A lively TINE.

A LIVELY TINE.
About one O'Clock this morning the
crowds on Market street split up into
two rival parties, one located near the
Opera House and the other opposite
the REGISTER office. firing of throw
ing giant crackers at each other, they
obtained several dozens OF skyrockets
and had a regular battle, firing them at
the rival camps by laying them In the
street car tracks and allowing the
pyrotechnics TO skip along the
surface of the street. The result OF
the lombard ment was cheers and yeils,
which attracted hundreds OF people,
and aroused all the guests In the Nc
Lure, who, finding sleep impossible, en-
loved the unWonted sight from the
windows. Later roman candles were
pressed into the fray, and at quarter
past one the street was the scene OF as
lively "time" as any reasonable man
could wish for. The racket was kept
up until two o'clock this morning.
While il lasted the hack horses had a
tough time OF it, lodging sky rockets,
and a good many pedestrians and spec
tators had to keep both eyes open as
they went along.
Asa matter Of fact, young America
seems TO have taken much less preliml-
nary interest in the Fourth, this year;
or, at least, this interest has lacked the
outward and tangible Manifestations OF
noise. The market for the sale OF ire
crackers and other Oriental forms OF
Occidental patriotism has been slow and
dispirited, aud IL was not until after
dark last night that the enquiry for
combustibles became at all active. The
abnormal aud inconvenient scarcity OF
the coin of the realm probably &C
counts for this. It's an i'll wind, etc,
The programme for to-day affords a
pleasing variety, from which all normal
tastes can be suited.
AT WHEELING PARK.
This delightful resort will offer many
attractions to-day, and will be open all
day and evening. The Opera House
band will give fine programme Of open
air concert music, and the orchestra
will also discourse dance music. The
new Casino will be open, and there will
be ten-pns, the merry-go-round, hand
some new swings aud the best of meals
and all sorts OF refreshments will be OBJ
tainable. A big crowd is expected, and
the Elm Grove road has made every ar
rangement to handle the eXcurslonistS

Three men were ground to death by a

mangled that he is not expected TO live.
Two of the victims are known to have
been asleep on the track, between the

as to whether or not the other two were
riding on brake beam at the time, or
were with those asleep on the track. The

One OF the latter, Vernie or Barney
