White and Clitus Barbour, the Workingmen's candidates respectively for Governor and Congress, will speak in Los Angeles on July 28th, in Anaheim July 29th, and in Santa Ana on July 30th. Mr. Theodore Rimpau has registered one hundred and fifteen voters in this township. The time for registering expires on August 1st, and unless one's name is placed in the register before that date, he will be debarred from voting at the September election. The announcement of E. T. Wright, who seeks the Republican nomination for County Surveyor, is published to-day. Mr. Wright received the unsolicited nomination of the N.C. party, and as he has no competitor for the Republican nomination, his chances for election are decidedly good. Professor de Mondran has withdrawn from the Workingmen's ticket as a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, and it is said that the Workingmen's party have appointed a committee of six to revise the entire ticket nominated by the late County Convention of that party. The Herald reports that Messrs. E. Beswick, S: A. Jackson and others, of La Puente school district, celebrated the 4th by making a raid on the squirrels in that vicinity, in which they bagged 308 of the pests, 60 having been taken in from one burrow. On the morning of the 3d, the same party killed 130, making a total in the two days of 438. On Thursday last, while John Fry was bathing in the ocean near the Salt Works, he was drowned. From the suddenness with which he disappeared, it is thought that he must have been attacked by a shark. The sad affair was witnessed by his sister and several other bathers. Fry was in the employ of Perry, Woodworth & Co. of Los Angeles. The Workingmen's Convention for the First Supervisorial District have made the following nominations: For Supervisors—A. H. Rogers, of Florence, and A. H. Miller, of Monte Vista. For Justices of the Peace—W. H. J. Smith, H. H. Spenser and J. F. Walker. For Constables—J. E. Curley, C. Castera, A. Thompson. It is said that Anaheim is to have a soap factory. An old gentleman named Mead, who has been engaged in the business a lifetime, proposes to settle here, principally for the benefit to be derived from our climate. But in order to have some occupation he intends to start a small soap factory, of capacity enough to meet the demands of the trade of this county at least. Rev. Mr. Trew, rector of the Episcopal Church, will remove to Santa Barbara in a thoroughly progressive and wide-thoughtful design stock has been augmented during week by an invoice of unusually fine wines. They mean to sustain station they have acquired for very finest kind of case goods in the market. Among the wines a fine brand of Hock, a bottle been courteously placed on the eaves.

An old gentleman named Mead, who has been engaged in the business a lifetime, proposes to settle here, principally for the benefit to be derived from our climate. But in order to have some occupation he intends to start a small soap factory, of capacity enough to meet the demands of the trade of this county at least. Rev. Mr. Trew, rector of the Episcopal Church, will remove to Santa Barbara in a week or two. We regret the necessity which makes this change necessary, for Mr. Trew and his accomplished wife are held in the highest esteem by all who have the honor of knowing them. The regret with which everyone speaks of their departure attests the kindly feeling of the community toward them. Mr. Trew's successor in the Episcopal Church here has not yet been appointed. Another probably fatal accident has resulted in Los Angeles from the use of coal oil in lighting the kitchen fire. Mrs. Noszi, who lives on Ducommon street, was in the act of pouring oil on the fire on Friday morning, when the flames communicated with the can, causing it to explode. The lady's clothing caught fire, and before rescued she was horribly burned. It seems that detectives have been quietly at work for some time past inquiring into the recent extensive conflagration at Downey City, and it is said they have secured evidence enough to seriously compromise several of the so-called respectable people of that city, some of whom have been the recipients of a great deal of sympathy for their alleged losses by the fire. The man who is supposed to have been the chief investigator of the crime is said to have been living in Santa Ana for the past few weeks, but having heard that he was about to be arrested, he disappeared a couple of nights ago, and diligent search fails to reveal his whereabouts. The object of the "fire-bags" is said to have been to get the insurance, which was very heavy. The gentleman from whom we get this information says that arrests will probably be made in Downey to-day. Dr. Schlesinger corrected jury that tried him for allegation that baby. He did not mean Jews, as we stated; and some idiots come in for a share of don't want to do him or they we don't understand his way.-Riverside Press. A movement is on foot county, we are informed, to party—not ab initio, but from tickets already in the solidly for those whom the fix upon as the best men. Among the visitors to day were Judge Sepulveda and Burke. It is five years since cited Anaheim, and the charge been wrought in that time forcibly. The Common Council have been petitioned to close Cape House. The city new test, as the inmates of the daily spice of their local colony.

The loss of grapes by pilfering has proved serious annoyance to our vintners in former era, and now that the value of the fruit is great, it has become necessary to adopt measures to protect the vineyards from the rains of thoughtless, destructive or vicious apple. Mr. D. K. Williams has been employed as a patrol, and has been made a deputy of the Town Marshal, so as to have the power to arrest anyone found stealing grape. It will begin his duties about the middle of present month, at which time the grapes will be getting ripe and tempting to lawless petites. Acting Deputy Grand Master S. W. Burke, on Monday evening installed the following officers of Anaheim Lodge, A. O. W.: L. W. Kirby, P. M. W.; J. J. Hill, W.; Frank Ey, F.; D. Drown, O.; J. F. Hilton, D. R.; C. E. Leonard, Financier; Hilmer, C. R.; W. Fesenfeld, Guide; J. Casey, I. W.; Geo. Bauer, O. W. The judge now has a membership of twenty-six, and is described by Mr. Burke as being thoroughly progressive and wide-awake. An advertisement of Messrs. Granet & Venger will be found in our advertising columns to-day. It will be seen that they have made material changes in the mode of conducting their establishment, which will no doubt have the effect desired. Their rock has been augmented during the past week by an invoice of unusually fine liquors and wines. They mean to sustain the reputation they have acquired for keeping the very finest kind of case goods to be had in the market. Among the wines received is a new brand of Hock, a bottle of which has SUMMER PLEASURES. A Picnic in the Hills—Laborious Fun. San Jose Cal., June 30th, 1879. Editor Gazette:—"It is better to be out of the world than to be out of fashion." Just now it is the fashion to "go somewhere." There are so many places equally charming, interesting and convenient to the city, that unhappy indeed must he be who cannot forsake the care and dirt of the city, to revel amid the loveliness of nature. Now, to-day, for instance, everybody and their wives have "gone west" with that excursion to the hills. Now is just our time; we will harness up the pony, pack the lunch-basket, not forgetting a can of oysters, a pickle, and some coffee, milk and sugar. Let's go cast, up the Penitencin (canyon and creek) above Alum Rock, and to the falls. Start early; the morning is perfect; the hill looks about half a mile off (they are seven in a straight line); the road, beautifully graded, has a double row of evergreens on each side (Naglee Avenue). The distance to the camping place is accomplished, can't go any further; so the coffee and bread and better (coffee soon made over a little camp fire) will make breakfast that monarchs might sigh for in vain, unless they had ridden seven miles before breakfast in California's bracing climate. Now for the falls. The way rises moderately and is merry with butterfly and flower; the creek at the side laughing and sparkling like a thing of life and fun. There are ferns, and trees such as sycamore, witch hazel, etc.; up on top of the hill a few sugar pines are scattered around. Now the way grows steeper, the rocks very large, and a place is reached where very many turn back and declare the falls are not worth coming so far to see. An abrupt, crumbling hill, and an overhanging wall of rock ten feet high or more, down which the water merrily tumbles, telling you that you can't get up that way, bars the canyon from side to side. A lively, slipping scramble a few feet up the hill soon convinces you that this is the place that tries the Vindex" Replied to. Editor Gazette:—I notice in your column of Saturday an article headed "Reduction of Teachers' Salaries," claiming that to be the argument used at the election of School Trustee on Saturday by what it terms self-constituted reformers "to induce voters to vote for a certain candidate." "Self constituted" candidate, of course; not a doubt of that. If there is, I propose to give the father of that article the full benefit of it. Now, Mr. Editor, had this article not reflected upon me personally, I would have treated it with the name deserving contempt that all others concerned probably will do. But with your permission, the article deserves a passing notice from me. I had frequently been importuned, but refused to allow my name to be used, in connection with School Trustee, wishing to keep clear of the "billinggata" that someone is always wont to sling on such occasions. The "unkindest cut" of all was that I wished that position to oust Mr. Guinn from his position in the school, which they knew to be untrue and without any foundation whatever as far as I was concerned; and I think its concoctors feel as though it would have been just as well had they been a little more choice in their selection of electionering material. I had never been interviewed by any of my friends of the so-called self-constituted reformers (as the Avenger insists on calling pet names) as to what were or were not my views. What theirs were is no business of mine. Vindex makes a great wailing about the miserable wages of teachers with $4000 educations. This also is not mine to notice. It may all look very well to him, but I doubtDestructive St. Paul, Minn., night was the heaviest nesota.

They mean to sustain the reputation they have acquired for keeping the very finest kind of case goods to be had in the market. Among the wines received is one brand of Hock, a bottle of which has been courteously placed on the editorial table. The Grand Jury commenced its session on Monday, J. E. McComas, foreman; J. M. Chapman, W. E. Crittenden, James Beckwith, Eli Messenger, Wm. McCormick, Lew Moore, H. H. Wakeman, Geo. K. Miller, R. F. Smith, T. R. Pierce, John P. Berry, M. A. Mendelson, Thos. A. Garey, Frank Souchard, G. H. Bailey, H. S. Dickey, J. F. Holbrook, John Benner. The South Santa Monica Wharf Company held a meeting yesterday and decided to commence at once the erection of a warehouse, 100 by 40 feet, on the size of their wharf. This warehouse may be constructed while waiting for the heavy wharf timbers to arrive, and the farmers may thus be given the advantage of storage preparatory to shipment. Heredal. A young man named Ross, a son A. L. Ross, deputy zanjero of Vernon district, on Saturday stole a sum of money from his father, together with a horse and saddle, and struck out for parts unknown. A party of searchers were out all night and a part of Sunday, but we have not heard of the capture of the wanderer. It is said that it is not the young man's first theft. Commercial. Mr. W. Osborne has grown cane (from Sonora seed) for three years and has now the fourth crop growing on the same land and from the same seed, and last year made a good quality of brown sugar—some 6000 pounds, which sold here for 20 cents per pound. We are told that the manufacture of this sugar was an accident, as Mr. Osborne tried to make panocha, but failed in that and made sugar. Phenix (Arizona) Expostor. Mr. Miles Fawcett of Westminster, has sold his farm to Mr. Alward, and will leave for his old home in Wisconsin next week. He makes the change with some misgivings as to whether he can stay contented, after having once experienced the pleasure of living in a climate so at variance with that of Wisconsin. Dr. Schlesinger corrects us about the jury that tried him for alleged starving of that baby. He did not mean to impeach the Jews, as we stated; and some of the "Christians" come in for a share of rebuke. We don't want to do him or them injustice, and we don't understand his understanding, anyway. Riverside Press. A movement is on foot in the city and town for the falls. The way rises moderately and is merry with butterfly and flower; the creek at the side laughing and sparkling like a thing of life and fun. There are ferns, and trees such as sycamore, witch hazel, etc.; up on top of the hill a few sugar pines are scattered around. Now the way grows steeper, the rocks very large, and a place is reached where very many turn back and declare the falls are not worth coming so far to see. An abrupt, crumbling hill, and an overhanging wall of rock ten feet high or more, down which the water merrily tumbles, telling you that you can't get up that way, bars the canyon from side to side. A lively, slipping scramble a few feet up the hill soon convinces you that this is the place that tries the sole—and the pinback. Parasols are closed; a gracefully reclining rest of a few moments nerves the fingers and toes for a grand effort, which succeeds in reaching a just graspable root of poison-oak, which offers the most friendly and timely help to the ambitious. Fill the lungs and the soul with ambition! The top is gained. Now descend the opposite of the hill, quite carefully, too, or there'll be a tumble, and two hundred yards bring the falls in view. The canyon is here a round rocky basin, with perpendicular, smooth walls from sixty to a hundred feet high, and absolutely no place of entrance except at the side from whence the creek emerges. The falls are sixty feet high, the water falling daintily over green, moss-covered rocks, making a lovely shimmering mist of alver, which charms away the last vestige of fatigue. Here the scientifically-minded find fresh-water algae, ferns, snails and water battisglore. But the mortal, hidden consciousness which ever accompanies, now clamoreth for the noontide sustenance. It was two miles up to the falls from the camp; it is just one half mile from the falls to the camp. The hardest side of the hill that must be passed can be descended very speedily by assuming a graceful sitting position, almost there's need for careful steering; the path is crooked as well as rrow, and a fall over fifty feet of rocky wall down upon more rocks is not desirable. Now the oysters, the pickles, the coffee, and everything else the well-stocked hamper may afford, is gratefully indeed to the starving senses. If the cake is heavy, here is just the place to eat it. Is not this penitence (Penitencia) canyon? A hundred yards from camp is a white sulphur spring, warm; too, across the creek from that is a chalybeate spring, where the water is clear as crystal where it runs over the floor of the tunnel, but black as ink after it strikes the rocks outside. Two or three hundred yards down the creek, there bubbles a soda spring. Picnickers bring their own acidity, which added to the water direct from the spring, makes a dish of delicious foaming drink. The sulphur spring above has been walled in with concrete, and pipes laid down to the hotel, amile or more, where bath-houses are built and are resorted to by numerous invalids through the entire summer. There are innumerable sulphur springs on each side of the creek. Alum Rock rises perhaps three hundred feet from a deep pool in the creek. Its face is rapidly decomposing, and is covered with exudations containing a little sulphur and much whitish stuff, which you cannot tell sight or taste from the alum of commerce. It is two miles below the hotel. There is hunting and fishing, and the one thing that would perfect and complete picnic happiness is one of your grand, beautiful vine-draped live oaks from your Santiago Canyon. Which would you take in exchange—a soda or a sulphur spring? Norma. We are informed that very competent parties are about making arrangements to start a wool grading house, in Nand'a capacious warehouse, on Alameda St. This will be great advantage to the wool growers of New York. Vindex makes a great wailing about the miserable wages of teachers with $4000 educations. This also is not mine to notice. It may all look very well to him, but I doubt if it does so anyone else. It is only his own personal slang that declares silence to no longer be a virtue. He declares all these reformers to be the enemies of progress and improvement. And now, behold! he concludes these martyrred saints of progress! Now, let us take a "bird's eye view" of them as we saw them on the afternoon of school election and see who they were. That serve force that is always held in readiness on such occasions under its commander and staff, well drilled both in the language and tactics. Now I did not doubt the courage of these "reformers" to fight Greek fire or anything encountered in ordinary warfare; but I proved myself correct in doubting their ability to stand the smell of garlic that made you Masters of the situation. I had looked upon that as glory enough for one day without following up with the missile in question. But Vindex evidently belongs to this party of progress and gives a kick at anything he finds already down. The only idea that I could form from the views of people in regard to this question was that the school machinery had been running at a high rate of speed, and they only wanted to stop and look back and see that all right was I see nothing so retrogressive in that as to arouse the Avenger. Why could he not have been honest in this, and like Mrs. Partington, have a liking for "the good old" way of doing things, and sign his real name and let us know who contributes so much to the progress and improvement of this place. Vindex has said a great deal about turning teachers and children into the street, and the prevention of money being spent in this place, etc.; but all of this is deserving of no further notice then the ravings of a peculiar frame of mind that admirably adapt him to the requirements of the flaming "nom de plume" he assumes. D.W.C.Cowan. Mammoth Bar Gold Mining Co. During the past few years a new style of placer mining has been introduced in California, which has been attended with much success. Along the auriferous rivers of the State are bars that occupy the former beds of streams, containing gravel interspersed with gold, which can only be extracted by the application of powerful machinery, as it is only the bottom strata that is rich in that metal. It is for the prosecution of this work that the company has been formed, the site of operations being on what is known as Mammoth Bar, situated on the middle fork of American river. Nowhere has the yield been better than along this stretch of the middle fork; this bar being the richest as well as largest. An account of this property was published in The Journal Of Commerce January 11th, 1879. There are 100,000 shares in the company; greater portion portage give rise to city every time of the State suffer wanting. Crops sailed hail,and at Marshale large as hen's eggation.

Dr. Schlesinger corrects us about the jury that tried him for alleged starving of that baby. He did not mean to impeach the Jews, as we stated; and some of the "Christians" come in for a share of rebuke. We don't want to do him or them injustice, and we don't understand his understanding, anyway. A movement is on foot in the city and county, we are informed, to organize a new party—not ab initio, but to select names from tickets already in the field and vote solidly for those whom the organization may fix upon as the best men. Express. Among the visitors to Anaheim yesterday were Judge Sepulveda and Prof. S. W. Burke. It is five years since the Judge visited Anaheim, and the changes that have been wrought in that time struck him very forcibly. The Common Council of Los Angeles have been petitioned to close the notorious Cape House. The city newspapers all protest, as the inmates of the house furnish the daily spice of their local columns. The School Trustees met on Saturday and organized by electing Fred W. Athearn Clerk of the district for the ensuing year. The bond of John Fischer, Assessor and Collector, was fixed at $2,000. The Board of Supervisors have granted the petition to create Trabuca School District. The petition to change the names of Santa Ana and Spring school districts was also granted. Anaheim Fire Company elected the following officers on Monday night: D. R. Payne, Foreman; H. A. Stough, Asst. Foreman; E. M. Ferguson, Sec'y.; A. C. Roques Treasurer. Ed. Pellegrin has opened a jewelry store in Santa Ana, and his brother Alfred is successfully conducting a photographic studio in the same place. Mr. Isaac Cohen, delegate to the Democratic Convention, returned from Sacramento on Saturday. We are informed that very competent parties are about making arrangements to start a wool grading house, in Naud's capacious warehouse, on Alameda St. This will be of great advantage to the wool growers of Southern California, as they can thus have their wool graded and packed at home and ship direct to Boston and receive the full net value of their wools. Evening Journal. Messrs. Peters and Simmons of Santa Ana, while returning from Los Angeles on Sunday, met with an accident near Norwalk. Their team ran away, dumping them into a ditch, and the horses threw themselves in such a way that the neckyoke ran into one of the animals, killing it on the spot. The Anaheim Water Company has levied an assessment of $1 per share, payable before August 2d. A pedestrian named Davis ran 100 yards in Los Angeles on Sunday in 9½ seconds. Martin Classen has opened the Brewery Saloon on Center St. New York July 7. A Herald China correspondent, who has been examining the condition of Canton manufacturers, writes: What Chinese labor will not stand is cheap American labor-saving machinery; although attempts have been made to introduce it, which would enable the workman to treble the quantity of his work, and the farmer to hull and clean ten times the quantity of rice, the feeling is so strong among the laborers as to forbid it. Laborers here, no matter what their calling, belong to guilds or trades unions, and any attempt to enforce new machines or labor-saving methods is resisted. Poughkeepsie, July 4. Miss Jessie Dunbar, aged twenty-two years, was burned to death to-day, boys having ignited her clothing with fire-crackers. It is for the prosecution of this work that the company has been formed, the site of operations being on what is known as Mammoth Bar, situated on the middle fork of the American river. Nowhere has the yield been better than along this stretch of the middle fork, this bar being the richest as well as the largest. An account of this property was published in the Journal of Commerce January 11th, 1879. There are 100,000 shares in the company, the greater portion of which has already been placed. Col. Walter S. Davis of California, but formerly of Boston where he has a large acquaintance, is visiting this city for the purpose of placing among his friends a portion of the stock of the Mammoth Bar Mining Company. Boston Journal of Commerce, June 14. A Sheriff Killed. Independence, Inyo county, July 3, via Mojave, July 5. This evening about six o'clock Wm. L. Moore, Sheriff of this county, was instantly killed while performing his duty as an officer by a shot fired from either of two parties who were at the time engaged in an altercation. The men were named respectively Michael Welsh and Henry Tessier and had met with six-shooters in the Albion saloon, with the apparent attempt on the part of Tessier to seek a shooting match on account of some words which has passed between them there a few hours before. Our Sheriff stepped in between them and received from one of the men, it is not known which, a hall in the left side. He spoke but a few words and fell dead. Welch was immediately taken into custody and lodged in jail. Tessier ran through and out of the town and has so far eluded capture, though the places are being searched and there is scarce a possibility of his escaping. The town is wild with excitement and the lynching of the two men is probable. Sheriff Moor's predecessor in office, Then Passmore, met with death in an equally tragic manner, the result of which was the killing by the enraged citizens of five criminal participants. The deceased offender, Wm. L. Moore, was a man universally beloved and the grief is intense here. Later—Tessier is now under arrest. AZETTE. NO. 39 Destructive Tornado. St. Paul, Minn., July 8.—The storm last night was the heaviest ever known in Minnesota. Five inches of rain fell in fifteen hours, the greatest amount since the Signal Services' Office has been established. The damage in this city is considerable, but was confined to flooded streets and callars, bursting sewers, and one or two buildings undermine. Trains were delayed on the railroad by washouts, and none arrived or left until to-night. The most serious damage is on the river road, near Red Wing, where the washout will stop travel a day or two. The storm extended all over the State and northwestern Wisconsin, consisting of a great fall of rain, hail and lightning. The damage was great, but the details come in slowly. At Vasa, Goodhue-county, seven persons were killed and thirty were injured by lightning and the fall of a building, but there are no particulars. At Winnebago, the wife of Nathaniel Stevens was killed by lightning. At Mountain Lake, Lawrence Lawless was killed by lightning. At Red Wing the reports give $100,000 damage to property in the city. Every town in the south and east of the State suffered heavily, but details are wanting. Crops suffered from the rain and hail, and at Marahal the hailstones were as large as hen's eggs and caused great destruction. At Menomonee, Wis., a house was carried away by the flood, with two persons not since heard from. The wires were down east all day. Sioux Crrv, July 3.—A tornado struck the southwestern part of Elkhorn, Dakota Territory, about half past five o'clock yesterday afternoon, blowing down three buildings that are a total wreck. Many barns and houses were damaged. Diseases of the Vine. [Correspondence St. Halena Star.] The phylloxera, that little insect which is seriously threatening, and has already destroyed thousands of acres of grape vines in France, and which has made an appearance in some districts of this State, is a source of great concern to the vinegrowers of California. In this county, fortunately, so far no authenticated discovery of its appearance has been reported, despite the close and searching investigations of grape growers in all parts of the valley. There is, however, a disease or blight attacking some of our vines which has been a puzzle to vinters for some years past; it is, however, mostly confined to the old mission vines, although in some cases found among foreign varieties. In the month of July, when the grapes are half grown, the flow of sap has become sluggish and the vertical rays of an almost tropical sun glare upon the vines, the winter is surprised to see suddenly appear, here and there, some yellow spots, and on investigation finds the foliage of some of the vines dying; naturally leading him to believe it the work of the phylloxera. Vines affected in that manner were, however, repeatedly closely examined, and in every case failed to disclose the dreaded pest; consequently some other cause must be found to account for the disease. In discussing this matter with Mr. S. Kister, one of our most thorough and practical grape growers, he related to me that he had grafted a lot of old mission vines, sawing them off below the surface of the ground, as is customary, and that in splitting some he found most of them rotten at the core, giving ports give 600,000 damage to property in the city. Every town in the south and east of the State suffered heavily, but details are wanting. Crops suffered from the rain and hail, and at Marshal the hailstones were as large as hen's eggs and caused great destruction. At Menomonee, Wis., a house was carried away by the flood, with two persons not since heard from. The wires were down east all day. Soux Cree, July 3.—A tornado struck the southwestern part of Elkhorn, Dakota Territory, about half past five o'clock yesterday afternoon, blowing down three buildings that are a total wreck. Many barns and stables were overturned and chimneys blown down. The only person injured, so far as is known, is Mary Woods, whose head and limbs were badly bruised by the turning over of her house. Mrs. Norton was sitting in her house, and when the cyclone struck it the floor opened under her and she fell into the cellar, the house being carried away several rods. She was not hurt. Reports from the surrounding country show that great damage has been done, houses, barns, fences and crops having been destroyed. The storm was seen to gather and approach the city from the southeast, and it is thought by many that it had not reached its maximum strength when it struck here. In the night there was another severe storm, but it has done no serious damage so far as heard from. A special to the Journal from Lemars, Plymouth county, Iowa, says: A terrible storm passed over the northern part of this county last evening between 6 and 7 o'clock, destroying houses, barns, etc. Ten miles northwest of here two young men named Kriss were killed. They ran into a barn for shelter, when the wind struck the building with terrific force, completely demolishing it, and crushing them to death in the ruins. The storm is described by eye witnesses as terrific. Serious Accidents. San Jose, July 4.—A feature of the celebration to-day was a sham battle between the San Jose Zouaves on the one side and Phil Sheridan Post, No. 7, of the Grand Army of the Republic. On the other. The plan was for the G. A. R. to occupy a breastwork defended by two pieces of cannon. After the usual skirmishing the Grand Army outposts were driven in by an infantry and cavalry charge. Just as the attacking party was entering the works, one gun being charged, a two-pound Parrot was prematurely discharged, fearfully wounding Charles Smith, who was ramming the charge, and more or less wounding several others. Smith's right hand was entirely blown away, and nothing remained of his left hand except the third and fourth fingers. He was otherwise badly burned. Both arms will have to be amputated, one above the elbow and the other above the wrist. Charles Parsons, a drummer of the Zouaves, was struck in the breast by a large section of a rammer and injured internally. James McGinley, a member of the G. A. R., was struck in the shoulder by a piece of rammer and seriously injured. Others were slightly injured by flying splinters. Smith is a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. During the Rebellion he moved in the Eighth California Cavalry. Sharon's Absence from the Senate. New York, July 5.—The Times's Washington special says: The question whether the law is a dead letter which enacts that no member of Congress shall be paid the amount of his salary for days that life is absent from his official post, except with leave or on account of sickness, will probably be decided before long. It is a notorious fact that Senator Sharon, of Nevada, has rarely attended the sessions of the Senate. He has not been in his seat more than two months since he qualified. He left on February 26th last, after drawing the full amount due him to Worcester, Mass., July 5th.—At Lake Quinsegnamond yesterday afternoon the steamer Isaac Davis, loaded with passengers, careened. The hurricane deck broke off and scores of passengers were thrown into the lake. About two hundred passengers were on the boat; one hundred were on the hurricane deck and there was no opportunity to get off. Others rushed to the hurricane deck, and as they did so the Davis careened over away from the wharf and caused the crowd to rush to that side, and threw the struggling mass into the water. As the boat gave way the roof of the upper deck came crushing down on the engine and broke off the safety valve, which caused the steam to rush out with a fearful noise, adding new terror. The boat rolled over more, catching the gunwale on a spike, which became fast, and the great weight caused the supports of the hurricane deck to give way, bringing the whole structure down to the wafer-line. The water at this point is over ten feet deep. Many swam to the shore, twenty feet distant, others held on to the wrecked hull and others to the floating roof. Prominent citizens and many physicians were at hand for assistance, and the bodies of the lost were soon recovered. Killed—John Cahill, aged 55, and daughter, 24 years old, Lewis Le Chapella, aged 20; Nellie Thackrow, aged 18, and three others not yet identified. Injured—Emma Hommenway, a young man named McKenna, Jesminh Dean and wife Samuel B. Gilbert. The missing are Edward Coture, L. Dresshell, and Lewis Powers of Clinton. The boat was now, having been launched May Day. Her length was 65 feet. She had two passenger decks, and could carry 400 passengers. New York, July 5.—The Times's Washington special says: The question whether the law is a dead letter which enacts that no member of Congress shall be paid the amount of his salary for days that he is absent from his official post, except with leave or on account of sickness, will probably be decided before long. It is a notorious fact that Senator Sharon, of Nevada, has rarely attended the sessions of the Senate. He has not been in his seat more than two months since he qualified. He left on February 26th last, after drawing the full amount due him to that date, having neglected to appear at the extra session of the Forty-sixth Congress. Burch, the new Secretary of the Senate states that if Sharon demands his salary for that session, he will, before paying the money, submit the case to the First Controller of the Treasury, and obtain a written decision from him concerning his duties in the premises. The law, however, is so clear that it is doubtful whether any construction can be placed on it that will give to Sharon money which he never earned. Sections 40 and 41 of the Revised Statutes expressly forbid the payment of salary or mileage to members who absent themselves without sufficient cause. Governor Roberts, of Texas, has been commuting the death sentences of several of the dozen or more convicted murderers now awaiting their execution, for they do convict and hang murderers in Texas commonly. At Houston, an indignation meeting of over one thousand citizens was held to denounce Roberts. The crowd was addressed by several gentlemen, when resolutions were read expressing utter contempt for Roberts, denouncing him as the aider and shielder of murderers and assassins; asserting that he had deceived and lost the confidence of the people, and ending by demanding that Roberts, if he had any manhood left, resign a position he had diagnozed by prescribing it to-the aid and comfort of murderers and assassins. These resolutions were unanimously adopted. Three groans were given for Roberts, whose name was hissed and hooted whenever mentioned. London, July 2d.—Fifty men were killed by an explosion in High Blantyre, in a coal pit near Glasgow, this morning.
