that the celebration, at least in the earlier
part Of the day was less noisy than had
been the case on all former occasions.
These CeIebrants Were Too Previous.
Acting under instructions from Major
Sylvester the police did their best last
night to prevent the usual Sd of July
noises. and reports received this morning
indicated that they were SO highly success
full that last night was the quietest Sd that
has been experienced here in many years
Major Sylvester has been congratulated
upon his successful efforts. Although the
noises We're not so great the police made
many arrests, and the victims were called
before the bar Of justice in Judge Kimbalrs 9
court this morning. Two boys Everett
Carter and Horace Burrell were defendants
IN the first cases called and the Judge
fined them 50 each. Prosecuting ATTORNEY
Pugh called Judge Kimballs attention to
the fact that S. is the lowest penalty pro-
vided by the law, and his remarks indi-
Gated he had forgotten the days when he
celebrated with explosives. BY way of ex-
planation he stated that the Commission

thought they were right.

Retarded Naval Construction.
ON the Providence Journal

From the Providence Journal.
One Of the most dscouraging features OF
warship construction is the length of time
the vessels are in the builders hands. The
Kearsarge and Kentucky were each over
four years between keel laying and COM
missioning, and the Illinois bids fair to
equal their record. The keel of the Maine
was laid on February Is. 1899, the first
anniversary of the blowing up Of the old
Maine-and she is now but little more than
half completed In some cases the delay
Is due TO the non-delivery of armor in
proper season, and in others to changes of
plans more or less radical; but the dila-
toriness is often to be attributed to the
leniency of the Navy Department in deal
ing with the constructors.

and other engagements in the waters of
the West Indies and on the shores of Cuba
during the war with SPAIN" and provided
further that Officers and men of the navy
or Marine Corps who rendered specially
meritorious service otherwise than in bat
tie may be rewarded in like manner" The
- estiOn arises whether the provision re-
1ating to the meritorious service medal ap-
plies only to naval and other engagements
in the waters of the West Indies and on
the shores of Cuba during the war with
Spain" or whether 1t applies generally to
meritorious service otherwise than in bat
tie during the Spanish war regardless Of
whether the service was performed in the
West Indies or elsewhere.
If II Is held that the meritorious medal
like the regular West Indian service medal
shall be awarded only for services rendered
IN the West Indies, those officers who rem
dered exceptionally hazardous and valua-
bic service in Spain, in the Philippines and
in other parts of the world during the
Spanish war, will not be entitled to that
special recognition, unless It SO happened

NO BLAME FOR CITY.
Railroad Assumes Responsibility for
Tunnel Break.

The Baltimore Sun Of today says The
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company, through
Mr., Bernard Carter, its attorney, informed
Mayor Hayes that the company held the
city blameless for the cave-in last Satur-
day of the Union tunnel and IN no way de-
sired to hold the city responsible.
This declaration, 1t is thought, was
brought about by the discovery made by
Building Inspector Preston OF the real cause
Of the cavern. Mr.. Preston stated last
night that his examination showed conclu-
sively that the first brick ring at the bot
tom of the arch, known as the "sofflt.' had
disintegrated. In the rings above this the
bricks had not adhered to the mortar and
did not support the arch. Pieces OF timber
used in the construction had also decayed
and were In bad condition

The Public Meeting.
After these prelimnaries the public meet
ing of the association was opened. The
Imperial Mandolin Club composed of
Messrs. A. Grupe, jr., director; F. Reed, w
and c. Galiher, E. Hardstall and E. Witt
staff, rendered overture, after which
the audience sang The Star spangled Ban
ner.' The Declaration of Independence was
effectively read by Mr.. Allison Nailor jr :
America was sung by the audience
standing, after which ex-Judge c. c. Cole
delivered an address which dealt in many
patriotic illusions to the great significance
of the natal day of the country. He spoke
of the growth of the United States in
125 years, and Of the great national Consti-
of the country.
while the Constitution may not follow
the flag according to the Supreme Court
decision he said, 1T does defend the flag
Wherever 1t may be found, on land or sea-
Wonderful Strides.
The speaker sketched briefly the wonder
full strides of invention that have been in
try, the telegraph, the steamboat and the
railroad having brought an extensive peo-
pie closely together in a way that would
have made the people who founded the
country marvel had they known of these
great instruments In civilization. The
steam railroad and the electric telegraph
had received their practical demonstrations
by experiments carried on between this
city and Baltimore. The transatlantic tel
egraph was the work of an American, and
lean ingenuity.
And yet" declared Mr.. Cole "a college
president has within few days regretted
that we have no American geniuses. If
genius did not create these great devices
we can we'll get along without genius
Speaking of the growth of the country
Mr. Cole said the Louisiana purchase was
urged as a commercial necessity. The hon
orable career Of the country in the great
war Of the rebellion and in the later events
Of the war with Spain were recounted A
world power after defeating Spain brought
forth enthusiastic applause. He believed
| the country would go on in her glorious ca
reer, 'the admired of all nations" The
country calls on every citizen for the most
devoted patriotism, patriotism founded
| in the brotherhood Of man, in mans desire
| to elevate man. Judge Cole concluded his
remarks by a recital of the ''Ship of State. -
At the conclusion of his remarks Mr..
| Cole was elected an honorary member OF
| the association.

Spread of Smallpox.
From the Hartford Times


The general spread of smallpox at pres-
ent is commentary on the almost equally
general neglect to enforce vaccination. The
trouble usually begins in the new or float
ing population, but If immigrants bring 1t
in or those moving about carry It to the
poorer parts Of a city or to a country vii
lage, it Is very likely to cause several new
cases before the alarm is taken. so that the
neglect Of the local authorities is really the
cause Of the spread Of the disease.

Spring is unlocking the flowers. | see
sweet violets pecping from their leafy
beds and jonquls lifting their yellow
bells to catch the sunshine. What a
rcbuke to man is the innocence and
beauty Of the tlowers-what contrast
toS cruelty and strife and selfishncss.
The love of flowers is refining and
draws a man nearer to woman and to
heaven, and it is safe to say that what
ever woman loves, man had better
love, or try to. Flowers, music and
birds arc given for our happiness.
They are the extras of creation de-

have given us only the howhrg of the
winds for music and buzzards for birds
and dog.fcnnel for flowers. The love

children.

woman and two little children. I

(SigncU "JonN HENDERSON,
The first train this morning on the
Cotton Belt from IIillsboro was so
crowded that it could carry no moro.
Runners were sent over the county
announcing the arrival of Henderson
here and the people had been swarm
ing TO the city to take part in or wit

inflicted on the negro.
Alter his confession it was decided
TO burn him at the stake ut 9 O'Clock,
but news was received of rangers and
troops Ell route from Dallas, duo here
at II O'Clock, and hurried preparations
ere made to anticipate Interference.
~ railroad rail was driven into the
ground III the corner of the courthouse
lot and boxes ana wood piled around it
and saturated with oil.
The crowd had increased to about
1000 at | O'Clock. About 10 made q
rush from the Jail across the street to
the courthouse. In their midst WAS
the negro, handcuifcd. The men form
' cd circle, holding to n chain which
, completely surrounded Henderson to
prevent an attempt of the enrugcd
people to get at him and tear him to
pieces. They rushed to the pile of
wood anu fastened the negro to tho
IRON rail with wire and chains. Cans
or OIL were dashed over his clothes aud
dozens of lighted matches touched to
the lnflnmmablc material. At that
time the fire alarm bell was runp and
ana the stores Of the city were desert

slashcd HIM across the face with a
knife. AS the flames cncircled the
negro and ran over his clothing tho
crowd yelled and Younger again at

knife.
AT no time during the burning did
Henderson give any indication of pain
or suffering. He rolled his eyes 81 as
to get glimpse of the sea of angry
faces which surrounded him and his
hands moved slightly. 1t was about ten
minutes before he was dead, duriug
which time the movements of his hands
were becoming fceblcr. At no time
did nc make any outcry other than once
