DAN fRANClSCO, sept. 5.-At Spe-
cial meeting of the San Francisco
Stock and Exchange Board to-day,
James r. Keene made the official an
nouncement that the Bank of Califor-
MIA would resume business in six or
seven days. Five millions have now
been subscribed, and before to-mor-
row night over eight millions will be
secured. Mr.. Keene said further that
he was authorized by Mr.. Sharon to
say that the bank will open with
guaranteed capital of ten to fifteen
millions of dollars.
The San Francisco Stock and EX-
change Board subscribed a quarter of
million dollars, and individual mem
bers have subscribed 100000 towards
continuing the Bank of California.
1t was also stated by Mr.. Keene that
the estate of w. G. Ralston was show
ing up most satisfactorily, and that
his family would realize two mill
ions.
In the latest sales on the street,
Crown Point sold at S26; Best & Bel
cher, SAG, Ophir, S42; California,
$50, and Consolidated Virginia at$245.
There is very little doing, and business
Is confined principally to bidding. The
Board will not begin business until
the bank re-opens, which is now set
for the 10th inst.
The following is the verdict of the
jury in the Ralston case: The deceas-
ed was William G.. Ralston, late of
San Francisco, aged 49, and a native
of Ohio. On Friday afternoon, Aug.
q, Mr.. Ralston, according to his habit
of bathing, proceeded to North Point
for the purpose of bathing. He used
every reasonable and proper precau-
tion to reduce his bodily temperature
before entering the water. He was
carried by the flood tide beyond his
power to return, and his exertions to
regain the shore, added to the shock
to his system by contact with the wa
ter while he was over-heated, produc-
ed congestion of the brain and vital
organs. His death was caused prima-
rily by such congestion, and seconda-
rily by drowning. The jury are unan-
imously of this opinion, and find that
Mr.. Ralston's death was accidental.
The following is the report of the
chemist who analyzed the stomach of
the deceased:
DR.. B. r. Swan sworn: Asdirected
by you, proceeded to make chemi-
cal analysis of the stomach and con-
tents placed in my hands; divided it
into two portions and subjected one to
tests for organic poisons and the other
for inorganic. first made special
tests for strychnia and morphia, and
finding no trace of either, 1 applied
group tests to small portion Of the
substances, and found no trace of or
ganic poisons. The remaining por-
tion was tested with reference to the
presence or absence of Inorganic poi
sons. The most perfect tests failed to
discover the presence of any mineral
poison whatever. All the ingredients
used were, as is customary, first test
ed, and counteractions by the poisons
sought were made, so that the proof in
each case is conclusive.

1t is thought the following names on
the Democratic ticket are certain of
election as Supervisors: Edwards,
Wise, Hayes, Gibbs, Roberts and Mac
no,oJJ Dot.yooo Gu,Il,, orJ n.,,oI~
er, Kenny and Bryan, Shine and Ma
lineux, Eaton and Porter, the result is
still doubtful. There is chance for
Scott of the ninth ward, and a much
better one for Block of the eighth. In
the ninth Senatorial District, all the
Democratic nominees for the Legisla-
ture claim their election. In the
tenth District there is prospect for
the election King, Republican, to the
State Senate. In the eleventh Dis
trict all the Democratic candidates are
elected. In the twelfth, Martin and
Buklert, Republicans. for the Assem-
bly,, run very we'll, but will not prob
ably be able to overcome the Demo-
cratic majority in the district. In the
thirteenth Days, Republican, for the
Senate, made hard fight. which will
only help him to run ahead of his
ticket, but not to an election.
For Los Angeles.
