WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...OCTOBER 15, 1881 Kleinigkeiten. The Gazette enters upon its twelfth volume to-day. Counterfeit half dollars are said to be in circulation in this county. Marshall Franklin was on Wednesday committed to the Napa Insane Asylum from Los Angeles. The October term of the Supreme Court began in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and will probably adjourn on Monday next. The Bee is the name of a paper soon to be published at Downey City by Nap Donovan. Mr. B. F. Seibert went up to San Francisco on Saturday. Mr. F. Conrad left for the same city on Thursday. Ivar A. Weid, while driving towards Cahuenga a few nights ago, drove over an embankment and sustained injuries which will confine him to his room for some time. Receipt books, order books, note books etc., printed on heavy paper and bound in a substantial form, are kept in stock at the Gazette Job Office. The hotel at Mojave Station, on the Southern Pacific Railroad, was burned on Monday morning. The loss is $3,000; insured for $2,000. Those who are desirous of paying their Town of Anaheim taxes for the current year can do so by calling on Mr. Seibert at the Bank of Anaheim. There will be preaching in the Presbyterian church tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 11 o'clock, at which time the Communion of the Lord's Supper will be administered. A meeting of the ladies of St. Michael's church was held at the parsonage on Thursday afternoon to lay out the work for a fair and entertainment to come off the latter part of November. The trustees of the church wish to have the building painted this fall, and there is a considerable sum in the treasury for that purpose—the proceeds of the Easter offering. The ladies are anxious to carry out the idea suggested by the late rector, the Rev. Mr. Trew, and procure a bell. They are confident that the people of Anaheim and vicinity will take some interest in both these objects. A rusty, dilapidated looking church indicates a lack of public interest in religious matters. A sweet toned bell ringing cheerily on Sunday mornings revives happy memories of days gone by to many who perhaps rarely go to church. The members of the Mission and their friends hope to procure a six hundred pound bell. For this, and the balance needed for painting, they want to raise three hundred dollars. They propose to furnish a dinner and supper, and to offer for sale a variety of useful articles—chiefly wearing apparel. They solicit orders for ladies' underwear, children's clothing, aprons, etc., to be made at the meetings which they propose to hold weekly; said orders to be sent by letter, or given in person to Mrs. J. A. Emery, Los Angeles street, Anaheim. The entertainment in the evening will consist of a dramatic performance and tableaux. Due notice will be given both in the Gazette and its posters as to time, place, and terms of admission. Our citizens would do well to take a few extra precautions in securing their doors and windows for the night. Two or three probable attempts at burglary have been nipped in the bud during the past week, as it were, by accident. The annual vintage always attracts into town a number of idlers of all sorts, besides the Chinese and Indians. The latter, as soon as they receive their week's pay, are apt to get drunk, and are then ready for all sorts of mischief. Several suspicious-looking characters are lounging about the streets; apparently without means of support, and unwilling to work; and although they have not been detected in any unlawful acts as yet, it behooves our citizens to take all possible precautions to guard their property. The cheapest lands in Southern California. The Board of Supervisory received an opinion from the effect that the Baxter tax for Mountain View S.C. the matter of the application Woodworth for wharf friefton, the petitioners were drawn their petition for citation, without prejudice;lege was accorded to J.J. applicant for a franchise H. McLellan, of the P.O. wharf franchise at Wilmott. The above information is the report of the proceeding as published by the Mirror in Los Angeles with entitlement per tact enough to print local legislature.

There will be preaching in the Presbyterian church to morrow (Sunday) morning at 11 o'clock, at which time the Communion of the Lord's Supper will be administered. We are indebted to Professor Finck for copies of the New York Evening Post, on which paper a son of the Professor is engaged in an editorial capacity. Mr. Charles Engler and wife arrived in Anaheim on Thursday with the intention of settling here. They are the guests of their friend Mr. H. C. Gade. According to a census Bulletin received at this office, there were 84 acres planted in tobacco in California in 1880, from which was produced 73,317 pounds. Los Angeles county produced 8,200 pounds. The Trustees of the State Normal School have decided to construct the Branch School of brick, instead of wood, and have awarded the contract for 700,000 bricks to Thos. Goss, of Los Angeles, at $9.75 per thousand. We understand that Capt. Geo. C. Knox, formerly of Anaheim, has been appointed Superintendent of Construction on the Texas Pacific, now building in the vicinity of El Paso, N. M. The Masons have fitted up the lower half of the Masonic Building with a stage, dressing rooms, benches, etc. to be used as a public hall. Rev. Mr. Staehli will probably hold German services in the new hall every Sunday. The famous Stearns Ranchos have thousands of acres of choice land suitable for apple orchards and for sale at low prices. The apple crop has been largely overlooked in Southern California but is one of the great factors in the prosperity of our country and we are glad to see it beginning to receive proper attention. Commercial. On Tuesday last an accident occurred at the slaughter house of Mr. Santacruz, at the Ballona, which resulted in the death of a Frenchman named Bernard Soustrat. It appears that deceased and a Californian, whose name we did not learn, were engaged in cleaning up the corral, the latter working with a fork and the former with a shovel. While the Californian was in the act of casting a fork full of rubbish the Frenchman, who had been stepping up and the always attracts into town a number of letters of all sorts, besides the Chinese and Indians. The latter, as soon as they receive their week's pay, are apt to get drunk, and are then ready for all sorts of mischief. Several suspicious-looking characters are lounging about the streets; apparently without means of support, and unwilling to work; and although they have not been detected in any unlawful acts as yet, it behooves our citizens to take all possible precautions to guard their property. The cheapest lands in Southern California are those which are offered for sale in the vicinity of Anaheim. The owners of the Stearns Ranchos are selling their land at from $25 an acre upward, and there are thousands of acres at that figure which are in the highest degree adapted to the growth of vines and semi-tropical fruits. With the facilities for irrigation which will hereafter be afforded, there is nothing risked in predicting large sales of these lands in the near future, and if they do not double in value within the next twelve months, then many people besides ourselves are previously mistaken. Our courts are unusually busy just now. During the week up to yesterday, ten or twelve arrests were made—mostly drunks. In Justice Bailey's court, during the same time, the following proceedings were had: One or battery, one for assault, one for discharging fire arms in the streets, one for embezzlement and a civil suit for damages. Lee Ahr was arrested for peddling without a license, and another disciple of Confucius was brought up on a charge of hitting a small boy with a brickbat. The aggressor was charged $8.25 for this little diversion. We hope to be in a position next week to give to the public full details of what the Anaheim Water Company propose to do to insure a steady and abundant water supply to its stockholders. It is probable that in a few days the work of the surveyor and the various negotiations which have been pending for some time, will have reached a state of forwardness that will permit of the publication of the plans of the Company. We have received from Matthew Cooke, Chief Executive Horticultural Officer of the State, a pamphlet of 72 pages, entitled "A Treatise on the Insects Injurious to Fruit and Fruit Trees." The pamphlet will be ready for distribution about the 20th instant, and fruit growers can procure copies by sending two cents for postage to Mr. Cooke at Sacramento. Mr. Alexander Henry returned on Thursday after an absence of thirteen months, during which time he has been in Alaska and on the Mexican coast. He is steward of the schooner Iso, and the vessel now being on the dry dock at San Francisco, Mr. Henry is enjoying a vacation. In ordering the Clerk ed proposals for the purchase of El Monte school district to place the advertising and Gazette. The ostype for this was that the paper have wider publicity than one paper only; but this apology was shown in whom the Herald's such crumbs which fell from table was gall and worked that the advertisement Herald because it Organ, and the Democritus had of necessity means to give it some may be proper to remain ZETTE is serenely indicted this matter, its only should be the innocence and bickering among them only alludes to the mass for the remark that they of the Herald's advertised from the fact ment alluded to continueable" space in the Herald after it was what is dead; i.e., several weeks ment ought to have caused of the sale of those who fill their columns should not have the stereotyped "$1 a insertion and 50 cents a sequent insertion."

He was a new ornamental street cornera. "Tar Flats" of San Francisco delight was to tell them merous scrapes and ad On Tuesday last an accident occurred at the slaughter house of Mr. Santacruz, at the Ballona, which resulted in the death of a Frenchman named Bernard Soustrat. It appears that deceased and a Californian, whose name we did not learn, were engaged in cleaning up the corral, the latter working with a fork and the former with a shovel. While the Californian was in the act of casting a fork full of rubbish the Frenchman, who had been stooping, raised up and the fork struck him in the face. One of the tines entered his eye and, it is supposed, penetrated the brain. He was brought to the French Hospital, where he died on Wednesday evening and was buried yesterday. Deceased was a native of Agemon, France, aged 54 years. Items from the Express: Three English vessels, Princess Louise, Margaret Heald and Maggie E. Seel, are now taking on cargoes of wheat at Wilmington for European ports. The traffic between San Francisco and way stations via Los Angeles to the East amounts to 350 cars daily. Freight between San Francisco and Chicago in some instances passes now through Los Angeles... It will be remembered that about a year ago four men went on a burglarious raid around the Mission San Gabriel, Pomona, Anaheim, etc., creating quite a scare. Three of them were arrested soon after the robberies, but the fourth, a man by the name of Jim White, has escaped detection till the other day he was arrested in Pomona, and is now in jail awaiting examination. INSURE AGAINST FIRE By taking out a policy in one of the companies of which Richard Melrose is Agent. Prompt payment of losses, and liberal rates to insurers are the characteristics of the companies he represents. Mr. Alexander Henry returned on Thursday after an absence of thirteen months, during which time he has been in Alaska and on the Mexican coast. He is steward of the schooner Ino, and the vessel now being on the dry dock at San Francisco, Mr. Henry is enjoying a vacation. The following real estate transaction occurred during the week: A M McGuffie, James McGuffie and M L Wicks to Lucy L Morrison — 50 acres in Rancho Canyon de Santa Ana, and water rights; $600. BORN.

"Tar Flats" of San Francisco delight was to tell the numerous scrapes and acts of which he was a mere part he had played scrape, he had, singing three Spaniards all at once, some days ago, Pete because that isn't using his exploits, as usual. Some of the yarns were veteran entertained with narrator's valor and reverence. He suddenly remembered was going on in Spain pressed an ardent desire for exposulations and made danger of going among theseeral finally agreed to friend to the scene of herter took the precaution watch and some other tel; then they started saloon the General sliding a friend," and gave that who immediately slipped ed. The General rejoined on,and turned until they came to a thick hedge of willow their destination,said he place where several committed; it might be panion who did not know that if he was trouble he must throw The "Gazette" Sends Greeting to its Contemporaries. The Board of Supervisors last week received an opinion from the District Attorney to the effect that the Board cannot levy a tax for Mountain View School District. In the matter of the application of Perry & Woodworth for wharf franchise at Wilmington, the petitioners were allowed to withdraw their petition for purposes of correction, without prejudice. The same privilege was accorded to J. F. Janes, another applicant for a franchise. The petition of H. McLellan, of the P. C. S. S. Co. for a wharf franchise at Wilmington was granted. The above information we condense from the report of the proceedings of the Board as published by the Mirror—the only paper in Los Angeles with enterprise and newspaper tact enough to print the doings of our local legislature. The editors of the daily papers sit sulking in their sanctums, biting their not overclean thumbs at the Gazette, because we spoiled their little game of charging the county larcenous prices for publishing the advertisements of the Supervisors; and by a process of reasoning peculiarly their own they imagine that they are inflicting dire punishment upon the Board by refusing to publish their proceedings. If their Creator had endowed the journalists of Los Angeles with even a modicum of the common sense which he has bestowed upon the average mortal, they would know that such a line of newspaper conduct is less harrowing to the feelings of the Supervisors than to the unfortunate patrons of those journals, who rely upon finding the news of the day in their columns. The conduct of the trinity of alleged journalists in this matter is all the more surprising when account is taken of the small amount of meat on the bone they are struggling to get their fangs upon. We don't suppose the Supervisors spend $100 a year in advertising, and their favors for a twivemouth would not fill the space which the papers mentioned have devoted to ill-natured and unmannerly paragraphs concerning the award of official advertising. If the impudence of Los Angeles editors is to be gauged by the amount of snarling they do over the loss of $7 or $8 a month, they are entitled to the consideration of the charitably inclined; and we will be among the first to contribute a few dollars for their peat the words "Amigo, Amigo, Amigo!" and his life, at least, would be safe. The spirits of our friend had fallen considerably. "He had good legs, anyhow, and there wasn't a blamed 'greaser' in creation could catch him in a fair heat." His voice trembled; he half decided to turn back. Suddenly, with a blood-curdling shout, a half-dozen forms sprang from the hedge and rushed upon Pete and his companion. Quick as thought Pete turned about and ran. Pear lent him wings, and his nimble legs took him towards town at a tearing gait. The boys, uttering a whoop and muttering fierce imprecations, started in pursuit, and two of them soon came up to the fugitive. Just as they were about to grab him, Pete stumbled and fell—accidentally or otherwise—and one of the two pursuers, a tall, burly fellow, was upon him, brandishing a knife. In an agony of terror, Pete threw up his hands and cried: "Amigo, Amigo, Amigo! No speak 'Spanyole'—take all I got!" Some time later the General came along and helped Pete to the hotel, for he would not venture alone for his life. By morning the victim had nearly recovered, and within a couple of hours the whole town knew he had been attacked by twelve masked desperadoes, some six feet tall, and all carrying murderous-looking knives and pistols, and that he had miraculously escaped with his life. He was the hero of the hour. He ceased not to brag of this exploit, and the boys determined to give him a second scarre, which was equally successful. The hoax culminated in a third attempt on Wednesday night, when, owing to a misunderstanding, the boys "gave themselves away." We must not be understood as countenancing any unlawful proceedings under the guise of a joke; but the victim was considered "fair game" and the boys carried the affair no further than to test his much-boasted valor and prowess. It was a little joke of the boys—although it was far from being a joke to Pete. Of course now the "cat is out," and the sport in that quarter is ended. The whole affair has been discussed with never ending amusement, not only among the boys, but even among our staid and sober citizens, and the unfortunate victim of this cruel hoax will probably never hear the last of it. The Extra Session. The Senate convened in extra session in Washington on Monday. Senator Harriet The Ohio and Iowa Elections. SAN FRANCISCO, October 12.—The returns from Ohio are not complete. The Republicans have carried the State by from 10,000 to 15,000. The Temperance vote is less than 20,000. The Legislature is in doubt—the complexion depending upon the result in Hamilton county, which is uncertain. CINCINNATI, Oct. 12.—Hamilton county, with forty-five precincts to hear from, shows nine out of ten Republicans elected to the House. It is stated that two out of three are elected to the Senate. Columbus, Oct. 12.—The Chairman of the Republican State-Central Committee claims Foster's majority as 15,000. The Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee concedes that claim. The Republicans claim that they have certainly control of the House without the aid of Hamilton county, and hope to have control of the Senate. The Chairman of the Democratic Committee says the Legislature is in doubt and that the result in Hamilton county must decide it. DES MOINES, (Iowa.) Oct. 12.—Additional returns give partial reports from 39 counties. It is estimated that the Republican State majority over the Democrats is 55,000, and over the Democrats and Greenbackers both, 38,000. It is estimated that the Republican majority in the Legislature is 79. The Democrats don't concede all these figures, but do not discount them materially. Wells, Fargo & Co. There are packages in Wells, Fargo & Co. office for the following persons. Mrs R H Clark, F A Francis. The present market value of the stock of the Silver King Mining Co., of which President Garfield owned 1,000 shares, is $20 per share. The stock has already paid the late President $7,500 in dividends, and will bring Mrs. Garfield an income of $3,000 a year. $4 a share was paid for the stock. About fifty editors in Nebraska have announced simultaneously their intention of suspending the issue of their papers for two weeks, "owing to the intense heat." The heat was that of a fire which burned the office in Omaha where their insides were printed. MR. J. W. LOWE, ``` small amount of meat on the bone they are struggling to get their fangs upon. We don't suppose the Supervisors spend $100 a year in advertising, and their favors for a twivemouth would not fill the space which the papers mentioned have devoted to ill-natured and unmannerly paragraphs concerning the award of official advertising. If the impunity of Los Angeles editors is to be gauged by the amount of snarling they do over the loss of $7 or $8 a month, they are entitled to the consideration of the charitably inclined; and we will be among the first to contribute a few dollars for their relief whenever they, or some one acting in their behalf, will pass around the hat. In ordering the Clerk to advertise for sealed proposals for the purchase of the bonds of El Monte school district, he was instructed to place the advertisement in the Herald and Gazette. The ostensible reason given for this was that the advertisement should have wider publicity than if it appeared in one paper only; but the gauziness of this apology was shown in the Commercial, (to whom the Herald's success in securing the crumbs which fell from the Supervisor table was gall and wormwood,) which showed that the advertisement was given to the Herald because it was the Democratic Organ, and the Democratic Board of Supervisors had of necessity to devise ways and means to give it some of the official pap. It may be proper to remark here that the Gazette is serenely indifferent in regard to this matter, its only regret being that it should be the innocent cause of dissension and bickering among the Three Graces. It only alludes to the matter to pave the way for the remark that the much-vaunted value of the Herald's advertising column may be inferred from the fact that the advertisement alluded to continued to fill the "valuable" space in the Herald for several weeks after it was what is technically known as dead; i.e., several weeks after the advertisement ought to have been discontinued because of the sale of the bonds. Publishers who fill their columns with "dead" matter should not have the effrontery to claim the stereotyped "$1 a square for the first insertion and 50 cents a square for each subsequent insertion." A CRUEL HOAX. That was rather a cruel joke of the boys; but it must be admitted that things had been awful dull in our town for a long time, and when the prospect of a genuine adventure of a novel sort, which gave every promise of success and offered a subject for weeks of future discussion and enjoyment, the boys entered into the arrangements with a readiness and spirit which did much towards the successful carrying out of the deep-laid scheme. He was a new ornament to one of our principal street corners. He was fresh from the "Tar Flats" of San Francisco, and his great delight was to tell the boys all about the numerous scrapes and adventures of the gang The Senate convened in extra session in Washington on Monday. Senator Harrison presided. After the usual preliminary business, and the President's proclamation having been read, Pendleton moved to adopt the following resolution. That Thos. F. Bayard is hereby chosen President pro tem of the Senate. Edmunds said that of course he did not object to the present consideration of the resolution, but he thought under existing circumstances it was his duty to present the credentials of Senators-elect, which he thereupon did. The credentials having been read, Edmunds moved that the oath of office be administered to those gentlemen by Senator Anthony, the senior Senator. Pendleton moved to lay the motion on the table. Carried. Yeas, 36; noes, 34. Davis, of Illinois, voted with the Republicans in the negative. Mahone did not vote, and Platt and Fair were paired. Bayard was then installed as President of the Senate, for which he returned thanks and invoked the consideration and co-operation of the Senators. He referred to the sad circumstances which caused the call of the Senate and said that the grief which penetrated every household in the land should soften party asperities in the Senate and lead to harmonious action. There is said to be an intention to oust Bayard, now that the New York Senators have been sworn in. Commenting upon this, the New York Times says: If the resolution to declare Anthony President pro tem, was before the Senate and Davis was to abstain from voting, Anthony would be elected. It will be seen, therefore, that Bayard holds his position by a very uncertain tenure. It is only necessary that Davis should remain silent on his perch, and the Republicans would have a majority of one. Then, again, if Davis was to be presented as the Republican candidate for presiding officer and should vote for himself or should even abstain from voting, he would be elected. This view of the situation has suggested to the minds of some of the Republicans a compromise between what is possible and what is desirable. They may take Davis if Davis will not by his masterly inactivity permit them to elect Anthony. Davis can help the Republicans by simply keeping quiet. He can help himself by taking such a position that the Republicans must choose between Davis and Bayard. Obviously Davis holds the key of the situation. A Sun Washington special says: A friend of David Davis said to-night that the Senashare. The stock has already paid the race President $7,500 in dividends, and will bring Mrs. Garfield an income of $3,000 a year. $4 a share was paid for the stock. About fifty editors in Nebraska have announced simultaneously their intention of suspending the issue of their papers for two weeks, "owing to the intense heat." The heat was that of a fire which burned the office in Omaha where their insides were printed. MR. J. W. LOWE, Oi Santa Ana, desires to inform the people of Los Angeles county, especially those living south of the Santa Ana river, that he is agent for the California Windmill and the Althouse Windmill, and although he has sold hundreds of them, he has yet to hear first word of complaint concerning them. He guarantees them to be superior to all others in the market. Particular attention is called to the fact that all mills bought from Mr. Love are hung without extra charge. Purchaser will do well to bear this in mind. All information cheerfully furnished by addressing Mr. Lowe at Santa Ana. BUNDY & McFADDEN, the hardware dealers of Santa Ana, have just received, direct from the East, another large lot of STOVES. They now have the largest stock in Southern California, and as they purchase everything from Eastern manufacturers they can undersell all other dealers in their line. Selling Out! AT COST Until Oct. 15 Being prevented by unforeseen circumstances from going to San Francisco before the middle of October, I will continue my great sale. ALL THE DRY GOODS, FANCY GOODS, GROCERIES, BOOTS & SHOES Etc., Etc., will be sold until October 15th for Original Cost and Freight For Cash been awful dull in our town for a long time, and when the prospect of a genuine adventure of a novel sort, which gave every promise of success and offered a subject for weeks of future discussion and enjoyment, the boys entered into the arrangements with a readiness and spirit which did much towards the successful carrying out of the deep-laid scheme. He was a new ornament to one of our principal street corners. He was fresh from the "Tar Flats" of San Francisco, and his great delight was to tell the boys all about the numerous scrapes and adventures of the gang of which he was a member, and the prominent part he had played in them. In one scrape, he had, single-handed, demolished three Spaniards all at one time. One evening, some days ago, Pete (we will call him Pete because that isn't his name) was relating his exploits, as usual, to "The General." Some of the yarns were tough, and that veteran entertained some doubts as to the narrator's valor and reputation for veracity. He suddenly remembered that a fandango was going on in Spanishtown. Pete expressed an ardent desire to see it. After exposulations and many warnings of the danger of going among the rough characters that frequented these gatherings, the General finally agreed to pilot our adventurous friend to the scene of the carnival. The latter took the precaution to leave his gold watch and some other valuables at the hotel; then they started. When opposite the saloon the General slid in "to say a word to a friend," and gave the word to the boys, who immediately slipped out and disappeared. The General rejoined Pete and the two went on, and turned up two or three streets until they came to a road bordered by a thick hedge of willows. They were nearing their destination, said the guide; this was the place where several outrages had been committed; it might be useful for his companion, who did not understand Spanish, to know that if he was attacked or got into trouble he must throw up his hands and re-stain from voting, he would be elected. This view of the situation has suggested to the minds of some of the Republicans a compromise between what is possible and what is desirable. They may take Davis if Davis will not by his masterly inactivity permit them to elect Anthony. Davis can help the Republicans by simply keeping quiet: He can help himself by taking such a position that the Republicans must choose between Davis and Bayard. Obviously Davis holds the key of the situation. A Sun Washington special says: A friend of David Davis said to-night that the Senator would not consent to be a candidate for President pro tem. of the Senate, and he will, if necessary, decline in open Senate to allow his name to be used, but he is reported to have said that his vote would not hereafter prevent the Republicans from electing Anthony. If he should continue in this mind, the Republicans can and probably will elect Anthony by one majority. It is also stated to-night that Davis will not vote for the Democratic candidate for Secretary of the Senate. Thermometrical Record.
