CHARLES WILLE, The alarm of fire about 9 o'clock on Sunday night was caused by the burning of some brush and weeds in the west end of town. The regular quarterly examination of applicants for teachers' certificates will take place in Los Angeles on June 25, 26 and 27. The time for collecting school taxes has been postponed until next Thursday. Tax payers will save costs by making payment before that day. Mrs. J. B. Toombes, of our vicinity, left Los Angeles last week with Chas. E. Day's excursion party, for an absence of several months with her friends in Pittsburgh, Pa. We solicit the patronage of those who require anything in the job printing line. We have hundreds of dollars invested in job printing material, and our facilities are such that we can afford to do every kind of printing at the shortest notice and lowest prices. In the District Court on Saturday the following proceedings were heard: Bank of Anaheim vs Geo. C. Knox—Demurrer submitted; ten days to file points. S. A. Sheffield vs Hotel and Building Association—Ten days further time granted to answer. Read the new advertisement of Messrs. D. & G. D. Plato. They enumerate some of the reductions they have made, but the full story can only be told by a visit to their store and a personal inspection of the bargains there offered. Mr. J. Yoch, of St. Louis, arrived in Anaheim on Saturday night. Mr. Yoch is largely interested in the Black Star Coal Mine. Considerable coal has been shipped from this mine lately. Four carloids will be forwarded to Los Angeles this week. The agency in Los Angeles has been placed with J. C. Salisbury. The programme of the Fourth of July celebration in Anaheim is published this morning. It will be seen that the day will be celebrated in regular orthodox fashion, and it is to be hoped that not only all Anaheim, but also all the southern part of the county will be present at the gardens and help to do honor to the day. We are indebted to Mr. Strong, of Westminster, for some of his early peaches, which we found to be thoroughly ripe and of excellent flavor. The probabilities are that in a future communication Mr. Strong will impart the secret of how to have ripe peaches by the 1st of June. The explanation is very simple, and, as is said of all simple processes, it is a wonder no one thought of it before. The circular of Spear, Meade & Co., Commission Merchants of San Francisco, has the following paragraph: Los Angeles Co.'s reports are that the coming orange crop will be very short, and walnuts almost a failure.

A civil engineer of twenty years' experience, who is this organized in the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits, desires to form a permanent connection with some individual company or estate having lands in the borough part of the town, which it is desired to subdivide, irrigate and manage. Land would be taken in part payments for services rendered, and but a suitable quantity demanded, as the chief subject of the advertising is to secure a home. Address: G. R. O., at the office of Ohio paper. The circular of Spear, Meade & Co., Commission Merchants of San Francisco, has the following paragraph: Los Angeles Co. reports are that the coming orange crop will be very short, and walnuts almost a failure. This county, which has always been considered the home of the Orange and other tropical fruits, is rapidly coming into prominence as a producer of the Northern fruits. The apple, peach, pear and apricot crops there are reported large—and at Westminster, the Briggs "Red May" peaches were ready for market June 4th. The apples grown in this section are very fine, and will find their way to this market the coming season. The San Francisco Call of the 15th has the following: "That California is a great fruit-growing State and that it will soon rival, if not wholly eclipse the most famous fruit regions of the world, is demonstrated year after year. D. C. Hayward of Los Angeles, has shipped to this city a magnificent consignment of California lemons from Lisbon seed. They are bright in color, shapely, very firm, juicy and are the equal of the very best Sicily lemons. As an illustration of their adaptability for preservation, it may be said that on January last, Mr. Hayward put aside a box of them, and on opening it last week found them as bright, sound and fresh as when picked. Mr. Sullivan claims to have grafted the nectarine on the almond with apparent success. If they continue to grow well and bear well, there will be no deed of digging up the almond orchards, as many are now doing. Farmers had better investigate a little before throwing away the labor of years. There is no finer fruit raised than the nectarine, and there is no danger of glutting the market with them, as they are much prized in the East where they cannot be successfully grown. Santa Barbara Press. The Anaheim Press Band will give a social dance at the Tivoli Garden, Anaheim, Sunday June 22d, between the hours of 2 and 7 P.M. A general invitation is extended to the public, and every effort will be made by the members of the Band to please their guests. Admission, 25 cents. WEEKLY EIM GAZ ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1879. POLITICAL JOTTINGS. Notes on the Coming Struggle in the State and County. The Anaheim Democratic Club met in Deputy Sheriff Barham's office on last Saturday night. A constitution and by-laws were adopted, and the members of the club, twenty-five in number, subscribed to the same. The matter of appointing delegates to the State Convention was left to the discretion of Mr. Barham, the county committeeman from this district. The Democratic Club of Anaheim Township met on Saturday evening, as per call advertised in the Gazette. Four new members joined. The following resolutions we adopted: Whereas, It is a political axiom of true Democracy that the will of the majority shall be the supreme law of the people, and Whereas, This will has been expressed at the recent election, and having been so expressed, there can now be no difference of opinion between honest Democrats relative to the matter then at issue, and Whereas, It is a recognized fact in all politics that to the friends of a successful measure shall its future operations be entrusted, therefore be it. Resolved, That the nominees of the Democracy for the Governorship, for the Supreme Judiciary and the Legislature shall be men recognized and known as advocates of the New Constitution before its adoption. Resolved, That it is the duty of every Democrat, regardless of past non-political differences, to co-operate with his party in eliminating therefrom machine politicians and political hacks and in placing in the upper places its best and merest adherents, and Opposed to centralization; opposed to corrupt rings; opposed to public thisvery; opposed to subsidy—in fact, its principles are the principles set forth by all the Democratic teachers of the best ways of the Republic. It has placed a tithe in the field which is Democratic throughout." The pledge which the Workingmen's Congressional candidates have taken is to the effect that they will not go into any Republican or Democratic caucus, and that they will not, as Congressmen, vote for any Presidential candidate unless instructed by the W. P. C. to do so. Commenting on this extraordinary pledge, the Downey Courier asks: "Can any Democrat, desiring to preserve the supremacy of his party in Congress, vote for Mr. Ayes, in the face of the above explicit and binding pledge? We think not." The card of Hon. Y. Sepulveda, announcing himself as a candidate for the office of Superior Judge, is in our advertising columns. As near as we can learn, the sentiment of the people is averse to making party nominations for the Judiciary—a wise and judicious resolve. The Merced Argue says: "Many Republicans are urging H. J. Ostrander, of this place, as a candidate for Railroad Commissioner. Mr. Ostrander is a gentleman who for integrity and honesty is unimpeachable, and who is thoroughly reliable. He is one of the oldest Republicans in the county, and has never been an office-seeker. If the people desire to elect an incorruptible Commissioner, it will be hard for them to find a expressed, there can now be no difference of opinion between honest Democrats relative to the matter then at issue, and WHEREAS, It is a recognized fact in all politics that to the friends of a successful measure shall its future operations be entrusted, therefore be it Resolved, That the nominees of the Democracy for the Governorship, for the Supreme Judiciary and the Legislature shall be men recognized and known as advocates of the New Constitution before its adoption. Resolved, That it is the duty of every Democrat, regardless of past non-political differences, to co-operate with his party in eliminating therefrom machine politicians and political hacks and in placing in the upper places its best and purest adherents, and WHEREAS, Such co-operation cannot be accomplished by any coalition with individual Republicans; the Republican party, individually and collectively, being fully in sympathy with the great corporations, organizations called into being by the exigencies of the party in its infancy, and parasitically dependent upon it for their mature existence, and the said Republican party further being fully committed by the official action of its acknowledged head to the continued and increased introduction of the Chinese on the Pacific Coast, and the said Republican party further through its chief and subordinate leaders at Washington firmly maintained the proposition that the army was merely a semi-political machine for the use of the Republican party in its retention of political supremacy, and WHEREAS, The coming Legislative election is of extraordinary political significance by reason of the election for U. S. Senator depending upon it, therefore be it further Resolved, That every honest and conscientious Democrat should at once fall into line and, whilst maintaining in the party against all opponents the inviolability of the two fundamental principles of the party first mentioned, at stand shoulder to shoulder to resist the enemy, the party of centralization, of consolidation, and the creator of corporations. On motion, it was resolved that a copy of these resolutions be furnished the Anaheim Gazette and Los Angeles Herald for publication. A. W. STEINHART, Secretary. The name of A. G. Cook, Esq., of Garden Grove, will be presented before the Republican County Convention as a candidate for the Assembly. Mr. Cook is a graduate of the Ohio State and Union Law College. He held the position of Probate Judge at Boise City, Idaho Territory, and was also District Attorney at the same place. He was also appointed Prosecuting Attorney for the National Government in Washington Territory, and held the position for two terms. Besides this, he was entrusted with several special commissions for the Government. In 1872 he moved from Washington Territory to this county and purchased a tract of land at Garden Grove, where he has resided nearly all the time since. It will be seen from this short sketch that Mr. Cook has the learning ability and experience to make a legislator who would do honor to his constituency. The funniest thing in connection with the general scramble for office is the candidacy of Rodney Hudson, of Napa county, for the Superior Judgeship. A local paper says he "promises soon to be as prominent in that county as he was in Los Angeles." The Merced Argue says: "Many Republicans are urging H. J. Ostrander, of this place, as a candidate for Railroad Commissioner. Mr. Ostrander is a gentleman who for integrity and honesty is unimpeachable, and who is thoroughly reliable. He is one of the oldest Republicans in the county, and has never been an office-seeker. If the people desire to elect an incorruptible Commissioner, it will be hard for them to find a more suitable man to fill the place than H. J. Ostrander." Since the above was published, a mass meeting of Republicans in Merced has endorsed Mr. Ostrander for the position of Railroad Commissioner. Douglas Gunn, editor of the San Diego Union, will be pressed for Railway Commissioner or member of the State Board of Equalization on the Republican ticket. Last Saturday evening the following officers were elected by the Downey Democratic Club for the ensuing two months: President, E. M. Sanford; Vice-Presidents, C. S. Levy, C. M. Benbrook; Secretary, Thos. A. Fagan; Corresponding Secretary, W. W. Allen; Treasurer, John Fuller; Sergeant-at-Arms, C. C. Holcomb. The Workingmen's Convention; which was to meet on June 28th, has been postponed until Monday, the 30th, as each school district elects a trustee on the day first named. The test required at the primaries is: Did you vote for the new Constitution? E. M. Roes Esq., of Los Angeles, is named as a possible candidate for a place on the Supreme Bench. The present Republican Public Administrator, C. C. Lamb, is a candidate for re-election. The Oakland Times thinks that Evans and Perkins will kill each other off, and Horace Davis will walk off with the Gubernatorial prize. Mr Beerstecher has received the Workingmen's nomination for Railroad Commissioner from the First District. W. C. Hoagland is the nominee of the same party for the State Board of Equalization. The County Central Committee of the Workingmen's party call upon the Farmers and Workingmen of the different precincts of this county to send a delegation to a County Convention to be held in Downey Hall, on Monday, the 30th inst. The following is THE APPORTIONMENT OF DELEGATES: Anaheim.....6 Anza.....1 Cahuenga.....1 Cienega.....1 Compton.....2 Duarte.....1 El Mente.....1 Elizabeth Lake.....1 Florence.....1 Fountain Valley.....1 Garden Grove.....1 Los Nietos.....1 La Ballona.....2 The Mormon Question. New York, June 14.-A Sun Washington special says: At the Cabinet meeting today, the whole Mormon question came up for discussion, and while no formal action was taken, yet the policy and position of the Administration was clearly indicated. The subject came up in connection with a petition for Reynolds' pardon. His petition was accompanied by a letter from Delegate Cannon addressed to the "de-facto" President. Cannon says the case of Reynolds was a feet case set up by the Mormons themselves to test the constitutionality of the anti-polygamy laws. Reynolds himself was a volunteer defendant put forward to represent the Mormon people. Cannon thought that owing to the peculiar condition of facts, Reynolds representing the people, should be pardoned. Devens was of the opinion that, as Reynolds had employed every known means to break down the prosecution and to put the Government to expense in securing his ultimate conviction, he should suffer the full penalty of the law as embodied in his sentence. Schurz and McCrary warmly approved this view, while Sherman and Evarts were kind a ladder bow and wrist property sir.

A local paper says he "promises soon to be as prominent in that county as he was in Los Angeles." The Republican nomination for the office of Sheriff is said to be sought after by C. C. Lips, of Los Angeles, a prominent man in his party, and a popular one with all classes. George E. Gard, Deputy County Recorder, is also said to be seeking the Republican nomination. He would make a good Sheriff. Montgomery Tyler, of El Monte, is said to want the nomination of the N. C. party for the Shrievalty. A. M. Bragg and Capt. P. M. Darcy are candidates for the Workingmen's nomination, and T. E. Rowan for the Democratic. Mr. Geo. H. Peck, of El Monte, is in the field for the office of County Superintendent of Schools, but his card does not say from which party he desires a nomination. The Workingmen's candidate for the nomination is A. C. Niles. Although his present occupation is a dealer in thoroughbred poultry and Burkahire pigs, Mr. Niles is vowed for as an accomplished and competent teacher. Justice Craig, of Westminster, according to our Garden Grove correspondent, is a candidate for County Tax Collector, subject to the action of the N. C. party. A Downey paper credits him with aspiring to the office of Recorder. Should he be nominated for the latter office, his opponent on the Workingmen's ticket will probably be S. A. Waldron, and on the Democratic ticket the present Recorder, C. E. Miller. The Los Angeles Express, the editor of which is the candidate of the W. K. C. for Congress, advises the Democrats to fuse with the Workingmen. It states that "The Workingmen's party is mainly composed of old Democrats." Its principle new theme of the real Democracy. It is opposed to monopolies. The publication of an article in the Call of Sunday last, to the effect that an opposition line of steamships was to be started on this coast, has created considerable excitement in commercial circles. An officer of one of the Oregon Steamship Company asserted yesterday that no much evidence was given to the report in question; that several shipments in the city were holding back their freight in order to avail themselves of the reduced rates which would be charged in case an opposition war to be started at an early day or contemplated if the steamships Saratoga and Rio Grande have in reality been paralyzed for that purpose. No politically correct that there may any truth in the report. A representative of the Civilian General War Museum suggests that there may any truth in the report. All the gentlemen called upon them that something must happen time been decided upon. The tension would not one of them thought prove a profitable one—S. F. Call, June 11. Reynolds himself was a volunteer defendant put forward to represent the Mormon people. Cannon thought that ewing to the peculiar condition of facts, Reynolda, representing the people, should be pardoned. Devens was of the opinion that, as Reynolds had employed every known means to break down the prosecution and to put the Government to expense in securing his ultimate conviction, he should suffer the full penalty of the law as embodied in his sentence. Schurz and McCrazy warmly approved this view, while Sherman and Evarts were in favor of elemeny. Key and Thompson took no part in the discussion. Key favors pardon, but Thompson inclines the other way. The general policy of the Administration was also considered. Hayes desires to uproot the institution of polygamy, and, as indicated in his talk to-day, will do all he can to accomplish that object. New York, June 14.-Charles S. Sargent raises a warning voice in the American Journal of Science against the wanton destruction of pine forests in Nevada. He says: "The forests of Nevada, consisting of a law species adapted to struggle with adverse conditions of soil and climate, are immense, and reach maturity only after centuries of exceedingly slow growth." On this account, and because it once destroyed the lack of moisture will forever prevent their restoration, either naturally or by the hand of man, he urges action to prevent destruction. New York, June 14.-Dr. Benjamin W. Richardson, of London, commuting on the emotional story of successful experiments in suspending animal life in Australia, says that the story may be true; and in at least within the range of possibility. He mentions several substances which have singular power, more or less perfect, of suspending the vital functions. The San Francisco Bay area that phytoscience, the search for destructive grape vines can be killed, or at least driven away by irrigation, and he intends to thoroughly test it this and next summer. A final incident occurred at Gilley on Friday: A daughter of Henry Miller, of the first Lafayette Miller, aged eight years, was cut ripping on horseback when she home stumbled and fell, killing her instantly. GAZETTE. 1879. NO. 36. EUGENIE ELISA BURTON. Further Remarding the Murderous Child. Last week we gave the incidents connected with the attempt of Eugenie Elisa Burton to strangle her stepsister and benefactors by sucking their breath and pressing upon their throats while asleep. From a New York paper of a late date we have additional particulars. Justice Kilbreth, the magistrate before whom the girl was examined, replying to questions put by a reporter, said: "No one can doubt the sincerity of Mlle. de Wailly; and although the child is pretty and intelligent, she admits her guilt. It was very singular," the Justice added, "to notice the extreme politeness of the child when questioned about her crime. I asked her what she wanted to do to her guardian, and she replied with a courtesy, and in a low, sweet voice, 'I wanted to murder her, sir.' Then I asked her why she wanted to murder so kind a lady, and she replied with the same bow and winning manner, 'To get her property, sir.'" Mlle. de Wailly offers no obstacle to the fullest study of the case, although she seems astounded at the notoriety it has commanded. She keeps Eugenie locked up in her apartments, so that the little girl has the freedom of the rooms, but cannot escape. As a further safeguard the child is kept clothed in ragged garments, in which it is not thought likely she would attempt to make her escape. That there is a reason for this precaution may be seen from the fact hatred for her stepsister Dora. She thought Dora the greatest obstacle in the way of her succession to the de Wailly's property. She says her mother put this in her head. Allowed to pursue her own chillish fancy, she would have used Dora as a servant until she was ready to kill her. "Did you want to kill the lady?" inquired Officer Chiardi, in whose charge the child is. Eugenie said "Yes": in her softest voice. This voice would have been supposed to be hers by nature, had not the others in the house more than once caught her singing at the top of a voice that possessed the depth and force of a lusty young woman's. "Did she not treat you well," the officer asked. "Yes, sir," said the girl. "She never beat you." "No, sir," the girl replied. "Why do you want to kill her?" "Because I wanted her property?" the child replied—this time with a voice full of confidence and earnestness. "Do you still want to kill everybody in the house?" the officer asked. "No," the girl replied. She made the same response when the question was narrowed from "everybody" to "anybody." The interview was continued at great length, but her replies were all in monosyllables, and were to the effect that she did not care where she was sent as long as she did not return to her mother, who is a very bad woman. Her nervousness did not wear off, though she managed with a little prompting to show how she produced the choking sensation that formed part of the slow death she endangered to bring upon her friends in the Mlle. de Wailly offers no obstacle to the fullest study of the case, although she seems astounded at the notoriety it has commanded. She keeps Eugenie locked up in her apartments, so that the little girl has the freedom of the rooms, but cannot escape. As a further safeguard the child is kept clothed in ragged garments, in which it is not thought likely she would attempt to make her escape. That there is a reason for this precaution may be seen from the fact that the little girl now informs her guardian that she will not trust to her fingers next time she gets a chance to kill the various inmates of the house, but will "use a knife." "I have not slept well," said the little girl in a matter-of-fact talk with Mlle. de Wailly's invalid sister; "I have not slept well or enjoyed what I have taken since I determined to kill you all." Eugenie is not yet nine years of age, and is not large for her age. She is about three feet and a half in height, and appears to weigh about seventy-five or eighty pounds. Her body is broad and moderately well filled out with flesh. Her feet and hands are of ordinary proportions, and are not at all remarkable in form. Her face is quite pretty, although it is uncommonly large, because of its high, broad brow; and it is flatter even than African faces usually are. Its beauty lies in the effect of her soft, olive complexion, her deep black eyes and long black lashes, her infantile mouth and rounded chin, and the wealth of short ringlets in which her thick black hair is worn. She is otherwise peculiar, physically as well as mentally. She has a queer bump on the back of her head, large enough and sufficiently conspicuous to give her a deformed appearance behind. This malformation brings her skull to a blunt point at the base. She has a lump on her throat bigger than an ordinary "Adam's apple," which it is unnecessary to say the other descendants of Eve are not possessed of. This formation has the appearance of a rough-cornered lump divided at the base into irregular dependencies like roots. The muscles of the neck stand out on each side of this "apple," and are very conspicuous and unnatural-looking. Eugenie is still further distinguished from the rest of her kind in having no teeth except the incisors in the front of each jaw. Besides these few that look as any other person's do when the lips are parted, there are not only no other teeth, but there is no possibility that any will ever come. Her jaws are said to have no gums to hold them. Eugenie, ordinarily, is a diffident child. She speaks so softly that it is almost impossible to hear what she says a distance of five feet. The expression of her face is one of innocence and childish grace, and she shrinks back, bends her head, and toys childishly with her fingers in a way that is indescribably charming to the stranger, before whom she is sure to behave in that manner. But this is Eugenia's appearance and manner only before company, or when she has a special house?" the officer asked. "No," the girl replied. She made the same response when the question was narrowed from "everybody" to "anybody." The interview was continued at great length, but her replies were all in monosyllables, and were to the effect that she did not care where she was sent as long as she did not return to her mother, who is a very bad woman. Her nervousness did not wear off, though she managed with a little prompting to show how she produced the choking sensation that formed part of the slow death she endeavored to bring upon her friends in the household. By way of illustrating this procedure, she pressed the thumb of her right hand into her throat by the side of her larnyx, and clutched the other side of the windpipe with her fingers. She pressed one finger after another upon that member. The performance was mechanical, and only lasted thirty seconds at the furthest calculation. A Washington correspondent writes: No city in the Republic, not even New York, so swarms with adventures as Washington, which has for years been the chosen field of the bold, dangerous, wholly unprincipled tribe. They can be counted by hundreds; are of every sort and degree. They are in the Departments, in the hotels, at the boarding houses—everywhere that a man can be found, seduced or frightened. Their missions are multifarious, and their movements mysterious. They are seeking positions; they are lobbyists, they have, or their friends have, claims. They need personal, political, pecuniary assistance—indeed, all kinds, except the moral kind. Most of them are black-mailers. The widow Oliver was but one of many. They are so crafty and treacherous that public men of reputation or means are afraid of, and always on the alert against them. The late Salmon P. Chase would never during his official life at the capital, see a woman he did not know intimately, except in the presence of witnesses. Many Congressmen, Senators and other office-holders, have also made it a rule to receive no visits from women alone. Senator Chandler, though not noted for delicacy, is particularly careful on this point. So is Ben Butler, despite his audacity and recklessness. These and other public men refuse to see women at their rooms, or houses, or anywhere without third persons. The experience of others, if not their own, has made them wary and apprehensive. There are doubtless many men not afraid of any man. We question if there be any man not afraid of women. If there be, he has surely never been in Washington. New York, June 12. —The most remarkable meeting yet held in honor of Wm. Lloyd Garrison was in Atlanta, Georgia, on the 9th inst. Bishop Haven presided Resolutions were adopted containing the following: From this State and capital where $5,000 were offered for the head of the great philanthropist, we rejoice to make this declaration to all the land, and call upon all to praise New York, June 12.—The most remarkable meeting yet held in honor of Wm. Lloyd Garrison was in Atlanta, Georgia, on the 9th inst. Bishop Haven presided. Resolutions were adopted containing the following: From this State and capital where $5,000 were offered for the head of the great philanthropist, we rejoice to make this declaration to all the land, and call upon all to praise and serve the God who led our Moses to conquer the Pharos of American slavery, and to make his captives free. May he give us grace to continue till we have achieved a complete victory over every wrong in all our land. The process of tanning a human skin has just been accomplished by a morocco factory at Lynn, Mass. Two skins, about a foot and a half square, of white and black persons who were hanged, were furnished from a Boston dissecting room, and the process of tanning was remarkably successful, and the skin as it now appears, resembles a piece of French kid. A process by which the human skin can be utilized opens a new field of enterprise for the "resurrectionists," and we may look for an increase of the stock if not a decline in the price of kill gloves. Mrs. W. P. Peterson, who resides at No. 727 Vallejo street, has in her possession a miniature of Abraham Lincoln, which together with its setting, forms one of the most interesting scenes of the martyred President now in existence. It will be remembered thus after the tragedy at Fortaleza Theater, Washington, President Lincoln was carried to a house on Tenth St., between Rd. and F. N. W. opposite the theatre. This house was the residence of Wm. Peterson; Mr. It was an ancient looking house built of brick. In a room in this house, noted as the only private residence in widely known architecture ever held, Lincoln breathed his last. The bell of the murderer Booth had collected his victim's hand, and to stretch the wound a fowl was wound about it. This bird was preserved by the Peterson as a puscella rolls. And when afterwards a portrait of Lincoln, painted by Uhlrich, was added to Mr. Peterson's collection, a portion of the towel was employed as a sitting for the picture. The portrait is an oval miniature, she by eight inches in size. The towel—stained with the blood of Lincoln—is stretched up on a square wooden frame.—S. P. Cheshire.
