The City Hospital. City Dispensary and
the North and South side branches cf the
latter, were crowded with patients as the
result of fights and accident..
At the hospital, the accidents, compares!
with those of the Fourth last year, hardly

were received at the hospital on the na
tional holiday. 17 of which number were
victims of explosions, gunshot wounds and
burns received in setting off fireworks.
There were only two fatalities resulting
from them.
The records at the dispensaries show
that the r.umoer of acclJents by far ex
ceeds that of last year, though they are
not of as serious a nature as In l-t Most
of those who vent to these Institutions
were suffering from tetanus, as the result
of blank cartridkea. and antitoxin was ap

Chicago. July 4. A canvass of tha
casualties In the United States madA br
the Chicago Record-Herald shows forty
three dead and 1J31 Injured.
The returns up to midnight show that
the "safe and sane" celebration of tfc
Fourth of July is still a thing of tbe fu
ture. It wiU be gratifying to advocates of in
dependence Day reform, however, to know
that while the number of casualties runs
well up to the records of previous years,
the mishaps, taken as a whole, are not so
serious as In other years.
Here Is th way the more severe acci
dents sre classlfled:
Runaways. 31; toy pistols. S7; powder
burns. 1S3: firearms. ITS; cannon. 8; fga
works. l.Ptf.
The fireworks referred to in this list In
clude the smaller kind of firecrackers and
other explosives with which the children
celebrate.
In Chicago there was not a single fa
tality during tbe day or night, and MC
Louis makes a similar report.
The giant firecracker and the toy can
non were responsible for many of ths
mure serious accidents. The torpedo can
r
was more generally used thaa any other
device among the children, and It 4M leas
damage. The aggregate loss by a scars
or more of fires was over a quarter of a
million dollars.
Roman candles and similar devices
which are likely to lacerate the hands or
faces or cause severe burns are aJsa la
eluded In the fireworks list.
The returns, as a whole, indicate that
there is progress In the aampalga tsr
more sensible observance ef the day: that
the West is making more advanca la this
