the lake shore wherever they could find standing room. It is estimated that not less than six thousand people were present on one place and another. The first was a double scull race, three entries, won by Prince Harper: time 11% minutes. The single scull shell race was won so easily by Rosk Bronson that no record of time was kept. The bateau race was won by Thomas McCarthy, John Brennan and Sandy McDougall; distance, one mile; time nine minutes. In the double scull race one of the boats was ruled out on account of some peculiarity of build. The race was, however, won by the Broth ertons, Kell and Black Jim, as they are called . In the single scull race, free for all, Black Jim was again victorious. The tub race was the source of considerable amusement to the crowd, which was checked in a measure by the upsetting of one of the contestants, who was picked tip by the occupant of one of the boats. The race was finally won by a boy sixteen years old, named Pana Pelletiara. rOINTEBS. Yesterday was the first appearance in public of company '"X," their organization being of recent date, so that too much in the way of military drill should not be ex pected. That the company avquitted themselves in a most creditable manner yesterday, was the generally expressed opinion of all. All of the civic societies appeared at their best, noticeably the Crusaders, who under the teaching of Capt. O'Brien, are making admirable progress towards per fecting themselves in the various evolu tions pertaining to their organization. Considering the immense crowd in the city, but comparatively few drunken men were seen up to 6 o'clock in the evening, and but two arrests had been made. The Wigwam and Music hall were filled to overflowing. Both places did a flour ishing business all day long. Among the spectators not down on the programme was a long tongaed epscimen of humanity with a greasy pack of cards with which he proposed to teach the crowd how to make up their expenses for the day. By putting down twenty-five or fifty cento you get back $10 or $20. Somehow .'all the change laid down found ita way into the pocKet of the expert which was one of the rules of the game. Bat the boss kept on explaining how it was then the boys begun to understand it better and wouldn't, play any more. Louis Shupp, E. (J. Whitney, Louis Sim onet and another young man whose name could not be learned, had been engaged for a number of days past in preparing for the Fourth of July. They had been at the trouble and expense of .procuring an outfit from S:. Paul. The young men were on the ball ground on time with their rig for taking their allotted position in the pro cession, when their team took fright and dished off at breakneck speed. The driver lost all control of the frightened animals, and the boys made their escape in the best way they could from a really perilous position. Fortunately none of the four were injured. at FA&MDrctrojr. [Special Telegram to the Globe. 1 Fakmington, July 4. — The day opened with a very light fall of rain, enough to lay the dust. At about 9a. m. the clouds began to clear up and the rest of the day was all that could be desired. From 9a. m. until 12 m. the roads leading to the grove where the camps of the soldiers were located were filled with teams loaded down with men, women and children, all bent on having a good time, and they had it. The exercises of the day commenced at 11 a. m. and at that hour there were be tween 2.000 and 3,000 people gathered on the grounds. The exercises were opened by music by the Farmintrton choir, fol lowed by prayer by the Rev. Mr. Thomp son, after which the choir gave a choice selection. Prof. T. A. Weld next - read the Declaration of Independence, and the professor showed that he was no novice as a reader. It was plain to see that he ranked with the best. " After music by the choir the Ray. S. G. Smith, of yonr city, the orator of the day, wa3 introduced, and he gave us the finest oration ever given in the county . It was one of his happiest efforts. Time and -•••ace will not permit of even giving you a synopsis of it, but will try to get his ora tion in full for you. Everyone i- in iptures over it. After the address tho r ildiers and their wives partook of a catnp dinner. Others lunched together and spent tha time until 2:30 p. ni., forming hot acquaintances and renewing oid ones. At 2::J0 the old soldiers went through their drill, and showed plainly that they had not forgotten the manual of arms. After drilling for half a a hour, then came the sham battle, which was admirably managed and carried out. The charge was made in the grove and up over a hill into a lot of underbrush, where the Johnnie Kebs lay concealed. The charge, the repulse, and then the charge again and final rout, then carrying off the wounded and dying. This was a perfect success. In fact, all of the boys in blue were carried back to the years of 1861-2 --3-4, and all that were not participants were forcibly reminded of how the war was carried on. It needed the graphic pen of Capt. J. D. Wood to do the subject jus tice. After the battle the soldiers all gathered together and gave three cheers for Rev. S. G. Smith, and they gave them vith a vim. A great deal of credit is due the committee of arrangements for the i tinier in which they have conceived and c rented all of the details of to-day and t o crowd will long remember the Fourth ai Farmington. A great many from abroad were present, prominent among whom was the genial face of Capt. Webster, of Marshall, Lyon county, Minn. The day closed with a dramatic entertain ment by the Farmington Dramatic club. All of the seats have been taken at this writing aud no standing room and people are goin^ away unable to gain admittance. ELSEWHERE. Interesting Ceremonies in Xcir York City, Is'ew York, July 4. — The Fourth was a holiday hereabouts. The First company, Washington Continental Guards, Charles ton, South Carolina, took part this morn ing with the veterans of ISI2 in raising the flag -,'. the battery, after which they visited Washington's headquarter , Broad street, marched across Brooklyn bridge and took steamboat for Newburgh, where they visit ed Washington's headquarters. The cadets of the Military Institute of Virginia I marched shortly after 9 this morning from the Sixty-ninth regiment armory to the Fifth Avenue hotel, where, after stacking arms in the corridor, they en tered the reception room, wheie President Arthur awaited them. Address ing the cadet corps he said : "Gentlemen of the corps of cadets : I am glad your visit to this city, upon the errand of peace and good will which has turned your steps hitherward, affords me the opportunity and pleasure of presenting these diplomas to the members of your graduates. I regret other engagements will prevent my pres ence at the city hall when you discharge your interesting mission, but I wish here to express my hope and confidence that henceforth, whenever the flag of a New York regiment shall be assailed, if the gallant soldiers of Virginia are by, they will be prompt and eager to defend it." The president then presented their diplomas to the gradu ates. The cadets then marched to the city hall where they were received by the Corcoran legion and escorted to the gov ernor's room. There were present Mayor Edison, some military gentlemen, mem bers of the board of aldermen and twenty five veterans of the lG4th regiment. The flag was then presented, a collation fol lowed and the cadets marched back to quarters. . The Fourth passed very quietly at Chi cago, Washington, Cairo and everywhere else, as far as heard from. The Americans ia the City of Mexico celebrated the Fourth with a banquet, at which leading Mexicans, Frenchmen and Spaniards were also present. At Woodstock. Ct. Woodstock, Ct. , July 4. — Henry P. Brooken's Fourth of July celebratioa was i very largely attended, and was in all things a great success. Among those present from abroad were ex-President and Mrs. Hayes, Senator Platt, Bishop Coxe, Congressman Wait, John B. Gough, Miles Standish and many others. Ex- President Hayes was the speaker of the day, his subject being "National Aid to Education." An original poem was re cited by Rev. W. B&con. Senator Wald rick and Bishop Coxe alsa delivered addresses, the celebration concluding with an exhibition of fire works. The Day's Fires. Cincinnati, July 4. — A fire this morning at 178 Main street destroyed the shoe fac tory of Erase, VaupeJ & Co., and damaged by water the stock in the cigar factory of Ullmann, Drayfus & Co., on the lower floors. Total loss $12,000 and insured. Chattanoooa, July 4. — A destructive fire at Garden, Ala., was discovered about noon, and two blocks in the central part of the city, mostly frame house?, were de stroyed. Loss about $100,000; insurance about $40,000. Hersey Brothers <fc Co., general store, were the largest losers; about $40,000. The total loss of MoaJay night's fire a t Astoria, Oregon, are estimated at $225, --000. The Oregon Na\iga:ion company's losses are $75/100. Seven salmon can neries and 15.000 cases of salmon were de stroyed, which will greatly diminish the salmon put. POLITICAL. Arthur's Pro»peets for a Renomiuntion. [Special Teiegram to the Globe.] Washington, July 4. — The politicians in considering the presidential candidates will be wise not to overlook President Arthur. Congressmen who have recently been here have observed that Arthur is gaining in the confidence of the party, and that his administration is becoming stronger with the people. Senator Platt, of Connecticut, said that in New England there was a very kindly feeling towards the president. Gen. Hawley, of the same state, who is in the habit of carefully not ing the tendency of the public feeling, expressed the same opinion . Two of the most prominent Republican representa tives from New York have within a fortnight expressed like views. So have three Ohio RepublicaES. The Republicans of lowa, Minnesota and Ohio have for mally indorsed the administration. Two months ago a prominent New York repre sentative remarked that he did not believe it possible for the president to gain the confidence of the half-breed faction, and that, while the summit of Arthur's ain bitioii might be to have his name supported by the Mew York delegation, that ambition would U6ver be realized. Within ten days the same representative said th".t his view. have changed. A private letter received to-day from an acute political observer in New York, fays it is the general feeling among Republicans that Arthur is a c::n didat&. There is reason to think that the appointment of Gen. Gresham was made with the purpose of showing the old sold iers that their interests were not forgotten. The personal influence of the pre.-iuent has been strongly exerted in behalf of an harmonious reorganization of the Republican party in New York. Some of the president's old political associates, who might embarrass him in efforts to secure Republican har mony, have been given the cold shoulder. The administration has said that the Mikes, and Jakes, and Barneys of New York city politics must go. A few days ago, when a self constituted delegation of those gentlemen came here on a politi cal mission, they did not even get a per sonal interview with the president. Gen. Jtosccrans. [Special Telegram to the Globe. Chicago, July 4. — Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, member of congress from San Francisco, arrived in the city yesterday from Wash ington and left in the afternoon with some friends for Lake Geneva to cool oil and escapo a Chicago Fourth of July. The general was seen by a reporter at the Sherman but was not in any mood to talk politic?. In fact he said he had been for some time past in close attendance on his sick wife and had heard very little about what was going on. 113 thought the Democratic party was going to carry Ohio this year and elect Judge Hoadly, and that would be a big step towards electing tha next president. A Democratic victory in Ohio this fall would encourage the Democrats and would be very hard for the Republicans to explain away. The general said it would be time enough to talk about the speaker ship when the time came, but he thought the party would make a wise selection. He failed, ho\vever,to state what he thought would be a wise selection. In regard to the nominations he said he would talk about that when he returned from Wiscon sin, but that it was too warm to go into such questions now. A Whole Family Killed by a Train.
