under large American flag swung

AS the line moved off rockets and
Roman candles were fred by many Of
the paraders and from Il number of
private houses. The line of march
was one continuous shout and hurrah.
The spectator who stood on one of the
high points in town and looked down
upon the procession while it was pass
ing below him saw sight that cannot
be described or forgotten.
When the line turned into the west
end Of Main street and passed by the
tall flag pole on the top of the hill the
Arion band struck up ",John Browns
Body while shouts went mp from the
throng that filled the sidewalks and
some joined in singing that well
known song. A few rods behind
came the Elkins club followed by the
clubs from Cumberland, and us they
came they lit the heavens with rock
cts. From this point to Broadway the
pyrotechnic display was at its best. A
large banner was swung across the
! street at the corner of Main and
Broadway, and as the line passed un-
der with uncovered heads Il flag on
one side of the banner took fire and
burned, without, however, doing any
other damage.
! Ravenscraft's Opera House was
reached at i0:30 o'clock and in few
minutes all had dispersed, the torch
and uniform being laid to rest until
called forth to do service in the next
campaign.
On east Main street the tasteful Gee
orations Of the residence of C. H.
| Walker elected great admiration. On
Bowery Arthur Bakers house was
conspicuous. Portraits of Harrison
and Morton were among the decora-
tlons in many places. AT Robinson's
meat store on Broadway 20 coon skins
were hung on the front Of the house
the most novel decoration on the
| whole line. On the same street the
residence Of George Wehner attracted
great attention by its beautiful adorn-
ment, and Conrad's Photographic gal
lery was Il flood of light, the large
windows giving opportunity for a fine
display. At b. 7. Schofield'S residence
Oh Mechanic street an arch of gas Jets
spanned the street, and was greatly
admired. During the passage of the
procession at the corner of Water and
Mechanic streets Philip Michael kept
up display of fireworks that was
very pretty. On west Main street the
residence of Owen Hitchins was par
ticularly noticeable. To give descrip-
tions of the many tasteful decorations
and illumlnatiors would be next to
impossible. Suffice it to say, that it
was evident that ali had done their
| best.
The Elkins club carried transpar-
ency bearing II portrait of Gen. Goff
The FrOstburg club had Il banner in
scribed,
Growers gone fishing up Salt river, No
Kyds for congress.
This club also carried Il stuffed coon
on a pole labeled THE same old coon.''
The Cumberland and PENNSYLVANIA
railroad company sold 600 tickets to
visitors to this place.
The whole affair passed off without
an unpleasant incident of any kind
and reflected great credit upon all con
cerned.
