Fatal ARRAY at Sacramento.

Yesterday forenoon, says the Union
Of Saturday, a difficulty occurred In
the vicinity Of the Riverside House, at
the terminus Of the Riverside road, be-
tween two employees Of Ben Croker
Frank Wagner. foreman OF the men
engaged In making repairs to the road.
and Josiah Harold, one OF the work.
men. Wagner directed Harold to do
something and the latter declined, say
log that Croker hired him and Wag-
ner had no business to order him
about. One word led to another and a
fight. Wagner advanced upon his OPP
ponent with an open pocket knife,
threatening to cut him, and Harold.
Selling a four.tined pitchfork, struck
him twice OH the side of the head.
Wagner fell to the ground, evidently
badly hurt, and Harold, telling him
that he was sorry, but that he brought
the difficulty upon himself, left and
came to the city. On hearing Of the
difficulty, Ben Croker Immediately
went down to look after Wagner, TAX
ing n physician with him. The wound,
ed man was found to be dangerously
hurt, his skull being fractured. He
was brought tU the Railroad Hospital
in the city and died about $3.50 Z. N.
Harold was arrested, and since the
fatal termination Of Wagner's inju-
ries, n charge of murder has been pre-
ferrsd against him.

Getting After the Bears"
The San Francisco Alta of yesterday

The San Francisco Alta of yesterday
says:
The "bears" have had their hair
rubbed the wrong way roughly, aud
have covered at heavy losses. The
failure Of A. Whitney had long been
anticipated. He had been a persistent
"bear" In season and out Of season.
and he Is reported some 10000 shares
short-say Belcher. 1900 shares at $65;
Crown Point, 1000 at 800 average;
Yellow Jacket, 1000; Savage 1000, and
Raymond & Ely, ETC., Including a
good deal Of borrowed stock. The
general returning strength Of the mar.
Eet induced other shorts to buy In, aud
the rise was a sharp one. Alarge por-
ton of the late depression has been
mere "bear" sales, like old women
bidding OH themselves Mt auction.
When settlement came the decline was
found to be fictitious; real owners had
not been sellers. and $S5 was paid tor
Belcher foolishly cold ut $65; $ll0 for
Crown Point that had been dropped at
81. Those desperate sales excited
surprise, and prudent brokers were
on their guard. but unfortunately .
number are stuck. When the bull
bucked against the locomotive an OBJ
server admired his pluck but did not
think much of his discretion.

LIEUT.. ERASMUS DENNIsoN, Of the

eide on Saturday last In San Fran

with a pistol. He married the widow
Of Commodore Selim E. Woodwork,
about two years ago, since which time
he has been inclined to dissipation and
c%onviviality, so that his wife, who was
four or five years older than himself,
by degrees found herself neglected,
and her wealth. inherited from her
first husband. fast boing squandersd
by Dennison's extravaganza. She
sought relief In a suit for divorce, and
Dennlson impelled BY remorse and
falling to effect q reconciliation, be-
came intoxicated, and committed sui
eide as described, ut the Washington
House. where he had passed the pre-
vious night.

<TAs Financial Situation.
The San Francisco Alta Of yesterda!
has the following

The San Francisco Alta OF yesterday
has the following:
Itis a remarkable fact that In this
last year, when mineral and agrlcul-
tursi wealth has been produced In.
such great abundance, that circum-
stances In Europe and at the East
have caused a very large withdrawal
OF capital hence for profitable use
there. The capital so withdrawn, es-
timated by the best authorities q tten
IA twelve millions, has been supplied
from unusually prolific natural sources,
and the general markets here have
been more easy than In any other por-
tIon of the Union or Europe. The
circumstances that have drawn the
capital hence are temporary In their
nature, aud the reflux Of the capital
when they cease to act Will produce
an unprecedented abundance here
where production Is greater than ever.
This IL the season Of the year when
bullion is In the greatest supply, when
| the wool crop Is realized, when this
year tho great wheat crop will b.
cleaned up and when the State Ia not
only absolutely free Of debt but has
advanced money to become due. The
supplies Of bullion at the Mint are al
ready equal to about 81, 600, 600. OF
much In excess of the same month last
year. The two great mines, the
Belcher and Crown Point, carried
over 81, 600, 900 from the last months
dividends. Their earnings this month
are much larger, and u 90 per share
Is now bid for the next Belcher diyi.
dend. At this rate the two mines will
pay 81, 900. 900, and the coin Of these
payments may be supplied from the
mines themselves through the Mint
1t will bs remembered that DO pei
cent. of the value Is gold; that Is, o.
81, 600, 060 produced $900,000 Is gold,
which runs higher In tho ore Of tle
lower levels. Tho currency OF the
State being supplied by the Mint from

channels Of business, and flows OF
into the currents Of commerce accord
