FEW FATALITIES
IN ACCIDENTS
Four Deaths and 10S injured
is record i'm New York

Chicago, July 6-The promise of a
sane celebration. which Sunday and
the early part of Monday gave, was
carried out in the final results" of
the accidents here. At midnight
only 25 accidents had been reported,
the majority of a minor character.
There was only one death. The re-
cord last year was II dead and IL
injured in Chicago alone. The down.
town district was strangely silent, in
comparison with other years. The
dav was celebrated in the suburbs
and in outlying districts with home
parties and old-fashioned oratory.
The cold weather and rain dampened
the ardor of many.
One of the most serious accidents
was that in which Grove Wiley and
wife and CHI. CrosSman and wife
and child were injured. They were
thrown from a buggy. Their horse
became frightened at firecrackers.
Wiley died an hour later.
New York, July 6-Four deaths,
1875 injured, nine of them danger
ouslv, and one so seriously that
death seems certain, was the fourth
of July record in New York and
BROOKLYN up to 10 o'clock last
night.
Three of the deaths occurred Sun
day night and only one was added
to the list Monday, that of Dorothy
Dimartini. child of the upper east
side, who succumbed to the effects of
burns received by accidental ignition
Of l b,x of mathces which set her
clothing ablaze.
Last years record was seven dead
253 injured for the entire Greater
New York and indications are cas-
ualties this year will probably equal
that when all hospital and other re-
cords are available.
The lack of serious fires in New
York was commented upon last
night by Fire Chief Crocker, who
said the number had been less than
in anv previous year he could
recall.
Pittsburg, July 6.-One hundred
and eighteen scorched fingers, II
manned arms and 300 burned eyes

One fatality occurred late last
night when Esther M. Cottingham.
eleven weeks old, was struck by a
skvrocket stick while in her mothers s
arms and was killed.

Military Bali.

The military ball given by Co. f,
State Guardmen, Tuesday evening,
vas one of the happiest events in
military circles in this city for some
time. 1t was a bad night for social
e%njoyments. but the soldiers and
their beautiful companions Draved
snow drifts to find their way to the
ArmOry. The orchestra came from
Bridgewater and the music was fine.
The dancers had just room enough to
enjoy themselves as the disagreeable
weather prevented a crowd. The
soldier boys looked splendid in uni
form and the ladies thought everyone
was Just a darling" 1t was a very
happy event and much enjoyed by all.
