New Yorx, July 4.—The day is cool and pleasant and the numerous events customary to the occasion are being celebrated with enthus- insm. ‘The flag was raised on the battery at sunrise by Veteran Wm. R. Forbes and a salute fired by « detachment of United States artillery. Survivors of the old one hundred and fifth New York regulars hoisted the flag on the old fort in Central Park. For the first time since the evacuation by the British in 1788 Fort George was included today in the places of celebration and Igren Post, G. A. R., un- furled the flag there. Excursions, bell ring- ng. fireworks and patriotic speeches are the or: au ler of the day in all parts of the city and its burbs. A big meeting, beginning at 10a.m., was held in the wigwam under the auspices of the Tam- many Bi , at which Senator Colquitt of Georgia and Congreseman Crisp of Georgia delivered the principal orations, and Congressman Me- Millan of Tennessee and othere also spoke. WHAT BILL AND CLEVELAND SAID. At the conclusion of the speeches the secretary read a number of replies to the invitations of the society from distinguished democrats. Ex- President Cleveland wrote that he was un- able to attend the celebration, but hoped that the designs of the promoters of the celebration to make the occasion one “of exceptional significance and ex- tended effects” would be fully realized. Th day could only be appropriately celebrated. hi said, by awakening and serving in the heart the le that spirit of patriotism upon which the independence of the nation was founded. Every citizen on this day should re- new his unqualified allegiance to his govern- ment and soberly realize that neither social nor political in life could be maintained unless on the priuciple of unselfish love of country. Gov. Hill wrote: “The celebrations of thie historic day not only serve to revive patriotic feeling, but have become worthy occasions for ‘the wholesale discussion of contemporaneous political issues and tendencies, which stir popular interest in public affairs and influences the course of public eventa.” He referred to the fact that at last year's celebration of the society when the south was being threatened by the measure known as the “force bill, was the first to give ear to P) of the southern democrats to their northern brethren and through its statesmen and orators sounded the key fiote of alarm, which aroused the democrats throughout the coun- try and started that wrath of Ropeler sentiment which eventually overwhelmed that iniquitous measure. The retribution also last fall emphatically that popular sentiment was against par- constantly menacing the people Constitution and calling for constant watchfulness, and no more suitable occasion to have their discussion can be found than on the anniversary of American independence. eames SURFACE CKOSSING PERILS. A Street Car Ran Down in Chicago by a Rail- road Train. Cucago, July 4.—At 8 o'clock this morning a northwestern freight train struck a street car on the Rockwell street crossing and injured five of the rs.

All the injured were removed to the power house of the West Division Street Railway Com- pany except the unknown man, who was taken 10 the county hospital. Everything goes to show gross carelessness on the part of the men in charge of the railway crossing. It i reported that there were no proper guards on the track and no warning to the engineer that a car with e living load was in bis way. The train was moving at a rapid rate when it struck the car.

Slattery Makes His Appearance With the Senators and Acquits Himself With Credit —Games Elsewhere Throughout the Coun- , tty Today and Yesterday. OUISVILLE'S BALL Toss- ers fell unwilling victims to the Senators this morning <in the game at National ‘Park. The game was close and exciting throughout and an extra inning was re- : quired to bring it toa con- clusion. The score was 5 to 4 in favor of Washington. The home team won through sheer good luck, aided by the great work of McGuire and some timely batting by Slattery, the new fielder. The best fielding was done by Louis- ville, not an error being made beyond Cabill’s muff of a hard foul. The feature of the game was s wonderfully Jong home-run hit by McGuire. with two men on the bases in the fourth and his sprightly, accurate work behind the bat. Slattery, barring & piece of bad judgment on Donovan's ball in the first inning, played well and batted hard. It was a beautiful day for ball playing. The sun was warm, but there was a good breeze stirring and thore was no danger of any one’s being overcome by the hoat. The grounds were somewhat soft in the outfield, but the diamond and alleys were reasonably firm. The crowd was immense, and reminded folks of the open- ing day, when every seat in the bleachers was fon. Qaly the east end showed a bare spot hore and there. The stand was about half filled. A careful estimate placed the attendance out 2,600. Umpire’ Davie—Big Jim Davis, who essayed to cover third for Washington earlier in the seaton—was somewhat late in calling “play,” and it was 10:15 when Lawrence Patrick Mur- phy, Wearing a new black cap, for luck, stepped the rubber. ‘THE TEAMS. The teams played as follows: Washington— Murphy, Lf.; Dowd, 2d b.; Hatfield, s.s.; Slat- tery, of; McQuery, Ist b.; Daily, r.f.; Me- guire, c.: Alvord, 3d b.; Foreman, p.

Hatfiold was hit equarely in the back by the first bull pitched and limped to first to the sound of the applause which walked forth to bat. Slattery had no chance and was caught napping. Donovan opened the inning for Louisville by banging a long ‘ly out to center, which Slattery misjudged and the runner made third. The crowd applauded and a man on the bleachers fired off a big cracker. Cahill lifted a nice fly to left, which was caught, but Murphy held the ball a second and Donovan scored. Weaver Planked one down into right for » base, and lennings made safe one a little more to- ward center. Donovan was coaching -and yelled out: “Who says we can’t hit in the morn- ing?” Weaver, who went to third on the hit, scored when Dowd muffed McGuire's throw down to catch Jennings.

Louis- » O— In the third McGuire tried for the right fence, and had it not been for Wolf's marvel- ous catch near the corner he would have been credited with bagger. Alvord hit little one to Bell and was out at first. A foul ball from Foreman’s bat went near the sky and then went through Cahill’s hands. Another foul went over the fence anda new ball came out, which Foreman hit so hard that it rolled to the center field backstop and the runner rested on second. Murphy lined a safe single past first and Foreman scored. Murphy stole second, but Dowd put up a high foul to Jen- nings and the side was out. As the Colonels came in for their half Capt. Donovan kicked on the presence of about fifty people sitting on the grass in left field, and there was a delay of nearly five minutes, during which a spectator presented Alvord’ with a monstrous fire cracker, which he fired off with a borrowed match. Aivord had to clear the debris off third before the game could go on. ‘Donovan had two strikes when he flied out to Daily and Cahill went to first on balls.

Wolf struck out for the second time. bird inning—Washington,1—1. Louisville \—3. Manager Chapman at this juncture came to the conclusion that the bench provided for the visitors was too sunny and he had it moved to the other side of the stand, where he and the Colonels were protected. Fourth inning—Hatfield flied to Jennings and Slattery went out from Ryan to Stratton. MeQuery and Daily were given first on balls and then the Fourth of July spirit of the crowd had a chance to explode. It was Mr. McGufre who caused the rnmpus. He was expected to do something, and he did He waited for a good ball and finally it square and fair, and it started off toward Freedman's Hospital with great speed. It dropped over the fence fair, and thus McGuire has the honor of making the first homer over the left field fence at the new park. Th» noise was tremendous. Firecrackers were set off and the crowd rose solidly and yelled, A man in the grand stand presented McGuire with a $5 bill—which he accepted as ® matter of form. ‘Then Alvord flied to Weaver.

Yesterday's game of ball between the Washington Jund Cincinnati teams pre- wented some queer features. It was both ‘tighiy excit- ing and intensely dull. It was positively disgusting in Ges times, an it me pro- ductive of the wildest en- thusinaem. For practically fourteen innings the teams struggled for mastery, but howd before the third man was put out in the fourteenth for Cincinnati a heavy shower arose and scattered all hopes of a finish. The score then stood 3 to. RE e credit for not winn! e belo to Murphy and Hines for their bed base ure ning; that for not losing it is ‘s and Dowd’s. Carsey never pitched so as be did yesterday. He seemed to do exactly what he wanted to do and to have the right ideas all the time. Had he received the support that he deserved Fell pen ing, when two bits were san‘ in with two errors, the game would have been won. On the other hand Little Willie Mains did about as well in the box as Carsey, and it was no wonder that Washington could not bat. The way that the Senators popped up flies for the fielders to catch was 1g. Twenty- three men on the home team went out in this =u In the fifth, sixth and seventh innings eight men in succession put up sky-scrapers which were properly attended to.

Uncle Jeremiah Smith, the distinguished major domo of the Executive Mansion, came to the conclusion this morning that the day was too great an* occasion to be passed over with any ordinary happenings, and that some- thing out of the usnal order should take place to show the appreciation on the part of the administration of the fact that this is the birthday of the nation. | Accordingly when he formed his matutinal duty of hoisting the ig that floats over the White House daily, he went so far in his enthusiasm as to put it up with the Union side down and thus he caused the signal of distress to go to the breeze. He did this once before and he bas never re- covered from the shock that followed the dis- covery of the fact.
