most striking features of the OCCASION
The president passed between two
long lines of vessels from Oakland to San
Francisco, including war ships, revenue cut
ters and large number of ocean going
steamers. All of these vessels, as we'll az
every craft lying i'll the bay, were brilliantly
illuminated with red fire and electricity,
setting oil their decorations of flags and
bunting. Wher the Piedmont arrived at
the foot of Market street tremendous
crowd was gathered, and as the party left
the steamer shout was set up which
continued several minutes. The presiden-
tlal party at once entered carriages, and
the procession started through the streets
to the Mechanics pavilion. The illumina-

THE EAST RIVER HORROR,
Byrncs Says the Police Know the Perpe-
tratNr-The Aufnnsx

Byrnes Says the Police Know the Perpc-
trator-The Autopsy.
New York. April 25.-Two men are under
arrest in connection with the murder of
Carrie Brown in hotel on Thursday night,
A pair of trousers. supposed to belong to
either "Frenchy" or the other man arrest
ed, was brought to the station this morn
ing. The spots on them may be blood
stains. They answer the description of the
trousers worn by the Woman's slayer and
were found in a Bowery lodging house
where they had been left yesterday. The
man who left them it is known, frequented
the East River hotel, where the murder was
committed.
The coroner concluded the autopsy on
the remains of the woman this Afternoon,
The only act of Importance was the dis
closure that the mutilatons were evidently
made while the woman still lived, and it
was apparent that the struggle of the poor
wretch prevented the butcher from fully
completing what he originally intended,
the removal of certain organs. Inspector
Byrnes tonight made the statement to re-
porters to the effect that while the police
have not yet arrested the murderer they
know who he is, and hope to have him in
custody before long. The murderer is a
cousin of Frenchy, or Francois Algernon,
who was arrested last night. 1t is known
that Frenchy spent Wednesday night with
the murdered woman, and staid at the ho-
tel on the night his cousin perpetrated the
lorrible crime.

The exercises were under the direction Of
Prof. j. A. Riley. Planting tress was
then in order, and before sunset fully 400
fine young trees pointed skyward from
