SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1905
No.   44
T
Showing the Receipts and Disbursements for the Fourth of July
Celebration as Reported by
the Committee.
The Gommittee having in charge
the Fourth of July celebration, desires to express its sincere thanks
forthe contributions entrusted to
it for this purpose, as well as
the words of approval given it
for the satisfactory effort. It
seems to have been the almost
unanimous opinion that the -Fourth
of July just past, for various reasons, was more satisfactorily spent
than many of 'its predecessors.
First, the concentrating of the fireworks in one place, and likewise
confining the noise to a certain
zone, we believe is a custom that
will receive much encouragement.
Tbe Gommittee wishes to especially thank the Sewickley Troop
Band for its services, which were
given without compensation, and
which were greatly appreciated by
everybody.
To the officials of the Y. M. G. A,
we extend our thanks in the fullest
manner possible for the use of the
grounds and other assistance given
us.
To Messrs. Hegner & Son for
fireworks, Mr. Ghas. Becker for
storage, and Messrs. Jno. McMil-
len's Sons for use of lumber and the
hauling of same. To Yee Lee and
others for their tender of firecrackers, which were appreciated
by all, and their services in putting
them off, as well as the public in
general we wish to extend our sincere thanks,
Your Gommittee appends below
the full report, showing all collections and disbursements, and as
we have tried to make it absolutely
correct, we trust our efforts may
not have been futile,
After due consideration of a surplus that exists, we have decided
to place the same in the First Na
tional Bank of Sewickley, for the
purpose of the Fourth of July celebration 1906, and subject to the
checking of same by present chairman for the above specified purpose.
Should the fund not be used for
this purpose on or before July 5th,
1906, then the same shall be donated to some institution designated by the Gouncil of the Borough of Sewickley. Should the
present Ghairman be absent, by removal or otherwise, at the above
time designated, the money shall
then be drawn by order of Borough
Gouncil for celebration purposes,
otherwise in absence of this, for
charity as indicated.
The surplus was caused by a
number of pledges not being received until too late for use in the
celebration. Following is the treasurer's statement:

HOSPITAL COMMITTEE.
Regular Monthly Meeting Was Held
at the Home of Mr. George
E. McCague.
The Hospital Gommittee, at a
regular monthly meeting yesterday
at the home of Mr. George E. McGague, Academy avenue, looked
over the plans for the new building
and suggested changes. The
alterations were proposed by Mrs.
Stieren, Miss Bittinger, Mr. McCague and Mr. A. G. Robinson.
Mr. A. B. Harlow's plans are too
expensive, and the architect was
asked to modify the plans so as to
make same less expensive.
Proceeds of the masqudrade ball
given at the Edgeworth Glub house
in February ($500), were turned
over to the treasurer.
The next meeting will be called
whenever the modified plans are
ready to be submitted.
ACCOMMODATION "SIDE-SWIPED"
Tuesday   morning   last   was   a
exciting   period   in   the lives   of
several  Sewickley men, for they
narrowly escaped death in- a railroad wreck.   At 6.SO the accommodation which leaves Leetsdale
at 6, was turning the curve which
crosses Marion avenue, near Allegheny depot.     It was "swiped" by
the engine of a Pan Handle freight
going west.    The combination baggage and smoking car was badly
wrecked.   Its windows were shattered woodwork torn off and seats
tumbled over the aisle.   The Sewickleyans   injured   were   in   the
smoker.     Mr.  William Millner, of
Gentennial avenue, was cut on the
.eyebrow, receiving a wound which
was stitched at the Allegheng General Hospital.    Mr. John Nash, of
Green street, had a narrow escape.
He was cut by broken glass and
covered with upset seats and went
to the Allegheny Hospital before
coming home.    James Garrett, of
Logan street, suffered a collapse
from the shock of the collision and
was slightly cut.   Andrew Ebaugh,
a conductor, suffered a fracture of
two ribs, and was taken to Mercy
Hospital.   It is stated that a signal
to stop was displayed, but was ignored by the engineer of the freight
train.
Early Morning Blaze.
An alarm of fire was sounded on
Thursday morning about one
o'clock, that called the department
to Peebles and Washington streets.
The fire was discovered by a railroad man returning from work, and
the blaze was confined to the rear
part of the building, which is occupied by Mr. E. L, Richardson. It
is supposed to have originated from
a burning gas jet. The loss by fire
was not heavy, but considerable
damage was done by water.
