Preparations for the Reception Of Gen.
Grant,

Preparations for the Reception Of Gen.
Grant.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-Extensive pre-
parationS are being made for the reception OF
General Grant. Steamer City of Toxic, on
which he is to arrive, will be met outside the
heads by the yacht squadron and steamers with
the reception committee and distinguished citi-
zenS ON board. Statutes will be fired from the
forts and the city~decorated in honor of the oc-
casion
Veterans of the late war met this evening,
500 in number, and resolved to welcome Gen.
Grant with national salute from the sand
lots.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.-In reply to a tele-
graphic inquiry cable from Yokohama an
nounces that the steamer City of TOXIC on
which General Grant is a passenger, is not un-
der orders to make other than ordinary time,
and consequently it is probable that she may
not arrive here before next Sunday, although
the Pacific Mail authorities say it probable she
will make port as early as Wednesday. To pro-
vide for that contingency preparations for
General Grants reception will be so expedited
that everything will be ready at short notice
The work of decorating the streets and build
ings will be commenced tomorrow, and to-
morrow afternoon the various committees will
meet to conclude arrangements.
Defaulting Treasurer in Santa Cruz.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 13.-A dispatch from
Santa Cruz says that in counting the funds of
the county treasury to-day deficit of nearly
$24 900 was discovered. A warrant was issued
for the treasurer, George Otto who has disap-
peared, and it is feared has committed suicide.
A later dispatch from Santa Cruz says the
absence of the treasurer was merely temporary
and that he had not left the town. The vault
was found to contain some $4,000, lying around
loosely. There is nothing to show that bur-
glary was committed. The treasurer advances
no theory concerning the disappearance of the
funds. He is now under arrest and has turn
ed over his property to his bondsmen.

last evening with salute of one hundred
guns torchlght parade, bonfires and a general
illumination. The streets were thronged with
people and the rejoicing was kept up till late
hour. The procession, under command of
Col. c. V. Crossman, and headed by the Ban
gor Band, marched through Che principal
streets, making brilliant display, cheering as
they passed along. AT the residence of c.. A.
Boutelle, editor of the Wing and Courier and
member of the State Committee, halt was
made and three cheers given him.
Mr.. Boutele appeared and made brief
speech, thanking them for the honor paid him
and congratulated them ON the result of the
campaign; the adverse majority of thirteen
thousand almost obliterated carried both
Houses, securing the executive and full
board Of state officers. Penobscot county may
claim to be the banner county, having almost
wiped out tremendous majority of 1900
against us last year and gained six Republicans,
even though we failed to carry the county ticket.
He thanked Sthe Davis Guards for the noble
work done by them during the campaign,
through which they were largely indebted for
having redeemed the city. He then invited the
band and officers of the club into his house,
where refreshments were served.
The next halt was made at the residence of
Senator Hamlin, who responded to cheers by a
short but enthusiastic speech, saying the vic
tory won was one well to be proud of, as it had
been won by appeal to the reason, intelligence
and patriotism Of the people, while the
opposition had appealed to the lowest instincts
and prejudice.
He called on the clubs to maintain their Or
ganization ready for marching to a grand vic
tory in 1880, when the good old state of Maine
hould lead the Union with enc of her old
fashioned maiorities.
The last halt of the procession was at the
office of the Wing and Courier, for which
cheers were given. Mr.. Boutelle responded
and proposed three cheers for Blaine and vic
tory in 1880. Cheers were also given for Cor
poral Davis, and the lady compositors of the
Wing Office presented. a bouquet to each of the
officers of the battalion.
The demonstration was an entire success
