lished the fort on the banks of the Ohio
known as Fort Steuben, which was situated

three other prominent Germans. conceived
the idea of holding IL at this time, and the
societies all cOncurrug, preparations were

success of the celebration would be- bad
weather, and when the day dawned bright

jubilant. \ band concert In front of the
Court House and City Building opened the
exercises, when a flag was planted in the

the other side. All manner of business,
trades, and different phases of agriculture
were portrayed. and as the procession,
which was very large. passed through the
gaily decorated streets, II was loudly
cheered by the spectators on the sidewalks.
After the procession had gone over the
prescribed route, an adjournment took
place 10 Beckor's Grove, on the hill top,
west of the city. where addresses in both
English and German were made, the prin-
cipal speakers being j. +. DatOn, Esq, and

time TO pleasure. and dancing and other
amusements were INDUCED in. II was u
great day for the Germans. aud our citi-

two hundred barrels since the shot The
excitement about the oil tanks burning has
quicted down. for by investigation it WAS
ascertaincd that the Brown Oil Co 5
tanks were supplying several boilers with
gas, and the connecting pipes had no check
valves, making il very probable the fire got

caused by a little carclessncss. At any rate
