Tampa, Fla, June 21-General
Maxine Gomez arrived here this
evening from Havana and is now
en- route to New York. He APP
pears to be in the best Of health.
He talked freely considering the
brief time he spent here but was
reticent concerning vital Cuban
matters with which he is supposed
to have much 10 d.
He declared positively that there
was nothing whatever significant
in his trip to the United States at
this time. He was simply on pri-
vate business, he said.
1t is gener rally understood that
from New York General Gomez will
go to Washington to confer with
the President and Secretary Root.

CITIZENS TO
- CELEBRATE.

Exhuberant with patriotic favor resi-
dents of the neighborhood of Fourth and
Broome streets are making fine progress
with the preparations for great cele-
bration on the Fourth of July. Another
meeting of the Broome street Heights
Association was held last night 1t as
sumed the proportions of mass meeting.
The whole neghborhood is aroused. Men
and women are as enthusiastic over
the affair as are small boys when the
time for this great American celebration
annually draws near.
Plans made week ago have given
way to ideas of much greater proportions.
1t was at first intended to expend about
5000 for the celebration. Liberal contr-
buttons began to pour in, With every
day the fund increased. These conditions
so enthused the projectors that at last
nights meeting it was decided to in
crease the expenditures to from 800 to
$780,
A prime feature Of the affair will be
balloon ascension by man from
Philadelphia Patriotic songs will be
sung by choir of fifty women. Henry
G. Conrad has been invited to read the
Declaration Of Independence. There will
be several speakers the principal one of
which it is expected will be Governor
John Hum. Music by the First Regi-
ment Band of eighteen pieces will en-
liven the occasion.
According to the arrangement of the
program the exercises will begin with
the balloon ascension. This will take
place, if there is no hitch in the program.
between and o'clock. Then at $50
o'clock will swell forth burst of patriot
ic songs from the women's choir. At
6 o'clock the band will strike up in
spring airs and will continue the con-
cert of patriotic music for some time.
After this will come the reading of
the Declaration and the speech making.
When dusk has obscured the light of
day blaze of pyrotechnics will illume
the heavens. Two hundred elaborate set
pieces will be set off by two experts who
will be sent here by the manufacturers.
Finally when the supply of fire works
is exhausted. the greatest Fourth of
July celebration which has taken place
in this city for some years. probably the
largest ever held here, will be at an end.

ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

CITY Councilman John Rey mold.
was obliged to qui. work at the
DIS. S. Company's worksye sterday
owing to a very sore hand. A lew
days ago the member was burned
while be was at work IN the black
smith shop. His hand was so sore
that he could not handle the sledge.
Word was received here yester'
day OF the death OF Mics Bessie
Kuntz at Denver, Col. Her funera
took place on Tuesday last aud in
terment was made at Paramount
cemetery. DR.. W. H. Kuntz. her
father, who has been iL Denver
for several weeks, Is expected home
on Tuesday next.
The supposed mad dog belong ing
to John Langston, was shot yester.
day and a number Of other dogs
that were bitten on Wednesday
night. were also dispatched. The
dog 3 head will be sent to Newark
College to see it the animal had
rabies or not.
City Council is supreme. Last
evening that august body was to
have held a meeting for the pur-
pose oil deciding the appeals on the
assessment But the members OF
Council did not meet in the Mayors
office. On the contrary the mem
bers walked down the street aud
President Sckuhardt said this
morning that no meeting had been
held Why should Council conceal
its actions? City Council is pub
lie body and the people are enti-
tied to know what is going on Are
the proceedings fair and honest?
Why should Council be afraid to
let the public know what is going
on? Appeals had been made and
the property owners are entitled to
know the decision Of Council, The
assessment as whole is the worst
ever submitted to a Council. An
increase OF salary vas granted to
have good assessment made.
Property was placed to the credit
of people who did not own it. Other
people are not assessed for prop
erty they own. Council musteither
come out openly with the business
Of the city or bear the brunt of the
peoples criticism. 1t is about time
to stop such conduct. Come out
aud remove all suspicion. Let the
people know the peoples business.
They are entitled 10 know all
about the city's affairs. The city
owes thousands Of dollars and the
present Council pays no attention
to the people. Perhaps they are
gone to the Truss marsh.
The game OF base ball tomorrow
will be an interesting one.
