SATURDAY...SEPTEMBER 8, 1877.
LARKIKINISH is a word which the Australians have invented to describe the operations of lads, larkinks, between 18 and 20, who, in the suburbs of Melbourne and other towns, are addicted to brutal assaults, outrages on women, highway robberies, and incendiaries, and seem to do pretty much as they please. They seem to be the counterpart of the California "hoodlum" and their exploits are evoking a large outcry.
Gov. Irwin has received a lengthy communication from Raimon Rosa, President of the Republic of Honduras, Central America, requesting that a complete set of the codes of this State be forwarded to him. The communication sets forth that after a careful investigation of the workings of the laws of the several States of the Union, and a comparison between them and those of the republics of the world, the leading lawyers of Honduras have concluded to adopt, to a great extent, the codes of California, and in accordance with this conclusion the request is made.
A NUMEROUSLY signed petition to the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco, asks for the appointment of a Committee to wait upon the six Chinese companies who control Chinese immigration; and ship companies, particularly the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, in whose ships the Chinese are chiefly brought here, and represent to them the dangers which threaten us by the great influx of Chinese to our shores, and request them to desist from their further importation until the United States and Chinese Governments shall have an opportunity to consider the question grave involved.
MAJOR POWELL is preparing for Congress a sensational—but, it is claimed, accurate—report on the comparatively small amount of arable land in the Union now owned by the Government. In the humid, or arable belt, cast of a line from the eastern point of Lake Superior to the Gulf, he says, the United States owns no land that is not taken up. In the sub-arid division, 350 miles wide, to the
OUR WATER TROUBLES.
Now that the biennial contest for the spoils of office is nearly over, the public mind, which has temporarily been absorbed with the details of the acrimonious political contest, will naturally revert to that subject which is paramount to every other—the water question.
In the natural course of events, but a couple of months will elapse ere the rainy season sets in. At the first thought, this would seem to be an argument why the solution of securing an abundant water supply should be postponed. "If" some may say,
"in a couple of months the clouds will give down abundance of moisture, it is a needless expenditure of time and money to build ditches; for by the time they are finished the copious rains will do away with the necessity of using them." This, of course, is a foolish argument, but it has passed into a proverb that the fool-killer is sometimes derelict in his duty, and allows numbers of his subjects to still encumber the earth. The way the water question has been treated puts one in mind of-the story of the man whose house needed shingling, and who deferred making the necessary repairs until too late. When the rains came and poured through the leaky roof the damage was done, and he promised himself to make the repairs when dry weather came. But when dry weather came there was clearly no immediate necessity for fixing the roof, and the same programme was gone through with a number of times. So it has been in our treatment of the water question.
The present exceptionally dry year has shown to the most obtuse the necessity existing for securing a reliable water supply, but the summer was almost gone ere one stroke of work was done looking to that end. Our readers in other localities will have difficulty in comprehending the tardiness and delay which has been exhibited in this matter when they are informed that within a few miles there is a large body of water, more than doubly sufficient for our wants. But this lack of comprehension is not confined to non-residents; there are many living here to whom the delay is as great a mystery.

The sun rose on the morning September as serenely as in its going down it wont hope of a thousand wonders. In fact, nature seemed to be great commotion as she breasts of the sons owed a serene disregard of her.
In Anaheim the day past Although there was confusion done by the partisans of there was but little laudation of candidates Constable were there—the them, and there really interest felt in the context in any of the more important tense feeling developed fight between Barham and the damage done to these pieces of the belligerents we call for special remark.

MAJOR POWELL is preparing for Congress a sensational—but, it is claimed, accurate—report on the comparatively small amount of arable land in the Union now owned by the Government. In the humid, or arable belt, cast of a line from the eastern point of Lake Superior to the Gulf, he says, the United States owns no land that is not taken up. In the sub-arid division, 350 miles wide, to the west, the United States owns a considerable quantity of land, which may be cultivated by irrigation. West of that, in the immense arid belt extending from the Rocky Mountains into Eastern California, only two per cent. of the land can be cultivated, and of this, much has been pre-empted.
CONDENSED beer, prepared according to a new process patented in England, appears likely to become of commercial importance. The liquid may be taken at any stage of fermentation, although preferably at the time when it is fit for drinking. It is evaporated in a vacuum, until a large part of the water and alcohol is distilled away, and the beer is reduced to a thick, viscid fluid of about the consistency of molasses. The alcohol and water pass off in vapor, which is condensed, and the alcohol subsequently obtained by re-distilation is mixed with the condensed beer either before bottling or afterward. In this way beer may be reduced to one eighth or one-twelfth its original bulk, and it is said, will keep for any length of time. To restore the beer to its first consistency it is only necessary to add the bulk of water distilled off with a small quantity of yeast or other ferment, and in forty-eight hours the beer is ready for bottling. If charged with carbonic acid in a receiver, renewed fermentation is obviated.
CALIFORNIA offers a boundless field for immigration, says the San Francisco Alta, but this statement should be so qualified as to indicate the particular class of immigrants whose settlement is desirable at the present time. There is no disgusing the fact that there is more than enough labor here now to supply the demand. Hard times in other States have forced thousands of workmen to seek employment in California. Most of them come without means and they necessarily suffer many privations. They come here faster than labor opportunities offer, and have no capital to make opportunities for themselves. Such immigrants are redundant and for the present, at least, they should be discouraged from coming. There is another class of immigrants now arriving, whose settlement is fast bringing California to the front rank in the galaxy of States. Forehanded, thrifty farmers, with the will to work and the capital to make their labor productive, are rapidly settling our waste places and bringing our hitherto unoccupied land under profitable cultivation. Their advent is not so immediately noticeable, for they are soon assimilated and absorbed by our resident population. Yet these are the men to desisal from their further importation until the United States and Chinese Governments shall have an opportunity to consider the question grave involved.
The Cajon Irrigation Company, to which we have referred on several occasions, a few weeks ago commenced work and a law-split at the same time. The work inaugurated is for the purpose of constructing a ditch, and the law-suit is for the purpose of condemning the ditch already built under the Bush Act, and afterwards taken possession of by the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company. The latter company secured the ditch by condemnation, and now it is proposed to take it away from them by the same legal process. The public sympathy is manifestly in favor of the Cajon Irrigation Company. That corporation was organized from a great necessity. Its stockholders are men whose crops are perishing for want-of water, and as they saw that the "Land Company's Water Company" had no present intention of completing the ditch, they adopted the other alternative of building one themselves.
It has often been asked why the Anaheim Water Company does not assist the Cajon Company by subscribing for stock and thus furnishing the means necessary to put a large force of men at work in constructing the ditch. The reason as given by the Trustees of the Anaheim Company is that they do not want to buy into a law-suit. They are anxious and willing to join with any corporation in securing water, but they would first like to see all legal questions settled. Whether or not this is an excess of caution, in view of existing circumstances, we are not now prepared to say, but will leave this phase of the matter for future discussion.
With the light we have before us, however, we do think that our farmers, vineyardists and agriculturists generally, are justified in helping the Cajon Irrigation Company to the extent of their means. The more money that Company can get the more men it can place on the ditch; and the more men on the ditch the less time it will take to secure an abundance of water.
JOHN F. SWIFT, of San Francisco, who is an independent candidate for the Legislature on an anti-Water Monopoly platform, illustrates one of the beauties of the meter system, which has just been introduced by the Spring Valley Water Company. He says:
A gentleman named Skidmore came to this city from Mud Flat with his family, and bought a house from the Real Estate Associates. The house had a water meter attached, and Skidmore was informed of the peculiarities of the machine before using it. The first morning he got up early and told Mrs. Skidmore to make him a cup of coffee, and to be very careful in turning off the water. She thought she was careful, but upon looking at the meter she found that she had used 180 gallons. Skidmore cautioned her again and went down town, figuring up what his bill would be in one month as that rate.

The San Bernardino Argus speaks of a proposition of the McFadden brothers to make Newport the outlet of the San Bernardo trade by opening a direct wagon road through the two counties to the landing. The Argus looks with favor on the proposition and says:
Our town received a visit, a few days ago, from Mr. McFadden, of Newport, who made a proposition to the business men here, which in our opinion, they will do well to listen to. This gentleman owns a freight steamer which for the last three years has been plying between Newport and San Francisco. He also owns the wharf and warehouse at that point. His charges from San Francisco to Newport is $4 per ton, and no charge for wharfage or storage. He says that if our county will build a road to the line between this county and Los Angeles county, the latter county will build the remaining distance to the landing. Now, it is estimated by good judges that our portion of the road can be put in splendid order for the small sum of $500. The road would not cross the river except at the Agua Mansa (Salt Lake street) crossing, and would be over hard, level ground the whole distance. It would pass through Riverside, and Mr. McFadden informs us that the merchants and people generally are decidedly in favor of the route. In case this road is built Mr. McFadden will enter into a contract with our business men to deliver freight from San Francisco to San Bernardino at $10 per ton, which would make a considerable difference between the exorbitant rates of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which ranges from $18 to $40 per ton.
New York World: The "Great Naturalist of the North" is infesting the South and whitening negroes at $50 each, 10 down, the remainder on obtaining absolute pulchritude. The operator offers to whiten one volunteer free. The operator treats him with nitric acid, warning him that the instantaneous process is painful. The volunteer soon howls and gives in, but no one will come forward but the Great Naturalist's corked confederates, who, after much howling and squirming, are washed white as snow. Then the negroes buy the anti-Ethiopic Remedy freely, and the Naturalist of the North silently steals away before they have had time to discover the fraud.
THE ELECTION.
How the Day Passed in Anaheim—A Scrimmage—Very Little Excitement—Returns from Various Precincts.
The sun rose on the morning of the 5th of September as serenely as if unconscious that in its going down it would carry with it the hopes of a thousand would-be office holders. In fact, nature seemed not at all conscious of the great commotion which was agitating the breasts of the sons of men, and manifested a serene disregard of the political struggle.
In Anaheim the day passed very quietly. Although there was considerable hard work done by the partisans of the different tickets, there was but little boisterous, vaunting landation of candidates. The aspirants for Constable were there,—the entire seven of them, and there really seemed to be more interest felt in the contest for that office than in any of the more important ones. The intense feeling developed into a short-lived fight between Barham and Cheeseman, but the damage done to the beautiful countenances of the belligerents was not sufficient to call for special remark.
Through the blunder of somebody, fifty thousand Republicans tickets were printed not in accordance with law. The error was discovered before the tickets were sent out through the county. These illegal tickets were not destroyed, as they should have been, and in consequence some got mixed with the gennine. As a result the Republicans lost 12 votes in this precinct, and it is presumable that the illegal ticket was voted to some extent in other precincts.
The following returns were received by telegraph and by special courier:

Terrible Fire in New York.
New York, Sept. 4.
J. P. Hall's piano factory on Thirty-fifth street was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. It is rumored that ten persons perished in the flames. The fire extended to the south side of the street, destroying an entire block between Tenth and Eleventh avenues; also Connolly's barrel factory, J. Graham & Co.'s silk factory, and several houses adjoin on the south, J. Walker's charcoal factory north of Thirty-fifth street, and a block of frame houses on Tenth, around between Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth. One steam fire engine was burned.
The fire originated through Nicholas Monk a varnish rubber who was heating some varnish over a stove. While his back was turned the varnish got ablaze and the flames spread like a flash. He fleed at once for his life, giving the alarm as he ran, but the windows being open, the flames swept through the building, finding fresh fuel at every step. It is supposed that about twenty men were employed in the building at the time; on the seventh floor,26; on the fourth,31; on the fifth,sixth and other floors about150. It cannot yet be ascertained how many have been burned in the building. The hatchways in one corner were open and the flames rushed to the upper stories as if through a fissure. Several firemen say that from the windows of the upper story of the factory men were
calling for ladders for God's sake, but that the ladders were not long enough to reach them,
and even if they had been long enough they could not have been placed in position owing
to the intense heat. Some fell to the pavement, and others, after wildly waving their arms, fell back into the burning mass behind them.
The great eight-story wall on Thirty-sixth street fell almost without notice, and who are buried under it will not be known until the debris is moved away. The wildest excitement prevailed as the flames leaped to the adjoining buildings—mainly tenement houses. Men, women and children fled for their lives. They saved nothing and went fortunate to escape with their lives even. Up to a late hour last night the number of casualties reported were as follows: Oliver Pasoncker jumped from the top story and was instantly killed. Annie Smith, a child, was another in a tenement house adjoining the factory. The injured were as follows: Paul Hess, employed in the factory, jumped from the seventh story window to a house adjoining the building, not dangerously injured. Thomas Lading jumped from the fifth story and escaped with slight injury. James Rolan, foreman, had both legs broken. John F. Taugast, employed in the factory, dropped from the second story, severely burned and leg broken by the fall.

Settling the Affairs of Government:
SALT LAKE, Sept. 5.
At a meeting of apostles held to-day, David H. Wells and John-W. Young, counsellors to the late Brigham Young, were present to take steps for the future management of the Mormon church. It was arranged that the quorum of apostles, as next in order to the President, should assume control of the church. The meeting was amicable and the arrangement proved satisfactory to all present, and doubtless will be so to Mormons generally.
John Taylor, the first of the apostles, is virtually the head of the Mormon Church. A committee was appointed to manage the financial affairs until October 6th, when he's walk on the terrace. He afterwards wrote until noon, when he took lunch on a good appetite. Towards the end of the repast he stammered out a few words; his mouth contracted, his eyes became covered with a film and he was carried to bed. His physicians ordered mustard plasters and loches. M. Thiers did not appear entirely aware of his danger and the prostration was complete after twenty minutes had elapsed. To-day a number of well-known politicians went to St. Germains to condole with Madame Thiers, and telegrams of condolence were received from all parts. President MacMahon, who is at Mont Brison, upon being informed of the death of M. Thiers, immediately telegraphed to Paris to convene the Cabinet Council to arrange for solemnizing the funeral with the greatest pomp. President MacMahon thinks that, in the presence of such a loss to the country, all divisions should for the time disappear, that a great national demonstration may be made to pay honor to one who has rendered such great services to France. President MacMahon has sent a telegram of condolence to Madame Thiers, and the official Journal will to-morrow publish a decree announcing that the expenses of the funeral will be borne by the State. It is believed that the corps will be interred in the Hotel des Invalides. The whole Republican press express profound and sincere sorrow. Private telegrams from the provinces show that M. Thiers' death is regarded as a national calamity. Most of the evening papers appear with black borders, and even journals opposed to M. Thiers generally render homage to the illustrious patriot, although they mingle with their praises disapproval of his most recently expressed opinions.
Bradley's Denial.
NEWARK, Sept. 6.
Justice Bradley, in a letter to the Newark Advertiser, denies the Sun's charges throughout. He says he did not read or express an opinion. There was no discussion, no calls. He decided the electoral vote honestly, and free from political or other extraneous consideration.

Brigham Young's Will.
New York, Sept. 4.
The Tribune's Salt Lake special says that Brigham Young's will was read to-day in the presence of all of his wives and children and a few friends. Brigham Young, Jr., Geo. Q. Cannon and Albert Carrington are named as his executors. The estate is largely real estate and probably worth two millions of dollars. The will was made four years ago and his youngest child, born of Mary VanCott, was then three years old. Young was the father of fifty six children. He left seventeen wives, sixteen sons and twenty-eight daughters. The will aims to make an equitable division of the property between all the wives and children, with no preference to any. Most of them have already had something decided them. On this a valuation has been set, and it is to be charged to the recipients as a part of their share, though not necessarily at the valuation he put on it, as that is to be equitably adjusted when the estate is divided, when the youngest child comes of age. Meanwhile, the income is to go to the various mothers according to the number of children, and they can withhold the revenues if the children behave badly. All are provided for, as far as their present needs are concerned. His first wife and Amelia are given a life interest in Amelia Palace, a large modern residence house. Young is known to have changed his mind about this provision, however, because they declined it for reasons best known to themselves. There is nothing in or out of the will which has yet come to light, showing such an arrangement, and these two wives are not otherwise provided for except for their share of the general income. The deceased held many interests in trust for the church and for individuals. His executors are directed to turn them over properly. The church is forbidden by law to hold more than $500,000 worth of property. So it was largely held by Young in trust. His friends will not entertain the notion that he ever abused that trust. There is no inventory of property or estate, and it is widely scattered. With the country prosperous again and full of money it would be worth twice the above valuation. Recently Brigham Young endured lands at Grove and H. Wells and John-W. Young, counsellors to the late Brigham Young, were present to take steps for the future management of the Mormon church. It was arranged that the quorum of apostles, as next in order to the President, should assume control of the church. The meeting was amicable and the arrangement proved satisfactory to all present, and doubtless will be so to Mormons generally.
John Taylor, the first of the apostles, is virtually the head of the Mormon Church. A committee was appointed to manage the financial affairs until October 6th, when the semi-annual church conference will be held and trustees elected. Two of the Twelve Apostles—Orson Pratt and Jos. F. Smith—are in Europe, but will return to Utah immediately.

Democratic Council Endorsing Hayes.
Augusta, Sept. 4.
The City Council of this place yesterday passed the following by a unanimous vote.
The Council is entirely Democratic:
Whereas, Since his inauguration as President of the United States R. B. Hayes has shown his intention to administer the great trust confided to his keeping in strict accordance with the Constitution and laws of his country; has endeavored to purify the Civil Service of the Government; has restored local self government to the South; has manifested a sincere desire to destroy sectional feeling, to heal the wounds of war and give peace to a portion of the Union so greatly in need of its blessings; and
Whereas, These things entitle him to the respect and approval of all good citizens, irrespective of party.
Resolved, That as a mark of the esteem in which we hold him, we, the Common Council of Augusta, extend to the President and such members of his Cabinet as may attend him, an invitation to visit Angusta during his Southern tour, and that we plodge him a cordial welcome on the part of all our citizens.

formerly Postmaster at Milford, Lasson county, committed suicide at that place by shooting himself through the right temple.
He was found twelve hours after the deed, lying on a bed in his own house with a revolver in his hand. Crill was addicted to drinking, and it is supposed that, in a fit of despondency, he shot himself.

The Placer Herald learns that Mrs. Bisett, an elderly lady residing on Rock Creek, who occasionally prospects among the hills, made a strike last week, and took out, up to last Saturday night, between $400 and $900. The deposit in all respects resembles the formation in Bell's bonanza mine, and it is more than likely she will realize a very handsome stake out of the strike.
It is stated that a Sonoma man has raised five cork trees which are now twenty-five to thirty feet in height, and from ten to twelve inches in diameter in the trunk. One cord of bark, 14 inches thick, has been stripped off. The tree resembles the live oak in foliage.
The settlers along Eel River, in Humboldt County, have the promise of a permanent gas supply without incurring the ordinary expense of generating that useful illuminating substance. The Eureka Times tells us that while engaged sinking an artesian well to supply the Messenger Mill, owned by Messrs. Lockwood & Dennis, at the depth of 120 feet, Captain Lowell struck a vein of gas which, on being ignited, sent a stream of light thirty-six feet into the air. It has been burning steadily several days in spite of wind and rain. Now, should this flow continue, it will be an easy matter to collect the gas in a reservoir, and through the medium of pipes, conduct it where it can be utilized.
