WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY... JULY 2, 1881 Somewhere it is written: "Eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow ye die." We commend these solemn words to the thoughtless people who on Monday will celebrate the glorious Fourth in the usual riotous manner. For on the succeeding day, to-wit the 5th of July, chaos will come, and the world will be a thing of the past. The authority for this prediction is a warning inscription on an egg laid by a hen in Yolo county, and everybody knows that hens never lie, though they sometimes lay. COUNTY OFFICIALS throughout the State are now on the ragged edge. Many good lawyers hold to the opinion that the Hartson bill, postponing county elections until 1882, is unconstitutional, and steps have been taken to bring the matter before the Supreme Court for adjudication. An application has been made to the Superior Court of Yolo county for a mandamus to compel the Board of Supervisors to order an election this fall. In this way a decision will be reached soon, and in the meantime candidates had better begin to "lay wires." In the death of Lieutenant Colonel J. W. Davidson, which occurred at St. Paul, Minn. on Wednesday, a noted man has been removed, and one whom many old residents of this county will remember. He accompanied Kearney on his march to California in 1846; was wounded at the battle of San Pasqual and fought at the passage of the Sacramento River. At a recent meeting of the Brooklyn Bridge Commissioners, the President stated that the great structure would be finished within a year. The sum of $1,000,000 is required to complete the work, of which Brooklyn is to furnish two-thirds and New York one-third. The financial statement showed that on May 31st last, $13,009,315 20 had been received, and $12,884,437 23 expended since the work began, and that there was $124,877 97 cash on hand, and liabilities of $85,155 08 outstanding. While upon the subject of bridges, it might be well to mention quite a notable engineering undertaking that has just been completed in Russia, in the shape of a long bridge over the Volga, on the Syoran and Orenburg Railway, connecting the cities of Syoran, in the Government of Simbrisk, with that of Samara. The width of the river is nearly a mile, and, as it is liable to the occurrence of heavy spring floods, the piers—of which there are fourteen altogether—had to be built 100 feet above mean water level, the depth of the water being more than fifty feet. The great girders, 364 feet long and twenty feet wide, were all riveted and put together on the right bank of the river, and then floated to their position. The whole cost of the structure, which is regarded as a model of its kind, was 7,000-000 silver roubles. We have some curiosity to know just what, in the opinion of Englishmen as represented by the Army and Navy Club, constitutes a rascal; or, in other words, whether a man who criminally assaults a young lady in a railway car is considered to have done nothing affecting his standing as a gentleman.

In the death of Lieutenant Colonel J. W. Davidson, which occurred at St. Paul, Minn. on Wednesday, a noted man has been removed, and one whom many old residents of this county will remember. He accompanied Kearney on his march to California in 1846; was wounded at the battle of San Pasqual and fought at the passage of the San Gabriel and in the battle of the Mesa, in the advance by Kearney and Stockton to Los Angeles, in January, 1847. He subsequently rendered valuable service on the scouting expeditions against the Indians of California, New Mexico and Oregon. A Washington correspondent avers that Auditor French's official days are numbered. He says: "The recent letter of French, Auditor of Railway Accounts, to the President of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, in consequence of which Central Pacific stock advanced sufficiently in the market to have netted French a snug fortune had he been inclined to take advantage of the rise, was the subject of Cabinet discussion on Wednesday. The opinion was unanimous that, having been sent West as the Government's agent, French had no business to transcend his legitimate duties and that the circumstances demand his removal." The German Government has for a long time been restive at seeing the bone and sinew of the country emigrating in such great numbers to America, and have done all in their power to discourage the exodus. A telegram from Berlin now says that a public exhibition of placards of emigration agents or of foreign steamship companies has been prohibited, and a bill impeding emigration will be introduced at the next session of the Reichstag. Coercive measures generally fail to accomplish their object, and it is more than likely that the more severe the measures adopted by the German Government to prevent emigration, the greater and more general will become the desire of the people to leave the country, and having determined to come to America, no prohibitory laws can prevent them. We have some curiosity to know just what, in the opinion of Englishmen as represented by the Army and Navy Club, constitutes a rascal; or, in other words, whether a man who criminally assaults a young lady in a railway car is considered to have done nothing affecting his standing as a gentleman. General Valentine Baker was one of the pets of the British army some years ago, the boon companion of the Prince of Wales, and a curled darling of society. He was guilty of the crime we have spoken of, a nominal punishment was inflicted by the court and he was permitted to resign his army commission and exile himself at some continental resort. He has re-appeared in London, and ate breakfast with the Prince of Wales the other morning, which step is supposed to be preliminary to his making application for re-admission into the Army and Navy Club and into first-class society. Fifty members of the club have signed a paper expressing the opinion that "the cause of his quitting the service, does not affect his standing as a gentleman." The project of a tunnel under the English Channel—from Dover to Calais—has long been mooted, and it is said that experimental borings, recently made, have given encouragement to the projectors of the scheme. There are not a few engineering experts, however, who predict disaster to the undertaking, should it ever be inaugurated. They want to know how the dirt is to be removed and ventilation secured for the workmen. They say it would be absolutely impossible to work trains through such a tunnel to make it pay, unless enormous passenger and freight rates were charged. Sir Edward Watkin's estimate that the seven feet drift way can be completed in five years is ridiculed as a gross absurdity, and the enemies of the scheme say that the whole affair is meant as an attempt to raise the wind for the Southeastern Railway, of which Sir Edward is Chairman.

It seems more than probable, in view of recent developments, that to Canada must be awarded the glory of having invented the first practicable flying machine. On Tuesday last, at Ottawa, an ex-Alderman, named Clancey, gave an exhibition with a flying machine of his own invention, in the presence of several thousand spectators. The machine is briefly described as being worked by a crank and having wings. The telegram says: "Starting at St. Arne's Church, he managed to keep in the air at the average height of twelve feet for a quarter of a mile. The exhibition created an excitement, and the inventor is proud of his success and boasts that he will be able shortly to accomplish all desired results. He proposes flying across the Ottawa river on Dominion Day, from the tower of the Parliament building. Clancey has been at work for thirty years at his machine, which he will have at once patented." Sir Edward Watkin's estimate that the seven feet drift way can be completed in five years is ridiculed as a gross absurdity, and the enemies of the scheme say that the whole affair is meant as an attempt to raise the wind for the Southeastern Railway, of which Sir Edward is Chairman. St. Louis, June 29.—Jeff Chandler, a prominent lawyer of this city, has just returned from Washington, where he was engaged as one of the counsel for the defense in the cases of the Government against Brady and Dorsey, of Star route notoriety. He gave the Post's reporter this afternoon some new points in the case. He said, in reply to the question, "in event the Government is able to procure evidence enough to indict Brady, what will be your line of defense?" "Impossible to say until the evidence is produced. The question of law lies underneath the case, which I think settles it entirely. There can be no element of legal wrong in those contracts which the Court can inquire into after Congress has, by its special legislation regarding them, cured them of all infirmity. You know Congress appropriated twelve millions to meet the expenses of these expedited contracts, and before doing this investigated each one of the contracts and made the appropriation to carry them out upon the expedited prices. This was in effect to declare by Congress that the Post-office Department had acted properly in expediting those routes and in paying these additional prices." Regarding the method employed by the Government in procuring the testimony in the case, Mr. Chandler produced a letter from McVeagh, dated June 23d, which says: "I am told you have some knowledge relative to Star route matters which may be of importance to the Government, and if so I will be glad to see or hear from you on the subject."

V.E. HOWARD, Judge of said Court. June 30, 1881. THE DAILY Commercial! Los Angeles, Cala. WILLIAM H GOULD. A Railroad Horror. Chicago, June 27.—The "Times"' special from the City of Mexico says: The accident on the Morelos Railway late Friday evening lost none of its horror through the receipt of more accurate advises. The scene of the catastrophe was on the river San Antonia, near the valley of Mailpois. For some time past this section of the country has been swept by fierce storms, swelling the creeks into torrents and laying waste many fertile fields. Included in the general wreck was a bridge spanning the river at the point mentioned. Although known to be unsafe, it was still in use when the fated train, bearing a battalion of soldiers, attempted its passage. The result was a crash as the undermined supports gave way, and the engine and cars were hurled headlong down the chasen. Scarcely had the magnitude of the tragedy become apparent when a new horror was added. In the freight cars, comprising a portion of the train, was a consignment of alcohol. This took fire and the subsequent explosion contributed much to the loss of life. The few who escaped uninjured at once applied themselves to the rescue of their less tortunate comrades; but it was some hours before the exact extent of the tragedy grew apparent. It is now known, however, that thirteen officers and 192 privates were either killed outright by the fall or roasted to death, while others sustained hurts of a more or less serious character. When information of the sad accident reached this city the excitement was unbounded, and crowds thronged all the news centers anxiously awaiting particulars. Never in the history of the republic has so frightful an accident been chronicled, and its occurrence, it is feared, may still further prejudice the popular mind against railway enterprises. The Morelos is a narrow gauge line built by government subvention, and is entirely the work of Mexican engineers. It was first opened to the public on the 18th instant. In addition to the loss of life already presented, it appears that the engineer and fireman were scalded to death. City of Mexico, June 28.—Another account says that the list of 17 officers and 197 private killed does not include the railroad officials and employees, or the women and children of the soldiers. Only sixty persons in all are saved alive. Of these, forty are more or less injured. For a moment after the plunge of the cars from the bridge all was darkness. Suddenly 100 barrels of brandy, loaded on two vans, caught fire, and the burning fluid inundated the mass of the passengers struggling in the ruins. Only a few, who were not disabled or hopelessly wedged in the timbers, escaped. The dead and living were wrapt in a sheet of flame and slowly burned before the eyes of the survivors, who were unable to save them. Warring on Orchard Enemies. In many sections the most expensive and widely scattered enemy of the orchard is the coddling moth. It appears in the spring, in a larva state, hatching out late in April and early in May. The moth begins work at once, boring into apples and pears. In fifteen days later, or about the middle of May, a new brood of moths appears. The levy mining claim near Volcano. He was watchman on the claim, being armed with a shotgun. His body was found lying on the sluice boxes, penetrated by two balls. Both barrels of his gun were discharged. The robbers cleaned up some sixty feet of the boxes, but how much amalgam they obtained is unknown. Four men have been arrested on suspicion. On June 25th, N. Markham and his son, aged 10 years, while attempting to Ford the Natchez River, in Yakima Valley, W. T., were drowned. A fierce current upset the wagon, throwing both out into the water, when they were swept down and drowned. The wagon and team were also swept down, and not recovered until they reached Yakima River, some miles below. The bodies of Markham and son have not been recovered. During the past year six persons have been drowned at the same place. On June 18th a sad affair happened at Garfield Landing on the Great Salt Lake, which resulted in the death of Mrs. Josephine Schettler, wife of Paul Schettler, the City Treasurer of Salt Lake. While bathing she got into deep water, in company with some other ladies and children, and all became frightened, and in their attempts to reach a place of safety they sank several times each time inhaling a quantity of the salt water. They were finally rescued, but Mrs. Schettler died from bleeding at the lungs. The Regents of the State University on Tuesday held a stormy session over the question of electing a new President of that institution. A number of ballots were taken, the principal candidates being C. T. Reid, Principal of the Boys' High School of San Francisco, Hon. James McM. Shafter and Bishop Havens. There was a good deal of talk about political influences at work in the Board and some sharp criticisms of Mr. Reid. The election, however, finally resulted in his favor, the last ballot giving him eleven votes, Shafter nine. Rev. J. H. C. Boute was chosen Secretary. The Eureka "Sentinel" says that on Tuesday last early in the morning four bucks were seen carrying a comely squaw over Clark-street hill. The squaw was tied hand and foot, and appeared as reconciled to her fate as an Egyptian mummy. In answer to a question as to what they were doing with the prisoner, a sturdy buck, whose cheeks were daubed with a brilliant red, replied: "Bad squaw; heap run away from husband for some other fellow. Take him back to camp and whip him. He no run away again." privates killed does not include the railroad officials and employees, or the women and children of the soldiers. Only sixty persons in all are saved alive. Of these, forty are more or less injured. For a moment after the plunge of the cars from the bridge all was darkness. Suddenly 100 barrels of brandy, loaded on two vans, caught fire, and the burning fluid inundated the mass of the passengers struggling in the ruins. Only a few, who were not disabled or hopelessly wedged in the timbers, escaped. The dead and living were wrapped in a sheet of flame and slowly burned before the eyes of the survivors, who were unable to save them. WICHITA, Kan., June 27th.—One of the heaviest rain and wind storms, accompanied by hail, ever known passed over this section Friday night. Five inches of rain fell during the night, and a section of country ten miles wide and twenty miles long, included in the Kansas River Valley, west of here, suffered very great damage. Thousands of acres of wheat, corn and oats were cut down level with the ground. Even prairie grass was mown clean. Orchards were stripped of their fruit. The wheat just stacked was soaked through and through, and many buildings were seriously injured. E. Pendergast was killed by lightning. Another storm swept over the same section Saturday night. Santa Cruz county has a shooting prodigy in the person of Lillian F. Smith, a 10-year old girl who lives near Corralitos. She recently gave an exhibition of her skill at Watsonville, and astonished the oldest sportsmen. The young Miss uses a 22 caliber 7½ pound Ballard rifle, and handles it with ease. She repeatedly broke bails thrown by hand into the hair, hit two ten cent pieces that were thrown up, and did other wonderful shooting. They are still balloting at Albany for successors to Conkling and Platt. The last vote for the short term stood: Potter 49, Conkling 31, Wheeler 42, Cornell 3, Lapham 17, Folger 1, Crowley 2, Roach 1, Rogers 1. In the ballot for the long term the combined vote was: Depow 50, Kernan 49, Platt 27, Cornell 91, Wheeler 1, Crowley 6, Hoskins 14, Lapham 3, Tremain 1. Warring on Orchard Enemies. In many sections the most expensive and widely scattered enemy of the orchard is the coddling moth. It appears in the spring, in a larva state, hatching out late in April and early in May. The moth begins work at once, boring into apples and pears. In fifteen days later, or about the middle of May, a new brood of moths appears. The rough, dead bark should be scraped from the trees early in the season, and the bark washed with a preparation of lye which can be purchased at any seed store, being made for this purpose. The use of strips of sacks, or papers wound about the trees near the ground, and thus acting as traps for the larva is advisable. Some of the instances of success in destroying the coddling moth which have lately come to light, are worth much as showing how entirely an orchard may be redeemed from ruin. A pear orchard of 9,000 trees on Putah Creek seemed in a hopeless condition. Three years' labor with lye freed it entirely, and then a good crop sold for 4½ cents a pound. A large pear orchard (100 acres) near Folson was infested. The owner fought the enemy, but a neighbor refused to clean his trees, refused to sell his fruit and refused to let his orchard be disinfected without expense. So both men lost their crops one year, and the next year the perverse neighbor took hold of the subject. In Santa Cruz county there is a caterpillar which injures the apple-tree. It is called the "Tussock Moth." The red spider can be killed by alkaline washes. Potash, used on so many orchards, is also of value as a fertilizer. The scale pest which is so rousing the orchardists of the Santa Clara Valley, nourishes only when trees are partially weakened, from over bearing, or some other cause. The use of a wash made of alkali, phosphorus and ammonia is recommended. Sulphur is also good in combination with alkali. Coal oil has many disadvantages; is not a fertilizer, and often injures the tree dangerously. Mathew Cook of Sacramento State Horticultural officer says that if coal oil must be used the safest plan is as follows: "Add-one pint of coal oil and one pint of ammonia to five gallons of water and two ounces of borax. The mixture is put on the trees, the oil by the sapification being disseminated through the water." But mineral oils are decidedly inferior to the alkali, sulphur and other substances previously named. FOR SALE OR RENT.

STRAW HATS AND PARASOLS, And one thousand and one articles too long to enumerate. FIRST-CLASS GROCERIES ALWAYS ON HAND. Hippolyte Cahen, Center St., Anaheim. There are many ways of conducting a grocery store; but to be successful in these days of close competition and with an exacting and discriminating public, certain essential points are required which few possess. The great success of my AMERICAN CASH STORE, 48 & 50 Spring St., Los Angeles. Cal., Is due to the fact that it commands in an eminent degree every advantage necessary to make it the leading grocery store on the southern coast. The heavy business I am doing enables me to keep my stock always fresh and clean. I buy my goods only for CASH, from FIRST HANDS, And in a WHOLESALE WAY. I am enabled to do so by having my house in San Francisco to do my buying and to there dispose of any surplus stock over and above the requirements of the Los Angeles store. To further facilitate and insure the safe handling of wholesale quantities of merchandise, I have just opened ANOTHER STORE in STOCKTON, And am now in position to buy largely enough to insure the lowest cost on every article bought. Those dealing with me will share these advantages, in being SERVED PROMPTLY —WITH— FIRST-CLASS GOODS ANOTHER STORE in STOCKTON, And am now in position to buy largely enough to insure the lowest cost on every article bought. Those dealing with me will share these advantages, in being SERVED PROMPTLY —WITH— FIRST-CLASS GOODS, —and AT— LOWER PRICES! Than they can buy for elsewhere. It is of course quite in the range of possibilities that some one of our neighbors on whose toes I may happen to tread, will "get up his back" and try to sell at my prices; but as he can do so only at a loss to himself, whilst I am making a small profit, such "spurts" are of a short duration, and in fact at no time do they cover the whole ground, since such reductions are always confined to a few staples, merely to catch the eye. Since the prices of the AMERICAN CASH STORE have justly become THE STANDARD By which those of other concerns are measured, it is evident that it must be to the interest of the consumer to at once GO TO HEADQUARTERS, And not uselessly risk having to pay more for his goods than they are worth.
