ANAHEIM VOL. VI. Anheim Gazette SATURDAY...OCTOBER 7, 1876. A PECULIAR TRAIT. It is a curious fact that men who develop great capacity in the planning and carrying-out of schemes of villainy, show no ability in evading justice after discovery. This thought occurs us in connection with the capture of Boss Tweed. Why a man who possessed the ability, shrewdness and knowledge of the world that the Boss must have done, should, after making good his escape—after evading the officers of justice and placing himself in a position where he was practically out of danger, walk right into the noose, we are at a loss to conjecture. There are surely countries where his Boss-ship would have been safe, where the law of extradition would not touch him, where he might have passed his days in peace and quiet, resting serenely comfortable on the proceeds of his villainy. But no. He was impelled by that species of irresistible madness that seems to make criminals walk into destruction, to take up his abode in the one place of all others where he was most liable to AN ATHLETIC NATION. It is very gratifying to the pride of the American people to see what marked improvement Young America shows in athletic sports. It used to be the thing to say that Englishmen were the only men who excelled in manly exercises; and, indeed, there was some truth in the statement. Rowing, running, shooting, hunting, cricket, wrestling. &c., were practiced in the United Kingdom to an extent absolutely unknown elsewhere. And it was also customary to say that Uncle Sam's boys had no thought beyond the Almighty Dollar. Americans were said to go from the nursery to the store and never touch anything unless there was money in it. By-and-by Young America came to the front and showed to the world that the muscle and sinew that has cleared the forests of this continent still remained, and only needed to be trained to produce the desired result. It is a fact that the American people are, physically, the finest in the world. The men are larger, more sinny and more active than any others. There is a smaller percentage of deformed, mis-shapen people in America than in any other country in the world. The women are more beautiful and more graceful than THE ALDEN PRINT.

There are surely countries where his Boss-ship would have been safe, where the law of extradition would not touch him, where he might have passed his days in peace and quiet, resting serenely comfortable on the proceeds of his villainy. But no. He was impelled by that species of irresistible madness that seems to make criminals walk into destruction, to take up his abode in the one place of all others where he was most liable to be detected. He went to the Government least able to shield him, the Government most closely watched by the United States. And so, after all his smartness, all his able lawyers and bribed Sheriffs, he is to be returned to that prison life he so richly deserves. How often we see the same kind of lack of prudence. The murderer, carrying with him damning evidence of his crime, when he can easily be rid of it; the swindler or thief betraying himself again and again without the least occasion. It is a fortunate circumstance these things do happen. This habit of criminals betraying themselves is a great assistance to the police force of the world. And we can only account for it by supposing that no rascal's head can be level any way; so although he develops ability as a rascal, he is short elsewhere. A CORRECTION. That usually extremely reliable Black Republican, "Blon," put his foot in it yesterday. If there is anything more ludicrous than his being called upon by two prominent democrats to decide a bet, it is the assertion he makes in regard to the votes polled at the different precincts. Merely asking him to bear in mind that oft-quoted maxim of the immortal Davy Crockett, "Be sure you're right, then go ahead," we give place to the following refutation: Eds. GAZETTE:—Your Santa Ana correspondent makes a statement in yesterday's GAZETTE in regard to the vote of Anaheim and San Joaquin townships, which is not strictly correct. He says: "In order to decide a bet made by two prominent Democrats in this city, we will state that the official returns of the last general election in this State shows that San Joaquin township cast twenty-one votes more than Anaheim township." The official returns of the last general election show that the total vote cast in Anaheim township was as follows. Anaheim proctect... 387 Westminster... 111 Total... 478 The total vote of San Joaquin township, as shown by the official returns, was: San Joaquin (Santa Ana)... 252 Orange... 103 to the world that the muscle and sinew that has cleared the forests of this continent still remained, and only needed to be trained to produce the desired result. It is a fact that the American people are, physically, the finest in the world. The men are larger, more sinny and more active than any others. There is a smaller percentage of deformed, mis-shapen people in America than in any other country in the world. The women are more beautiful and more graceful than all others. They possess an innate grace and refined style of beauty unknown elsewhere. In any large city in Europe the number of deformed, decrepit men one sees on the street is only equalled by the number of beggars, and they abound. In America a deformed person is a rarity. But young America did not go much into athletic pursuits for two reasons. Firstly, the Western people had too much athletic work to do to make their living; and, second, the city folks had no time. In busy America everyone was worked. As soon as a boy was in his teens there was a place for him, and long hours of work ready for him. As the vast continent was settled up, and time rolled on; as families acquired wealth, which was handed down from parents to children, a class of young Americans sprang up who had other objects in life besides work. They assembled at the Universities, and met at clubs in the cities; and as usual where young men congregate, athletic sports became prominent subjects for discussion. So our young men began to establish rowing clubs; base ball sprang into prominence, and yachting became fashionable. The result has been to place America prominently before the world as an athletic nation, and we hope ere long she will stand, where she should, at the head of all competitors. Manly exercises are healthful and should be encouraged. Recreation fits one and all for the work of life. A few hours healthy recreation enables a man to return with renewed energy to his labor; if in the store or counting house. It expands the chest, strengthens the drooping shoulders, and clears the brain. For the pursuit of athletic sports to be successful, its votaries must be temperate livers; and so our young men are led to lead better lives, and to eschew the pursuit of night likely to enervate or weaken. And so another point is gained; for the arm that pulls an oar at Saratoga, or the eye and hand that scores a bulls-eye at Creedmoor, cannot belong to a debauchee. TERRY AND CROOK. The official returns show that Anaheim township cast 123 votes more than San Joaquin township. "Blon's" figures are not reliable enough to decide a bet on. Between the last general election and the judicial election, Fountain Valley township, taken partly from Anaheim, and partly from San Joaquin, was organized. At the Judicial election there were thirty votes cast in that township. A majority of the votes in Fountain Valley were cut off from San Joaquin township. The election this Fall will show about the same majority for Anaheim as the last did. IN A MUDDLE. The title to the land upon which elands the thriving town of San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara county, seems to be as Stephen Blackpool would express it "all in a muddle." Attuague-General Hamilton, acting for the State of California has brought suit against the occupants of the land in question, and asks that the property may be determined to be the property of the State. It would seem that the great number of valuable and substantial improvements which have been erected on the disputed territory were in danger of confiscation, but a local paper says that what seems a terrible misdemeanor in the holders of property in shut-down may turn out a great advantage. This doubt may for a time reflect the growth of the place, but the possibilities are that the property-balanced there will get a good settlement later for less than $40 at here. TERRY AND CROOK. The papers are just now devoting considerable attention to the different methods of Indian fighting pursued by the two Generals whose names head this article. And it is noticeable that the comments are favorable to Crook, and that Terry is the recipient of numberless savage journalistic squibs. "Crook is a soldier; Terry is nothing but a pettifogging lawyer" says one paper. "While Crook and his command are actually suffering for want of food, Terry and his command are rolling in plenty and living upon the fat of the land," says another. And Buffalo Bill, who is with the command as a scout, caps the olimax by telling a reporter that Crook sleeps in his blanket, makes his own coffee and broils his own bacon; while Terry brought a bed with him, a portable range and an extension table. "We could not travel fast enough to catch the Indians, as we would break the dishes," facetiously said Bison William. No doubt the almost complete failure of the campaign is attributable to the reluctance of "the pettifogging lawyer." Terry, to purge the Indian to haunts where the luxuries of civilized provender would be displaced by hard tack and beans. A smart Brooklyn boy has taken to cleaning the kerosen lamps in the city stores, to earn some spending money. He offered to do it for ten cents a week far used land.

The Extent of the Industry—His Beneficial Effects upon the Fruit Business—The Anaheim Works. The Alden process of preserving fruit seems to be growing in favor all over the country, and it is said to be a fact that wherever one of these works has been established the fruit business has received a fresh impetus. The statement has been made that in a few years the fruit product of California will be a greater. SOURCE OF REVENUE To the State than the wheat crop. When it is remembered that buy a few years ago the fruit crop, small as it was, was generally left to roll upon the ground, or if shipped to retail dealers in San Francisco was dumped into the Bay, it will be seen that the Alden process has revolutionized the entire fruit business of the State; which is a verification of the saying that whenever there is a demand for any invention that will benefit mankind, the genius will be found to supply the desired article. AT THE PRESENT TIME There are fifty-two Alden machines in California and Oregon, and about four hundred in the States east of the The Primaries. The primary election, to decide who should be the Republican candidate for Supervisor, passed off without any great objection of feeling on the part of the friends of the candidates. As all the candidates reside on other side of the river, the battle undoubtedly waxed warm at Orange and Santa Ana. The latter place polled a very heavy vote as will be seen by the returns published below. The result of the Primaries in Orange, Santa Ana San Juan and Tustin City was telegraphed specially to the GAZETTE. ANAHEIM PRECINCT. Stafford.....31 Lockhart.....30 Total.....61 SANTA ANA.

Lockhart.....18 Barry's Legacy. In the early days of minstrelsy, one of the favorite bands that traveled in the East, under the title of West & Peel's Campbell Minstrels, contained that charming singer and excellent man, Sher. Campbell. He had been discovered by the manager of the troupe as a quiet little carriage trimmer in New Haven, Conn. The Sher, Campbell of those days was a slight, bashful youth, very unlike the robust fellow of later times. The star of that company was a baritone singer, named Barry, who was then far gone in consumption, and when the party was breaking up—one going here and another there—Barry went home to die. As they bade him good-bye, he spoke to each of some trinket he meant to leave to them. Coming to Sher.Campbell, who was his favorite friend, he asked him to make his own selection from several articles of diamond jewelry. "Why, God bless you, old boy," said Sher., "you are not going to die, but if you were, I'd rather you'd leave me your lower notes than all the diamonds you own." And Barry answered: "When I die you shall have them." The next month Sher. was In California with the Bryants—possessed, as all his friends will remember, of a high, light tenor voice. But one morning he arose, and while dressing began in his usual fashion to run the scales. As the upper notes of his voice ran out he noticed their unusual strength; and Jerry Bryant, who was lying in At the present time there are fifty-two Alden machines in California and Oregon, and about four hundred in the States east of the Rocky Mountains; and it is calculated that the aggregate value of the products of these factories at wholesale will amount this year to about $4,000,000. The fifty-two factories in operation in this State and Oregon will work up 5,200 tons of fruit and vegetables in each season (of four months) or 100 tons to each machine. The erection of works will go on, as an increase in the demand for Alden fruit is not receable. The Anaheim Works, owned by Messrs. Helmann & Sorenson, are now in operation every day and night, including Sunday. They are at present making raisins from the Mission grape, and are turning out a very fine article. They find, however, that in order to keep up with their work it will be necessary to add to the effectiveness of their factory, and it is chiefly for that purpose that Mr. Soreenson has gone to San Francisco. He will bring back with him some machinery that will enable them to turn off the fruit much more rapidly than they have heretofore done. As soon as their crop of grapes is worked up, they will turn their attention to preserving vegetables, such as potatoes, tomatoes, onions, corn, etc., as Mr. Helmann is convinced that the market for these articles is much better than for raisins, apples, pears and other fruits. As there has been considerable inquiry as to whether Messrs. Helmann & Sorenson would dry fruit, etc., on shares or purchase it outright, we are authorized to say that as soon as their own crop of grapes are made into raisins, they will do all their power to accommodate the fruit-grower, but that the details are matter for future consideration.

[From the Salt Lake Tribune.] EDITORS TRIDUNE: Your correspondent "Junius," gives the names of six elders who had entered into those unnatural and disgusting alliances so numerous in Utah. Several well known cases that he did not mention come to my mind, and I doubt not, that there are many scores of such in this vicinity. Daniel Spencer (now deceased) took Mrs. Gray and her daughters as his own selection from several articles of diamond jewelry. "Why, God bless you, old boy," said Sher., "you are not going to die, but if you were, I'd rather you'd leave me your lower notes than all the diamonds you own." And Barry answered: "When I die you shall have them." The next month Sher. was in California with the Bryants—possessed, as all his friends will remember, of a high, light tenor voice. But one morning he arose, and while dressing began in his usual fashion to run the scales. As the upper notes of his voice ran out he noticed their unusual strength; and Jerry Bryant, who was lying in bed, remarked to Sher. how well he was singing, that the climate was doing him good. Their admiration was changed to wonder, however, when the tenor carried a descending scale into the regions of a baritone. Full, deep, and powerful, an octave and a half below any note he had ever sung, went the voice of Sher. Dropping into a chair, he burst out, "Jerry Bryant, Barry's dead; I've got his lower notes." Almost immediately came the announcement of the poor sufferer's burial, and the little bequests wont to the members of the old company; while to the astonishment of everybody, the tenor, Campbell, became the baritone New York was familiar with in opera for years to come. A hundred times the writer of this has heard him run the scales and finish the deep, rich lower register by saying, "That's Barry's legacy—the dear old fellow who left me his lower notes."—Stephen Piske. California Wines at the Centennial. It seems that the announcement by telegraph that the Centennial Commissioners in the list of awards to Pacific Coast inventors neglected the California wines exhibit, was premature. Mr. Kohler, of Kohler & Frohlang explains that the Wine Department of the Pacific exhibits has not been reached, and nearly all the manufacturers and dealers are confident that it will be fully recognized. Mr. Frohlang says: "It is a fact that California wines have been sold in first-class establishments at high prices in Philadelphia, Boston and New York under the guise of foreign wines, and it is equally true that California Rhine wine is put up in this city in bottles with foreign labels, and sold in the East as the best California Rhine wine. This brand is very popular in the Eastern States, but it could not be sold at half price under a California label. Our wine dealers here very often receive orders from New York to send California wines in German packages, so that they may the more readily dispose of them."—S. F. Post. Diplheria. A correspondent of the Los Angeles Star says: "As this dreaded disease is too prevalent in our midst, and is carrying off three fold more victims than the small-pox, I ask for a small space in your columns to mention two remedies that I have seen very officiously in many cases. They are simple and will not interfere with the Downey City Items. The Los Nietos Valley Courier has the following: Not less than six hundred dozen eggs per week are sent by wagon to Los Angeles. Dr. Fulton met with a very painful accident last Sunday, a horse he was riding falling, and striking his foot so as to crack the ankle bone. Last Sunday what might have proven a bloody tragedy was timely averted. It seems that a young man by the name of Tweedy came into town on that day, became bolsterous, was accosted by the deputy constable, and after some trouble was provailed on to be quiet. He left town, but shortly returned with four brothers, all armed, and the party advanced upon John McGarvin, deputy constable, who, being unarmed, became apprehensive for his life. Mr. McGarvin speedily armed himself, and for a brief interval it seemed as if a fearful tragedy would be enacted on our streets. This was prevented by the timely arrival of Mr. Fagan, the constable, who mildly but firmly expostilized, with the Tweedyys, and they finally, put up their weapons. This attack upon Mr. McGarvan was entirely unprovoked, he simply desiring to preserve the peace, and proceeding in a very quiet manner to do so. This town is growing rapidly, filling up with a respectable, law-abiding people, and the sooner the ruffians understand that they will not be allowed to disturb the peace the better it will be for them. All good citizens stand ready to assist our constituted authorities. The Free-Dress Reform Club in Philadelphia manifested an amusing reluctance to use the word trouser, merely declaring that there should be a proper "garmenture" for woman, and that "garmenture should be of duel form for the legs." The New York Times notice that the reformers boldly speak offlash lagen as something which can neither be polluted nor denuded," and thinks that in view of this circumstance the militant availability of the conductors may be thus somewhat less probable. A Mormon Sister. Salt Lake, September 14, 1876. He was carving at dinner, relates the Cincinnati Times, and thought he must talk to the mattele-looking angel on his right. "How do you like Beethoven?" asks at a tavern. "Well cooked," said she, infatuated in the humorous hand. This does a casual remark often swake undepended here. Dipltheria. A correspondent of the Los Angeles Star says: "As this dreaded disease is too prevalent in our midst, and is carrying off three fold more victims than the small-pox, I ask for a small space in your columns to mention two remedies that I have seen very officious in many cases. They are simple and will not interfere with the medical practice adopted, whether Allopathic, Homoeopathic or otherwise. It will certainly do no harm to try one or both. One is the external application of kerosene to the throat, especially at an early stage of the disease. The other is onions chopped and mixed with a little sweet oil; also applied to the throat—the poultices being changed as often as it gets dry or hard, or every half hour. If necessary, I have known this last to act almost like a charm even when the case had been given up as hopeless. These remedies are within the reach of all, and again I say they can do no harm. W. H. H. The following is that part of Cohen's testimony regarding the bribery of Senator Maclay: Regarding ex-Senator Maclay's milroad affiliations the witness said: It was in the Spring of 1974 that Maclay and Stanford came to my office concerning a ranch in Los Angeles county. I told them I would not advance the money to save the ranch from being sold on a mortgage. They came back again, and Stanford agreed that if I would advance the money he would guarantee its payment. I paid $43,070. I charged a commission of $2,500 and interest at 1 per cent per month. Some parties paid the money back. Stanford did not. I think that Maclay's term of office as a member of the Legislature had expired at that time. He was Chairman of the committee on Freights and Laws at the time the report was made. If Mr. Maclay had not been Chairman of that committee and made that favorable report, he never would have received that loss. I never saw Maclay until Stanford introduced him to me as Nemoursman. I make this statement from my general knowledge of the way this was done. GAZETTE 7, 1876. The Grape-Syrup Project. The St. Helena Star says: Mr. J. S. Bruce, of the grape syrup manufacture so often noted in these columns, informs us that the enterprise looks promising, and he is about going into the manufacture on a large scale. He is putting up furnaces in a small house on Sulphur Spring Creek, near Heyman's place, and at the date of this writing (Tuesday) expects to have evaporators in during the week, ready to go to work by the 25th—everything all complete, as early a period as it is thought profitable to commence working the grapes. The apparatus provided for will work through from 6 to 10 tons of grapes, making about 200 to 300 gallons of syrup, a day. This amount he has no doubt of finding a ready market for, and even much more if he had it. His plan of operations will be buying the grapes—Mission—at market price. He expects to be able to run at least fifty days this year, which at the minimum rate of consumption will dispose of 500 tons of our Mission grapes—quite relief to the wine cellars. WINE FOR COMMUNION PURPOSES. The Napa Register says: Some time ago Mr. A. M. Crow, of Yountville, made a proposition to furnish unfermented wine for communion purposes to every church in the State, of whatever name, that will use it, free of charge. As a consequence, orders are continually coming to him from various parts of California for this kind of wine for the purposes mentioned, and he in every case not only furnishes the BY TELEGRAPH INDIAN WINGER, Sr. Gen.

The party met here by the Messiah Storm and Plomont; the General Superintendent and Secretary of the Californias Arizona Stage Company, who entertained them during their stay. VALLEJO SAVINGS AND CONFIDENTIAL BANK failed to resume business this morning. The assumption caused by the financial embarrassment of its President, General J. D. Frisble. A statement published in an evening paper shows that banks will be solvent and the business will be resumed about the middle of next month. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 28 In the trial of Edward Bittenheim on the charge of fraternity, the jury at a late hour last night brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, with the punishment of imprisonment for life. Sentence will be pronounced on Monday. Council for defense gave notice of a demand for a new trial. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 28 There were filed to-day articles of incorporation of the Women's Mining WINE FOR COMMUNION PURPOSES. The Napa Register says: Some time ago Mr. A. M. Crow, of Yountville, made a proposition to furnish unfermented wine for communion purposes to every church in the State, of whatever name, that will use it, free of charge. As a consequence, orders are continually coming to him from various parts of California for this kind of wine for the purposes mentioned, and he in every case not only furnishes the wine gratuitously, but seals it hermetically in one pint and one quart cans and pays the expressage and all expenses incurred in sending it to the church ordering it. Mr. Crow estimates the cost of furnishing the churches of the State with wine, at $150 per year, but his desire to place temptation beyond the reach of many who have reformed from lute temperate habits, makes the contribution a most willing one and affords him great satisfaction. We are requested to say that applications for any quantity, however large or small, to be furnished gratuitously, can be sent either to Mr. A. M. Crow, Esq., Yountville, Napa county, or to Rev. George Morris, Vallejo, Solano county. In an article on the habits of the fly the New York Tribune ably says: "Great care has to be taken in eating huckleberries, because nothing pleases a fly so much as to be mistaken for one; and if he can be baked in a cake and pass himself off on the unwary as a currant, he dies without a regret. Boss Tweed fares the worst of his gang. Dick Connolly resides with his son-in-law, Joel R.

Sweeney lives very quietly in one of the finest private hotels in Paris, in the most beautiful quarter of the city, though his wife gives occasional souries musicales, at which she receives the fashion of the American colony, Richard Tweed, E.

Desmoulins, who is the spokesman for the body of skilled workmen that France sent to the Centennial to examine the progress of the American people in art, manufactures, etc., has made a preliminary report, in which he pronounces our exhibition to be a "grand flasco." His reasons for arriving at that decisive conclusion are very tersely, if not harshly expressed, even to the point of downright insult. He concludes bitterly of the "open robbery by Americans of the brains and producing powers of Frenchmen," illustrates his views by referring to our manufactures of porcelain. On this head M. Desmoulins says: "The Americans copy French patterns; they have the material necessary for manufacture; there are workmen capable of making fair coolers, and In course of SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 28.

Kenny F. Swift and C. J. Stevens. The object is very comprehensive, embracing the manipulation of money and capital in almost every way. The principal object is the buying and selling of mining stocks, and the leaning on money. All the women whose names appear as directors are well known and successful operators in stocks. The office of the Bureau is intended to be a sort of exchange—a place where women can go and find all the published information, not only regarding mining interests, but all sorts of business. An indicator will be placed in the room enabling members to follow the sales of the Board as they are made and messenger boys will be in attendance to permit those who wish to send orders to their brokers. The membership is not restricted to women. Men may join also, and participate in the advantages of the institution. The enterprise is said to have found favor with many business man. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 29. In the case of the Central Pacific Railroad vs. Cohen, to-day Leland Stanford explained the loan to ex-Senator Maclay concerning which Cohen recently testified, as having been induced simply by molasses of personal friendship, Maclay having asked his assistance in raising the mortgage on his ranch. BOSTON, Sept 29. The New York Bulletin thinks that there is no mistaking now the manifestations of improved and improving trade. Commercial exchanges from all parts of the country, for the week ending on Saturday last, bear testimony to the fact, supported by such convincing details, as must put incredulity at rest. WASHINGTON, Sept 29. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue says information received at the Treasury Department shows a decided improvement in the business throughout the country. Already is this improvement manifest in the increased revenue receipts, and the indications now are that the estimates for the fiscal year made last December will be exceeded by several millions.

But there are certain fine details in the work of the French which escape the coarse hand of the American copyist. Now, these Americans have ceased to buy the porcelains of France and Saxony, because they manufacture a sort for themselves. The Americans want to make all the money for themselves; they manufacture in their way all they are able, and in this way elude French importation." Eastern paper: A woman venerates her bustle.
