Democratic Fireworks.

BALTIMORE, July 6.-The Democratic fes- tivnl in Baltimore came to close last night in blaze of fireworks that lit up the harbor for six miles, The delegates to the conven- tion went down the bay in the afternoon ln five steamers. The return trip was com menced about sunset, the boats steaming leisurey up the Chesapeake into the Patapsco. At Fort Carroll awaited the party three inn mense barges in tow. which were loaded with S1, 800 worth of fireworks Then began pvro- technical display that was the admiration of everybody who witnessed it, and which con tinued almost until the steamers entered their slips in the Baltimore basin. The whistles of the steamers kept up continual believing and tooting the bands played national airs, and the Patapsco was in an uproar. This entertainment was the first display of fire works given in these waters since 1874, when British guns belched their fire into Fort Me- Henry, and Mir. 4. G. Carr is entirely due the credit of originating it. The most inter. esting feature of the fireworks was the bombardment of Fort Carroll by two barges and the return fire from the fort.

The Steamer City of Rome Has
 a Rough Passage.
UNDER A MOUNTAIN OF WATER

Struck by a 'Sea Bore" in Mid Ocean,
 Which Broke the Iron Bowsprit and
 Crushed the Bridge-severaI Seamen
 Injured.
 NEW YORK, July 7.-When the big ocean racer. the City of Rome, landed her passen- gers on the pier at the foot of Barrow street. and the crowded decks that had made her slow progress up the North river an sni- mated spectacle were cleared, she was a sorry sight.
 The vessel left Liverpool on Wednesday. June 27, with every prospect before her of good weather. On the Saturday evening following her departure she encountered an old time southwesterly gala The sea be- came choppy. causing the vessel to pitch frightfully.
 By midnight the wind blew harder than ever The waves rose higher and were con- tinually sweeping over the decks On Sun day morning the sea was very high, and the vessel pitched worse than before. But few persons dared to venture on the forward deck. and those who went there, with the ex- ception of the officers of the ship, were at once ordered below. At 11:35 a. ID. an enormous wave, denominated in sea phrase a sea bore, came sweeping down upon the vessel.
 It kept itself intact until it had traversed about one-third of the entire length of the ship, then crushed down upon it with mon strous force. The enormous weight of the water smashed the big iron bowsprit, which was tound hanging over the starboard side of the vessel, with portion of the rigging twisted about it. The forward bridge was completely stove in, and the man on duty on the bridge was thrown to the deck below. Five Seaman who vyere also doiDo dutv On the forward deck were knocked down and badly bruised
 Seaman Kane was more seriously injured than the others. When taken below it was ascertained that his hip had been terribly bruised. and both ankles and the left shoulder were sprained He was badly cut about the | eyes
 1 Captain Young, the commander of the | City of Rome. in an interview. said: Our recent trip was most assuredly the | toughest the steamer has ever experienced. | The weather was very bad after the first 1 three days out. Last Sunday, about noon 1 can't recall the latitude or longitude-we were sailing at the rate of about thirteen knots an hour. when an enormous wave struck the vessel. The decks at the time | were fortunately deserted, all passengers 1 being below. and many of them were fearfully seasick. I can tell you it was rough enough to make even an old sailor like myself sick No estimate was made of the height ot the wave, but one can imagine it from the fact that it rolled over the foremost bridge
 It's power can be judged from the appear ance of the bridge rail, which was bent over as if it had been pounded with a powerful sledge hammer. When that big wave struck | us the steamer came down with great force and something as matter of course, had tc | give The passengers behaved admirably throughout the crisis"
 The steamer will be repaired immediately and it is expected that she will be ready tc start on her return voyage to Liverpool on l Wednesday next.
