DENVER, Aug. 10. = The visiting
knights spent the day in seeing sights
and in social intercourse. The principal
event OF the day outside of the meeting of
the grand encampment was an exhibit
ton drill in River Front Park. Only
Two commanders entered, they being the
st. Bernardo of Chicago and California
No. /. They will each receive hand
some souvenirs, probably in the shape Of
silver bricks.
The California knights drilled first.
Ihey were mounted on handsome black
horses and attired in black suits trimmed
with silver. They presented handsome
appearance. There were twenty-five
men in line, headed by six trumpeters
from the Seventh United States Cavalry,
Clusters lighting musicians. Sir r. p.
Huriburt was in command, and the men
were: j. p. Fraser, G. w. Bennett, j. f.
Logan, X. j. Lisen, c.. c. Moran, J. C.
Terry, Thomas Norton, J. +. Clark, II.
ii. Williams, James McCrassin, George
Haas, Hon. Anton Kreig, Senator j. +.
kelly, q. II. Umbsen, w. w. Mitchell,
Lieutenant III. p. Dali, J. e. Peck, Leoni
Stratton; Adolph Homada, Colonel j. L.
Crowley, Paul Baetticher, George Harms,
1nonaS Flnt, Jr., and w. h. A. Titus.
The various cavalry revolutions were
gone through. Columns, diamonds.
crosses and circles were formed amid the
greatest applause, and the commandery
retired, knowing that they had pleased
the people.
rne st. Bernardo followed on foot and
gave fine exemplification of Templar
tactics.
The California Knights held reception
TO visiting Knights to-day. Their differ
ent headquarters were crowded all day.
The streets presented an animated APP
pearance, bands passing frequently, fol-
lowed by plumed Knights.
To-nlghts bicycle parade was grand
! success. Nearly q thousand wheelmen
were in line, and they made a unique
spectacle as they passed with many col
Ored lanterns and other decorations.
Tomorrow the Knights viii be treated
to parade and exhibition by the Denver
Fire Department.
Routine business of the Grand Encamp-
nent was handled expeditiously at to-
days session. The grand officers reports
were presented and adopted. They
showed the Knights Templar of America
to be i'll excellent shape, the total mem
bership being 92,79l, with cash resources
Of $25, 325. The report of the special COM
mittee on the ritual of the Red Cross and
Iemplar Order was unanimously adopted
1t is almost certain that Judge Hugh
McCurdy of Michigan will be elected

Francisco will probably be Grand Gen

dell has returned here from Boston,

pose OF putting electric lights and water

Orange Avenue. which will connect the
two places. Work will begin at once.
The Colorado River was within one
inch, last Saturday night, of the highest
point ever reached at the same date, hav-
ing risen fourteen inches during the
week. The river has cut out an immense
channel at the crevaSSe made last year
fifteen miles below FL Rio, and at least
three-tourthS of the water in the Colorado
is running to the southwest into Lake
Jullulu and New River. Carter River
and Riley Slough, which supply water
that runs into Salton through East River,
and which were damned at the mouth
by drift few days ago, are being opened
again by the rising of the Colorado
There IS no danger that Saltop Lake will
be tllIed up again this season. The water
will probably hold it's own for a few
weeks and then gradually subside.
Reliable information is received that
the Frenchman's mine, lost for nearly
thirty years, has just been found in Eagle
Tail Mountains, thirty miles south of
Harqua Hala.
The output of the Bonanza mines at
Harqua Hala passed through here yester-
day, en- route to San Francisco. in the
shape of gold bar valued at S3S, 700.
This was for July.

MEMPHIS (Tenn.), Aug. 1O.-This city
was thrown into a state of intense excite
ment when the announcement appeared
in this mornings paper that Governor
Buchanan had committed the sentence of
Colonel II. Clay King, who was to have
been hanged on the 18th instant for the
murder of d. III. Poston, to imprison-
ment for life. The Appeal UaEanche, in
this mornings issue, criticises severely
the action of the Governor in committing
the sentence, and this evening the
Scinaita1' vehemently denounces him in a
sensational editorial. These publications
aroused intense feeling, and a mass-meet-
ing was arranged for tonight, at which
Governor Buchanan was to be hung in
et6gy. 1t was stated that the Jail would
be attacked and the prisoner lynched.
So great was the anxiety that Criminal
Court Judge Dubose issued an order late
this evening for the Sheriff of Shelby
