heavy storm at 10 p. m. cooled the at
mosphere.
The parade under the auspices OF the
Citizens Hose Company took place as
announced, and the participants made
crsdltabe showing. One OF the
features was the Darktown Fire Bri-
gade. The members played their parts
well along the route.
After the parade several hundred

The fremen's picnic followed and con-
tinued until interrupted by the thunder
storm at 10 p. m.
The town was appropriately decorated
with the national colors, and fireworks
were set off on all sides. The police had
little to do, Notwithstanding the fact
that large crowds were on the streets all
day

Turned OF the Liuhts.

The town presented an unusually dark
appearance last evening, due to the
absence OF light In several stores after Z
o'clock. The early closing agreement
went into effect at this hour, and as the
majority OF the merchants turned off
their lights in addition to locking their
doors the effect was quito noticeable.
The early closing was quite generally
observed.

ance took place within the city limits
and detachment of police were sent to
the scene. When they arrived they
found large crowd of women and boys
but very few men. The local officers of
the United Mine Workers say none of
their men were engaged in the fight.
No attempt was made next morning to
resume work at the washery. During
the day, however, shots were fired from
the windows of houses nearby at the
coal and iron policemen, who were
guarding the coal bank. The police
returned the fire, then withdrew to the
breaker. AS soon as the policemen took
their departure crowd of men marched
on the company's property, tore up 200
feet of railroad track, and set fire to a

OPERATOR MAKES THREATS.
Some of the coal road presidents are
reported to be showing signs of irrita-
tion at the delay in coming to terms.
President Fowler, of the New York,
Ontario and Western Railway, had this
to say on the subject last evening:
"lf l had my way, l would notify the
labor agitators that the operators, hav-
ing acceded to the terms asked by the
strikers, it is now in order that they call
off the strike in forty-eight hours, fail
ing which the offer of the 10 per cent
advance would be withdrawn and the
whole matter held over until the We'd
nesday following election day."
AS it is a few obstinate operators who
are causing the delay, Mr.. Fower's
threat is directed the wrong way.
