eve OF FOURTH QUIET.
Only Small Amount of Celebrating
Was Done Last Night-Places
to Go Today.

1t has been many many years since
the glorious Fourth was ushered in as
Guietly and sedately as it was last
night. Practically nothing in the way
of fireworks was attempted and COM
paratively few crackers We're exploded
The stringent orders of the police de-
partment against cannons and cannon
crackers had much to do with lessen-
ing the ardor of those who like to DEM
onstrate their patriotism by creating
a din and noise that will Overshadow
the demonstrations of their neighbors
Most of the streets in the heart of the
city were crowded during the early
evening with shoppers and pleasure
seekers but by II o'clock they We're
quite deserted.
There will be nothing in the way of a
public demonstration or general cele-
bration of the day in this city but
there will be plenty of opportunity for
those who SO desire to spend pleasant
day.
Excursions will be run today to Lake
Ariel, Lake Lodore, Mountain Park,
Bnghamton and Niagara Falls. The
Elk's carnival will be open all day,
and at Athletic park two games of
ball will be played in the afternoon
At Wahler's grove. Dunmore. there will
be picnic and at the speedway, races.
Nay Aug park will undoubtedly at
tract thousands.
At the Country club there will be
tennis and golf tournaments and at
night a dance and gorgeous display of
fire works.

While celebrating the coming Of the
Fourth Alexander Zerda, of Minooka,
and two companions were seriously in
jured late yesterday afternoon, by the
explosion Of a dynamite cap. Zerda had
his left hand blown off, and with one Of
his comrades, who was almost blinded,
was taken to the Lackawanna hospital.
The other injured man was able to
walk to his home, and received treat
ment there. His injuries were the least
serious Of those of any one of the three.
Zerda and the other man were taken to
the Lackawanna hospital Both are
Polanders, and it was impossible to get
an Ineligible pronunciation of the Sec
ond mans name.
He was seriously injured about the
eyes. and may be totally blinded, as a.
result of the accident.
The accident occurred about $50
o'clock. in West Minooka. The three
men were firing giant crackers, and
burning powder, and in some way the
dynamite cap was accidentally ex-
ploded.
The three were stunned by the shock
and DR.. w. Fl. Olmstead, of Taylor. and
DR.. J. j. Walsh, Of South Scranton,
We're summoned to their aid. Both
physicians counseled the prompt re-
moval of the two more seriously injured
men to the hospital. An operation was
performed there, with view to saving
the eyesght of the one unfortunate.
His condition was considered more
serious than that of Zerda, as in addi-
ton to the injuries to his eyes, he was
also badly burned about the face and

AS last effort to preserve order
without calling on the militia, Sheriff
Schadt, yesterday, put his own men In
charge Of William A. colliery at Lacka-
wanna, in place of the coal and iron
police.
This move was effected, yesterday
after consultations with the company's
attorneys, willard, Warren G. Knapp,
and F. Tiscar, the Italian consular
agent.
Deputy Sheriff John e. Gaffney with
small posse was left at the mine
after the companys guard had depart
ed. The Italians of the William A.
community supon learning what had
been done told the sheriff through Mr..
Tiscor that there would be no more
trouble, and that IL necessary they
would furnish men to help guard the
colliery. Sheriff Schadt did not ac-
cept this offer.
HAVE BEEN EMBITTERED.
Since the killing of Vinazza, his coun-
trymen have been more than ever en-
bittered against the guards at the COL
liery. Their ugly temper was demon
strated in the incidents of the day be-
fore when they engaged in two battles
with guards who came outside the
stockade.
Sheriff Schadt is not inclined to do
any shooting himself and hesitates to
call on the militia. He Is determined
however, that lawlessness must cease,
and if this new move towards placat-
ing the disorderly Italians is not ef-
fective, he can be expected to place the
preservation of order in more powerful
hands.
The new move will likely have the
desired effect Yesterday and last night
were free from the scenes of the pre-
ceding day, and even the usual as
semblages on Main street were wanting.
Workmen at the colliery came and
went without molestation and the pro-
vision wagon made its trips without
encountering any attack.
The funeral Of Vinazza will take place
this afternoon at 2.3O o'clock, from
Cusick's undertaking establishment on
Washington avenue. Services will be
conducted at the Italian Catholic
church of st. Lucie, on Chestnut street,
and interment will be made in the
Cathedral cemetery.
WILL SHUT DOWN TODAY.
The washeries will be closed down to-
day and all men at the mines whose
services can be dispensed with will be
given day off.
Yesterday was devoid of any excite
ment or new developments Of any i'm
portance. District President Nichols
was in Duryea most Of yesterday in
quiring into the shooting of Vinazza.
Secretary Dempsey busted himself at
headquarters with the preparations for
the district convention which opens in
Nanticoke, next Monday. At the Of
fees Of the coal companies the uniform
report was made that situation remain
ed unchanged.
The mine employees of the Pennsyl-
vania Coal company who remained
faithful to the company during the
strike were given a pleasant surprise.
yesterday, when upon opening their pay
envelopes they found their wages had
been increased ten per cent. The raise
affects about 500 men.
