Incomplete Returns show Thirty
Seven Dead and Over sixteen
Hundred Wounded

Chicago. July 6.-Like a report from
a battlefield are the returns from the
celebration of the glorious Fourth in
the United States. With the list only
partially made up. 1t is shown that 81
are dead and more than 500 injured,
many of them fatally. 1t is safe to
predict that of the injured perhaps 100
will eventually die from tetanus or
other complications, OF the injured
over 100 are minus both hands, or one
hand, or an eye, or leg.
The deadly toy pistol and the still
more deadly cannon cracker have given
way this year to the internal con-
trivance known as the dynamite cane.
Fully 35 per cent. of the accidents are
traced to this contrlvance, which Is
chiefly remarkable by its tendency to
explode. wounding everybody in the
vicinity
The following incomplete table will
give some idea of the casualties of the
day, gathered from various points in
the uitpd States.

NOTWITHSTANDING stringent regular
tions were put in force in many cities
to reduae the number of casualties this
year, the carnage will not fall much
below tnat of last year In the east
ern cities the death list was considera-
bly, reduced but the west made up for
the deficiency. The property loss, due
to fires caused by celebrations, will
probably reach a total of $150.000. This
danger has apparently been closely
guarded this year.
