Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...DECEMBER 2, 1876. Even the spirits can't tell for sure. One Boston medium says Hayes will be the next President. Another sees Tilden in the White House. There is doubtless great excitement over the result in the Summer Land. The Call thinks that Martin Farquhar Tupper is better at uttering proverbs than relating facts. He is pleased with his reception in this country, and wishing to say something handsome in return for the courtesies and hospitalities tendered him, writes back to his friends in England: For morals, which include social, there is so vast a stride toward absolute temperance that Americas may now be called a water-drinking people." A newspaper contemporary considers this a joke on our people, "who pay into the Government Treasury over $100,000,000 annually for the privilege of making whiskey alone, to say nothing of the millions extracted from the whisky tax fund by members of the 'whisky ring.'" But, then, poets must have their license, and Mr. Tupper is a poet. A poor man in Anaheim, Cal., having been wronged by a rich man, he avenged himself by getting the small-pox and then lying down and dying in the hall of the rich man's house — New York Ledger, Nov. 25th. Bless your dear innocent heart, Mr. Bonner, that's nothing. Almost similar events happen in Anaheim every day. On last Wednesday there was a feller set fire to a private residence here, which cost $56,000 before it got the roof on, and when the inmates tried to escape, the whole population turned out and drove them back into the flames. We had a perfectly splendid time, and if you had been here RAILROAD vs. ANAHEIM LANDING. The necessity of Supporting the Anaheim Lighter Company—The Consequences of a Suspension of the Company—The Grasping Los Angeles & San Bernardino Land Company Denounced—A Strong Appeal to the People to Build a Wharf. Eds. GAZETTE—A few days ago an article appeared in your paper, signed F. A. K., calling attention to the extraordinary charges made by the railroad for carriage of a lot of empty pipes from Wilmington anchorage to Anaheim. The allusion to this instance of extortion induces me to say a few words to shippers of freight to and from San Francisco in general, and to Anaheim merchants in particular. This community has the good fortune at the present time in having in the little Anaheim Landing an active opposition to the grasping and grinding (if ever a chance presents itself) monopoly of Stanford & Co. That this opposition has not already been destroyed is due (be it said to the shame of the Anaheim community in general and the Anaheim merchants in particular) solely to the patronage of Halberstadt & Co., Goodman & Rimpau and A. Langenberger, also to Westminster and Santa Ana shippers. What would these penny-wise and pound-foolish say should the railroad magnate, after Anaheim Landing had been closed by reason of non-patronage, double the present rates on freight as would undoubtedly be the result? Most likely the answer would be, "Oh, we charge the double freight on the goods and the consumer must stand the loss." This same answer has been given to the writer several times. Now, this is true enough from the standpoint of profit and loss, in one sense; but, per contra, we all know that many a close customer will go to more than double the work to be done. But man has the practical shown by Mr. Jones in wharf and railroad at But to the point: Is it able to build a wharf or it is, if the people want GAZETTE and all introspection of country keen public; let us hear of and of the convenience point out what a saving the merchants, to the whole community not blind to his own take one or more share of Santa Ana have shown by building a stalling a landing, and degree has helped to bition. Now, let Anaheim minister show that enough to build a wharf will not follow, and kinds in and around not show a value increase of more than five times wharf. I shall be much this communication plea to patronize the have a wharf, and the minds of the people wharf. The Meeting Pursuant to a call p.GAZETTE, a meeting taxpayers was held noon at Kroeger's Haven was called to preside and M. L. Wicks was Upon taking the challenge that the object was to consult to whether it would ask the Board of the county to go charter. He favored because without it, provments would new Bless your dear innocent heart, Mr. Bonner, that's nothing. Almost similar events happen in Anaheim every day. On last Wednesday there was a seller set fire to a private residence here, which cost $56,000 before it got the roof on, and when the inmates tried to escape, the whole population turned out and drove them back into the flames. We had a perfectly splendid time, and if you had been here you would have laughed yourself into convulsions. Why, it was only yesterday that some of our most respectable young men took eight infants of tender years and hurled them over the precipice, in the rear of the hotel, into the foaming, seething and angry sea. Great snakes! but you ought to have seen the sea-lions gobble up the innocents! We air a great people in Anaheim, we air; and if you will send out your most gifted liar from New York we will guarantee that he will be able to supply your columns with some of the funniest incidents imaginable. There is no need of filling your valuable and reliable paper with such tame trash as the paragraph we have quoted. The reporter of a San Francisco paper has been interviewing the medicos on the subject of diptheria. He gleaned the following information from one of them: Diptheria is as much a zymotic disease as is small-pox or scarlet fever. It is a poisonous condition of the blood, and the swollen glands, sore throat, etc., are simply local evidences of its existence. It is, without doubt, extremely infectious, being propagated by contact with the clothing, and more especially by bodily contact, such as kissing. Among the first evidences are soreness of the throat, often very slight, swelling of the lymphatic glands—that is, those of the neck below the jaw—fever and loss of appetite, an offensive breath, and a gangrenous false membrane of a grayish or dirty white, which at first appears in patches on the tonsils and then spreads to the palate, etc. If there is any reason to believe that a person is infected with the disease, some one should insert the handle of a spoon into the patient's mouth, examine the throat carefully, and should any of these whitish spots be found, send for a doctor at once. This disease is very rapid in its growth, and cannot be too quickly attended to. One of its forms is almost always fatal—croupal diptheria—that is where it is accompanied by a hoarse, croupy cough. I would in some respects prefer having small-pox in my family to diptheria, for there are more safeguards against contagion in the former. At the worst one can be vaccinated and take the disease only been closed by reason of non-patronage, double the present rates on freight as would undoubtedly be the result? Most likely the answer would be, "Oh, we charge the double freight on the goods and the consumer must stand the loss." This same answer has been given to the writer several times. Now, this is true enough from the standpoint of profit and loss, in one sense; but, per contra, we all know that many a close customer will go ten or twenty miles to obtain a reduction of fifty or sixty cents on a barrel of sugar or flour; and once in such a place, where he can buy heavy goods a little cheaper, he buys as well his other goods there. And these results follow naturally, because Anaheim merchants have to pay so much more freight now. Do away with Anaheim Landing, and the consequence will be that Los Angeles, which has, on account of the Santa Monica Railroad opposition, very low freight charges, would gather in the little trade left us now, entirely, because the Stanford railroad charges would drive all the larger customers away. The opposition which Los Angeles possesses in the Santa Monica wharf and railroad, has, in my opinion, done more to increase the wealth and commercial influence and importance of Los Angeles than all the railroads of Stanford and Co. As an evidence of what may be expected from the Stanford monopoly, I will instance the present rates of freight between Anaheim and Los Angeles and between Anaheim and Wilmington anchorage: From Anaheim to Los Angeles, a distance of 27 miles,and a route on which there is no opposition,the rate of freight on common goods is 18cm/100bs; passage,$1.50; whilst from Anaheim to Wilmington anchorage,a distance of 43 miles,with heavy additional expenses of lighterage,the rate is only fifteen cents,and fare$1.75. What is the cause of this discrimination? It results,very simply,从the opposition at Anaheim Landing.Is it not reasonable therefore to assert that it is the interest,nay eventhe dutyof all to patronize our landing to the full extent of each one's ability.If the shippers in general would do this,the business would soon become sufficiently large to materially lower lighterage and freight so that a strong opposition would be made to the monopolists. In connection with this subject,I will say a few words about the construction of a wharf,either near the taxpayers was held noon at Kroeger's Hause was called to preside and M.L.Wicks was upon taking the chair that the object owed was to consult to whether it would ask the Board of the county to go charter.He favored because without it,the provments would never unless something was a danger that we were by other settlements present to give their matter.

Mr.Flscher statedformer citycharterthe Council receiv infected with the disease, some one should insert the handle of a spoon into the patient's mouth, examine the throat carefully, and should any of these whitish spots be found, send for a doctor at once. This disease is very rapid in its growth, and cannot be too quickly attended to. One of its forms is almost always fatal—croupal diptheria—that is where it is accompanied by a hoarse, croupy cough. I would in some respects prefer having small-pox in my family to diptheria, for there are more safeguards against contagion in the former. At the worst one can be vaccinated and take the disease only in a mild form. When there is a case of diptheria in the family the greatest care must be taken to guard against contamination. The patient's clothes must be washed in boiling water, and be used by no other person. There should be no good-night and morning kisses given, for they, of all things, extend the disease. The children should be kept in the open air and sun as much as possible. The windows should be kept open that the rooms be thoroughly ventilated, for fresh air is the greatest counteractant. Above all things there should be no stinted diet, but any amount of wholesome, strengthening food, for in the weak system and disorganized stomach lie the main roots of the disease. With good medical advice promptly called, and with proper attention to exercise, air, food, and non-contact with the sick person, there is every reason to hope that the disease will not spread in a family. As a rule, children only are its victims, for it is rare to find the case of a grown person who does not recover from its effects. Sacramento Bee: Rosualdo Pacheco is the luckiest politician in California. He has been Assemblyman, State Treasurer, Lieutenant Governor, and now he has been elected to Congress by a majority of one vote in a district which is largely Democratic. The Riverside News says: The plans and specifications for the hotel are fully complete and signed, and have already been commenced in the rear of Mr. Cunningham's. When all completed it will form a solid brick of 115 by 110 feet. The hotel will contain forty sleeping apartments besides office, parlors, dining room, kitchen, laundry, etc. The expenses in addition to those now erected are estimated at about $10,000. to more than double the cost of the work to be done. But, then, not every man has the practical common sense shown by Mr. Jones in building the wharf and railroad at Santa Monica. But to the point: Is this community able to build a wharf now? I say yes it is, if the people want it. Let the GAZETTE and all interested in this section of country keep it before the public; let no bear of the advantages and of the convenience of a wharf; point out what a saving it would be to the merchants, to the farmer and to the whole community. Everybody not blind to his own advantage will take one or more shares. The people of Santa Ana have shown their enterprise by building a steamer and establishing a landing, and this in no small degree has helped to build up that section. Now, let Anaheim and Westminster show that they have pluck enough to build a wharf; and if, after the completion of the wharf, a railroad will not follow, and property of all kinds in and around these towns do not show a value increase in one year of more than five times the cost of the wharf, I shall be much mistaken. Take this communication first for an appeal to patronize the Landing until we have a wharf, and then to prepare the minds of the people for building a wharf. X.X.X The Meeting Tuesday. Pursuant to a call published in the GAZETTE, a meeting of citizens and taxpayers was held Tuesday afternoon at Kroeger's Hall. Dr. Higgins was called to preside over the meeting and M. L. Wicks was elected Secretary. Upon taking the chair, the Dr. stated that the object of the meeting was to consult together and see whether it would be advisable to ask the Board of Supervisors of the county to grant us a town charter. He favored incorporation, because without it, much needed improvements would never be made, and and it is natural for people to expect to see some artifice of public spirit. In a place which has the reputation of being popped by a wealthy, refined and intelligent class. We have not space to do justice to the Judge's remarks, which were replete with sensible advice. At the conclusion of his address the committee on boundaries reported that they had agreed upon the lines of the town. [The boundaries are given in the petition to the Board of Supervisors, published below.] A discussion ensued in regard to the boundaries proposed, but they were finally adopted. The following is the petition: To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County: Gentlemen—We the undersigned residents and property owners of the hereinafter described tract, constituting the old town of Anaheim, with so much of the extensions as make up seventeen hundred and fifty-seven acres, hereby respectfully petition your Honorable Body to grant to us a town charter, as provided in an Act of the Legislature, approved April 19th, 1856. The town to be known as the Town of Anaheim, and to be bounded as follows: Beginning at the north-east corner of the original purchase of Outliveras, being the north-east corner formed by the intersection of North and East streets; thence on a line along the north boundary of North street and North street projected until it intersects a north and south line drawn through the center of sections 9 and 16 (nine and sixteen) of Township 4 (four) S., Range (10) West, as now established; then along the said line southerly until it intersects the south line of section sixteen, same Township and Range, being south-west corner of Anaheim extension; thence east along south boundary of Anaheim extension to Walnut street; thence north along east boundary of Walnut street to south-west corner of lot (31) thirty-one; thence along south boundary line of lot 31, and along the south boundary of a 233-acre tract of land sold by Juan P. Ontiveras to Hansen and others, now owned by J.K. Dreyfus, John F. Zeyn, S.A. Sheffield and others, to the south-east corner of said tract; thence northerly to the south-east corner of the original Anaheim tract, thence along east boundary of East street to point of beginning, as shown by accompanying map. And BY TELEGRAPH SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28. In the Clay-Marriott list suit case today, in the City Criminal Court, Mr. Highland appeared for the presentation, and Col. Barnes for the defendant. Frederick Marriott, Jr., a son of the defendant, testified that he was the business manager of the News-Letter, which had a general circulation. W.J. Dakin, Willard Hodges and James M.Wilkins all testified to the same effect that, at the request of the plaintiff, they separately went to Marriott, and tried to persuade him not to publish anything in addition to the article published Sept. 9th. charging Clay with being an absconder from Melbourne, Australia, where he was teller in the Union Bank, and that Marriott said he had been paid $750 for publishing the matter one year but would suppress it for $1,000; that it was purely a matter of business with him, and that Clay was a good fellow and he had nothing against him. Frederick Clay testified that he came here 22 years ago, was 17 years old when he left Melbourne; that he left there under an assumed name to escape his father, who did not wish him to come to California. There was nothing wrong in his accounts with the Union Bank of Melbourne where he was employed. He left the Bank on leave of absence, with permission to return, if desired. The prosecution rested here. Frederick Marriott, senior, testified in his own behalf for the defense. He sent no message to Clay about the publication of the article. He told the person who called to see about it he would suppress it for an equivalent of what he would make by publishing it. He did not ask one thousand dollars. It was a mere matter of business with him; it was published as an advertisement; everything in the News-Letter is an advertisement; there is no way of distinguishing editorials from advertisements in the News-Letter; I received my pay for this article from money that came in by way of patronage to the paper for publishing like articles. The matter came from the Bank in Australia, with a request to publish it; no one in this city paid for its publication; the matter in the paper under the head of "Town Crier" is not advertisements. taxpayers was held Tuesday afternoon at Kroeger's Hall. Dr. Higgins was called to preside over the meeting and M.L. Wicks was elected Secretary. Upon taking the chair, the Dr. stated that the object of the meeting was to consult together and see whether it would be advisable to ask the Board of Supervisors of the county to grant us a town charter. He favored incorporation, because without it, much needed improvements would never be made, and unless something was done there was a danger that we would be eclipsed by other settlements. He invited those present to give their views on the matter. At the request of Mr. Langenberger, Mr. E. F. Cahill read the principal points of the law under which it is proposed to incorporate Anaheim, and which have already appeared in the Gazette. Mr. Cahill, in commenting upon the law, said that it required that a majority of the citizens of the proposed town should petition the Supervisors for a charter, and that he could see no way to determine how many was necessary to constitute a majority except by holding an election for that purpose. He further stated that the law did not make any provisions for fixing the compensation of the Trustees, and that this was a very serious defect. The officials ought to be paid well for their trouble, and if they were not so paid they would make it up by stealing. Mr. Wicks, in answer, stated that the Supervisors would not be captious in the matter of the number of signatures necessary to the petition; if responsible man vouched that the signatures to the petition constituted a majority of the citizens. In regard to the Trustees' compensation, Mr. Wicks called attention to the fact that, before the Consolidation Act, the Supervisors of San Francisco served without salary. He thought there would be no difficulty in securing plenty of capable men to act as Trustees without compensation, and honest enough to refrain from stealing. The Chair corroborated Mr. Wicks' statement in regard to the San Francisco Supervisors giving their services gratuitously; and not only that, but on one occasion when the gas pipes were removed from the room in which the Supervisors met, in consequence of a disagreement between the City Fathers and the gas company, each Supervisor brought a candle with him when he came to attend a meeting. Mr. Goodman said that at one time the members of the Los Angeles City Council served the City without compensation, and that as soon as they commenced receiving a salary for their services they commenced stealing. Mr. Fischer stated that under the former city charter the members of the Council received no salary, and south boundary of Anaheim extension to Walnut street; thence north along east boundary of Walnut street to south-west corner of lot (31) thirty-one; thence along south boundary line of lot 31, and along the south boundary of a 283-acre tract of land sold by Juan P. Ontiveras to Hansen and others, now owned by R. Dreyfus, John F. Zeyn, S. A. Sheffield and others, to the south-east corner of said tract; thence northerly to the south-east corner of the original Anaheim tract, thence along east boundary of East street to point of beginning, as shown by accompanying map. And that an election be ordered for the selection of Trustees and other officers as provided in said act. And these petitioners further pray that the County Clerk be instructed to apportion the amounts in the county treasury for the credit of the road districts of which the town of Anaheim as incorporated, formerly constituted a part, on a basis of property valuation, and assign and set over to the credit of said town of Anaheim whatever is found to be the amount coming to it, and that the same be subject to the order of the Board of Trustees of said town. The qualified voters within said boundary lines amount to about two hundred and fifty, among whom are your petitioners, who have each resided within said limits for the last thirty days. And your petitioners will ever pray, etc., etc. Mr. Fischer moved that three copies of the petition be made, and that voluntary canvassers take the petitions and secure signatures thereto, and have them ready to lay before the Board of Supervisors which meet on next Monday. The motion was carried, and Messra. Fischer, Crowther and Wartenburg volunteered to canvass for signatures. Mr. Langenberger read the following petition: ANAHEIM, Nov. 28th, 1876. To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County. GENTLEMEN: The undersigned citizens and tax-payers of Los Angeles County, and residents of Anaheim township, respectfully represent to your Honorable body that the county road leading from Anaheim to Anaheim Landing is in a deplorable condition, and in the rainy season, now near at hand, almost impossible to use for lined teams. We further say that we have repeatedly applied to your Honorable body for relief in this matter, but that so far the road is in a very bad state, and therefore pray that you may order the road master of this district to place the road in a servicable state so that we can use it for a highway, for which it is intended. Most respectfully, All present were then invited to sign both petitions after which the meeting was formally adjourned. The harmony and unanimity of sentiment displayed by those present was extremely gratifying, and there can be no doubt that a very decided majority of the tax-paying element of the community are in favor of the proposed measure. The San Diego Union will hereafter lars. It was a mere matter of business with him; it was published as an advertisement; everything in the News-Letter is an advertisement; there is no way of distinguishing editorials from advertisements in the News-Letter; I received my pay for this article from money that came in by way of patronage to the paper for publishing like articles. The matter came from the Bank in Australia, with a request to publish it; no one in this city paid for its publication; the matter in the paper under the head of 'Town Crier' is not advertisements. Here defendant rested and Col. Barnes addressed the Court on matters of law SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29. The excitement is still kept up concerning the Congressional election in fourth district. Secretary of State Beck is holding back the canvass of the Congressional vote, though returns from Marin county have been received by mail at his office, and there is nothing to prevent an immediate canvass. The delay, however, is probably to give time for the District Court at Monterey to decide as to whether the Clerk in San Lorenzo preduct has the right to correct an erroneous footing of the returns, after they had been certified to by the Supervisors. On that question depends the majority of either Pacheco or Wigginton. M.D. Boruck, Secretary of Republican State Central Committee, intimates that a pressure is being brought to bear upon the Secretary of State not to issue a certificate to Pacheco, thus putting the burden of contest on him. Pacheco himself, in an interview, says that Secretary Beck admitted to him that he was elected, but that, yielding to the pressure of party friends, he could not at present issue his certificate. One report in this connection is that Gov. Irwin, Wigginton and Attorney - General Hamilton have had a secret consultation with a view of bringing pressure enough to bear upon Markley, Clerk of Monterey county, to induce him to issue another return to the Secretary of State, giving the original figures as returned by the Board of Supervisors and that Mr. Beck will then issue a certificate of election to Wigginton, who will then have a majority of one. This is the scheme, but some gentlemen from Monterey stated that believed Markley to be honest, and that he (Markley) had assured them that he should make no change as the figures already sent to the Secretary of State are correct. The evidences of Democratic frauds in Fresno, Stanislaus, San Benito and Monterey counties are said by Republicans to be accumulating, and will be used to offset any attempt to count Mr. Wigginton in. The jury in the case of Frank Clay against Marriott, for extortion, brought in a verdict last evening of guilty, as charged, after an absence of half an hour. Marriott is to appear for sentence this morning. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29. In the City Criminal Court this morning, Marriott, of the News-Letter, was brought up for sentence and fined $500, the highest amount pro- plies were removed from the room in which the Supervisors met, in consequence of a disagreement between the City Fathers and the gas company, each Supervisor brought a candle with him when he came to attend a meeting. Mr. Goodman said that at one time the members of the Los Angeles City Council served the City without compensation, and that as soon as they commenced receiving a salary for their services they commenced stealing. Mr. Fischer stated that under the former city charter the members of the Council received no salary, and there was no stealing either. The expense of the city government for one year amounted to $750; and out of this sum was paid the salary of the Marshal, Clerk and Assessor. He urged upon the meeting the necessity of having the town incorporated, and supported his argument with pungent points and palpable facts. Dr. Hardin then addressed the meeting. He was in favor of incorporation—very much in favor of it. It was necessary to our prosperity, and ought to have been done years ago. Speaking as a professional man, he stated that Anaheim would become a hotbed of malaria if some steps were not taken to remedy the sanitary condition of the town. He made extended remarks on the subject and fully endorsed the statements heretofore made by the Gazette in reference to the disastrous effects that would ensue if the present nuisances were allowed to much longer exist. Mr. Fischer then moved that we do petition the Supervisors to incorporate the town. Carried unanimously. Mr. Scott moved that the chair appoint a committee of three to define the boundaries of the town. The motion being carried, the chair appointed Messrs. Scott, Knox and Langenberger, and those gentlemen retired for consultation. During their absence Judge Bailey made a short, sensible address, in which he stated that he was in full sympathy with this movement, as well as with any other whose object was to benefit the community. Incorporation is the only remedy for the evils we complain of, because "what is everybody's business is nobody's business." Strangers coming to Anaheim are shocked and disappointed at perceiving the condition of our principal thoroughfans. Anaheim has a wide reputation absurd, master of this district to place the road in a servicable state so that we can use it for a highway, for which it is intended. Most respectfully, All present were then invited to sign both petitions, after which the meeting was formally adjourned. The harmony and unanimity of sentiment displayed by those present was extremely gratifying, and there can be no doubt that a very decided majority of the tax-paying element of the community are in favor of the proposed measure. The San Diego Union will hereafter be published as an evening paper. The official vote of Tennessee: Tilden 133,166; Hayes, 80,566.

There is considerable excitement about the matter.

No Judge or sheriff being present when the prohibited cavans took place, it is utterly without legal validity. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20. FLOUR—Extra in jobbing lots steady at $6 50@9 87$, silver.
