a great deal of credit for the sac
cess of the parade belongs to Chief
Marshal Col. Jno Sweisfort and his
able staff
1t is very hard indeed to estimate
the number of strangers in Danville
on the Fourth, but there were several
thousand. To convey some idea of
the multitude it might be stated that
after the parade with its 1900 march
ing men left Mill street for the Second
Ward and thus were out of the way
altogether Mill street still over its
whole length was one dense throng
from side to side, the people occupy
ing the middle of the street, which
was packed as tightly as the pavement.
The grand chorus with its 1876 voices
was magnificent success 1t was
during its rendition that the best idea
could be formed of the crowd. Prob
ably 5000 people listened to the sing
ing.

The substantial brick structure oc-
copied by Oarl Litz's restaurant is mi
nus one of its ohimneys as the result
of an attempt to swing large twenty
foot flag to the breeze on Saturday af-
ternoon.
The flag, al especially commanding
one, was made by Mrs. j. He'd
dens and the plan was to swing it to
the breeze over Mill street hy securing
one end of the rope on the roof of the
Heddens House and the other on Carl
Litz's establishment. On the latter
building there was no other means of
securing the rope than by tying it
around the chimney.
The flag was flung to the breeze with
little difficulty, but it had short ca
reer of it, The breeze rose, the flag
filled and Mr.. Litz stood by admirlng
it when all at once with sound that
suggested an earthquake "A cart load of
brick and mortar came raining down
over the awning into the street, and
the flag fell ingloriously to the ground.
As the chimney fell young lady

BOTH IN|UNCTIONS
ARE DISSOLVED

Judge @. r. Savidge yesterday hand
ed down an opinion in the injunction
! cases of ]. Hudson Kase and Peter
Berger against the Danville and Sun
bury Street Railway Company. In
both cases the bills are dismissed and
the injunctiOns are dissolved.
The following extract is taken from
| the opinion in the Peter j. Berger
case
First The plaintiff told the de-
fendant to go ahead and he would
give him no trouble and this is found
as a fact in the weight of the testi-
mony. 1t is likewise found that on
the strength of his promise, not to
make trouble, &c, the defendant did
go ahead, purchased material and ex-
pended large sum of money. This
declaration amounted to consent.
Second. We conclude that .the de-
fendant has the right of way by virtue
of the purchase of the franchise of the
Danville and Riverside Railroad Com
pany to build without consent, &c.
We find that the said Danville and
Riverside Railway Company always
paid it's taxes and kept up its organi-
zation in good faith; that the passen-
ger railway company under the law
was not confined to horse looomotion:
that it might from time to time as
conditions and public needs required
substitute other and more modern
power
From the agreement between Kase,
Berger and Gulick, we must conclude
that the PLAINTIFFS bill was not filed
in good faith. The defendant was
charged by the State to construct q
street railway to meet the needs and
demands of the public. This is the
theory aud the only excuse for the
granting of the charter. 1t is illegal
and unfair for number of individ
usls to combine for the purpose of
preventing the State agent from carry
ing out the purpose of it's charter, ty-
ing themselves up so that neither can
move hand nor foot without the con-
sent of all the Others This is in the
nature of a conspiracy against the
corporation to prevent it from carry
ing out the purposes of It's creation
and performing the public duties i'm
posed upon il by the State.

THE BIGGEST DAY
IN DANVILLE'S HISTORY
Twelve Hundred Marching Men n Line-Thc Fire

When the cannon of Goodrich POst

morning doomed forth its annual sa
lutte to the Fourth of July it ushered
in a day that was remarkable in many
respects and which will for long
time stand apart from all others IN

In the first place the weather condi-
tions left nothing to be desired
| Friendly clouds sheltered the earth
| from the intense heat of the July sun.
| There we're a few drops of rain in
the morning but later at no time dur.
ing the day did the sky even assume a
threatening aspect.
! Everything turned out precisely as
planned and anticipated and the day
| was marked by an utter absence of
casualty disorder or hitch OF any sort
1t was day when all roads literal
ly led to Danvllle, not only railroads
and trolley lines, but also the wagon
roads, and the crowds came early. the
first delegation to reach Danville came
from Sudbury arriving on the I'll

which were booked to arrive at 9 20
and 8 :32 respectively, but which were
over half an hour late. Tine Oatawis.
So special was nearly on time. Each
of the visiting lire companies was
met at the station with delegations of
local firemen accompanied by music
The streets at this time with their
spirited music and companies of hand
somely uniformed men moving back
ward aud forward presented an inter
esting sight. Already Mill street was
packed from end to end, while every
trolley car which at intervals of tw en-
ty minutes came down from Blooms
burg dumped cargo of human freight
into the town. Long before the parade
moved it was evident that the crowd
would surpass all expectations.
The number OF strangers in town
was larger than on any occasion that
could be recalled. So also the parade
vas larger and more attractive. There
were about 1900 men in line. fully
900 being firemen. IL was truly an
imposing spectacle especially the conn
termarch on Mill street.
The music WAS n glorious feature,
eleven bands and three drum corps be-
ing in the long line of march. Each
of the neighboring towns seemed to
send the very best it had and not
only were the uniforms bright and at
tractive, but the marchers as rule
