correspondence 10 the Argus.
This year was the first one in which
the Fourth was celebrated in Hill
man, and the citizens have no cause
to be ashamed of the manner in which
the national holiday was observed.
Early in the morning the booming of
innumerable guns woke up such of
the people as were not already astir.
The sun came up clear and uncloud-
ed and continued to pour down heat
of about 80 in the shade the entire
day.
The principal attractions were the
two dancing halls of Adams and
Hunt, and there the light fantastic
was tripped from eight o'clock in the
morning until midnight. Jumping
and foot racing took place in the after
noon, and as there were no celebrities,
this part of the program was not very
exciting. John Hunt won first prize
in the 100 yards foot race, and
Walker Body marched off with first
money in standing long jump. In
the evening an exceptionally fine dis
play of fireworks were set off. A
number of refreshment stands were
scattered about the village, and at
one Of them, turning an ice-cream
crank, could be noticed the benign
countenance of the editor of the In
dex. A number of people from AL
pena were here, among whom were
w. II. Phelps, Kimball, Grant Ruth
erford. Though there were several
picnic parties in the neighborhood,
the crowd in Hillman was very good
and about rs large as the village
could accommodate nicely.

The McGibeny's.

This noted family gave another of
their pleasant musical socials at the
Opera House last Saturday night,
and at least 600 persons went there to
hear them. 1t was the third visit of the
family to this city, and every time
they have been greeted by large
audiences. They give good entertain
ments and are evidently .favorites
with the people of Alpena. Their
program was as follows:
Overture. "zethus" Family Band
Glee, "Jingle Bells. Family Chorus
Quartet of horns...~; Viola Hugh, Victor and Fred
Kindergarten song. "what We Do"....Jamie, Carl
Grace, Dockie and Florence.
"The Lord is Mindful of His Own. Viola, Hugh
Victor and Fred.

and Jamie.

During the entertainment, some
person in the street set off some fire.
works which caused considerable
light. "Fire" was shouted by some
unknown person, and the greater part
of the audience instantly arose. A
few rushed to the door and there
came very near being panic and n
mad rush for the doors. Several men
Immediately shouted out that there
was no fire and advised the people to
remain seated. Mr.. McGibeny also
appeared on the stage and made the
same request and very soon the panic
subsidized. IF rush had been made
to the doorways, hundreds of women
and children would have been crushed
and scores killed. To rush for the
doors on such occasions is probably
the most insane thing an audi
ence can do. In the Alpena Opera
House there are two commodious
means of egress, and, we believe, in
case of fire, the people present can
be got out safely if they will only
keep cool. 1t is not likely that fire
will take place at the same time on
both sides of the Opera House, and
thus if fire is burning on one side
there yet remains mode of egress
on the other. Between the Opera
House and the stores on each side is a
solid brick wall and the entrances
are provided with iron doors. Mr..
Maltz has made admirable arrange
ments in case of fire, and we do not
believe there is any occasion for
panicy and insane rushes to the doors.
