FROM CALIFORNIA.
The Rank of California Failn

San Francisco, August %. Statements of the
attending physicians go to show that the death of
Ralston resulted from appoplexy, while bathing.
Yesterday Ralston transferred all his property to
Senator Sharon, for the benefit of his cred tors.
AT a meeting of the Trustees of the Bank of
California, yesterday, Mr.. Raston promised that
if the management was left in his hands he would
pay dollar for dollar to the depositors and SOC on
the dollar to the stockholders; but after an exct-
ing disfussiop it was decided to accept his resig-
nation Considerable difference of opinion exists
among the leading stock operators as to the effect
of the failure on mining shares, when business
opens some claiming that it will have beneficial
effect, especially as regards the Bonanza mine,
as those controlling them will have now better IA
cilites for working them, the mills owned by
the bank party will probably pass into their
hands. Others take less hopeful view of the
situation. The affairs of the Bank of California
have been put into the hands Of the executive
committee. Some say that d. o. Mills, the ex-
President of the bank, has not owned a share of
the stock for the last three years. Reliable in
formation shows that the liabilities will be up
wards Of Sl4 900, and the reliable assets from
81 ,000,o0 to S8,000,000. The principal stock
holders will probably have to be ossed from 40
to 40 cents the dollar, te pay off the liabili-
ties.
The Pacific stock exchange, this afternoon,
adopted resolutions deploring the death of Raj.
ston, as faithful friend, valuable citizen and
| champion of the city and State, extending the
sympathy of the board to his family, and resolv-
ing to attend the funeral in a body. The San
Francisco exchange appointed a committee to wait
on Mrs. Ralston, to tender the sympathy of the
board
he board of directors of the Bank of Califor-
mia refuse to make public any facts ascertained as
to the actions of the late President, until after
the funeral, when startling disclosures are prom
sed.
The bank will pay so per cent to depositors.
An autopsy was made to-day on the body of Rails
ton; the coroner will give the result to the jury
on Tuesday.
The National Gold Bank and Trust Co. report
favorable progress, but will not open for several
days. Tomorrow is collection day but it is con-
fdenty believed that it will pass without suspen-
sions.
