Excitement i'm San Francisco,


SAN Francisco, Aug. 3O.-The Bulletin,
this evening, contains what is called a
beastly article on William c. Ralston, which
is exciting very bitter feeling. The intro
duction confesses that 1t was published to
influence the election on Wednesday, but it
is thought the article will recoil and leave
the Bulletin ticket out of sight. The funer-
al procession Of Palstin was immense, and
is considered great rebuke to the Bulletin,
and Call for their alleged malicious and in
cendiary course. These papers have been
accused of sending malicious reports to
New York, through the associated press.
The feeling against these papers is so bitter
that Mayor Otis ordered troops kept under
arms for three days, and on the night of
Ralstin's death, troops were on the streets
by report, that mob was rushing to sack
the buildings of the Bulletin, and Call.
These officers were constantly guarded by
policemen. A prominent banker reports
the immediate cause of the demand by the
Directors of the Bank of California, for
Ralston's resignation was the discovery by
the Directors during the investigation of
lot of bills receivable from irresponsible
parties.

FIGHTING 1T OUT.
| MILL IN SOUTH WILMINGTON

MILL IN SOUTH WILMINGTON.
Yesterday morning, quite a flutter of ex-
citement was occasioned by an amateur
mill, which took place there about 10
O'Clock between George Read, who is cat
tie dealer in this city, and Jno. Stidham,
who follows the agreeable vocation of a
gentleman of leisure. Early in the morn
ing the two worthless had been engaged in
conversation and high words had
ensued, when Reud proposed that they
should fight it out on the square, and with
aparty of friends the two pugilists adjourn
ed to South Wilmington, and in the pres
ence of large crowd of gaping spectators,
formed ring, and the mill commenced.
The fight was short but sharp, and when
the sponge was thrown up, Stidham's'
second did it, and with bloody ears and
swollen head, he was taken from the ring
in an insensible condition. The police
failed to put in an appearance until the
affair had concluded.

crew, two boys, opened the door of the
State-room, the body of the unfortunate

axe. The murdered mans hands were tied
together and not the least sign of life could
be found in him. The Captains pocket
book had been rifei. 1. is reported the

One was tailor and the other vender
of boots and shoes. They live on Front st.,
not far from king, and are generally COCA
neighbors. Yesterday, however, a msun-

Frazer on his affidavit, and the good Squire
heard the case and the difficulty was sur
mounted by two knights of the scigzors

HOW THE DAYS PASSED AWAY.

He meandered into the HERALD office
late on Saturday afternoon, and though his
demeaner proclaimed him pluck of the
purest ray serene, the generous minded
staff received him kindly, and he seated
himself with Chambers Book of Days con-
tentedly. The staff removed itself for a
moment to the composing room, anf upon
its return the Days had passed away, as
had also the pluck. He was arrested last
evening, and the HERALD office is once
more supplied with library. He will have
his hearing to-day, and trip to the river
side may do him good.

ExTENsIHE FIRE IN M1LFORD.

EXTENSlVE FIRE IN MILFORD.
THE ALDEN FRUIT ESTABLISHMENT BURNED
"A LOSS OF S25, ,0O0-oNE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY EMPLOYEES THROWN OUT OF WORK.
Yesterday morning shortly before noon, a
fire broke out in the Alden fruit drying es-
tablishmhnt at Milford, and although
prompt measures were taken to suppress the
flames in less than an hour the entire es-
tablishment was mass of smoking RUNE.
The establishment is situated in what is
known as South Milford near the depot, and
was the largest of the kind in the State, en-
ploying about one hundred and
fifty hands at the time of the burning. It
was owned by stock company and has
been paying very well. Its value was about
SO, 600 or $25, 900, and with the contents
the loss will foot up nearly $4,000. An
insurance of $1,000 was all that was on the
concern, and the actual loss to the stock
holders will be $28, 200.
Happening just at this time the fire was
particularly distressing, as all the hands are
now without employment.
There is talk of rebuilding the concern,
but it will not be possible to get 1t ready in
time for the present season.
The fire originated in one of the evapora-
tors, and was not discovered until portion
of the building somewhat remote from
the part where the hands were en-
ployed was in flames. Had there been
an organized fire company in the town with
the proper equiments, the building might
have been saved, but the only means of get
ting water tn the flames was nv ordinary
buckets, very few of which were handy, the
building being some distance from the
thickly settled portion of the town.

Market street from Front to Sixth, pre-
sented lively scene last evening about
eight O'Clock. The circus advertisers had
arranged calcium reflection at the Dela-
ware House, and not less than three thous-
and people blocked up the street to
view the gorgeous pictures as they appeared
and disappeared on the canvass. It was
one of the most animated scenes that has
occurred on Market street in some time.

Wall Street Thoroughly Agitated.
New YORK, Aug. 3O.-There was consi-
derable depression in Wall Street, this after
noon, and general decline in stocks with
weak market. Western Union declined from
s3A at the opening to S0H at the close.
The dealings in the stock were character
lied by great excitement, other securities
fell off in like proportion. The street was
full of rumors of a probable squeeze by the
Bears. A feeling of oppression is
apparent as to the future course of the
stock market. Among the many rumors
afloat was one to the effect that Jay Gould
had been called upon by prominent bank
ing firm for the settlement of q large loan.
Gould was on the street himself, and 1t was
said he experienced considerable difficulty in
raising the necessary cash. On the other
hand Gould's brokers say they had only
$500, 900 called in upon them which they
had no difficulty in renewing on cheap terms
but the direct cause of the agitation and
decline could be traced to no authentic
source. The principal attacks appeared to
be directed upon the Western Union to bear
down that stock. The market closed with
an uneasy feeling and to-morrow's opera
tions are awaited with considerable anxiety.
