That Change is Necessary in
Line of March.
UNION FLOAT Will BE FINE
Miss Clara Main Chosen to Take
Charge Of Information of
Parade.

The Fourth of July committee hel(
a long session Tuesday evening anC
closed up some more details for Lew
istOwn's big celebration. Reports We're
| received showing that nearly all of the
business houses will have floats in the
parade. and the procession will be such
long one that it was deemed neces
sary to change the line of march some
what. This matter will not be finally
settled for few days. but a tentative
route was decided upon as follows
The Line Of March.
Parade to form on First avenue, un
der the direction of Edward Martin
marshal Of the day, and aides, and
at 10 o'clock will move along Main
street to Fifth avenue; thence out or
Fifth avenue to COrcoran street
thence on Corcoran street to Third
avenue; thence on Third avenue tC
Main street; thence on Main street
to Fourth avenue; thence on Fourth
avenue to the reviewing stand, where
the addresses will be delivered.
The Union Float.
1t is apparent that one of the finest
things in the whole parade will be the
Union float. on which will be seated
the Goddess Of Liberty and As young
ladies, representing all the states in
the union. The committee was fortu
nate enough to secure the services ol
Miss Clara Main to supervise the task
of getting up this float, and the young
ladies participating should consult
with her. The float will be built on the
Spring Creek Coal company's grounds
and the participants will assemble al
the Presbyterian church at $50 sharp
At that time they will take theil
places on the float and be driven tc
their position in the line In order tC
insure absolute safety. experienced
horsemen will act as footmen, ant
march at the head of .rspb o. che three
teams.
The ladies' are at work on the floats
for the floral parade, a prize of $2E
having been offered for the best noa
in this division, and they will make
a very attractive display.
Formation of the Parade.
The praade, as now decided upon
but subject to slight changes, will bt
as follows: The Kendall uniformed
brass band will have the position a
