L, ‘August 28, 1875, } The day has passed over quietly with the usua, routine of camp duty—battalion drill in the morning and dress parade and guard mounting in the afternoon. At dress parade the Seventy-first turned out eight com- mands of twelve files front, The question is being agitated as to whether the regiment will return home on Monday next or stay under canvas another #week, ‘The interstate rifle match announced yesterday came off this afternoon between a picked team of eight from the Seventy-first regiment, principally K com- pany, and eight from No.l post, Grand Army of the Republic, mostly composed of the personnel of C com- ‘pany, Providence Light Infantry. The match was at 200 yards, from the shoulder, standing, each man was allowed three sightings and five scoring shots. The Rhode Island men shot with Honry-Martini military riffes, the New Yorkers with rogulation military Remington guns, It was thought the test would be a good ono to determine the relative merits between American and English breech- loading guns, Colonel Arthur F. Dexter acted aa referee and umpire for both parties. The new model Wimble- don target was used. Ci R. S. Orsor, of K company, was captain of the New York team, and C. C.

AN EVANGELICAL PICNIC. 88a Grove, Carm Mar, August 28, 1875, Tho Evangelical Convention reassembled this morn- ing, the venerable Dr. McKinney, First Vice Presi- dentg in the Chair, The unfinished business of the temperance question came up on the radical resolution of yesterday, to discipline not only all church members who get drunk but those who sell intoxicating liquors. This is the proposition which has caused such a lively time, It was soon evident from the drift of the discussion that, while certain members wero ready to deliver the most vonement philippics against rum, their regard for the contribution box was too great to allow them to be consistent enough to | ee pious churchmen who deal in beierempy | liquors, The members who opposed the resolution di so from conscientious motives, believing the Church had no right to interfere, The resolution was doomed to be defeated, SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The question of Sabbath observance was next taken up. There was not much disagreement; tho necessity for action was admitted, and the only discussion was as to the means. The debate was taken part in by Dr. Sutton and all the Prominent speakers of the meeting, some of whom had the most absurdly radical views, such as stopping the street cars and other vagaries; but aresolution by Dr. Stevenson, of the American Tract Socrety, finally struck the mean between the more vio- Jent and the most conservative. SABBATH SCHOOLS, At the afternoon session the question of Sabbath schools was discussed. The subject being a tamo one, the debate lacked spirit, and resolutions were adopted recognizing the Sunday schools as important and valu- able agencies, asking for closer connection with the churches and more care in selecting Sunday school lit erature, RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS, Resolutions of thanks to the officers of the Conven- tion, Dr, Nevin, Mr. Whildin and the Press were adopted. It was decided to call the association the Sea Grove Evangelical Congress; and the Leora beste until next year, afver a graceful little fare speech by Dr. MoKianey. PIGEON MATCH.

Further Particulars of President Ralston’s Death, DOUBTS AS TO THE SUICIDE. The Testimony Taken at the Inquest. . A SECRET MERTING OF THE BANK TRUSTEES. SAN Francisco, August 28, 1875, No official statement has yet been made of the con- dition of the Bank of California, The directors applied to Flood & O’Brien on the day of the failure for relief and offered to present to that firm the entire paid-up capital stock of the bank—namely, $5,000,000, also $1,500,000 in bank and in addition, $1,000,000, to be assessed on the stockholders—in all $7,500,000, pro- vided Flood & O’Brien would for this consideration as- sume the liabilities of the bank. The proposition being declined the bank had to suspend, There is no doubt that the liabilities of the bank are $14,000,000 and the available assets not far from $7,000,000, which will shrink considerably before they can be realized. The true condition of the bank had been concealed from the directors up to Thursday, MAKTING OF THE DIRECTORS. A full meeting of the directors of the Bank of Call- fornia was held at one o’clock P. M. yesterday. When Mr. Ralston entered the room Mr. Mills promptly asked him to resign as President of the Bank. Mr. Ralston complied with the request at once. Mr. Mills then asked him to leave the room, and he did so. The direc- tors were still in session when the news was brought that Mr. Ralston had drowned himself, The directors professed to be astounded at the developments showing the true condition of the bank, ‘The stockholders will lose their stock, and, to pay all the Habilities, will have to stand an assessment of probably fifty per cent, Some $3,000,000 of the liabilities are in the form of accept- ances for advances made by one leading capitalist to strengthen the bank. Ex-Governor Stanford holds $400,000 of these acceptances, PUNERAL OF MR. RALSTON, Mr. Ralston’s body was placed in a casket and taken from his house to the residence of Colonel Fry, his father-in-law, THE VRELING IN CALIFORNIA STRERT, California street wears a quioter aspect to-day, and it is believed the excitement is over. The banks anticipate no trouble during the day. The tragical death of Mr. Ralston forms the principal topic of conversation throughout the city, and expressions of regret and sympathy for the deceased banker are heard on all sides, DOUBTS AS TO THE SUICIDE. Later information tends strongly to disprove the theory of suicide, and the statements of the attending physicians go to show that the death of Mr, Ralston re- sulted from apoplexy while bathing. THE TRANSFER OF PROPERTY. Yesterday Mr. Ralston transferred all his property to Senator William Sharon, for the benefit of his creditors, and Mr. Sharon, in receiving the trust, pledged his honor to stand by his old friend to the last dollar of his own private fortune, MEETING OF THE TRUSTEES. At a meeting of the Trustees of the Bank of California yesterday Mr. Ralston promised that if the manage- ment was left in his hands he would pay dollar for dol- lar to depositors, and fifty cents on the dollar to stock- holders; but, after an exciting discussion, it was de- cided to accept his resignation. . THE EPFROT ON MINING SHARES. Considerable difference of opinion exists among lead- ing stock operators as to the effect of the failure on min- ing shares when business opens, some claiming it will have a beneficial effect, especially as regards the Bonanza mines, as those controlling them will now have better facilities for working them, as the mills owned by the bank party will probably pass into their hands, Others take a less hopeful view of the situation. PROBABLE CONDITION OF THE BANK, The affairs of the Bank of California have been put in the hands of an Executive Comittee, consisting of William Alvord and George H. Howard, Some say that D. 0. Mills, the President of the bank, has not owned a share of the stock for the last three years, A statement of the condition has not yet been prepared, but reliable information shows that the lia- bilities will be upward of $14,000,000, and the reliable assets from $7,000,000 to $8,000,000, The principal stockholders will have to be assessed from forty cents to fifty cents on the dollar to pay off the liabilities. The following are the names of some of the principal stockholders :—The Barron estate, Thomas Bell, Nicho- las Luning, Moses Elhs, Captain J. B. Thomas, Asa T, Hamton, George Howard, William Norris, John 0. Earl, John Parrot, D. J. Tallant, Michael Reese, D. 0. Mills, Mark Livingstone and 0. F. Giffans, RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. The Pacific Stock Exchange this afternoon adopted resolutions deploring the death of Mr, Ralston asa faithful friend and valuable citizen, and as a champion of the city and State; also extending the sympathy of the Board to the family of Mr. Ralston and resolving to attend the funeral in a body. The San Francisco Stock Exchange appointed a com- mittee to wait on Mrs. Ralston, tendering the sympathy of the members. They also resolved to attend the funeral in a body. NATIONAL GOLD BANK. ‘The National Gold Bank and Trust Company to-day authorized the President and cashier to borrow $1,000,000 in coin on the real estate and securities of the institution. The bank isin excellent condition. If it were to go into liquidation it could pay the stockholders a handeome premium after paying de- posits in full, . A SRORRT SESSION, It is impossible at present to obtain any information concerning the proceedings in the meeting of tho trustees of the Bank of California. They are still in secret session, refusing to admit any one or give out any hint as to the naturo of their deliberations. ‘THE INQUEST. An inquest has been commenced on the body of President Ralston. ‘ The Bank of California is dressed in mourning; everything*is quiet on California street, and matters are assumiug their usual aspect. The jurors are John R. Garniso, C. L. Miller, H. F. Williams, W. A. A. Cohen, R. F. Morrow, J. R. Keene, W. HL L, Barnes and J. 0. L. Wadsworth, Joseph Dunking, proprietor of tho Neptune bath house, testified:—Ralston came to take a bath at half-past three o'clock; he usually came early in the morning; my son-in-law served him; I did pot see hint enter the water, and had no conversation with him; two young men, who went in with him, shortly after ran in and said, “Something is the matter with that man;” they, with my son-in-law, went out in a boat and watched for Ralston to appear at the piles, but saw nothing of him; he was perspiring freely when he came to the bath house; my son-in-law checked him, but he said. ho would dry himself and take a shower before going in. Clarence Richardson; the son-in-law of the last wit- ness, testified that Ralston was smiling and cheerful whon he came to the bath house; I waited on him and took charge of his clothes; I warned him against going in while heated; he said that he would dry himsolf | and take a shower first; about fifteen minutes after he went ina young man told me something was wrong*with him; [ pushed out in a boat and met another boat with Ralston’s body in it; Ralston was in the habit of swimming some distance when he bathed; 1 did not see him in the water. Theodore C. Beo, assayer at Selby’s smelting works, testified that the watchman on the wharf told him that @ man was drowning. The body was two or three hundred feet from the wharf, in the water, face down, the head appearing to be under tho water. I got Mr. Clark, engineer of the steamer Bullibn, who was lying near, to recover tho body, and he brought itashore. 1 did not see him breathe; used means of restoration; saw signs of life; sent for Dr. Newmark who came. Michael J. Clark, engineer of the steamer Bullion, testified:—Saw the man in the water squirming as if in a fit; he acted unnaturally; was two or three hundred feet distant; thought ho was alive when I reached him, and feared he would die bafore reaching the shore, laid him on hig stomach and pulled for the shore as quickly as possible. T noticed no signs of life when I got him ashore. When I first saw him in the water he was struggling and mak- ing for the shore, Dr. Newmark was then sworn, and testified as fol- lows:—When I arrived [ found the body on the sand, pparently lifeless; could detect no beating of the pulse or heart; kept up artificial respiration for an hour; the appearance of the body was that of a man who had died from apoplexy, face livid, eyes glassy, pupils dilated; 9 sudden plunge into the water whem overheated would be apt to produce apoplexy. Dr. Macare corroborated the testimony of the pre- ceding witness, Oue of the jurors here said it was useless to examine any more witnesses, “af we don’t know now what that man died of we never shall know.’” ‘The inquest was ten adjourned till one P. M. on Tues- day next, THE ‘BULLETIN’ AND “CALL”? The rumors relative to popular feeling and demon- Strations against the Bulletin and Call, because they had steadily opposed Ralston’s’ policy in political affairs, Wore idle utterances of excited individuals and incen- diary efforts on tho part of somo persons, personally and politically hostile to those journals, to creat en- mity against them. POSTPONEMENT OF THE FUNERAL. President Raiston’s funeral has been postponed till eleven o'clock on Monday morning. THR PROSPECT FOR MONDAY. Business men do not apprehend failures on Monday next, which is collection day, OPINIONS OF THE CHICAGO BANKERS. Cmicaco, Ill, August 28, 1875. Tho Chicago bankers havo been interviewed on the subject of the failure of the Bank of California, They all agreo that it is duo to the recklesaness of the man- ager fn engaging in an outside speculation alien to the business of @ bank. While the effect on the mining in- dustry of the Pacific Slope is regarded as disastrous, it is not believed that it will have tho remotest influence in Chicago. “SPOTTED ‘TAIL. Wasuinaton, D. C., August 28, 1875, Agent Howard, of the Spotted Tail Agency, in writing to A. 8. H. White, of the Interior Department, says:— “There is not a word of truth in the report that Spotted Tail or any of his people are on the warpath. They never were more loyal than to-day,’” INDIAN OUTRAGES. Sr. Louis, Mo., August 28, 1875. Reports from the Indian Territory indicate an ag- gravated state of lawlessness in every direction, A few. days ago John Kane, a white man, was passing through the nation with his family on his way from Texas, His family consisted of a wife and four children, one a grown daughter. When about forty miles north of Fort Gibson, while walking a short distance ahead of his wagon, Kane was met by two Indians, who killed and robbed him. When the wagon came up the villains took all the valuables they could find, and then outraged the wife and daughter, riding away on the horses of their victim. Burgess, the desperado, who killed Hatchet, last Saturday, while trying to escape from the party who had arrested him, was shot and killed, and afterward riddled with bullets. Crime is rampant in every part of the country. THE PHELPS APPEAL, Axsany, August 28, 1875. Tho Phelps appeal case has been noticed for argument at Schenectady on the second Tuesday of September.

Mr. and Mrs, Sartoris left Long Branch yesterday morning by the half-past eleven o’clock train. At Sandy Hook they met the revenue cutter Grant, and were taken to New York, where they embarked on the steamer Baltic for England. They were accompanied from the Branch by the President, Mrs, Grant, Frederick Grant and his wife, General Babcock, Surgeon General Barnes and Miss Barnes, Collector Casey, of New Orleans, and his Mr. George W. Childs and other personal friends, On reaching the steamboat pier the Lai § went on board the Baltic. Mr. and Mrs, Sartoris, with the little Prince and his nurse, retired at once to their room. and the shrill whistle on the steamer Baltic announced the hour of departure. + President Grant came down the gangplank, accom- ied by his handsome daughter-in-law, Mrs. Colonel Fred Grant. He — unheedful of the wait- ing, curious crowd. The party at once returned by the cutter and railroad to Long Branch. Amid the wildest cheering the Baltic backed out from her pier, turned herself about and started down the bay, followed. closely by the revenue cutter Grant Mr. and Mrs. Sartoris did not appear on deck. WALL STREET NOTES, NEW YORK INDIFFERENT—BONANZA FAILURES NOT REFLECTIVE ON WALL STREET. The feeling on Wall street in regard to the failure of the Bank of Calitornia has as yet no pronounced expres- sion, The eharacter of the failure has been 80 thoroughly local in its complications that New York, not being in- volved, simply looks upon it as the failure of a specu- lative chance in which the leading operator antici- pated destiny by suicide, Ralston by bis death has bay wn matters, His own private account with the bank has so thoroughly mixed the responsibility of bis estate that endless litigation is certain in that con- nection. Ralston was estimated to be worth $25,000,000, which, referring that class of valuation to the AUantic slope,’ might have shrunk to $2,500,000. THR COIN SUPPLY. Applications were made at the Sub-Treasury yoster- day for the transfer of $620,000 gold to Ban Francisco. Only $120,000 in coin was deposited on these ap- plications, for which telegraphic transfers have been issued to the Treasurer at San Francisco. The Seore- tary says be will not issue transfers beyond a total of 5 ‘W. U. AND A. AND P. Atlantic and Pacific have consolidated with the West- ern Union. This has been expected for a long time, The agreement provides for the lease of the Atlantic and Pacific to the Western Union at a capitalization of $2,500,000, the Western Union agreeing w pay to the stockholders of the leased lines dividends at the same rate that they do to their own stockholders, The divi- dends of the Western Union are now eight per cent per annum, ALLEGED HOMICIDE. DEATH OF A BLACKWELL'S ISLAND CONVICT. Michael Connolly, who was committed to Blackwell's Island for six months, om the 8th of June last, died on Friday in the hospital of that institution. Owing to some rumors of ill-treatment that reached Coroner Croker Deputy Coroner Cushman yesterday held a post- mortem exanfination on the bedy. The decision ar- rived at was that death was caused by softening of tho brain, but several marks of severe bruises were found ‘on the thighs, lef arm and right hand, State- ments of horribly bratal treatment the unfortunate tag by the prison ofligials havo been mado : AMUSEMENTS, ACADEMY OF music. The long promised production of Jules Verne’s story, “Around the World,” took place at this house under the direction of the Kiralfy Brothers, Nothing that could contribute to the success of a work of this nature was omitted, Characteristic scenery, admira- bly painted, conveyed to the public an idea of the countries in which the events represented on the stage were supposed to occur, and the cos- tumes were at once brilliant and correct, The grand tableaux were arranged with a thorough artistic finish, and gave to the porformance its true interest as a spectacle. Although the main personages of the drama aro represented with ability, the interest in the story drags a good deal, and this fact is no doubt in part due to the absence of en- train on the part of the subordinate performers, who display a through Anglo-Saxon phlegm and go through their parts, as jt were, under protest. Among the really fine tableaux are “The Grand Funeral Pageant in the Necropolis,” “The Fote of the Snake Charmers,” and the tableau of a sinking ship, which is truly ad- mirable, The ballets are at once tasteful and novel and are introduced with good judgment. The house was well filled, and the warm applause which greeted the chief effects is a guarantee that this Spectacie will achieve popularity here. ‘The version of the story presented last night follows closely the French original, the only important change being the substitution of an [rish-American for the Yankee char- acter of the original We do not see exactly what {8 gained by the change except some very long-winded attempts to be funny, for which we suppose we must hold the adapter responsible. The dialogue of the piece could be remodelled with advantage; at present there are too mauy words and too few points. This has the disadvantage of impressing the audience thoroughly with the idea that the actors are merely sent on the stage to oc- cupy the attention of the public while the stage carpenters are doing the essential business. With & little careful pruning ‘Around the World,” as presented at the Academy, might have a successful run, because there is avery large part of the community who desire to be amused visually rather than intellectually, To this class the splendid scenery, the brilliant costumes and artistically arranged ballets, with which the piece is studded, must be exceed- ingly attractive. Probably no spectacle in this country was ever better mounted and appointed, There is enough of the blood and thunder school of sensationalism in ‘Around the World” to gratify even a Bowery audience, while more refined people will be apt to pardon the introduction of ‘Indian slaughters,”’ “railroad sens: tions” and “sinking ships,’ on account of the real- istic and artistic manner in which they are presented. ‘The whole spectacle bears evidence of careful prepara- tion in all’ its details, though at several points effects wero marred’ by the usual first night delays It ts useless to expect a complicated spectacle like “Around the World’ to run smoothly the firsg night, but the public have a right to expect that th® actors will know their parts, Last night it was evident that several members of the company did not know theirs, and as Aconsequence the dialogue several times dragged and became absolutely tiresome. This defect can be ro- moved by a little attention on the part of the stage man- ager. At present there are too many tableaux, and some of them could very well be dispensed with, especially “The ‘Terrific Cave of Serpents,” which sses no interest, scenic or dramatic, and rather excites feelings of disgust than of surprise. Two scenes of remarkable realism are the railroad train and the sinking ship. The engine comes on the stage under a head of steam drawing several heavy carriages after it. The performance last night met with consider- able favor at the hands of the public, and if some of the unimportant tableaux were omitted and the dialogue little pruned and brightened up, “Around the World” would no doubt meet with public favor, GLOBE THEATRE. The Globe Theatre was opened for the season last night with an entirely new variety company, There was a fair audience present, and what was lacking in numbers was made up for amply by the enthusiasm of the galleries. The programme was a long one and afforded a variety that ought to have satisfied everybody. ‘The evening’s “entertainment,” as the programine had it, began with “The Irishman in Spain,” the male characters being so execrably rendered as ‘to call down the displeasure of even the good-natured gods" them- selves. The Brahams, brother and sister, were excel lent, “Silly Bill and Father’ and ‘The Married Man” being ri i the attractions of the evening. The street scenes in Washington, the ballet of the “Fairies of the Lake,” and the singing of Miss Annie Kemp Bowler seemed to give great satisfaction to the audience, COULISSE CHAT. Mme.

The New York Philharmonic Society has introduced an important change in this season’s programme, in place of the usual eighteen rehearsals and six concerts there will be six concerts, each preceded by a matinée and a general rehearsal, The now feature of matinées, now introduced, will enable the society to present to tho public music not included in the regular concert pro- grammes, The change will not fail to increase the popularity of the Philharmonto, OBITUARY, EDWARD H. TRACY, ENGINEER. Edward H. Tracy, Chiet Engineer of the Department of Public Works, died yesterday afternoon, at Carmel, Putnam county, N. Y. He was born at Whitesboro, Oneida county, N. Y., in the year 1817, and was, consequently, at the time of his death, about fifty-nine years of age. In early youth he showed a marked talent for mathematics and while quite a young man was recognized as an able and relia- ble engineer. He commenced his profession proper under the superintendence of Mr. John B, Jarvis, Chief Engineer of the Che! Canal While nango under this gentleman he ovinced such marked beara # in his profession that Mr, Jarvis subsequently left al- most solely to him the building of that portion of the Croton Aqueduct bese romi, 3 from Fordham church to Manhattanville, including the High Bridge over Harlem River. This latter work he personally superintended, from the iaying of the corner stone to its completion. Identified as he was with many of our most important public works, he leaves behind more than one enduring monument to his memory, CAPTAIN BARNEY HULL.
