Eureka, New. Dec. 22.-An acct
dent of a serious nature occurred
Yesterday morning at the Richmond
mine on Ruby Hill. At 1870 o'clock
the foreman, Patrick Rossiter, and
miner named James Coffey stepped
on the cage for the purpose of going
down to the 400-foo level. The sta
ton man at the 200-foot level. think
ing the men on the night shift had
all assembled. lowered the bridge
across the shaft at his station and in
its descent the cage, with Rossiter
and Coffey on it, struck with full
force. Both men were badly bruised
by the sudden Jar. Coffey, it is
thought, is injured internally. The
accident might have resulted in the
demolishment of the cage and death
of the two men, but fortunately
neither were killed and the injuries
sustained by either will not, it is
thought, be fatal.
Sacramento, Dec. GA young
man named Frank Arnold, who had
been for some time in the employ of
our City Railroad Company, com
mitted suicide about five o'clock this
evening by cutting his throat with
razor. The cause Of the act is un-
known, except possibly depression
resulting from a protracted period of
inebriation from which he was just
recovering.
Washington, Dec. 22.-The follow
ing are the most important features
of the Finance bill, agreed upon in
caucus of Republican Senators, as
reported to the Senate:
live. E-nn hanlin omen to all
and associations, with
out limitation of capital.
Second-Retiring and account of
greenbacks equal to so per cent. of
the amount of new national notes
issued until the greenback circula-
ton shall be reduced to $500, 900, 900,
after which no further reduction of
greenbacks is to take place. 1t is
claimed by this provision there will
be neither expansion or contraction
of currency, as about twenty per
cent. is now required as back re-
serves.
Observation-Disclosures and destruc-
ton of fractional currency, and sub
stitution of silver coin. This ar
rangement to go into effect as soon
as practicable, under the direction of
the Secretary of the Treasury,
who is authorized to use surplus
money in supplying silver coin, and
if this is not sufficient, to sell a
requisite amount of bonds of the new
series to obtain funds for that pur-
pose.
Fourth-Removal of cost for coin
age of gold and silver at minis.
Fifth-Resumption of specie pay
ment, to commence the LIST day of
January, 1879. The Secretary is
authorized to use the surplus specie
in the Treasury, but, if that is not
sufficient to sell bonds in order to
obtain gold to pay the Treasury
notes; but this last provision does
not, like the others, go into imme-
diate effect. The Legal Tender Act
remains undisturbed.
The bill having been agreed to by
the caucus, with only few dissent
ing votes insures its passage in the
Senate, and Senators believe it will
pass the House by respectable ma
jority, and in this case no doubt is
that it will receive the |
of the President, as it is in
accordance with his recent recon-
mendation to Congress. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury says that esti-
mates of the directors OF minis show
gain in specie and bullion in the
last two fiscal years, of about $685.
700, and the stock in the coun-
try to be Sl66,OO0,OO0, which, with
the, annual production of about
$40. 900 900 gold and silver, affords
encouragement that the stock of coin
may, within a reasonable time and
with favorable legislation, be accu-
mulated to an extent sufficient for
rapid resumption of specie pay
ments. aJr
