rAnr emeuts For Furnishing Bail.
Trenton, Aug. 3O.-Constable William
Dolton, who made a second trip to Bel
mar Saturday with a warrant for the
arrest or Peter w. Grocer, the embez-
zling loan association treasurer re-
turned unsuccessful to Trenton last
night. He said he had been to Belmar,
Spring Lake and other places, and had
learned enough to satisfy him that
Grocer was at the seashore. He is con-
vinced that Grocer will surrender him
self within a day or two. Dolton has
had a conference with Crozer's son,
Edward, who practically assured him
that his father will be produced as soon
as arrangements for the furnishing Of
bail can be completed.
Irwin w. Rogers and Edward Grocer,
assignees of Peter w Grocer have
placed in the hands of a lawyer for
collection a large batch of notes and
checks given to Peter w Grocer by
various persons, and which notes and
checks have apparently never been
used One suit was started against
Edward w. Evans for money advanced
by Grocer on Evans two notes and
checks Evans was the solicitor of the
tive building and loan associations, and
for years occurred the same Office with
Crozer. Togers and Edward Grocer say
that IL they could realize on all the
unused notes and checks which Peter
w. Grocer turned over to them they
would be able to liquidate the entire
shortage. Mr.. Rogers says that the
notes and checks were evidently given
in return for cash advances made by
Grocer, and that the latter never at
tempted to realize on the paper given
to him, but put 1t away in his safe.
The notes and checks are for amounts
ranging from IS up to $1,000 and bear
various dates, extending back over a
period of several years. John N. Lind
say president of the two building and
loan associations, who up to Saturday
denied that he had been loaned any
money by Grocer admitted that he and
Grocer had an open personal account,
and that the balance might be in Gro
zers favor.

Mr.. BRYAN has concluded to post
pone his visit to Mexico for the pur-
pose of investigating the silver ques-
tion of that country to a more con
venient season. This will be gener-
ally regarded as a very sensible move
ment on the part of the 16to leader.
He is evidently satisfied that with the
bullion value of silver down to 40
cents in each silver dollar with pros
pect of a still further decline, and with
the positive assurance that if wheat
moves in either direction it will lie
upward, there is little need for the lG
to / leader to go to Mexico, or any
where else for that matter, for further
information.

Great Preparations For the Return of
the French President.
Paris, Aug. 30.-The city is growing
into a fronzy of enthusiasm over the
welcome to be extended to President
Faure on his return tomorrow from his
visit to Russia. The principal streets
and buildings are profusely decorated
with flags and bunting. A group of
tradesmen held a meeting Saturday
and resolved to erect a grand stand
and a triumphal arch, and committees
are busy in all quarters of the city. All
the vehicles seen on the streets on the
day of the presidents return viii be
decorated with the tricolor, and there
will be a free performance of Don
Juan at the Opera, and free perfor-
mances at the various theaters.
All the cafes and wine shops will be
permitted to remain open all night, and
outdoor balls will be held in every
square. There win also be a repetition
of the beautiful illuminations made on
the occasion of the czar's visit to Paris,
and, as the time is too short for the
preparation of an elaborate display OF
fireworks, the Garde Republicaine and
the firemen will provide a splendid fete
of torches in the Place de rOpera, at
a cost of $4,000 francs. The president
will stop there for a few minutes on
his way along the troop lined route
from the Care du Nord to the Elysee,
and win receive an address of con-
graduation.
The feature of the whole thing is that
all is done spontaneously by the citi-
zens, with no attempt at official organi-
zation, while President Faure himself
can have no idea of the reception in
store for him. The excitement has
reached such a pitch that there is talk
of making Aug. 30 the national fete
day instead of July IA, and also of in
stituting life presidencies with Presi-
dent Faure as the first incumbent.
