THE RAILROAD HORROR Particulars of the Accident at Tehachepi. On last Saturday morning, the overland express train from San Francisco to Los Angeles halted, as usual, at Sumner. The steep grade commence there, and all south bound trains at this point receive a "helper," an extra engine, which accompanies the train until it has reached the summit of Tehacepi Pass, where it is taken off. The train reached the summit about half past 2 o'clock last Saturday morning. The "helper" was coupled between the train and the regular engine, and to get it out of the way it was necessary to take both engines from the train, which was done, leaving the cars standing on the summit of the pass alone. This is a customary practice. On reaching the top of the grade the brakes are set, and the two engines detached. The regular engine moves down the track out of the way, and the "helper" runs on to a turntable, where all hands' assist in turning it around, preparing to its return run to Sumner. On the morning in question, after turning the "helper" around, it seems that most of the train hands went into the dispatcher's office for train instructions. While the seven cars were thus left unguarded, in some way APPORTIONMENT OF THE STATE SCHOOL FUND. EDITOR GAZETTE — The following is the second quarterly apportionment of the school funds. This money is derived from the county taxes, and is known as the county school fund. The apportionment is made in accordance with Section 1858 of the School Law. One teacher is assigned to each district for every 70 census children, and $165 is apportioned for every teacher assigned: DISTRICT No.of Teachers ANT-T Anaheim 5 $924 Alamela 2 230 Alamifos 1 167 Artesia 2 230 Arosa 4 630 Ballona 2 230 Bog Dale 1 165 Bodas Grande 1 165 Calhenga 1 165 Cantalla 1 165 Cerritos 1 165 Cleonga 1 165 Old Water 1 165 Debbi 1 165 Diamond 1 165 Denney 4 620 Duarte 1 165 O Monte Lake 1 495 Elizabeth Lake 1 165 Fair View 1 165 Florence 1 165 Mountain Valley 1 165 Garden Grove 1 165 Green Meadows 1 165 La Dew 2 330 Laguna 2 330 La Pigente 2 330 Laurel 1 165 Little Lake 1 165 THE VITICULTURAL COMMISSION. The following opinion of the Supreme Court denying the power of the Viticultural Officer to enforce rules adopted by the Board of Viticultural Commissioners, will be read with interest by the fruit dealers and vine growers of this section: SUPREME COURT IN RANC. (Filed January 12, 1883) THE COURT. EX PARTE COX ON HABEAS CORPUS, No. 10,802. The petitioner was convicted of a misdemeanor consisting of the violation of a rule and regulation of the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners. The powers attempted to be exercised by the Officer and Commissioners are specified in the act of March 4, 1881 (Stats, 1881, p.51). The act declares that the Officer shall have power, subject to the approval of the Board, to declare and enforce rules and regulations in the nature of quarantine, to govern the manner of, restrain or prohibit, the importation into the State, of infected vines, cuttings, and empty fruit boxes, etc.; the act also declares that a wilful violation of the quarantine regulations of the Board shall be a misdemeanor. which was done, leaving the cars standing on the summit of the pass alone. Thus a customary practice. On reaching the top of the grade the brakes are set, and the two engines detached. The regular engine moves down the track out of the way, and the "helper" runs on to a turntable, where all hands' assist in turning it around, preparatory to its return run to Sumner. On the morning in question, after turning the "helper" around, it seems that most of the train hands went into the dispatcher's office for train instructions. While the seven cars were thus left unguarded, in some way motion was imparted to them, and they rushed with momentarily increasing speed down the steep grade. So frightfully rapid became the pace that some of the sleeping passengers were awakened and intuitively felt there was danger. After going three miles a sharp curve caused the rear car to pump the track. The strain broke the comping, and while five of the coaches plunged over an embankment, the other two sped onward. These two coaches were brought to a standstill by some passengers applying the brakes. The five cars which were turrown from the track caught fire from the stoves and lamps, and burnt like tinder. Of the passengers 21 were killed and 13 injured. The scene at the warehouse at Tehachept is thus described. Stretched upon the floor in different parts of the large room were twenty-one dead bodies of persons who had a short time before had been in the possession of life and health, and who had little dreamed that when they went to bed in their sleeping car perhaps Friday night they would wake up in eternity. Of the whole number of twenty-one bodies stretched upon the floor of the depot warehouse at Tehachept Summit, but four were fully recognizable, the remaining seventeen being burned almost to a crisp. In one place was seen a handful of ashes and a few charred and burned bones that were known in some manner or other to belong to what was once a human being; in another section of the room was placed with revolential hands—a human skeleton—the bones sharpened all the flesh entirely burned off, again was seen a body but partially consumed by fire, which by a feature of one kind or another could be identified as belonging to some well-known person of a day before; but of the twenty-one dead bodies but four were untouched by fire. Following is a partial list of the killed: Mrs. John G. Downey, body burned almost to your vision; Mrs. S. J. Cassell, Miss M. E. Squires, of Oakland, Charles K. Pierson, Col. J. C. Laribee, of San Bernardino, Wright and Lawrence, sleeping car porters; Thomas Keegan and Feedinand Gromfort, tramps, H. O. Oliver, L. Wetherell. The wounded are: Ex Gov. Downey, slightly; Mrs. J. K. Brown of Alameda, slightly; Miss Minnie Peterson, two ribs fractured; Porter Ash, slight bruise on face; Mrs. P. C. Hatch, Mrs. R. L. Hatch, F. M. Dougherty, postal agent; A.L. Waterhouse, of New York; Harry Connors, newsboy; J. Woodhall, McCall Gov. John S. Cassell and two children, R. C. Ross, Capt. T. H. Thatcher, Stephen Coffyn, J.W.Searles. None of the injured are seriously hurt. General Manager Fillmore advances the following as an explanation of the accident be exercised by the Officer and Commissioners are specified in the act of March 4, 1881 (Stats. 1881, p. 51). The act declares that the Officer shall have power, subject to the approval of the Board, to declare and enforce rules and regulations in the nature of quarantine, to govern the manner of restrain or prohibit, the importation into the State, and the distribution and disposal within the State of infected vines, cuttings, and empty fruit boxes, etc.; the act also declares that a willful violation of the quarantine regulations of the Board shall be a misleadance. For the purpose of local legislation, legislative functions may be conferred upon and exercised by municipal corporations; but the act before us is in no sense a conferring of powers for municipal purposes. The legislature had not authority to confer upon the Officer or Board the power of declaring what acts should constitute misleadance. The legislative power of the State is vested in the Senate and Assembly. (Const. Art. IV, Sec. I). That power could not, as to the case before us, be delegated to the Officer or Board. The act before us does not say it shall be unlawful to import, distribute or dispose of infested articles, but it attempts to confer upon the Officer or Board the power to so declare. (Cooley on Const. Lim., p 141 and cases cited.) The petitioner is discharged. The Sunday Law. The Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee reported in favor of repealing the Sunday law, but the Republican minority of the committee made this following report: The undersigned members of the Judiciary Committee beg leave to present this report relative to Senate Bill No. 1, repealing the Sunday law, and recommend that it do not pass for the following reasons: That while we are in favor of granting to individuals of a community the greatest possible liberty consistent with the public good, and are also in favor of all measures carrying into effect the constitutional provisions relative to enjoyment of life and liberty, and the acquiring possessing and protecting property, and the pursuance and obtaining safety and happiness; we can, but regard the sections of Code proposed to be repealed as being in the nature of necessary police regulations; the creating of which is called for by our State Constitution. That by such police regulations but just and necessary power is placed in the hands of the authorities of various cities, cities and counties and towns of this State, and by their repeal vice and crime will be encouraged and the power and authority of the various executive officers weakened; that following the example of older and more experienced States, who found that laws of the character now proposed to be repealed were wise and beneficent, the present law was enacted, and we do not think it wise for so young a State as this to take a backward step at this time. The petitioner is discharged. Respectfully, J.W.Hinton, Superintendent of Schools. Los Angeles Jan. 18, 1883. Mayor Thom's Views. Assemblyman Moffitt having requested C.E.Themom, the Mayor of the city of Los Angeles, to give his views on the question of county division; that gentleman has written the following letter, which was endorsed by the members of the city council: Los Angeles Jan. 19, 1883. Hon.A.B.Moffitt-Door Sir Your esteemed favor of the 18th prox is just to hand. Answering permit me to say that in my opinion the proposed dismemberment of the county of Los Angeles is premature and ill advised. Some of the resultant evils would be: 1st,a two fold enlargement of that noble army of martyrs known as office seekers; in name of humanity let this thing not be done. 2d.The great increase in taxation that would be imposed on both sections. 3d.The degradation of this splendid heritage of ours from a first class to a third or fourth class county,and 4th.Because I do not believe that the masses any- The wounded are: Ex Gov. Downey, slightly; Mrs. J. K. Brown of Alameida, slightly; Miss Minnie Peterson, two ribs fractured; Porter Ash, slight bruise on face; Mrs. P. C. Hatch, Mrs. R. L. Hatch, F. M. Dougherty, postal agent; A. L. Waterhouse, of New York; Harry Connors, newsboy; J. Woodhall, McCall Gov. John S. Cassell and two children, R. C. Ross, Capt. T. H. Thatcher, Stephen Coffyn, J. W. Searles. None of the injured are seriously hurt. General Manager, Fillmore advances the following as an explanation of the accident: "The hand-brakes were tightened as much as possible by the trainmen, but the air being let out of the pipes, the hand brakes became loose owing to the change of position of the wheels by the release of the air. There was a high wind blowing at the time and when the engines were detached the train was moved by the force of it down the slight incline it was standing on at the time, and gaining the steep slope, rushed down hill with tremendous speed. The rocking caused the stoves to upset and ignite the cars, and the burning mass went on its downward course, till the second sleeper, when on the top of a fill fifteen feet high, jumped the track and went over the embankment, carrying with it the forward cars, while the couplings between it and the smoker having broken, that car and the day coach continued on their way down the track, being stopped only two miles below the fill where the remaining cars had gone over the embankment. This occurred while the help engine was being transferred to the turn table, and before the regular engine could be attached." Some of the Southern railroads have gone into the business of raising forests, and the results are likely to be advantageous. It has been discovered that the moisture of the soil in many parts of the South is very destructive to the ties, and the creosoting process to protect the wood has proven so expensive that the companies have determined to use the wood of the catalpa and ailantus trees. These woods are said to be more durable in a moist soil than any others now used, and to secure a supply large plantations have been seeded for both varieties in equal proportion. Upon the Iron Mountain road catalpa ties have lasted nearly fifteen years. Both trees are rapid in growth and easy of propagation, and flourish in the moist soils of Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. They, however, are not likely to turn the prairies into sweet-smelling forests. Take a piece of thin masticin, and wrap it tightly round a ball of cotton wool as big as an orange. This forms a dabber, and should have something to hold it by. Then squeeze on to the corner of a half sheet of foolscap a little color from a tube of oil plant. Take up a very little color on the dabber, and work it about on the center of the paper for some time, till the dabber is evenly covered with a thin coating. A little oil can be used to dilute or moisten the color if necessary. Then put your leaf down on the paper and dab some color evenly over both sides. Place it then between the pages of a folded sheet of paper (unglazed is best), and rub the paper above it well all over with the finger. Open the sheet; remove the leaf, and you will have an impression of each side of the leaf. Any color may be used. Burnt or raw sienna works the most satisfactorily. A fact has just been made known which throws a pleasing light on the relation of master and servant in Germany. As a reward for long and faithful discharge of duty by domestic servants, the Empress some time ago instituted a special distinction known as "the Golden Cross." This decoration is only bestowed on women who served in the same family for forty years and upward. It is now announced that within the last six years no fewer than 893 servants have obtained the coveted distinction. You can get the best Boggy Whip for the least money at the new Harness Store. Answering permit one to say that in my opinion the proposed dismemberment of the county of Los Angeles is premature and ill advised. Some of the resultant evils would be: 1st, a two fold enlargement of that noble army of martyrs known as office seekers; in the name of humanity let this thing not be done. 2d. The great increase in taxation that would be imposed on both sections. 3d. The degradation of this splendid heritage of ours from a first class to a third or fourth class county, and 4th. Because I do not believe that the masses anywhere within our borders desire it. Trusting that you may succeed in averting from the good people in the lower end of the county the evils that secession has in store for them, I have the honor to be, Very truly yours, etc. C.E. Thom Leaf Copying. A bride arrested for robbery. New York, January 20. A Sun special from Fredericksburg, Va., says: "A few days ago Alonzo Lynch was married near Bowling Green, Caroline county, to Miss Isola Abbey. The parties were of good social position, and the wedding was largely attended by the best people. As the happy couple were about to board, the northern train on their wedding tour they were arrested by a detective on a charge of stealing $1000 from James Wright, an uncle of the bride. Their friends were indignant at the arrest, pronouncing it an outrage, but the officers insisted that they knew what they were about. The bridal couple were taken to the hotel parlors and the detective insisted upon searching them. This was done but no money was found, and the officer was about to release them, when a lady friend present, confident of the bride's innocence suggested, sarcastically, that the officer had better look in her hair." "I believe I will," said the officer, whereupon the bride turned pale, and said: "Oh, don't; please don't; I have not got it there." Her hair was worn in heavy coils. She took it down, and neatly coiled in the heavy braids of her back hair were $130 in greenbacks. Subsequently, the rest of the money was recovered. The bride is only 19 years old and pretty. When the newly-married couple left the house after the ceremony the uncle, from whom the money was subsequently stolen, threw an old shoe after the carriage." GAZETTE. JANUARY 27, 1883.

[Belgria.] Red hair, some years ago, was not admired; yet now it is almost as much esteemed as yellow, as barbers—we beg pardon, "chinologists" they term themselves nowadays—by means of certain "charms," can produce upon it a beautiful golden yellowish sheen, that out yellows yellow itself. Red hair was always an object of aversion among the ancients. Ages before the time of Judas Iscariot red hair was thought a mark of reprobation. Typhon and Nebuchadnezzar are instances of this; the former who acquired it because he deprived his brother of the sceptre of Egypt; and the latter who bore it in expiation of his atrocities. Even the donkey tribe suffered from this illomened visitation, according to the proverb "Wicked as a red ass." Asses of that color were held in such detestation by the Copts; that every year they sacrificed one by hurling it from a high wall. Black hair was not much esteemed by the Romans; but red hair was detested. Auburn or light brown was thought the most distinguished; as portending intelligence, industry, a peaceful disposition, as well as a great susceptibility to the tender passion. Castor and Pollox had brown hair; as also did Menelaus. The hair m. s. in esteem was such as of local legislation, legislation may be conferred upon and municipal corporations; but the in no sense a conferring of special purposes.

Over thirty new buildings have been erected since I moved here; or since I first visited the place in November. Land is changing hands rapidly and new buildings are contracted for every day. Some are coming simply for names and health. Others who also share some means are buying from twenty to forty acres of land with the intention of planting to fruit and vines,and make money in the future. Others have only a little means pay part for the land and expect to raise something from the land to help pay for it in the near future. The water facilities are being rapidly developed. A large reservoir has been constructed,and most of the pipe is made for bringing the water into the villages. Several fine artesian wells have been struck at depths varying from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and twenty five feet. Several of them belong to the land company here,and the water flows through the town. Some parties have already taken time by the forelock and flooded their lands,but the supply is not large enough to allow of winter irrigation for large tracts of farming Hare you heard of Allen MacCollin?

I tried the prescriptions of our leading physicians as well as numerous Professors.of the University with but little benefit. As a last resort they recommended an operation which I declined," as I had a great horror of the knife.

Several of them belong to the land company here, and the water flows through the town. Some parties have already taken time by the forelock and flooded their lands, but the supply is not large enough to allow winter irrigation for large tracts of farming land. The price of land in town lots is about $400 per acre, but outside forties and twenties can be bought for from $75 to $125 per acre, with water rights. There are two grocery stores, one hardware, three general merchandise and one confectionery and candy store, two barber shops, one bakery, two saloons, two blacksmith shops, one tin shop and another one being erected. Two butcher shops and a new one commenced. One drug store and a new one building. The place swarms with carpenters who are all busy. Fast Work in a Carriage Shop. At the annual dinner of the Carriage Builders' National Association, in Philadelphia, Hon. Phineas Jones told of fast work he had later witnessed in a carriage factory that turns out from 15,000 to 20,000 carriages in a year. He said: "I saw them setting tires. I noticed how fast they put the tires on the wheels. They put on 53 sets of tires in 50 minutes. That is work, and it is a fact. One man put the tires into the oven and took them out after they were heated. There were about 16 tires heated all the time in the oven, and then there were two rollers driven by a belt revolving all the time, with a strong fire at the rear of it, and when the tires were taken out, two other men stood there and put them on. I timed them, and they put on a set a minute. And the man told me that one day, when the tire setter wanted to be away the next day, and it was then five o'clock in the afternoon—he told him that those wheels had got to be tired the next day, and he said: "I will tire them to-night." There were 53 sets of them, and he put them on in 50 minutes. Those are facts. I noticed one man setting tires, and I timed him with my watch. He lit the forge and put on a tire a minute. I said that is likely work." Have you heard of Allen MacCollin? Read what he says: "I have been a great sufferer for 15 years with Itching Piles.
