Most cities of America reported more deaths from automobile acci- dents and drowning than from ill- timed explosions of firecrackers and Roman candies, which gives. birth to the news that the new age in which explosives toll of the Fourth was greater than the casualty tist in the battle of Lexington, is finally a matter of history. Philadelphia and Boston both re- ported yesterday as the “safest and sanest Fourth” of history and most other Jarge cities of the east re ported only. a few mishaps.” BRUSSELS, July 5.—The: Amor- ican flag was hoisted over the city hall and dspizyed on many other houses in Brussels yesterday in honor of the American tational holiday.
