The following takes no account of the race riots or mur ders of the day, but gives an in complete idea of what it costs the American ieople to celebrate the glorious Fourth. Incomplete returns show a loss following celebration accidents, of more than $150,000. The toy pistol has been over shadowed this year by the ' dyna mite cane,' a contrivance which deals death and destruction in near ly every instance. Detailed reports of the casualty lists show that larce number of persons were the victims of malicious mischief, ruffi auly boys and men in the larger cities taking pains to maim little children and aged people. In two cases, aged persons were ingnt ened to death by revolvers.

A small mortar for the purpose of throwing bombs into the air was leing used, and a bomb became fastened in it and exploded, and neces of steel were hurled several hundred feet across the lagoon among the spectators.

Eight persons in various parts of the city were badly injured. Tacoraa, July 4, The fireworks which were to have been set off here last evening in Wright Park as a finish to the big Fourth of July celebration caught fire Irom almost the first rocket that was sent up. and in an instant the entire heap of explosives was flying in every direction. About four dozen eight pound rockets flew through the audience of 30 000 persons, creating a panic in which many were injur ed. Others were struck by the fly iug explosives, and it is estimated that as many as 50 were injured none fatally. THE ENCAMPMENT AND CELEBRATIOf The Veterans Enjoyed Every Min uto Fourth of July Crowd Larg oat Ever Seen Hero. A. D. McGahey Dead. The coroner was called to the George Ilartuess farm, seven miles southwest of this city, last Satur day to investigate the death of Al bert D. Gahey, who died suddenly at that place. The coroner decid ed that death was caused by cere bal hemorrhage. Deceased was Iwrn in New York and came to Oregon in 1867, where, with the exception of a few year's residence in California, ' he has re sided continuously in Washington county. A wife and two sons at Hillsboro survive him. Suicide at Forest Grove. James Sloan, owner ot the Forest Grove Hotel, and son of S. A Sloan, an old Oregonian pioneer committed suicide early on the morning of July 2, by shooting himself three times in the abdomen, the last bullet passing upward and entering the heart. Deceased was of a morose disp'o sition and was subject to tempor ary spells of dementia. He had been acting strangely for severil days. No one heard the shooting, and it is not certain at what hour it took place, but the housekeeper entered his room about 9 o'clock and found it full of smoke. On further investigation the dead man was found sitting in his chair, with the revolver lying on the floor in front of him. His pipe was on the window sill beside hira, and tobac co fumes mingled with the burnt- powder smoke in the air Iu the absence of the coroner an inquest was held by the justice of the peace, the finding being that death "resulted from bullet wounds inflicted with suicidal intent. James Sloan was born in New York State and came to Oregon with his parents when five years of age lie was 49 years ot age and had resided in Forest Grave for 35 years, McMinnville July 6 C. R.

The annual reunion of the Wash ington County Yeterans' nssocia Hon, wnicli was held in tins city from June 30 to July 4th, was not largely attended, but it certainly was the most enjoyable meeting the veterans have had for inanv years. Very little was done Thurs day beside arranging camp, greet ing old friends and renewing ac quaintances. Alter the evening session was called to order the first business meeting was held and com mittees appointed. On Friday morning everything about the camp presented a lively appearance. Many of the "boys' arose with the sun, fires were soon lighted and the aroma of coffee and ham mingled with the delicious odor of the giant fir trees which shielded the veterans from the rays of the sun which came up like huge ball of fire and shot down its boiling heat upon the parched earth until it dropied from sight in the west. After the morning meal was over, the association was called to or der, and at 9:30 a large number of citizens joined the veterans, the Womens' Auxiliary and the visit rors, and the program for the day began in earnest. There were speeches bv citizens and guests, an address of welcome by Mayor Cor nelius and response by Comrade II. V. Gates, both interesting and listened to with marked attention. A balloon ascension completed the forenoon's exercises. The afternoon attractions com menced at 1:30 with' exercises by the Forest Grove and Cornelius schools, which consisted of reci tations, songs and reading, all of which were very good indeed. The Hillsboro band furnished delightful music at every session, morning, afternoon and evening during the whole encampment. At 8 o'clock the veterans held their campfire, told stories, talked of old times when war was h , and at a late hour went to their tents, a tired. but all the same, a jolly, happy crowd. The program of Saturday consist ed of speeches, by citizens and vis itors, balloon ascension, exercises by the Hillsboro schools and closed much the same as the eveuiug previous. The marching and flig drill by the Hillsboro rchools were among the most pleasing feature of the day, demonstrating that consider able time had been given to prac tice. The singing by the quartet was loudly applauded. The union services on the ground on Sunday was something the sol diers and the large number of citi zens present will long rememler. The sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Selleck, pastor of the Sunny Side M. K. church of Portland, and a more able, eloquent or patriotic discourse has never been heard in this vicinity. His remarks were earnest, full of love for the old sol dier and the flag and every word he uttered went to the hearts ot the great crowd that had gathered to attend the open-air services. The adies of the R. C. sang several elections and the music by a choir of Hillsboro ladies and gentleman was a strong feature of the splen did exercises. At a o'clock there was a sacred concert given by the Hillsloro and Forest Grove bands which was listened to with pleas ure by fully five hundred people. A sacred concert at 8 o'clock closed the exercises for the day and ter minated one of the most successful encampments the veterans have ever held in Washington county. The association elected the fol- owing officers for the year: Presi dent. K. J. Groat. Scholls; first vice- president, C. C. Hoopes, Gaston; second vice-president, S. Lincoln, Glencoe; secretary, H. G. Fitch, Cornelius; treasurer, Mr. Howell kaverton; chaplain, F. A. Haines Hillsboro; custodian of the colors, Mr. McNutt. The association will i The meet in th rAcrotur ..nii.ntitiii it I riable. session the first Thursday iu Oc to!er in this city. The ladies of the Women's Aux iliary to the Washington County Veterans' association held their an nual meeting at'the sams time the veterans did theirs; they were out in full force during the entire encamp ment, and it is very much due to them that the meeting was so suc cessful. At their meeting on Sat urday they elected the following officers: Mrs. M. IJ. Sabin, presi dent; Mrs. Alice Barber, senior vice-president; Mrs. Mary Groen- dyke, junior vice-president; Mrs. L. L. North, secretary; Mrs. Sarah McNutt, treasurer; Mrs. Jennie Haines, chaplain. The Fourth was ushered in by the small boy along alout sunrise with the usual noise and demon strations of patriotic glee. The morning trains let off at this sta tion the largest crowd of visitors ever seen in Hillsboro at one time. the number being estimated at be tween 6,000 and 8,ooo. At 9:30 the procession formed on Main street and marched to Warren's grove where the exercises of the day were held. After invocation by Rev. Curran, Miss Lena Parker of Gaston recited the Declaration of In dependence in a loud, clear voice, which brought forth many express ions of praise from her admirers. Hon. C. W. Fulton, United States senator, of Astoria, thc-u delivered the oration of the day. Ii was a masterly speech, running over with patriotism, full of love of country and was well received and frequent- y applauded. Mr. Fulton is a pleasant gentleman to meet and has numerous friends and admirers in this section. The afternoon was devoted to sports of various kinds, and the ex ercises wound up with a dance in the evening. Very few accidents happened during the day, and none of a ser ious nature. While Mr. Crandall was photographing the "liberty car" the rack on the wagon tipped, throwing the girls to the ground. Lucy Weatherred was injured about the head, but not seriously.
