Eighth and Ninth streets. Hundreds
who came to tho city from other places
passed mast Of the time in visiting
relatives or friends or ia going about
the city.
Some came by train, while others ar
rived in wagons and carriages. Some
brought luncheon with them and ate
their meals on door steps or wherever a
place could be found. There was q
difference between the crowd OF Gun
day and those of years ago. Formerly
most of those who participated in the
festivities were old people, but the
older ones as a rule now remain at
home, while younger people take their
places, and, as result, theirs ia more
gaiety on the streets. The PRINCIPAL
services were held in the A. U. NJ. 4.
Church, on French street between
Eighth and Ninth. which was thronged
all day. In the morning the sermon
was preached by the Rev. James +.

A Washington dispatch says: Vessel
owners, whose craft had been charged
with carrying filibustering expeditions to
Cuba before the war with Spain, had
generally assumed that the war would
wipe out all the charges against their
ships. In this they were mistaken, for it
is the intention of the department of
justice to prosecute every case in which
they believe the'evidence is sufficiently
strong. The cases against the Laurada,
the Dauntless and the Three Friends will
be pressed, not so much from the desire
of the authorities to punish the iilibusters
as to have the law clearly construed.
