concert at the Brook street play- 
ground Monday afternoon more tham 
Deacon Low, who, though almost 96 
years old, walked to the grounds and 
enjoyed the celebration with the rest 
of the big crowd. In another column

The apparatus was called to the 
Cove Wednesday afternoon, shortly 
after 3 o’clock, to a fire in a small 
cottage house owned by Robert S. 
Minot, commonly known as the “ Old 
Sargent House.” The fire is said to 
have been caused by the boiling over 
of akettle of fat being used in cooking 
doughnuts. The house was occupied 
by Oliver Gilman. The building was 
badly damaged, the estimated loss 
being in the vicinity of $2,500, $1,000 
of which is on the house and the rest 
on the furniture and belongings of the 
Gilmans. It is said $300 in money 
was among the things consumed by 
the flames. Mrs. Gilman was slightly 
burned. .

FOURTH IN MANCHESTER. 
Large Crowds Enjoy Celebration. 
The glorious Fourth, Young Amer- 
ica’s festive day, has come and gone, 
and in Manchester it proved unevent- 
ful. The weather, though somewhat 
cool, was splendid, and crowds gath- 
ered at the various points during the 
day to witness the events, to enjoy 
the music and to watch the fireworks 
in the evening. Large numbers came 
from out of town, especially in the 
evening. 
The day’s celebration started as 
soon as the clock struck 12 Monday 
morning, and it ceased not until mid- 
night Monday. The celebration, how- 
ever, was not of the rough, untasteful 
kind, the police not finding occasion 
to make one arrest during the whole 
day. Everything was in good order, 
and the endeavors made by the city 
and state authorities for a saner 
Fourth were felt here. Chief Peabody 
had all the special officers on duty for 
the night before and on Monday. | 
Though Young America was on 
deck as soon as Monday morning 
started with his firecrackers, revolvers 
and pistols, the real celebration did 
not start till 2 o’clock, when the bon-
