Past Commander Grand Army of the Republic. 1
The interior of the building was very hand |
somely decorated. 1t is estimated that one
thousand persons were present. Grant was
presented to many of his old comrades-in- |
arms, and passed half an hour very pleasant
ly. The General and party will leave for the |
Cascades Tomorrow morning, returning the |
same day, and on Friday morning the party |
is expected to sail on the St. Paul for San
Francisco. He had received numerous tele-
grams from various portions of the State and

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15.--A Globe. Democrat
special from Independence, Mo-, says: Two
| desperadoes named Stevens and Campbell
| were arrested at Holden, Mo-, last night, on
suspicion of having been engaged in the rob-
bery of an express train at Glendale on last
Wednesday night. They live in the vicinity
| of Holden, but were absent from home for
two days before and after the robbery, and re-
turned with considerable money. They
| were shadowed by detectives, and their ac-
| tions led to their arrest. They We're taken to
Kansas City this afternoon and lodged in
Jail. The opinion is freely expressed that the
whole gang live in Jackson and adjoining
counties, and have been secreted within fif-
teen miles of Glendale until some 36 hours
ago.
SUrRo, New, Oct. 15.-Yestertlay about
O'Clock connection was made by the north
lateral branch of the Sutro tunnel with the
drift from the main Comstock shaft. The
current of air has strong down cast and is a
great advantage, for it insures in advance q
supply of pure air whereby the north branch,
which is being advanced at the rate of ten
feet per day, can be driven with still greater
speed. The air goes down the main shaft
through the north branch in great volumes
and finds its exit through the Savage and ad-
iacent shafts, greatly beneftting all parties.
Prospecting drifts running northerly and
southelly on the foot and hanging walls of
the large ledge intersected by the main tunnel
at 11,7O0 feet from the entrance, are most
encouraging, showing assays of from SIS to
$40 to the ton. When crosscutting is COM
menced it is confidently expected, from the
fair milling rock already met with, that
Bonanza may be encountered.
