The Situation at Eenicia.


Yesterday morning, by means of sys-
tenn of tackle, four locomotives attached to
a stout cable managed to pull the looamo-
tive that jumped overheard from the
steamer Solano, at the Benicia ferry slip
Tuesday morning, out of the channel and
to place where it can be worked upon
hereafter Considerable trouble was expo
rienced in removing the tender afterwards,
but it was got out of the way, and trains
are again able to pass regularly by that
route. Before the locomotive was re-
moved, diver who descended to examine
as to its position found it lying on its back,
wheels uppermost. Late in the afternoon
engine and tender were raised and placed
upon a scOw. The engine was found to be
in good order but the tender was con-
siderably damaged. Nothing has been seen
of the body of the Inflated fireman, Henry
Garvey. Engineer Hyde, who was III
charge of the locomotive at the time of the
accident, when interviewed by reporter,
after giving an account of the circum-
stances, as heretofore published in the
RECORD UNION, said Il believe that the
engine, as is sometimes the case took
steam of its own accord, either from de-
fective valves or from some other unknown
reason, and started. There is a very short
distance to run on the boat, and, not obey
ing the throttle nothing could be done.
An engine taking steam of its own accord
is not by any N ans very rare thing, but
still il is not very common. This may be
caused from a defect or leak in the valves,
and where the distance is so short there is
very little time to reverse"
AEREsTs.-The following arrests were
made yesterday: Jim Murphy, by officers
Sullivan and Ferral, for battery; Charles
Connors. by Deputy Sheriff Lee, for steal
ing ride on the railroad cars; john
Smith. by officer wager, for being drunk;

the peace NJ. Steinkonig, by officer Agner,

van and Rider, for malicious mischief, in
breaking property in the New York saloon.
GRAIN-CARRYING-Th are now four
steamers engaged in bringing grain down
from the upper Sacramento to this port,
from whence the steamers San Joaquin,
Nos and I, take it to tide-water. Evil
IDENTIFY there is not going to be much to
handle. From Colusa down the crop
proves to be even smaller that it was esti
mated at the time OF cutting, and the
figures then were very discOuraging.
