-FOUR COUNTY
CONVENTION

The four county firemen's S celebra-
tion at Bloomsbury yesterday was an
unqualified success. Every train en-
tering the town yesterday morning
was taxed to its fullest capacity with
sojourners to the celebration, single
fire companies and entire fire depart
ments came in every train, and when
the large special train over the d. l..
& W. reached town about 9 80 and dis
gorged its multitude of firemen and
their friends from all the upriver
country between there and Scranton,
the town took on an aspect the like of
which had never been witnessed since
the days of the Centennial. The null
titude flocking all the main thorough
fares, and the gaily colored decora-
tions, with the dozens of bands and
richly uniformed companies marching
and countermarching through the
streets all morning made a picture
truly imposing.
While the parade was supposed to
start at y 80 o clock, it was some con-
siderable time after that when the line
actually got moving.
But the elegant appearance of the
companies in general must be noted, as
il is doubtful if a firemen's parade of
similar proportions ever presented a
more handsome appearance hardly a
fault could be found on the enti re ag-
gregation.
And among the hundreds in line, a
word is justly due our local boys, as
they put i'll an appearance equal to the
best of all the visiting companies.
The feature of the parade was the
Hazleton Fire Department, 250 strong,
composed of several companies all of
which wore the same uniform, dark
blue with long coats and belts, appear
ing altogether like regiment of
policemen The five companies COM

wearing blue uniforms of a somewhat

apparatus also presented a striking ap-
pearance.
The Berwick and West Berwick COM
panies, with 25O men in line. were al
so an imposing section of the parade
and the citizens of the sister town
may well feel proud of their fire lad
dies
Danville was represented by three
companies of about $50 men, and al
though not yet members of the l.
County Association they presaged
much for the part this city will take
in the conventions hereafter when
they will be part of the organization.
The parade as a whole was a grand
success and reflects great credit to the
gallant fire fighters of the four county
district, and also on the commit
tee whose arrangements enabled every
thing connected with the two days of
the convention to move off with clock
like precision and complete absence
of friction.
