WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... MAY 24, 1879. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the places designated. They are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER..... ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE..... CON HOWE ORANGE..... N. D. HARWOOD TUFTIN..... C. TUSTIN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO..... R. EOAN NORWALK..... J. E. CALDWELL BILVERADO..... J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT..... A. T. PERDON Mr. Kiddle, the Superintendent of the New York schools, is in very hot water since the publication of his book, in which he purports to give communications from spirits of high and low degree. The clamor for his removal from the responsible position which he holds is general, and the probabilities are that he will be ousted. Had his book the merit of being readable, or had it in the most remote degree borne evidences of genuineness, it is possible that but little attention would have been given to it or its author. But it is filled with insufferable bosh from beginning to end—stuff which any school boy of average intelligence would blush to avow himself the author. Mr. Kiddle's brain must certainly be disordered, or he would never have given to the world such a mass of absurdities, under the pretense of their being communications from the spirit world. Some extracts from the book may not be devoid of interest. Shakespeare's first communication begins thus: Oh! the billows roll and the waters surge to be on the surface of your heart's understanding. The better you realize this fact the better and wiser you will be before the light of God's heaven dawns upon your sensa. After two long paragraphs of similar composition this communication closes as follows: Lead on eye brave! Victory must be your motto, or death will be your sorrowful struggle. So, farewell! I must to my palace of the gods, around the throne of the beautiful Sovereign. Another communication from Shakespeare on "The Future Life" is as follows: CALLED TO ACCOUNT. Legal Investigation of the Alleged Starvation Case. The publication in last Wednesday's Gazette of the article calling attention to the child which rumor says is dying for want of proper food, brought District Attorney Thom to Anabeim on Thursday evening. He says the people of Los Angeles are much exercised over the affair, and that upon his reading the article to the Grand Jury (which is now in session), and expressing a desire to come here and attend to the matter, they unanimously agreed to the proposition, and professed a willingness to adjourn until he could investigate the matter. With a promptness which does him honor, Mr. Thom drew up a complaint, charging the parents of the child with misdemeanor, under Section 270 of the Penal Code, which says: Every parent of any child who wilfully omits, without lawful excuse, to perform any duty imposed upon him by law, to furnish necessary food, clothing, shelter, or medical assistance for such child, is guilty of a misdemeanor. The complaint was made by Deputy Sheriff Ling. Stripped of some of its legal verbiage it reads as follows: The People of the State of California against George R. Hinde, Hanna Hinde and Louis Schlesinger. Personally appeared before me this 22d day of May, 1879, R. A. Ling of Los Angeles who, being first duly sworn, complains and says on information and belief, that defendants on the 15th of May did commit the crime of "omitting to provide a child with necessaries," committed as follows: The said G. R. Hinde and Hannah Hinde are the parents of a certain child under the age of one year, whose name is to defendant unknown; that said parents of the said infant child both have heretofore and each of them does now unlawfully and willfully omit, without lawful excuse, to do or perform the duties imposed upon them or each of them by law, as the parents of said infant child; and the said parents have unlawfully and willfully failed, omitted and refused, and still fail, omit and refuse to supply or furnish the said infant child with necessary or proper food. And affiant further says that one Louis Schlesinger, at the time and place aforesaid, did unlawfully and willfully stand by aid, abet, assist, advise and encourage the aforesaid parents in their omission to perform their duty towards said infant child, imposed upon them by law, and in their un- Political Justice At the Republican Presidency Saturday a small vote was made to get out the party. As there was been elected from this precinct didate for the position, nothing to call out a full Guinn was elected delecated cans of this precinct lost but a very small number by the new party.

The Democratic Central county met in Los Angeles adopted the following rules: Whereas The Execu tion of the Democratic State Council to assemble at the cisco on the 20th instant determining the advice the time of assembling Convention; therefore, Resolved That in this committee best interests of California require th e ing of the Democra cy should be postponed to 4th, 1879.

After two long paragraphs of similar composition this communication closes as follows: Lead on ye brave! Victory must be your motto; or death will be your sorrowful struggle. So, farewell! I must to my palace of the gods, around the throne of the beautiful Sovereign. Another communication from Shakespeare on "The Future Life" is as follows: Reincarnation, my kind Searers, you will never find, But in the line of fervency of mind. For the treasures of the earth Ase of heavenly birth; And, unless you repress the longings of flesh The pleasures of heaven will flow not to the breast; But within the depths of the basin of rest, You will find yourselves by a hand of dissension, Which, perhaps, you may call, in your heart's best intention, Incarceration, but not incarment. Shakespeare's poetical ability has decreased decidedly, as the following will show: O people of earth, If you knew the sad heart You cause your dear Father, Your eyes would be lifted To things far higher Believe me, I am The spirit of Shakespeare, Who writes through a child, Whose years will be longer And better than many Who know these things But find them rejected. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, "The poet, who seeks not to know it." Byron contributes, among other things, the following verses: Ah'long have I suffered! Transfixed with pain My spirit's agony met naught but disdain; But amid my tormentors' horrible leers, Lo'a heaviest light from the upper spheres My destiny upward and onward sealed; And unto my raptured eye was revealed A vision of hope. O beauteous and bright Was the glory of that celestial light! That you may sincerely accept this, I pray. With Amen! in the depths of your hearts, and say. O Father in Heaven! Thy will is my love! Be thy will done on earth as in Heaven above! English journals state that 1,000 bags of rice flour were recently destroyed by the authorities of Liverpool lest it should be sold for food. It was composed of 40 per cent. rice flour, and 60 per cent. marble dust. This is only another proof of the allegement that adulteration is carried to an unprecedented extent in England. It is also true that the quality of manufactured articles has deteriorated so much within the past fifteen years that those of other countries are driving them from the markets formerly controlled almost entirely by English makers. The desire to become suddenly rich seems to have completely upset the discretion and solid judgment that were once such marked characteristics of the British people. The artesian well on the Norris Grant, Sacramento county, work upon which was prosecuted for so long a time and until a depth of 2,147 feet was reached, got into such a fix about two months ago that nothing further could be done without incurring very heavy expense. Work was accordingly suspended, and recently it was determined to abandon the well. Mr. Pierce, the engineer in charge, has 'taken up something over 700 feet of the casing, and the boiler, engine and boring apparatus will in a day or two be en A Cut-and-Dried Programme. The history of the Constitutional party movement in Los Angeles is given in an address by the Workingmen's County Central Committee. They say: Previous to the late election the friends of the new Constitution organized a committee of twenty-five members, to conduct the campaign in co-operation with existing parties. Some unfinished business remaining upon the records of the said committee, the Chairman, Hon. H. K. S. O'Melveny, called a meeting of the said committee at his office, to dispose of any such unfinished business and then to take its discharge. Thus far the programme was faithfully carried out; but as the members were about to leave the chamber, the ex-Chairman called the company to order, and in a brief address declared that the Constitutional party was a fixed fact, and called upon the gentlemen present to organize the party in Los Angeles city. Resolutions already prepared for the occasion were then read by the Hon. ex-Chairman which were to constitute the platform of the new party. At this point the meeting took organic form by the election of J. J. Warner as Chairman, and some discussion was had upon the expediency, pro., and con., of the measure. The members of the Workingmen's party present (speaking by permission) opposed it on various grounds set forth in the resolutions hereunto appended, while one of the other gentlemen present, Mr. Gephard, based his opposition on the ground that the proceeding was not an expression of public sentiment, but the work of a few individuals present and giving it their advocacy. At this point part of the meeting withdrew, leaving present only two members of the original committee. The remaining members then proceeded to erect themselves into the Constitutional party of Los Angeles county. All told, this party consists of five (5) members, to wit: H. K. S. O'Melveny, lawyer; H. C. Austin, lawyer and speculator; J. J. Warner, Notary Public and Commissioner; Capt. Wm. Smith, contractor; M. H. Kimball, capitalist. The same committee have adopted the following: Resolved, That the Workingmen's party, by and with the aid of the farmers of Los Angeles county, have already taken proper one year whose name is to determine unknown; that said parents of the said infant child both have heretofore and each of them does now unlawfully and willfully omit, without lawful excuse, to do or perform the duties imposed upon them or each of them by law, as the parents of said infant child; and the said parents have unlawfully and willfully failed, omitted and refused, and still fail, omit and refuse to supply or furnish the said infant child with necessary or proper food. And affiant further says that one Louis Schlesinger, at the time and place aforesaid did unlawfully and willfully stand by, aid, abet, assist, advise and encourage the aforesaid parents in their omission to perform their duty towards infant child, imposed upon them by law, and in their unlawful and willful omission to furnish necessary or proper food for their said infant child. The defendants were arrested on Thursday evening and taken before Justice Bailey. He held them in the sum of $500 each to appear for trial in his Court this morning at 9 o'clock. In the meantime the child is under the care of Mrs. Ellis, and is receiving proper treatment. District Attorney Thom will prosecute the case, and the defense will be conducted by Dr. Schlesinger in person. A cut-and-dried Programme.

Herald: Harmon apparent amongst thie Democrats than now boththe promoters new Constitution should be given The artesian well on the Norris Grant, Sacramento county, work upon which was prosecuted for so long a time and until a depth of 2,147 feet was reached, got into such a fix about two months ago that nothing further could be done without incurring very heavy expense. Work was accordingly suspended, and recently it was determined to abandon the well. Mr. Pierce, the engineer in charge, has taken up something over 700 feet of the casing, and the boiler, engine and boring apparatus will in a day or two be en route for Haggin & Tevis' immense ranch in Kern county, about 30 miles from Bakersfield, where a large number of wells are to be bored. The well known San Francisco politician, Jim Gannon, told a carpenter named Hussey that if the new Constitution was adopted he would pay him $2.50 per day for carrying a brick from one side of Clay Street to the other. Hussey had been complaining that he could not get work. On Sunday, he notified Gannon that he was prepared to perform the service required of him, and on Monday he began work. It would appear at first thought that the task was an easy one, but such is not the case. The distance from one corner of Clay Street to the other is sixty feet. During his first days walk Hussey covered 24 18-33 miles, a wearing task to any but a professional athlete. It is a pity that all this energy is not applied to a better purpose. Commenting on the present depression in all kinds of business, the Bulletin says: It is said that two removals are equal to a fire, and two political campaigns are probably equally bad in their effect on general business. There is no doubt about the unfavorable influence of the recent campaign on our material progress. It was a great deal worse than an ordinary election. Somehow or other, wisely or not, business men believed that the adoption of the new Constitution would be a bad omen, and it did have a restraining effect on all trade and financial operations. Now that it has been adopted, the fear with capitalists, manufacturers and traders is that unseruptuous man will be elected to make laws carrying out the extreme and obnoxious features of the new instrument. One woe is past, but it is the evil anticipated that now excites fear. SANTA ROSA, May 21st.—Mrs. John Ashcraft was found wounded and in a barn on her ranch, in Rincon Valley, this morning. She had been cut with a hatchet some six or seven times, and is in a precarious condition. Her husband, John Ashcraft, is suspected to be the perpetrator of the outrage, as a suit for divorce is pending in the District Court here. He was seen to enter the barn a short time before she was found injured, and afterwards was seen to run for the hills. A large party of men searched the neighborhood, and about 10 o'clock he was found and arrested by a man named Hawkins, and turned over to constable Rupe, who brought him to the jail privately. He was discovered just before he got to the jail, and the crowd made a rush for him and shouted "hang him." He was protected by Constable Rupe, Sheriff Bond and Major Louks, and locked up. The excitement is intense. NEW YORK, May 19.—Subscriptions were opened Saturday to the stock of a Company to be formed to lay a submarine cable from the Pacific Coast to the Hawaiian Islands and Japan. One capitalist headed the list with a subscription of $100,000. A subscription of $1,000,000 is expected from the Hawaiian Government. At this point part of the meeting withdrew, leaving present only two members of the original committee. The remaining members then proceeded to erect themselves into the Constitutional party of Los Angeles county. All told, this party consists of five (5) members, to wit: H. K. S. O'Melveny, lawyer; H. C. Austin, lawyer and speculator; J. J. Warner, Notary Public and Commissioner; Capt. Wm. Smith, contractor; M. H. Kimball, capitalist. The same committee have adopted the following: Resolved That the Workingmen's party, by and with the aid of the farmers of Los Angeles county, have already taken proper and ample measures to secure to the people the fruits of our recent victory. Resolved That the farmers throughout the county be and they are hereby requested to keep themselves aloof from the last movement sought to be foisted upon them as a political measure, and remain true to their coalition with the Workingmen, which combination is amply capable of protecting their mutual interests and of preserving the consitutional rights of the whole people.

At the Republican Primaries in Anabeim Saturday a small vote was polled. No effort was made to get out the full strength of the party. As there was but one delegate to be elected from this precinct, and last one candidate for the position, of course there was nothing to call out a full vote. Prof. J. M. Guinn was elected delegate. The Republicans of this precinct claim that they have lost but a very small percentage of their number by the new party movements. The delegates from Los Angeles county to the Republican State Convention, to be held at Sacramento on the 17th prox., are as follows: A. E. Carrillo, J. C. Roley, J. G. Eastman, Gen. J. Mansfield, Geo. K. Gard, B. C. Whiting, J. M. Guinn, Con Howe, J. H. Moesser, A. B. Clark, Gen. P. Banning, D. E. Adams, O. H. Congar, P. C. Tonner. The Democratic Central Committee of this county met in Los Angeles on Saturday and adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, The Executive Committee of the Democratic State Central Committee of California has called a meeting of said committee to assemble at the city of San Francisco on the 20th instant, for the purpose of determining the advisability of postponing the time of assembling the Democratic State Convention; therefore, be it Resolved, That in the opinion of this committee the best interests of the Democracy of California require that the time of meeting of the Democratic State Convention should be postponed until on or about July 4th, 1879. Resolved, That the Secretary of this committee be and is hereby instructed to forthwith transmit to the Democratic State Central Committee a copy of these resolutions. On motion of Mr. Ling, Messrs. Ling, Shorb and White were appointed a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of this committee regarding the policy of the Democracy with reference to the new Constitution. These gentlemen submitted the following report, which was adopted as the unanimous sense of the Central Committee: Whereas, The people of the State of California have ratified the new Constitution lately submitted to them; and Whereas, The Democratic party has always declared it to be the province of those holding the reins of government to administer the duties of the trusts in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Constitution from which they derive their authority and power. The W. P. C. and the H.W.'s. At the sand-lets on Sunday Denis Kearney made the following speech: Fellow Workingmen and Women: The Chronicle had a meeting Saturday; it was a "New Constitution Party" meeting. [Laughter.] Who did they represent? They represented themselves, and nobody else. There was not one of them fit for a Workingman to vote for for Poundkeeper. [Laughter.] The qualifications required to attend that meeting were a tall hat and a high collar. In addition to "Honorable Bilks," we must now call the New Constitution Party the "Plug-Hat Brigade." [Cheers and Laughter.] I have no fault to find with a plug hat; I wore one once myself. But it is the clothes that makes the members of the New Constitution Party. One of them says to the Workingmen, "Haven't we given you respectability?" The idea of a few jackaas lawyers giving the Workingmen's Party of California respectability! [Laughter.] If our respectability comes from such "honorable Bilks" as compose the "Plug-Hat Brigade," the sooner the W.P.C. disbanda the better. Ours is a party that puts principles ahead, and will sweep the State of California and the United States. [Cheers.] It therefore becomes our duty to place our fect on the action of these men who are selling out the Workingmen's Party to its enemies. Will you allow yourselves to be captured by the Chronicle? ["Never."] The Chronicle has been lying. [Voices in the crowd—"I believe it;" "It always lied."] The Chronicle did some work for us; but what is the good of a cow that gives a pail of milk and kicks it over? [Cheers and laughter.] I do not thank the Chronicle for what it did. The men who voted for the new Constitution did so for their own interests. Stop this thanking business. Pay no attention to the New Constitution Party, composed of crawling creatures of society. As a party, we must win. Better die in honorable fight than coalesce with the Honorable Bilks of the Plug-Hat Brigade. [Cheers.] Pay no attention to the contemptible bummers of the old Bourbon Democracy that are now crawling out to heat up in the warm sunshine of our party. [Cheers.] Make this State the model republic of the civilized world. Where were these Honorable Bilks two years ago when we were struggling for existence, fighting against corruption? They were trying to get me into the State Prison. ["They were!"] De Young said that I would not be heard after the 7th of May. I tell him that in the next two years he'll find me the liveliest corpse he ever met in his life. I defy him to interfere with me as a reforger before the people. My countrymen know me. They have watched my career, and know that I never went outside of the track for a horrible tragedy occurred near Antioch on last Friday morning. A man named Langbhem, his wife and two children arrived recently from Germany and settled on a farm five miles from Anbioch. The details of the tragedy are as follows: At about eight o'clock Langbhem was seen by Max Klein, a neighbor who was at the time cutting potatoes in his barn a few rods from the Langbhem residence, to tie the absoleace of the little girl. He was then seen to take two children to the adjacent tules. Soon after he was observed coming out of the tules without the children, and walking rapidly toward his house. Immediately after he reached it, Mrs. Langbhem rushed out in an excited state, throwing up her hands in despair and talking excitedly in German. This was followed quickly by the discharge of a gun. The neighbors naturally enough rushed to the scene. A Mr. Fleekaman, a next door neighbor to the Langbhems, reached the house first, and entering it, he behold a horrible sight. Langbhem was leaning against the wall almost doubled up, and dead, a double-barrel shotgun grasped firmly in his hands and his toe against the trigger. The charge had passed into the unfortunate man's head and spattered his brains all over the room. After partly recovering from the shock a search was begun for the children, who were missing. About an hour later they were found by a Portuguese gardener lying dead, side by side, in the tuile, not far from where Langbheim had been seen to emerge. The little girl's skull had been smashed with a heavy blunt instrument, and her throat cut from ear to ear, severing the jugular vein, and a piece of flesh had been cut out of one of her hands. The boy's body bore no mark of violence, excepting that his head was nearly severed from the trunk. Near the bodies was found the apron worn by Langbhem at the time he slaughtered his children, and a heavy bludgeon, with which it is supposed he beat in the skull of his little daughter. Both articles were covered with blood. The throats of the little ones are supposed to have been cut with a scythe blade or some similar instrument, as in each case the frightful wound had been inflicted with one blow. The jury found a verdict that the children came to their death at the hands of their father, and that he committed suicide while laboring under a fit of insanity. The following is the kind of locals occasionally met with in the San Diego News: Won't pay up — We are requested to say that a young gentleman boarding not far from our office (and who is in the meat business), won't pay his board bill. This, it is hoped, will bring him to time. Shorb and White were appointed a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of this committee regarding the policy of the Democracy with reference to the new Constitution. These gentlemen submitted the following report, which was adopted as the unanimous sense of the Central Committee: Whereas, The people of the State of California have ratified the new Constitution lately submitted to them; and Whereas, The Democratic party has always declared it to be the province of those holding the reins of government to administer the duties of the trusts in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Constitution from which they derive their authority; and Whereas, The Democratic party is the only political organization which has uniformly respected Constitutional mandates and held the guaranties thereby given to the people to be sacred and binding; therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of the Democratic County Central Committee of Los Angeles county that each and every provision of the new Constitution should be fully carried out in compliance with the true intent and meaning thereof; that any attempt to evade its provisions and to thus defeat the will of the people of this State would be contrary to the spirit of our institutions, subversive of popular government and should be at once stilled and defeated. There being no further business before the Committee, Mr. White moved the adoption of the following: Whereas, This meeting has convened for the purpose, among others, of providing for the selection of delegates to the Democratic State Convention, called to assemble at Sacramento on May 27th, 1879; and Whereas, It seems probable that the time of assembling of said Convention will be changed until a much later date; therefore, be it Resolved, That this Committee does now adjourn, subject to the call of the Chairman. The Los Angeles Republican Club, at the meeting on Friday evening, adopted the following: In the election which has just resulted in the triumph of the new Constitution, every Republican voted according to his own best judgment of the merits and demerits of the new and untried instrument, without party dictation or without party suggestion. Since its adoption by a strictly legal method, however, every Republican in this State, as a law-abiding, liberty-loving and law-executing citizen, will acknowledge it as the supreme fundamental law of the State and accord to it his most hearty concurrence and support. It should be executed both in the framing of laws under it and in their enforcement in the Courts, in the broadest and fullest interpretation in letter and spirit. As Republicans we pledge our influence to the selection of our very best men to frame and execute laws in accordance therewith. A correspondent of the Express indulges in the following pleasantry: We need such men as the following, if I may be allowed to suggest a few names to fill some of our offices: J. J. Ayres, for Governor; Volney E. Howard, for the Supreme Bench, or for Railroad Commissioner; such men as West and Evey for the Legislature, and for Congress a man who comprehends the evils of the Chinese question as well as the financial difficulties which beset the country. Add 50 such men as Mr. P. W. Dooner for the Superior Judgeship and Victor Montgomery, of Anaheim, for District Attorney. Herald: Harmony has never been more apparent amongst the mass of Los Angeles Democrats than now. The sentiment among both the promoters and opponents of the new Constitution is that the fairest trial should be given to that instrument and the Plug-Hat Brigade. [Cheera.] Pay no attention to the contemptible bummers of the old Bourbon Democracy that are now crawling out to heat up in the warm sunshine of our party. [Cheers.] Make this State republic of the civilized world. Where were these Honorable Bilks two years ago when we were struggling for existence, fighting against corruption? They were trying to get me into the Stato Prison. ["They were!"] De Young said that I would not be heard of after the 7th of May. I tell him that in the next two years he'll find me the liveliest corpse he ever met in his life. I defy him to interfere with me as a reformer before the people. My countrymen know me. They have watched my career, and know that I never went outside of the track for the guidance and benefit of the Working-men's party. [Cheers.] I've been a friend of the Chronicle. I've done more to advance its interests than any other man in the State; but as soon as it finds that it can't use me wants to kill me. Because it has been successful in laying a few rotten, corrupt, thiviving politicians on the shelf, it thinks it can lay an honest man on the shelf. I defy them to interfere with me, and will continue to defy them. If the success of our party depends on a newspaper, it ought to die. Newspapers are mere private enterprises to furnish news. I pay sixty cents a month to the Chronicle, for news, but if it gives me lies I'll drop it and give my sixty cents to another. The men who cheered for the Chronicle will hoot it in a few days. ["Yes"] We are their masters. They can't live without us. We support all enterprises. When a band of Honorable Bummers, political thieves, water rats railroad robbers and midnight assassins tell what is right, my duty as an agitator is to denounce the infernal scalawags and blatant blatherskites. I am responsible for the term "Honorable Bilks." I invented it. Don't you forget it ["Good," laughter and cheers.] We are to have a procession to morrow night. We must set ourselves on record. Then I will go into the interior, among the farmers and other workingmen. A man who is afraid to say that he is a Workingman ought to be caged at Woodwari's Gardens and exhibited at seventy-five cents. It was advertised that there would be no meeting-to-day, but here you are. This is a small meeting, but if one of the "Honorable Bilks" should address it, it would appear so big that his head would puff wide open, and he would want to be President of the United States. [Laughter.] Come to the sand-lot next Sunday, and hear me discuss the "Honorable Bilks" by name. Hear me discourse to you about the "unity" between the "Plug-Hat Brigade" and the "unthinking majority." [Laughter.] What does the Workingman's party want to do with these Honorable Bilks? These fossilized bilks of a by-gone age, that have grown moldy by robbing the people, and their reputations and characters stink in our nostrils? We have no room for any Plug-Hat Brigade or Honorable Bilks in our party. If I thought one of them was going to vote for it, I'd almost condemn it. Laughter.] The Honorable Bilks helped to defeat us in this city. I know their record well. They don't want reform. They want fat offices, champagne suppers, and a good time for themselves; but misery, poverty and degradation for you mutton-heads and mudsills. Next Sunday I will give their names and what they are in their own counties, and their records. We don't want them. We came near carrying the State when we had organizations in only fourteen counties, and now we are organized in forty-two counties. [Cheers.] The Working-men's party is the party of the future. Its doctrines will spread far and wide, and bring relief to the labor of the world.[Cheers.]] Ex-Delegate Klein followed Kearney in a spirited address, in which he scored H.B. unmercifully. General Secretary Moore posed he beat in the skull of his little daughter. Both articles were covered with blood. The throats of the little ones are supposed to have been cut with a scythe blade or some similar instrument, as in each case the frightful wound had been inflicted with one blow. The jury found a verdict that the children came to their death at the hands of their father, and that he committed suicide while laboring under a fit of insanity. The following is the kind of locals occasionally met with in San Diego News: Won't pay up.-We are requested to say that a young gentleman boarding not far from our office (and who is in the meat business), won't pay his board bill. This, it is hoped, will bring him to time. G.F.Maynard, Auditor of San Francisco, committed suicide at Mokelumne Hill on Friday last, by stabbing himself. Deceased had been subjected to great mental strain recently by his official duties, and his mind was temporarily unhinged when he committed rash act. His accounts with the city were straight, and his reputation was unsuilied. Wallace Wilkerson was shot to death in jail-yard at Provo City, Utah, on last Friday, for the murder of William Baxter at Homansville on the 11th of June. Charles M.Peck, book-keeper for the drug firm of Redington & Co., San Francisco, has absconded, and his accounts show that he is an embezzler to the amount of about $7000. He dealt in stocks. The New York Legislature has passed a bill making six per cent. the legal rate of interest in that State. —One of the women who were run over last September near Rubio's station by the Santa Ana train died Friday night of disease resulting from her injuries on that occasion.

The sentiment among both the promoters and opponents of the new Constitution is that the fairest trial should be given to that instrument and the will of the majority in the late election should be loyally carried out at all hazards. Colton Semi-Tropic: If any of you fellows want to bet on a dead thing just put up your money on the Democratic party; that's the deadest thing we know of. The Democrats of San Bernardino county have chosen Messrs. Conn, Satterwhite, Isaac, Paris and Wood, as delegates to the State Democratic and Congressional Convention. The telegraph brings the following particulars of the death of William Henry, formerly a resident of Anaheim: SAN JOSE, May 19.—On the way home from the picnic of the Sarsfield Guard yesterday, a man named William Henry fell or was thrown between the cars, it is not known which, when near Alviso, and was crushed to death by the wheels of the train. Papers found on him indicate that he has a sister in Anaheim named Catherine Henry; and a brother named Alexander Henry at Los Angeles. Deceased is about forty years of age. His left arm is nearly severed and his head scalped by the wheels, and he was otherwise mangled. NEW YORK, May 21st—The Russian Consul-General has received a communication signed "The Russian Revolutionary Committee," declaring that he "has uttered certain slanderous insinuations and base falsehoods in New York society against one of our most honored and trusted friends," and warning him that he has "made himself particularly obnoxious to our order by transferring to this soil the contemptible system of Romanoff espionage, and that should he persist in his infamous conduct, the consequences will certainly be disastrous to him." He believes that an organization of revolutionists exists here, and says he is in no hurry to receive warning number two. DENVER, Col., May 19.—At one o'clock this afternoon the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad reached the Kenosha Summit with the track, and at half past three p.m. the first passenger train had reached the Summit, 10,140 feet above the sea level—the highest yet reached by any railroad in America. All the difficulties in the way are now overcome, and track laying will continue at the rate of a mile a day until the road reaches Leadville. Passengers leaving Leadville in the morning now arrive in Denver before midnight the same day. NEW YORK, May 16.—Professor Dwight, of Columbia College, in his address to the class of law graduates, said: The new code of California has been checkmated by a codified Constitution—a sort of Noah's ark, with all sorts of creeping things and slimy creatures, and without any Noah to take charge. Here you are plunged into this chaos, and the question is, "How will you come out of it?" Rome, May 19.—The Chamber of Deputies passed the bill making the performance of civil marriages before the religious ceremony obligatory. PENTEK, May 19.—The river Theis has inundated ninety square miles of grain fields near Beose Becno, and destroyed two villages. The river Drane overflowed its banks, and destroyed hundreds of houses.
