WHEELING, West Va, July 5.-Indepen-
dence day was very generally observed to- day.
The business houses were closed, also the
public buildings. The display of bunting
was generous No accidents worthy of note
happened, despite the fact that gunpo WIDER
and firecrackers were freely burned. Many
OF the people sought the grove near there
where the picnics were being held, but the
weather proved very unpropitious for this
kind of enjoyment, as it rained heavily in
the morning, and in the evening tremend-
GUS rain storm prevailed for an hour.
Bright fireworks and being set off in various
parts of the city, but being altogether indi.
vidual enterprise, there is not very extern
sive display.

| haps 400 men and three infantry companies
from abroad, one from St.

| party. He said the tree of liberty planted in
1776, had grown broad enough to shelter all
patriots, national born or naturalized, and
was rich in timber for scaffolds and collins
for those who aspired to break
down our constitution, and who violated our
written laws No State would ever be wiped
out. No star obliterated from the flag, but
| no new State would be admitted to the
| Union, whose people are not free from
kingly or priestly dictation in civic affairs
Utah should be free, and then, and not till
then, State. The shackles
that bind her people to the
superstitions of the dead past would by their
own acts be broken. Then, with her great
natural resources and commanding position
redeemed Utah would go forward in unison
with civilization and the law to great fu-
ture. The speech was we'll received by the
gathering. which was chiefly Gentiles. The
