About the quietest night before the Fourth on record was that experienced here on Friday evening. The citizens ip general and Young America in par ticular seemed to have accepted in earnest the mayors proclamation put ting the ban on any attempt to cele- brRte the nations birthday until af- ter o'clock on the morning of the Fourth and there was practically no attempt to dodge the police, who were on the alert to see that the law was obeyed.
 One incautious ceebrator let off a few toots of a horn near the Waure- gan house corner about Il o'clock, but was promptly spotted by Sergeant Allen c. Matthews and advised to hold hours.
 In the early part of the evening some small boys were seen sitting on the steps of the Chelsea Savings bank and when a trolley came along and set off whole string of dynamite caps with which the track had been loaded, it did not take a Sherlock Holmes to see a connection between the boys and the caps and the car. Policeman Pat rick Murphy's arrival and a few searching questions that he put to the boys. terminated the celebration at that point for the rest of the eve ming.
 One arrest was made In Greeneville arising through the arrival of the Fourth of July. Frank Simouski claimed that as he was going along Fourth street Aleck Moraski, who lives on Fourth street, stuck his head out of the window of his home, and snap ping a cap pistol in his face, filling Simouski's face full of powder. Si- mouslxi, with his face plentifully pitted with the powder marks, complained to Supernumerary John Do1nbrowski. who arrastnd Moraakf and ha was brought to police headquarters and locked up.
 As the stores were open there were big crowds on the streets, but they were orderly and made no attempt at premature expressions of patriotism.

For several days now he has had his men looking around where collections of rubbish might have ae- eumulated and warning the property owners and tenants te clean out these danger spots.
 The fremen will be on duty today and telephone calls for incipient fires will be effective.
 Men with lighted cigars should re- member and keep out of the fireworks department of stores and boys should leave lighted punk on the outside wheT making purchases of fireworks.
