THE FOURTH AT HOLLY

ly's celebration of the Fourth
last week was the cleanest that
this part of the state has ever
seen. Everybody had good

went off well. There was
large crowd, and the night wa,
given over to innocent revelry,
but there were no drunks. no
fights and no accidents. Every
thing was done decently and in
order. The Small Boy and his
Flrecracker provided the usual
innocent fright for the ladies';
otherwise there would have been
no fright as all horses were on
their good behavior, not even re-
senting the long lines of auto
mobiles whosee inmates had
come to celebrate.
The business people who ca
tered to the crowd did a thriv-
ing trade, and there were ice
cream soda and ice cream enough
sold to float ship.

which occurred at ten o'clock in
the morning Yves rich IN ingeaa-

The Chieftain was represented

IN HONOR OF EVANS
CHILEAN FLEET GAVE HIM A
VICE ADMIRAL'S SALUTE.

PUNTA ARENAS, Chile, February 8
The American battleship feet arrived at
this place Saturday after a pleasant run
from Rio de Janeiro. coming to anchor
at noon The Chilean cruiser Chacabuco
and the British cruiser Sappho were in
the harbor. and they both saluted the
American flag.
The Chacabuco as a special courtesy
from the Chilean navy. gave Admiral
Evans a vice admirars salute instead OF
the one due a rear admiral. following the
example set by the Brazilian navy when
the fleet was at Rio de Janeiro. Aboard
the Chacabuco was Admiral Simpson OF
the Chilean navy, the vice minister of
marine, who came here on a special mis-
sion to welcome the Americans to Chilean
territory, and John Hicks, the American
of marine will have charge Of the off,
cial entertainments to be given to the
American officers here.
After the fleet came to anchor the usual
official calls were exchanged. at which
more than the usual formal cord1a1ty
was noticeable. Apparently the entire
population of the city turned out to see
the American ships. and the town was
gaily decorated with flags In honor OF
the occasion. Here, as at Rio Rear Ad-
squadron of the third division of the
fleet. will do the social honors in place of
Rear Admiral Evans.
Features of the Trip.
The most noteworthy feature of the trip
south from Rio occurred January 16
when four Argentine warships, which had
been dispatched for the purpose. met the
American fleet of the mouth Of the Rio
de la Plata, when national salutes were
exchanged. The crews of the various
ships cheered each other, and Admiral
Olivia, commanding the Argentine squad
ron, and Rear Admiral Evans exchanged
cordial greetings by means of the wire
less telegraph. The courtesy was an un-
precedented one. The ceremonies lasted
forty minutes.
Admiral Olivia missed the fleet at first.
owing to the thick and heavy weather
that was prevailing. He, however. found
the tender Yankton and the supply ship
Culgoa, which were proceeding slowly on
account of the weather conditions, and
from them he learned the position of the
fleet. He then sent wireless message
notifying the Americans that he would
catch up with them. and steaming at the
rate of fifteen knots, he overhauled them
after an hours chase, as the fleet was
making only ten knots an hour.
Frank Tew. an oiler on the Maine. died
from pertonitis and was buried at sea
January 26.
The report that Capt. E. F. Green of
the army transport service had been de-
tailed to join the fleet and pilot it through
the Strait of Magellan was untrue. AS
a matter of fact, the navigation OF the
strait is not as difficult as entering the
harbor of New York or Boston. Admiral
Evans says that any one of his officers is
competent to take the fleet through it.
The fiotilla of torpedo boat destroyers,
which visited Buenos Aires on invitation
of the Argentine government is expected
to arrive here Tuesday next

HARRISBURG GRAFT TRIAL.
Defense Fights Against Admission
of Evidence

HARRISBURG, Pa. February 3.-Evi-
dence showing that Contractor John H.
Sanderson sold furniture to the state
prior to securing the contract for furnish
ing the new capitol on the linear foot"
basis instead of by the surface measure
ment" was introduced by the common
wealth at the trial In the Dauphin county
court today of the alleged fraud cases.
The schedule of 1893 for state supplies un-
der which Sanderson was given the con-
tract for furniture and other documents
showing that he was paid by the linear
foot on this contract were offered in evil
dence to show that the per foot" rule
OF measuring furniture, as originally
adopted by the state. applied only to the
linear foot
The defense objected to the introduction
OF this evidence. and long side-bar ar
gument. as to its admissibility followed.
Judge Kunkel ruled that the papers were
admitted only 30 far as they affected San
derson The purpose of the offer was to
show that Sanderson knew that the mas
urement of the capitol furniture was false.
The case proceeded slowly today. and 1t
looks now as IL the end will not be reached
before the middle of oxt week.
