The Independent hose company,
which won tile championship at Salon
on Friday, returned on the 1l:20 train
on the Cleveland 4 Pittsburgh railroad
on Saturday morning, and was given q
rousine reception. The winners were
met al the depot BY the Climax band OF
eighteen pieces and several hundred
persons Of all ages, sizes and color, and
marched 10 tho ,lloso house on Filth
street. Tho procession was a good.sized
ono. Some Of the vehicles were deco.
rated and contained ladies; men and
boys carried Gags. The dremen each
carried largo red plume. presented 70 g
them by Mayor Harris at Salem. All
Of tI,oin wore roll ribbons on their neat
uniforms. DR.. J. W. Darrah, the toro'
man, carried broom, on which APP
peared "32t," and DR.. A. r. Ong, the
proud chief OF the fire department, car:
ried a broom with two ribbons wrapped
around it, and the fourteen-foot handle
was covered with rcd, white and blue.
I'The band played lively airs, and the re.
ception was quite enthusiastic, tho old
and young cheering. The procession
halted in front Of ong's drug store,
where rousing cheers were given
for Foreman Darrah, then for the
champions Of Northeastern Ohio, then
| for Chief 0ng. The fire ladies speak
in very high terms Of the fremen and
people OF Salem for their entertain
ment. The Salem Herald says: "Ihe
Independent hose company, OF Mar
tins Ferry, undoubtedly presented the
! finest appearance OF any visiting COM
pany in the parade. They have hand
some uniforms and behave like gentle
men in every respect. They are
efficiently captained by DR.. j. w. Oar.
rah." II was the universal opinion OF
spectators that Martins Kerry made
the prettiest start and run OF any COM
panv in the race. The INTELLIGEEcER
Of Saturday in the account OF the races
omitted the name OF r. O. Montgomery,
who made the coupling with William
Thomas. On account o: lying BY other
tiremen three Of the Martins Ferry
sprinters were put back several yards
and were unable to win either OF the
foot racing prizes on this account.
Anon Paxton was handicapped four
teen yards or he would have won the
500 prize even with his bad start de
made remarkable gain as it was and
came near winning. Had the Martins
Ferry sprinters been fairly treated
Martins Ferry would probably have
made clean sweep.
