White have sold two Mitchell farm wagons and a buggy in the past three days. There are nineteen sea-going vessels, besides numerous small craft, now at anchor in Wilmington harbor. Dr. W. N. Hardin has lost two valuable medical books. The finder will please return them to the Doctor at his office. We learn that Mr. Edward Evey has purchased a tract of land at Pomona, and will build a grist mill and warehouse. The rainfall on last Sunday night amounted to but two hundreds in town—not enough to damage the hay and grain which are yet in the fields. Dr. Ellis has now an office in the building. A NIGHT'S FUN. The Expleits of Four Fast Young Men and Women. The wanton killing of one Chinaman and the wounding of another has been the topic of the week. The fact that the victims were of a despised and contemned race has not, we are glad to record, shielded the murderers from the indignation of the people; and the hope that they will receive mete punishment is as fervently expressed as if the victims were men of mark and influence. About five miles east of Anaheim, in what is known as Upper Santa Ana, lived six Chinamen. They rented a small tract of land and raised vegetables which they peddled every morning in Anaheim and Santa Ana. On Friday evening of last week, when they were all asleep in their house, they were awakened by some persons on the outside who demanded admittance. The demand was followed up by vigorous blows on the door with an axe, and two of the Chinamen pressed against the door to prevent it from yielding. Suddenly the blows ceased and a fusilade of pistol shots was fired by the attacking party. Through an opening in the door several of the bullets entered. The "boss" Chinaman fell mortally wounded, and his companion was also hit but not seriously. The attacking party then drove off and the Chinamen sent a messenger to Anaheim to procure medical assistance. Mrs. Dr. Higgins responded, but before her arrival on the scene one of the men was dead. The other received all the care which his condition demanded. An inquest was held on Saturday morning by Justice Bailey. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death at the hands of some party unknown. The Deputy Sheriff and Constable of Santa Ana, however, after an investigation of the circumstances, discovered evidence sufficient to warrant them in arresting Dol. Faulkner and — Davison, two young men who reside at Santa Ana. They had an examination before Justice Humphreys. The story as we gather it, is in brief that on the night in question the two men induced Miss Harwood of Orange and Miss Day of Gospel Swamp to go to the photograph gallery where Davison is employed and don A New Fruit. Mr. J. T. Stewart of Ackley added a fruit dryer which is superior in many respects. It is called the "Compound Dryer." It is difficult to paratus without the aid but some idea of the place from the following description tabular boilers and two horizontal pipes. The passes from one boiler layer of pipes and into where it receives add forced through the second back to the original boiling process indefinitely.

The rainfall on last Sunday night amounted to but two hundreds in town—not enough to damage the hay and grain which are yet in the fields. Dr. Ellis has now an office in the building formerly owned by Mr. Menzel, and can be found there at the hours specified in his card, to which we direct attention. The Seal Tropic says: "A lady in the southern portion of the county informs us that her 96 hens and chickens netted her an egg little sum of $225 during the last year." On last Sunday a young son of Mr. D. Strodthoff was thrown from a horse and had his arm broken near the wrist. The little sufferer is getting along all right. As will be seen by the advertisement, Mr. J. A. Forbes will deliver an address in the Spanish language in Anaheim on the evening of the 21st instant. No quorum was present on Wednesday, the day for the meeting of the Board of Town Trustees. The meeting was therefore deferred until next Wednesday. Mr. H. M. Hays has rented the Hennefeld house on Auguste Street, and will occupy it with his two children and housekeeper. The register of the Plantera' Hotel shows that there is a decided increase in travel of late, and there is an increased demand for land. As the Gazette goes to press at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon, we must reserve until next week a report of the Republican meeting which was held last evening. Dr. J. A. Crane, who has been sojourning at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, for some months, will return to Santa Ana about the 20th instant, and again resume the practice of his profession. The Anaheim Republicans, having nothing particular to enthuse about, have dropped the proposed political club with as much celerity as if it had been the legendary hot potato. Mr. T. D. Culter, a former resident of Westminster, arrived on Monday from San Carlos Indian Agency, Arizona, after an absence of some years. It is probable that he will open a blacksmith shop in Los Angeles. The Deputy Sheriff and Constable of Santa Ana, however, after an investigation of the circumstances, discovered evidence sufficient to warrant them in arresting Dol. Faulkner and — Davison, two young men who reside at Santa Ana. They had an examination before Justice Humphreys. The story as we gather it, is in brief that on the night in question the two men induced Miss Harwood of Orange and Miss Day of Gospel. Swamp to go to the photograph gallery where Davison is employed and don male attire. Procuring two buggies and some liquor the party drove to Orange, and as they passed the Chinese wash-house at that place they fired at it with their revolvers, in sheer wantonness. The liquor they had imbibed had evidently taken full possession of them when they attacked the Chinamen at Upper Santa Ana, and they drove from there to Anaheim, signalizing their advent into town by firing several shots. They drove to the hotel and bought soda water—"to sober up on" as they explained—and after a brief visit to a disreputable house they returned to Santa Ana, having had "fun enough to last for six weeks"—which remark they made to the hostler at the stable when they returned their teams. It is probable that their "fun" will have to last for as many years, unless they can manage to amuse themselves at San Quentin. On Tuesday, Justice Humphreys was too ill to proceed with the examination, and further proceedings were postponed until this morning, when they will be resumed if the Judge has sufficiently recovered. So great was the excitement and so boisterous was the audience which gathered to listen to the evidence, that after the first day the case was heard with closed doors. The prosecution is represented by Messrs. Victor Montgomery and G. Wiley Wells, and the defense by Messrs. K. E. Edwards and S.M. White. The Chinese friends of the murdered man take great interest in the case, and it is they who have engaged the counsel for the prosecution. The two girls have been made co-defendants. Several separate complaints have been made, and the one now being investigated is, we learn, wherein Davison is charged with firing at the wash-house in Orange. The body of the Chinaman was exhumed on Wednesday and the ball extracted, to be used as evidence by the prosecution. The Supervisors have accomplished the somewhat difficult task of reducing the tax levy to $1.40 despite the default in the payment of the railroad taxes. It is not pretended, we believe, that this levy is sufficient. The various funds will be depleted at the expiration of the fiscal year, and there will be no money to meet unforeseen or extraordinary expenses. But the demand for a low tax rate was so great that it could not be ignored. Mr. Hewitt, representing the railroad district at his death at the hands of some party unknown.

It is probable that he will open a blacksmith shop in Los Angeles. The 160 acres of land advertised for sale to day is one of the choice tracts in this part of the country. As it will be sold in small tracts there will be little difficulty in disposing of it. Read the advertisement. Goodman & Rimpau will begin on Monday to remove their goods to the new ironfront store. The work of removal will occupy nearly the whole week. They will signalize the event by displaying a splendid assortment of new goods. The dwelling house on Los Angeles Street, purchased some time ago by Mr. Wm. Konig, and which has undergone great improvements, has been rented by Mr. H. Caleb who removed thither during the war. The St. Helena Star says that Prof. Pohndorff, the noted writer on viticultural subjects, who favors the GAZETTE with articles occasionally, has been engaged by Chas. Krug of St. Helena to look after his large wineries. Mr. J. E. Stackpole has resigned as a member of the Republican County Central Committee for Anaheim. Now let the County Committee fill the vacancy by appointing somebody in Downey. As an evidence of the way land values are stiffening in this vicinity, we may cite the fact that Mr. Schorn, who bought the Evey property two months ago for $10,000, has already refused $12,000 for it. The same property was offered for $9000 a year ago. The Supervisors have accomplished the somewhat difficult task of reducing the tax levy to $1.40 despite the default in the payment of the railroad taxes. It is not pretended, we believe, that this levy is sufficient. The various funds will be depleted at the expiration of the fiscal year, and there will be no money to meet unforeseen or extraordinary expenses. But the demand for a low tax rate was so great that it could not be ignored. Mr. Hewitt, representing the railroad company, appeared before the Board and stated that the company was willing to pay its taxes for 1880 and 1881 on a valuation of $10,500 a mile, notwithstanding the recent decision of the U.S. Circuit Court in favor of the company. But the compromise could not be entertained by the Board, in the face of the fact that the District Attorney said they had no power to compromise, and the Attorney-General had threatened to take dire legal vengeance against them if they accepted the proposition. As an evidence of the sound business sense of the people of Anaheim, it may be said that the petition to compromise was signed by every man to whom it was presented—farmers and merchants, poor and rich. And it is notorious that the anti-monopoly sentiment is as strong here as anywhere; but our people never permit their common sense to be obscured by blind passion or prejudice. Rev. Mr. Harris, of the Spanish Protestant Mission, reports an increased interest in religious matters among the race to whom he ministers. There are thirteen members in his church and an equal number have expressed a wish to become members. It is proposed to build a church, and a subscription paper which was circulated yesterday was very generally signed. John Ryan discharged his pistol on the street the other night and when remonstrated with by A. Lippi he threatened to perforate that gentleman. For this offense he was arrested by Constable Bohn and taken before Justice Gannon, who fined him $10. A New Fruit Dryer. Mr. J. T. Stewart of Anaheim has invented a fruit dryer which is claimed to be superior in many respects to any other in use. It is called the "Compound Hot Air Fruit Dryer." It is difficult to describe the apparatus without the aid of an illustration, but some idea of the plan may be gathered from the following description: There are two tubular boilers and two sets or layers of horizontal pipes. The heated water passes from one boiler through the first layer of pipes and into the second boiler, where it receives additional heat and is forced through the second layer of pipes and back to the original boiler, to repeat the process indefinitely. The water in its passage through the pipes is kept at extreme heat by blasts of hot air which come from a pipe running at right angles with the water pipes, and which is pierced with holes from which the hot air streams. As no steam is generated no water is wasted, and when once the boilers and pipes are full, but little additional water is needed. The apparatus being placed in the basement of a building and set in motion, it is but the work of a few moments to fill the building with hot air; and the trays of fruit placed in the building at one side are carried slowly to the other side by a moving frame and received perfectly dried. While the inventor claims that the apparatus will dry all kinds of fruit, it will be especially valuable for raisin making. A working model will shortly be prepared by Mr. Stewart, and if it is successful in its operation there will be little difficulty in securing aid to erect a dryer on a large scale in Anaheim. Supervisorial Splits. Harmony does not reign supreme in the Sixth and Seventh Supervisoral Districts. Dissatisfaction exists among the Democratic delegates of the Sixth district to regard to the nomination of Mr. Levi. It is alleged that only six delegates were present when the nomination was made and that "snap judgment" was taken. In last week's Downey Signal a call for another convention, to meet at Norwalk to-day, was published, but it is said that during the week the breach has been healed and that Levi will receive Board of Supervisors. Monday, Oct. 2d. In the matter of the Tax levy for the Thirty-Fourth Fiscal Year, 1882-83. On motion of Supervisor Rogers, the following levy is hereby made for the thirty-fourth fiscal year 1882-83, on each $100 of taxable property: State fund...59.6 cents Road fund...10.6 cents Current Expense fund...15.0 cents Hospital fund...6.0 cents Salary fund...7.4 cents School fund...18.0 cents Interest and Sinking fund, 1868...05 cta. 1872-3...02 cta. 1874...13 cta. 1875...00 cts. 1878...00 cts. 1881...01 cts. 1881...01 cts.

In the matter of the Laurel School District Bonds. One thousand eight hundred dollars worth of bonds sold to Nelson Vanderlip at three per cent. premium, amounting to $54. In the matter of the Pass School District bonds. One thousand five hundred dollars worth of bonds sold to Nelson Vanderlip at three and three-quarter per cent. premium, amounting to $58.75. TUESDAY, Oct. 3. A petition was received from the citizens of Anaheim asking the Board to compromise with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company on the basis of $10,500 per mile. Referred to District Attorney. City assessments for sewer purposes, levied on the court-house and jail property, was referred to the District Attorney, as to COUNTY NEWS. Gleaned from our Exchange. Herald. A serious and most distressing accident occurred in the press-room of the Herald yesterday noon. A lad named John Lally, who was carelessly near the press while in motion, slipped and his foot got caught in the machinery. The poor lad uttered the most heart-rending shrieks when he felt the terrible pain, and it was several moments before he was extricated from his fearful position. When removed his foot was mashed almost to a jelly. Medical assistance was at once called in and it is feared that the boy may have to lose his toes. Express. This morning at half-past 11 o'clock a serious accident happened to John Falvy, a youth about fifteen years of age, who was riding on the switch engine at the new depot. It appears that he was standing on the steps of the moving locomotive, and attempted to jump to the ground, when his coat caught on a projecting bar and he was jerked to the ground. In attempting to save himself his feet were extended across the track, when the drive-wheel passed over them crushing both at the instep. The doctors have amputated the feet of young Falvy across the instep. The unfortunate lad is beginning to rally, and he is doing as well as could be expected. Commercial. The Southern California Packing Co. has purchased 1,000 hogs in Ventura county at seven cents per pound. As these are all heavy hogs the amount of the purchase is about $20,000. The hogs will be packed in East Los Angeles. We learn that Peter Dietrich, a native of Bavaria, and steward of the German bark Meluane in San Pedro harbor, was drowned from that vessel on the 24th ult. It seems that Dietrich developed symptoms of insanity, and at 11 o'clock on the night stated, he jumped overboard. The officers and men did all they could to save him; but he sank before the boat, which was manned at once, could reach him. Times. A Times reporter yesterday heard of a crime committed under most peculiar cir- Supervisor Splits. Harmony does not reign supreme in the Sixth and Seventh Supervisoral Districts. Dissatisfaction exists among the Democratic delegates of the Sixth district to regard to the nomination of Mr. Levi. It is alleged that only six delegates were present when the nomination was made and that "snap judgment" was taken. In last week's Downey Signal a call for another convention, to meet at Norwalk to-day, was published, but it is said that during the week the breach has been healed and that Levi will receive the full support of his party. There is also decided dissatisfaction among the Republicans of Anaheim at their failure to secure a resident of this place as a candidate for Supervisor. They believed they were entitled to it, and were willing that the convention should name any capable resident of this place. But their refusal to concede to the request has provoked dissensions in the party and aroused a spirit of defiance which will result in loss to the whole Republican ticket. It is probable that an independent candidate for Supervisor will be announced during the coming week. In the Seventh District there is also a split in the Democratic ranks over the nomination for Supervisor. It is claimed that improper influences interfered to prevent a fair and honest expression of the views of the delegates, with the result that Mr. Richard Egan, the present Supervisor, failed to receive the nomination. Believing that he is acceptable to the mass of the voters in the district, his friends propose to put him forward as an independent candidate. Mr. M. L. Goodman has applied for a patent for an improved shirt front which we predict will soon be in universal use. To all outward appearance, the bosom is identical with the profanity-producing button-at-the-back garments which have of late years caused untold misery to that portion of mankind who wear shirts. Mr. Goodman's patent, however, is really an old-fashioned shirt bosom, with the buttons in front, but the buttons are skillfully concealed. It is safe to say that nine buyers out of every ten would prefer to purchase a shirt of this kind in preference to the styles now in common use. The Farmers' Ditch Company of Orange-thorpe has been incorporated. Its capital stock is $12,000 divided into 600 shares at $20 each. The following are the officers: Wm. Schulte, President; S. L. Chilson, Vice President; E. Browning, Secretary; A. J. Mead, Treasurer. These officers, together with Mr. B. F. Porter, constitute the Board of Directors. Three hundred shares have been sold. The company proposes to purchase winter water from the Anaheim Water Company if favorable arrangements can be made. The Republicans of the Second Supervisorial District have nominated C. Scheffillin In the matter of the Pass School District bonds. One thousand five hundred dollars worth of bonds sold to Nelson Vanderlip at three and three-quarter per cent. premium, amounting to $58.75. TUESDAY, Oct. 3. A petition was received from the citizens of Anaheim asking the Board to compromise with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company on the basis of $10,500 per mile. Referred to District Attorney. City assessments for sewer purposes, levied on the court-house and jail property, was referred to the District Attorney, as to whether or not the county is liable for the payment of said assessment. On petition of B. A. Yorba, Auditor, five clerks were allowed at $3 per day each for the time of their necessary employment. In the matter of the Pasadena and Montey Paas road, the case was set for hearing November 14th. In the matter of the report of the reviewers on the King road, report filed and case set for Nov. 14th. In the matter of issuing bonds for the Sycamore School District, the Trustees were authorized to issue bonds to the amount of $2,000. In the matter of the election proclamation, it was ordered that a proclamation be issued for the election to be held Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1882. On Wednesday and Thursday the Supervisors were engaged in defining the boundaries of the various election precincts in the city and county, after which they adjourned until Nov. 6th. The advertisement of the Third Annual Fair is published today. From Mr. R. H. Hewitt, the efficient Secretary, we learn that the prospect for a fine display of productions (including babies) at the Pavilion is very bright. The races and the display of stock at the Park will be beyond anything heretofore seen in this county. We hear of a great many people in this part of the county who intend to go to the Fair. Mrs. M. R. Pleasants, of Anaheim, has offered a special premium to any lady in California (a pair of thoroughbred Angora kids valued at $50) for the best display, at the Los Angeles Fair, of extracted honey, not less than twenty pounds and not less than ten pounds of comb honey. These animals are useful and profitable, and would be a very valuable adjunct to any mountain apiary. Mr. Wm. Fromhein is having a well bored on his place by J. T. Stewart. The pipe is already down a hundred feet, and it is probable that gravel will be found at a depth of about 125 feet. Mr. Chas. R. Brown has returned from a brief visit to Tombstone. He reports the mining interests of the territory as very promising. LOS ANGELES MARKETS.

The officers and men did all they could to save him; but he sank before The boat, which was manned at once, could reach him. Times A Times reporter yesterday heard of a crime committed under most peculiar circumstances. It appears that a Mexican named Yuba, living near Santa Ana, on Wednesday last attempted to chastise his son, some fourteen or fifteen years of age, for a trifling offense, when the boy started to run away. The father picked up a rock, lying at his feet, and throwing it at a moment when the boy turned himself to look back, the deadly missile struck the poor youth squarely in the breast just above the heart. It is said he fell dead instantly, never appearing to breath or move a muscle even, afterward. The father immediately came into Anaheim and surrendered himself to the authorities. He is wild with remorse, and grave fears are had that the father will become insane from grief. It is not believed that the father had any intention of hitting the boy, much less of killing him. The region of Santa Ana and Anaheim seems peculiarly subject to tragic occurrences, just at present. [We fully appreciate the difficulty which reporters experience at getting at the facts of an incident which occurs at a distance. It is therefore more in sorrow than in anger that we ask the Times to acknowledge its error in crediting Anaheim with the above tragedy, and we especially ask it to state what tragic occurrences it has reference to in the last paragraph. We cannot call to mind but one "tragic occurrence" which has happened in Anaheim for the past ten years, and we do most emphatically assert that crime of every kind is rarer here than in any other community in Southern California. The episode mentioned in the Times paragraph occurred at San Juan Capistrano, thirty-three miles from here, and it is said that the father surrendered himself to the Santa Ana authorities.]—Ed. GAZETTE.] The Republicans of the Second Supervisoral District have nominated C. Schefflin for Supervisor. The Republican delegates of the Sixth District met at Norwalk on Monday and nominated C. C. Mason of Downey for Supervisor. In the Seventh District, J. H. Moasser of Santa Ana has been nominated by the Republican delegates as their candidate for Supervisor. The tickets of both parties are now completed. The party from Bloomington, Indiana, mentioned in these columns some weeks ago, arrived on Thursday and have already become domiciled in houses which had been engaged for them previous to their arrival by Mr. D. W. Fish, an old-time friend of theira. The party comprise Mr. R. M. Gamble and family, Mr. Roy A. Gamble, Mr. John Kerr and family and Miss Alexander. We join in welcoming them to our country. The rehearsal of sacred music unfiler the instruction of Prof. W. A. Packard will be held this (Saturday) evening at 7:30 o'clock in the Presbyterian Church. All are cordially invited to attend. Next week and thereafter the rehearsal will be held on Friday evenings. Mr. Dobner desires to call the attention of ladies specially to his recent importation of dolmans and cloaks. They are the most fashionable and stylish garments ever received by him, and the low price asked ought to induce every lady to buy one.
