The Down-Town Streets Deserted and Busi. ness of All Kinds Saspended—Excursions on the River—The Jam at the Unten Depot—Forest Park and Its Picnickers, HE Fourth was not ugh. ered in locally with & boom. The big, great noise attending its birth was a crackling sound, Cannons did not beloh forth and revolvers ring out to startle the slum- berers and apprise them of the fact that the great anniversary of American independence had dawn- ed. Thecoy crack of the herald. not wake up until Jor8o’clock this morning and remembered how on other Fourths their tremble with alarm thanked Mayor Noonan for his action in forbidding the use of cannon and revolvers as meansof celebration. The fes- tive firecracker had full sway to-day. The de- mand for them was unusually large and everywhere throughout the city during the whole day after 70’clock the explosion of crackers could be heard. The purchases of fireworks this year were larger than on any previous Fourth and the pyrotechnic dis- plays this evening will doubtless be brilliant. The dealers in pyrotechnics were more de- lighted over the Mayor’s order forbidding the use of cannons and revolvers than any other persons. When the small boys had cannon and revolvers to fire off all day they were satisfied to celebrate in that manner and do without pyrotechnics. But, deprived of their principal means ¢ _ noise, what more natural than should persuade their parents chase some fireworks for th ing, 80 they mig that they bad a fkull o The dealers thought from the time was issued yaar dangerous e3 that it would have this effect and not disappointed in their anticipat was suggested in tue Post- DISPATCE day, the Mayor’s order will most have the effect also of increasing the of bonfires. The day was as perfect as one cou The sky was bright and clear, and the was not warm enough to be uncomf< Those who had made thelr arrangen attend any of the numerous picnics hei. city parks or in the suburds were rejo waking and finding what a beautitf had dawned. Young women attired in dresses with bright colored ribbons for rations and straw hats trimmed in colors, and accompanied by young i. baskets, were seen on almost every si objective point of nearly all being th: Depot. THE RAILROAD oe age 4 € being that of the Scottish Clans, whw went to Belleville. Nearly all the men anx- ious for pleasure and who did nog in pursuit of it go to some picnicor on some river excursion went to see the game ag Sportsman's Park between the Browns and the Brooklyns. The day was generally ob- served. hose who did not seek pleasure away from home took advantage of the holli- day to rest in their domicile. Business wag enerally suspended. The Merchants’ xchange andthe Mining Exchange did uot open andallthe stores east of Fourth street were closed. After the excursion boats had pulled out, that part of thecity was — | deserted. The School Board offices were al closed and so also were the Public School and Mercantile Libraries. No business what- ever was done by the banks or real estate offices, which closed last evening and will nos reopen until to-morrow morning. A few re- tail stores were open during the morning, but allthe wholesale houses gave their yn oN a chance to employ the whole day in celebrate ing in whatever manner pleased them most. The barber shops were open until 10 o'clock, and some restaurants remained open allday. The saloons being necessary means of celebration for some, of course, kept open their doors, but there was not much drunken- ness and few disturbances. — \ The City Hall was deserted. No court was held either in the Court-house, Federal Bulild- ing or Four Courts. The Post-office was con- ducted in accoidance with the holiday pro- gramme. There were two collections and only one delivery. Altogether the day was a model Fourth. quiet, reasonable manner. AT UNION DEPOT. The Union Depot was this morning the scene of busy confusion. Commencing at abouté o’cloc in the morning and continuing throughout the day the citizens of St. Louis swarmed under Jay Gould's sheds and boarded their respective trains to a dosen different destinations. Belleville and Creve Cour Lake seemed ta rank as favorites. The games of the United Scottish Clans at the former and the natural attractions at the lake acted as drawing cards and necessitated the services of several skilled operatives to satisfy the demand for tickets to these points of interest. During the day several military organiza- tions made their appearance with flying banners and glistening guns. Late last night a detachment of the National Guards of Missouri left for Roodhouse, III. to pare ate in the demonstration at that oint. is morning the Walsh Zouaves in li uniform boarded the Hannibal & St. Jo train for Hannibal, where they will to-day compete in a prize drill for semi- mili or- ganizations. The boys had but two minutes to spare, and the crowd showed its defere by giving them full headway. Sons Veterans left in two de ents, many of them taking in the excursion to Redbad, while os 1 of the mewbers joined the Belle- ville ° Private picnic parties contributed their uota to ewell the tide of exodus continued without abatement until ness men and labor- came by street car and by 1 Bag in charge o u . force of ten men, the best and enjo t. an Pg EEA FEA Se tes IN ; <a — * a * fire-cracker was its oniyx Many who did sleep was rudely disturbed at day- break by a noise which in their first waking moments made them It was generally observed, but in a leasure-seekers und Nay LATEST kom 2 K cya + e =
