... TIE DIAMOND DELUsIoN.
San Francisco, Nov. 26.-The VOL
luminous reports by King, Cotton,
Bost and Fry on the alleged dia-
mond fields have been submitted to
the trustees, and they have resolved
that it is due to the public to eX-
pose tho fraud npon them and the
stockholders.
No moro stock will he issued
| or transferred, and the corporation
| will he dissolved as soon as practi-
cable. In his report Clarence King
Gays that the party explored the vi
| cinity of Table Rock aud found dia-
mouds and rnbies on the surface
and in crevices, but in each instance
there was evidence that the soil had
been tempered with. In the crew.
ces where there were no traces of
mems work, there were found no
sort ofprecious stones. Some were
found in what were evidently arti-
fetal holes. Tho conclusion arrived
at by him ia that gems exist in po-
sitionS where nature could not
alone have placed them, and that
they do not exist where, if the oc-
currence had qeen genuine, the in
eyitable laws of nature would have
placed them finally, that the fields
have been sailed. Tho other re-
ports corroborate with Kings.
GREELEY A VERY SICK MAN.
New York, Nov. 25.-Iu answer
to inquiries at the Tribune office to-
night regarding the condition of
Mr.. Greeley, the following was OBJ
trined from the best authority:
The reports of Mr.. Greeley's treat
mont at Bloomingdale, or any 9TH
er ASYLUM, or of an application for
his admission arc preposterous. He
is still suffering q nervous collapse,
the result OF tho loss of nearly all
sleep almost continuously for over
a month during his wife's illness.
This fiually affected the nerves Of
the stomach, and it for days rejec-
ted food, whereby his system was
still moro weakened. Within day
or two there has been q marked
change for the better, with improve
ment in sleeping. His physicians
are hopeful. He is still very sick
man, and for the present his friends

letting HIM alone.
Four boys concluded to have some
fun near Yonkers, New York, Mon
day. They were little fellows from
10 to 81 years old. They found a |
can of nitro-glycerine, deposited in
an excavation two feet deep on q
newly constructed portion of the
n. Y. & Boston railroad. Two of |
tho young men wanted to see what |
effect an explosion would have, and |
precipitated large stone upon the !
can. The tremendous explosion |
which followed was heard for miles |
aud shook houses in the vicinity. !
Two of the party were horribly mu-
tulated, and had their limbs blown
in all directions. Their remains |
were scarcely recognizable. The
other two were fearfully wounded,
but may recover. If they do they
wont play with glycerine again.
