Z city of Philadelphia celebrated
the 126th anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration Of independence in this
city by holding patriotic open air exer-
cises in Independence Square The cell
ebration today was of unusual interest
because of the presence of Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles, who delivered
the oration. General Miles was enthusi-
astically received by 5000 persons when he
was introduced. His address was a pa
triotic one in which he traced the coun-
try's history down to the present time.
With reference to the Philippine islands
he said in part:
THE problem Of the Philippine Islands
is one of serious moment, involving the
expenditure of valuable life and vast
treasure. Although the subject is at
tracing marked attention and exciting
bitter discussion there can be but one
final solution and that must be one in
which the honor integrity and high char
acter of our government are preserved
and maintained beyond any peradventure
Full and impartial justice must be ac-

She MADE THE FLAG
Mrs. Padgett's Death Recalls
the Killing of Ellsworth
and Jackson.

ALEXANDRIA, VA. September g.
Especial. Mrs. Libbey Padgett, who
made the Confederate flag which waved
over the Marshall house here in 1861,
causing the death of Colonel Ellsworth
and James Jackson, the proprietor. died
at her hcme here last night. She was
II years old.
The death of Mrs. Padgett recalls one
of the first tragedies of the war between
the States. A New York regiment. in
Guiding the Ellsworth zouaves. had just
reached Alexandria on their way to the
front when the flag incident and the
deaths of both Ellsworth and Jackson oc-
Cured. The scene of the tragedy was
the Marshall House, a hotel at the cor
ner Of King and Pitt streets, kept by
Jackson. He was an ardent secessionist
and Confederate, and promptly upon the
secession of Virginia hoisted upn the top
of the Marshall House the stars and bars
Of the young Confederacy. 1t is said that
in his ardor he registered a solemn vow
that he would protect that flag with his
life and would kill any man who attempt
ed to haul it down.
Early in the movement of troops South
ward Ellsworth and his New York Zou-
aves entered Alexandria about daylight
one morning in April, 1861. Seeing the
Confederate flag floating defiantly from
the summit Of the Marshall House, Els
worth, fired with martial zeal, determined
that it should come down from the cupo-
la. He quietly informed his men that he
was going to haul it down, and. accom-
panied by a sergeant, he ascended to the
cupola and tore down the flag, wrapping
it around him. jackson and his family
were asleep at the time, but as the Zou-
aves descended the noise awakened Mrs.
Jackson, who hurriedly aroused her hus-
band. Seeing Ellsworth descending with
the flag. Jackson Immediately carried out
his vow and shot Ellsworth dead The
sergeant who was with the officer there
upon shot Jackson. The tragedy created
great excitement, and the city was i'm
mediately placed under martial law. This
was, perhaps, the nrst officer killed in the
war.

CANNOT GET THE HALL
City Democratic Committee
Failed toSecure Permis-
sion Of City. Fathers.

Unless the Council Committee on Mar
kets holds another meeting tonight or
tomorrow night, the City Central Com
mittee cannot meet in Old Market Hall
on Thursday night to receive the, returns
from the congressional primary, as has
been announced. The committee evident
ly thought that there would be no trouble
about the matter, and nothing was said
to the committee about it.
Last night a lady by the name of Mrs
Jewell appeared before the committee and
requested the use of the hall on Thurs
day night for a social gathering. Not one
of the members of the committee thought
of the announcement of the Democratic
meeting, and the consent of the commit
tee was easily gained, and the lady left
to begin preparations for her gathering.
This morning, when this fact comes to
the knowledge of the members of the City
Central Conmittee, there will be stir,
and it is likely that Sanger Hall will be
secured for the purpose of receiving the
returns from the primary.

.HULCHER FINED Nj. $3.50,
But Police Commissioners As
sess Only Ten Dollars
Against sPendleton.

The hearing of the charges preferred
against Officers l.. H. Hulcher and v.
Pendleton. of the First District, by the
Board Of Police Commissioners yester-
day evening resulted in reprinands for
the officers and a fine of $3.50 for Mr..
Hulcher and SO for Mr.. Pendleton.
The witnesses before the board were
Captain Angle, Sergeants Mathews and
Kerse and Officers Robinson. Crump,
Brown, the accused and DR. c.. w, p.
Brock. Jr. The evidence was the same
as that brought out before the police
court on Saturday, and there was but
one conflict in it. This was as to the
manner in which the assault came about
Mr. Hulcher testified that he approac ched
Mr.. Pendleton in a friendly way to settle
the differences between them. Mr.. Pen
dleton testified vice versa. No one saw
the alteration, and it was the conflict OF
testimony that saved Officer Hulcher
from being discharged from the force
Several members of the board so stated
after the meeting.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Bulcher will
be enabled to effect an arrangement with
Major Howard, whereby he will be per-
mitted to pay his fine in installments.
The fine amounts to just two months sal
ary of the officer, and it would seem
harsh for the board to demand that all
of this be taken away from his family.
In the past. heavy fines have been paid
by policemen in this manner, and it is
believed that Mr.. Hulcher will square.
himself in this way. He did not return to
work last night on account. of a little sore
ness in his wound. which will, probably,
keep him from duty for several days.
The finding of the board was that Mr.
Hulcher had been guilty Of an assault on
Mr.. Pendleton. and that Mr.. Pendleton
was guilty of profane language while on
duty. The board decided that Mr.. Pen
dleton was not guilty of shooting Mr..
Hulcher. or rather that he did the shoot
ing in self-defense.
The resolutions, which were read to the
respective officers, are as follows:
Resolved, That the Board of Police
Commissioners finds Officer L. H. HUI
cher guilty of the charge of conduct un-
becoming an officer, and that he be fined
$3.50 and severely reprimanded, and that
it is the sense of this body, that should
Officer Hulcher come before the board in
the future and the charge be sustained,
that he be dismissed from the force
Resolved, That the charge against ".
Pendleton. for conduct unbecoming an
officer, in shooting =. H. Hulcher, is not
sustained. But the board finds v. Pen
dleton guilty of using profane language,
and is, therefore, fined the sum of ten
dollars and reprimanded.
