believe that the issue was the
condemnation of the executive
council instead of the whitewash
of Senator Culkins. Just before
the adjournment to supper the
report was referred back to the
committee with instructions to
eliminate all references to the
council. During the debate
Findley asked one of the st.
Paul delegates if he would be
satisfied to let the criticism OF
Culkin stand if the reference to
the council was cut out. The
answer was "cut out all refer
ence to the Culkin matter"
EVENING SESSION.
During the recess the members
of the committee again appealed
to some of the delegates from st.
Paul to know what they wanted;
they were willing to make the
executive councils endorsement
as broad and emphatic as any
body could desire, but the Cul-
kin matter they would not
withdraw. It was evident that
the st. Paul push was determined
to make the Culkin whitewash
stand and hoped to win by
ringing in a defense of the coun-
Gil against a purely imaginery
attack, in order to mislead the
convention and shield the
senator.
The committee made no more
change in it's report than to en-
phasize the fact that the real
issue was Senator Culkin, by
making more pointed it's en-
dorsement of the general work OF
the council.
Geraghty said that the COM
mittee had not followed instruc-
tons. Findley retorted that he
had disclaimed all along any in
tention to attack the but
he never crawfiished; he never
took anything back when he was
right; he could be whipped, but
not bulldozed; and would stand
or fall by the resolution.
A vote was taken and the re
port adopted, as near as a
viva voce vote could be estima-
ted, by almost two to. one. St.
Paul rallied, and although it
was after 8 o'clack, more than
halt an hour after the. time for
reassembling, claimed they had
not a fair chance as their dele
gates had not yet returned from
supper, and many of them were
in the ante-rooms. A reconsider
alton was ordered pending which
the debate broke out again. The
final vote resulted for reconsider
alton 80 to 81. Aldrich of. the
farmers alliance, claimed his
name was not called, the chair
ruled that he should have made
it known before the result was
announced. An appeal was
taken and the chair sustained
by a vote of IS to 10.
Then there was another row.
Geraghty claimed illegal voting.
The only basis for the charge
arose from a conversation occur
ring during the roll call in which
one delegate in answer to a ques-
ton said "no" just loud enough
that some people thought it was
a vote. The secretary had re-
called the name and it was ex-
planned that its owner was not
in the hall. AS an offset to AID
rich's claim, it is known that a
Duluth delegate who. had been
Extensively active in defense of the
committees report got mixed up
and voted AYE" as he did on the
adoption Of the report; he after
wards insisted he had voted to
sustain the committee until
shown the secretary's roll call.
The vote on reconsideration was
&C follows. -s.* g.

federation council is hereby in
structed to suitably denounce any
such who may hereafter become
applicants for similar positions"
The report recommended that
the protest of Deere & Weber
against employment of convict
labor on binding Irvine be re-
ferred to the farmers alliance.
alleging as a reason therefore
that the manufacture of bind
ing Irvine was monopolized by
the cordage trust. and that the
wages oflabor employed thereat
was not effected by the price: of
the output. The resolutions en-
dorsed the councils declarations
against convict labor in general
but expressed the belief that
good rather than bad would
come from its employment in
competition with trust products.
The resolution especially COM
mended the recommendations OF
the council as to the removal OF
Powers and the employment of
special lobbyists; also the secre-
tary's recommendations as to
increased dues and more thor
ough organization. 1t concludes:
1--WE desire also~to express the
highest appreciation for the able
and intelligent reports of the ex-
ecutive council and the various
officers, and recommend the
adoption Of their suggestions
and that the federation extend
to them a hearty vote ~of
thanks" ~
The introduction of this re-
port raised a storm that ragged
necessarily, except during the
supper hour, from $3.50 to $50
O'Clock. The first paragraph
originally read:
"Your committee does not be-
lieve that in resembling it's resolu-
ton condemnatory of Senator Gull
kin's vote in the Powers investiga-
ton, the federal council was actu-
ated by corrupt motives; neverthe-
less we admit that the criticisms
it has called forth have not been
wholly unjustifiable under the cir
cumstances, for the following rea-
sons"
The St. Paul delegation first
undertook to defend the action
of the council as wise and
proper. This didn't go with the
crowd. A few pointed questions
from the chairman Of the COM
mittee compelled them to aban-
don that position and it was
not again heard of after the first
! halfhour.
The burden of their defense
was that the report was an un-
fair attack on the council. Del
egate Geraghty accused the com
mittee ofneglecting every impor-
tant recommendation to pick
out this one thing for condemna-
ton. The chairman denied that
the committee had made any at
tack on the council or ignored it's
recommendations; and in proof
thereof read again the last
paragraph Of the report.
There was no reflection either,
he said, on the councils honesty;
the report simply said they had
made a mistake, something any
honest man was liable to do.
The Culkin whitewash was a
mistake. It set a bad precedent;
it put the federation in the
position of a lot of children
ready to swallow any "guff'
that might be thrown at them.
The gentlemen on the other side
claimed they had brought Mr..
Culkin to the feet of the feder-
alton. What did that amount
to-? Any politician would buy
forgiveness with a fat office in
sight, and then, as soon as he
had won the prize, betray us
worse than ever. If we let this
fellow off before he has shown
his repentance by his works we

HOSPITAL FlRECRACKERS.
Two Little UnfOrtunates Had One
Big, Bully Time.

At the Lackawanna hospital yester-
day DR.. j. l.. Andrews, senior physlc-
ian, and DR.. Frederick Gilbart the lat
est acquisition to the staff, were kept
busy dressing small wounds, the re-
suit of exploding powder.
In all, fourteen cases We're treated
at the hospital. OF these the greater
number were small burns and no sep
arate record was kept of them. One
young man, a resident of Raymond al
ley, had his right hand torn by an ex-
ploding cannon cracker. His name
could not be learned.
In the afternoon the patients at the
hospital who were able to be out doors
shot off many packages of crackers on
the lawn in front Of the building. These
crackers were the gift of charitable
persons. An incident of this feeble
celebration was noted by Tribune
reporter. Two little boys, one of whom
was afflicted with deformed legs and
when admitted to the hospital six
months ago could only drag himself
around on hands and knees, and an
other who is recovering from a serious
illness, were out on the lawn shooting
off crackers.
The sick boy moved about in a roll

The other could barely walk and when
the boy in the rolling chair lighted his
cracker he would wheel himself away
the other boy would roll his body on
the ground.
A crowd of urchins from the alleys
about the hospital had installed them
selves on the walk outside, pressing
their faces against the iron fence to
watch the fireworks display OF the
two envied patients. These sturdy
youngsters kept urging the sick boys
to throw the crackers over the fence.
The boy In the chair was twitted when
his fire crackers failed to reach the
mark, a distance OF fifteen feet.
WHAT'S de madder with ye, why don't
you trow 1t Overt" The boy in the
chair answered: 81 can't; used to

One cracker. however, reached the
fence and exploded right in the face Of
a little fellow who is probably FIVE
years old. He Immediately threatened
to get over the fence and "knock the

HOW SCRANTONIANS
OBSERVED THE DAY
No Great Shakes, but the City Did Very
Well
MANY AVENUES FOR PLEASURE
CaIedonian Games, Base Ball, Lake
Ariel Excursion and Other Means of
Pastime-.Thousan Left the City
and Thousands Celebrated at
Home--very Little Disorder--In-
tense Heat.

The third edition OF the Fourth of
July, 1897, was variously observed in
this city yesterday. AS a legal holi-
day 1t was one of the tamest ever
known. The celebration on the two pre-
vious days, Saturday and Sunday,
played hob with the small and big
boys stock Of fire works, and conse-
quently there was no great noise. This
fact also explains the very quiet day
with the fire department.
Chief Hickey had made thorough
preparation for prompt and efficient
service. In every hose house a special
detail of firemen were located and the
chief himself spent every moment Of
time at his headquarters in the Cen
tury house. There were fewer fires than
in years, however.
About the city there were a few
pedestrians and these few were either
waiting for street cars or were NOV
ing toward some sheltering nook.
At Nay Aug park the men who made
the park possible were blessed bv
thousands of people. White, light
gowns and straw hats were all over
the park. There was no special at
traction there, only the trees and
breeze and benches, but these were ap-
preciated. The same magnetism was
responsible for hundreds Of wagon
loads Of people who spent the day at
Mountain Lake, the pretty little patch
OF earth and water in this back yard
Of the South Side.
AT Laurel Hill park, besides the
trees, etc. there were the Caledonian
games. These afforded the principal
entertainment in the city. The crowd
was immense, numbering into several
thousands.

ST. LUKE'S EXCURSION.
Sunday Schools Annual Picnic
at Lake Ariel.

st. Luke's Sunday school will have its
annual picnic at Lake Ariel on Thurs
day. 1t is especially desired that this
shall be made, as has been the case of
late years, a parish outing; that large
numbed of members of the congrega-
ton will accompany the Sunday school.
The train will leave the Erie and Wy
oming railroad station at $50 a. m.
Children's tickets, 40 cents; adults, rs
cents.
The experience of several recent ex-
cursion parties makes it wise to give
notice to beware of professional pick
pockets at the station. At the lake
Mr.. Neff will be prepared to supply ice
cream and other refreshments. Music
has been arranged for. Several mem
bers of the best orchestra in the city
have been engaged for the day.

WHEELMAN'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Rubber Tires Saved Him from a
Shock of Electricity.

At 9 o'clock a Laurel Hill car slipped
it's fender at the corner of Adams
and Lackawanna avenue and the trav-
eler on the trolley caught the main
wire at it's juncture with the span and
tore down both. There were several
narrow escapes.
A bicyclist, who was riding along
with the car, was struck on the arm
by the flying wire. With a yell he shot
ahead. disentangling himself as he did
so. Electricians say that only the
rubber tires of the wheel saved him
from a perhaps fatal shock.
Traffic on the Laurel Hill line was
delayed for twenty minutes or until
the repair wagon arrived and mended
the break.

AT LAKE ARIEL.

At Lake Ariel a large crowd en-
Jcyed the privileges of the pretty re-
sort. Trains to the Lake during all
the day carried fresh loads of the
seekers for a good time and cool at
n:osphere. The crowd was orderly and
companiOnable.
Base ball was also in evidence, very
must so. In the morning Athletic
park contained about three thousand
persons, including a very few from
Wilkes-Barre. In the afternoon the
game at Wilkes-Ba attracted over
GOO scrantonians. The Scranton dele
cation in size and enthusiasm was
quite pretentious.
At Athletic park in the afternoon
the Eureka and Lackawanna ANA
teur ball clubs furnished some enter
tainment. A boxing bout was a prom
inent side feature.
During the day the crowd that the
Traction company cared for numbered
into the tens of thousands. The
service was strikingly excellent, more
so in fact than upon many previous
holidays.
THE CROWDS COME HOME.
Toward evening when the crowds
filled the various avenues to the city
and home, things began to brighten
up. The sidewalks of Lackawanna
avenue were masseG with moving
people. After dark came the fire works
and though there was no especial ex-
travagance noted, the general display
was as great as in the past years.
The display on "the hill" and on the
West Side was brilliant and furnished
an attractive picture for the other sec
tions of the city.
With the return of the crowd also
came more work for the police. Only
four arrests had been made up to
noon, but after that the station house
began to fill. Chief Robling called into
use every factor at his command in
keeping order and succeeded. Few OBJ
noxious celebrators escaped. Through
out the city many accidents happened
but comparatively few were of SER
ious nature.
And the heat! In rounding up a tale
of the days doings the heat is the most
bothersome and most omnipotent thing
around. From 12 o'clock noon until
2.30 o'clock the thermometer at Phelps
drug store famed itself at "a. When
the sun went down so went the mer-
curry until at 8 o'clock it took a rest
at 81.
