The fall Of gold in Wall street to only /
per cent, premium shows that that qlittering
coin is really not worth any more than sill
yer or paper currency, and that the resump-
ton of specie payment is already a fixed
fact. Tine high rate of gold heretofore pre-
vailing has been nothing but profitable
speculation of brokers and bankers in Wall
street.

THE FAMILY FEuD.


]. ". Fletcher. the man shot by Peter
Daley. died yesterday afternoon about 3
O'Clock. Previous to his death he had
been notified by DIR. Harris. his physician,
tina, he had bu, a fow hours longer to live.
lie felt sorrow on account Of tho destitute
condition in which he must leave his wife
and four little children. the eldest. .
daughter Of eight. lie had been out OF
work most Of the time for nearly two
years, during which time his wife had been
but poorly.
Alter Fleteher's death DIR. Harris made
a cadaveric autopsy. From this WAS
shown the necessarily fatal nature Of the
wounds he hal received. The examina-
ton failed to satisfy DR.. Harris whether
the sho. through the body was from In
front OT bohiud. At any rate the bullet
passed through the arch ~ the colon, or
large intestine, ranged downward. hack.
ward, and through the lower part OF the
left kidney. II was doubly fatal. The
covering Of tho Kidneys was filed with
clotted blood and there was besides q large
quantity Of blood in the bowels from n
Of the main arteries severed by the bullet.
This shot was the immediate cause OF his
death.
Coroner Hodge will hold IN inquest on
the remains Of deceased tonight. The To-
neral was set for this afternoon. The man
Was in such destitute circumstances a. TO
have nothing in which TO decently lay
himself out. In this emergency his friends
came 10 the rescue. Although not In good
standing he was = member u the orgsni-
zation Of Engineers. and these men took
the matter in hand. They circulated .
subscription among the business men and
received donations for the family and fu-
neral expenses. A suit WAS donated BY
the clo,hiers In which to lay the dead man
out. and money enough raised TO bury
him decen,ly and have something over Tor
the widow and children.
A mysterious bullet was yesterday found
In the bed upon which Mr.. Fletcher had
been lying. II had evidently done lie
work. been caught in his clothing. and
thus taken to his dying couch. Dr.. Har.
ris Is Of the opinion that IL Is the bullet
which passed through the mans body.
aud that the fiAttened side which IL pre-
senis nust have bsen caused by its COM
ing in contact with the cartilegc In front,
ON which II struck. II may, however. be
the Que which entered the left forearm.
Since the death of Fletcher. Daley has
been roarre-ted, and Is held for murder.
