GOLD SPIKE, Mont, Sept. 0.-When the
Willard excursionists arrived yesterday they
found a splendid train from Portland bear
ing prominent citizens of that section who
were to participate in the ceremony of driv-
ing the golden spike of the Northern Pacific
railroad. There were hearty greetings
between the guests from the East
and West. A magnificent pavilion had
been erected capable of seating thou
sand people, over which fla,ed the Amcr.
can, German and British colors. There was
an extensive promenade to the road led
skired by platform with comfortable seats.
The Fifth U. S. infantry band, which came
from Fort Keogh, furnished music. The
ceremonies were opened by President Viii
lard who divided the honors of the en-
thusiastic multitude with Gen. Grant.
MIR. Wizards address was received
with tremendous applause. Ex-Secvetary
Evarts the orator of the occasion was heartily
AZ paudcd. Secretary Teller, ex-President
Blllngs. Sir James Hammer (who spoke for
tie British guests) and the German minister,
Won Eisendecker, were among those who
addressed the assemblage. There were loud
cries for Gen Grant As the General came
forward the air was rent with cheers. He
made few remarks suitable to the occasion.
de greatly pleased the audience which was
largely made up Of veterans, who became
wild when he said these intercontinental
railroads would amount to little had
it not been for the men who after
the war sought the territories as fields of en-
terprise. They had made these railroads
possible and prosperous. At the conclusion
of his speech three cheers were given. The
ioreign guests were given seats on the plat
form by the railroad. A photograph was
taken of them, Willard and family and the
most distinguished Americans. After that
horse that had helped build the road from
the start was brought upon the plat
form. Then 800 men with brawny
arms quickly laid the iron and drove
the spikes on 1000 feet of uncompleted
track, except the last spike. During the pro.
gicss OF the work, which was witnessed by
the foreigners with amazement, the band
played aud the people shouted. When
nearly completed cannon salute was fired
by detachment Of the Fifth infantry. The
last spike was driven by ii. G. Davis, assist
ant general passenger agent OF the road, who
drove the first spike in the opening Of the
road and his spike was the same one first
driven by him. Three to five thousand pcp-
pie were present. The enthusiasm was in
describabe AT the conclusion of the cere-
monies the trains were reformed and the
guests departed.

blow up Rev. G. A. Obershaire, organizer Of
"Tbc Pilgrims" who are Extensively pc.
